adequate to the generation Of rotary motion, that
the power SO generated may be indefnitciy
it may be increased beyond any
limit hitherty attained; probably beyond any
which can be with certainty assigned--and
that it can be generated eheaply and certainly.
This deliberate opinion, formed by prudent,
scientific man, after repeated experiments, and
SO confidently expressed as we find it in the
essay published, ought to be proof sufficient
to satisfy every reasonable mind, that, in the
language of the professor, science has placed in
our hunds a ne,o po,oer Of great but upknowa
energy--a po'0er erery 'chcre d;e'ssed through
nature. The practical use of this power will
effect changes of the most extraordinary de-
scription both by land and sea--water, wind,
and steam, long the useful and obeaient SER
wants of man, if not rendered wholly unneces-
sary as motive agents, will become compare
lively unimportant, and the labor of the world
in the movements of all kinds of machinery
in its agriculture, its transportation, and trav-
soon be principally performed by
the agency of electro magnetism, and the ge-
neral benefit to man will be immense from the
safety and cheapness with which this new a.
gent can be employed.
1t must be obvious that the use of such a
power----so safe, so cheap, SO free from every
thing that could cause annoyance in its use---
will be, to rail roads, an acquisition of im-
mense value--in the reduction ofthe expenses
Of transportation. The costly article Of fuel
with all the annoyances Of sparks, cinders,
tender and water tank, and Of special atten.
dapt to the fire in each engine---will be who'll
ly dispensed with: This saving for one engine
in daily use throughout the year may be rea.
sonahy estimated at three thousand dollars.
And in repairs there will be saving more
than equal to the whole probable expense Of
transportation, and repairs of locomotive,
moved by the newly discovered application Of
power.

the proprietor is aware that he will have many OBJ
stacles to encounter growing out ofthe difficulties
Incident to the settlement of new country, as well
a. that of party dissentons; the former we expect
to be able to surmount by industry and persever-
ance, the latter may, without much liberality on
the part of the people, render the efforts of the
Editor to be useful, entirely unavaling. We will
nevertheless, enter upon the undertaking, and en-
deavor where we cannot please, at least not to
offend; the promotion of the public, as well as our
own interest being our object, and the interest Of
the West generally, we have selected the Town Of
Ripley, as the theatre of our operations. All We
claim, and all we expect is fair and honest sup
port in the labor of our profession.
To furnish the.news of the day in the commercial
and political world; to communicate information
ofthe rapid and extensive diffusion of knowledge:
to promote and uphold the interest of the farmer
merchant and mechanc-will be che leading OBJ
ect. Opposed alike to party intolerance and secta-
rian bigotry, our aim will be, to warn the patriot
ofdangers which may threaten the country; to sug-
gest such measures may be thought best calcula-
ted to advance the permanent interest of our new,
but highly favored country.
On the subject of political affairs, we shall stea-
Oily oppose every association of individuals under
whatever name or disguise, whose object is to re-
strain, by party management, the full expression
of unpreudiced sentiment; we shall advocate the
cause OF pure, unmixed democracy-not that kind
ofdemocracy, which teaches blind and passive
obedance to the dictates of party and partisan lea
ders, without enquirug into the purity of their mo-
tives; but that which teaches the right and capa-
city Of the people themselves, to nominate and
choose their own rulers, and prescribe their own
measures of government, unaided by directions,
and unnhuenced by party leadres.
We shall endeayor to be temperate and respect
full towards political opponents, and to respect the
character and feelings those who may differ with
US in opinion either as to men or measures; we
shall claim the right in respectful manner to crit
icise the professions of such as offer their services
to the public, we shall not deny this right to others
but we will not treat as enemies, and as unworthy
ofpublic confidence, such as differ with us in opn
ion, and pers,oe high-minded and honorable course
