the general account under that head, all actual

being filled with steam, on the application
of snow 1t was condensed, and the pressure Of
the atmosphere being removed, the water
boiled The most simple application of steam,
says the lecturer, is in heated houses, baths,
cooking, &c. These are done by pipes, still
or worm, or double bottom vessel: There are
a great many other purposes to which steam Is
applied than those have mentioned Here he
gave an account of the arts in which steam was
used, and the manner of the application, such as

ton for the next four years, possessed Of
commanding abilities. strong conservative
principles, and unquestoned PATRIOTISM
We are yet in a war, brought upon us thro'
mbecilty, demagogueism and want of
principle on the part of Our Chief Execu.
tive. Its trophies are, debt Of nearly a
hundred and fifty millions, tract of terri+
tory purchased at double its worth, and the
sacrifice by disease and upon the battle
field Of upwards Of twenty thousand val
liable lives. The whole continent of Eu-
rope is convulsed with intense connections.
which in all human probability will result
in an entire change Of their governments.
These results, however, will not be accom-
plished without many hard fought battle.
and how long war may exist, and be waged
by one nation against the other, on the con-
tinent, no human foresight can determine.
With ell these powers cur relations are of
friendly nature. If president, conser-
vatve in his principles, and imbued with
irmness, prudence and foresight is elected,
our friendly relations with al other nations
can be preserved and the prosperity Of our
country elevated to degree greater than
she has before ever attained. If, however.
by wrangling and discussion among our
selves, another President is selected of the
Polk or Sam Houston order, we may con.
fdently expect, and a, once should prepare.
to be made party to the intense wars on
the continent, and. as natural consequence
our commerce. our agricultural interests.
and our manufactures must suffer.
This, if no other reason on earth, should
exercise with the Wings a controlling infu-
ence, in securing harmony and concert of
action among them. In the convention tina.
is to assemble on the first Monday in June
will he found the ablest and purest men of
which our party or our country can boast.
To them we shall look with confidence, so
TO direct and guide the proceedings of that
Convention as 10 secure harmony and kind
feelings among the Wings, by presenting
for the suffrages of the people candidates
for President and Vice President upon
whom all can unite. This we believe they
will do. and shall patiently abide the result.
And when once those nominations are made
we shall enter upon the campaign with a
fixed and immoveable purpose to leave no
exertions on our part unresoried 10, TO free
from the blight and mildcw Of Locofoc osm

THE TRUE POSITION FOR ALL
TRUE WHIGS."

We read with great deal of pleasure,
and we trust with much profit an article
under the above head from the distinguished
editor of the Louisville Journal, in his pa.
per of the 2lst inst. 1t was based upon a
decision to which the editor had come, in
declining to publish a communication from
a valuable New York correspondent, urg-
ing the claims Of one Wing over another
as the choice Of the Wing National Con,
vention. The Journal truly asserts:
THE condition Of the grea, Wing party Of the
nation is at this time exceedingly critical one.
Notwithstanding the vast numerical strength Of
the party, there is imminent danger Of division
and defeat. Nothing but spht Of the utmost
moderation and mutual (orbearance on the part
Of the Wings entertaining different preferences in
respect 10 the Presidential candidate can possibly
prevent such disastrous result"
Most fully do we assent to the above
proposition. and cordially do we acquiesce
in the advice of the Journal, that between
the present period and the time appointed
for the assembling Of the National Conven
ton, "a spirit of the utmost moderatio,
and mutual forbearance" should character
ize the conduct Of the Wings, the one to
wards the other. in advocating the claim
of their respective favorites. We do no
mean to be understood as countenancini
any thing like preventing free and fran
expression of opinion among our politics
friends. as to who, under all the circumstar
ces, should be the nominee of the Philade
phia Convention. All we desire is. tina
such expression shall not be urged in a spiI
i. or tone that will prevent any wing fror
cheerfully giving his support TO the nom
nee, be he whom he may.

future, wilhou, feeling the most intense am

TO THE EVENING ZEPHYR.
BY MISS ALICE CAREY.

| sit where the wild bee i, humming,
And listen in vain for thy song;
I've waited before for thy coming,
But never, oh never so long
How Oft with the blue sky above us.
And waves breaking light on the shore,
Thou, knowing they would not reprove us,
Hast kissed me thousand times Ger
So sweet were thy dewy embraces,
Thy falsity who could believe
Some phantom thy fondness effaces-
Thou could'st not have aimed to deceived
Thou toldest thy love for me never,
But all the brigh: stars in the skies,
though striving TO do so forever,
Could scarcely have numbered thy signs.
Alone in the gathering shadows
Still waiting sweet Zephyr, for the.
look for the waves OF the meadows.
And dimples to blot the blue sea.
The blossoms tina. waited TO greet thee
With the heat Of the noontide oppres,,
Now futter SO lightly to meet thee,
Thou'r. coming. know, from the West.
Alas! if thou fndest me pouting,
IT'S only my love that alarms
Forgive, then, pray thee, my doubling,
And take me once more to thy arms!
