Mr. Seward--Will the honorable Senator from
Massachusetts, permit mo 10 suggest new State
may come in BY invitation, like that which is given
by this bill That Is the old way all States were
admitted before Michigan, and Is considered by
some the only right way. California was not in.
yited, and like Michigan came in with a State Con.
stiiution. This irrcgularity constituted the grea
difficulty in the way Of admitting California. Ore.
gon will apply next Winter IL not admitted now
II invitation be not given now, opposition will b.
made on the ground Of irrcgularity when she does
come. According 10 legislative reckoning, and t.
the record, this Is not Sunday morning. II Is moi
Sunday March 4 but Saturday March 3. II you
vote to lay on the table because il Is Sunday, th'
record will contradict you, and hereafter you will
have difficulty in explaining; but II you call this
Sunday, the admission Of Free State on the Pa

done, even on 30 sacred day.
Mr. Douglas--I had intended to press the bill Al

Here then ne see that Gen. Wilson, after having
Joined with the extreme South in opposing the bill
and after declaring that he should vote to lay thu
bill on the table, lodged the issue on that very
question. This doiging did not come from Ever

were had in four divorce cas- es. in two Of which
Bills were granted, and the others refused; eleven

COUNCIL or cENsnRs.

The election of thirteen mcn for Council is to
take place on tho last Wednesday in this month,
March 2sth. We have seen two or three tickets in
rs many different payers, two Of which we publish
ell last week. Another ticket, adopted by the Rui-
land Herald, and the Windsor Journal, is the fol-
lowing:
GILES HARRINGTON, Grand Isle COUNTY
wORTIIINGToN SMITH, Franklin Co.
GEORGE T.. MARSH, Chittenden Co.
HORACE EATON, Addison Co.
SILAS II. HODGES, Rutland Co.
HILAND HALL, Bennington Co.
DANIEL KELLOGG, Windham Co.
JULIUS CONNEllSE, Windsor Co.
WILLIAM HEBARD, Orange Co.
LUCIUS Il. PECK, Washington Co.
W. II. II. BINGHAM, Lanoille Co.
PORTUs BAXTER, Orleans Co.
EliASTuS FAIRBANKS, Caledonia Co.
There is but very little difference in the compost
ton Of these several tickets. They arc all made
up of men who have had large experienced In pub
lie Affairs, who able, honorable and high mind
Cd; men who, If no changes are needed in the
organic law Of the State, will do well in reviewing
the legislation Of the last septcnary and in making
an inqulsition as to the manner in which consttu-
tonal requirements have been met and fulhllel
1t strikes US, however, that all these tickets,
when taken as WHOLE are altogether too fossil
ferrous for the present generation. We know that
in saying this shall subject oursef TO the charge
Of radiealsm. and that the adage, "old men for
COUNSEL &C., will be paraded before our eyes,
We also know that majority of the people Of this
State, 50 far rs we can judge from the tone Of the
press and from private conversation, demand i'm
Portant changes in our organic law. That those
who have been named as candidates for ccnsors
synpatize with the popular feeling we have nc
means Of knowing, as they have neither spoken
themselves, nor, to our knowledge, authorized any
one to speak for them. Judging from their ante
celents only regard the nominations as indieat.
ing too great degree Of conservatism to suit oul
taste.
wepubish the tickets, as VIC shall all others that
come to our knowledge, that our readers may SCI
who is in the field, aud may know who is supported
by their party associates aud their party opponents
We presume that all the above tickets will be print
ed and circulated in season to reach every town.

FAT CArTLE.--Last Tuesday, We presume
to say the largest cattle train of the season left
our depot, for Cambridge. The great aiirac-
ilon seemed TO be car containing a pair OF
Oxen raised in Northern New York, but faited
in Old Deerfeld, by Mr. Josiah Fogg. They
certainly were the latest and the most perfect
cattle we ever had the pleasure Of looking at.
They obtained the first premium at our last cat
tie show in Greenfield, and Mr. Fogg was Of
iered $3.50 for them at our depot, but he refus-
ed the offer, as he put them at 5000, which he
expects TO get at Cambridge, and which we
think little enough for such cattle. Their
weight was not far from 6O00 pounds. Mr.
Fogg although farmer of but a few years, has
exhibited specimens of husbandry in the differ
ent branches, which would reflect credit on
these TO the occupation and "manor born. -

plot of sticking bar of lead down his throat,
let go his hold, and il descended iuio his siom-
ach. The physicians Of this place, not know
ing but Bates was trying to hoax them, made a
slight examination at the lime, inasmuch as he
had made but little ado about it, and at times
denied having swallowed it at all. A few days
after, the. victim having swallowed some acid
substance, the lead began 10 corrode, and he be-
came very sick. The physicians were then
called in, and il was soon found that every 9th
er attempt 10 extract The lead would be unavail-
ing. save opening the stomach. This being re-
solved upoa, some five or six physicians were
called in, when DIR. Bell Of this place, perform

Of opening the stomach and extracting ihe lead.
The bar was about eleven inches in length and
about one-half the length showed the action OF

An Ode to All Mankind
BY j. C. YOUNG NJ. D.

BY j. C. YOUNG NJ. D.
All We who suffer, ponder whilst you read
As It's your case alone, not mine plead
Ye who have felt, or feel them, know the pangs
Man doom'd has to bare, when the remorseless
fangs
Of dire disease, is fastened in his soul,
When he would seek the dagger or the bowl,
To end his misery by the potent spell
Officially poison, or the polished steel. [mOrn
Ye who have writhed and groaned from night to
Cursing the hour that ever ye were born!
Seeking your pillow thinking to find ease,
Then wildly rushing forth to court the breeze,
Hoping 'twould quench the flames that madly
burned
In every vein, as if your blood were turned
Th molten lava
To him who hath felt this
I need not speak, as he knows what it is
But such as only feel the incipient spark,
Should read this 0 'er, and every sentence mark
Upon the tablets of their memory,
AS none may tell how he'll tomorrow be
But all should know, in dark affiictiOns hour,
Where to apply to one who has the power
To ease their pain, so prompt, they'd think my
hand
Must surely grasp a Necromancer's wand,
Like some good Genii of the olden time,
Whose every act bespoke his power sublime,
Within this city-throughout all the State,
In every town and hamlet, small or great,
Some can be found who know the power WELD,
Having tried it-know twas to them a shield
Stronger than that which Achilles of yore,
Upon Scamanders banks, in battle bore
They know it saved them from the blush of shame
Preserved their health, and dearer far their name
For who'd confess the pain that spoiled his rest,
Sprang from a source impure, to say the least
Ye suffering thousands who may read this Oer,
Remember, l ALONE can you restore.
To healthand usefulness.
That you may know
have the means and power for doing so,
here will state. Let each one note what l say,
Ny motto always is-NO CURE, NO PAY.
I'm found with ease my names on every tongue,
The suff 'rers friend, and yours too,
