Mr. GROW; For the first time since 1 have had' thd honor of a seat on this floor, I rise (o explain a vote; and I should hbt drt it, now hut for'the fact, that many gentlemen, with whom l ; have been acting'seem, from their votes, to take on entirely di/fe rent-view i of this resolution, end the proper action on it 1 for this Houie, front myself I- recognize, this House Wot- ns » political' cducus/to layi down platforms and political creeds. 1 have voted against all such resolutions, during thy term of service, as out of place. If there arc any men here who have been voting for (he lost six weeks for a Speaker, without' reosons sufficiently satisfactory in themselves, for their votes, they had belter resign and go home. Sir, for raydelf, lam satisfied with the votes I have given, nor do ! expect my course of action to be jn any way affected by this resolution. Ir simply declares that the elector has the right to know the opin ions of the candidate for whom he is to vote. The doctrine is a correct one. But in 'his case wo are the electors, and make such se lections of candidates as we’please, and vole for them with or without information, as we like, responsible to our constituents for our votes only, not for our means of knowledge, or the correctness of onr opinions. For those we must answer to ourselves alone, and not to our constituents. We are answerable to them as (a the judiciouspess of our selec tions of candidates, and not as to the infor ■nation that satisfies our judgment. Then, sir, in passing this resolution, if it mean anything more than a simple declara tion of a dbuml principle, we present the hu -mlliating spectacle of a set of men who have been voting here (or six weeks in the dark, and wc have only just found it out. Sir, if the majority or a plurality of this House will permit themselves to he diverted from the main object they have in view by propositions introduced by the minority, then you may sit till doomsday without accom plishing anything. If every proposition that is plausible is to he taken up and considered, no matter whether it pertains to the legitimate business of the House or not, then there will be plausible propositions enough to consume the whole lime, f have no objection to the principles set forth in that resolution; but this is not the place for mere declarations of natural or constitutional rights, tiul to legis late, and that alone, hfor am Ito be diver ted from what i consider to ho the proper course of action by any such fineste or re solves upon abstract rights. Mr. Clerk, we are not sent hero to make political creeds and platforms. We are sent fo enact laws, such as we believe to be for the good of the country. We have nothing to do with the annunciation of the doctrines of the Declaration of Independence by le'gis **w, w» \>c an j muct »»i me iiianciitturc rights of men. Our business is to enact laws, and put them into form, so they can he executed by the courts upon the great princi ples of justice and right; and there our du ties end, For myself, I am not to be diverted from my purpose in this contest, nnd I hope those with whom I am acting will not permit tliem •elves to be swayed from the course oT pol icy that we choose to pursue, by any such me on the part of our opponents. I have my own.creed and political opinions, and do not recognize the right of any man in this Hall to put any test of opinions upon me, by any resolutions that he may offer. Aciing upon that sentiment, I have, for the four years that 1 have occupied a seat on this floor, opposed the passage of any and every resolution introduced into this House for the mere purpose of establishing any such lest, or for declaring any abstract principle or doctrine of human rights. Sir, what has the constituency of any man to do with his vole for Speaker 1 He votes bpon his own knowledge, responsible to his constituents for his selection of a proper man ; and is there a member that desires the pas sage of this resolution for his own informa tion 7 What, then, is the object of this res olution? It is to divert the plurality of this House from their purpose. Instead of going on to vote nnd elect a Speakeil, the effect of the resolution will be to open a discussion be- tween the candidates and different : trmfnbers of this House, that may last for weeks. It is to put the candidates upon the witness stand, to be cross-questioned by men who do not vole for the particular candidate, and never would ; but they are eliciting informa tion for the benefit of those who do, lest, in their inability to take care of themselves, they should be imposed upon. It U cerininly very kind, but a .kindness that for: myself I do not appreciate. 1 1 But, sir, F take this occasion, to soya word in reference to the remarks just made by the gentleman from .Alabama, [Mr. Dowdell,] who .talks bf dissolving the Union if the Mis souri compromise is restored, [is abrogation was a wanton violation of good faith between the two Sections of this Union, and how can its restoration be a greater indignity and wrong to you than was its original passage to your fathers in 1820. It was passed then as on adjustment 'of conflicting interests, claimed at the timeby the South'as a Iri tiaipk, and regarded by the.

The fire broke out in the store building owned by E. Rose, Esq., and occupied by Mr. H. S. Greeno. The alarm was given at about 10 o'clock. 'Squire Rose bad bis office on the second floor ov. er tho store. All his books and papers, duckets, &c., were consumed.

