He’betetigs to a species familiar to all residents’ in the West. -They are found in every bar-wort, and tuim op inevitably at political meetings or the'County Court They are usually small lawyers, of Democratic profession and vile habhe; affecting vulgarity of dresS, manners and association, in order' to rid themselves of any suspicions of nristocralc pretension, against which the ■ unhewn and unkempt sons of the prairie have an impla cable prejudice. They may be seen loitering from their log office* to the blacksmith shop, or the ’squire's, or the tavern, stock ingles?, shoes down at the heel, coatless, a huge quia of tobacco in the cheek, or a cigar flaming from one corner of the mouth. They may be heard swaggering-end blustering wherever a laxy village audience can be gathered to gether, unsparing in profanity, and as ready with a blow or a bowie-knife as with the tongue. Their practice is more extensive at the bar-room and the barrel than as barrsters. They lake the only daily paper received in the town and are always on hand to read it when the mail arrives, to an admiring audi ence, who accept the text and running com mentary of ihe village politician with equal docility. They can talk, and are therefore delegates to all sorts of conventions; they can qurrel, and are therefore, the men to “stump” a District or the Stale, as disputants, Wes tern-wise, where opposing candidates hunt for votes in couples. The only capital needed for entire success in the trade ia impudence, voludility, black guardism, profanity, drunkenness, ferocity the reverse of any picture represenlive of a gentleman ; and ao qualified, Ihe fornlier lawyer and politician is a rising man. “And such a man is (his Atchison—a poor specimen of the class, however, because wholly vid of that talent which is not one of ns rarest characteristics. We can recall no reccord of any public man so destitute of merit as his. Noisy and brawling in the lobby, he has been noteless for anything vise or well-said in the Senate Chandar. The Congressional Globe would have helped his fame by leaving blanks after each recur rence of his name. His presence indeed is a perpetual tribute to the long suffering of (he Senate. It has experience of small men. Pettit, of Indiana, has been there, small in name ahd kind; Norris, of New Hampshire was there.—Men have been there, like Jern egin, of Tennessee, whose luckless vote on the Tariff killed him and it—whose good name has been sold for nothing-; blockheads ami dulties have been there, like Borland — a human extract of both; Bond mean men have been there, like that Pennsylvania statesman whose devotion to railroad spec ulation contribute to the loss of Kansas aod Nebraska to freedom. But ihe history of the Senate records no instance where it has en joyd the society and sweet counsel of a mem ber so throughly accomplished in little, mean stupid, ruffianly attributes as this frontier pettifogger.” “You are a Liar.” These words were yestetday applied by the hoary headed Senator Butler to a brother Senator (Mr. Wilson, of Massachusetts,) who in the course of debate denounced the assault on Senator Sumner as “ brutal, murderous, and cowardly." Alas I for the manners as well as the morals of the Senate Chamber. The common courtesies of parliament ere no longer observed ; nay, even the common de cencies of civilized society are outraged.— Where will this looseness of tongue end, but in the downfall of the Republic itself 7 The Congress of the United States is no longer an “ honorable body’’ of high toned(l high mannered, high minded gentlemen. It is composed largely of political gamblers 1 , row dies and ruffians; the spawn of low bar rooms and groceries, whose only ambition arises from ihai love of power which enables its possessor to plunder the public treasury. These men who have risen to the surface, by the agitation of the dirty pools of parti san siftfe, are no representatives of the res pectable people of the United Stales. It has become notorious that the noisiest, vainest, most empty-headed and unscrupulous dema gogues, fight their way into Congress,' and when once there, what can we expect of them but a struggle for self-aggrandizement and personal advancement. They go there reek ing with the slime from-which they have crawled; and corruption is their natural ele meflt. They sell their voles for money and for office ; and play the part of traitors to the Republic, by advocating measures which sooner or later must disrupt the Union. A low, vulgar, dram-drinking, gambling, ruffianly, brutal net of political gamblers are trifling with the. lives, the liberties-and the fata of thirty millions of freemen. And it requires no prophet to predict the swift des truction (hat is coming upon this people.— The dignity of the law-giver, the refinement of the scholar and the grace of the gentle* map are no longer to be found jq our highest halls of legists; ion; but in their placet.the most yulgar blackguardism, the raoatruffiap. ly manners, and the mqsi brutal, violpnce.-r- And it is this that makes our Republicanism a hissing and a bye whrd among the nations. r-lf.

