C5-Look out forrnmors of dissatisfaction and
divisions among the Wing members Of Congress.
The locofoco presses will be the sources OF these
rumors. Having been so long accustomed to yield
implicit obedience to caucus dictation, they can
not possibly conceive how the Wings can, for
moment, agree TO disagree. The following extract
from the correspondent of The Boston Atlas, is in
accordance with our private adyices from Wash
ington:
WASHINGTON, Feb A, 1871.
The Wing members Of the House OF Repre-
sentatives, ngreeably with the information ! gave
you at The beginning of the week, were in caucus
last evening. All interests ahd NIL sections OF the
country were represented, and the result wns in
all respects what was TO have been wished and
expected from the known character Of the Wings
Of the Union. Harmony prevailed in most Of The
great questions likely to agitae tho Union, and an
honest difference Of opinion seemed 20 be agreed
upon in regard 10 all the questions which were
likely TO create a difference of feeling. The dis
cussion was free and harmonious, and without
one unkind word or an indulgence in one unkind
feeling, believe. The members from the South
gave their reasons for temporary opposition TO
some of the iavorlle measures OF the great Wing
Darty, North, East and West, as, for example
the tax upon Wines md Silks, and the distribution
of the proceeds arising from the sales of the pub
lie lands. All present displayed an honest inde-
pendence and manliness of action, and all seemed
4 willing TO concede every thing but principle. On
the part of the Senate and House both, these meet
ngs will now become as frequent as once IN The
week, until the close of the session.

CURE FOR CANCER.
ST. CHARLES, Nav, IS3

Messrs. EditOrs,-A bout twenty three
years ago. was only twelve years old,
discovered a small substance about the
size of a pea, under the skin of my nose,
Immediately between my eyes, which
continued to increase, until became so
alarmed, that had it operated upon by
DR.. M'Conuor, of Kentucky, in 1921.
After the operation il increased more rap
idly, than before, and continued running
sore, and was pronounced a confirmed
cancer. DR.. Smith, of New Haven, OPP
Grated upon it in 1923, using the knife
very freely, and, laying open the lower ex-
tremity of the cartilage and bone, which
he scraped. but without any good effect,
after the wound healed, the cancer in
creased faster, ard run more than before.
1t was operated upon, twice afterwards,
always with the same result, Increasing
faster, and running more after each oper-
alton.
In the meantime, l applied every rem
edY that was recommended, until | had
almost wholly dcspaired Of ever being Gu.
red, and not only dreaded the fatal conse.
quences which it then threatened, of de-
priving me ofmy eye-sight, and ultimately
of life, but expected to carry with me
through my remaining days, howeye,
brief, a painful and disgusting sore, anG
so prominently placed, that it must be the
first object noticed by friend or stranger
approaching me. But fortunately, las
December, came TO his place. and wa
recommended by Henry L. Mills, ESQ. Il
use strong potash made of the ashes O
Red Oak Bark, boiled down to the con
r slstence of molasses, to cover the cancer
with it, and about an hour aferword
cover the plaster with tar, which must b.
removed after a few days, and if any pro
turberances remained in the wound, ap
ply more potash TO them, aud the plaste
again, until they all disappear, after whc
theal the wound with any common saIve
This did few times, and to my ineS
pressibe satisfaction, have nothing no,
remaining of my cancer, but some few
inconsiderable scars, being perfectly cur
ed, without the least indication of its eve
returning; and | think it my duty to max
> my cure known TO the public, that, happil
some sufferer like myself, may be bene
fitted by it.

OttUttH INtU 4 OFk ana Virginia.
"The Constitution of the United States has
provided FOR the surrender of fugitves from JUS
tice, as between the several States, in case of
"treason, felony, and other crimes,' but It has
not designated the specific crimes for which a
surrender is to be made, and this has led to
difficulties, as between the States. Thus, for
instance, III 1899, the Governor of Virginia
made;application to the Governor ofNew York.
tor the surreder OF three men, charged by affi-
davit as being fugitives from Justice, in feloni-
ously stealing and taking away from one Cool
ley, in Virginia, negro slave Isaac, the pro-
perty of Cooley. The application was made
under the act of Congress of Feb. II, 1893,
CHI. z, sec. l, founded on the Constitution OF
the United States, art, A, sec. 9, as being a
case of treason, felony, or other crime, within
the Constitution and the law, and certified as
the statute, directed. The Governor of New
Yorkrefused to surrender the supposed fuqi-
tives, on the ground that slavery and property
IN slaves, didinot,exist in NewsYork, and that
the offence was not crime known to the Laws
OF New York, and consequently not a crime
within the meaning of the Constitution and
statute of the United States.-The Executive
and Legislative authorities of Virginia, on the
other hand, considered the case to be within
the provision of the Constitution and the law.
and that the refusal was denial of right. It was
contended that the constitution of the United
States recognizes the lawful existence of
slaves as property, for it apportions the repre-
sentatIves among the States on the basis OF
the distinction between free persons and other
PERSONS and it proves in art. A, sec. 2, for their
surrender when escaping from one State to ano-
ther; that were regarded as property, in near

