Is Fun CAP BALLOT Box ?-At the election
last week the constable of this town sat upon Ia
BILE, which was plentifully supplied with votes for
both tickets, along side fiu cap, in which the bal
lots of the freemen were deposited A fur cap may
be good ballot box, but it strikes that it ought
at least to have pair of mttens or a comforter by
way of corer. We would also suggest%at if the
constable would plant himself in rocking chair,
near The stove, holding the fur cap in his lap, he
would find it more comfortable than sitting upon
the edge of table. There's a chance for decided
improvement on the next occasion.
STATUE OF Henry CLAY-The project of the
Wing ladies of Richmond, Va. to erect statue to
Henry Clay, is successful. The gentlemen of Phil
ddephia have made splendid and costly present
to Mrs. Clay
i u Last week we stated that the nomination of
} Geo. W. Woodward, to be Judge of the U. S. Su-
preme Court, had been confirmed by the Senate
For Geo. w. Woodward read Levi Woodbmy, who
was conirmebsby unanimous vote. Mr. Wood
wards nomination will be contested. The leading
naturalized citizens of Philadelphia have protested
against his appointment, because he once proposed
to exclude foreigners from ever becoming voters in
Pennsylvania, "and he supported this ultra Tory
doctrine in an ultra Tory speech" Well - this is
not the first time Pennsylvania Locofoco has been
ranked as Tory: see c. ]. Ingerso The bunder
last week not ours we took the official organ
Of the administration at Washington for our au-
thority.
A DARK FEATURE IN LoCoFoco Democracy.
The leaders of Locofocoism in New York are
coming out boldly against permitting negroes to
vote unless they possess u certain amount of prop
erty. TO carry out this sort of Democracy, they
ought to give tro roes to him who possesses double
the amount of cash required, and so on in the same
proportion.
P. S. A portion of the party dissent, and have
resolved that it is unfair to let rich negro vote, to
the exclusion of poor negroes--and so to remedy
this undemocratic inequality, they recommend that
!, all negroes be encluded from rolling.
% We cut the following from the Vergennes

between electricity and magnetism, and;is soon to

! Davenport's hypothesis that the sun is a magnf-
cent galvanic battery-the motive power to- and the
creator of the planets.
THE VERMONT PHLosoPHLR.--Mr. Davenport
= of Brandon, who has for a number of years been
e distinguished for his close and deep Investigations
, in physical science, has recently made an exhibit
ton before body of scientific men of an applica-
1 ton which he has made of electro magnetism to
$ the propeling of machinery. By this agency,
trip hammer is made to fly almost with the rapidly
of lightning and rotary and reciprocating engines
work with admirable correctness.
In summing up the grand principles of galvanism
/ and electro magnetism, Mr.. d. advances the hy-
pothesls that the magnificent galvanic bat
terry, and that the earth and all the planets take
their motions from the current of galvanism evov-
ed from that great lumlnary; and what is singular
Ilt 11,t,,l H. L..
f magnetism, that the planets may have originated
from the sun without diminishing the power or size
of that great dispenser of light and heat.
Indeed, as says the editor of the "Voice," there
Il can be but little doubt but that the development of
this principle is yet to astonsh the world, and there
is more than shadow of possibility that as utli-
= tartan philosopher our humble Davenport may one
y day rank with Franklin. Who is prepared to say
u his theory Of the planetary system is not correct
d May he not only be second Franklin, but an A
o mercan Newton. Even should he advance no fur
