SPECIAL NOTICES.
Living Machine.


Injure the handspring of a watch and every
portion of the works becomes disordered. The
human stomach is to the human system what
that elastic piece of metal is to a chronometer.
II influences the action of the other organs, and
controls, to certain extent, the whole living
machine. The comparison may be carried fur
ther: for as the weakness of other imperfections
of the main spring Is indicated on the face Of the
time-piece, so also is the weakness or other dis
order of the stomach betrayed on the face of the
invalid. The complexion is sallOw or faded, the
eyes are deficient In lustre and intelligence, and
there is worn, anxious expression in the whole
countenance which tell as plainly as written
words could do, that the great HOUrishinO organ
whose Office it is to minister to the wants of the
body, and to sustain and renew all Its parts, Is
not performing Its duty. II requires renovating
and regulating, and to accomplish this end Hos
tetter's Stomach Bltters may be truly said to be
the one thing needJUL The broken main spring
of a watch may be replaced by new one, but
the stomach can only be repaired and strength
ened, and this is one of the objects of the famous
vegetable restorative which for eighteen years
has been waging q successful contest with dys-
pepsia in all climates AS specific for indges-

powerful, stomachic effects q permanent cure.
In all cases of dyspepsia the liver is more or less
disordered, and upon this important gland, as
well as upon the stomach and bowels, the Bit

The New App0ftionmcnt.

We assume that the Senate will not seri
ously-or, at least, successfully-attempt
to override the decision of the House that,
for the next decade, the number of Repre-
sentatiyes in Congress shall be two huns
dred and seventy.6ve, with srch additions
only as the admission Of new States may,
from time to time, involve. These will
hardly exceed five in all, or one each from
Utah, Montana, Idaho, Wyoming and Da.
kota, as they shall severally be admitted.
i've assume that New Mexico will be adj
mitted at this session, so that her member
will be of the 275.
In the following table, we present, l..
The total population of each State, as re-.
turned by the census of 1860; 2. The esti-
mated population of each State according
to the census about TO be taken; 3. The
number of its present Representatives in
Congress; 4. The number to which it will
probably be entitled under the new census.
We think this will vary but one each from
the actual number in any case, and not at
all in most instances:

The recent convention of farmers at
Bloomington, ILL.,, to consider the subject Of
extortionate charges by railroads for car
yying the products of farming industry, was
largely attended by practical and earnest
men, and undoubtedly will be productive Of
beneficial results. As the indication of
concerted. and harmonious action by the
great and powerful agricultural interest Of
the north west, it is especially hopeful. Mo-
nopolies cannot stand against the farming
interes. If the influence of the latter is eff
GENTLY and judiciously bre ught to bear on
the subject of the abuses complained of.
Railroads may manipulate legislators, but
they cannot long hoodwink and override the
people. This convention is an evidence
that the farmers are beginning to take an
intelligent and practical view of the situa-
ton and # their own strength. 1t will be
followed by others, until public opinion
enforced by unpurchasable legislation will
compel the oppressive monopolies to moder.
ate their demands, and to relinquish the as
sumption that they are beyond the control
Of the laws. A convention Of similar char.
ac.er and with like objects, is already talk
ed Of in Iowa. Although it would have
been more appropriate and its influence
more productive of results, if held before the
late session Of the Legislature, it will never
theless afford an opportunity for the ez'
preston of public opinion regarding the &C
ton Of that body concerning railroad char
ges, aud We hope it will be called,
