Invented by Messrs. Ty lers and Andrews
ot this town; and the result OF several
experiments satisfied all present, that it

OF wheat in an hour. The lbor OF
threshing and cleaning is performed III
the most perfect manner--not a kernal
of wheat could be found in the beads,
after passage through the mill. Every
particle OF dust and chat is separated
from the grain and blown away, and the
straw is cut into pieces about four inches
in length. The machine is kept in mo-
ton by two horses, and requires dr-
yer and four men TO tend it. Messrs
Tylers have been engaged for three OF

you had not told us piain farmers in wha
manner il would be to our advantage.

admit slavery into the state. | wish as
heartily as any man for the prosperity
of the Saline in Gallatin county, but

that slaves should be admitted in the

A case has occurred in tho adminis.
tratlon OF the government OF this state,
the facts relating 10 which we will alone
lay before our readers at present. l, is
pretty generally known, that the Cover
nor and Lieutenant Governor OF Mis-
souri, are both absent from the state al
this time, and that consequ entity their OF
hces have become vacated according 10
The constitution. Governor M.Nair has
gone to Praire du CHEM Gin Michigan
and Lieutenant Governor Ashley is up
The Missouri, with his hunters.--The
next person, in regular succession, to
I'LL the office, would be The President o.

Gov. NJ Mar mas delivered ii over to
Benjamin. Emmons, Esq. WAC imme-
diaiely entered upon the discharge oil the
duty. But the Sneaker Of the House Of
Representatives, Henry S. Geyer, Esq.
denies the correctness Of this procedure,
and contends that the Office necessarily
deyolyes upon himself, because MIR.
Emmons is not now President, pro tenn
pore, the Senate having failed OF neglect
ed to 60 into a Reelection Of that office
after the Lieu enant Governor had re-
turned and taken his seat al the last ses-
sion. Mr. Geyer therefore insisted that
as there is in fact no President, pro tenn
pore, and he being the Sneaker, that no
other person can constitutlonally adml-
mister the government until the return OF
the Governor or Lieutenant Governor.
He relies upon the practice which is OBJ
served in the Senate of the U. States, to
show that Mr.. Emmons is no, now Presi-
dent, pro teInpore, Of the Senate Of Mis-
seuri. We understand that he will 60
to ST. Charles in day or two, to demand
the seals, SC. oil office. 1t is hoped,
however, the public interest may not
suffer by this state Of things, and that the
people will acl coolly and cautiously on
the occasion. Enquirer.

alter they had accomplished their pur-
pose, and burning old rags stuffed with

they are ashamed of tie conduct of the

afraid their cause will finally fail, and of

count, that the business has been over
acted, very badly managed indeed. You
should have cautioned them particularly,
not to LEI their intentions be known; and
not only conceal them, bat entirely 10
disclaim all thoughts of any such thing.
You should have taught them to argue
on the other side, and appear to be very
jealous too, for fear the people should
take the alarm.
