APPLICATION OF ELECTRO MAGNETIC POWER TO
RAILWAY Hdrpers' Magazine for No
vcmber contains account of new application
of the power of electro magnetism, which has been
made by Mr.. Nckles. BY means of an appara-
tus which he has invented, Mr.. Nickles is enabled
to make the wheels of locomotives bite the rails
with any degree of force, without increasing the
weight that may be carried 10 the extent of sim
gle grain. All persona are aware that In wet
weather the driving wheels of locomotives often
slip round the rails without acquiring the power
of moving the train. In attempting to ascend all
inclined plane with weight beyond the adhesive
powers of their wheels the same result follows, and
the only practical way of avoiding this difficulty
heretofore has been either to increase the weight
of the locomotives, that the earth's attraction
might bind the wheels more firmly, or construct
the railway on a level, and make the load to be
dragged proportionably light. In either of these
cases there is waste of power, which by Mr..
Nckless application is avoided. His plan is to
convert the wheel of the locomotive into magnet,
and mako it stick TO tho iron rail by an adhesion
similar to that by which slip of steel adheres to
common horseshoe magnet. Several experiments
have been made with large locomotives in full
operation, and the inventor has succeeded in
achieving an nscent rapid one in five. Tho
velocity OF the wheels notion or the condition of
the rails, as regards wetness dryness, does not
in any way effect the development of the magnetic
force.

JOSHUA r. GrDpINGs.-We announced some
time ago that this most notorious of the abolition
lists had, like the of his party joined the De-
mocracy Some of The Democratic papers denied
the fact, but they not very likely to deny 1T
any longer Mr. Giddings, at the last dates, was
making the tour of Massachusetts, speaking in the
different towns and cities in fav jr OF the regular
Democratic ticket On the first of the present
month he made two speeches at Worcester, and he
announced TO speak in Boston on the evening
of the 4th instant.
When such abolihonists as this man Giddings
look for the of their arocious principles TO
the triumph of the Democratic party in the non
slaveholding States, the tendency of that party
throughout the States in question can scarcely fail
to be understood and appreciated at the South.
Democrats at the North may mako great many
pretences for the purpose of cheating the South,
but they show by their whole practice that they
are ready to unite with the abotionists upon abo-
lition ground, or upon any other ground, when
they can hope to gain the slightest advantage
from such union. MIR. Giddings knows them
and goes with them, fully aware that their tri-
umph will be his triumph. Louisville Journal

ssThe Presidents message, at the opening of the
present session of Congress, expresses fully and
plainly his own and the unanimous opinion OF all
those associated with him in the Executive admin
istration of the Government, in regard to what
are called the Adjustment Compromise mea
cures of last session That opinion is, that those
measures should be regarded in principle as
a final settlement of the dangerous and exciting
subjects which they embrace; that though they
were not free from imperiections, yet, in their
mutual dependence and connexion, they formed
a system OF compromise the most concihatory
and best for the entire country that could be OBJ
tanned from conflicting sectional interests and
opinions, and that therefore they should be ad-
hered to, until time and experience should de-
monstrate the necessity of further Legislation TO
guard against evasion abuse. That opinion,
SO far as | know, remains entirely unchanged
and will be acted upon steadily and decisively

Our contemporary Of the Union replies to
our paragraph in silusion to its gross attack ON
the Methodist Church North by informing us
that when it used the words 81 fraud, 7" robbie
~, defrauding, robbing, and stripping" the
"charges and impulations" conveyed in such
language "tcere neper intended tn The sense
stated" The sense stated +" involved the
ideas which these words convey TO ordinary
minds. But it seems they were used In an
other " sense"-a sense nOtstated-wes suppose
the Pickwickian.
These expressions, it appears on explanation,
were ''intended to mark the influence of a mis-
directed religious enthusiasm" This is capt.
tall When the Union speaks of ''fraud" and
robbery" it only means misdrected religious
enthusiasm An enthusiasm" which mani
tests itself in "defrauding, robbing, and strip
ping" may well enough be styled "misdirect-
ed )" but in what sense it can be called ''Teli-
gion" we cannot comprehend. But why Is
not the Union as charitable when we use
the same wordsl When we speak of
the invasion of friendly territory by individuals
in the language Of the law of nations, why
does not the Union understand our expressions
in the same ''sense" in which it interprets its
own? Why does it not construe adventures
of robbery and plumber" into adventures OF
"misdirected enthusiasm"
The Union is rather loose in its notions OF
language. When it speaks of Mr.. FILLMoRE's
"Abolitionism" in future, we shall take 1t fol
granted that it uses the word in some ''sense'
not stated" and without intending to convey
the charges and imputations" which are gen
orally supposed to be involved in the words i
employs.

JUSTICE TO AN AMERICAN AUTHoR.-Perhaps the
ablest of the French writers on Political Economy
is NJ. BAsTIAT, and his ablest book is the Harmo
mics Economiques, on which, more than on all his
other productions, his reputation has been found
ed. The fact that the doctrines and ideas which
give value to that work were not original with
Bastiat. but were borrowed without credit of Mr..
HENRV G. CAREY, has several times been alluded
TO in our columns, and glad to observe that
the claims of our distinguished countryman are
now being admitted in France. In an article pub
lished in the Journal dcs Economists for October
NJ. de Fontenay the intimate friend and literary
executor of Bastiat, finally admits that the latter
was not himself the discoverer of the principles he
SO successfully employed. In an article on Rent,
NJ. de Fontenay, after stating the demolishing ar
gument against the famous theory of Ricardo, goes
on TO inform his readers that "this capital refuta
ton of Ricardo's theory first indicated to me
by Bastiat, who, believe, had borrowed IL from
Cdrey. Its fundamental idea is eminently just"
This confession ia confirmed by the editor of the
Journal in note to the same article, in which,
speaking of the various attempts to rofute Ricardo
by writer's who had not previously prepared them
selves by thoroughly studying and understanding
his theory, he says that "Mr. Carey is the only
writer who seems to to have regularly attack
ed it,"
Ii is matter OF course that the controversy rela-
tive to the authorship of the new views on the sub
Ject Of rent and population, first propounded by
Mr.. Carey, and afterward reannounced by Bastiat,
should have called to them degree of attention
which their intrinsic importance richly merits.
They are now very widely and earnestly studied
in France, and have been made the subject of dis
cdssion for the next prize medal of the poco-eco-
nomical department of the French Academy. We
notice these facts with satisfaction, not only be-
cause they show that justice is being rendered to
our countrymun, but evidence of the spread
of sound ideas upon subject of great practicalim
portance.- Netc York Tribune.
