late London paper states that trial Of the Great
Northern steamer propelled by the Archimedean
screw, was recently made in the Thames, under UNI
proPltous weather and against opposing tide which
considered quite unsuccessful The report says:
She screwed her way steadily along, occasioning
hardly any surge, and obviously presenting grand
subject for wonderment TO the Of the
vessels, working upwards with the tide. Shortly af-
ter starting the log gave speed of nine knots, bat
the engine worked more freely it increased to ten
knots. The Eagle Gravesend steamboat could creep
only very slowly ahead of the Great Northern, and
the London, of Dundee the fastest eagong steamer
which comes into the Thames, assisted by fore top
sail and jb, could barely pass the screw boat, ro-
ceedIng she did without any help from CANVASS
Altogeiier, The Of the experiment is said TO
have been complete. Ii was demonstrated beyond
doubt that the Great Northern, which only pretspds
to use steam secondary power can easily accom-
plish ten miles hour. She steers also very easily,
and turns in double her own length. Sir F. Collier
publicly stated that the speed Of the Great Northern,
with 700 tons Of coal board exceeded the velocity
of any steam vessel in the navy except the Queens
yacht and the Black Eagle.n

MR.. CLAY-A UNITED STATES BANK-ITS
CONSTITUT IONALITY.

Weare free TO confess, that we deprecate the
election of Mr.. Clay, because we firmly believe
the welfare Of the country depends npon the sue
cess Of the Republican candidate; and il is the
duty of those who agree in principle TO remove
every obstacle in the way that the friends of all
the Republican candidates spoken Of for the
Presidency, may meet upon common ground.
We are opposed to every question with which
the name Of Mr.. Clay is associated. We DENY
The constitutional power to create Bank, and
we challenge the most fastidious friend of that
gentleman to point out in that instrument the
delegation Of such power. If the power is
not expressly delegated in the language Of the
Constitution, {" IL is reserred 10 the People
and the .Stotes," who ratified the Constitution
and afterwards amended it that no improper
construction should be put upon il, and to con
fine the Executive and the Legislative Depart
ments-lhe law-making power-to the letter
and spirit Of that instrument. If the doctrine
of implication is once admitted into the admin
istraIou Of The Government, there is no telling
where the power will end, because every mca-
sure which may prove advantageous 10 the par
ty in power, may be forced upon the People
with equal propriety under the plea, that it is
" necessary and proper" Independent Of our
Constitutional objections TO the creation of a
Bank Of the United States, we believe it To be.
in the language Of Mr. Clay, himself, in 1911
dangerous TO the liberties Of The country, -
because it exercises an influence, secret in lis
conception, upon the People, and is calculated TO
demoralize rather than exat the honest yeomanry
of the country. Its bapeful effects are whitening
to the permanent credit of the country, because,
80 long as the Government is connected with
an institution of the kind, its expansions and
contraclons, which must take place from the
fluctuations of trade, in a commercial country.
will, with equal force, affect the operations of
the Government, and whenever it is forced 10
suspend specie payments, the Government will
be compelled to descend from the high and ex-
allied position which the trainers of the Consi-
tuition intended it should occupy, and be forced,
from circumstances beyond its control, to ray
out and receive rredeemable paper. 1t certain
ly was never intended by the trainers of the
Constitution that the People should be taxed
ostensbly for the support of the Government,
and the taxes thus collected be subscribed for
the stock Of Bank so as TO enable it TO go into
operation, and then, under the insidous pretext
Of accommodation, lend 'hs People their ow

has no right TO discontinue the combat Until Ue
are sstis6ed--and we shall never be willing TO

money, Which had been raised for SPECIFIC aud
delegated purpose. This idea is preposlerous,
from the wording Of the Constitution, aud from
the Interpretation given to that instrument not
only by MIR. Jefferson and Mr.. Madison, but by
General Jackson, who was defrauded out of his
election by an unholv bargain aud intrigue be-
tween Mr.. Clay and Mr.. Adams, with which
the whole country is perfectly familiar, and
with which Mr. Blair himself was prumnen,
and conspicuous actor. With these reminis-
cences yet fresh in the recDlections OF the coun
try, by what authority does the editor of the
Globe lake upon himself to proclaim who shall,
and who shall not, be admitted into the Demo-
cratic party2
The time is fast approaching when something
will have to be done that will harmonic the diff
ferent elements of the Republican party, who
agree in principle, but who do not like to BIZ de-
nounccd as "renegudes" and "trditors" for
merely expressing an honest preference for men,
and who are perfectly willing to abide by the
decision of National Convention, provided
even-handed justice is melted out to all the
candidates who are presented to their conside-
ration for nomination, or the Government will
pass into the hands of The Federal party, who
are in a minority if there is concert and action
among the Republican party.
The Wing party is united, and why should
not the Republican party be2 Thisis pertinent
question, and must Oe answered by those who
have been striving for the last twelve months to
divide and distract i. by denouncing honest and
sincere Democrats, who have labored incessant-
ly for the faithful administration of the Govern
meni upon those principles which characterized
Mr.. Jefferson's administration.
We know that the friends of Mr. Clay would
have given up in despair, and not even made an
effort in 1914, if it had not been for the insd
Gus course pursued by few selfish politicians
in dividing and disracting the Republican par
ty, which has inspired them with new hopes,
and they are now calling upon their friends in
every section of the country TO organize and
form themselves into ''Clay Clubs" preparing
for the great battle, which is to decide the future
policy of the Government, whilst the Repubi-
can party is divided.
From this deplorable state of affairs we feel en-
tirey exempt; but with proper spirit there
navy be harmony restored in the Republican
party, which alone can save the country from
the vortex Of Federalism ~

