The Innocence Of the sub- Treasury

The Innocence Of the Sub Treasury
scheme admitted Jy the Whig.-The Rich
mond Wing, entleavorins 10 persuade MIR.
Wilson OF Cumberland that there is moth
ing essential in The Sub Treasury to sepa-
rate him from Whisgery, says:
The Sub. Treasury Scheme-a mere
child of Legislation, which may be tried
one year and discarded the next, and
which, 10 try, or not to try al all, does not
Infringe upon the Consliution-docs moi,
unless by indiscretion, nor of necessity,
touch those radical questions either of
principle, or any honest practical admins
'ralion of the government, which as they
are favorably or unfavorablv resolved, de-
lermine The problem Of our experiment
in free Government"
This is exactly true of the measure pro
posed by The Administration. If the Gov
ernment caunOl get along in the manage
ment of its finances without the Bank
power, the attempt heing "tried one year
may he discarded the next" and this does
not "infriuge upon the Constitution."-
But how is it with the scheme of the
Wings and Conservatives? Break down
the preseur Republican Administration
and install Henry Clay. Then we have
a National Bank of unlimited powers es-
iablished-fiIiy millions capital-5O years
in every State. The
Constitution is infriuged, and irrepeaIahIe
vested rights fastened like yoke, OH the
country. which cannon ''be Tried one year
aud discarded the next" This is the
state of the case which makes Mr.. VIII
sons difference with the Wings essential.

INGENIOUS INvENTIoN.-By the com
mon mode Of taking a cast Of the Human
Face, or Form, the weigh, and construc-
ton Of the wei plaster not only renders
the process disagreeable, but imperfect,
especially in representing the features: for
the muscles of the face become rigid, and
the physognomical expression of plaster
mask is sullen aud painful in consequence.
These defects are entirely obviated by the
new machine, which consists of a vertical
disc whose suface is composed Of an al
most innumerable quantity Of very fine
steel wires or needles, as close together as
the hairs of brush. moving in two plates
perforated with corresponding number
OF holes, with go much ease that the points
yield 10 the slightest pressure. Into this
surface the face is gently pushed and by a
most simple and ingenious contrivance the
whole Of the needles are in an instant fixed
securely their surface presenting concave
mould of the face. Rlaster is then poured
in, the wires being so close that the liquid
cannot escape between them, and when set
hard, working mould is taken from it, in
which other casts are made. So instan,a-
neous is the operation, and so delicate the
construction ofthe mechanism, that the
face of o crying child is taken with all its
muscular contortions, and were any per-
son to keep open his eyes, the eyehall
would not be injured, and stiff beard of
two days growth would be marked in the
cast.
