 Dear Sy: The sentiment amoug all classes of ciizens here, rrsspectEe of party, is generally, fl not unanimously, in favor of the compromise of the slavery question, as proposed by the Committee of Ihrleen of the Senate. Tho people will no, agree that any shall oppose it upon technicaty or upon small poiEts of difference, without unqualified and deep censEre. We shall always have in our bosom political parties who differ as to policy and measares But as to the Federal Union and it's pre- servatien, ws except unanimity among the patriots of the country In the North, South, East and West whether whigso or democrats.
 We have already witnessed this sublime devotion 10 the Union in the Senate of the United States. who deserve and will receive the gratitude and ap- plause of the whole country. If any indisiG ual worthy of consideration should form an exception to this love of country. and give proof that the sacredness Of the Union is forgotten, and of less value than personal aggrandzeme or political els- vation, he will be egregiously mistaken in his cal en.stions aud his name will sink, siRk-i will not say to what point of infamy. Southern rights must be respected; the constitution must be sustained, and the Federal Union mast Dc preserved. The course which you have taken relative to the report of the committee and the determination ma infested by you and your co-editor to sustain the coHspro- mise. worthy of the high character which the Union has attained and you will receive the plau- dits of "wsiI done" from all those who have look ed the crisis with deep anxiety, and who value the Union above all party and all selfish consideration ns

MONROE COUNTY PA THURSDAY AUGUST 80 1850

The force operating upon his magnetic cylin-
der throughout the whole motion of two feet, was
stated to be six hundred pounds when the engine
was moving very slowly but he had not been able
to ascertain what the force was when the engine
was running at a working speed, though it was
considerably less. The most important and in
teresiing point, however, is the expense of the
power Professor Page stated that he had reduced
the cost SO far, that it was less than steam under
many and most conditions, though not so low as
the cheapest steam engines. With all the imper-
fectlons of the engine, the consumption of three
pounds of zinc per day would produce one horse
power. The larger his engines, Contrary TO what
has been known befofe,) the greater the economy.
Professor Page himself surprised at the result.
There were yet practical difficulties to be over
come-the battery had yet to be improved-and it
remained yet to try the experiment on grander
scale, to make power of one hundred horse, or
more.
Truly the age is fraught with wonders; and
we can look forward with certainty TO the tine
when coal will be put to better use than to burn,
scald and destroy" .--. --s -.

Advice to Fools.
BY HORACE GREELEY.


Fools are not above taking advice they even
seek it sometimes, though generally after they
have followed their own noses into dlemmas that
they cannot stay in nor see their way out Of We
shall try to give them little that may be taken
earlier if they bave a mind to. .
OF course, we are not green enough to advise
them according 10 their needs--if they were pre-
pared to take such advice, they would not be FOOLS
The advice they will take is that which accords
with their lnclinations, and we shall ply them ac-
cordngly in the following Lseov9 sms5 a.. ae

You cap be more useless there than elsewhere,
and will have TO beg harder and cringe lower
for opportunity to earn living. If you can't
earn anything so, you can probably beg a quarter
dollar by working as hard for it as you need to
earn dollar by honest industry in the country
You can sleep for nothing on some stoop or steps,
when the best bed in the City is not equal to
arm-ful of hay under an apple tree in the coun-
try. sa5
Gram your stomachs Gf you have the where

wited peaches, sun-struck water -melOns, &c, in
the course of the forenoon Only eat enough Of

dinner.
| 4.-You will begin to feel faint. heated and
thirsty, along in the middle of the day now pour
down tumbler after tumbler Of ce-water. II is a
very refreshing beverage, and never made anybo
dy drunk. 1t sometimes kills people, like other
good things, but they generally such as have
been drinking heartily of stonger liquids which
we don't advise you to take being fools, you
will swig these spontaneously without any prompt-

! 5.-When evening comes on, parade about the
I streets while, and then sit lie down. thinly
clad, in the strongest draft you find, with the
least possible clothing What are Summer even

your skin as if rubbed over with printers ink or

this weather. If you are poor, you hardly
sleep under the shelter where there shall not De

Some interesting tests Of III.
merits Of "Bonnell's Improved Pro
cess Of Flouring," are published Il
the Detroit Daily Advertiser, Of "a,
23d inst. One OF these is communi.
Gated by L. A. Spalding a Quaker
miller at Lockport, N. Y, who
manufactures about fifty thousand
barrels OF -four per year. He states
in substance, that by pursuing Bon
nell's process he has recently OBJ
tanned at the rate ofa barrel of super.
fine -four Tor Iour bushels of pure
Ohio wheat, weighing 60 pounds to
the bushel. The quantity obtained
of old, before present improved sys-
TENS OF -four were introduced, was
barrel for FIVE bushels of wheat,
then Al bushels, and then At bushels.
But other experiments show, ac-
cording to the Daily Advertiser, that
through the proper application and
use of Bonnell's process, "whatever
NAV be the quantity now used, it is
no longer a conjecture, but an estab-
Iished fact. there is barrel OF excel
lent superfne -four in 2l0 pounds OF
good dry wheat, weighing so lbs 10
The bnshel-i. e. 3 Is bushels"
Another evidence Of the beneficial
effects Of the application Of the prin-
;iPles Of true science TO agriculture
md manufactures. We can hardly
,redit what is alleged as TO the ex-
RENE saving Of wheat by the en-
'loyment Of Bonneil's improvement;
'ut taking the experiments of L. A. |
'palding, even, and we find results Of
importance.
In what Bonnelrs improvement
onsisis, or how far ii differs from
'pofford's we are not informed.