November LIST, l643.
You have probably noticed, in certain quarters
attempts make political capital ont of the recent re-
duction of the price of labor in the navy yard at
Charlestown but they are unsuccessful The very
fact that higher rate Of wages is paid in than out
Of the yard is sufficient in the mind Of every honest
man and friend Of the laborer to warrant and Justify
the reduction. The admirable letter Of the Secretary
of the Navy in the Boston Posi-hc manly ground,
he there taxes and in which the people will support
him, should silence all cay on this point But the
editors of the Bay State Democrat and Boston Atlas
are in full league in their crusade against Mr. Hen
shaw They pretend TO be the exclusive friends and
advocates Of the aboring classes What regard have
they for the laborer; None at all The editor of
the Democrat, sezes upon this matter for the purpose
of venting his private spleen upon the Secretary
and The Atlas takes hold Of it only for its own ncfa
rious political purposes. Neither Of these papers
have the confidence OF the people, and their attacks
| arc perfectly harmless. The editor of the former
was too recently in the ranks Of the enemy TO assa
Democrat Of old and long standing, one whom the
People have tried and found not wanting
1t is but Just and right that those who work in the
navy yard should receive no more compens ation for
the same amount Of labor than those outside A
fair and equal rate Of wages should exist Rerench-
mcnt and reform the honest people will sustain.
Quite an excitement has been caused by disclosures
which have just been made, showing most infa-
nous attempt on the part of the Clay Wings in our
Legislature last winter to bride Democrat TO vote
for the Wing Senators in filling up the vacancies
and consequently for John Davis They we're foiled
IN their plans. And COW they have got up a con-
spiracy and charged the bribery and corruption upon
he Democrats with this same member Blu, the fact.
have come out and the charge Of bribery has recoi
ed upon the Atlas Clay Wings with terrible severity
| and they will meet with retribu,ive Justice The
old Bay State is safe in the hands of the Democracy
and not all the articles Of the enemy can wres, her
from them. Yours truly,

FROM THE MouNrAINs.-The Western Expositor

"By gentleman who has Just arrived in our town
direct from the Mountains, VIC have had the pleasure
of again hearing from the Oregon Emigrants. The
gentleman referred to went out this spring with Sir
William Stewards party. He states that company
of twenty-five, himself among the number, left Stew.

states that every man in his company who dis

being tyranncal, mean, and in many other respects
dlsgraceful to human nature ITSELF Forty-four men
are still with him.

company and had divided into three four smaller
parties for the greater convenience in travelling.
1t seems that accidents Of any kind had occurred
to them, and that their CATTLE mules horses were
all fat and in good travelling condition. They were
well supplied with every article Of food necessary
for their trip and have doubtless, this reached
their place OF destination. II will be source of
much qualification TO the friends of Oregon every

trip with greater losses and hardships than it has
yet met with. The present company has bazed the

before them. Next year, from all Indications there

ALMOST PERPETUAL MorIoN.-We copied para
graph recently describing twelve month clock ex-
hbited at the Fair of the New York Institute, the
invention of Mr.. Crane. We possess townsman
whose powers of invention in this line Of art far sur
passed the ingenuity Of Mr.. Crane. Francis Stein,
clock and matchmaker, in Meeting street, opposite
the United States Court House, had manufactured in
Charleston only year ago, clock, that ran for one
year without winding up; this clock was its own
pendulum, and gave its face, the times at London
Paris and Charleston. 1t was ratified out for sixty
chances, at tive dollars each, and is now in England
Mr. Stein is working at present at clock which is
moved by a spring and can also be propelled by
weight; It has only four wheels and its mechanism
is very simple; it makes only Al evolutions during
the term Of ten years. and it need not be wound up
in that time MI, Stein AYERS, that if he puts an adj
dit ona wheel into his clock with one hundred teeth
it will go one hundred years without being wound
up, and nevertheless the whole clock wants only
five pounds weight to be kept going. Mr.. Stein will
have clock of the above description ready in four
months time, and will then give all friends Of curious
mechanism an opportunity to judge for themselves
