The current has been eenerallr applied through the hands or feet, in such power as to convulse the nervous and muscular ay item, and frequently producing are parable injury; sometimes it has been applied by manna of metallic conductors to different parts of the body, which is equal to a prose-a of cauteriantiou—and the effect upon the nervous s, stew Is similar to that pro duced by over doses oi tyr Quinine.

Vjt Vreos TUESDAY, JANUARY 10354 Parliamentary Defeat.; A question was recently put to tutikifin in telligent ex-member of the NewJermyl,egis laturo, , 4 When the British Mintatty'ji,TO lit a i minority in the House of Connhona Why do they resign? In Congress, the 'Clolertiment frequently have pet measures rejectoi, yet the Cabinet never think of leaving (MO.": As the %%ply may give information to othets be sides the questioner, we give it heti ihstead of by letter. , ) In the first place, the Cabinet at Valthing ten aro not, cannot be, members of Ciaa6T 43— that is they cannot sit either in the Senate or in the House of Represenistiv i ts. ' On the other hand, every Cabinet Minister in England is in Parliament, 3144 it the 'House of Lords by hereditary :woolen, or In the House of ,Commons as electe4 repre sentative for a county, city, or boroub. .The main work of British legislation le thine in the House of Commons, where, as with ;40111 money-bills must originate. bret'tha littlish Cabinet alone, but a groat many minor Ifficials, in fact, in both Houses arc from eiglctrto a hundred gentlemen holding Governtue4 ap pointments, to say nothing of militaty, naval, and civil functionaries paid by the croim, or receiving pensions for past servieei, . hue, in the House of Commons, consisting ilt 058 members, about 250 are directly in X•celpt of salary from the Crown, and therell Inevita bly committed, more or less, to thelpol l icy of the Government for the time being..;. •`, In Congress, where neither Cabinet Minis tors nor other officials have seats; what aro called Government measures are, intro duced by members in the confidante and fighting the battles of the Admintsttatan. ; If ono of these measures be defeated:Au - either House, the resignation neither of a Cabinet Minister nor of the member who , intioduced the measure takes place. All that tarpons is the admitted defeat of the Administration, and the weakening thereby of its power, Ita moral force, in the country. A successionof such defeats necessarily enfeebles, if it tins not disgrace the Administration. Not sole Eng land, where a Ministry which cannot carry out its own projects, is felt, at once, not tapossess the confidence of the country, and *ten de feated, ustolly retires, preferring retignation to disgrace, and the certainty of•fatnre re buffs. .1 In 1857, Lord Palmerston being Prime Minister—a situation which Lord Elgh, at the Washington dinner, declared to he' ranch the same as that, ia" President is Avittilus--thsi House of CoMmotis passed a votescontblanning his Administration for having cnterlinto the war with China without duo groun96, Lord Palmerston obtained the' usual, pistnistdon from the Queen (i to take the Beaks of the country," by dissolving the Parliaui*Nrbieb had condemned him, and the General Elea. lion which followed again gave ltlin?:iaajosity in the House of Commons. Early 30 the fol lowing year, (18580 the House o f Ofaulteolli again condemned Lord Palinetatetil after, sini.'s atteiupt to assasainate L for4 -4, Napoleon HI. As this wan ` to t t 7 ton, Napoleon Parliament chosen under his •ia4 pin , there was no pretext for anothoj4litai Election, and the Palmerston*DNC signed, their, offices being give*, . Derby, Mr. Disraeli, and others of ,Gpriservatixe_wirly, veinfneni of the ton.t4t-Wilf*lnOi*spilitiL when they were met by,a,flostilti tifialc9 4 sti eheir Reform Bill. Lord Derby, ieasonably, -alleging that the vote carried against hint hy,a`, small majority, represented the views of Pal trunnion, who had that Douse of Commons elected, dissolved Parliament, and thereby gained some small dccession of n,t not enough to overpower the Opposition, who, led by Lord John Russell, carried a vote of want of confidence In the Derby Ministry, on the part of the Commons, and the result was that the Derby-Disraeli Government resigned *Ace, Palmerston and Company succeeding them. In the present mouth, a fortnight or so from this time, the British Parliament will re-as semble. The Palmerston Ministry are pledged to introduce, 83 a Government mea sure, a new Reform Bill. The principles and details will probably bo objected to by the op position phalanx, led by Mr. Disraeli in the House of' Conunons, and the effect of a hostile voto being carried against the Ministry would lead to the resignation of Lord Palmerston and his colleagues. It is doubtful whether the Queen would again permit them to rush into the lottery ofu General Election. If not, the Conservatives would be recalled, and these probably would introduce another measure of Parliamentary reform—a compromise measure —in which all salient points of objection would be removed so as to obtain the votes or a ma jority in Parliament. The actual reason why the Ministry should resign °ince, on a Parliamentary defeat, is, because their defeat proves that a majority hi Parliament is opposed to them, and it is al most impossible to carry on the Government— that is, to, pass its measures and obtain the in dispensable money-votes, without the aid of the majority in the Commons. To b, defeat ed is not to be disgraced, but to }midst in holding office In the teeth of a defeat, Which shows undoubted weakness, is considered so disreputable that few British statesmen have ventured to risk it. Would it not be easy to withdraw the measure which had failed to meet With the support of a Parliamentary majority P' Easy enough. But England wants a Reform Bill, and the whole country would cry cc shame l" and count itself swindled if Pahnerstom'en a hostile vote, were to shelve his Bill and remain in Mike.

