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. -■ j == SBeani’ Boat Destroyed.—We u ruler-* Jp£an<Pthat on Sunday last the Steamer fcagle, belonging to H- J.

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.

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.
