TYPE-sETTING MACHINE.

Mr.. J. V. Ford, of Troy, has gone to Washington %
secure patent for his newly invented ype-setting ma
chine, by which type be set and distributed with
great rapidiy. The New York Commercial does not
think that the machine will supersede the present mode
Of setting type, and thus reasons:
"We saw and examined the models OF both machines
in this city and admired them greatly for their ingenu
y and the beauty of their movements. But, while we
believe that the machines will accomplish one Of the
objects intended doubt whether they will the other
That is we believe that they will expedite the labor
The types and spaces may be placed by the machine in
lines but the machine cannot justify the lines-which is
always considerable portion Of The composors labor
This term Justify will not be understood by unlcttered
readers without explanation. Every line in the column
Of newspaper or in the page of book must be exact
y of the same length to the space ofa hair now when
the composor setting his types on coming to the end
of the line it seldom very seldom happens that the line
can be exactly filled by the word he is setting up. He
must then either space oM as it is called that is put
wider spaces between the words in the entire lineor
make room by taking out the ordinary spaces be-
tween the words & then inserting thinner ones-often,
moreover being obliged TO divide the word al the end OF
the line, if ii be not monosyllable. Sometimes the
whole line must be thin spaced 10 get in long word or
syllable which cannot be got in compels the compost
tor TO driue out by very thick spacing. Now the ma
chine never be made to perform any portion OF this
labor 1t will require one person TO play upon the keys
of each machne-another to remove the line when set,
and to justify it-anoher to place the lines ofa the let
ers of the alphabet in their proper places 10 be received
by the machine, and to supply instantly every exhaust
ed ine-whe yet another hand will be required to place
the matter for distribution iu proper situation for the
action of the other machine.
Added to all, the machines will cost fifteen hundred
dollars apiece-an amount sufficient to set up four coun
try printing Offices while for establishment like ours
favor machines, at least would be necessary. We are
reluctant 10 say any thing nat may damp the ardor
genius or discourage enterprise but we believe thai the
machinery now in our employ will not be superseded
by Mr. Ford's discovery, curious and interesting as
| is"

e~vircss : decided hostility 10 the propos-
ed National Convention, and insists on
ths District mode OF organization and
tie per eap!tG mode of voting in cOnvcn-

quently less liable to abu1ss. He ar
CUES that every ether mode would be
controlled by political machinery, and
place the appointments in the hands OF
the few who work il. To sustain this
position, he says: "the Delegates TO the
Convention from some OF the States IL
not be elected by The people in Districts,
but state conventions, en- masse, compos-
ed Of Delegates appointed by county or
district conventions, those again compos-
ed q delegates appointed by still smaller
divisions, or few interested individuals.
Instead, then, Of being directly, or fresh
from The people, he Delegates to tie

moved, in al! cases, al least three, il mi
