construction that ! connect his example with the
thcmo of my present DISCOURSE. For, much as
has been said of ne peculiar traits Of his char
acter, do not know any thing more marked in
it than the discrimination upon which have now
been insisting. Our Washington was ono of tho
few great men in tho world, IN whom the better

that his whole character was based upon stead

that there was CT feeling and enthusiasm in his
mind was tanned down 10 the sedateness and
strength Of principle. see IN his whole life the
same concentration of every thing to the one
point of duty. Duty. principle, was the polar
star that guided him through the troubled and try
ing scenes of his life. It IS this which the sculp-
tor has Sc, forth when he represents the yictori-
Gus chief, with one hand surrendering TO the
country the sheaihed sword the emblem at once
of command and of power, and with the other,
pointing 10 heaven. in token of humble and sol

AN ELECTRIC CLOCK.

to appreciate the Importance of the most wonder
ful OF tho Inventions of modern tmo. ~ Balm.
the inventor of the principal system in use In
France, has applied the principles of this discove-
~ 10 the regulation of railroad clocks md some
judgment of his wonderful success can be formed
by that of an experiment was recently made in
Scotland. \ clock has been 50 arranged in Ed
inbnrgh by its connection with tho ma netic
wires, that the oscillations of its pendulum mark
the hours on 4 dial in GLASGOW, and upon another
IN Edinburgh, at one and the same moment, So
perfect Is It's operation that the electrical current
passes from one city to the other in point of
tune not percep5e. since tho two clocks never

railroad lines supplied with .elegra phic wires
along the whole extent, TO esta bsh tho general
regulator IN Greenwich, which will mark a uni

road in the whole kingdom. la this manner the
whole country Will know the exac. Greenwich

danger arising from disagreement in watches,

Kill one. It was dragged INTO camp al nd duly d.

out that u bcdf had been killed. this was s.ou,lv
denied, and the repor: was contradictcd by the
assertion. that deer Ind been killed Weighing
over eight hundred pounds. This caused UNI
vorsal surprise, especially among certain officers,
who demanded 10 see the horns. After Il great
deal of delay they were produced, and examined
by court mprtla, who soefnnly decided, that
the vonison of tho Rio Grando had horns per-
tcctly smooth. and resembling those Of tho OK

WILL SOME w HlG TELL US why the banks and
the tariff don't keep up tho price Of the farmers
produce. Wheat is selling for loss at Columbus
than II has for years. Corn is ID cents per bush
ell; oats l2a; hay S3 per ton, and all other pro.
duco in proporlion.-Ohio Press.
That is pretty question for Locofoco to ask
right in the midst Of a Locofoco administration,
too. that TO do much for the farmers
and tho country. Can it be possible that such
prices prevail, when the ports Of Great Britain
arc open for tho reception of portion Of our
grain, free Of duty, and the rest is received there
at greatly reduced rate? (t will be recollccted
that giving bonds for tho pavmen, of duty in
the event Of a failure of tho Repeal Bill, shippers
| are permitted TO Introduce free of duty, and
| wheat at the reduced rates proposed in the new
bill. So certain IS considered the passage of tho
bill, largo amount Of grain has been introduced
under this stipulation of the customs) The an
nouncofnent OF a change in tho Corn Laws a.
once advanced very considerably tho price Of
gram IN the Baltic. Why does II not raise il
here? For the good reason that those who have
always supplied nearly oil the foreign demand Of
Britain for grain are much nearer thnn nre.
and can sell lower than But wo arc
asked why tho Tariff and Banks do not keep up
the price of produce7 That is, we repeat q
beautiful question for those to ask who arc war
ring against both. We need not say to tho SEN
sibe farmer that the price of grain cannot DO
kept up when tho supply is greater than tho
demand, both at home and abroad. for he knows
that already. But, me may ask the Press in re.
turn, what kind of prices would have if the
home market, which is now, in Massachusetts
alone, worth more than oil the rest of the world
together, destroyed, and the thousands who
directly and indirectly engaged in manufac-
turing compelled to take to farming for
livelihood! And wo may ask, too, if one-half Of
the money now advanced and used to buy pro-
ducc was withdrawn whether it would possibly
exert any other than depressing effect prices!
Tho Locofoco plan TO Tase prices IS TO break
down the home market and increase the proper
ton Of farmers ard cultivators Of the coil, What
think YOU of III viii they be good enough to
tell rs how i. is to be done. and why tho modif-
cation of the Corn Laws does not raise the prices

benef, Of the farmers: they understand tho mat
ter already; but we wish to hear little Locofoco
logic.-O. S. Journal.
