ONO LEGISLATURE. notice moth
ing of interest in the proceedings of Tus.
day last.
The elections were the result of pecu-
liar combinations. Several gentlemen
paired off and did not vote. Upon the
last ballot for Secretary of State. the vote
stood King A, Flood 40. For Treasur-
er Of State the vote stood Bliss 46, Weav-
er 3S, Blank /. For member Of the
Board of Public Works, the vote stood
Manypenuy AZ, Blickensderfer 80, Gage
6, Blanks g. At the same time an Asso'
ciate Judge, Isaac Brayton, was elected
far the county of Portage.
If we are correctly informed the
Wings voted for King for the purpose Of
defeating Flood. Bliss was originally
elected by the Wings, and owes his
present election to the same party and
the Free Sellers. Manypenny was g.
lected by the joint Aotes of Locofocos
and Free Sellers. This is all we know
about it.

INGENIOUS MECHANISM. "A gentleman

by which he hopes to accomplish perpet.
uaI motion. The editor of the Augusta
(Ga.) Chronicle recently examined it,
and gives this description:

true, but positive, tangible and real. The
power obtained is the excess of power of
longe: over shorter lever, acted upon
by the force of gravity. The wheel has
seven levers, or arms, resting nearly up.
on the outer rim, and seven others con
nected with these. Starting from the
vertical point, each of these descends by
its own gravity short space. throwing

side of the wheel, create the motion. By
nice but simple mechanical arrange
ment, these levers, as they successfully
pass the nadir or bottom part of the
wheel are folded within the arc of the
wheel, and their lever power being thus
lessened, arc easily carried to the YER
tical point, to again act as the motive

DR. MLANE, the inventor of the best remedy for

to The public thus describes the symptoms which in
dicate dsordered state of that important organ
"SymptomS Of a diseased Liuer-Pain in the right
side, under the edge Of the ribs, increased on pres
sure. Sometimes the pain is in the left side The
patient is rarely able to lie on the left side Some
times the pain is felt under the shoulder blade, and it
frequently extends to the top Of the shoulder and is
sometimes mistaken for rheumatism in the arm.--
The stomach is affected with loss of appetite and sick
ness-the bowels in general are costive, sometimes al
tentative with lax. The head is troubled with pain,
accompanied with dull, heavy sensation in the back
part. There is generally considerable loss ofmem-
orv accompanied with painful sensation Of having
left undone something which ought to have been done.
A slight dry cough is sometimes an attendant. The
patient complains Of wearness and debility-he is
easily startledhs feet are cold burning, and ne
complains of prckly sensation of the skin. His
spirits are low and although he is satisfied that eXer-
else would be beneficial to him. yet he can scarcely
summon up lortitude enough to try it, In fact, he dis
trusts every remedy"

GeN. ARMSTRONG ON DIsUNToN,-Gen.
Armstrong, late U. S. Consul to Liver
pool, to whom Gen Jackson bequeathed
the sword which he wore at the Battle OF
New Orleans, recently declaied, in con-
versing upon the proposed Southern Con-
vention, that if that body Should adopt
measures contemplating dissolution OF
the Union, he would unsheath the sword
and rally the people of Tennessee to ex-
pei it, as entertaining reasonable de-
signs. Gen. Armstrong has long occu-
pied high position in the Democratic
party of the South, and enjoyed the con-
fidence of Gen. Jackson and all his polit-
ical successors down to Mr.. Polk, who
conferred upon him the best office in his

