hops for this result. The Republicans
have, we believe, ninety-two members;
the Democrats and Americans one hun
dred and forty y-six. In , full house, there
fore. it would require twenty five of these
Democrats and Americans to vote with

True, the Republican members are all an

in the best aspect of the case, it will re-
quire eighteen members who were elected
as Democrats and Americans to unite
with the unanimous Republican vote t.
defeat it. Can those eighteen votes be
had? We fear not. The power of party
machinery, and the corrupting influence
of the immense patronage Of the Admin

virtue of those relied upon to defeat the
scheme. But time will test. e-. III,

GOING BACK TO FIRST PRfNorPLEs.---
Passing along the street yesterday, our at
tention was suddenly drawn to scene
not b little novel and interesting indits
character, In an alley, with paste-pot in
hand, and a roll of bills on his arm, whom
should we see but Wesley Smead, Esq, of
the Citizens Bank, posting his own bills
of property for sale. for the purpose of
paying off the remaining debts of the
bank. Needless Of the wondering gaze OF
the astonished passers-by, he laid on the
paste, and spread out his bills with all the
readiness and facility Ola practiced Post
er, taking care to place them in the most
conspicuous positions, and aboyeHthe reach
of boys and rag-pickers. ":N'
Forty three years ago, Dr. Smead was
an apprentice in the Gazette establish
ment, and being the youngest, the duty de-
volvedupon him of posting up the show
bills, bills Of sale, &c. Atthis late period
of his life, when over:aken by adversely,

Vanatta a. ID Oa,s. when they directed
these three Dem, cgatic Doctois, Boerstler,
Dorsey and Woods, to meethere and ap-
point other Doctors to sshperintend the
Benevolent Institutions-rof course it
nevereniered into their pure lunsophisti-
Gated and .disiDtefested> minds that favors
might be feciprocated, and either them
selves, relatives or friends be benefited by
changing the appointing power from the
hands OF the Governor, in spite OF the
Constitution, into the hands of the,brethl
rem of the profession! Oh no! These
Senatorial Doctors never thought Of such
a thing! Not they! s9 - ~ '1~ +@'
We are sorry to see these Institutions
placed in the power of men who look upon
them in no other light than AS means
of providing positions for themselves, or
AS rewards for their partisans and friends.
The petty legislation, the disgraceful
shifts to which the Senate Committee
was forced to stoop to, as reported in this
bill, to carry out their contemplate party
schemes, should cause the blood to tingle
in their cheeks with shame. 1t is nc
wonder that they feared to submit this
ridiculous bill to the inspection Of the
minority of the Committee. a41
We trust that the Senate will have the
dignity and the good sense to bury this
bill Of DIR. Kincaid's along with his mis-
cradle abortion, the negro bill, and le
them both, side by side, sleep the sleel
that knows no waking. BY 30 doing TIN

less reason to blush for the public acts o

VENERABLE MrsrAEEs---A NEWER AN,


VENERABLE MIsrAKEs--zA NEWER AND
BETTER PHILosoPHr.--We honor the man
who is not afraid to denounce those priv
LEGGED errors in which the world for CEN
turies has itacitly aequiesced, and is bold
enough to advance and advocate newer
and truer theory which the slaves of pre-
cedent may chose to call heresy. Such a
man is Thomas Holloway, the Medical
Revolutionist of our age. His system of
medical treatments his own. 1t is based
on new prime iples, it has been perfected
by research, experiment, and observation;
it is pre-eminently successful. The won-
derful results produced by his Pills in all
the varieties OF internal disease, and the
no less astonishing effects of his Oint-
ment in external disorders, are notorious in
this country and throughout the globe
We have had many opportunities of wit
Messing the rapidly and completeness with
which uleerous complaints are subdued
or rather extirpated, by the combined
action of the Ointment and the Pills.
These two great specifics seem recipro-
cally to assist each other in the cure Of
this class of diseases. Many practitioners
are afraid to undertake the healing of a
sore leg, or deepseated abscess; the re-
ductlon ola we:, OF humor Well, they
may be, for with the exception of Hol-
llJway's, all the methods of treating these
forms of disease are wholly superficial.
But he refers them, primarily, to vita
ted condition of the blood, and attacks the
poison thrown into the circulation by the
secretive organs, at its fountain head, the
stomach and liver. While the Pills are
acting upor these organs and upon the
fluids they eliminate, he applies the Oint-
ment to the outlets of disease on the sur
face, and strikes at the external 'inflamma-
ton and decomposition through the pores.
Thus the ulcer, sore, abscess, tumor or
cancer, is subjected to double assault
from within and without. To use a mill
tary phrase, it is completely invested ; it's
supply Of poison from the interior is cut
off, and the evirus already circulating ih the
exterior vessels is neutralized. This be-
ing done, the morbid action ceases, and the
cure is safely and adically accomplished.
The philosophy upon which his practice
is based is sound; its results always salu-
tary.--Liveypool journal. asis -e 'sa

COLUMBUS, MARCH, 81, 1858.

DsG- 7elegraph-Ths whole of the af-
ternoon Of yesterday was occupied in con-
sidsring the Joint Resolution which passed
the Senate some days ago providing for
the adjournment of the Legislature on the
18th day Of April, to meet again on the
frst Monday Of January next. in extra
session. The discussion was carried on
wholly by tie Democrats, nearly all Of
whom were in favor of annual sessions; but
one or two of them contended that it was
clearly unconstitutional TO hold adjourned
sessions unless called by the Governor.
1t WAS argued that, as the Democrats had
last fall denounced the Republicans for
holding such session. it would be grossly
inconsistent for them to vote now against
their former professions. And. moreover,
if an adjourned session was necessary, let
the Governor take the responsibility.
In reply to this, it was argued that tie
constitution required the Governor, in
case he called an extra session, to state his
reasons for so doing, and if compelled to
call such session. Governor Chase would
place the responsibility on the Democratic
majority in such manner that it would
damage them more than to act manly,
straightforward course, and adopt the
measure themselves.
A number of gentlemen attempted to
dodge the vote. but were not permitted
After several side questions, motion
was finally adopted. SO amending the reso-

Immediately moved and carried, and the
question laid upon the table. 1t will