I'd like somebody to show me a reason why men should go about talking of disappointed hopes, blighted affections, the fickleness of women, and all that, when every body knows that men aro just as inconstant, if not more so, than our own Rex.

DOI:OLARR AND THE if UT/W+ FERRY INRIMITECTION.--The Rev It. L. Carpenter, of llalifax, at which town Frederick DOUglttli to at present staying, states that the latter was con cerned In the resent insurrection in the following way only Ito is charged' by Captain 'Cook with having abetted the Harper's Parry insurrection, and then deserting it. As Ito has informed the Amerionn public by letter, which has appeared in many of their papers, Captain Cook is wholly unknown to hint, and his accusation is untrue. Unless Captain Cook was r. person who once called on him with Captain Brown, ho does not even know who he is. With Captain Brown Mr. Douglass has long been very intimate, and he entirely approved of his platl of Itolitttig the Coos to elope to the monn- tales, and secure their freedom. Ile was cognirant of the Harper's Ferry plan, but did his utmost to dimmed° him from ft. In his anxiety to avert what he doomed art impracticable scheme, be went, about a month before the event, to visit Captain Brown at Chambersbureabout twenty-eight miles from Harper's Ferry. Ilia argumente were, how ever, unavailing; and his visit would no doubt be taken as an evidence that ho was a party to the plan. He is in no way, therefore, mixed up with the insurrection, except in so far that be did not betray his knowledge of it, and he is not in any way chargeable with deserting Captain Brown, since Captain Brown well knew that he was op posed to it.—Lontlon New, Dec. 20.

An Why .betrayed in • very rampant man ner In the laveneton or oembinatione whieh eau= not be effected, and in the display of dexterity which is only nimble in getting over time vrithout getting under weigh. Every honorable gentleman implores every other gentleman to make acme sacrifice on the altar of patriotism ; to go for a •' national" man ; to abhor sectionalism ; to con serve conservatism; to love the Union; to hate the "common enemy," . and to do 'leversl other things of which it is hoped tiro exhorter is a brilliant ex ample. But this is not always the ease; bearing which in mind, I think it would bo rand' more salutary if soma gentlemen who eell on others to make stiorifices would first lay themselves out on the altar of patriotism, and others, who talk of the " common enemy," would only cot like the consistent friend of some eligible man. Indeed, the House of Representatives is little more than a village debatiog club, on a larger scale, in whioh the rivals for oratorical honors affect the phrases of the great, and ring the changes on sue" words as "national," "conservative," "patriotism," "Union," "liberty," and the like, not to convince, but to confound those who have been kindly invited to look on.

