Printing PreSs.--I stated some time
ago that | had completed a small steam
press, or press TO work with lever pow
err, and with sufficient rapidly to produce
2,oOQ impressions per hour, but could
not discover satisfactory mode Of sup
plying my ink rollers, and solicited h
cooperation Of some of my yankee br
rem. a Mr.. w. II Hale, who halls,
understand, from Bosom, and is a silver
smith. called upon me and soon removed
the difficulty by The formation of an ink
trough which supplying one rollar, com
m'nica,es the ink rapidly to the other
roller; and atter short time my mode !
was complete, and is so simple and eff
caclous, and works with SO much ease,
net SEQ impressions may be thrown
oil III the hour; and by the introduction
Of heavy fly wheel, the press is worked
b. a crank, and with the labor Of one
aand and two boys TO feed the cylinder
With paper-thus superceding the ne.
cessry of steam, water or horse power.
Mr., II ale shall share the prof S OF the
invention, for which caveat is entered
and | have no doubt that it will super
sede all other presses, as the cost will be
very reasonable.

TO state, that as far as our knowledge OF

this state is sickly, is certainly erroneous.

We are happy to be able to state, that Co.
vernon Troup of Georgia, has, by a late des
patch, informed the President of the United
States of his determination not to attempt the
survey of the ceded Indian lands, which he
was authorized by an act of the Legislature of
the state to have made as early as he should
deem 1t advisable. In adopting this course
Governor Troup has not disappointed our ex-
pectaiions; and the affair will now, of course,
rest quietly, until the meeting of Congress,
and OF the Legislature of Georgia.

For could Mr.. Cook be rendered ever so un.
popular elsewhere, we apprehend it could have
little bearing on an election which must be
made by the citizens at home.
The writer is most absurdly erroneous, in
insinuating that the presses here were too
much shackled to admit the insertion of such
toast. Setting aside the fact that there is
press devoted to the party which opposes Mr..
Cook, We will venture to say, that no editor,
friendly to that gentleman, would have hest
tated one moment to publish it-and thereby
expose at once the violence and weakness of
those who are his enemies. In short we al.
most suspect it TO be the work of some wag,
who wished to make the toaster appear ridicu-
lous, and, at the same time, to shew the stuff
Of which opposition is made in Illinois. If SO,
we must express our unqualified disapproba-
ton of the measure, as tending to degrade the
state in the eyes of our political brethren.

sequently known to your views on some i'm
poltant political subjects with which mine en-
tlrel, concide, i have thought il would not
be amiss to say to you that there is manifested
a disposition in the Editors of this country to
conceal the real feelings Of the people of this

morally felt towards their unworth, Repre- sen.
tatige, which has indeed not been so Loudly
expressed by one half as it ought to be, TO en-.
able you or any other person foreign to the
State, to judge fits magnitude, But to give
you an idea OF the sentiments as they are about
bursting forth, although much cramped BY the
lessons of morality and acquiescence that are
daily attempted TO be taught, IS also the for
bearance which is ever observed on the fourth
of July, from political matter interfering with
the celebration Of the people-the following
toast was drank
