For the first time, we yesterday had an op-
portunity Of witnessing the testing of the new
method of proving the diurnal revolution Of the
earth. The experiment can be tried at tri-
fling outlay, and is certainly one of interest.
A gentleman in this city has suspended an or
binary clock weight by means of small wire
reaching from the garrett ceiling to the entrance
of the passage on the first floor. 1t is thirty
feet in length, and makes about twenty-one
vibrations per minute. With a view that it
might move with as little friction as possible,
and turn freely in horizontal direction, steel
ring with an indentsed inner surface was pro-
vidsd, on which plays hardened steel point.
To this the wire of the pendulum was fastened.
Directly under the weight, and on the floor,
is placed circle, drawn on paper, divided into
degrees, minutes, and seconds. The pendu-
lum was started in straight line, apparently,
but, in the course of two hours, there was a
very perceptible departure from it, for the rea-
son that the earth was turning round.

The Elder Adams.

We had supposed that political ante-dilu-
vianism had died out with the late editor of the
Union, and that his successor would deal more
with things that have occurred since the flood.
To our surprise, however, he has almost got back
to the principles Of '98-the next door to it.
Under his auspices the ghosts of "the elder
Adams, )" and of the Alien and Sedition laws, are
brought upon the stage to frighten children
with, and all with the protestation that the
Wines are responsible Will such nom
sense as this light up single extinguished
furnace in Pennsylvania, or carry another
ton of her iron to market ? Will it re-
move snag from the Mississippi, or clean a
harbor, or build breakwater on any of the
great inland seas2 Will it extinguish sedition,
North or South2 If it will do nothing of all this
it is of no practical use or purpose whatever.
Sane men might as well sit down and make
mouths at each other as talk about '96 and
1900, and the elder ADAMS in connexion with
any existing political questions or parties. This
did very well in Virginia, when Brutus, and
Cato, and Julius Cesar used to write in the
elder Mr.. RIrcHIe's newspaper but it will not
answer now. The people are altogether too
fast for it,

IPREsIDEsT FILLmoRE's MESSAGE.
1.-THE Presidents message, at the opening ofthe
present session of Congress, expresses fully. and
plainly his own and the unanimous opinion of all
those associated with him in the Executive admin
sistration of the Government, in regard to what
are called the Adjustment or Compromise mea-
ssurss 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 connection, they formed
system of compromise the most conciliatory
and best for the entire country that could be OBJ
tanned from conflicting sectional interest and
opinions, and that therefore they should be ad
hered to, until time and experience should de-
monsrate the necessity of further legislation to
guard against evasion or abuse. That opinion, SO
far as know, remains entirely unchanged, and
will be acted upon steadily and decisively The
peace Of the country requires this; the security OF
'the Constitution requires this; and every consde-
ration of the public good demands this. If the
Administration cannot stand upon the principles
the message, it does not expect to stand at ALL"

clared and he remembered quite well the
emphatic assertion of those patriots =" Our
cause is just and our Union is perfect"
Read it, said the speaker, and you will find
that it is founded upon just cause. Their cause
is ours-it is the cause of America--of the
New World-of self-government--of civil and
religious freedom. 1t was new and fresh then,
and it is now full of life, and vigor, and ami
nation, and every thing that excite pa
trotic emotion. And the Union is perfect, and
will last until it has spread from the pole to the
equator, and will always be fresh. There have
been dangers; but this Union is now perfect,
thank God! and will endure forever. Ii, said
he, you are true to it as your fathers were-if
your great Keystone State is true to it, it will
not be broken. He that says, in the midst of
difficulty and trial, there is no danger, is not
man Of large comprehension. There is no dan
ger now, but there has been.
Another great event--the third to which the
speaker alluded as having rendered Philadel-
phia sacred ground-was the formation Of the
Constitution. Here met HAMILTON, FRANZ
LIN, and the other great men Of the time, and
here it was framed and put in force, stamped
with the immortal name of WAsHINGroN-a
name which will endure while patriotism
remains to us, and which nothing but the
"wreck of matter and the crush of worlds"
will ever obliterate. After some further re-
marks, MIR. WEBSTER concluded amid great
applause, and retired. His remarks were
frequently interrupted by earnest accama-
tions. Mayor GILPIN, who had introduced
the PRESIDENT and the SECRETARY OF
STATE to the assemblage, now came for
ward, and in a few spirited remarks thanked
the people for the manner in which they had
received the constituted authorities of the ma
ton; after which the audience dispersed.
The PRESIDENT and SECRETARIES afterwards
sat down to most sumptuous entertainment, at
which the MAYOR, CoUNens, and other public
authorities were present, and every thing passed
off with the best spirit possible.
