Where this Plaster is Applied,
PAIN CANNOT EXIST.
A gentleman in the South Of Europe and
PaIesf inc, in 1880, heard so mncll said In The
latter place in favor of JEW DAVID'S PLAS-
TER, and of The (as he consdcredl miraculous
cures he had performed, that he was induced
to try il on his own person, for Lung aud
Liver Affection the reninval of which had been
the chief object of his journey, bnt which had
resisted the genial and delicious cline.
He accordingly applied plaser on The right
OF his chest where The 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 lea of lnxative qualities. He soon
found his health improving. and in Il lew weeks
! his cough left him; the sallowness Of his skin
disappeared. his pain was removed. and his
health became permanently reiterated.
The following IS from Mr.. Worstel, editor
Of the Massl;on Gazetle, Ohio.

ty well known yesterday morning, before the
House came together, that Wilmot, Preston
King and Charles Durkee, would cast their
votes for him, not even the Northern demo-
orats knew or suspected that he had made
pledge which was dishonorable to himself
and his party; and l am certain that il il had
been known to them they would not have
given him their support. This is no more
than Justice 10 the Northern democrats, which
the whig party frankly comedies. The
Southern democrats of course would not have
voted for him il they had suspected such a
bargain. No man was ever more effeciually
and suddenly killed off, politically speaking,
by the proof Of corruption, which he was cSln-
PEELED TO furnish himself, than Mr.. Brown of
Indiana, was yesterday. Without any party
bias either way, consider the expose most
fortunate occurrence for the country. Had
he gone into the chair, and constructed the
three committees named in the correspon.
dence, as he promised 10 construct them,
there would have been such turmoil as we
have seldom seen in Congress, which would
have ended in his expulsion from the chair,
if not the House. Although the parties are
| closely balanced, there would be an over
whelming majority in favor of rebuking such
bare-faced corruption.

CONGRESS-,

We regret to state that the House of
Representatives at Washington is not yet
organized, and is to all appearances, as far
from it as on the first day of the session.
Members are, however, getting tired of this
state of affairs, and propositions are con-
stantly made to bring about a compromise.
That which meets with most favor is, the
appointment of committee to select a
Speaker. Another proposition is to dimin-
ish the number necessary to a choice by
one less after every ballot. The last we
think is the best and most satisfactory me-
thod. 1t is certainly time something was
done, and we think with some member who
offered a resolution to that effect, that the
members should receive no pay until an Or
ganization was effected. We sincerely
trust that matters will be compromised in
few days, and that we shall be able to lay
the Presidents Message before our readers,
in our next paper.