Mr. Greeno’s loss is probably near 92,000. Insur ance, 91,500. ’ The fire spread to the store and grainbonse of Mr. Harrison Robbins, which were totally consumed. Air. Robbins had in store from 700 to 1000. bushels of oats, 60 or 70 of barley and a quantity of corn and wheat. No insurance. Trust OT. !>’*., less, a ud Viilurc more. A few days ago, a gentleman called upon us and rated us soundly for publishing notices of patent medicine men in the news columns of thfi paper. He insisted, we think unreasonably, that in copy ing such notices from other papers, we gave them our individual endorsement—something that no coo. sideralion except the ascertained truth could induce us to do. / A word regarding the of newspaper advertising: Every advertiser ia responsible for whatever he may choose loinform the public con. ccrning inylhing ho has on sale, what he has done, is doing and can do. It is not the duly of publish ers to hunt up the facts or fictions of every adver tisement offered for publication. They sro bound to exclude/All immoral publications and nothing '-more. If a man advertise to raise tho dead, the pub lic is U/jadge of the reasonableness of his preten sions. Tho publisher gets his pay and the adverti ser makes or loses in the proportion as that public is ignorant or. wise. All newspapers are more or leas dependent upon advertising and Job patronage for aupport- The’ country press ia wholly depend ent apoo this species of patronage fir existence, and so with the daily press everywhere. To those who find fault with advertisements in country papers, we say, wore it not for these very advertise ments you would have no county paper. Present ns with n list of .8000 91 subscribers and we can print you a paper, without, advertisements. We cannot afford to do it .one dollar leas., But wo prcler to publish a reasonable number of advertisements. No paper is perfect without them. i As for Patent medicine men and tfieir nostrums, wf consider them, like the ‘regulars,’ as necessary evils. We often read such advertisements,- hut nev er lake medicine—‘regular.’ or ‘patent’ Patent ; medicines are compounded of fregfllar’ siaiples,and like those' simples, are'Vixpenhy curses plentifully strewed in evdry community.

The ‘regtdar* medicine i* infallible as well as the ‘patent.* Now if Home sci entific huirsplitier. will point out the difference be tween Prof. Holloway and the ‘regular,* we will publish it with copious comments. Let none suppose that we endorse the nostrums advertised in this paper. We do no such foolish tiling. Neither do wo endorse the system of scien. lific drugging a* practiced by diplomaed physicians. Our motto is—-“ Obey the laws of health *nd Nature will do’thc rest.** To nuke a glutton of one’s self and then swallow physic, is to add insult to injured Nature. Have you a sore upon your hip 7 ‘ I mu-l make one on your shin to cure it !** says Doctor Saddlebags. Like Die old squaw who was consulted abrfut a fever-sore winch all (lie doctors had pro nounced incurable. The daughter of nature looked at the loathsome ulcer a few minutes in solemn si lenec. Then she walked to the fire, and taking a tea.kettle of boiling water from the crane, very de liberately poured the contents upon tho sore until it presented tho appearance of *cbickcn incut* “Ugh I‘* ejaculated *ho,'piiUing down tlie kettle, and regard less of tiro agony of her patient, “dgh I me core a burn!—me cure a burn!’* She did euro it; bat then, who will endorse the treatment? Are you down with a raging fever ? “Swallow this lobelia and gel into (ho steam bull!” says (he disciple of Thomson. “Heat is life and Cold in death,'* reasons he, so put on the steam, oiler being disemboweled with lobelia- Well, Thomson open, ed (lie. world’s rheumy eyes a tittle, and'proved >h*( folks can die by steam a* expeditiously as by Calo mel. Lest some captious ‘regular’ accuse us of med dling with other people’s business, wo will just ad* duce the testimony of no lew a personage than Prof. S. 11. Pottrr, from the American Medical Sf Surgi cal Journal, do says: “It U a great truth, which “ should be deeply impressed upon tlie mind «f the physician, thM Ihe majority of aickperaonatoill sure. ly recover without medical aid.” When it is known that no physician ever did, or can care a siok person, people will swallow no more drugs, without consideration. Then Prof. Hullmvny —drugs having became a ‘drug.’ Einjiiricijm rn■ ges among ‘regulars* and among quacks, tor the *ci encc of drugging is founded upon a fallacy. The old leeches nude some remarkable guesses and re* corded them'fur the profit of posterity. Yol a good physician is a benefit lo society. Those who have u passion for taking medicine may as well take patent nostrums as any. A great many patent nostrums arc perfectly harmless—as harmless as dough and extract of liquorice can make them. But not so, with all. Physic is on abomination, and a person having a proper knowl edge of the human system, its organs and their functions, will not be in a hurry lo gulp dowi salts, and other cathartic medicines on every trifling oc casion. And so we end ns wc begun, with— “Trpst Doctors less and Nature more.’, Last week we sent uncollected accounts Id sever al agents in different sections of the county, iW col lection. As general instructions we would say, that His desirable to have as many subscriptions com mence on tbe first of January as may be. Okl sub senbers can do Ibis. Those in arrears can piy up to the first of tbe year, and a year in advance. New subscribers commence at any time, IVhcn a sub scriber's time expires lie will find a stamp on the upper margiu of bis paper like tbia: This stamp may bo relied upon as a ierlain war. ning that not another number will be scit until the DOLLAR is remitted. Let none suppose that wc adopt the ‘no trsst' rule because we suspect the majority of our p ilous to bo dishonest. By no means. It is the equal |nnd exact justice which should prevail in the evuiyd.iy dealings of man with man. Besides, under tiicold terms, many a man has said to us when phyinf lor his paper six months in arrears,—“l don't file this smart-money business; when my year is ouljust slop my paper until you get your dollar.” That is the true system and none should like a notice of subscription expired unkindly. \ |j n e must be drawn somewhere, and the publishers latter themselves (hat they have drawn it in the.'/iirbl place. 1 , A Villainous Act.—On Sunday night, Ulli'ineL some scoundrel entered the. office of the Piiuton Hergld threw the typo in pi. and ruined the ino ebanical department of the office utterly, A few nights previously the same office was set ai firofnd the subscription kook With some of lliclype a>n-. sumed.

