AMERICAN REPUBLICAN.

TE7EIIS paper which is the organ Of the American
4 Republican Party, the FIRST paper of the
kind established, is now rapidly increasing in cir
culation and usefulness. 1t is devoted to the sup
port of the principles, doctrines, movements, and
views Of the American Republican Parly--is OPP
posed to the system of making foreigners office
holders and steadily and fearlessly advocates the
Repeal of the Naturalization Laws.
II is hoped that ALL AMERICANS, of whatev-
party, will examine these doctrines impartial
ly, and adopt them as their guiding creed. 1t is
now generally conceded that by the time of the
year l848 the American Republican Party will be
dominant, and will nominate and elect its own
President and Congress. Every native and good
adopted citizen should be prepared to state wheth-
er he will submit to be governed by foreign pre-
judce and influence, and whether the Insulting
declaration,
'AMERlCkNs sHAN'T RULE US,
borne through the streets of the principal city f
the Union, shall be verified or not.
The WEEKLY AMERICAN REPUBLICAN is a
Quarto sheet, (eight large pages,) printed upon
fine paper, and clear beautiful Brewer type. The
form IS calculated for binding and preservation.
Each number contains udicious summary Of the
News of the Week. good portion of Tales and
Poetry, written for the paper by authors of ac-
knowledged talent, and much entertaining edito-
Hal matter, embracing Literary, Sclehtluc, Hu-
morous and every day subjects.
A review ofthe Markets, Stocks, Sales &C.. is
made up expressly for country circulation. The
proceedings of The Courts are also given in a con-
densed form.
The Weekly American Republican is good
family newspaper; it has ample reading for the
general reader, and is besides all this, most I'M
questionably calculated to extend and encourage
the spread of American Republicanism in sections
of the country where no papers advocating our
doctrines are published. Postmaslers, and all dis

8 hours per day.

From this calculation it appears that at
ten miles per hour a horse cannot keep up
this pace for more than ( of an hour; aad
that II miles per day at this speed. is as
much as horse oil average strength can
do without being soon exhausted.
1t has been ascer,ained tna. horse will
draw on a smooth, level road, IA tons one
mile per day. when worked at speed of
q miles per hour; bat when worked at
speed Of 10 miles per hour, 81 tons the
same distance per day is all horse can
perform. By this high velocity, The load
is necessarily greatly diminished and con-
sequenlly 4of the useful effect Of the horse
is lost.
Estimating the weight of common stage
coaches and their loads at two tons, it Is
easy 10 perceive the necessity four hors-
es being employed to do the work at their
usual high speed, which ole horse could
do on a good level road at the velocity Of
two and one half miles per hour. Exper-
imcns made with large English horses,
show that horse will raise $4,000 pounds
one loot high per minute; hut other ex-
perimens with horses # midding size
and strength establish the horse power at
$4,000 pounds, one foot high per minute.
Many steam engines have been
warranted 10 work certain number OF
horse power, but after having been tested
according to Bolton and WATTS estimate
of $4,000 pounds raised one foot high per
minute for each horse power, they were
found invariably TO fall short one third that
estimate. i. ID.

periments 10 blowing with horses of the
common size and muscular strength, show
that the average force exerted by horses

about 100 pounds, at speed of % miles

by all expermenaIists as the best for OBJ
tanning the greatest quantity ofpower from

At a speed of p miles per hour, a

But when the velocity OF the horse is in

A HoRRIBLB AFFAIR.-The Rock
ingham (Va.) Register of late date
contains the particulars Of horrible af.
lair, communicated to the editor by a
gentleman of veracity, which transpired
in Randolph county, in the western part
of Virginia, in June Of the past summer.
The Register says:-'Some three years
ago, on Cheat River, in Randolph coun-
ty, Va, man by the name OF Corr, a
married man, formed an attachment for
gentleman's wife by the name of VOL
ford The two agreed to run away to-
gether, and without delay executed their
design After an absence of about l8
months they returned to the same neigh
borhood in which they formerly lived,
where they resided together about eigh>
teen months, during which time they had
one child. They received many threats
from the neighbors, and from what fol-
lowed, it is more than probable these
threats were carried into execution
One morning it was made known that the
house occupied by this guilty pair and
their child had been consumed by fire
On examination Of the premises the
bones of the child were found in one cor
ner Of the house, the bones ofthe mother
were resting upon the chaff tick, which
was not altogether consumed by the fire,
and the remains of the man were
found in the middle ofthe room, his heart
being whole and his head seemed to have
been severed from his body! His axe
and gun we're lying by his side, which
indicated that he had made some resis-
lance"
