ELEc rRo-MAGNETlc TELEGRAPn.--It will be
recollected that an appropriation of $4,000 was
made during the last session of Congress, for the
purpose of trying an experiment with Professor
Morscs Eleclro-Nlagnetic Telegraph, between
the cities of Baltimore and Washington. We
have ascertained that this work is now rapidly
progressing About month ago, those having
the contract commenced laying the lcaden pipe,
in which are placed the electric wires In the
course Of few days il became necessary to s,ls-
pend operations for the purpose Of procuring
more suitable material. This was obtained, and
the work again resumed The pipes (about an
inch in diameter,) are now laid from the signal
office in McHenry, near Poppleton street, Balt-
more, to the Relay house--a distance of nine
miles. They follow the course Of the railroad
track, except in few instances where, for con-
venience and economy, curves have been avoid
ed. Professor Morse, we learn, contemplates,
Immediately Oh completing his telegraph to the
Relay house, making trial in order to ascertain
its capacities before going further. If this prove
successful, he will prosecute the enterprise with
despatch, until il shall be accomplished agree
ably to the original design. The pipe in which
the telcgraphic wires are placed is buried some
ten or twelve inches under ground, and can be
put down with little NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Pat.

He then laid his cheek caressingly upon his

Der. Every tone seemed fraught with human
grief and passion. He introduced dialogue, in
which sweet voice complained SO sadly that it

THE TRlUMVIRATE OF REPUDIA
.E .u YION.

The success Of American institutions
rests upon the purity Of the elections and
the elective franchise. When that shall
be thoroughly corrupted, constitutional lib
erty will be no more In this country,
we have adopted the representa- tive sys-
tenn. The people act through representa-
tivcs Of their own choice, who are sup.
posed TO be elected for their honesty and
ability, and.to be worthy Of trust, because
they are the unbought choice of free
people. When a representative ceases
TO be the choice of the people, he ceases to
be their representatives, becomes an
usurper. 1t is the same, whether he OBJ
tains his place by force or fraud, or the
corruption Of the elective franchise, he is
an usurper. He has obtained power con
trary to the constitution, and the fairly
expressed will Of the people
In this country, corrupt convention
system is last depriving the people Of all
practical voice in the election of their ru-
lers-a few men, active politicians pack a
convention, filling it with their own pecu-
liar friends and partizans-this body,
which has not been called together by the
voice OF the people, and over which the
people have, in truth, no control, put:
forth such ticket as few influential as.
plrants may dictate, or find it to their in
terest to support. A few presses in theil
interests and pay, forthwith run-up this
regularly nominated ticket, and all whC
do not bow 10 the authority Of this can
didates' convention, are denounced as re
creants to their party and principles. Ii
this manner the aspiring are awed int
silence, and the iimid brow beaten into sub
mission. So true is this, that the people
are beginning to bow with tame acquies
cence tothe behests OF conventions, anC
vote for nominees blindly, and without in
curing into their principles, their charac.
ter and fitness TO serve the public inter
est. But for this state of things, how
could Graves ever have become treasurer
of this State? Without the auth ority Of
a nomination, he could not have obtained
i've hundred votes for any station.
In the convention system is to be pre-
served it must be kept pure--a faithful
representative of the peoples will-or the
republican institution for which our faith
ers tolled and bled, will find an early tomb
amid the corruptions and factions Of par
ty' No better illustration of this can be
found, than IN the conduct OF the late
convention, which nominated the present,
antl-bond ticket. This convention was
gotten together by the assembling of .he
legislature. When assembled, a resoIu-
lion was adopted, admitting to seats all
the members Of the former convention,
from counties which were not represent

be no settlement Of the tariff question on
such basis. lfduties are laid at all, pro,

are really hostile TO protection in itself

DiSgracefuL-A large number of the Cores
pondents and Reporters of the various papers
published in the different cities of this great
country, have for the last few years been guilty
ofthe disgraceful habit of personatng private
individuals who come under their oh servation,
in their dispatches and reports to their variou
journals small private matters, interesting to no
parties but those concerned, have been by these
disgraceful Correspondents and Reporters para
ded in the public journals with minutcness of
detail, worthy of special pleader; with the
names of the parties either abbreviated or given
at length; to the destruction of the peace of
whole families as we'll as of individuals. At our
fashionable watering places gentleman cannot
carry on little piece of delicate Irritation with
delicate fair one, but some Argus.eyed repor-
ter must be prying into it, while in a few days
a full and glowing account of it, is either pub
ished in the Herald, Pic, or some other journa
as interesting news from Saratoga, White Sui
phur Springs, or Pass Christian as the case may
be. We think it time that public opinion shou Id
frown down such course.
