grounds published in those journals in May,
1854, relating to the course of Mr.. g., pend
ing the Nebraska bill, but he was willing to
surrender that opposition, the moment all Anti
Nebraskaites come together.
MIR. Banks resumed, repeating that he was
independent of the New York Press in all re-.
spects and further, in reply, insisted that he
never yielded a particle on the Nebraska bill.
He had since met the people face to face, and
at the last election they gave him seven thou
sand majority-the largest known in the po-
litieal history of Massachusetts Applause |
He had acted as he thought right regarding
the Nebraska bill, and the people had sustained
him.
Mr.. McMullen offered, as a compromise prop
%osition, which he said was the product of his
own humble imagination Laughter but he
begged gentlemen to consider that he did not,
in submitting it, design to build up for himself
the reputation of being popular at home. The
resolution was read, to the effect that, after
the organization was effected no business should
be transacted except the passage of the neces-
sary appropriation bills, the Members then to
resign and go home. A blank was left in the
resolution, to be filed with the name of some
gentlemen to act as Speaker until the aforesaid
purposes are accomplished. sew
Mr.. Dunn suggested a modification of the
resolution, providing for the repeal of SO much
of the Kansas-Nebras Act as destroys the
Missouri Compromise. Laughter.
Mr.. Houston-That is only a slight modif-
cation. Merriment.
Mr.. McAIullen could not think the gentle
man from Indiana made the suggestion in good
faith. On the adoption of his resolution all
could return to the people on that very issue.
Mr.. Grow-referring to a remark of Mr..
McMullen that he (McMullen) would take
Mr.. Richardson as a national man, on a ma
tional platform-said that only seventeen
Northern members had voted for him, with the
Southern members so he supposed these
seventeen Northern men made the National
party.
Mr.. McMulIen-How many Southern men
vote for your candidate?
Mr.. Grow-Don't know.
Mr.. Neutrality-suspicious..
Mr.. Goode-Have you seventeen from the
North who will vote for a Southern man, or
that number from the South who will vote for
n Northern man You have shown that
your nationalism consists of ~sectionaliSm.
Grow stated that m embers in opposition to
the seventeen from the North who support Mr..
Richardson represent :, 1000, 900 living north of
Mason and DiXon's line, while the seventeen
who vote with those represent only 100, 900
living south of it. Which, then, has the best
claim to nationality
Fuller-We are in the situation of a sick
man needing physic [Iaughter]. However
hauscas it may be, in an emergency no man
can refuse to, take it, but | imagine no. imam
can be so foolish as to have it forced down his
throat.
McMullen'S resolution was tabled, after
which the House voted three times for Speak
er, all of which resulted as follows
Banks, los Richardson, IS
Fuller, IS Scattering, Z
Mr.. Thorington then offered a resolution for
the election of a Speaker by plurality, pend
ing which the House adjourned.

THE ELECTRO CHEMICAL BATH
- AND
DIRECT TO-&FR0 ELECTRO MAGNETIC MACHINE

w."
NJ HARRis, ELECTRICIAN, Of Towanda, respect
.. fully informs the public that he has lately procured
from New York the celebrated ElectroChemica Bath,
which has proven to be one of the most important and
wonderful discoveries Of the age, from It's ability to ex-
tract minerals from the human system.
Some eight years ago, a physician of Cincinnati disco
yered the process Of extracting minerals from the body,
by galvanism more recently, N. Verges, of New York,
an electro-gildcr, having suffered from the introduction of
poisonous minerals into his system in the prosecution of
his art, conceived the idea Of removing them by the same
processes. he succeeded in doing so, and quickly recovered.
He then applied the same means to others similarly af-
sanguine expectations, for not only did these Baths re-
move mineral pOisons, but cured many diseases, some of
which were the result of minerals, and some were not.
More recent experiments have fully confirmed the singu-
lar power of this Bath TO draw from the system all mine
rails that may be lodged therein, to the great detriment of
health. Very often persons are afflicted by diseases which
are beyond the comprehension of the most skillful plIysi-
clans, and which are the effect OF poisonous minerals &C
cumulating in the system for years, taken in the shape of
c1lomel, lead, DC.
The following are some of the diseases toured by these
baths rheumatism, Paralysis, Palsy, Painters Cholic,
Chronic Ulcers, Glandular Swellngs, Scrofula, Cancer,
Neuralia in all its forms, Salt Rheum and Humors Of all
kinds. ..
He has also S. b. Smiths newly invented DIREC n
TO-AND-FRO ELECTRO MAGNETIC MACHINE, which
is a great improvement on the Magnetic machines hereto
fore in use. With the aid of the Bath and Machine, we
have at command all the available medical efficiency OF
Electricity. The medical power of the Machine is very
great. in introducing medicines into the system through
the pores of the skin-applying it directly to the part. af-
fected, which gives an increase of medicinal power over
that OF taking il into the stomach, rendering it particular
ly enicaciOus in all local diseases.
now prepared to apply these Baths, and also the Ma
chimes, at my house in the south part of the borough Of
Towanda, or | will visit patients at a distance, who are
unable by reason of disease to come to this place, at mod
crate prices.
! am also sole agent for Bradford county, Tor the above
Machines. HARRIS.
