FAIRBANKS PATENT SCALEs.-E. 4
T. Fairbanks Il Co., the original inventors
of these Scales, have given their constant
personal attention for thirty years to lmpro-
wing and perfecting them, and adapting
them to the various uses for which Scales
are wanted, till they have come to be very
generally regarded in this and most foreign
countries, as THE STANDARD SCALES. At the
same time that they have brought their
Scales to very high degree of perfection
as to quality, they have been able, by their
long experience in the business, the COM
plete system they have introduced into all
branches oft, and their unequaled facilities
in all respects for carrying it on, to offer
them at the very lowest prices for which
good Scales can possibly be made; and if
others are offered at lower rates, they will
be found to be of inferior quality.

The Committee of Conference made the
following report: ut is is the opinion Of
your Committee that by positive evidence
none has been adduced showing violation
either on the part of the part OF the New
York and Erie or New York Ceutral Rail
roads OF the contracts formerly existing be-
tween the said companies; your committee
believe that the recent great reduction in
passenger fare on the part of the New York
and Erie Railroad was induced by unfound.
ed reports Of misapprehension on the part
OF the New York Central railroad or other
roads, not from any state Of facts, and there
fore earnestly recommend to to these roads
to meet together in spirit Of rcconcilia-
ton and adjust the differences between them
and restore again remuneratiye rates and
good feeling; that in case of failure on the
part of of said roads to adjust existing diff
culties and restore the rates Of fare, your
committee recommend the roads represent
ed to put in force the 18th article Of the
Cleveland Convention of October IA, 1857,
againts all roads which shall persist in
keeping the rates. and that special com.
mlttee of three lie appointed to agree upon
and publish details of the manner of putting
into operation the 18th resolution of the
Cleveland Convention.

TIE SPEECH OF MR.. BURLlNGAME.


From Our Own Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Thursday, April |, l-js.
The speech of Mr.. Burlingame yesterday is wor-
thy of a passing notice not so much for It's elo-
auence aud spirit as for certain political signi-
canoe which attaches 10 il when rightly interpreted.
Ii Was in some sort maniiesto-a proclamation 10
the people of the terms and basis Of the alliance be-
tween the Douglas Democrats, Americans and Re-
pubcsns TO defeat LecOmpton. | sm t"d that It
gives much satisfaction 10 the Americans snd the
Douglas men, who are subscribing largely for copies
for circulation.
Mr.. Burlipgame began by saying that il had been
shown in the great debate now drawing near It's
close that the people Of Kansas never authorized the
Leconpton Constitution: that they never made it,
that they never ratified it; that it does not reflect
their will But il was not his psrpose TO go over
again the history of Kansas. That had been stltfl-
GENTLY dwet upon. Ii had been said upon the
other side that this question OF union or dis
uniOu and that the question might as well De met
now as at any time. He thought 80 too. lie was
ready 10 meet the question now lie accepted the
issue thus rendered, and he accepted II the more
esgerly in the face OF this menace. representa-
tive OF the people would be craven, did he shrink
from his duty IN the presence of such q threat as
this.
What you dissolve thls Union because you can
not have your own Wild way You dissolve this
mon because the Lecompton Constitution, born of
neuu ana No.ence, Is legally voted down Ia TINS
House Has your nationality no better quality
than that How will you do it, Who is to do it
Whose hand is ready 10 strike the FIRST blow
Where s your army chest where your battalions
You cannot do II. Ii would be wrong 10 do il; IL
would not be legal to do IL it would not be safe to
do it. Even on the banks of the Sautee il wonld
require no Federal army to subdue rebellion. The
descendants OF Sumter and Marion vocld strike
down rebellion to-day ss their fathers struek down
Toyism.

MR.. PLITT.
of The ~ Y TribuD~.

