States compare with the South in political NOR
atty? Has there ever been such a lawless move
ment in the South as the anti-rent affair of New

and, as the Broad Seal fraud in New Jersey, as
the repeated disorganization of the Ohio Legis-
ture!
Pennsylvania is a great central State. She
ought to be moderate and she is moderate on
the most exciting subject of sectional agitation.
Why does the North american, an organ of the
Wing party--a Union loving party par ercel-
lence-why does the North American break
forth into such n bitter unfouunded, and unlucky
sectional assault at this particular exigency? If
such an attack had been made in any part of the
South on the North, the American would have
been the first to denounce it MS Southern ultra
ism, us reasonable, and would have fallen into
a violent fit of moderation and conservatism
The truth is however, that such attacks rs the

The HERKIMER Mass MEETrNG.-The Demo-
Gratis Of Herkimer meet tomorrow to declare their
hostility to any compromise of the question of
Freedom--and to demand the admission of Cali
fornia without condition or delay.
Since that meeting was called, the Federal
branch OF the Compromise party have, by pro-
vidental dispensation, obtained the control of the
government; and one distinguished man who stood
between them and their schemes, and who was the
firm friend of California, will be on his way to the
grave while this meeting is held.
These things, by giving an unexpected gravity
to the crisis, will give new weight and moment to
what this meeting may declare. We know that
1t will speak with firmness and courage.

persons and papers, that the leading advocates
of the pending plan of Compromise in the

of the most talented in his profession, has re-
signed his position one of the Professors in the
New York Medical College of the University.
The following is his letter of resignation addressed
10 DR.. Draper, Of the College,
PARIS, June IL, 1850.
DEAR DocroR:-It has been the pride of my
life to labor to build up medical school in New
York, and know it is believed by my colleagues,
and admitted by the profession at large, in all
parts of our country, that have done my share
TO bring the college to its present state of pros
perity and usefulness. To dissolve my connec-
lion with it is, therefore, exceedingly painful but,
Professor, am reconciled to it by sense of
duty which owe to my friends and myself
You will, therefore, please accept this, under ex-
listing circumstances, as my resignation Of the
Chair of Surgery in the Medical Department of
the University of New York
Yours truly, V. MOTT.

CAPTAIN RYNpERs AND THE RArPNGs.-The
indomitable leader Of the Empire Club, who has
been all his life familiar with the knockings, and
las always come out first best from the fray, has
at length been compelled to knock under. The
Rochester knockings have foored him. Having
been prevailed upon to attend the levee of the
mysterious ladies, in company with a committee
Of the press" the valiant captain, in imitation OF
the great lights Of the age who have preceded him
in those tcklish precincts, publishes the result of
his Investigations for the benefit of the world at
large With the shrewdness for which he is dis
tingushed, the worthy captain reffains from COM
hitting himself fully on the subject of the knock
ings. He says they may be an imposition, but
canddly confesses he cannot find il out. Alto
gether, he remains puzzled and dumfounded--
and has the manliness to say so. This is great
deal better than the wise hemming and having
and beating the bush among the savans.
By the way, why will not some person in com,
munication with these spirits call up the ghost OF

which he came to his DEATH Here is now Il

A NEw AND fsGEsioUs lSvrxri6s.--The inge-
nuity of understanding downaeasters--isg gem
orally considered the highest deyelppemento OF IN
ventive genius, and whatever is necessary for ma
ahinery to accomplish il is supposed they can pro-
duce. To this general truth there Is sometimes
an exception, and we have just seen an invention
Tor turning irregular forms, by Philadelphia me-
chanic Mr.. Jonathan Russell, ast-maker, which
accomp fishes something which has not yet been
done by the ingenuity Of the down-eas.ers: there
are machines in use for turning Irregular forms TO
pattern, whose principal and main features consist
in the one continued spiral or helix MOTION, which
the friction point and cutting tools make over and
agsinst rotating pattern and the rotating rough
for turning spokes and other irregular forms, TO
nat,ern which, in our view, is on an entirely new
process-the pattern and rough material do not
Ieyolye. and yet all parts ofthe rough material are
cut away TO the pattern. Another new feature in
il is, that it does not require any chaser TO sup
port the pattern and rough material. The inven-
lion is an improvement over former inventions,
and Mr.. Russell has applied for a pattern for il.
He will receive proposals, by letter or otherwise,
for the use Of his invention, and give guaranty
that is from other machines in use.
