When the celebrated DIR. Rush de-
clared that drunkenness was disease,
he enunciated a truth which the expe-
rience and observation OF medical men
is every day confirming. The many
apparently insane excuses of those
who indulge in the use of spirituous
liquors, may be thus accounted for.
The true cause of conduct, which is
taken for infatuation, is very frequently
a diseased state of the Liver. No or
gan in the human system, when de-
ranged, produces more frightful cata-
logue of diseases. And if instead of
applying remedies to the manifestations
of disease, as is too often the case,
physicians would prescribe with view
to the original cause, fewer deaths
would result from diseases induced by
a degraded state of the Liver. Three
fourths of the diseases enumerated
under the head of Consumption, have
their seat in diseased Liver. DR..
McLane's celebrated Liver Pills, pre-
pared by Fleming Bros, are a certain
cure. A~k =

ask for DR.. McLdsae's celebrated Per

THE NEW TERRITORY OF CoLoNA.
We see it stated that the President
has declared himself decidedly opposed
to the organization of the Territory of
Colona. This is no more than might
have been expected. Mr.. Buchanan
can see no good results to be derived
from the formation of any new terrific
ry unless there is prospect of slavery
going there. When that is the case,
we can always depend upon the execu-
tive influence. The territory of Co
Iona will embrace all the recently dis
covered gold region of Pixies Peak,
Cherry Creek, &C., and will extend
from the one hundred and third parallel
of lugitude to the crest of the Rocky
Mountains, and from the thirty-seventh
to the forty-seyenth parallel of latitude
making nearly . square. 1t will in
clude part of the present Territories of
Kansas, Nebraska, Utah, and New
Mexico-the greater part being taken
from Kansas. Mr.. Colfax, who intro
duced the bill into the House for the
organization of Colona, believes that
by the coming summer, there will be
at least 20, 900 persons there.

The Lansing correspondent of the
Jackson Citizen, sayssthat quite fur
ny was created in the House on Satur-
day morning, by the Introduction Of a
resolution BY Mr.. Campau, of Wayne,
endorsing ''the foreign and domestic
policy of James Buchanan" as "emi-
nently worthy Of the support of the
American people," Such resolution
coming from such a souree, excited
considerable surprise, even among the
Republicans, and the object was not
Immediately recognizable. n At length,
however, it leaked out that there was
a division in the pro-slavery ranks ;
that they had fierce fghtin the eau
Gus before they could settle upon can
didate for Senator. 1t seems the OBJ
position stands sixteen national ID emo
Gratis, to sixteen Douglas Democrats.
The former, in caucus, voted for Mr..
Stuart. After nearly a dozen|ballots,
Stuart was declared nominated. These
votes were all taken by ballot, and as
it was impossible to make all of either
faction show,their hands, this resolu-
ton was introduced into the House, to
show how many Democrats were
"sound on the slavery goose" AS soon
as the resolution was introduced, the
ayes and nays were called, and the pre-.
yious. question called for, the Republi
cans keeping quiet and allowing the
Democracy to have things their own
way in the matter. Well, the vote
came, and it was found that just seven
teen Democrats endorsed the Admins.
tration, precisely the number, and the
inference is, precisely the men who
nominated Stuart in caucus The
whole was ludicrous in the extreme
and causes great deal of talk and
some trouble in the pro-slavery camp
1t is already evident that the minority
is far from unanimous upon any ques
ton, and they are in a sea of deer
tribulation. rs

compelled to take position for or
against the revival of the slave trade !:
"The question of revival of the

scholars between the Township Districts,
but there provision for interchange between
Sub Districts, and hence it cannot be effect
ed without the mutual consent of all parties
The law contemplates that pupils shall at

which they reside.
The law fails to designate the manner in
which the money apportioned to a district
shall be divided among the sub-distrfcts !;
and in the absence of such provision, l der
eide that it shall be divided in proportion t.
