I'm. swindIe I'm the Senate.

The last discussion OF the Lecompton |
swindie in the United States Senate, prior |
to the sailing Of the Steamer ON the Goth Of
March, resulted in atriumph Of the popular
sovereignty Democracy in that body, and
the defeat Of those dastardly recreants TO
principle, who would sap the foundation Of
our free government TO establish central
power, and precedence for forcing obnox-
ious constitutions upon free people The
Lecompton Senators, whose course repudi
ases the Democratic platform, and who de-
sire to give the solemn sanction Of Congress
to the most despicable and giariug frauds
that ever disgraced any government upon
earth making the least pretensions Of honor
and justicc-these gentlemep, started into
the discussion with the impetuosity Of un-
brdled bullies, but soon became somewhat
"tremulous in their manner" and "submis-
sive in their Tone" and accepted tho post
ponement Of the discussion and the adjourn
ment Of the Senate. calmly urged by the
stern and unyelding representatives Of the
Democratic doctrine Of Popular Sovereignty
and the perpetuity of the Union.
This discussion exhibited another degre,

with regard to smallpox. 1t is already
extensively used throughout the whole OF
the Continent, and favorable results have
been already obtained in France, Ger
many, Italy, and Spain, as we'll as at
st. Petersburg and Constantinople. We
may also atate that, in consequence of
DIR. Churchil's discovery, the manufac-
ture Of the hypophosphites in Paris, has
already attained considerable degree Of
Importance, whereas before they were ap-
piled to no use, and were only to be found
as chemical specimens in the laboratory.
These facts alone, DR.. Churchill con-
tends, are at least a presumption that the
remedy is found to be of benefit. Should
any of our medical readers feel inclined
to investigate the subject, we may state
that Dir. Churchill has established pub
lie dispensary at No. s Rue Larrey, near
the Ecole de Medicine, where he lectures
every Friday at half past ten.