Everything is predicated on pay. We approach this subject with great diffidence— not because of its magnitude, but lest we tail to do it distinguished justice. The circus has come and gone, but, unfortunately it did not carry away its nlagne-spot. There is a stain on the skirts of this community that a lung moral rain will opt wash out. We predicted this two weeks ago. Being little in the street, we saw but little of the much that was disgusting; but that little, more than efer confirmed ns in the belief that circuses damage the morals more than the pockets of a community. We observed a number of re markably smart young men, grown up, though, who were, as one of them facetiously declared— utol.(hle)bal well (hie) ‘yorked!' " Nice shindies these young men cut up—staggering up the side walk, reeling out of groceries, rolling in the dusty street; and one remarkably cute boy, about sis feet tall, conceived the brilliant idea that be could go the summerset equal to the circus chaps. Three several limes did this youtblul Hercules essay the difficult feat; and as often did mnther earth receive him in a sitting posture, not gently, but with a jaj like a young earthquake. Each time be arose con. fident that ho had revolved upon his axis in tho ap. proved circus fashion—quite as confident that be had, as some politicians we wot of are that they have net sommersetted. Another young man bore a suspicious jug, from which the crowd derived aid and comfort and inspiration. Another stood like a spread Eagle, with his rheumy eyes fixed on vaean. cy, blessedly oblivious to the infernal hubbub that raged around him. But W nere was tne majesty oi sue law ■ is it not a penal offence to be drunk in the streets 1 Is it not a penal offence to sell liquor without license 1 Yet both these offences were committed on Monday in this borough. Boys who should have been attached to tbs maternal apron strings, were reeking with whiskey and profanity in unmentionable places, and babbling maudlin inanities. We saw none of onr town boys mixed up in the - brawls—none with whose faces we are iamlUsr, at least. They were made up of strange boye to whom we say in all kindness, —Stay at home until you discover that rowdyism and manliness areincompatibls; and that 1 respectability never yet followed in the wake of a low ambition.

After he concluded, the Committee on Reso lutions, through its Chairman, M. H.

Absolved, that in the rocont outrages in Kansas to wit: the butchery of men for opinions sake, the destruction of the right of suffrage and of the freedom of the press, and in tho attempt to intimidate men from expressing their sentiments in regard to great public wrongs in the National Legislature, by murderous assaults and ruffianly threats of added ven geance, we recognize tho principles cf the administration party practically carried out; and that we accept the obvious Intcrprolation-- u Everything for Slavery—Nothing for Free dom.'* Absolved, that we lovo onr union well, but that we lore our liberties better; and when the union must be maintained at the sacrifice of the right of Freo Speech, the right of life, liberty and the penult of happiness and the right to boar arms onmoleated by any person, then are we paying too dear ly Hot tho Union, which from a blessing will have degenera ted into a cone.

Thatcher was called to the chair, and made an exceedingly eloquent and appropriate speech, showing by his flashing eye and flushed cheek chat his whole soul was wrapped up in that one issue Freedom or Slavery. Mr. Gale, a Student from Mass., next oc cupied lha floor, and in his eulogy of Mr. Sumner he said, "any man acquainted with Charles Sumner knows that be is the very soul of urbanity and courtesy, a perfect gen tleman in every place, and the wretch that would strike down that worthy man in a de fenseless state, would have platted a crown of thorns for bis Savior’s head.” Old Union is now fairly aroused. Her sons are soon to go forth into the world, and take an active part in the affairs of the na tion, as have others before them. She may pattern after Yale, give Sharpe’s rifles to the cause of freedom, but one thing is certain; she will this year, turn out men, who know there t« a South —who know there is a West; and who will let the South and Weit know there is a North, and that they are not afraid to advocate its rights and ex press their sentiments of its wrongs. They have already begun this by passing the fol lowing resolutions, and by sending them to various papers for publication. Tioga Co., although but poorly represented here, shall (through your kindness) receive a copy. Whereas, on Tuesday the 22d of May the Hon, Charles Sumner was violently stricken down, while in the discharge of his official duties by Preston S. Brooks, a representative in Congress from South Carolina, whose de clared purpose waslo inflict punishment upon Mr. Sumner for words spoken in Senatorial debale, therefore, Resolved. That we have heard with grief and indignation of this attack 1 upon a North ern Senator distinguished no less ftr his ac. complishmen|s os a scholar, than his pre-emi nence as an orator. And that we regard it as an effort to strike dowrf freedom of speech, as well as an unprovoked and cowardly as sault. Resolved. That as freemen we look upon this unprecedenied outrage with horror, re garding ii as a base attempt to terrify the representatives of a free people from the exer cise of their constitutional rights. Resolved, Thai ibis act is a disgrace of ibe National councils, and a slain upon American Character, —which every lover of his country must deplore, and which we trust Congress will lake immediate measures lo remove. May the citizens of Tioga show at next fall’s election, by the ballot box, as Union College has by her resolutions, that they are not nfraid to vindicate the rights of Freedom aud Humanity. C. L.

