The Use of the Bath.


There is no subject within the
range Of the physicians observation
upon which the people require in-
struction more than the use of the
bath. Since the community have
been deluged with the watery food
of specious water-cure literature, by
the horde of half-educated men and
women who retail the precious com
modify, we have observed a steady
increase of sudden deaths from con.
gestlve complaints of the lungs and
bowels, and more especially oi
young and middle aged people. A
recent melancholy instance occur,
ing i'm a lady-a connection Of ou
own family-has brought the mat
ter more seriously before us, ano
satisfied us of the necessity Of some
very positive and plain directions tc
oppose to the extravaganza Of then
present notions of the use of thi:
most powerful and health destroy
ing agent. Our readers must ex
cuse us for the abruptness, but We
assure them we cannot attach tho
least value to the absurd notions SO
commonly ascertained on this sub.
ject by nearly the entire commune
ty; the whole affair is a matter OF
chemistry and chemical physiology.
lt is by no means a subject Of doubt;
and no one but the well-read phys
iologist and good observer has any
right TO an opinion others should
submit to be taught. To begiu as
the beginning, then the tempera-
ture of the blood is from 81 degrees
to 90 degrees this is the average
temperature when at rest, that is,
unexcited by exercise, &c. How
cold you are how warm you feel
These expressions are familiar TO
all there are none unacquainted
with some young lady who looks
always half frozen and most Of us
know others who always look as
though they were suffering from
heat, and their vessels overloaded
with blood. These two condition,
denote widely different powers oil
producing heat ; and the reader may
rely upon it, the use OF the bath is
attended with great danger to the
former; it should demand the most
earnest consideration and watchlul
supervision by every parent. Since
the introduction Of the Croton water
into this city, such ample facilities
exist for gratifying this insanity
that people begin to suspect the
danger and to demand information

The Early Purpose to Seize
Kansas for Slavery.

Rev. George w. Robbins, a yeter-
an missionary Of the Methodist Epis-
copal church among the western
Indians, now residing at Alton H.,
has written an instructive letter upon
Kansas affairs. lie was for several
years missionary among the Indi-
ans in Kansas and is personally IA
millar with the facts he relates. lie
dates back the purpose OF Alcbison
and the semi-barbarians whom he
governs to make Kansas slave
state, at least fifteen years, II is the
custom at Washington to consult in
respect TO tho appointment OF govern
ment agents those members OF Con-
gress who reside near their location.
Hence Alchison has virtually had the
appointment Of the Indian agents of
Kansas and Nebraska for years, and
has taken good care tha, none but
the most rabld Of his followers have
received appointments. The Indian
agents have thus not only been pro-
slavery, but have taken their slaves

iull reason to expect that violence
will continue so long as this apple oi
dlscord is continued in Kansas, and
that any question involving it subject
ed TO their solution will suffer vio-
lence, and the violent will take it by
force. II this matter is not settled
by Congress by the admission Of Kan
sas as a Free-State, or the resiora-
ton OF the Missouri Compromise line
or some equivalent provision, then
this experiment must proceed until
the people will elect a President Who
will stop the execution Of laws which
usnrpailon has produced, and which
the House Of Representatives, in the
exercise Of a legitimate power and

the Methodist missionarys located
among the Indians, because they were
opposed 10 slavery. Rev. Messrs.
Gurley, Still and Markham were
among those expelled from the Ter
rllory by the Indian agents. Mr..
Robbins was seized by Col. Lea, In
dian agent, and expelled from his
mission and from the territory in
1851, because he belonged to the
northern branch Of the Methodist
church. Mr.. Robbins laid his case
before the president and was permit
ted to return TO the territory, but af-
terwards suffered every indignity and
petty prosecution from the agents Of
the government on account Of his
anli-slavery views. At that time,
Major Mosley, agent for the Wyan-
dote Indians, said We intend TO
have this country for slavery, peace
fully If we can, but if not peacefully
we intend to have it any way" ex-
hlbiting a pistol as he closed the sen =
tence. While the U. s. commission
ers were treating with the Wyan-
dotte Indians, they said to the lnd-
ans, " You are to keep still on the
subject Of slavery, but you may be
sure this country will be slave terrific
ry'
In the light. Of these facts how
doubly false is the charge that the
emigrant aid society is responsible
for the difficulties in Kansas. The
purpose to destroy the compact OF
freedom and force slavery upon Kan
sas is a dozen years older than that
society. The repeal OF the Missouri
compromise only gave larger liber
ty to do what would have been at
tempted had il not been disturbed
The party intended, aided as they
expected to be 10y other southerners
to fight Kansas into a slave state
though it might cost a dissolution o
the Union.-SPriHgfeH Repu6.

In the debate on the compromise
measures Of 1850, in the u. S. SEN
ate, Mr.. Walker, Democratic Sena-
tor from Wisconsin, paid the follow
ing eloquent tribute TO Fremont:
What would the Senator (Mr.
Downs) have Would he have the
elastic, bounding activity Of the North
to await the slow and sluggish move
menls of the slave-labor machinery Of
the South, in settling the territories
Does he expect this &? II so-mark
my words he will expect in vain,
until the last clod has fallen upon the
last coffin of the last slave whose
servile foot imprlnts the southern soil.
1t will not wait. You cannot chain
the aceiUe energies Of The North
! You COULD NOT CHAIN THAT OF A
FREMONT.
He did not wait to provide transpor-
iation for slaves but calling about
him his hardy countryman, he braved
the perils of want and hunger, thlrs
and mountain SHOWS; nor was he
appalled, when death itself strewec
victims on his path. His noble forti,
tude and energy have been, as they
deserved, rewarded by an active,
enlerprlsing people. Though of the
sunny South, he possessed the USEFUL
DARINs AND cHAINLEss SOUL OF THE
NORTH. He broke the coils that
bound him to the corpse of slavery"
