TO.vf.h Do Too Mrcn at a Timf..?Sir Ed
ovarii Uulwer l.vtton, in a lactitre rei*?*nily delivered
in Kiigland, gave the following history
of hi* literary hahila:
Many persons seeing me so much enirnired in
o/>l ll'A lif?* . ?'! ? * 1
,?r, mill Ui IUIIL'11 IIIHIII1 UK' Wlll'hl ft* if ,
I liatl never been a student. have ?aid to me: '
When do you g.-t time 10 writeall your book-? I
llnw on earth do you contrive to do so much
work!' 1 shall surprise you by the answer 1
make. Tlie answer in tin*: 'I contrive to do
so much by never doinir too mueli at. n tune.
A man, to get through work well, must not
overwork lnnmlt ; or, il lie do too much today.
the re-action of fntigiie will come, ami lie
will lie obliged to <lo little to-morrow. Now
since 1 begun renIIv ami earnestly to study,
which was not till i had left college, and was actually
mi the world. 1 nmy perhap* cay that 1
hive gone through us laige a com se of general
reading a* most men of my time. 1 have Irav
eled much, ami 1 have seen much; I have
mixed much in politics, ami in the various
business of life: ami in addition to this. 1 have
published somewhere about sixty volumes,
tome upon subject* requiring much research.
And what time do you think, as a general rul?*,
Iihave devoted to study?to reading and writing?
Not more than three Imur* a day ; and,
when Parliament is sitting, not always that.
But then, during these hours, I have given my
vriiuie auuiHion to what i was about.
Defeat of the Personal Liberty Bill.
The Legislature of Xew York says t lie'7our*
nal of Commerce, have donu one good tiling
and we will give tlieni the credit ol it; thai id
o many of them aa assisted in the enterprise,
?we mean, the strangling of the Nulliticutiiifl
Bill,.called by its friends the Personal Liberty
Bill; the design of wliiuh waft, to nullify a law
of Congress, Enacted to carry out a solemn stipulation
of the National Compact. Every Democratic
vote, we ara proud to eay,uas given
against the Ltill, and also 21 votes by Hepulili
cans and Americans ; thus making dp a sufficient
number td-eave our State from Hie disgrace
whioh wa* impending over it. But still
it is to t>e remembered, that a large majority
of the Kepublioans went for the Bill, and that
it would have passed into a law, had it not
I>mo manfully resisted by the small number of
Doftecratf elected to Abe Assembly.

The speech presents an nhlo review i?f the lend
'n? P'diticnl questions of the day, nnd will he ^
rend with interost. It denounces tin* SqiMtter ,
Sovereignty doctrines of Spiintnr Douglass, and I
urges the necessity of Congrt smoiiu! interven-. 1
tiou to provide for the protection of slave pro
perty in the territories. Congressional nnn- |
intervention, menus no more limn thu' Con i
gross shnll not legislate slavery into or out of '
n terri torv. The Democratic party has ever
lenie-l this right to Congress ; ami on what ,
prj ofiud can it justify it* exercise hy a Territo- I
rial Legislature?the mere creature of Con- j
cr*M ? The Kansas Legislature has undertaken
to prohibit slavery, and in thus setting at j
nought the Constitution, and the decision of (
the Supreme Court, it has imposed upon Con- i
gr?'?j the neceiwiiy of pussim; such laws a* will j
lie necessary for catrying out the provision* of ,
the Cjnrttitiition. C?nijresi? has passed a fuiri- <
live slave law to protect Muve property from <
the action of the State Legislature?and much 1
more is it competent to protcot the rights of j
the citizen in the Territories. i
The address allude* to the increasing dangers
to the South from the Slavery agitation, 1
and the increase of taxation, and denounces I
the Homestead Bill, the Pacifio Railroad '
schemes, and the Mexican Protectorate, as so t
many abolition schemes. <

The Liver is one of the principal regula

tystetu are fully developed. The stomach is
allnost entirely dependent on the healthy

ol I lie proprietors liai* made it his study, in
a practice of more than twenty years, to
c liiid some reinedy wherewith to counteract
J i lie iiiiiny derangements to which it is liotde.
^ To prove ilint this remedy is ?t last found,
any person imuweii with the Liver Complaint,
in any of its forms, lias to try & bottle,
mid conviction is certain.
OTIu'i?e Gums remove all morbid or bad
matter from the system, supplying in their

the stomach, t'liuiiiiig food to digest well,
purif\iiig the blood, giving tone and health
to the whole machinery, removing the causa

jX* Bilious attacks are cured. and wh >t is
better, prevented, by the occasional usu oj

f-\ One dose utter eating is sufficient to re,,
lieve the stomach and prevent the food from
arising and souring
Only one dose taken before retiring, prevents

Only one dose taken at night, loosens the
bowels griitly, and cures Costivenera.

while one close often repented is a sure cure
for Cholera Morbus, and a preventive of

TJ) 83f Only one bottle is needed to throw
out of the svstem the effect* of medicine after
a long sivkness.
POf- One hot t ie t aken for Jaundice removes
all sallow tiers or unnatural color from,

pH Oue dose taken a short time before eatingizivrs

One dose often repeated cures Chronic