Mr. Editor-: Agreeably to a previous notice, the friends of Free Kansas met at the Briggs School House on Saturday evening May, 10th, for the purpose of permanently organizing and electing officers for Republi can club, No 1. A constitution Tor the club was read and adopted,, after which it was signed by every person present; the follow, ing persons were elected as officers for the coming campaign. D. G. Stevins President; Calvin Hammond Vice President; J. B. Potter Treasurer, and J. B. Niles Secretary. The club as yet has no fixed place of holding meetings, its members believing it will better accomodate all to hold its meetings in differ ent parts of the township. After the election of officers, J. B.

On motion, adjournment to meet at Keeney ville on Saturday evening, June 7th. D. G. STEVENS, Pres. J. B. NILES, See’y. We nominate Tom Hyer for Congress.— We are ambitious that the Fourth District of New York should be represented more res pectably than the Fourth District of South Carolina; It is not to be endured that such an artist as Preston S. Brooks, should be (he champion of the Congressional ring. True he “ (ravels on his muscle” splendidly. He is a regular bruiser. But he lacks chivalry, Ha takes advantage. When he “ sails in” he does it like a coward. He is worse than Yankee Sullivan. “Yankee,” ungentleman iy|as he was, never “sailed in” unless.the man was on bis feet and bad some notice.— The late lamentable William Poole wduld have treated Preston S: Brooks as atrieklsh, dastardly, despicable bully-—a disgrace to the noble arl'of self-defence;” ' Brooks must be made to respect the laws "ofThe ring; and Mr. Hyer is just the man to accomplish this. He has a'spirit that risesin indignation against the lurking brutality he sees at Washington. He considers it pure scoundrelisM.

The following from a leading New York journal will be interesting to constum,. lives: Treatment cf Consumption. The Medi. cal Specialist calls attention to the decrease in the mortality from consumption during the last six months compared with (he correapoo. ding period in previous years, and ascribes the change to the improved treatment by in. halation. The diminution in the mortality from consumption during the last three monthes of the year 1855, was 25 per cent less than during the last quarter of 1853 and 1854; and during the quarter just ended, the diminution in the number of deathea from consumption exceeded by thirty-one per cent, the mortality of the same months in 1855* The Specialist remarks: This general resort to inhalation could not be unproductive of results, if our treat meat has been unsuccessful, it must have increased the mortality, if successful, it could not but diminish it in proportion to that success. None who are at all acquainted with the magnitude of our practice will deny that it has been, during the past two years, auf. cient to exeil the moat decided influence on tho bills of mortality, not only of this city, but also of the cities of Philadelphia, Balti. more and Boston. That influence has been exerted in tbe marked decrease in the num ber of deaths, as an inference from the facts, not only legitimate, but, we think, unavoid able ; and we claim it not on any personal grounds, but as the natural result of adopting a mojre direct, simple, and common-sense treatment. More than a year ago we staled in one of our published letters, that, "if every case of consumption in this city were placed under judicious treatment by inhalation , within two years the mortality from this die • ease would be diminished one half." This prediction is now coming to pass,—(Journal of Commerce, April 10. - The Envelope Business. —Few perns are aware of the various results which bars been consequent upon the introduction into extensive use of letter envelopes. Tons o( papef aqd barrels of mucilage are used every month in tbs manufacture of the different kinds of'envelopea. In New York four firms are extensively engaged in the business, and many others do something at it in a small way. The number of envelopes lurned out weekly is not far from four millions. The gum used is a preparation of starch called dextrine, the value of which for sealing and stiffening purposes was accidentally discov ered in England some years since. Ourtng the conflagration of a large flour warehouse a collon-spinner worked at carrying water and rolling out the partially charred flour. In the morning he found his clothes irreme diably stiffened and glued together, do in vestigation he ascertained that ihe seorcned flour would form, with water, a tgtuiinr.ua matter much more adhesive than any Known gum. Subsequent experiments revealed iho fact that this preparation wgg better than gum arabic for stiffening cotton goods, and ihr discoverer kept hjs secret and made money out of the manufacture of "British gum” for cotton dressers. But his success was nis ruin ; he became profligate, his secret was dis covered, and dextrine came into nonce, .t is now used for all purposes where a cneap mucilage is required. For dressing cotton goods, for preparing the backs of postage stamps, the edges of envelopes, manufactu rer’s labels &c., it is found to be unrivalled.
