OF The Democratic members Of the Legislature of this
State, preference for the last named period wos
expressed, and Baltimore was recommended as the

Legislative convention. For our own part we have
frequently expressed opinion favorable TO the ear
hest period for selecting the Democratic candidate

Ingenious Inrention-A Washington correspondent
of the New York Aurora thus describes an invention
which is in operation in the former city
There has been lately constructed at the national
arsenal here conrvance for testing the strength OF
powder by the reco of heavy ordnance and the mo-
mentum of the shot, which is truly admirable in IFS
way. will try to convey to you some idea Of this
valuable invention. thirty-two FOUNDER is suspend
ed by iron pendulum ten twelve feet long, at
the top Of which is heavy bar of the metal,
the exiremities of which upon smooth iron plates
which sustained by strong abutments Of stone
Underneath the gun is placed segment of circle,
regularly graduated, upon which piece of iron
slides, the upper part coming in contact with the
gun.
When the cannon is discharged, this piece of metal
is pushed by the recoi, along the scale and indicates
exactly the extent of The vibration of the pendulum
Opposite the above, at the distance of abou, sixty
feet is similar continuance, which, instead of a
gun, is provided with a receiver, resembling large
mortar, filled with sand. The ball in passing from
tie enters the mouth of this mortar and
causes il to recoil, thus indicating the manner be-
fore described, the velocity force with which the
shot is projected You will see at once that two I'M
portan points are thus ascertained TO wit the dis
lance which gun will recoil with given charge,
and the force with which ball Of a given weight
can be thrown with certain quantity Of powder
This il is believed is the only dyyneter Of the kind
in this country, and should you, any of your read
ers, visi, Washington, is well worthy Of visit.
