PALUDAL MIAsM-The Chemists
have long been laboring to detect the
subtle poison, and determine what it is.
Door. AVER, of Lowell, has at length
succeeded. He finds it to be an etheri-
al exhalation of vegetable decay, which
is evolved only in the presence and by
the assistance of water. Its ABSORB
ton through the lungs into the blood
is the sole cause of the hillary de-
ranoements which result in the Inter
mittent Fevers, SO affecting and so pre-
vaIent in our climate. An antidote for
this insidious venom, IS one OF the
great 1esiterata in medicine, and the
Doctor feels sure that he has found one
which not only neutralizes but expel it
completely from the system. tits put
up in conveninnt form, called "AGUE
CthE," and furnished cheaper than
other remedies for this complaint
which last fact is by no means an un-
important one in these tines.-Denao-

New States.

The Congress which will meet at
Washington in December next, will, in
the course of its deliberations, be called
upon to decide on the question of adj
hitting one or more new States into
the Union, and the Organization of an
equal number of territories. Kansas
viii once more stand at the bar of the
Union, for the third time to make ap-
plication to become State. The first
attempt was made with the Topeka
constitution, irregularly formed, though
expressing the will of the majority.
The second was with the Lecompton
constitution, regularly formed but ut
terly fraudulent from the inception, and
entirely opposed to the will of the peo-
pie, as was shown at the subsequent
election, held by order of Congress, in
which the vile thing was rejected by
an overwhelming vote. The third at
tempt at admission will be made at the
approaching session, and it will be with
constitution regularly formed, State
government organized in the same man.
ner, and the people satisfied with the
whole work. Under such circumstance
es the question whether Kansas shall
be admitted into the Union as State,
ought to receive but one response, and
that unanimous affirmative, for the ex-
ample set in the Oregon case shows
that population is no longer test, and
that new State may be admitted with
or without the number of people re-
quisite for single representative dis
trict. But, unfortunately, our politics
have become SO sadly mixed up that
there is prospect of senseless but
virulent opposition to the addition of
this new state to our constellation.
Should she make her debut as Re-
publican State, and with a free soil
State government and Senators, she
will undoubtedly meet with difficulty in
getting through the Senate. If ever a
State earned her right to admission by
heroic history, surely that State must
be Kansas. Her people have suffered
hardships of evry description for thesake
of that republican liberty guaranteed
to them by the national constitution.
They have proved their sterling oh ar
acter in the greatest ordeal through
which human endurance has been fat
ed to pass. To reject them now, after
all their struggles, would be cruel, bru-
tai; and we will not believe it possible
that the Senate will be guilty of so
much baseness until we see it attempt
ed. But meantime let the American
people keep strict watch on those slip
perry fellows at Washington who are
disposed to play fast and loose on this
question. More especially let an eye
be kept on free State representatives
ard if they be found wanting in any
emergency like this, let them be re-
membered effectually. Kansas must be
the thirty fourth State.

A GREAT FEAT AcCoMPLIsHED.-A
dispatch from Niagara Falls, June 80,
says that Mons. Blondin performed his
hazardous feat to-day, of walking
across the river on tight rope, in the
presence of from 5000 to 10000 peo-
pie. He first crossed from the Ameri-
can side, stopping to refresh himself
with drink of water, which he drew
up in bottle, with a rope, from the
steamer Maid of the Mist, which ac-
companied him to be of service in case
of accident. He crossed over in III

The Emigrant Agency.

