SToPPIso THE FEED.-Mr. Evans of Texas
must be hard customer. At the Baltimore
Democratic Convention, he offered the follow
ing;
J. That il is improper for the President to
appoint to Office members of Congress. or dele
gates making the nomination.
2. That no member Of this Convention will
ssk or accept Of any Office.
,. That we recommend to the people of the
United States hereafter to appoint no member

This was too bad. After all their exertion
IN behalf Of the nominee, thus to cut of thes,
patriots from the very objects for which all
their labors had been performed, was not to b,
tolerated. They therefore laughed it out of tn,
Convention. The President decided il OUT

GEN. TAYLOR'S POSITION.

The Louisiana Delegation to the Wing Ma
tional Convention, submitted to that body a
paper prepared BY them in reference to Gener-
al Taylor's position. The paper was read by
MIR. Saunders, of La, and ran thus:
| 1.-THE position occupied by Gen. Taylor, in
relation to the Presidency, does not seem to be
correctly understood by many persons, and for
that reason, it is deemed proper by the delega-
ton of Louisiana to make such explanations
and statements in relation TO that position, as
may efectually remove all doubt, and the ef-
feet OF Misrepresentation on that point
"Gen. Taylo has taken no part i'm bringing
his name before the American people in con-
nection with the Presidency, nor does he PR
lsent his name to this convention as a candi-
date. His friends throughout the country, ra-
ther discouraged than encouraged by him, have
placed him prominently before the nation, as
worthy Of filling the place once occupied by
the Father of his Country, and Gen. Taylor
from a sense Of duty, has assented to the nomi-
lnation.
"He considered himself in the hands of his
friends who have honored him with their choice
He has publicly and repeatedly stated that they
might withdraw him whenever they thought
the interests of the country, i'm their opinion
1.-THE circumstances in which his name has been
drought forward, that it would be proper in
him TO withdraw himself. Such has been his
position since he assented to the use of his
name, subsequent to the capture Of Monterey,
and such is his position ,iolr.
"On behalf of the delegation Of Louisiana,
Twill further state that Gen. Taylor desires il to
he understood, that, in his opinion, his friends
lwho come into this convention are bound 10
abide by its decision, and TO sustain the nomi
nee "heart and soaP'-that General Taylor
recognises in his friends in this convention
those Who have the right TO withdraw his name
and will cheerfully acquiesce in such with
ldrawal.
General Taylor, we are also authorized to
SAY, will hail with entire satisfaction the nom
inalion BY the convention of any other than
himself, being persuaded that the welfare of oul
lcountry requires change of men and meas
lures, in order to avert the downward tendency
of our national affairs.
"ln making this announcement, the delega
lgation of Louisiana wish it perfectly understood
that it involves no inconsistency on the par
of Gen. Taylor.
"In case the choice of this convention shall
fall on another than Gen. Taylor, and hi
friends in this convention withdraw him, i
Twill be their act and not his; but in which HI
will cheerfully acquesce; and by the act OF uni
Ting with this convention. his friends with
draw his name from the canvass, unless he b,
the nominee of the convention.
"And we deem il proper to assure the Wing
lof the Union that we desire the nomination o
lGen. Taylor and his nomination to the Presi
,, ldency on no other than broad nationa
lgrounds."

STEAMBOAT COLLISION AND Loss or LIFE
The 81. Louis Republican Of the 18th, gives an
account Of the meeting of the Steamers Sulta-
na and Grey Eagle about six miles below Ran
dolph. The Sultana ran into the Grey Eagle,
breaking her connecting steam pipe, killing
two persons and scalding Ave or six others
The bull Of the Grey Eagle was cut down to
the waters edge BY the bow of the Sultana, but
the weight of the latter causing her 10 careen
from her. prevented her from making
much water-and with the assistance of the
officers and crew Of the Sultana, the leak was
stopped after reaching shore. The boilers o.
The Grey Eagle were displaced, and she was
consequently, entirely disabled from proceed
imp on Der trip.