PRIcEs oT LABoR.-Nseessity Of Pro.
tsctiOH.--Mr. Buchanan once asserted
that the necessity for Protection grew out
Of the imitation Of our currency, where
by certain articles costing fifty dollars 10
Europe were sold here at one hundred
in other words he was In favor OF tight
money market and low prices. We
have all along conlended that American
Labor is dependent upon a judiciously
arranged protective tariff. and that it
ought MOTTO come in competition with the
pauper labor of Europe. We find in
the New York Tribune, one Of the ablest
Journals in the country, most excellent
article comparing the wages Of Labor
here and else where.
The average earnings. per week, of
the workers employed in the Linen and
Cotton mills Of Ireland, England and
Scotland vary from $l:44 to $2;SS. The
wages paid by the Lowell Cotton manu-.
factories equal S4;O3 per week--believed
to be the lowest average earnings OF A.
merican Free Labor--and yet one,third
higher than the highest average paid in
the British factories.
In Metals, the contrast is still greater.
The average earnings of American Iron
makers is nearly 81 per day and was
higher under the Tariff of ls42. The
average in England does not exceed 81
cents per day; or about one-third as
much.
These facts presents food for thought
upon the part Of those men, who profess
such phiIanthropic sympathy for the poor
men of America; for at last, it is the poor
men, who are the laborers, and who are
dependent upon good prices for tho sup
port of themselves and families Any
man of good common sense can extend
the argument to the various branches ol
American Industry and see the necessity
of preventing a competition between
Free American Labor and European
Pauper Labor.
All laws that have a tendency to re-
duce prices. have tendency to depress
the relative position of the aboring clas
ses. If American Coitons or American
Irons is said to be too high, then the
wages fthose who help to produce the
one or the other are also too high, fol
the prices of these articles will be regu
lated by the cost of preparing them iol
market. If Iron is too low or wages too
high, which is the same thing, then the
manufacturing of this article must cease
and the market will be at the mercy o
English manufacturers. No one will
contend for this --none contend that tn,
rich Iron beds of America should remain
unopened and yet one of two thing
must happeu-we will either have n
Iron furnaces and mills, or American La
Dor will be graduated according to tn

The Slavery Question: Derotion 10 HE Union
Desperation of The Fanatics Speech Of Mr..
Clemens-Position Of Gen. Cas- and Henry
Clay--Humorous Aihusions--1he House
Speech Of Mr.. Winthrop.
The Slavery Question has at length reached the
point, from which extremes dverge The sent-
ment of devotion to the Union is strengthening
every hour, and is revvng in hearts from which
it had almost fuded. The other side is, also, in
the process of concentration. In the ratio IN
which awakened patriotism withdraws men from
their banner and thins their ranks, those who
have had brewery enough still to own IFS folds
aud treasonous symbols, cling around it, with in-
creased devotion,-the more sangunary and des-
perate, because Of its i'll fortunes in the contest.
Ii was the topic in the Senate, yesterday. Mr.
Clemens harrangued for the South, and depreca-
ted the effects aud value OF the Union. MIR. Clay
again opposed his breast to tho storm; and his
old voice rung out, like a clarion signal. to the
friends of the Union. Gen. Cass courageously
enlisted in the countrys line, and expanded, in
sentiment, to the love of the whole Union, as he
unfurled its flag,and gazed upon its old and added
emblems Of the glores Of free destiny, and dwelt
upon their memories. Foote and Clemens visit
ed him with rancor of rebuke, indicating that
they regarded him as desertCr; but the prom
ise is to him, who is prosecuted for Righteousness
sake.
The extent to which the subject is hackneyed,
here, was well hit of, by a gentleman, whose
business before Congress has been vexatiously
DELAYED by it. He said man could not buy a
neck of oats for his horse, Without running a.
gainst squad of a,'negrO in IL. ..
Another olass-blessed with a sort tot loafer
philosophy it the subject of merriment A
humorous fellow. accounting for the trembling OF
his hand, in tue morning said he had fallen in
with low company and bad liquor. the evening
before Two members of Congress had under
taken to convince him that negro was worth
more than the Union. Their arguments and
brandy were both poor; but the latter had the
most staggering effect, because he took most OF it.
There has been good speaking on the subject
to-day in the House. Mr. Winthrop noticed Mr.
Root, who, it will be remembered charged Mr.
Winthrop with "dodgug' the vote on laying the
Wilmot Proviso Resolutions on the table. lie
dealt out fine sarcasm upon the race OF mschiev'

"IAM TOO PooR TO GIVE UP MY PAPER
"A woman in Maine recently rene wed
her subscription In Portland paper. with
lhe remark that +" she was infinitely too
poor To do without it," There is a great
deal comprehended in this declaration.
People-even those who are in slraighten-
ed circumstances, can dispense with many
things rather than with a newspaper.
How much has even the poorest saved
by attentivoly perusing some one of the
public journals which has been his daily
or weekly viSilanl! 1t should be a uni
versally admitted fact, that uewspap per
is one Of the neceSsaries, aud not Que Of
the luxuries Of lite. Every journalist in
the country, by taxing his memory mo.
ment, could easily illustrate the truth OF
the postion-snd indeed there are very
few in any community whose experience
does not enable them to bear testimony
to it. A newspaper is mine of wealth
to millions, who, if they never saw one,
would have reason to say that they were
poor indeed
