a FTER SEVERAL YEARS LABOR AND
IA experimenting upon whales, on the whaling ground, with
ms apparatus, combined with the advantages of being a practical
whaleman, the Patentee has been enabled to obtain an instru-
ment in form of a Bomb Lance, which for utility and effective
ness cannot be eXCeled.
The attention of Agents and Officers of whale-ships is called
to the following testimonials.
SAN FRANCISCO, January 10, 1856.
CAPT. R.. BRowN-Sir: I take this opportunity to inform
you that we used those Bomb Lances we bought of you, and
found them to be of great benefit in capturing whales amongst
the ice.
The first whale that we used the Bomb Lance on was killed
In the following manner The boat went alongside of the whale
and the boat-steerer fired a Bomb into him and then fastened to
with a gig iron: the Bomb was heard to explode, and the
whale did not blow after the Bomb exploded. The above-men-
toned whale was in the ice, and it is our opinion that we should
not have got that whale and many others that we did get, if it
mad not been for your Bomb Lances, and we fully recommend
them to the attention of those fitting out whale ships.
Respectfully yours,
THOMAS WALL, Master bark George.
HONOLULU, March II, 1856.
CAPT. ROBERT BRowN-My dear Sir: L used your Bomb
Lances in taking a whale, north, the past season, which made
25O bblS. of oil. We never could have taken him without said
Lances, as our boats could not get near enough to use the COM
mon hand lance.
Yours Respectfully,
G. L. Cox, Master ~whale-ship Magnolia.
HONOLULU, March Is, 1855.
CAPT. ROBERT BRowN-DeGrS Sir : / take this opportunity
to inform you that 1 used your Bomhs on the voyage in the ship
Herald, and found them effective in taking whales, and would
recommend them to all whalemen, and especially around the ice.

Guns and apparatus.

Senator Douglass and the President.
WASHINGTON. Dec g

w loN, LCS. -.
Judge Douglas and the President had
to day a full and free interchange of opin-
ion on the Kansas question, without, it
is understood, being able to arrive at the
same conclusions in regard to the line of
policy which justice and duty requires
each to pursue, The interview, it is fur
Their stated, was courteous, and they par
ted, as they met, friends, regretting that
they could not view the Lccompton Con-
stitution in the same light.
Senator Douglas, in conversation with
his friends, freely defines his position
He stands, he says, on the principle o
the Nebraska Kansas bill, which guar
antees to each State and Territory tn,
right to regulate their domestic institu
tons to suit themselves, and he will fol
low that principle whenever its logica
consequences carry him defending
against all assaults from whatever quartz
they may come. In its application t.
Kansas, he insists on ignoring both tn
Lecompton and Topeka movements, ant
securing to the people the right to form
Constitution for themselves.

Letter from Judge Isbeil.
Es- The Maquoketa Excelsior, S

Es- The Maquoketa Errelsior, some
weeks since, in discussing the matter of
the United States Senatorship, brought
forward Judge IsBELL, of Marion, as a
candidate for that honored position. The
nomination is undoubtedly an excellent
one, and next to Gov GRIMES we know
of no one whose selection would be more
cordially endorsed The Judges abi
ties are fully equal to the position, and

knowledge of our wants and our interests,

principles of Republicanism, would in

locality should, and is, to become para
mount, then we prefer that he himself
should become the recipient of the honor.
He peremptorily declines, however, to
allow his name to be used in the connec-
ton, and writes as follows to the Linn
County Register:

the result which the Northern wing of the

we have been enabled thus far to go on with the
regularity which we have-a regularity seldom
obtained by journals of this character during

pensable TO its continuance. Though not as good

UP to the ordinary standard of country journals

creased and its usefulness enhanced, they have
only to give it increased support.
In departing, to even limited extent, from the
rule of advanced payments, which we at first

take. We are compelled to come back to that
