affairs, the powers that be are sadly
pressed to discover ways and means by
which to meet the pressing demands
which their abuse Of power have COM
PEELED them to make upon the generos-
ity of Congress for appropriations. In
their distress they are again compelled
to ask, as is done in the report of the
Post Master General, for an increase
in the rates of postage. He recon-
mends and increase of from three cents
the present rate, to FIVE cents. AT the
last session of Congress this same
measure was introduced and the North
ern Representatives expressed their de-
cided opposition to the measure. We
cannot doubt but that they will do the
same this year. Let the Administra-
ton heap what abuse it may or can
upon Republicans they can never
carry any measure to increase the pres
ent rates of postage. If we must car
ry thousand of tons of electioneering
documents in the mails, let it be paid
for out of the general fund, but don't
let those who send their communica-
tons in letter shape be taxed with the
cost of this heavy item of transporta-
ton.

~ We are almost unable some
times to describe our symptoms, and do
not know what ails us. We find our
selves nervous, weak and physically
Frustrated. We find terrible sinking
at the pit Of the stomach; feverish
brow, fetid breath, and a gloomy for
bodlng mind. Such symptoms arise
from disorganized stomach and dis
eased liver. Hostetter's Vegetable
Stomach Bitters are so peculiarly
adapted to these symptoms that they
give us an appetite, impart tone and
vigor to the system, and in every re-
spect build up the broken down and

The u. 8. Senate.

Among all the evidences OF the sub
stantial advances of the Republican
party of the United States, none are
more cheering than the rapid and un-
anticipated change in the United States
Senate. When the Republican party
was, first organized, there were scarcely
a dozen members of the Senate who
were ready to enlist under its banner,
and even its most sanguine supporters
supposed the day far distant when the
Republicans could look for prepon-
derancy in that venerable body. But
even in this stronghold of conserva-
tism we are already approximating a
majority. The progress of Free Prin-
ciples has been so rapid and so general,
that by thelegitimate process of change
in 1859, the Republicans will have at
least twenty-five members of the Ma
tional Senate. On the fourth of March
next, the terms of sixteen Senators ex-
pire-eight from the Free States, and
the same number from the South. The
Administration gain one in place of
Bell of Tennessee; one in place of
Thompson in Kentucky; and one in
place of Houston in Texas. In Ar
kansas, Delaware, Louisiana, North
Carolina and South Carolina, pro-sla-
very Democrats will be reelected. In
the eight Northern States, the Repub-
licans gain five members. In Iowa,
Jones has heen superseded in Rhode
Island, Aliens seat has been filled by
a Republican; while in the places of
Stuart of Michigan, Wright of New
Jersey, and Shields of Minnesota, Re-
publicans will be chosen. Massachu-
sets and Maine will return Republicans,
and Illinois re-elects Mr.. Douglas. The
Senate of 1859 will be politically made
up of twenty-five Republicans, thirty
five Democrats, and two Americans
Crittenden of Kentucky, and Kennedy
of Maryland.
In the Indiana Sentorial contest the
result is most gratifying. The bogus
Senators, Bright and Fitch, have been
ousted, and Hon. Henry S. Lane and
VIM. NJ. McCarty have been elected
to fill their places. With such glorious
results the Republicans have reason to
rejoice over the conquests they have
made in the Senate; and they should
take courage and go forward to meet
the next change that comes; when the
miserable doughfaces from Ohio, Penn
sylvnaia and Minnesota-Pugh, Bigler
and Rice, will be summoned to stand
trial before the people. Securing these
three seats in the Senate to Freemen !;
gaining one as we shall in Indiana,
and securing two by the admission of
Kansas as a Free State, the National
Senate will act with the Republican
President to be inaugurated in 1861.

of the wheel every time the harrow moves forward
the ength Of the diameter of the wheel each tooth
has just three times the effect of tooth in straight
harrow, consequently it docs its work far better,

this harrow leaves it better narrowed than by two
