General Taylor, the man of men, had had
the audacity to lay the knife of executive ap-
pointment to some of these blood-suckers--to
lop off the heads Of those who had been piiIa-
ging the national treasury for years, to make
way for men worthy of the station, and honest
enough to care for the wants of the people.
Then the criesof prescriptions another victim
placed under the guiIlotine! and sundry other
epithets were hurled at the administration.
But their mimic thunder pealed in vain, and
though the giant sons of Locofoeoism have
piled Ossa on Pelion to overthrow the Presi-
dent and his Cabinet, their many efforts have
fallen as harmless as pointless arrow on a
corselet of steel Determined,to harrass that

recklessness hitherto unknown in political his

Indifferent which has been recommended by
the President or bis Cabinet. AS we have
said before, it is amusing to mark these efforts,
yet it is even also a source of sorrow. when we
consider that they are men of like passions as

principle of political honesty and justice, that

Such. dear reader, is the history of the "bit-

that if the end is to be as bitter in proportion

A TIMELY HfNt-WHIcH DIscoEcER4Ep 4

appropriations had been frequently asked and

Ahnnt New Mexicn.

The bitter-enders in Congress are oppressed
with a terrible idea: that President Taylor has
had something very Important to do with the
formation of the constitution of the new state
of New Mexico, and the adoption thereof by
the people; and they are pouring in perfect
shower of resolutions of inquiry about his
agency in the premises We presume they
will be as wise after they get through as they
are now, But, to the people of the north, we
apprehend, it win not be regarded as very
criminal affair if that movement was assisted
by the Executive, inasmuch as slavery is for
ever prohibited in that state as well as in
California
1t is one of the strange things of the times,
that this Mexican war, which was brought on
by slave propagandists, and supportedby them
for the purpose of adding more territory to the
area Of slavery, should thus turn to ashes in
their grasp, and that the people thereof should
take the very doctrine that was used by the
south against the proviso, and proceed of them
selves to erect new and independent states,
with the curse of slavery forever barred from
their soil! Thus has Providence brought good
out of evil, and turned the wrath of these men
to the praise and building up of genuine lib
erty in the land. 70. s. Journal

The Greenwich Planet-vvatchers.


Summer is his time of labor; winter his
time Of rest II appears that in our climate
that the nights on the whole, are clearer than
the days, and evenings less cloudy than morn
ings Every assistant takes his turn as an OBJ
server. and chain of duty is kept up night
and day; at other periods, the busiest portion
of the "a hours at the observatory, is between
nine IN the morning and two in the afternoon.
During this time they work in silence, the task
being to complete the records of the obserya-
tons made, by filling in the requisite column
OF figures upon printed forms, aud then adding
or subtraeting them as the case requires
Whilst thus engaged, the assistant who has
charge Of an instrument, looks from time to
time, at the star-regulated clock, and when it
warns him that his expected planet is nearly
due. he leaves his companions, and quietly re-
pairs to the room where the telescope is ready.
The adjustment Of this has previously been ar
ranged with the greatest nicity. The shutter
is removed from the slit in the roof, the as
tronomer sits on an easy chair with movable
back. If the object he seeks is high in the
heavens, this chair back is lowered till be al
most lies down; if the star is lower the chair
back is raised in proportion. He has his note
book and metallic pencil in hand. Across the
eye-piece of the telescope are stretched seven
lines of spider web, dividing the field of view.
If his seat requires change, the least motion
arranges it to his satisfaction, for it rests upon
a railway of its own. Beside him is one Of the
star-clocks, and as the moment approaches for
the appearance of the planet the excitement
of the moment increases. The tremble of inn
patience for the entrance Of star on the field
of view is like that of sportsman whose dog
has just made full point, and who awaits the
rising of the game When star appears, the
observer in technical language, takes second
from the clock face that is he reads the Sec
ond with his eye, and counts on by the ear the
succeeding beats of the clock, naming the Sec
onds mentally. AS the star passes each wire
of the transit, he marks down in his jotting
book With a metallic pencil the second, and the
second only, of bis observation, with such a
fraction of a second as corresponds, in his
Judgment, to the interval of time between the
passage of the star and the beat of the clock
which preceded such passage.
