Wool-Gathering Machine.

Within short time past a machine Of Eng
lish invention has been Introduced into this
country, which is likely TO effect important re-
suits upon the wool business, the old clothes
trade, and the home manufacture of cloth. IL
is simple and very complete cOntrlrance for
recon, eTins old clothes, blankets, pelIicoats,
stockings &c. &c. into tuool and the facility,
ease and despatch with which j, performs This
operation is truly surprising. The worst loQk-
ing, moh-eaten, ragged, patched and unclean
things, in the shape of woolen garments, car
pets or bed-clo'hes, are passed through the ma
chine and reduced into wool with speed that
almost surpasses belief The instrument which
performs this work is nothing but large, broad
wheel, on the circumference Of which multi
tude of small, blum. spikes are fixed, like nails
in the collar of tanners dog The rags are
laid in fiat trough or feeder, and are drawn
forward TO the wheel, where, by the rapid rev.
olulion of the latter against their edges, they
are soon "undone" as rags, and done up into
wool. The machine is driven by steam, and
performs an incredible amount of labor in
day. conirivance somewhat similar TO This
has been in operation for thirty years in Eng
land, and has for many years supplied large
quantity of material to the manufactures OF cloth,
and it may be some satisfaction TO The friends
of British fabrics to know that they have been
wearing, during that time, coats and pants made
from second hand breeches, shocking bad stock.
ings, and most unsightly peiooa's, cast of as
no longer fiji for use even by the beggars OF the
mother country! The wearers of English bea-
yer cloth may especially congratulate them
selves upon This fact But, notwithstanding
there some decidedly unpleasant sensations
associated with such an idea, cannot bu.
look upon the machine great acquisition TO
The economy of our own manufactures. The
wool produced from The rage, when washed,
carded and strengthened by The admix'ure of
proper quantity of new wool, form cheap and
good material for The manufacture Of carpets,
and Of common articles of wearing apparel
The introduction of The machine here will tend
10 reduce the price OF the coarser domestic
woollens, and thus assist in enabling our man
ufaclures 10 compete more successfully with
fnrelgners, without affecting The wages oi labor,
by increasing and cheapening The raw material.
1t has already advanced the value, by increas-
ing demand for woollen rags, and will thus add
something, perhaps much, TO the stock OF ma
tonsl wealth. As means of employing capi-
tai in an useful and profitable mode, and of in
creasing the value of rags. supplying demand
for wool, and cheapenlng the supply which Is
only another term for increasing the dsmand-.-
for domestic woolen fabrics, the machine is
valuable addition TO the means of economy in
The country. Some two or three of them are
now in successful operation in this city, though
The only use 10 which the wool produced by
them has ye. been appropriated, is that of ma
king carpets and other OF the coarser fabrics.

they will spoil directly. The eggs should he

the above directions are strictly attended to, the
eggs will ke-p good five mouths. The lime

Spring.

Springs sunny days have come again,
The hlilhsome and The free;
And ev'ry hillside, Tree and plain
Is vocal with its gles.
The birds have spread their azure wings
Beneath The gorgeous skies;
And flowers from lawn and meadow spriR 9
With rich and brilliant, dyes.
The sreamler, winding through the dale,
Brealhes forth lis melody;
The sighihg of The perlum'd gale
Is waited o'er the lea.
On ev'ry side are seen the flowers,
Each bright and happy thing
The offering of the sunny hours,
That usher in the spring.
The murmur of The cascades fall,
That comes upon the breeze,
The music Of the mock-bird's call,
From out the leafy trees
The song from mountain and from hill,
That strikes upon the ear,
From river; fountain, and from rill-
Tell spring, sweet spring is here.

For the Freeman.
Democratic National Principles.

Some of the Polk presses have made themselves
merry in rdculing the zone idea party" But RI
dculous as we may appear in the eyes of our en-
emies, we stand in 4 much more enviabe position,
in our own estimation, with our one idea only,
than that party which attempts to put forth two
ideas, directly the antagonisms of each other. See
the advantage now of having two ideas, and both
of them deocratic, too!
The Convention which gave Polk and Dallas
such great and sudden start before the democra-
cy at Baltimore, adopted on the 9th day of May,
1914, and published the two following ideas, as
part Of their national creed. Let the Fourth day
of July, '76, henceforh be forgottenl
Idea No. /. "The liberal principles embodied
by Jefferson in the Declaration of independence,
and sanctioned in the Constitution, achich make
ours the land of LIBERTY, and the asylum ofthe
OPPRESSED of eUery NATION, have ever been car
dinal principles in the democratic faith"
Idea No. 2. "AlI efforts of the abolitonists or
others, made to induce Congress to interfere with
questions of SLAVERY, or 10 take inctpient steps TN
relation thereto, are calculated to lead to the most
alarming consequences"
Who now will fail to see the advantage of hav-
ing more than one idea. Democrats knew better
than to buy fiddle that would play but one tune |!
But slavery is not the only subject upon which
they have more than one idea. There is another
specimen taken from the declarations of democra-
cy in 1874
Idea No. /. "Tt is inexpedient and dangerous to
exercise doubtful constitutional powers. The con-
stution does not confer authority upon the gener-
al government directly or indirectly, to assume the
debts of the several States"
Idea No. g "The re-anexaton of Texas at the
earliest practical PERIOD is great American mea-
ure, which this convention recommends to the cor
dial support of the Democracy of the Union.''
There, now, who will not support the party with
such diversity of principles and measures upon
two Of the great national topics? The constitu-
tian will not allow the general government to as
sumo the debts of single State now in the Union
but it clearly allows the government to assume
a debt of 90 millions of foreign slave holding
State, for the sake of getting it into the Union =
!, The constitution does not allow the government to
commence and carry on system of internal I'M
provements; or, to say the least, the exercise o.
such power would be 'doubtful,' and hence dan
gerous: but there is neither doubt nor danger a
bout the right to acquire foreign terrtory-th
most democratic construction Of the constitution
will clearly allow that! F.

mere phantom? Is it like dream, which is gone
when man awaketh? No, feow-citzens: it is
that great reality-that boon from Heaven TO man

But who were assembled on this occasion? Lib
erty men, Christians, Wings and Democrats, priest
and layman-all thundered forth six hearty cheers
for the orator of the day. But who is the orator
in 1874? Jacob Collamer. Who is Jacob Cola
mer? Is he not the man who attempted to repre-
sent the second Congressional district last winter
Is he not the man that run the House when the
Baltimore resolution was under discussion not
daring to record his vote against it? But what
did Mr.. Collamer say at Chelsea last fall' There
| is no power on earth save that Of Congress which
has any right to abolish slavery in the District Of
Columbia and in the territories Now comes the
Baltimore resolution:
Resolved, That all efforts of the aboitionsts
or others to induce Congress to interfere witt
questions of slavery, or to take incpent steps il
relation thereto, are calculated to lead to the mos
alarming and dangerous consequences, and have
an inevitable tendency to endanger the happiness
OF the people, and the permanency of the Union
and ought not to be countenanced by any friend o
