WEDNESDAY EVENING. JAN. %, 1858

THE SENAroR-ELEcrf from Mary laDd,
when in Congress, voted for the force
bill, by which whole States, and hun
dreds of districts and counties OF tAa
South would have been made SUBJECT
to negro domination. 1t was caiehi
owing to the insn whose seat he WILL
take in the Senate that that bill was
defeated, and the people of the South
preserved from both moral and ma-
tsrial injury. And yet the boilers
alone OF Maryland, made it possible
that Mr.. McComas could have defeated
Senator German. But by doing SO
they prevented the restoration OF silver
coinage and thereby increased tenn
porarily, the value OF their gold, bonds
aud stocks. The democrats OF Mary
laud may forgive the tolters, but that
many of those in other States will not,
goes without saying.

The Situation in the Far East.

LONDON, Jan. 26.-The newspapers
here comment on French, Russian and
German reinforcements going to the far

"Hsppily Great Britain has the coun-
tenance insI cad of the hostility of the
United States. But the japanese navy
is factor of uncertain value" Ap az
article in the Pull Mall Gazette says:
"If the position is really critical, we
run a grave risk in leaving our fleet
weak. IL fact we prepare for an open
contest by retrograde movements"

AS IN Ohio, so in Maryland, the az
ministration took charge of the Sens-
torial election and compelled the re-
publican members of that body to vote
for its candidate, aad against the candi-
date of the republicans OF the largest
city in the State. There is no doubt
that the spirit of the Constitution, like
every thing else in this country, las
been changed, and that now the ad
ministration not only controls the ex-
ecutive, but the legislative and judi
cial branches of the government also.

PRESIDENT Dole OF Hawaii, who
has come to Washington to promote
the annexation of his country by the

opposed to giving the right OF citizen
ship to the Japanese and Chinese resi-
dents of Hawaii. But every body ex-
cept Mr.. Dole knows that the Chinese
aud Japanese are better qualified for
American citizenship than the maj ority

disease, another from livor or kidney
disease, another from nervous exhaustion
or prostration, another with pain here

going and indifferent, or ovcr-busy doe
tor, separate and distinct diseases, for
which h" nroscr:;;"s his pills aid p0ttona
assuming them to bo such, whom, in
reality, thoy arc only symptoms caused
by some womb disease. Tho physician
ignorant of tho cause Of suffering, on
couragcs his practice until largo bills arc
made. Tho suffering patient gots no
bcttor, but probably worse, by reason of
tho delay, wrong treatment and conso-
qucnG complications. A proper modi-

entirely removed tho disease, thereby
dispolling all those distressing symp-
toms, and instituting comfort instead of
prolonged misery. ....
