NAVIGATING THE AIR.

II Is said thata man in France has sue
ceeded IN navigating the atmosphere with
balloon, lacking and running in s.lhe
precision and speed of a Baltimore Clip
per. This is very well, but has he not sto-
len the invention from this side of the At
lantic? In the west, the people were as
founded al the construction of Steam
Eagle" which vas immediatel Y followed
by the famous "Steam Duck" heretofore
noticed-and more recently by the Steam
Dolphin"-to say nothing of another in
ventor who has prayed Congress for aid
TO enable him to 60 sin the heavens above
or in the waters under the earth" The
Steam Dolphin'' is by townsman, pro-
tessor John II. Pennington; who. if he sue
coed in navigating the air, may calculate
on having us as passengers on his twen-
tieth trip We think that the French man
must have heard of some Of these inven-
tons, and taken advantage Of the ingenu-
ity Of our countrymen. Hereafter we
may expec. to have aerial journeys per-
formed with as much safety as those on
terra frma-and perhaps the battles of nd
tons may in future be fought in the at
mosphere We live in glorious age,
when men can stake the wings of the
morning and soar to the uttermost parts
of the earth," and mesmerized women can
visit the various planets Of the universe
aud chat familarly with their inhabitants.
$50 says Doctor Collyer as to the latter
fact.) If these things were not so strong
" vouched for, we should deem them
humbugs-- hut as we have the evidence
of DR.. Collycr that his mesmerized lady
speeds from planet to planet before one
can say "lack misunderstanding
with spirits in the Moon this second; CO.
quoting with the men in the Sun in the
next; and in the third standing on the
shoulders and whispering in the ears Of
the giants forty feet high Of Jupiter
how can we refuse our credence to these
marvels? Astronomers aud philosophers
may thrown aside their books and instru-
ments, for we shall have all the mysteries
of nature developed through that potent
agent, mcsmerism.- Steam Dolphins
to convey us through the air-Mesmer-
ism to transport us 10 the planets-and
Mormonism to send us finally to Heaven;
it cannot be denied that we live in hap
py age, and ought to be contented reo-
Pile. we want, however, one more in
vention to complete our happiness, viz:
mode to pay state debts without the levy
of taxes. He who has the ingenuity TO
accomplish that, shall take precedence.

The NoMIy ATIoN.-ll Unnecessary for
us to say at this time but word in re-
gard to the ticket nominated on Wednes-
day last. The unanimous action of the
Convention shows the extended popular
ity of the gentlemen who compose it, and
gives an earnest Of the zest with which it
will be supported. Without meaning
any disparagement to any member of the
party, we say without hesitation that a
stronger ticket could not have been named
in the county. The candidate for sheriff
cannot be beaten. For long time has
that Office been held by locofocos, and it
cannot but be gratifying to wings to see
the bright prospect Of filling it with one
of their own party.

Kin to the love OF mother fox her child,
but il a Plain Man" has read his article
a second time with sober second thoushl,'
and does not hate it, then we doubt his com-
mon sense as much as we doubt. his whig
principles. 1t consisted of vile and un.
principled attack upon Mr.. Clay, impeach'
ing his honesty, calling his patriotism hy-
pocrisy, and charging him With dema-
gogueism, because he resigned his place
in the senate; charges as false, as his Ell
forts to sustain them, are weak and pitiul.
Does not the country know that every
movement made by Henry Clay in the
Senate, that every measure advocated by.
him, was opposed with desperation by his
political enemies. And why? Because
they wished TO destroy his well-carned
popularily-because they wished to de-
feat his measures which were calculated
to relieve suffering country--then TO
charge the wing party with not redeem
ing its promises, aud thus by strategy
raise themselves to prelerment, while they
lowered the people into greater embarrass-
mants. Mr.. Clay saw their determine
tore. and with mognanimity seldom ex'
cecded, he gave up his station in the Sem
ale hall, where he had rendered more ser
vice that any other man who ever sat
there.
We recollcct an anccdote of skeptc
who had devoted a score of his best years
to writing book against the Bible. Be-
ing brou ght down near 10 death, he sent
for priest, to whom he complained Bit
terly Of the crime he had committed in
writing his book, saying it had ruined him
and he wa,atraid it would ruin more. The
prizes, told him that he might make his con-
science easy, shat!is book was never read,
and that if it was, it was loo weak and dis
gushing TO do any injury, whereupon the dy-
ing man heaped cursings upon him and sent
him away. Regardless of the displeasures
Of the '.P lain Man" we can assure him, that
like the skeptic's book, his studiedly ma
licious statement has caused trouble only
in the brain that engendered it--and like
it, is harmless and unread. Nor has the
Plain Man's' statement been more detri-
mental 10 Mr.. Clay, than was the skcptic's
book to religions laws. The one will
command the respect of the world while
he lives, and his name will be a noble ex-
anple-a beacon light to statesmen
through all future time; the other will
continue to cast benign influence over
society, to elevate the hearts of men above
sordiA sefshncss, and to cheer their way
through the troubles oflife.
