MoFFAT's LIFE Pills AND PHOENIX
BITrFRs.-A philosopher once said, if
life was a thing that money could buy,
how the rich would live, how the poor
would die. OF course he meant to say
that the wealthy would be the healthy,
and the poor lave to endure all the ills
that flesh is heir to-. Yet it need not be
so, for by the curative properties of DIR.
Moffat's valuable medicines the health
may be restored to the poor as well as
preserved to the rich, at a very small
outlay, in the purchase of his ever popu-
lar family medicines. Proprietor, w.

A NEW
DETECT0R.

About the most useful thing that any person in
business, can have IN these times. is a correct
and reliable Counterfeit Detector Detector and
Bank Note List. This want is now to be sup
piled. Messrs. T. Ii. PetersoN& Brothers have
just commenced the publication of ~F
'.I'eterson's Philadelphia Counterfeit De-
tector and Bank Note LIST
a monthly quarto publication which contains all
the information that can be obtained in regard
to all Counterfeits, Broken Banks, and the rates
of discount on all the Bank Notes of the coun-
try. Messrs. Drexel & Co.. the well known
Bankers and Brokers. of this city, will supervise
it and make the corrections in each number of
the list, so that it may be perfectly relied on,
while the well known house of E. w. Clark K
Co., Commission Stock and Exchange Brokers,
will correct the Stock List. Not being intend
ed to subserve the purpose of any banking house,
as most of the Detectors do, it will be a useful
and reliable publication to the whole business
community, and we would advise all of our rea-
ders to remit the price of one years subscrip-
ton to the publ shers at once for it. The price
is but y DULLAR a year. To Clubs. Four

Mr.. Harlan introduced a bill, making
a grant of land to Iowa, in alternate
sections, to aid in the construction of
railroads in that State.
\ bill was passed, giving authority to
certain officers and men, who were en-
gagged in the search of Sir John Frank
lin. to receive the medals presented to
them by the British Government.
BY special order, the affairs of Kan
sas. we're taken up.
Mr.. Hale said that he had refraincd
from participating in the debate hereto
fore b cauSe he presumed that the pub
lie were more anxious to hear from the
other Senators, rather. than learn the
opinions of so humble an individual as
himself. lie did net think that this
discussion was i'll timed or premature.
The. distinguished Senator from Illinois
~liadrspokcn, aud his speech had fully
metthe public expectations. He agreed
with Mr.. Douglas in opposing the Le-
compton Constitution, but not because
it is in contradiction with the principle
aud policy of the Nebrask Bill. He
opposed IL for just the opposite reason,
namely :7because he considered it in ex-
act conformity with that act, He re-
.ardcd it $ a part of the original pro-
gramnle, and as carrying it. out in the
letter and spirit.
/. lie was inclined to think, in the con
trUversy between Mr.. Douglas and the
President, that the palm of victory ought
to be awarded to the President, when
the latter undertakes to bring in the
Federal army to force this obnoxious
constitution down the Threats of the
people of Kansas. 1t was because he
understood the Nebraska Bill just as
well as if he was in the country at the
time that the measure became a law
Dir. Hale was opposed to the whole
thing from beginning to end was OPP
posed to the tree and foliage, and now
opposed to plucking the ripe fruit. He
could only judge of the object of the
passage of the bill by the natural and
inevitable consequences which must re-
suit from such a measure; that object
could be nothing else than to break
down the barrier which separated the
free territory from the slave territory,
and bring. Kansas into the Union as a
slave State, legally and peacefully if ii
could be done, but to bring it in as d
slave State anyhow, as some of the ad'
vocates of that bill had avowed that il
was their purpose to extend slavery t.
Kansas. With regard to the proceed
ings in Kansas under the Nebraska Bill
tbeqeiections were carried, not by a mol
from Missouri, but by. al invading ar
my.,who wont over the line with drum
and fife, and banners flying, and carried
everything their way, and returned across
the river, openly avowing that they ha'
conquered the Territory. Thus matter
went on with this kind of perfect free
dom and popular sovereignty, and a
length the convention assembled t
form a constitution for the future Stat
of Kansas; and what did they dor
