lition feeling had become SO inert that at the com
mencement of that session all parties considered it
perfectly harmless. AS an evidence of this, it is
only necessary to recur to the movements of the
AntiSlavery Societies in the early part Of the win
ter. The subjoined paragraphs from Boston paper,
transferred to our columns in January last, will
show what feeble and sickly demonstration was
made at that time by the Anti-Slavery men of
Massachusetts,, as compared with their more re-
cent efforts:

! Since the date of the above extracts the dormant
anti-slavery sentiment has not only been reawaken-
ed but Refrigerated and rendered violent and
mischievous. The question may therefore be Sc
riously repeated, what has the country gained by
the agitation? This paper had no agency in pro-
ducing this agitation; on the contrary, it did all in
its power to prevent it, and if its advice suggested
at the beginning, and that of some of the leading
statesmen, had been needed, the country would

The Electric Chains were first introduced in rance

by the first medical men in Paris they found to
possess strange and marvellous power in relieving pain
wherever applied, and by their influence were introduce
