ANlSS PAIN klLLEK.-A letter from
~ Rev. Charles Hibbard, Missionary in
Burmah, TO his father, Joseph Robinson ESQ.
of this City, has been handed to us for publica.
ton, from which we make the following cS.
tracts.-PrOridence Journal
NEWTON, Maulmain, June 6, 1855.
Twill you kindly say to Mr.. Davis that Mrs
Hubbard and myself and indet / might add,
all wi O came out with us, feel very grateful
for the box of Pain Killer which he gave us,
when we left our native land for Bu:mah. |
have used it for Coughs, Colds, violent internal
Pains, Summer Complaints, Burns, Bruises,
and for the Sting of Scorpions-and with uni
form success. The only severe spasm Of the
stomach which Mrs. Hubbard has had in Bur.
NAH, was instantly relieved by the Pain Killer.
We always keep it where we can put our
hands on it in the dark. if need be-
Although | took Mr.. Nisbet's box in add
tiun to my own, when he returned to America,
still tits all gone but three four bottles, and
that would have been gone long ago, had |
not refused 10 part with il.
The Karens, also, are beginning to learn its
value, and call for its use, but have TO deny
them except in doses, for could not think
of being without it. With the Pain Killer, !
feel myself well armed against discase-thut
is, in ali ordinary cases. 1t is indispensable
and seldom NEEDLE with any other medicine.

tributes as these TO come forward and assist to
swell our numbers.
Where indeed are the independent Wings
like Mr.. Benjamin to go? They refuse TO con-
taminate themselves with the odors of Black
Republicanism or with the cheatery of Know
nothingism. There is indeed but one refuge
left to them, and that is in the Democratic
party; aud it would be monstrous if they were
not welcomed by that party with shouts of de-
light from one end of the Union to the other.
We tender TO Mr.. Benjamin our thanks, not
only for his able speech, but for his eloquent
avowal of cooperation with the Democracy.
We greet him as an ally-a trusted, faithful
ally, and we need not pledge to him the conf
dence and the support of that organization to
which he has in turn pledged his own exer-
tons
Mr.. Benjamin's rencontre with Mr.. Seward,
which We have not time to notice at length in
this number of our paper, impromptu as il
was, was happy closing to this remarkable
speech. We allude to the attempt of Mr.. Sew
ard to read an alleged opinion of Judge Story,
delivered in the Circuit Court in 1922, in sup
port of his (Mr. Sewards) argument against
Mr.. Benjamin's position. Mr.. Benjamin show
ed that it was not an opinion of the Supreme
Court-that it had never been delivered in the
Supreme Court; and further, that Mr.. Seward
did not read from book of law, but from the
life of Judge Story, by his son, the biographeI
asserting that the opinion quoted by Mr.. Sew
ard was not law, but that he hoped it would
soon become the law of the land. Never be
fore was the arch-intriguer and demagogue Of
New York SO utterly Frustrated Hesat in his
seat abashed and overwhelmed; the crowded
auditory witnessed his exposure, and many
who came there for the purpose OF seeing hin
triumphantly reply to Mr.. Benjamin, were
compelled to bear testimony to his disgracefu
defeat. Mr.. Hale happily came to his rescue
turned the current Of the debate, and Mr. Sew
ard was glad to escape the responsibility o
making a reply, which would only have been ;
| new disaster to him.
We shall publish Mr.. Benjamin's speech ii
our next issue.

Of responsibility for the existing state o. affairs
lies at its door. Fl
The indulgence by our respectable contemT
porary of its bad habit of opposing the Demo

astrous course.

re-organizing the Wing party.
Go on, the prospect is encouraging. When

ready the Crimean familiarity with Russian
customs has exploded the long. cherished ideas
OF Mr.. Mink, that in Russian winters, when two
sleep together, they lie head and tail as bottles
are packed, and put their toes in each Others
mouth to keep them from freezing Thus the
toes are also handy to rub their noses occa-
sionally to keep away the frost; and in the
morning they are useful to scratch the "sIeep.
ers" from each others eyes. Mr.. Mink still
says so, but this is only obstinacy-such as
that which says that the talloweaters were not
whipped by the frog fanciers Boston Post.

TRIBUTE TO PRINTERS. The chaplain OF
the New Hampshire Penitentary, in reviewing
the events Of his life since his connection with
that institution, pays the following compliment
to journeymen printers:
have the happiness to number among my
friends many printers, but, though it may seem
to imply either want of ability on the part of
the minister, or the want of the qualities that
are necessary in order to appreciate good
preaching on the other part, yet / will reveal
the fact that have never succeeded we'll with
that class. For the nine long years, and with
all the inducements offered, not one of that
trade has connected himself with my congre-
CATION; and / do not think man could be
found, of all who ever tenanted our prison.
who could set up column Of type / leave
the reader to make his own comments, only re.
marking that this cannot be accidental, nor
can the explanation be that the employment
keeps them ignorant Of prevailing vices and
immoralities, nor yet that young printers are
removed from the large masses where corrup-
tons engender and spread. In all these re.
spects this class is much exposed. 1t is evi.
dent we think, that the employment has an
elevating tendency, and is favorable to intel.
lectual and moral improvement

800. Mr.. EvereH and the Mount Vernon
Estate.-Mr. Everett in a letter in which he
accepts an invitation to deliver his Washington
Address, at Springfield, Massachusetts,, says:
~ am grati6ed that you concur with me in
the wish to appropriate the proceeds in aid of
the fund for the purchase of Mount Vernon.
The recent letters of the proprietor throw some
doubt on his present willingness to sell the
estate. 1t cannot, however, be doubted, that it
will eventually become public property. In the
meantime ] do not understand that the efforts
making to raise the requisite funds will be
relaxed. The sums which have already been
received by me have been safely and advan-
tageously invested in trust, and shall make
the same disposition of what may hereafter
come into my hands, without the deduction of
a dollar for personal expenses. Shonld the
attempt to purchase Mount Vernon eventually
fail, the funds raised can be appropriated to
some other patriotic purpose of general interest
connected with the memory Of Washington
