We chad the pleasure ofinspecting on Satur-
day, a breech loading rifle, the invention Of Mr..
THOMAS, who is now in this city, preparing TO
patent his invention We consider the great
desideratum attained in this invention--de-
spatch, precision, and force
Thomas's Brcech Loading Rifle IS construc-
led as follows: The breech PIN, which is
cylinder Of I inch diameter or more, passes
through the breech crosswise, instead OF being
longitudinal, as is the case with the ordinary
rifle. This cylinder is ground So as TO make
snug fit, yet so as to play freely. The callbre
of the barrel is continued on Immediately
through the centre OF this cylinder and out Of
the breech in the rear, so,lhat the ball, with a
patch fitted TO it, may be put in from behind,
and forced to its place wilhthe neck OF flask,
made for the purpose, and proper charge Of
powder may be let in with the guage, before
the flask is taken out. This done, and the
charge being all in advance fthe cylinder, the
latter is made to revolve just quadrant, and
closes up the rear of the powder bed similar to
the action Of the common faucet. The parts
are so adjusted that perfect air joint is
formed which will not admit of separation,
or recoil at the time Of discharge. The piece
may be charged also by the use Of cartridges
if preferred. The whole peculiarly being
almost as simple as an unit, and apparent
very safe.

CONGRESSIONAL PRAYER MEETING.-It may
may not be generally known that for ten or
twelve years past, a noiseless and unobtrusive
meeting, composed exclusively of Members OF
Congress, has been regularly maintained in
Washington city, during the Sessions of the
National Legislature. The idea Of such meet
ing was first suggested, as it is generally be-
lieved, by distinguished member Of the Uni.
ted States Senate, and it has been subsequent
ly sanctioned by the hearty appreciation of
other Senators and members Of Congress- Ev-
cry Saturday evening is devoted to the interest
ing objects Of prayer and praise, and the cult
vaton Of those sentiments of benevolence and
charity, which are SO ornamental to the Chris
tan character 1t is, ineeed, scene upon
which even the eye of God must rest with
complacency, when the Representatives of
great Nation are seen to forget their sectional
political, and religious peculiarities, and bend
with the simplicity Of children around the cross
OF our common Saviour, imploring the bene-
dictons of Heaven upon themselves, their
country, and the world. Happy that constitu-
ency which enjoys the benefits of the fervent
prayers, as well as the patriotic services of an
intelligent and faithful Representative. Will
all such Members of Congress as are professors
of religion, by their attendance and influence.
give 10 this most interesting association the en-
couragement which its importance demands.

The Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1837-1867, 1846-08-01

| ~ The Star asks what the Caledoninn
means by insnuuting that the locos of Yer
mont have no principles Answcr--wc mean
that the Resolution committee of your State
Convention, after trying to HINT up the prnci-
pies of the party in Vermont, IL discussing the
matter nearly half day, could not find any,
or if they did, they could not agree to oarn
them, and so the Convention declared none,
We take it that State Convention of any
party is the proper exponent of the principles
of the party of the State, and they declared by
their acts and conduct that the party had no
principles Now, neghbor, these things are
facts. The ocos of Orleans County had none
to declare, we called that party by the name
they chose-the Wnprincip'cd party Is not
that right, and true ulso'
The Star repels our christening its party by
referring to the fact that no resolutions were
adopted by the Wing Convention ofthis Coun-
ty. The Star does not seem to be aware that
the County Convention was held in connection
with the District convention, and was mostly
composed of the same body of men and conse-
quently it was formally agreed that rcsolu-
tons were to be reported to the District Con-
vention duplicate sets would be unnecessary
And further, the Star intimates that Mr. Polk
can be written to if any body wishes to ascer-
tain the principles the loco party. This
might be done, surely. But then, IF a Pennsyl-
vanian Vermonter, should write him up
on the Tariff, he would refer him to his Kane
latter: if Shareholder should do the same, he
would refer him to his speech in favor of re.
ducing the duty on wool to Is per cent. And
so upon Oregon-to n Western man he would
declare our right 'unquestonable" to 81 DO
and to Southern slave holder who wants nc
free territory he would cheerfully give up all tc
the British down to 40 as he has done
Indeeds we suspect that if two men from
different sections of the country should call
upon him at the same time and ask him his
principles, he would be like the locofoco State
Convention--he would have NO common prin-
ciples. Is the Star enlightened upon the top.