THE SCENE or LAST NIGHT.-We never re-
member more good natared excitement in Phil
adelphia than was exhibited last evening"
Chesnut street, in the neighborhood OF the State
House, was completely thronged. Thousands
upon thousands of citizens and strangers must
have been abroad. The causes were, the indie
pendent meeting in the square-(an immense
afair)-the presence in our city Of 30 many
delegates to the Wing Convention-and the ar
rival Of Gen. Cass. In addition to the formal
meeting just refeUed to, there were several
spontaneous Representations in front Of the u.
s. Hotel-in front of Jones Hotel, and be-
tween Fifth and Sixth streets. All these were
attended by crowds Of people-and there was
some good and some very bad speaking. AT
times. the shouts were most enthusiastically
then they were lost inthe groaning. Clay was
the favorite a one moment-Taylor at anoth-
er-snd Scott at another. Ofcourse the regu-
lar delegates took no part in these proceedings.
They were chiefly confined to outsiders, who
mustered in all their strength. One thing, al
least, was rendered pretty plain. that however
popular are other eminent patriots, OLD
LACK has grasp upon the hearts of the Peo-
pie, that the most distinguished in the land
might well envy. bis friends are neither few
nor far between. They may be counted BY
hlq. TIA.

CITY OF EvANsvILLE:
SATURDAY MORNING, JUNE II.

@A new experiment in street making is
about being tried in Philadelphia. The street
tweniy-four feet in width, will be excarated
so that the whole can be used for cellar room,
while granite blocks twelve feet in width will
form the cartway, supported in the sentre of
ihe street by wall, and resting upon the foun-
dation walls Of the stores that are to line either
side OF the street. The blocks will be slightly
inclined towards the centre of the street, where
thegut'er is to be situated. This is gigantic
undertaking, requiring large quantity of gran
ite, the street being no less than three hundred
and eighty feet in length.

CAss A FEpERALIsT EDIToR.-A letter from
Steubenville, Ohio, to the editor Of the Phil
adelLaia News, has the following scrap,
concerning the early history of Lewis Cass 4,
the Locofoco candidate for the Presi--
dency:
An old pioneer-now near seventy years
|of age-gave me a leaf from an unpublished
history to read the other evening. 1t runs
thus
"At the beginning Of the present century, q
ished paper in Marietta, Washington county
Ohio. The senior editor was an adventures
from New Hampshire-the junior from anoth-
er of the New England States. The senior ed.

Federals; and, therefore, it is not at all strang
that the son gave his newspaper strong Fed,
eral bias. Indeed, he was so active in the
Federal cause that his party friends ran him
for the Legislature in opposition to a young
Republican named Woodbridge, who has
since been distinguished Wing Senator in
Congress from Michigan, But the young Fed
eralst was defeated, and the Republican wa.
sent up to the capitol. Chilicothe, as the Rep

THE FRENCH SEWING MAcHINE.--The
inventor of this machine is an humble artisan
who is a great mechanical genius, and who
has been engaged for thirty years in the per.
feciion OF his invention. He received pat
emf for il in France few years ago, and i,
is said that for more Shan twenty-five years
he sought in vain to make it work, and that
the thought flashed all at once upon bis
mind regarding its true and perfect principle
The machine was introduced into London
some time last year and has attracted much
attention in tina, city Il is very cheap
Some are sold for twenty dollars and the
price varies from that to thirty. They are
sold by Mr.. Schmidt, No. % Sutton street
London. The machine is fixed on table
and is very small box. ii is worked by a
ireadle, and every movement Of the foot pro
duces corresponding action in the needle
so that 300 stitches can easily oe made in a
minute. The hands are merely used Il
guide the material being sewn, and by turn
ing a screw the size of the stitch is INSTANTLY
varied. The machine will sew, stitch, and
form cords and plaiis. The stitch is the
tambouI or CROCHET stitch. The whole val
ue of the invention consists in making ina
chinery do what was hitherto done by The fin
gers, and thus resolving problem supposed
impraciicable.
The beauty Of this machine is tina, il car
work button holes and embroider. M. Mag
min who exhibited il in London wore an en-
tire suit worked by it, consisting of coat, YES
pants and all their aPPurienances. To Francs
belongs the ctedi, of this invention. M. Thi
monnler is the name the inventor, and hi.
fame will 60 down TO p1s;eriy with that oil
