HE TRIUMPH OF Arr "A report has been pre-.
scented to the Academy of Science in Paris; giving an
accoun, of an artificial arm, made by Dutch sculptor
M. Van Petersen, which gives to persons deprived

committee of the Academy have seen the invention O
M Van Petersen upon Eve mutiIa ted individuals and
among others upon invalid who has been do prjyet
of both arms ever since The Of the empire and

The Artificial arm of M. Van Petersen is no, atap-

only who have preserved untouched the superior PAL,
OF the humnrus fitted to profit by it, and il can
render no service TO those who have no stump and
have submitted 10 amputalion Of the sbou der.
The Invention is composed of three parts arcula ed
and movable, which represent the am the forearm,
and the hand. This last composes kind Of wrist
with fingers of triple phaanges, movable, and main

the thumb by springs. The whole weighs scarcely SOC

MOTIVES FOR UNION.

1t is peculiar characteristic of the members
of the Wing party, that they are more prone to
attach importance to minor questions, achich
they differ, than TO the great and vital ones on
(which they agree. This is foibe, if we may
so call it, of the Wing party, and while it is a
source OF weakness TO us, it is an element of
strength TO our adversares. On all the truly
important questions before the country, there is
entire coincidence of sentiment among the Wings.
They all believe that Mr.. Polk was elected by
fraudulent votes. They all believe that the Ad-
ministration is imbecile and corrupt. They all
believe that the patronage of the Government
should not be brought into conflict with the free
dom of elections, and that Members of Congress
ought not 10 be bought up 10 betray their consti-
tuen,s. They believe that the Representatives
of the People are the Constitutional guardians of
the public purse, and not the President. They
all believe that the Executive power has increas-
ed, is increasing and ought to be diminished.
On all these great and leading points, affecting
closely the preservation OF public liberty there
is perfect harmony of feeling and identity of
views among all the members of the great Whig
party. But instead of making these, which are
broad enough for all to stand upon, the founda-
tombstone of their own temple they permit them
selves to be distracted and led off upon COMPARE
lively immaterial questions. This viii! no. do.

ANOTHER SLAVE EXCITEMENT

The Cincinnati Gazette says that meetings
have been held in four townships in Washing.
ton county, Ohio, and that several more were a.
bout to take place, on the subject of the seizure
oil Lorraine, Garner, and Thomas, on the Ohio
shore, while engaged in assisting the escape OF
the slaves of Mr., iIarwocd from Virginia. The
object of the meetings seems to be mainly to en-.
sure fair trial to the prisoners, though in two Of
them proposals were made to proceed to Parkers.
burg and tear down the Jail, and SO give freedom
to their fellow-citizens. The Gazette remarks
1--WE have nothing to say in defence of any man,
or set of men, who will enice slaves away. II
caught, let the law have its course But we
have something to say against our citizens being
seized on their own soil, and without process Of
law, by people of another State, to be tried be.
fore the tribunals of that State. They may be
wrong every way bad at heart and bad in con.
duct; but they should not be troubled if Ohio
has the means or the power to protect them

Mahan was seized on the same grounds and il
the same way nearly; but Kentucky Cour
and Jury acquitted him without moments he
Let 1t be fairly met, and we do not believe Tn,

The Gazette says that the friends of the cap
tured whites tell this story.-Tbat some sever
weeks before, they were solicited by white
man, an elder in the Baptist Church in Virginia
whose name its informant thinks is Romaine, tc
aid the escape of the negroes; that they refused
TO leave the State for the purpose, but said they
were always ready to help the bond in their Ell:
forts TO gain their liberty; and that Romano az
ter getting them into the plot, betrayed them iol
a promised reward of fifty dollars, if they were
captured.
il is not improbable that this affair will pro-
duce considerable excitement in Ohio-pariicu-
larry if the politicians should be tempted to take
hold Of il.