WASHINGTON, April !, 1858.
1t remains with Mr.. Stephens to some extent,
when the disagreement of the Senate to the Crit
tenden substitute will be called to division in the
House. He and his friends are not at all urgent for
action, from the consciousness of an impending de-
feat. They had the bill kept back on Friday, to
gain time for coDcatjoD, but the effort SO far have
not been attended with any degree of success.
The committas are too positive and too sincere to
admit of reesntaton at this late day, without the
deepest and most lasting disgrace. Still the most
desperate attempts have been made, and will be
employed up to the last moment to obtain con-
ference that being the last hope of the Admlnstra
tisn. The same eIpedients we're tired on Wednes-
day night when the Cabinet attended the House IN
person, and on Thursday morning, when Mr.. Biger
and other authorized SCENTS were operating on the
hoor in view of the whole public. They failed then,
and they will fail again.
There il a perfect accord among the Opposition,
as 10 the form of the motion 10 be proposed. Ia
ordinary legislation, the usual practice alter dlsi
ereement to an amendment made IN one house, is
10 insist and ASK Committee of Conference. BY
this mode bill may be kept alive as long as eat.
The first adherence by either renders it necessary
for the other 10 recede or adhere also, when the
matter is usually suffered to fall. But the Manual
distinctly says either House, however, is free TO
pass over the term of insisting, and 10 adhere in
1.-The frst instance And this Is the course 10 be-
adopted now, and for the best of all reasons, be-
cause il knocks the ninth life out of the cat. No
humbugging conferences needed. Ihe Union
of this morning makes the following ingenious con-
fesson: If We are TO believe the adyices that
leone 10 US from Kansas, that Territory is not only
anxious but importunate for admission into the
Union, On any terms nhaierer." If the Admins
traton really believes this statement, then why in
terpose obstacles 10 the Crittenden substitute
And especially if il be true, as is alleged, that 1t
completely ignores al the principles advocated by the
Black Republicans" The latter should be a con-
elusive reason with the majority in the Senate, and
il is 70 be hoped that they will adopt il, and relieve
Congress and the country of this distracting qnes
ton. We ewaht peace and quiet aud the Crittenden
amendment viii secure both.
II is really distressing to witness the touching
rty of The JRion for the preservation and integrity
of the Republicans. Day after day whole columns
are expended in warning them against the traps and
pitfalls Of their enemies Since Friday that delecta-
bic print has been engaged in the patriotic work Of
proving eat in the mealtub Astounding information
came 10 its knowledge, that Gov. Chase and a whole
brigade of Black Republicans, bad written all the

emerge in slips of about six inches in

apparatus which cleans them of dirt, and
they are then thrown into stands or 'yats,
strong lye is placed upon them, and the
hole is then boiled by steam for about
twelve hours. in order to soften the tex.

NORMA,S BRIDAL.

By EMMA ALOE BROWNE.
Tho golden lapms are all nglow,
Benonth palace roof sublime
Wild tides oemusic ebb and flow,
And break on shores Of loveliest rhyme
ooh, kingly was the lavish pride
That decked these glorious festive halls
And the high genius dciRcd
That hung such wonders on the walls!
Dreams Of the old mysterious East
Glowed here in depths of sunset light;
And here an Indian marriage feast
Mads the dim chamber grand at night;
The Crusade, and the Tournament
Tho hero worship of the past
And the fierce wings Of Navies bent
Before the rushing thunder blast
Or there, in Italy's summer space,
Night, with her thousand splendid stars,
Cleaned on a meek Madonna face
Betwixta conveut's gloomy bars
Or here, in tender passion strife,
Pale-frontcd Gods. and Nymphs divine,
Dilated with ideal life.
Is crystal cups o'erAow with wine,
The roet's soul o'erflowed the theme
The artist wrought upon the wall
And radiant as that artists dream
Proud forms are fitting to and fro
'Twixt oriental lights ard glooms,
Soft as the drifting, moonlit snow,
They move about the gorgeous rooms;
And, empress of the revelry,
Proud Duchess Norma, where art thou
The mantling bcakers blush for thee
Tho bridal veil is on thy brow
Grand as his ducal coronet,
De Beaufort waits thee at tho door
":Oh Norma, can thy HEART forget
The wild, sweet wales of Connismore 7"
The haunting music f that tone
Ringn through her madly throbbing brain
But with an inward, stified moan,
She leads the glittering bridal-train.
With sweet blne ey es, and curls Of gold
That fash like sunlight in their fall,
The proudly beautiful-the cold
Guy Percey lcNns against tho wall.
To his pale forehead climbs flush
As sunset tints tho Alpine snow
While thro' the fragrant light and hush
He secs the splendid pageant go.
Der the wild fells of Connismere
Tho sunny years in beauty rolled,
Till of the summer times a scoro
Had touched his wandering curls with gold
And on her Cirlhood wild and worn,
Had stnmp'd their bloom and fire. and wound
The midnight blackness of the storm
Amid her tresses, all unbound.
All, Duchess Norma! thou mayest wear
The undimm'd roses of thy youth
The burning jewels in thy hair
Cannot recall thy broken truth
One backward yearning glance rho flung
Ofruined love and stated pride
But he, the beautiful and young,
Turned ooldly from that peTiured bride.
And years have died since they 80 wildly parted
He the deceived, and she the broken hearted.
The poets deathless laurels wreathe HIS brow,
4 ER bridal crown is dust and ashes now!
