Edwards and others, whom the then Secretary
organised into PARTY, to put down and destroy
Mr.. Crawford in the West. The ST. Louis En-

the veil over this transaction, but will, III due
time. make every man stand out upon the can
vass: Mr.. Crawford was sxecrated IN the
States north of the Ohio, which he had saved by
his wise and liberal measures: Gov. Edwards
was nominated as Minister 10 Mexico--fhe BE-
no,e could take him; and Mr.. Duff Green, the E
di,or was nominated 10 an Office in Missouri,
which he ''neither wanted nor sought for'-out
the Senate could not go n-There is more OF this
which will come TO the light. Now hear him:
"Thcn be it Known" says he, "that, although
the follower Of no man, the General is ali ad-
mirer of the Vice President" and that ne adj
mires that iaferi6le dategrity, which exalts him
above the bargain, intrigue, management ana
corruption of this administration. Yes, he is
exalted very far absUs them in all these great
qualities. j shall speak hereafter OF the great
abilities Of the Vice President, at bargain, at
an intrigue, of his management, &c.-l shall do
Justice to those talents, which, having put down
Crawford and the Caucus, and buried them in
the same grave; now throwing spell over the
friends Of both; holding them by the power oil
facinarion, and gradually drawing them lnvo-
UNFAIRLY to him.
Will the world be at loss to understand how
General Duff Green-not being the follower 81
anu naan-came to Washington, to edit an oppo-
sition paper? How and by whom that paper,
the only one in market, was bought?-Why the
General, admiring the inferi6le integrity OF the
Vice-President, man, not novice, may also
understand?-Why the assertion, "that Govern
or Edwards is the warm friend of MIR Adams
is perfectly gratuitous?"-He tools doubtful.
I do not wish 70 hurt the General, who is GER
tainly very harmless. would not notice him,
but as the associate Of great man, and the or
gan of party.-I may never notice him again.
This is truly the age Of inventions, and il
moicty of the discoveries in the mechanic arts
were only proved to be valuable, a state OF per-
lection might be considered near at hand. A
newly invented, and of course patented Coach,
has been recently exhibited in London, which
attracted much attention, and il the account OF
it be true, promises to be Of vast utility for post
coaches and other vehicles Of class liable 10
be overturned on bad roads. The following is
a description of it, from London paper
"The novelty consists in the coach being |
hung from, in place of resting upon, horizon
tai springs; and, in its being so suspended In
the centre, that it will swing from side to side,
independent of the wheels, by moving upon
.eements Of circles attached to the crossing |
springs, so that if the wheels on the one side
should mount upon an eminence which might |
upset an ordinary coach, the body OF this VIII
in maintaining its perpendicular position,
swing to the higher side and by thus keeping
considerable weight still on the high wheels,
prevent it from overturning. The same Prin-
ciple will operate, should wheel accidentally
come off This is desideratum OF great I'M
portance, to the travelling public. The springs
on which the vehicle is hung are attached 10
iron supporters, rising considerable height a.
bove the axles These springs are nearly con-
cealed under the coachmans and guards seats,
and the supporters are so contrived as to be Or
The whole is very neatly fitted up, !
and those who have ridden in it speak highly
of it its agreeable motion. The experiment
was made, whether the coach would upset, II
the two wheels on one side were removed; and
the result was, TO the surprise and qualification
of the spectators, that the coach still maintain
ed its equilibrium, though resting one side on
the points Of the axles.
Mr.. Roosevelt Saltonstall has given a lecture
in N. York on the self-moving power ofia wheel,
viii CHI will generate its own power, and revolve,
for the purposes Of the mechanic world; the
simplicity Of which is easy to the smallest ca
pacity. Mr. S. is confident that he will be
more successful in his project than Mr. Red
heffer was.