ucularly IN New York, when the Constitution
was made; and that the repeal Of those laws
and remuneration of that species of properly. IN
another State: and that the refusal to surrender
felons who steal that property in Virginia. and
flee with IT, Or without il, to New York. on The
ground that blacks are no longer regarded q

tons. have read and considered every author

in my humble view Of the question, / cannot
but be ofthe opinion that the claim of the Gov
ernor Of Virginia was well founded, and entitled
to be recognized and enforced.

THE pROcI.AMArInn

The democratic papers are most exceediuo
wroth because the Presidents Proclamation
callng an extra session of Congress, does
not state concisely the reasons why. Now
we peg leave, most respectfully, to ask two
questions ! ct these papers.--First did You
md any such fault with Mr.. Van Burens proc.
. .e4a ealing an extra session; secondly,
! !. rrssldent Harrisons Proclamation had spe.
einea the matters which are to be legislated
on a. inc called session, AM it had proved ne

not nave contented. that as the Proclamaf;on

Dor has to Gen. Harrison;-his supporting Proc

All, tear her tatter'd ensign downl
Long has it waved on high,
And many an eye has danced tosee
That banner N the sky;
Beneath it rung the battle shout,
And burst the canncn's roar:
The meteor Of the ocean air
Shall sweep the clouds no morel
Her deck--once red with heroes blood.
Where knelt the vanquished foe,
When winds were hurrying Ger the food
And waves were white below
No more shall feel the victors tread.
Or know the conquered knee;
The harpies of the shore shall pluck
The eagle ofthe sea!
Oh! better that her shattered hull
Should sink beneath the wave:
Her thunders shook the mighty deep,
And there should be her grave:
Nail to the mast her holy flag,
Set every threadbare sail,
And give her to the god ofstorms,
The lightning and the galel

The "Democrat," ofsaturday week, charg-
ed to the present Editor of the "Argus," some
remarks relative to Mr.. Webster, made IN
the paper in 1897 We gave the Democrat
a rub about this injustice; but, in opposition to
the spirit of the day, I've did it in good feel
ing, and without rejecting upon the Editor;
herein we set good example toour brother
Editors, and he. Of the Democrat, like eve
nv decent fellow would do, follows it by ac-
knowledging the injustice, and gives as his ex-
cuse, that his article was written IN hurry
and, thereby, the ARGUS and its editor were
COMPOUNDED. The apology is good one; we
say to the rest of the fraternity,i here are two
good examples set you-do you follow them.

commenting upon an article in our last. We
beg leave to inform the editor, that we will
not Intentionally misrepresent him, or any 9TH

in him, without going out Of the straight road
of truth, and fair dealing. To satisfy the Edi-
tor, we republish his article on which we com
mented; and we will show him, that, by the

PARTY TAcTIcs.--We admire the insenius
way IN which the Locofoco. press proves, that
the Inaugural ofPresident Harrison is devoid
ofmerit.
Every paper which speaks in It's praise, is
wing, and IS too much prejudced to judge inn
partially: while many ofthose which condemn
are either slightly wing, or strictly neutral
Every modest lecOfoco paper (true there are
not many of that class,) is SUDDENLY converted

"No--our danger is not from the Executive
while he acts with firmness and independence.
We have thrown sufficient guards around him
and we watch him with cautiun:-we need no
sentry cry TO warn us of danger in that quar-
ter. But there is a source of danger-it is not
however in the strength, but in the tceaknesS,
of the Executive. Let him become the pill
ant tool of Congress-the mere sanctioner OF

We charged, that he referred to the weak
ness of the officer; he now says, that he referred
to the weakness ofthe mar; to Gen. Harrison
individually.
A plain aud common rule of construction IS
that all the parts of a sentence, or paragraph
should be construed together; that where a
word which is susceptible of ttoo meanings, is
used twice in the same sentence, or paragraph
it must, in the second instance, receive tthc
same construction as in the first, unless there
is something in the contert which shows that
it is to having different meaning. Apply
these rules; he had just been speaking of the
officer, and of the ''guards'' which the constitu-
ton has thrown around him; in so doing, he
used the term Executive" as applied to the
officers, or, SYNONYMOUS with the term, officer;
he referred to the officer; and when he, a Sc.
cond time, used the same word CsExecutive")
we could find nothing in the contert, which
justified US in giving it a different meaning
