Del,uetrs 20 the Corx.,tto,

We arc able to-day very nearly 10 complete our
let Of the delegates elected 10 the State convention
VIC have classified them as Whgs or Democrats,
although in not more than two or three Of the dis
tricts did the election turn upon party politics.
The Whigs, il will be seen, constitute very nearly
fair proportion Of the body, Notwithstanding the
cuuulnEly devised arrangement Of the districts, by
which II was calculated that large majority Of
them would elect Democratic delegate excl u-ivclv.
slight scrutiny Of the let will satisfy the reader
Of the remarkable fact that in most Of the decided
ly Democratic districts ono or more Wings have
been elected, and, on the other hand, many Wing
districts have elected mixed ticket The Demo
crats elected from Wing districts will scarcely VIC
late the sentiments of their constituents 80 IA ~ 10
attempt 20 bend the convention % any political
purpose, and the Whigs, being ia the minority,
will have power 20 do sos We may therefore,
hope that the constitution will be revised and re-
modelled without any reference whatever 10 the
schemes Of this or that political party
In regard 90 what arc called the reform Issues VIC
believe VIC may soy that four tfs Of the members
elect arc advocates Of the general principle that the
people arc competent 20 the selection Of all their
agents by direct suffrage. How far this principle
may be modified in its practical application, will,
We presume, be one Of the principal subjects Of The
conventions deliberations. That il will be en-
grated upon the new constitution, there can be
manner of doubt
The basis question will probably give rice 10 ne
grave division Of opinion between the eastern and
western delegates. ne IL did in The convention Of
1923 30. Amongst the scventy-six gentlemen,
eec'cd from TIE Two eastern DIVISIONS OF the state

II remains yet also to be proved whether the
power will increase in proportion to the size OF the
engines. This principle seeUs TO be strongly IN e
die tied by past ex periments, but yet II cannot be
established by calculation or process OF reasoning
Exnarrnent on an extensive scale can alone deter
mine this point A part of the work preparatory to
building a locomotive engine has been done, but IL
seems necessary 10 try further experiments before
mourning the expense of another large engine up
on the plan above mentioned. The rotary form of
the engine has not been tested although possesses
advantages not to be found in any form Of the re
ciprocaing engine. There some obvious dis
advantages attending its construction but 1t ia
hoped that they will he outweighed more cs-
pecally this form Of the engine will occupy less
than one half the room required for the recipro-
eating form II would seem very desirable that the
investigation thus begun, and far successfully
conducted, should be carried at least beyond
certain issue, and that every important point should
be settled, and particularly that of its availability
on extensive scale.
The power is peculiarly fitted for purposes of
navigation, if it can be made subservient, and
trial upon scale of 100 horse power seems TO he
the only mode Of arriving at a definite conclusion
upon this point II is obvious that preliminary to
such an undertaking, great many experiments
will be absolutely necessary, and such only as one
quite familiar with the difficulties OF entering upon
an entirely new field of operation can properly
appreciate.
In conclusion, beg leave to refer you to the en-
closed reports of debate before the American Sci
enthc Convention, recently held at New Haven,
which will indicate the opinions of men OF science
upon this all important subject.

for sending passengers through from New York to
San Francisco and back.
In the first attempts of this company to meot the
wants of travel to California, by providing ships on
the Pacific. in connexon with their ships from New
York TO Chagres they were prevailed upon, AT the
urgent solicitation of the great number then desir-
Gus to go out, to sell tickets for through passag
from Panama in advance for their ships then GO
ing round. This was done from a desire to accom-
modate those who could procure passages in no
other quarter, and by which, whatever might be
the detention, they would reach San Francisco
sooner than by any other line. Unforeseen diff
cultcs, and the prevalence of fever Rio Janeiro
at the time, prevented their ships from reaching.
Panama as 5oon as was anticipated, and caused de-
tenton at the lsbmus, which was increased by the
mpauence of the passengers in going forward,
against the advice of the company, at an earlier
day than the chips could possibly reach Panama.
These interruptions all removed. Three
OF the four ships OF the company, intended for the
Pacific service, have arrived at Panama and seve-
raj OF them have performed trips to San Francisco
and back; so that the company now able to
give the public the assurance that the voyage
through from New York to San Francisco will be
performed with regularity and despatch.

TOBACCO TWIS T,

! We find Ourselves in situation in which it ma
be prudent 10 be silent; yet we will remark that,
were our correspondent not quite SO plain spoken,
il is likely should concur with him in all his
views.
The other day, for perhaps the hundrcdth time,
We stood looking in mute admiration at the picture
Of the embarkation Of the pilgrims, in the rotunda
Of the Capitol, and we thought how delighted we
should be could we but induce number Of our
fair friends 10 their hair in the style there
rcvcalcd-a style Of perfect simplicity, and which
painters and scuptors have shown their admira-
ton Of by copying in all their productions Of fancy
and in all their portraits in which the assent Of the
subjects could be obtained.
The apostle Paul said that long hair was the go-
~ Of women, and he Is often referred to by those
who would continue the present vile practice. By
this authority, however, arc they condemned, for
that Is not glory which ia concealed A mcr
it and a virtue may be concealed, but that only
s glory which is revealed to the worlds admira-
ton The flowing ringets of woman arc rlori-
Gus indeed; but in the compressed mass Of hair by
which headache and mental cnerystiun are pro-
drced, there is no glory, and no Observance Ct
Paul's intimaton. So learned aud eloquent man
az Paul could not be insensible to female beauty;
and hence, in common with the poets, and paint
ere, and sculptors, and orators Of all aCcs he COM
pretended that long hair should be the glory Of a
woman's personal beauty, and that therefore it
should not be hidden from The view Of men, nor
twisted into unsghtly soddcn masses. We accord
with old Ben Jonson in the preference expressed
in his comedy Of the Silent Woman:
"Rohcs loosely flowing, hair as free
Such sweet neglect more takcth nc
Than all the adutcrics Of art.
They strike mine eyes, but not my heart"
Touching the matter OF smoking, our correspou-
dent is maniiestly wrong. Each subject should be
considered solely with reference to iLs own merits
and, 90 considered, thcy will both fell.
\ BIC OSE.--We saw yesterday cantclope that
weighed thirteen and bali pounds and measured
twenty one inches in length and twenty four in
circumference. II was regular obong, and not
unlike Mr.. PenniuEton's steam balloon; and lie
flavor was delightfully."- fine. II grew upon the
farm Of Mr.. Robert ). Patterson, near this city,
who has many more Of the same sort. If any one
can boast n superior article in this line, we would
like TO sec him fetch IL along.