The Jackson Citizec says that Mr..
Diepenbach the newly appointed emf
grant agent for this State, appears to
have entered upon his duties ardently
and With good success. For the first
time in many years has Michigan been
represented in its true light through the
papers Of n. Y. City, and an opportu-
nifty thus afforded of using those pow
erful aids to stimulate emigration to
our State. Mr.. d. has overcome the
obstacles which have SO long prevented
us a fair hearing, and done much to-
wards effecting a marked change in
the tone and influence of the CONNER
cial metropolis of the continent. AS a
reward for his exertions, already over
five hundred families have been in
duced to seek homes in our midst. All
who are well acquainted with our agri-
cultural capacities and mineral resources
will bear him out in saying that there
is no State in the Union which offers
greater advantages to the emigrant
than Michigan-that is rich soil and
valuable forests, its healthy climate, its
commercial facilities, the immence trade
of it's lakes, inexhaustible mines of cop
per, iron, coal and plaster, present to
them inducements that are unexcelled,
if they are equaled, on the American
Continent. His recapitulation of the
leading features of the several acts of
the Republican Legislatures of 1857, SO
and so, designed to develop our re-
sources and to encourge the settlement
of our valuable uncultivated territory,
presents the subject in a clear light, and
must present strong influence in de-
termining all intelligent Germans and
other foreigners intending to take up
their residence in the West, to turn
their attention to Michigan. We also
learn that above five thousand acres OF
swamp lands have been located by
these new emigrants under the forty
acre homestead act of last winter. As
soon as the existance of the homestead
law and the great agricultural capaci-
ties of our soil are fully made known to
emigrants through the efforts of the
State Emigrant Agent, and by other
means that may be employed, there is
not doubt that tide of emigration
will begin to pour into. our state, and
of the very best class, far exceeding
any that has hitherto been witnessed
A cloud of prejudice. created by the
misrepresentation of interested or ig
norant parties, has long rested upon thi.
State. An Emigrant Agent will dc
mnch to remove these false and injuri
Gus impressions, and when they are re
moved, Michigan will begin to settle
more rapidly than at any other period
of its history. We may therefore safe
ly predict that by the close of another
year we shall have population of ont
million, that will compare with any il
the Union for intelligence, enterprise
and thrift.

For several weeks past, the harmo-
Nous "Democracy" of Grand Rapids
have been enjoying quite "set to !"
among themselves, that while it some
what interrupts the harmony of things
furnishes little relief from the mono
tony of "peacable and quiet life." The
difficulty, as we understand it, may be
stated as follows: About one year ago
there arose a difficulty between the
then editors of the Enquirer, one be-
Ing for Douglas, the other for Buchan-
an, which after sharp fight resulted in
the withdraw of Thompson, one of the
editors. who Immediately established
the Press. Gordon took the manage
ment of theEnqstirer and went in IN
der the patronage of Charley Stuart,
and the Postmaster of Grand Rapids
for the simon pure democracy. But
the arrangements have somehow been
jostled, and an officer has entered the
Enquirer Office and established himself
in the publishing bushes, very much to
the annoyance of the Enquirer, COM
pelling that paper for the time being
to issue from the Eagle Office. This
quarrel makes some rich political de-
velopments, which tend to throw little
light on the internal arrangements of
the harmonious democrocy."
One statement made by Mr.. Gordon
in the course of this quarrel is that Mr..
Yale was appointed postmaster of that
city "with the understanding that the
profits of the Institution should be gle
en- to the Enquirer Dc Herald"
"1his zoe can proye By the Hon.
Charles Il. Stuart, achom oar citizens
may erpect to see upon the aoitness stand
at the ne.rt October term Of the Kent
County Circuit Court. Yet, notwith-
standing this we have nerer receiced
on cent of the Post Office profits On
the contrary, the last quarters account
for advertising the List of Letters, was
paid for by an order to change the &c
count to IT. z. Yale! This last was in
violation Of an act Of Congress which
explicitly commands all payments to be
made in gold and silver"
We are not very particular who
comes out ahead in this quarrel, although
we have to confess to little sympathy
with the publisher of the Enquirer, be
cause he makes out fair case of 'per
secution for righteousness sake" but
we wish to call the attention of oul
readers to the fact of Postmaster re-
ceiving the appointment, upon the ex
press condition that he will devote the
entire revenue of his office to the sup
port of partizan paper.
1t is, says cotemporary, of a piece
with the Navy contracts and other OPP
erations of this Administration. New
er was the Executive chair of the Uni
ted States prostituted to SO vile purpos
es, as it has been since Mr.. Buchanar
occupied it. Other developments vii
be made from time to time, as the in
congruous clements of the democratic
party separate, as they must inevitabl.
do with the departure of power
