lect Mr.. Polk, overthrow the Tariff of AZ,
re-enact an odious and oppressive Sub
treasury, annex Texas, involve us in the
war with Mexico, commit twenty-five thou
sand citizens to a premature grave, and
squander over one hundred and fifty mill
ions of the public treasured Does not a
large share of the responsibility of all these
evils lie at the door Of those who, by a third
party movement, defeated Mr.. Clay? Who
ever takes a similar course now, will incur
dread responsibilities. What if war again
should follow from 1.-THE annexation of
Cuba or indefinite extension on the side of
Mexico? ! cannot believe that any such
sudicial policy will be pursued. No the
hour OF retrlbution has come, and those
who have been gambling with war in refer
ence to the Presidency, will find themselves
put down by man who by his noble con-
duct and brilliant exploits has raised him

as he possesses the utmost purity and excel

THE INVENTION OF THE vi.

LANCASTER. Inne 10. 49,

LANCASTER, June 10, 1913.
MEssRs. EDIToRs Il noticed an article
in your paper on the 9TH inst, giving u la
BILE Of distances from Vera Cruz to Mexico,
measured by the viameter," attached to
one of the carriages Ola battery which late
ly went up to the city of Mexico. 1t may
be interesting to your readers to know the
history Of this celebrated, but simple ma
chine.
In the year 1915, when General Taylor
and that portion of the army under him was
ordered to the Rio Grande, the late Lieut..
George Stevens, (son of Henry Stevens,
Esq. of Barnet, w., of the I'd regiment of
Dragons, was despatched on Typographical
engineering service, and was ordered by
General Taylor to survey the route of the
army from Fort Jessup, La, to Corpus
Christi, Texas. Lieut.. Stevens, being an
inventive genius, constructed this "viamc-
ter" out of an old wooden clock, and at
tached it to the axetree of cart given him
by his commanding general for the purpose,
and in the hub fthe wheel he drove a spike,
and every revolution of the wheel the spike
would strike a pin in the clock and cause the
hand to move one notch, thereby indicating
the circumference of the wheel and the dis
lance that the army had travelled every day
by looking at the clock" as the officers
used to say.
BY this piece of mechanism Lieut.. Ste
vens was enabled to make perfect survey
of the route for the army, drawing OF
which is now in the war department. Lieut..
Stevens received some very fattering COM
pliments from the President, the Secretary
of War and General Taylor, for the beauti-
full and ingenious style in which the survey
was made.
A few days before the battles of the Stl
and 9th of May, Lieut.. Stevens, not know
ing what might be his fate, desired that hi:
Government should be the owner of thi:
valuable invention. lie gave it to the Quar-
termaster's department for the use of the
United States, and after passing through
those battles unscathed, Lieut.. S. was
drowned while leading his squadron across
the Rio Grande on the 18th of May.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept %, I94S
Expedition of Inspection of the State and Prospects
ofthe Campaign in the State of Pennsylvania.
Agreeably to the object of eur present mission
from the office of the Ne,c York Herald, we have
the honor to report our arrival here in this eve
nngs train.
The compalgn drags heavily on all sides of this
Presidential triangular contest. 1t appears to be
pretty generally conceded, that the main question
lies between Cass and Taylor-that Its decision
depends upon the States of Ohio and Penn
sylvania-that it will be necessary for Gen. Cass
to secure both these States to secure an election,
and that the loss OF either will give the victory to
Gen. Taylor.
Admitting these premises the Cass and Butler
men of this city rely upon majority OF from ten
to twelve thousand for Longstreth, IN the Cover
nor's election, the moral effect OF which they as
sumo will be equivalent to a surrender of the field
by the wings on the Presidential contest.
The truth need not be disguised The success
of Gen. Taylor in Pennsy lyania depends upon the
free soil movement. II will be an object OF our
researches to ascertain the probable strength OF
this ticket in the Presidential test. They have
agreed to let the Governors election go by de-
fault between the two great parties OF the day, the
free sellers blending with, or withholding them
selves from, either side, as they may individually
think proper.
Some recent speculations of ours growing out
of the free soil convention at Reading, have
awakened an evident alarm in the mind of the
editor of the PtnnsyiuGnian, and we suppose it to
be from the fact that there is some show of argu-
ment In the case. We believe that The State is
not quite SO sure for Cass as Arkansas We be-
leve that Longstreth will be elected by large
majority, but that the tree soil electoral ticket may
be regarded as an impeachment against Gen. Cass,
requiring the full exertons OF his trends to over
come 1T; or at least Justiylng such exertlons as
safeguard against probable result.
These are our Impressions on entering the east
ern border of the State-what may be our conclu-
pect to do In few days, will depend upon as I'M
part al review of the field as from the facts COM
ing under our observation, we shall be enabled to
make. We shall consult all parties, and as far as
possible, steer clear of all personal preferences in
forming our Judgment We shall give you more
deliberate letter tomorrow. The Doctor.
