nation that james b, Shepard, of Wake

so contains number Of appointments for
Mr.. Shepard in the eastern part Of the

Thus it will be scca that Loco Focoism
presents any thing but an undivided front.

public life aud political distinction, yield
his claims to Mr.. Shepard : This we con-

nomination only by majority.

AIR AND SUBMARINE NAVIGATION.


YNo THE PUBLIC again appear before you
Il for the purpose Of submitting TO your consid-
Grafton two new and novel plans of fir and Sub
Marine NavigaiOn. After years Of incessant appli-
cation and study, have succeeded IN bringing them
TO state Of perfection, and ask OF you fair con
sideration and opinion Of their merits. The one is
for navigating the airby OF balloon, so con-
strucied that il can be managed TO move with We
lociy Of so 90 miles per hour IN any given dree'
lion, whether il be across the Atlantic, or traverse
the entire length Of our great and wide spread
country, from the Aroostook TO the Rio Grande.
Connected with this machine have attached bat
terry from which can discharge, from any height,
with the greatest precision and accuTa " from one
To ten thousand one-ounce balls In a minute with
machine like this, propehymanaged, the necessity
Of sending troops to Texas would have been oovi-
sted-one Of these batteries placed In the balloon,
managed by single individual, being sufficient To
defeat and exterminate the largest army.
The other is a machine with which can move
with under water, at the rate Of eight or ten
miles per hour, without being compelled to come
TO the surface for air; the machine being so con-
structed to generate air sufficient for the person
within il. Connected with this have a torpedo,
with which can approach (under water) hostile
feet, and sink or blow up the same In thirty min
utes!
Believing that these machines would be Of the
greatest utility TO the United States have refrained
fIom laying my plans before the public until the
time should arrive when their merits would be duly
appreciated. That time has now arrived; the "black
clouds Of war" are lowering over our horizon, all
eager attention, expecting TO hear borne every
breeze waited from the south. the booming Of cam
non. With my Atmospheric Machines, | could
carry dispatches to or from Oregon or Texas, to
Washington, in 100 hours, or beat of any hostile
feet or army that dare approach our shore. To a
country Of such vast and Increasing territory as
ours, the utility Of these machines must be obvious;
but having family depending upon my labor for
support, ! am unable TO carry them into success
full operation. l call upon the public TO aid me in
this great enterprise. | cannot believe my own
eountrymen are SO far behind other countries in
encouraging the arts and sciences; and still cling
TO the hope that some liberal and noble-soued per-
sohs will step forward to aid in the construction Of
one or both Of these machines and, while reaping
a rich reward for themselves, become nations