They could not do it amongst themselves, and when af forded the opPertunity they would not vote for a Southern man—olltner, of North Carolina, with his eighty-six Diggers. When they coma to their senses In that respect, Stokes would consider the tempting gifts of the honorable gentlemen from Mississippi. When they would show a positive evi dence of tho desire to defeat the Republicans by the election of a Southern Oppositionist, like Oil• mar, then he would talk to them. Runt, of Arkansas, started to his feet, and in the course of a strong colloquy with Stokes, declared in an impassioned manner he could not and would not vote for Mr. Gilmer, because ho had received Hume Republican votes for Speaker. This Fug. gostod to Mr Stokes a proposition as follows : If Mr. Booock, nominated by a Democrat, received the twonly-three Southern Opposition votes, and the ton or twelve Republican votes which hod been oast for Mr. G ihnor, would the Demo crats who had voted for him stand up and change their votes because their candidate received Re publican votes ? This was a poser, and was put and roput, and was repeated over and over again by rho stentorian Stokes with constdorable effect. It brought several gentlemen to their feet. Val landigham would not work side by side with the Republicans now or at any time; and in declaring this told a story of such a oombination,whith, how ever, the ever-ready Ohioan politely took beck later in the day, as it might, by being taken as an Olustration of the present, throw an odious reflect ion on Mr. Bocook, which was the farthest thing from the Vallandiglanna intellect or interest. Oen. Million, with his calm emphasis, declared ho uould not, under such oirentuntances, change hie vote, be cause he would not hold Mr Bucuek responsible for the votes that might be cast for bite. Neither would Lamar change his vote, but under no oir ehmstaueca would ho vote for Gilmer, simply be °awe that gentleman was nearer to the Republi cans than ho was to him (Lamar,) English would not change his vote. Others gave 1011101Nhat nimi mr opinions, and Relit, while acquitting Mr. Do cock in such a case of any connection whatever with the votes ho might get, if ho got them from the Republicans, made a brief and effective appeal, :or rather explication to the Americans, Ile thought they and the Democrats could settle the whole qutstion, 113 they had the same interests to conserve, as against tho Republicans. lie would be nilling the Americans should select a Democrat, or the Demearats select en American; but if an American wee chosen for the Democrats, It shot, a. be by the Democrats, and not, se Mr. Gilmer wee, by the Republicans. Ile did not want the Southern Opposition choice of the Republicans. In the course of his remarks, Mr. Stokes a4l he would not vote for a Denies man any mom than TWO CENTS. for a Republican, upon which Mr. Logan, of HU- I nobs, very quietly " shut him up," as expressive slang has it. " HOW can you expect Douglas men to vote for Gilmer?" quoth Logan; and farther, " will you not vote for Etheridge ?" " I will," an swered Stokes. "But," rejoined Logan, " Ether idge, in his canvass, took exactly the sun a ground as Douglas. How could you vote for a man on that platform ?" A hit ! a palpable hit After some further making of mince-plea of each other, Me., John C. Davie, whom !nobody expeoted to see rise for some time, had a few words to say, the usual thing about the length of time consumed is not electing a speaker, and concluded by nominat ing Andrew Jackson Hamilton, of Texas. This was received with some applause. Daring the ballot, and when the names were called, some gentlemen bad small fire-crackers to let off, but Mr. Pugh, of Alabama, had quite a rocket. He bad always voted for McQueen oT South Caro line, to preserve, as he said, the integrity of hie antecedents and the symmetry of his record. his made rather a remarkable speech, showing ,how little the people of Alabama eared whether a Speaker was elected or not, . and also declaring that If he had the power, he would perpetuate dis cord—but, ales ! he was powerless. He was willing then—being powerless to make s row—to keep the peace, and vote for Hamilton, if the Amencane who bad voted against him would change their votes. Little speeches followed, and several votes haring been changed, Pugh voted for the Tynan, who on the ballot ran up to BY, Sherman holding file own 103; the " AIN anti•Leoeelptonites," Da vis excepted, voting fcr theinieltes. Hickman made an , unsuccessful effort to get his amendment up; but fought his f.shk with great ability.

Mr. Bstowx, of Mississippi, gave notice of his intention to introduce a bill to establish a Govern ment printing office. Mr. DAVIS, of Mississippi, introduced a bill to feeilitste the enlistment of soldiers in the army; to fix the pay and regulate the allowances of offi cers of the army; to promote the efficieney of the army by retiring disabled and infirm officers: all of which were referred to the Committee on Mili tary Affairs. Mr. WI hsos, of Massachusetts, presented a pe tition from a committee of the people of Boston, against the removal of the post office in that city. LANR, of Oregon, offered a resolution call ing on the President for the correspondence of Gen. Winfield Scott and Gen. Harney in regard to the Island of San Juan difficulty. Adopted.

