HORSE POWER.

1OhSE PO w Elk.
\ T the great Agricultural State Fair, held at
a Baltimore, October, lS49, there was the lar
gest exhibition of Horse powers and Threshing Ma
chimes verexhibited in this State, at any other
State Fair in this country, and all thoroughly ex-
amlned and tested by large and competent COM
mitee, who awarded the first premium to the above
power, as the best on the ground. More than fre
thousand of these powers now in use by many
of the best Farmers in the country, and they con-
slider them to be double in power to any of the best
Sweep Powers, more durable and much easier for
the horses. CASH PRIcE, 500.

0fAs evidence that we do not over rate the ca
pacty of this Power and for the satisfaction offar-
mers in want of good machine, we insert the iol-
lowing letter. Just received from one of the most
intelligent and respectable farmers in Virginia

Mr.. E. WHITMAN, Jr.-
Dear Sir Il have for some time intended giving
you a full description Of the operation and success
of the 2-horse wrought iron Railway Power and
Threshing Machine, [ purchased of you last May.
II will give you a few instances of threshing Il
carried the whole machine between 8 and 10 miles
with an OK cart and set it three times different
farms, and threshed from lis to 100 bushels of
wheat in one day, and each time took the machine
out of the cart made the tables; geared the horses;
and commenced threshing in ten minutes. Rev.
Peter Ainsley Col. Richard ]. Muse and Musso
Garnett, Esq, were witnesses to the above In
another instance, l commenced threshing at Mr..
W. r. G. Tribes, at O'Clock in the morning, and
threshed 90 bushels of wheat by IL O'Clock In the
afternoon of same day, and threshed ~ bushels of
wheat before sun down. Mr.. L. ID. Brooks, Mr..
Beverly Brooks, and others, can vouch for the truth
of this statement. I frequently threshcd 100 bush
els of wheat from breakfast to dinner tlme-and
during the season, I threshed 80 different crops,
making in all $3.50 bushels of wheat and the wear
of the machine is scarcely apparent-and Iconsid-
err the labor to the horses no more than blowing In
light land | candidly believe, your wrought-lron
Railway Horsepower and Thresher surpasses any
have seen, and find it is now much better since
your late improvements have been attached.
You will please have tw of your Improved Rail-
way Horsepower and Threshers put up and sent
to me by first conveyance they are for two of my
neighbors-have them landed at Piscataway Bridge.

tween now and harvest.

which are for the Constitution, the Union, and

the Fugitive Slave Law was as follows:
"Rssoloed, That hold the late law in relation
TO the fugitive from service to be constitutional;
that Of the peace it should be fully
tested; and that resistance to legal enforcement
Of that law, or any cry of repeal would call for
the indignant frown of every true friend of. his
country, as it would be in entire disregard of the
political rights and interests of the whole people"

was followed by BENJAMIN II. CURTIS, of Bos-

been attributed 10 him, that, If he has ever en-
tertained such opinions he will be prepared to adj
mt that they were adopted without mature CON
alteration, and that, reflection he has come TO
the conviction that there ID no way in which the
non saveholding States can comply with their OBJ
legations to the Union, and aid in composing the
alarming agitations of the present crisis, and
storing peace to the country, but by sustaining
faithfully and firmly the measures which have been
already adopted. This he must be convinced ID
the policy of the Administration and whatever the
dHas, or any other apologists for renewal of the
agitating slavery discussions in Congress may say,
no member of Congress, elected with the under
standing that he ID to aid in the revival of those dis
cussions, can be regarded as in any sense of the
word member OF the Wing party of the Union.
we have remarked that the result of the cleo
tioh IN Barnstable requires explanation. How
happens 1t that in one Of the soundest Wing dis
tricts in the State Mr. Scudder has received 80 few
votes ! 1t was not to be expected that as a new
candidate he would receive all the support which
would have been given to the present able and
accomplished member from the district had he
been a candidate for reelection. But we have
heard no good reason, unless it were the impress
sion that Mr. Scudder had become identified with
the Abolition party, why his vote should fall OIL 30
sensibly from that which given to Mr. Grin
nell in ls4S. Although violently opposed by many
Wings in consequence of division in the party in
his own town, Mr.. Grinnell received 47I9 votes in
the district. Mr.. Scudder in the late election re-
celved only $500, much smaller number in
of the strong Wing districts than was received by
any other Wing candidate in the State. Such
defalcaon calls for explanation, and if it is owing
to any Misrepresentation of Mr. Scudder's senti-
ments on the great political question of the day. it
lis due to him that his views should be fully under
stood We are anxious that he should have full op-
portunity to do himself justice by the necessary
explanations. We have no disposition to throw any
thing In the way OF his vindicaton of himself as
Wing disposed, if elected, to give his vote in aid of
the measures of the Administration. But if il should
prove, we trust it will not, that he is seeking to
ally himself with the Abolition or Free soil party
in the expectation of receiving their support and is
in favor of renewing the slavery agitation in Con-
gress, or of adding fuel to the excitement the
subject of fugitive slaves in this State, we shall not
be 30 astidious as to forbear expressing opinion
on the subject because reside out of the limits
of his district The Tenth District has for many
years nobly sustained the honor Of the State by it's
representation in Congress, and trust that it
will long continue to do So and that its representa-
tive will never be found in the ranks of discussion
and disunion.
