Where this Plaster is Applied,
PAIN CNNOT EXIST. -
A gentleman in The South Of Europe and
Pales' inc, in 1880, heard so much said in The
la,ter.place in favor Of JEW DAVID'S PLAS-
TER, and of the (as he considered) nraculons
cures he had performed, that he was induced
to try il on his own person, for Long and
Liver Affection, the removal of which had been
the chief object of his journey, but which had
resisted the genial and delicious cline. ~
He accordingly applied plaster on the right
of his ches, where ihe pain was seated, another
between the shoulders, and one oyer the region
of the liver. In the mean time he drank freely
of an herb tea of laxative qualities. He soon
found his health improving, and in lew weeks
his cough left him; the sallowness OF his skin
Disappeared, hia pain was removed, and his
health became permanently reiterated.
Tie following is from MIR. Worstel, editor
Of the Massillion Gazette, Ohio.

deed, they can be used by all persons with the
most perfect safety. It would be well for those
who are much affected in the vervous system,

Count de Werdinsky has communicated
to the Mining Journal discovery which he
believes he has made, by which conve-
nlent, inexpensive, and highly effective mo-
tive power can be obtained from xlyodine,
or gun-cotton. He crowns this discovery
by another, which he declares he made in
the course of experiments for rendering the
first misunderstanding less than mirac-
ulous principle by which rapid locomotion
is obtained without any sort of propulsion.
This is his account. :" have been enga-
ged in constructing an engine and locomo-
tive, to be worked on the common roads by
xyloidine, on the following plan. Small
quantities of xyloidine, are exploded sue
cesslvely into copper recipient of sphe-
roldal form of l3 inches diameter, and Ia
inch strong in metal. Each separate ex-
plosion is adequate to produce, by means OF
double cylinders, complete revolution OF
the crank. The object of the copper recip-
lent is merely to allow the intense gases
thrown into it room enough to expand, and
thus to change their persuasive intensity in
TO more gentle dynamic power, without
in any way losing any of the quantity OF
that power ! can, therefore, let out from
that copper recipient as much of the gases,

The time is not distant when the public
attention must be drawn to the planning of
forest trees in this country Timber is
growing scarce, while the arts and manu-
features, which have taken such deep root
among US, are calling for more enlarged
supply. Timber has now to be brought
from afar, at annually increasing expense
while large tracts of land are approaching
a state of barrenness, by. being laid bare to
the searching influence of the sun and wind.
We have destroyed our forests with reck-
lesness, and posterity must feel the conse-
quences Indeed, our bleak pastures and
bare hills begin to reproach us for not max
ing some effort to shelter the one and clothe
the other. A rotation of crops is as needful
for forest trees as for the more humble az
ricultural productions. Where are the for
ests of Lebanon, into which Solomon sent

Political.
COL. BENTON's SPEECH.

Col. Benton commences his speech to his
constituents, the People of Missouri, by ac-
knowledging the receipt of certain resolu-
tions passed by the Legislature of Missouri,
denying the right of Congress to egisate
upon the subject of slavery in territories
asserting the right of citizens of every State
to remove to the territories, acquired by the
blood aud treasure of the whole Union, with
their property-declaring it to be an insult
to the States to exclude any of their citizens
from SO removing and settling with their
property-alleging such insult to be the
cause OF alienation among the States, and
ultimately OF dlsunion; and insiructing the
Senators Of the State, and requesting the
Representatives, to vote in conformity to the
resolves SO adopted These resolutions, he
says, are merely copy of resolutions offer
ed in the United States Senate, February
10, lS47, by Mr. Calhoun-the only differ
ence between them being, that MIR. Cal
houn's tend directly" and the Missouri
resolutions tend ultimately" to dssolu-
ton of the Union and even this difference
is not material as the Missouri resolutions
pledge the State to Cooperate with other
sayehoding States. He therefore speaks
to Mr.. Calhoun's resolutions first.
In 1920, he says, Mr. Calhoun being a
member Of President Monroe's Cabinet,
was required to give his opinion in writing
on the question of the power of Congress to
prohibit slavery in territories, and on the
coLstltutlonality of the 9Th section of the
act for the admission of Missouri into the
Union, and which section applied the anti
slavery clause OF the Ordinance of 1887. 10
more than half of the whole Territory OF
Louisiana. Mr. Calhoun then gave his
written opinion in favor Of the constitutions
atty of the act; and no whisper was ever
heard from HIM to the contrary, until the
introduction of his hre-brand resolutions
twenty-seven years after. These resolu.
tons, Mr.. Benton says, were introduced by
Mr.. Calhoun, to make test for himself al
the Presidential election which no Northern
man could stand. Before the debate came
on, however, the proofs of the opinion which
Mr.. Calhoun gave in 1920, were brought
forward to his utter confusion and the ell
tire prostration of his resolutions. These
proofs consisted of the original interroga
ton propounded to his Cabinet by Mr.. Mon
roe, in his own hand writing, and the draf
OF letter from him to a friend. stating tina
these questions were answered affirmatiyel,
by every member Of the Cabinet,-Mr. Cal
houn of course included. In addition &c
these records is passage from Diary o
J. q. Adams, stating the same facts con
corning the action of the members of Mr.
Monroe's Cabinet. These testimonies Mr.
Benton insists are overwhelming. Mr.. Cal
houn attempts to escape it by saying tina
Missouri, at the preceding cesslon, had pre-
sented herself for admission as a member q
the Union. She had formed constitution
