J. DUDLEY'S STATEMENT

J. Dudley, Esq, Senator, from Franklin and
Owen counties, being called upon, made the fol-
lowing statement on the floor Of the Senate One
day, in january, 1925, F. ?. Blair came into
the Senate Chamber, seated himself near me- and
inquired my opinion on the reso ion passed request
ing our members OF Congress I'D vote for General
Jackson as President OF the United States Mr. B..
desired that would write letters requesting the
bers and particularly d. White, from this district to
consult with Mr. Clay and vote as he might desire
TO this | objected, and gave my reasons therefor.
MI b. appeared surprised that | should raise any
objections, particularly was opposed to the reso
lutlons lie said that number of members of both
houses, who voted for the resolutions had written
such letters and that could do it with more propr-
ety. lie said if Mr. White could be induced to
vote for Mr. Adams he would obtain the vote of Ken
lucky, and with it the votes of most of the Western
States, which would elect him, in which case Mr.
Clay would obtain the appointment of Secretary of
State then inquired how that fact had been as
certaned? His answer was that letters had been re-.
ceved from gentlemen of undoubted yeracity at
washington city, containing such information that |
might rely with confidence on that statement | re-
Piled that although opposed to the resolutions,
mad no doubt they contained the truth, and there
lore could not say one word to induce our members
oil Congress to believe otherwise. further protest

Even upon the subject OF slavery he lncunes "
their preiudices He has been conspicuous Tor
his Jealous labors IN the cause of African colo
nization. Yet it appears that the fact of his DC
inc Shareholder was fatal TO him. The South,
therefore must submit TO the decree which Gan
li-slayery feeling" has passed upon her and
give up all hope of seeing another of her sons
IN The Presidential chair.
The present position of the South, therefore,
is this She is doomed never TO furnish another
President TO the Union. 9 The accelerated
march OF population in the free States" TO use
the words of this writer "has already given
freedom preponderance in the lower House
In few years il must have a preponderance
also, in the upper House. And, in the near
time, the mass, aroused into action" by de
chalmers against slavery, and worked upon IL
every way by individuals and affiliated societies
appealed 10 in the name of religion and liberty
'presses on with a resistless surge"
1t appears 10 US, that this writer, unless h
believes the spirit Of the South TO have been S
cowed by nvectve on the subject Of slavery
that she would patiently submit to be over
whelmed by Z" the resistless surge" must hav
demonstrated, even to his own mind, that tn

dnce of the Union.

THE SUB MARINE TELESCOPE.

We some time since alluded to a wonderful instru-
ment, the invention Of lady Of Broc klyn, Mrs Sa

scientific gentlemen. The result Of their examina.

the advantages claimed TO be derived from its use
and they have made report to the Navy Depart
ment, speaking in the highest terms Of IT'S adnra-
bic aes end recommending the Department TO
endeavor TO procure an appropriation 10 test it by
SUI further experiments, aud TO bring il into pract-
cal use. by the experiments male, it was shown
that by means Of an ordinary camphine lamp, plac,
ed m lass globe sunk in the water, sufficient
light would be gwen TO enable person standing on
tie deck OF the ship, TO examine distinctly every
portion of the ships hull even TO the mall,s ST nails
used ~ fastening the coppering. Thusa ship at her
moorlngS may undergo as thorough an examina-
ton as though she were hauled up into dry
dock, Got course at an immense saving of time and
expense) and in case Of leakage or other da mage

deck can at glance satisfy himself Of the precise
nature and extent Of the difficulty. # will thus be
seen how often, by timely warning and repair and
that often too under circumstances where there
would be no other possible means of ascertainng the
facts, many noble ship with the lives Of those
board of them, might have been preserved from the
destruction that otherwise awaited them. But the
powers OF this instrument may be easily increased so
as to produce much more wonderful results. By the
application of the Drummond Light to the apparatus,
even in water urbd as that Of the Mississippi
river the vision may be thrown at least to the depth
of $50 feet, lighting up surface of 500 square feet
and in clear water increasing the hundreds TO thou

THE PRINCETON

Yesterday wos glorious day for the friends
our Navy. About two hundred gentlemen and ladies
had been invited by gallant Capt Stockton
10 view the splendid steamer Princeton -
They left Walnut street wharf at one O'Clock in a
steamboat provided expressly for their accommoda-
ton, and as she drew near, the Princei displayed
the coors OF every nation, and greeted them with
salute and the loud cheers of the crew, by whom the
yards OF he noble craft were manned in an instant.
The cheers were returned by the company with
three times three and three more. The party, COM
posed OF our most respectable citizens and some of
the most beautiful as well accomplished Of our la
dies were then shown every portion of the ship
and had an opportunity Of admring her naval archi-
lecture, the highly wrought and compact engine,
slowed away in little chamber scarcely observa-
BILE by one not aware of being board steamer,
the neaness propriey and taste Of all her arrange
ments, and her admirable adaptation TO the purpose
for which she i. intended. After this splendid col
latlon was placed before the company provided
by the hospltable commander, who combines in a
singular degree, the refinement Of the polished gen.
teman with the stern qualities of the officer; and
late IN the afternoon the steamboat again along
side to take the company home TO the city. The
yards were again manned, and the air rent by the
cheers of "the gallant gallant crew, j" returned, from
their very hearts, by the company. Capt Stockton
does every thing admirably, and succeeds in every
thing he undertakes. FIRE Ia Capiaine
