the constitution formed to show that was designed
for the protection OF the rights OF the mnory and then
argued that the labor OF the political public OF the North
was TO destroy indirectly the institution OF slavery in the
States while admitting that by the letter OF the constitu
ton IL should be sacred from their assaults The South
were awakening TO knowledge OF the actual condition
OF things, and in five years he felt assured the result OF
this aousng would be TO force the North 10 choose be-
tween two alternatives only-between stopping their agi-
talon OF the slavery question, or dissolution.
The charge that the South had monopozed most Of the
Offices Of the general government had no foundation
ing her public men longer, keeping them very much
longer her service, than those OF the North continue
in public HE Thus they naturally qualified, better
perhaps than their northern contemporaries MIR HAR-
gument to show that the South had shared equally with
treasury This view MI 0Ra denied, arguing with sta
tstcal quotations prove the alacy OF this position OF
Mr.. H. So in the case OF that gentleman's effort TO
show that the North had contributed equally with the
also denied and argued length 10 dsprove the doctrine
that in the revolutionary the South 3ad not borne
her due share Of that burden
The abolition sentiment OF the North was founded in
anacism, and therefore he had hope OF seeing II
rooted out, being to the interest oil ambitious and u
scrupuous northern politicians TO increase rather than
10 diminish the influence Of that hallucinaton.
The charge that Virginia was not prosperous was I'M
true, as the gentleman went on TO show by quoting
statistics proving that saveholding States there was
far more wealth. according to the number OF free inhab
tants than at me North He should write out and pub
sh what be conceived to be the sentiment Of the South
on the questions a ISSUE not having time to speak them

Another Important Discovery.

A correspondent Of the Cincinnati Enquirer
gives the following statement 'fa new discovc
ry in motive power Just made in that city. Ii
looks quite humbuggcous
"The leading engine builder in our city, who
has made more improvements in the high pres
sure steam engine than any man living, having
accumulated a large fortune (anu having no de-
sire to add to it,) has devoted great portion of
his time and income for several years past, try
ing experiments; and having been convinced,
years since, OF the Importance Of introducing the
low pressure steam engine on our Western boats,
has expended a small fortune in trying to arran-
&c condcnsng air pump, as to increase pow
er and decrease the consumption fuel
He has finally succeeded beyond his most
sanguine expectations has arranged and attached
to steam cylinder, what is called an electro
magnetic air pump, for the generating of steam;
he requires but little boiler, and thinks com
mon cyindcr, hccnty four inches IN diumctcr
and ten feet long, will be sufficient to fill cvlin
der forty-hvc inches bore and eirht feet stroke.
The engine is required to make but two or three
revolutions when vacuum is formed in the
steam cylinder. The steam is entirely shut off
and the fire under the boiler put out Then the
action of the air pump, assisted by two powerful
magnets, will keep the steam cylinder working
up to its full power for twelve or fourteen hours.
When the engine is to be stopped, cock in the
air pump is opened and the atmosphere admitted,
which stops it Immediately. We can assure the
public that we saw a large sized working model
in full operation for several hours, without any
steam being admitted to the cylinder after the
first three revoutions.'

EXTRACTS.
The Railroad loan Taken!

| We rejoice to announce that a Telegraphic
despatch was received yesterday from MIR. Kill
noURs, the indefatigable President of the Rail
Road Co., conveying the gratifying information
that he has succeeded in negotiating the whole
ofthe City Bonds issued in aid ofthe Milwaukee
and Mississippi Railroad, and an additional loan
upon the individual bonds and mortgages held
by the Company. This most welcome intcl-
gencc was received by our citizens with heart
felt delight, as it will be throughout the State
with pride and qualification. It places at the
immediate disposal ofthc Directors nearly $780,
ooo in cash; sum amply sufficient, with the o.
Their means of the Company, to push the road
through to Whitewater, So miles, within a very
few months, and thus secure its eventual and
speedy completion to the Mississippi
In honor of this happy event, bonfres bazed
and cannons roared in streets last night
"A similar salute, three months from now, will
welcome the arrival of the first Train Of Cars
from Waukesha. Our Madison friends, too,
may soon begin to 'iooh ont for the Locomotirc,'
and the day is not far distant when our Mlwau-
kee Iron Horse, starting betmes from the shores
OF Lake Michigan, will slake his thirst at eve in
the trimming Mississippi Hurrah for the Rail
Road!-.W Sent

