The Chicago Times on Indiana Pol.

1t is as apparent as possible, that in
all quarters where the Presidency in 1860
is agitated in behalf of The claims of GER
tain persons distinguished as politicians,
there is nervousness prevalent concern
ing the politics of Indiana aEthis juncture.
JESSE D. BRIaHT and Judge .DoUeLAs
are especially touched by this disorder.
DOUGLAS is now far behind his lndisna
friends, and he fears ne will be injured
by them. They are fighting out in good
faith the battle into which he led them,
while he is looking after the Presidency.
The Chicago Times. it may be fairly
presumed, speaks for Judge DOUGLAS in
this matter. Thursdays issue of that
paper, attempted to advise the Anti'Le'
compton Democracy of Indiana, as to
their action in the case of the the Bogus
Senators BRIGHT and FITCH. 1t SAID:
We have been one Of those who have
believed from the beginning that the pre-
tended election of Bright and Fitch was
illegal unconstitutional, and therefore
void. We have always looked upon it,,
and have often spoken Of it as one Of
those bold, glariDg frauds which could
not be jus'ifed. or excused by any honest
man of any party. The highhanded
and revolutionary proceedings of the Re-
publicans in the Legislature in refusing to
60 into an election, though reprehensible
and outrageous, was not, and cannot be
tortured into justification for setting
aside all law and precedent, and palming
off upon the country two men, as United
States Senators, who had never been
elected to such positions by the only body
authorized 10 do so n Il The
election of Bright and Fitch amounted 10
nothing more than an election by a town
meeting, or by the common council Of the
city of Indianapolis. But no matter how
illegal and how absurd was the election
under which Fitch and Bright claimed
their seals in the United States Senate,
that matter has been settled, and settled
forever so far as they are concerned, by
the decision of the Senate itself.
The constitution of the United States
gives 10 the Senate the final and exclusive
power of deciding who are entitled to be
members of that body. In the case oI
Bright and Fitch. that decision has been
made, and whether the decision be jus
or unjust, :here is, under the constitution
no appeal from it,
And the conclusion that the article leads
to is, that the election of Senators to take
the place of BRIGHT and FITCH would bt
as broad farce as ever was played, ant
that The anti.Lecompton Democrats of In
diana should not be prevailed upon by
the Republicans to aid them in playing
it, and thus destroying the harmony o
the party.

Breakers Ahead of Douglas.

Some of Douglas most influential
Eastern hackers are becoming alarmed at
the breakers they see in his course, some
Of which they dread will shipwreck his
Presidential chances.
The New York Times for example,
fears that the Republicans are going to
introduce a bill to abolish the English
bill of last session, so as 10 admit Kansas
whenever she may choose TO apply with
out regard TO the number of her popula.
,ion, which, il says, will afford party
test, and compel politicians to define their
positions. 1t also fears that the slave
holders will bring forward slave code to
protect their human shattels on the ground
thus stated:
That slaves as property must be pro
tecled By La'o Of Congress against the
possible interference of a territorial Leg
islature, or rather against the possible
neglect Of those Legislatures to make any
law upon the subject. This is TO be
brought forward as fundamental princi
pie of political faith. No candidate will
be considered "sound" according tt
Southern quarantine regulations, wit
does moi come up to Virginia high waite
mark upon this point. The device il
ingenious and is clearly aimed at Douglas
The point now is 20 require Mr.. Dougla
TO vote upon the proposition that Con
gress shall legislate upon this subject, 70
the protection Of slave property within
the limits of the federal territories. An

papers are already chuckling over til
dilemma in which the Illinois Senate
will then find elfinvolved.

be suffered to escape. He will have a

The RULING PASSION STRONG IN DEATH
Old Uncle John Jones, who lived in Gin

fond of mint. So fond of The weed was
Jones that he would be sure to have the

son. In the spring of 1855, Jones did
not make his appearance as usual, and
the proprietors of the saloons and restau-
rants, whom he had become quite familiar
with, felt anxious as to the Whereabouts
of their bountiful customer-upon inqui-
ring they found that Jones had come io
his death during one of the wintermonlhs
and feeling as if they owed little respect
to their departed friend, they proceeded
to his grave, where to their surprise, they
found the mint had grown all about hi'

Her Diseases and their Treatment.

Professor of Obstetrics and Diseases Of
Women and Children, in the Eclectic
College of Medicine, Cincinnati;
Author of the Amer can Ec-
lectic Dispensatory, the
American Eclectic
Obstetrics, the
A NJ ERIC PLY SICIAN.
This work was undertaken by the author
only at the repeated and urgent solicitation
of those who have listened to his lectures
for the past six or seven years and from
lis own well-grounded convictions that
the health and happiness of the whole
country demanded reliable and scientific
treatise on the subject. The women of
America are far,to ignorant of their pecu-
liar organization, and of the diseases to
which they are liable the consequence
of which is, that the sex is becoming pro-
verbal for poor health, wretched existence
and shortness of life. Physicians cannot
remedy this state ofthings, self-knowledge,
on the part ofwomen themselves, regard
to the healthy action of their peculiar
functions, the early symtoms of derange-
.ment, and the bost methods Of cure, can
alone arrest the fatal tide offemale mortal
ity. Let the voice of warning be needed.
In the composition of the present work,
several objects have been held in view,
viz to give thorough account of the
history, symptoms, causes, etc., OF the
various diseases referred to, in as condensed
a manner as possible, so as to retain it
within certain limits, and place it at
price within the reach of every mother
and daughter in America to state fully
the treatment pursued in these affections
by the most successful practitioners, as
well as that which the author adopts in
his own practice,- and to accomplish this
end in addition to his own views, the
most reputable authorities have been care
fully examined. ...
The language of the author is chaste,
and yet capable of being understood by any
intelligent person.
The tex. is we'll illustrated with new
, and appropriate engraving, of chaste and
, inoflensve design.
