1t is great mistake to class the supporters

few of them may be, but MIR. breckenridge
! himself and his supporters as class are,

IS many Of those who, for political purposes dur
ing the recent excited contest sought to fls-
ten upon them the stigma of dsunion
Should the conservative and Union men in
any particular locality be unable TO ccre with
their adversaries and South Carolina or any
other State, under the head Of nullifers and
disunionists, who have for years been seeking
pretext for breaking up the govern ment, plunge
into rebellion. and without cause, assail by
force OF arms the constitutional authorities of
the Union. there viii be but one sentiment
among the great mass Of the people of all par
ties and in {; II parts of the country, and that
will be- that "The Union, it must and shall be
preserved" !" and Woe to the traitors who are
marshaled against it
Should any Republican inquire what has
been gained by the triumph of Republicanism.
| answer, much. We have gained decision Of
the people in favor of Facifc Railroad
homestead policy, judicious Tariff, the ad-
mission into the Union of Kansas as a free
State, a reform in the financial department Of
the government and more important ths n all,
the verdict of the people, the source of power,
and from whose decision there is no appeal,
that the Constitution is not slave-extending
instrument. No more bred Scott decisions will
be made Freemen. both of the North and the
South. will hereafter be protected in all their
constitutional rights. The rolicy ofthe govern
ment as of old. will now set in favor of freedom,
ard not for the supremacy of slavery. as has
been the case for the last seven years Free
dem will henceforth be the law of the terrific
ries because the people in their majesty have
SO decided, and neither courts nor Congress
will be able to thwart their will.
When full effect shall have been given 10 all
these great measures of the Republican party,
and the prejudices engendered against it in the
minds of many by the artful appeals Of demu-
gogues who have misrepresented its objects.
shall have been removed by actual knowledpe
of it's acts we may expect the bitterness Of par
ty spirit to subside. the cry Of disunion TO be
hushed, and the principles Of Repubieanism TO
become the permanent policy Of the government
under which it will flourish and prosper, as 1
trust, forever. ef

scientific circles of France, Hypnotism is
produced by causing the patient to look

hypnotism is not safe Nj. Giraud Terlon
says that lady whom he hypnotizcd
made so free with his confidence. that he
for fear of grave results to her, was obliged
to wake her. He thinks that loss of free
will and conscience, with the preservation
of memory, the passions, aud the power Of
speech, does not make up desirable state.
A very singular experiment has been often
repeated in France 1t consists in max
ing chalk line along the floor, and plac
ing hen whose hcak also has been viii
tened with chalk in the axis of the line aud
nearly touchingit. She soon sinks into the
most complete hypnotic sleep, accompanied
by insensibility and catalepsy; by blow
ing gently on her eyes she is awakened,
and inimedlatly shakes bcrself, faps her
wings, and runs away with much squawk-
