A GOOD MOTTO

"You are enlisted in the cause; put
your shoulders to the wheel, pray to God
for success, and push on tie cOl0ma,"
.ladrc,O JQcksoa.
Democrats! there is a great deal OF
meaning in this. You are all "enlsted
i'll the cause" All ofyou can do some
thing. Individual exertions can do much.
Every Democrat can say word to some
one, where it will do good; and on cleo
ton day, he can see that every one Of
his nclghbors are at the polls, If one
fingers behind, doubling, he can cheer
HIM on, Every man can do good. Then
each and all, "put your shoulders to the

PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.

We gave in our last returns sufficient &c
show the question clearly settled. Since
then we have had but lille of Importance.
Georgia has gone democratic. Tennes,
see yet remains in doubt.
From Louisiana, we have returns only
from the city of New Orleans. The wings
have m"jprity of4l4, being about 500 less
than in bs49 The state is doubtful.
What few returns we have from Missssip-
pi, show extraordinary democratic gains.
The state has undoubtedly gone democratic
by heavy majority.
In Maine, the Wings appear TO have aban.
doned the contest. The state will give in
the neighborhood of ten Thousand for Polk
over clay.
As the expiring lamp emiis brilliant
fash, so has whiggery in its dying struggle
hlred up brilliantly in Massachusetts. That
state gives about $4,000 majority for Clay
over Polk, and about 1900 over all. The
Assembly is all over wing, and the same with
the Congressional delegation. This is the
state where the ashes of Coonery can rest
in peace Let 1t be there inferred, and let
a suitable tablet be erected over its remains
by the protectionists.
From North Carolina we have yet no We.
nv definite returns. 1t has however undoubt.
edly gone wing.
Indiana has gone democratic by malo
ri,y of2500.
Polk will have l6i electoral votes certain,
possibly III; Clay will have 90 certain, pro,

A STEAMER PROPELLED BY FAN
We learn from the English papers that q
boat constructed on the principle Of a I" fan''
propeller has been Launched at Green
wich, and a very successful experimental
trip performed in her. The boat is named
Mysiery-is Of about fly tons burden and
twenty horse power. The engines arc
fixed lengthways 10 the vessel. The pro-
pe!er is similarly constructed to the fan Of
a windmill, and, like the screw. is fixed to
the stern. 1t possesses twofeld action,
one perpendicular, which regulates her
speed, and other horizontal, which describes
half circle, and regulated her Storage.
This latter action Of the ''fan" is Of
such power that while it supersedes the use
of rudder, it can wheel the boa, round as
if she moved upon pivot, and continue 70
spin her round ard round like a top, withoss
making head or stern way, except wha.
little tide or wind n,ay effect. This pecur
Ian action Of tho " ian" can be attached,
TO any sailing vessel, from line-oc- battle
ship down TO collier, and can be worked
by hands, totally unconected. with steam.
Its power, though not, so great as when
worked by steam, is such that it would en-
able ship of the line TO bring both her
broadsides TO bear against an enemy in
about two minutes.-N. Y. Com. ADJ.