After the ISth of February, 1856, the AetTSToa will be publ.slied on tire pay-down system. The system will bo rigidly adhered to. , A number of considerations have . contributed to the adoption of lliis system nt tho present time. It is incumbent upon every individual to pay iris hon est debts. The well-being of society imperatively demands this; and, with proper economy, every man ordinarily cun do this, provided always, that he re ceives for his labor, value received. City papers have adopted the pay-down system almost universally, and with the happiest result*. It always proves two thing*: how many of the pa. Irons of a paper arc earnestly in favor of holding the laborer as “worthy of his hire,” and how many wi>>h lo aid in the support of their county p iper. It will, in this case, show how many friends (he Aon*. a tor bus unions its 1000 patrons. We have no anx ielicK concerning tho result. Many men have ex pressed themselves warmly in favor of the project— in fucif wu have found but one man .with tho face to oppose it. What farmer, will sell his produce and. wait fyr his pay until the produce is consumed 7 What tai. lor will nmko garments to order with the under* standing that lie shall be paid for (hem when the garments shall be worn out? Yet how many Hud fault if required to pay for their county pnper,tn ad vance ? Is it cheaper to pay ut the end of the year 7 On the contrary, it U not nb cheap; far, if payment (h delayed three months, even, the subscriber is re* quired to pay 50 cents additional. Is the use of one (ioilar for three months worth 50 cents ? Alt know belter limn that. Then why do some men prefer to pay $1,50 for their uup*T, when three or six months previously they might have had It for one dollar? The pay *duwn system is just to both patron and □rimer. There is no profit in a.large subscription list, nearly one-hall' of which consislsof non-paying subscribers. On thn contrary, it is a damage to ull parties and especially lu the publisher. At one dol lar per year, the profits on - one copy of this paper amount to about one shilling. Therefore, on every non.paying subscriber, we lose 87 cents. The ques. lion is now, whether it is belter to send the paper and lose 87 cents," or to retain the paper and save a like amn ? Upon duo consideration wo have con* eluded to save the 87 cents. Within ll;o last six months, the publishers have paid u dyht of more limn $4OO, which was not in contemplation when the paper was estnhlhUcd. To do thK has required great effort find our subscri. hers piid promptly lor their paper, this sum would have been paid uilhnqt much effort Though cs* tttbli>hcd ou a firm bisis, the paper labors under em bankments which the pay-down system will proba. bly remove. We do not expect to retain all oar old subscribers, thil the paper bus many warm coun*. ty, who will be active in replacing all those who may fa!) off, lo the beginning it will he difficult to remember that no paper wilf be sent after the lime for which it bus been paid has expired. When a subscriber fails to receive his paper, he may inter that his subscription has expired. If he jwlshen lo continue if, let him remit the money lo our address. Those who urb in arrears will nmeh oblige us by sending us Hie amount at the earliest opportunity. It is desirable that all sub-mriptimis to this paper should expire on the Ut of January of each year. Thus %very man will have a set lime to pay tor his paper. The approaching Court weeks will afford an excellent opportunity to settle up old dues and subscribe for another year. We urge upon our friends the necessity of assisting us by their active co-operation. Our IUI should not be suffered lo lull off. An exciting Presidential Campaign is at bund, and through the agency of-the prtta alone, cun the cause of Freedom he pleaded before the people. As lo the stand which the Agitator has taken in the battle Ibr Liberty and Good Order, its present and piM boar witness, lu fulufo course may be calcu lated by its past.
