practice to admit contestants Of seats in
Congress to witness the deliberations pend
ing the decision of their right to the seats
which they claimed, but the slavocratic Sem

bogus Senator's by confessed fraud and

'rhe ln1ftne cure.

The beneficial medicinal qualities Of spring
waters impregnated with iodine, have long
been known. NJ. Bonnet, a French physician,
has improved upon the hint thus given by
nature, and investigated the curative proper
ties Of this substance with considerable sue
cess. Iodine 10 present in sea water, and
largely 10 In marine vegetation. Indeed, the
chief source of the iodine used in commerce,
is the kep producted by burning sca-weed.--
DIR. Bonnet having observed that wens, scrof-
ula, and other. affections of that nature, are
very rare among people inhabiting regions
where iodine is abundsntly difused in the air
and that the energy Of the vital functions
bear direct proportion to the quantity Of
iodine present in the system, shrcwdly con-
.ectnred that the employment Of this agent
might be ef6cacious in the treatment OF dis
eases dependent upon q morbid condition Of
the animal functions. He therefore resorted
to tho use Of food containing iodine, by mix
ing with bread, cake, syrups and other edi-
bles, plants containing this substance. After
ten years experimenting with scrofulous chill
dren in this way, he 10 confident that not only
scrofula, but nlccrous affections, diseases or
the skin, opthalmia, carries Of the bones, etc.,
can be cured by such n diet.

The Douglas Orxans Opposed 10 the

Supan FhS10SAs
II will be seen By nm extract from the
Press that Forney 10 decidedly opposed to
pressing the Presidents project FOR the nc
qnisition OF Cuba. The States, Douglass

in opposition TO MIR. Buchanan's policy az one
calculated to postpone indefinitely the se-
comnlishment of measure which it deems
of the utmost Importance to the country.
In the course Of leader upon the subject

Beyond all question, then, it is superia-

that they would not sequiesce in the outrag

Of Erakee and England is conclusive argu

Cuba. This, however, We do affirm, tha

cles on the $50, o00, 1000 appropriation, as fol-
lows:
We speak on this grave SUBJECT for our
selves, and We think We speak for our selves,
and we think we speak for our people. 1t is
rumored that Senator Douglas has taken u
different view: but il is better known that,
while unwilling TO be put in the attitude Of
hostility 20 q serious Executive recommends

scheme an s'ahsurdity," and that this is not
the time, even il we had the money to throw
away upon such a project, to embark in it,
Our own feelings are resolutely against it,
for every reason Of expediency and of right |;
and We trust, for the honor Of the Demo-
cratic party, that those who are in the ma
jority In the great committees IF the House
will pause and po6der before they assume
tho responsibility OF recommending such a
project 30 the Representatives, of the peo-
pie.