Mr.. Fillmore has again, to-day, (Sundav,

and feeling him upon the negro question. Gov
ernor Seward, who ''ncver says die continues
to work wires upon him, to compass the rcten-
ton of Ewing; while Mr.. Jacob Collamcr is I'M
derstood to be begging pteously for his own re-

new grand state coach, in which to parade the
avenue; and being essentially careful about his
pennies he gricvcs sally over the prospect Of
selling it and the spanking bays alta smart chance
of a discount. The wags tell funny stories con-
corning Jacobs propensity for saving his cop
Pers. Thus, it is said, that when bringing his
family here, he attempted to 'sfranl1' them on
the Railroad between your city and Baltimore
with the declaration, that 81 am the Postmaster

TREATING A SKlMME1ToN PARry,-A rood
Joke was played off at Lowell, Illinois, a short
time since. The daughter Of Dr.. Bassford was
married to Mr. John Little; and, in accordance
with the rowdy custom Of the day, large crowd
OF various ages turned out during the evening,
to give the happy couple charivari and after
making all the noise they possibly could with
bells, tln-pans, chains, kettles, &c, they went
to firing anvils, guns and pistols, around the
house, until the Doctor finally made his appear
ance with supply Of cake, and after passing it
round among the crowd, they dispersed. But it
was bad lot of cake-each distinct piece con-
tanned tartar emetc, and it would be STRANGE
tale to relate the history OF that devoted band
minstrels during the remaining part ofthe night.

10 BRING THE DROWNED TO LIFE.-At this
season of the year, when many fatal accidents
are occurring, the following advice is particular
" opportune:
"lmmediately as the body is removed from
the water, press the chest suddenly and forcibly
downward and backward, and instantly dscon-
tlnue the pressure. Repeat this violent inter-
ruPtlon until pair Of bellows can be procured
When obtained, introduce the muzz.e well upon
the base of the tongue, Surround the mouth
with towel or hadkerchiefand close it. Direct
a bystander to press firmly upon the projecting
part Of the neck (Adam apple,) and use the
bellows actively. Then press upon the chest to
cxpel the air from the lungs, to initiate the natu-
raj breathing. Continue this at least an hour, or
until signs Of natural breathing comes on.
Wrap the body in blankets, place it near a
lre and do everything to preserve the natural
warmth, as well as to impart an artificial heat,
if possible. Everything however, is secondary
to lnf1atlng the lungs. Send for medical man
Immediately.
Avoid all irictions until respiration shal be in
some degree restored.- Valentine Mott.

Reunion I'm Heaven.
ny WILLIAM rEecErr.

lfyou bright stars which gem the night,
Be each blissful dwelling sphere,
Where kindred spirits reunite, .a
Whom death has torn asunder here;
How sweet il were at once to die, ."
And leave this blighted orb afar,
Mixed soul and soul to cleave the sky,
And sour away from star to star.
But o! how dark, how drcar and lone,
Would seem the brightest world of bliss,
If, wandering through each radiant one,
We failed to find the loved of this,
If there no more the ties shall Irvine, .
That deaths cold hand alone could sever,
All! then these stars in mockery shine.
More hateful ms they shine forever
It cannot beach hope each fear,
That lights the eye or clouds the brow,
Proclaims there is happier sphere,
Than this bleak world that holds us now:
There is a voice which sorrow hears,
When heaviest weighs life's CALLING chain.
IT'S heaven that whispers-Dry thy tears,
The pure in heart shall meet again.

THE SIAMEsE Twins DEAD.-The Paris Jour-
nal des Debats announces the death, in England,
of the famous Siamesc Twins. The Debats
states that according to the London Medical
Times, the two brothers died of marasmus. A
post norton examination proved what has been
constantly supposed by the faculty, viz: that the
two cavities of the abdomen communicated by
means Of the hollow ligament which united them
and that the livcrs Of the twins were connected
by membrane bride about half an inch thick.
