Having never yet, in all my business transactions
instituted legal proceedings against any in this

neir resort in order to secure my just dues, the
cumulation of Cosfs-perhaps equal to the entire

Ma. SENATOR CRAwroRD.-Let no one
suppose that because the name of this in
divividual does not appear in the vote up
on the Proviso Instructions recorded in a.
mother column, he showed a disposition to
.kulk from an expression Of his opinion
upon the subject. His absence from the
Senate Chamber on that day was on ac-
count Of severe indisposition under which
he was then laboring. Mr.. Crawford has
uniformly been prompt in the discharge
Of his duties, and bold and fearless in the
expression of his opinion. He is known
to be all right upon the question involved
in those resolutions of instructions

IMPORTANT TO OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
THAT many who are afflicted with Cough, which
is gradually wearing them down-slowly, but sure.
ly. stealing them into that dreadful disease, CON-
SUMPTION disease which carries Off its hun.
dreds daily-are doing nothing; or, what is worse
gorging themselves with nostrums, that pufed to
the skies for cures which they said TO have IF.
fected on some foreign or unknown pcrsons--when
they might positively be cured by using DR.. Rogers
Compound Syrup OF Liverwort and Tar, which still
continues TO effect the most wonderful cures ever
recorded in the annals Of medicine. For proof oil
this, the reader has but to refer IN the
pesuse certificates from Judges of the Courts, Min
listers OF the Gospel, and (shat is stronger) Phys
clans OF the highest stan ling, who have prescribed
it successfully in their practice after all other means
had failed.

The next Congress will contain some
Eve Or six newspaper editors. Whether
. seat in Congress is an exaltation or an
Easement Of the editorial dignity we will
~. a this time undertake 10 determine
Certain it is, however, that, a. genersl
~nle editors take too much pains to manu-
f.cture great men without having . pro-
nor regard for themselves. To puff into
potoriety 10 warm into being menwho would
n.ver be known out Of their own neigh
borhood, appears to be the special mission
an earth Of some editors.
Now we have been to the menagerie
and we have seen the elephant. We have
LEO seen men who owed their entire pol.
;t;cal existence to the newspapers-men
who. without the same means ohold them
Nm that raised them up, would sink entire
" out Of sight-pretend most sovereign
contempt for newspapers generally. We
have one in our minds eye that we help
ed to manufacture; we found it to be a
moor lob. and we helped to tear it to pie
ces. The materials are in the rubbish
somewhere, we suppose, though we have
heard nothing Of them for long time.
But we are getting ofthe track. The
fact that some editers have been elected to
Congress is noticed with great solmnity
:. .seditors looking up" as though editors
were not fitted for such stations. Now
we look upon it that, taken as body,
there is more general intelligence, more
true business information, moregood sense,
more education and better morals amongst
editors than amongst any other class Of
men. We are not boasting; we are only
telling plain truths. Editors looking up!
What nonsense.-Mad. Cnur.

Precise ESouGH. In recent case
tried in Cincinnati, to establish the precise
time of the death Of man who, with his
wife, were blown up by steamboat ex-
plesion, an lrishman was put on the stand,
who was also blown up, but escaped.-
Said the attorney to him, "when did you
last see the gentleman alive?" "Sure,
your honor, as me and the stovepipe were
going up, we met him coming down."
