standings and agitations in regard to sla
very in the territories, and in such arqni
sitons as might be from time made by
peaceful negotiation, or by wars in which
the perversity or infatuation of our neigh*
born might impel us. The late comproin
ise in this completely negatived the Mis
souri compromise, and reinstated the
South in the position and rights her peo
pie enjoyed before the latter was accept
ed, and without prejudice to her institu
tions. .This appears to us to have been
the opinion of Mr. Douglas when he
foamed the bill, and the opinion generally
. of the Soulhren press in commenting up
on it; but a different sentiment prevailed
at Washington among a good many who
still thought that the Missouri comprom
ise was in full fmce, and that iheAVdniot
-Proviso as its chiel provision exists in the
*rNebra-ka territory, and will continue un
til abrogated by law. To meet and dis
pose of such objections in future as well
as to leave no loop-hole tor disafFeoted ag
itators to crawl into or out of, Mr. Dixon,
of moved an amendment, the
adoption of which with the bill of Mr.
Douglas, will forever settle the proviso,
and release the territory from the interfer- j
ence of other TfiarT its own occupants in
the settlement of its institutions and the
organization of its government, and will
leave the people fiee to take th< ir slaves
to it or not as they, and they alone, may
choose or determine.
We hear of opposition to those saluta
ry measures, but with the administration
unquestionably sound upon the subject,
as v\e have every reason to believe it to
be, and good sense reason and justice in
the ascendant in Congress, we cannot be<
lieve possible than it should prove formi
dable or more than may be naturally ex
pected from a faction in the last throes us j
dissolution.

NOTICE.
Mr. Editor, Sir —l notice in your’pa
f per an Advertisement headed Caution,
in which one Hiram Sellers says his wife
Elizabeth Sellers, hus left his Bed and
Board , and that he will not be hound for
her contiacts, &c. Now, Mr. Editor, the
said Hiram Setters lias published a pod-,
* live LIE, in the plainest terms, and it
can be proven by three living witnesses.
He says she left his bed and board ; I say |
it is a lie —he had no bed —and board, he
seldom furnished ; as to paying any debts
, of her contracting, he need not give him-
J self any uneasiness, no person will credit
him f<r a dime who knows him, let alone
any other person in his name. He left
her bed —and why ? because he would
not work to support her, but bought a
middling of meal from a negro, and the
negroe s master found the meat in his
use and he run away. Now he wants
.s wife to go to him, and because she de
clines living with a rogue, he wishes to
Jrighten her; but there is some pure, hon
est grit about her that will always control
The good principles ol a virtuous lady;
those principles, and an utter ahhorrance
of dishonesty will not let her go.
The only reason he could have for ad
— ■ rising her is, she declines further de
grading hersplf by following up a lazy,
roguish scamp , who will not provide (or
her. 1 consider the above due to my
much injured sister; —let him reply if he
wants to, and I will prove it for him.

Producing instant relief from she most acute

gic diseases, Rheumatism, painful and
swelled Joints, Neuralgia of tho Face,
Deafness. Blindness, St. Vitus
Dapce, Palpitations of the heart,
periodical Headache. Pains in
the Stomach. Indigestiou,
Dvspepsia, Uteriue Poins
Paralysis. etc. etc.
These chains were first introduced iti the
city of New York le-s than one year since,
and after being subjefted to thorough trials
in every hos| i(al in the city, aud applied by
Drs. Valentine Mott, Carnochan, Van Bu
ren and others, it was discovered that they
possess strange and wonde'fu! power iu the
lelief and cure of the above class of diseas
es. and their sale, and the success that has
1 attended their use is unparnlcllod.
j Previous to their introduction into this
country, they were used iu every hospital
in Europe, and are secured by patents in
France, Germany, Austria, Prussia aud
England ; ami also in the United States.
“THINK CLOSE & PONDER WELL.”
The principles upon which it is claimed
that the Chains produce their marvelous
cures are, first—that all Nervous Diseases
aro attended and produced by a deficient
supply of nervous fluid, and an agent that
lesemhles closely electricity, or electro mag
natism ; and second—that the electro mag
netic chains, by being worn over and upou
the part and organ diseased, furnish to the
exhausted nervous fluid which is required
to produce a healthy actiou through the en
tire system. No disgusting nostrum is al
lowed to he taken while using the chains,
hut a rigid observance of the general laws
of health are required. Brisk friction upon
the parr diseased adds much to the effects
of the chains, by increasing their magnetic
power.
ONE T HOUSAND DOLLARS,
will be given jo any person who will pro
duce so many well authenticated certificates
of cure, both from intelligent patients and
scientific physicians, as have been effected
ny the use of Pulvermacber’s Electric
Chains. ‘They never fail to perform w hat
they are advertised to do, and no person has
ever been dissatisfied who has given them
a trial.
IN FEMALE CASES,
more than one hundred permanent cures of
Piolapsus Uteri have been effected within
the last year by ihe use of these chains. By
applying one pod of the chain over the re
gion of the abdomen, and the other upon
the spine just above the hip, the usual sev
ere symtous incident to that disease are at
once removed-
MODE OF USE.
The chain should be moistened before
u-e with common vinegar, and then one end
of.the chain should he applied directly to
the seat of the pain or disease, and the oth
er end opposed to it*
BE NOT DECEIVED! The Electric
Ch.lins are not to cure all diseases; but for
Nervous Diseases it is claimed that NO
Medical Agent in the world has produced
so many cases in the last year as the Elec
tric I’haiti.
j INSTANT RELIEF from the most ac
ute pain, is produced at the moment of ap
plication much more effectually than cau
be produced by opium, io any of its forms.
