FLINT Enamel Ware.

Every years experience strengthens the evi.
dence and the conviction that American ingenuity,
science and skill are destined to achieve triumphs
which the world cannot parallel if q fair field is
afforded them, The Steamboat, the Cotton G'in'
the Electric Telegraph perfected and practically
are but small part Of our National contributions
to the enduring wealth of the Race. Hoe Steam
Power Presses are the best machines for rapid
Printing that the world has yet seen Bigeow
has surpassed all other inventors of Power.
Looms Norriss Philadelphia Locomotives are
now drawing Railway trains in almost every
civilized region of the GLOBE and in nearly
every department OF practica! mechanics, from
the building Of the most gigantic Steamships
to the manufacture Of Pins, American genius
has already indicated its asceudancy. It is
soon 1--WE trust to evnce its natural superiority
in the production of Linens, Steel, and of other
important articles for which we have hitherto de.
pended almost entirely on Europe while it has
made valuable improvements even in those arts,
such as the production of Iron and of Silk which
seem for the present to attest it's defeat 1t has
been bafFled in its early efforts in these directions
for want of fair and rightful Protection Exposed
by aimless and vascillating legislation, to the
competition of rivals whose ample capital, cheap
labor and extensive markets were backed by ages
of experience and of well protected growth to ma
turity, they were struck down before they had &C
ouired strength for the trying encounter Give it
now twenty years adequate and assured Protec,
ton, and American Iron.makng will, by inyen'
tions discoveries and improved processes, place
itself beyond the reach of Foreign rivalry, as
American Matchmaking, Pin.making, &c. have
already done. All that the Industrial genius Of
our People needs is Archimedess solid place
whereon to stand, and it, like him, will move
the world That this is no idle vaunt it has al
ready abundantly proved
Some ten or fifteen years ago Mr. FENroS, q
manufacturer of Fire Brick, &c. at Bennington,
Vt. commenced course Of experiments on the
iquefaction by heat and intermingling in various
proportions of the Flint, Quartz, &c. used in his
business or existing in the mountains around him,
with an eve to the production of Wares adapted
to household uses. In shese experiments he per
severed against every discouragement-th alb
sorption of his MEANS the remonstrances of his
friends and the loss Of an eye-until at last he
was enabled to produce Ware combining
strength, purity and beauty in degree utterly
UNPRECEDENTED. This Ware is composed entirely
of Flint, Fedspar and Quartz ground together,
bolted like -four then formed into clay or paste,
and nodded into any shape which taste or use
may suggest, then covered with delicate enamel
and baked to consistency exceeding that OF mar
ble The enamel, be it understood, is formed en-
trely of Flint, without particle OF the metallic
bases which render much Of the Ware now In or