Mr. Duces contended that there 'Fru no legal - Steire — tipti — ratt - Tioxernmetrar sharer %ma nasal' been reco g nised as property nationally, only lo cally. Ito quoteda letter of Monroe in support of his position, and read from the Spanish and other laws, to show that slaves ooulo not be considered as property. lie quoted also the opiniob of Jus• tine Story. Mr. I vensox moved to take up Mr. Pugh's reso lutions offered last week. Carried. Mr. Ivensoir said the Senator from Ohio had charged him with having advocated, in ISIS, while a member of the lower Howie the doctrine of pope tar sovereignty. die admitted, repelled, and re canted the error. He now regarded it to be the duty of Congress to protect,. by enactment, slavery in the Territorial, and dented the right of Con. gross to prohibit slavery therein. Ile then ex plained his action on the Oregon bill in 1848, and went into a history of the legislation of Congress since 1848 on this subject. Mr. Ivenson denounced Douglas and the Northern Democracy generally as occupying a po sition as obleetlonable as that of the Wilmot-prn• viso Repel:4lms. He wished the Charleston Convention to adopt en unmistakeable platform, asserting and carrying out, to the fullest extent, the principle of the Dred Scott decision. Ile did not want a platform like the Cincinnati Conven• lion, which coald bo Interpreted differently to suit the views of the different 'cations of the coun try. Unless that Convention did so, he would not support the nominee. exempt under sheer necessity, and then not, unless ho approved of the views of the nominee. Ile could su port Mr. Hunter, Mr. Breeklnrid i re, or Mr. - Stephens, of Georgia, even with a defective plat form, but under no cironmstances could he vote for Mr. Douglas. Ills rejection by the Charleston Convention and by the Southern people war 'Nora gone cattail:mien. His doctrines were as disastrous as those of the Republicans, and he had therefore' forfeited all claims to the support of the South. He had deserted his party eta critical juncture, and done more than any other man to defeat the party policy on the Lecompton issue. If he wished to get backinto the party, he must atone, by years of service, for the error. before he could regain its confidence. Ile thought the Northern Democracy, generally, nrimund, having in their State Conven tions, California not exeesited, sustained the doctrines of popular sovereignty, The old Whig party, which twenty years ego was as sound as the present Democracy, bas been swept away, and re. thing left of them, except Enlward Everett, Robert C. Winthrop, and a few others, whose declarations were mere sound and furs, signifying nothing, and who could not control a single vote. With a single exception. the Senators on the other side had de nied, by= their votes, the right of property in slaves. Mr. DOOLITTLE. of Wisconsin, SUppOSed he MS the exception referred to. Re desired to say that, in his opinion, property in man rested only upon the laws of the sovereign States, not by since of the Constitution. Mr. IvErtses said he was sorry to find that not ono honorable man on that side would recog nise property in slaves. Ile concluded by refer ring to Mr. Seward's irrepressible conflict doctrine, end regarded the election of a Democrat to the Presideney as necessary to the preservation of the Union. If a Black Republionn is elected. be would advocate a dissolution of the Union. Snob a choke would be a conclusive evidence of the settled hos tility of the Northern mind. What would bo the value of the 'Union if kept together at the point of the bayonet? We hoar such vaporing on this floor, but it generally came from men who would he the last to undertake the job. Let these brag gadocio hots-spurs come to the South to enforce their views, and they would not be shown the chance extended to John Brown, but be hung up like dogs. Adjourned. • ROUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. Mr. Wiwi;Low, of North Carolina, asked Mr. (lathell, of Georgia, (who woe entitled to the floor.) to give way for a oall of the House. Mr. Gdrtritutd. said that. although he wished to trespass OR the time of the House for a abort period to-day, if it was desired by his friends, and they thought there was a prospect of nn organisation, he would cheerfully yteld the floor for the purpose of voting—with the naderstanding that he would bo entitled to the floor when the discussion was re sumed. The roll of the House was then called. Mr. Satre, of Virginia, gave a humorous ex planation as to his tasting egg-nogg on the 2dth of December, which was kindly sent him by a lady, while he was speaking on that occasion. Although not strictly a temperance man, ho was remarkably temperate. He bad not taken a glass of spirits, without water, for forty.five years, although, he acknowledged, ho liked a little egg-nogg during Christmas flutes. [Laughter.] He nailed atten tion to the remarks of an Opposition paper, the Alexandria Gazette, in his distriet, which repre sents him as a strict temperance man. He com plained of the remarks of the correspondents of newspapers, who occupy, by courtesy, the report. era' gallery of the house, deliberately intended to bring the members into contempt and ridicule, instead of presenting them in the best possible position. It appeared, by the call of tho House, that the only members absent without a pair were Messrs. Florence, of Pennsylvania, Hindman, of Arkansas, and Taylor. of Louisiana.

