In company with Mr.. NJ. after supper attended

Temperance, and spent the evening very prof

reception from the brethren. It was very graf

mos, successful. There is not licensed grog.
shou in Lancaster District, and public senti.
mon, is so strangely in opposition to liquor sci.
ling, that any one who would set up grog shop
would risk his reputation and he certain TO do
n sinking business. The Division of Sons
above alluded to, now numbers One Hundred
and Twenty-Five members, with 4 steady in.
crease. One initiation was made that night.
The ceremonies were quite we'll conducted, all
the officers having their respective pieces at
their toagucs' end, and had no need to refer
to Books to guide them. They had no great
deal of speech making; but, what was said. was
with a special reference to what was about

MACHINE FOR TAKING TIL: YEAS AND NAYS.
A pampIle, has been handed 10 us for exam
ina,ion, Of Il new machine. which the inventor
calls /" For Popn1i," for taking the yeas and
nays in Legislative assemblies. 1t is patented
dy Mr.. r. L. Monaghan, Of Chester county,
Pa. and has been put in the Hall of The Rep.
resen,ativcs at Harrisburg. Appended To the
description is certificate signed ly the Clerks
and large number OF the Members Of the
House of Representatives, certifying I" the &C.
curacy and velocity with which the machine
works. The yeas and nays are recorded in
minu,e-wiile in the usual course at Washing.
ton the process requires from twenty minutes
10 half hour, and is repeated several times
day. One. fourth Of the time of Congress is
employed in taking the yeas and nays. The
machinery is very simple, consisting oi me-.
,allic register at the Clerks desk, arranged in
as many divisions as there are members, each
division armed with sharp indexes, and these
communicating hy wires with the seats fmem
hers, who mark "yes" or mo" by means OF
levers attached 10 their desks. The idea is no
novel one. # only remained to be shown that
it would work satisfactorily and could bc kept
in repair: and that, it seems, has been tested
favorably at Harrsburg.-N. 0. Crescent.

False Lights on the Bahia mas,

Navlgators passing through the gulf Stream,
on their passage to ports in Cuba or the Gulf
OF Mexico, should be on their guard, as false
lights have recently been exhibited on the Be-
mini Islands, by some atrocious scoundrels, for
the purpose of misleading navigators, and run
ming the ships ashore. The following certif-
cate has been handed us for publication by q
gentleman just arrived from New Orleans.
.- -..-... New ORLEANS, June LIST 1850.
We, the undersigned, do hereby certify and
make known to whomsoever it may concern.
that on the Sth ultimo, at P. NJ, the North
Bemini Island bearing southeast, by compass,
distant nine miles, that we-our four ships be-
ing In company-made revolving light on the
above island. Being well aware Of our posi-
ton we continued on s. S. w. course, when
at ?. NJ. we made the regular revolving light
on Gun Key!
Had we mistook the first light for the Gun
Key Light we should have steered a course
that would have brought us directly upon the
Moselle Shoal. For the benefit of navigation
we think it necessary that the practice of show
ing false lights should be made known

FartiZan Control.

Never before, in the history of our country,
from-such a disposition to disregard, or act
independent of-dictation from partzans, party
leaders, party demagogues, as the present po-
litical horizon at present betokens. Not only
is this true in national, but in state affairs. 1t
would seem as if the masses of the people had
entirely broken away from, and arrayed them
selves in an hostile attitude against those who
formerly swayed them at their will. Clay
and Webster-where now is the potency of
their will Formerly they gave the cue, and
thousands upon thousands caught it up as in
spiration Alas the spell is broken-their
power has departed from them-the people, de-
nying that when they delegated political pow
er to certain men to act for them, they also en-
powered them TO do their hinking-now claim
the right to do their own thinking-the result
of which change is, that instead of having a
public opinion manufactured to order by politi-
cal harpies, they constitute their own opinions
as the criterion-as the touchstone to merit po-
litical support.
In our own State, what melancholy aspect
is presented by the efforts of few leading.
talented politicians, to manufacture public
opinion, averse to that entertained and so I'M
mistakenly expressed by the people.
Is political economy so abstruse a science
that an intelligent people cannot understand it I
