STUDY OF POLITICS.

1t has been Justly remarked, that no topic
can be more interesting than that which re-
lateS to the Improvement OF human society.
Political institutions are objects OF universal
concern. and are calculated 10 excite the
most ardent solitude. The general happi-
ness essentially requires. that the authority
of civilgovernment aud the rights ofthe peo-
pie. should be equally established upon solid
and rational principles.
1t is our privilege tolive under the lnflu-
ence ola sys,em peculiarly excellent; a syS-
tenn that will stand the test OF the most scru-
tiuizing investigation. If we compare the
political establishments of the United States
with those of anv other age or nation, with
out partially. we may pronounce that our
institutions are entitled 10 decided prefer
ence.
Bound. as we are. 10 our country by the
most sacred and endearing relations, it is our
perpetual duty thoroughly 10 understand and
unremittinglv labor to promote Its highest
interests. Public liberty is the greatest
blessing of the social state, the most invalua-
hle attribute ofour civil Constitution. Free
dom of speech and of opinion is not only
necessary TO the preparation of civil liberty,
but indiSpenSablv requisite 10 the happiness
of man, considered rs Il moral and mteilectu-
al being. To %cuforce and advocate these
incstimable rights. should lie the primary OBJ
ject Of those who aspire 10 have IN agency
in our public affairs.
Without an accurate aud comprehensive
view of its elementary principles, we can
never become the masters ofany branch of
knowledge; the few ideas we may happen To
possess, will be loose. vague. evaneScent,
and unconnccted; we are unable to reflect
with accuracy, 20 reason with %perspecuritv
or energy; Politics, like, every other SCI
ence. is founded in certain primary and cs-
tablished principles; TO these 1t is always
necessary 10 resort whenever any question
Of doubt arises. rs they constitute the founda-
lion upon which the superstructure is erect
ed.
The science OF government is iounded up
on peculiar and appropriate principles. Con-
sidered as q branch of the subject of morals,
we can reason with correctness and certain

extensive science of ethics, the theory of So
cicty, and the philosophy of political institu-
tions, are entitled to the highest consldera-

JEFFERSON Cry. January IA. 1841.
DEAR SIR. Some debate took place this
morning on the subject of new Countless
-Four icderalIsts made their report as Il mi
nority of the committee. Mr.. Parsons pro-
bounced the representation that they were
the minority to be incorrect. lie dlssented
himself from the views of the majority in re-
gard TO the number of counties proper to be
created. but had not been consulted at all in
the preparation of this report. On motion
of Mr. Thompson, the report was laid on the
table.
Mr.. Coulter has presented a bill providing
for the call ola convention To amend the State
Constitution. He proposes that the people
shall decide on the first Monday in August
upon the question of 'coDventIon" or 'no
convention;'' and if they decide tovorably.
the Governor shall order an election for
delegates. &C.; also, that the new Constltu-
ton shall be submitted to the people for their
ratification or rejection.
Mr.. II. Smith moved to reject the bull,
stating in substance, rs his reason. that the
Constitution had already provided the means
for amending the Constitution. and no other
means were proper or constitutional. He
thought a convention at this time lnexpedlent
as there were too many conflicting opinions
amongst us, coming, as we do, from various
States governed by dissimilar political sys-
TENS, to frame a new Constitution. 1t was
better to leave the matter to our children,
who would have Missouri feelings. prejudlces

REMARKABLE INVENTION. A Journey
nan clock-makcr in the ncighbOrhood of
Iiavrc, is taking measures to secure pa
tent for "A discovery, which, if it really
leads to the results announced by the in
vcntor. must bring about sudden and
complete revolution in horoloSy. The
invention of our fcllowcitizcn consists in
this: we cannot, of course, speak of the
process; this is the property of the inven-
tor. NJ has changed entirely the me-
chanism of watches, pendulums and clocks
he has SO simpificd that the price of these
machincs must submit to reduction of
fifty per cent on the present price, and
will then furnish great profit to the man
uiacturer. The simplifying process, and
the consequent reduction of price, is not
the only advantage of this discovery. An
other still more valuable is the method of
making lady's watch 90, without being
wound up during whole year, a gentle
mans watch during three years pendul-
um of mddlng size twenty years, and
public clock, for space of two hundred
and eighty years, and following an inverse
progression.
M manufactures watches of so small
"A size that they can be fixed as the seal Of
ring, and will require to be wound up
but once in fifteen days. A watch of this
kind will cost but fifteen francs. One
worn by the empress Marie Louise on the
lorc-fingcr of her left hand, was jewel,
the preparation of which did not cost less
than $50, 900 francs. The watches made
! by NJ can only be wound up by himself
or those acquainted with the secret of his
patent. They are enclosed in a case her.
metically sealed, and have nomore thick
ness than common watch. The fear of
exposing himself to ndscrect solicitations,
compcls him to maintain great secrecy as
| to his process. We must add, that ac-
cording to the process of this inventor,
the striking of bells cannot he connected
with the clock-work which he manuiac-
lures.