The following are the resolutions adopted: DIVOCRATIC PLATFORM. The Dem. 0. B. Pieklin, from the Committee on Resolutions, reported the following, which were unanimously adopted : Wherta_,e The Democratic party, assembled to National convention, in Jane, li sd. by the anazi mows vote of all the delegates from evert State in the Union, adopted a platform of principles. Lithe only authoritative exposition of Democrat - it. doe trines, which remains unaltered and unalterable until the meeting of the Charleston Canrentioni And whereas, We have good ramnsa far the belief that, if we depart from the doctrines t f that platform by attempting to foree tpon the party new issues and teats, the Democracy of the several States may never be able to agree upon another platform of principles with the same unanimity And whereat, The Democratie party is the only political organization which can maintain in their parity the principles of self-government. the re served rights of the States. and the perpetuity of the Union under the Constitution; WArrd w/serera The unity, integrity, and eupre. macy. of the Democrithie party depend upou its faithful adherence to those fundamental peiplee upon which we have achieved so many glorious triumphs, and to which we are solemnly and ir revocably pledged. Therefore, Resolved, That the Democracy of Illinois. in State Convention assembled, do reassert and af firm the Cincinnati platform, in the words, spirit, and meaning with which the same was adopted, understood and ratified by the people in Bend ; and do reject and utterly repndiste all etch new issues and tests as the revival of the Afriesn Flare trade. or a Congremional slave code for the:Territories, or the doctrine that slavery is a Federal institution, deriving its validity in the several S/4483 and Ter ritories In which It exists from the Constitution of the Un.te 1 States, instead of being a mere muni cipal institutton. existing in such Stater sad Ter ritories "under the laws thereof.', Received, That there can be no exception N the rule that every right guarantied by the Constitu tion must be protected by law. in all cases where legislation is neoessary for its protection and en joyment; and, in obedience to this principle, It was the imperative duty of Congress to enact an efficient law for the surrender of fugitive deter.

That all questions affecting the validity or constitutionality of any Territorial enactments, shall be referred fur final decision to the Supreme Court of the United States. 83 the only tribunal provided by the Constitution whioh is competent to determine them. Rescdred, That, in the opinion of the;Demcerscy of Illinois, Mr. Buchanan truly interpreted the Cincinnati platform in his letter accepting the Presidential nomination, when he said, the peo ple of a Territory, like those of a Stale, shall &- aide for themselves whether slivery shall or shall not eziet within their limits!' Re:aka, That we recognise the paramount ju dicial authority of the Supreme Court of the United States, as provided in the Constitutioo, and hold it to be the imperative duty of all good citizens to rerpeot and obey the decisions of that tribunal. anti to aid, by all lawful means, In earning them into faithful execution. Resolved, That the Democracy of Illinois revel, with juet iodignatisn, the injurious and unfunded imputation upon the inturity and impartiality of the supreme Court, which is contained in the as sumption, on the part of the so-called Republicans, that, in the Drell bcott case, that august tribunal decided against the right of the people of the Terri tories to deelde the slaveryquestion for themselyes, without giving them an opportunity cf being beard by counsel In defence of their rights of self-govern moat, and when there was no Territorial law, en actment, or fact before the court upon which that question could possibly arise. Resolved. That whenever Congress or the Legis• lature of any State or Territory shall make any enactment, or do any act which attempts to divest, impair or prejudice any right which the owner of alarm, or any other species of property, may hare or claim in sty Territory or elsewhere, by virtue of the Constitution or otherwise, and the party aggrieved shall brine his ease before the Supreme Court of the United States, the Democracy of Illi nois, as in duty bound by their obligations of fideli ty to the Constitution, will cheerfully and faith fully respect and abide by the decision, and use all lawful morns to aid In givirg it full Effect, ac cording to its true intent and meaning. Resolved, That the Democracy of Illinois claw with inexpressible horror and indignation the mur derous and treasonable conspiracy of John Brown and his confederates, to incite a servileinsurrection in the slaveholding States; and heartily rejoice that the attempt was promptly suppressed, and the majesty of the law vindicated, by inflicting upon the conspirators, after a fair anti impartial trial. that just punishment which the enormity of their crimes so richly merited. Resolved, That the Harper's Ferry outrage was the natural consequence and logical result of the dottrines and teachings of the Republi,an party, as explained and enforced in their platforms, par tisan presses, hooka, and . prunphlets, and tho speeches of their leaders, to and out of Congresa and for this reason an hnnest and law-abiding peo ple should not be astistled with the disa‘ oral or disapproval by the Republican leaders cf John Iltown'a arts, unless they also repudiate . the doc trines and teachings which produced thri:n mons trous orimes. and denounce all persons who profess to sympathize with murders and traitors, lament ing their fate, and venerating their meteor: 83 martyrs who loist their lives in a just and 'holy cause Resolved, That the delegates representinz rui nois in the Charleston Convention be instructed to vote for and use all honorable means to secure tho readoption of the Cincinnati platform, without env additions or subtractions. . . ne.to/vrd, That nu honorable man can accept seat as a delegate in the national Democratic Con vention, or rhorad be recuAtisel to a member of the Democratic party, who will not abide the de• cisions of such convention and oupport its nomi• nees.
