The person who brought us the following
certificate, has never been Lieut.. Gov.
nor owned ships, or rope walks, but has
been a soldier in the revolutionary army
under Washington, and perhaps is enti-
tied to be heard as much as any great
man, though he never undertook to sub.
vert empires or teach kings wisdom.
The certificate is not sworn to, as the
signer had no District Attorney at his el

This great p"obism has engaged the
attention Of Mathena,i,ians and Me-
chanics, for upwards Of two thousand
wears. Like the search after the Phiio-
sophers stone, when it has happened to
present itself to All ardent and enthusl-
astic mind, the consequence frequently
has been, an entire abstraction trem all
other pursuits, aud in Hany instances
The ruin OF the individual. and the total

search after perpetual motion, by enlist
ing men of enthusiastic genius in the
cause of Mechanical science, has been
productive Of useful inventions and iGn-.
provemcnts in Mechanics, and there is
no good reason to doubt. that it may be
productive of many more. So far, At
least, it is beneficial to society And
even if the ultimate object Of research,'
should forever ela,ie enquiry, We ought
to encourage and reward those who in
the pursuit of it, discover any new and
useful application Of known powers in
Mechanics.
Under the influence of sentiments like
these-~iLh large share OF incret.uilty
but still larger share of curiosity, We
visited and curiousiy examined the Ma.
chine erected by Mr.. RedhcHer, at
Chesnut Hill Il is commonly denomi-
mated, " Tie Prrke'uu! Moti>n," that is,
it is represented as machine, having
the principle of its motion within itself,
and the Only point to be ascertainsd is,
whether il is really such machine.
Upon this question, we do not feel
ourselves qualified to form judgment.
Some, We know, believe the whole affair
to be deception, and that the motion is
really produced Ivy an external agent,
kept out of view. We have heard, Of
such ali opinion being expressed by per-
sons who had never seen the Machine,
AID who, oi course, must have been led
to that way OF thinking by arguments
drawn from the general laws OF motion
and of matter, or BY an impression that
what hid SO long been sought for in
vain could never be discovered. The
suspicious of such men 1t would be dit
foul. to remove. Blu. we would advise
them. and all the curious, to see the in
vention and the machine-abd make
themselves acquainted with the charac-
ter Of both
AS to the inventor, Mr.. Rcdhefar, it
seems hardly conceivable, that he Should
have. devoted eleven or /" Give years Of
his life 10 the accomplishment of a de-
ceptioG, especially, as he must know that
it would inevitably be detected.
As to the measure, without proneunc-
ing positively upon it, we are free to
say, that we see nothing; in It's mode Of
operation at all inconsistent or irrecon,
cileab!c with lie laws of matter end Of
motion. The principle i. simply All
application Of the power OF gravitatisn,
in such way that the action can never
terminate--in other words, the pressure
of a weight that Can never descsnd-.he
movement of 4 common clock is produc-
cd by the power Of gravitation, or what
is called, = the weight" Bat the weight
continually deacends, and when i, has
reached the bottom Of the Case, or eX.
hausled the Chain, 1t requires new APP
plicatioa Of eX.crna) power, OF what Is
called winding up. Now if clock could
be so contrived that the weight should
constantly press upon the c!ain, and
imEart momentum TO the works, Win
out descending. the clock would ncvcr
require winding W ana .hereture would
c:.ai5it Z p Pc Ial motion.
Tbs is exactly the principle Of Mr.
nrdAeOtr'@ Machine. It "a = machine
Of grcat sl,npiicl.y and well worthy Of
