II is said that the democratic and free soil
candidate is good lawyer. In view Of his res
olu,ions. we arc ready to concede that he posses
SEES faculty indispensable TO success in a bad
| ,auses that is the faculty eff passing of the
= mere counterfeit and semblance of thing for
the thing itself The last creed Of the ex-irce
soil party gives an admirable specimen OF Mr..
Rcddeld's skill in this art, as we shall cndeavor
to show. at the same time demonstrating the vast
difference between actually doing something and
merely pretending to do something between a
genuine article and counterfeit.
THE GENUINE ARTICLE.
We take the Grsi part of the first resolution Of
Mr.. Redfed as an illustration
Resolved, That we here again assert as we
have heretofore. our untcarering fidelity TO demo-
cratic priHcples'
There is a thing done it sa pledge perfect
and complete on the part of the ex-trcc soil par
ty TO yield "unwavenng fidelity to locoiocosm
To and and comfort it, TO defend it, to support 1t.
The thing is toni, briefly, but most completely.
THE COUNTERFEIT.
As an example take Mr.. RedGelds sscold res
olution-the same which the Green Mountain
Freeman labors hard TO pass off as genuine free
soil coin Behold the counterfeit presentment
Resolred That any attempt 10 foist the inst-
tuition Of slavery into any territory under the iu-
risdiction of the Unon-any legislation Of Con
gress that exposes the free citizens of a sover-
elgn State TO perpetual slavery, without due pro-
cess Of law--that denies The trial by jury, and
strips Oft the panoply Of the great writ Of right
Is an invasion of the Legitimate sovereignty Of
the States, an infringement of the guarantees of
the Constitution, and should be promptly repall-
ed"
Wen executed, very; handsome; bearing the
image and superscrption Of good CONDUIT af-
ter all, It may be counterfeit. 1t does nothing
promises nothing, and pledges neither the cx-flee
soil party nor =. ?. Bedfcld to do any thing
This attempt TO loist slavery into federal terrific
ry. and these infringements upon the rights of
freemen and the sovereignty of the States,
" should be promptly repolled" Most certainly
they shoidd: but Tina don't say he ,ciH repcl

ing fidelity" to locolocosm; but, mark YOU, no

Ice Produced by Steam Power.

Mr.. Thos. Masters, of the Royal Polytech-

inventor of various ingenious machines for
freezing, has an apparatus at the Exhibition
capable of freezing upwards Of 100 quarts Of
desert ices (six different sorts are produced in
one machine) every fifteen or sixteen minutes,
ofa perfectly smooth quality. The machines
are also made to produce cylinders Of solid
ice, sufficiently large 10 hold decanterrs Of
water and many bottles. Of wine. The con-
verting steam or vapor into snow may also
be effected by this machine, and in this way
q whole room can be easily cooled. down in

pure water into ice for sherry coblers, cooling
wine, and other purposes, is said to be less
than what it can be purchased for at the ice

The New Costume.

The last Water Cure Journal contains a
lecture delivered in New York, by Mrs. M. S.

over the old style of dress. 1t is accompani-

in different modes of the new costume and
one, as a contrast, in the street-sweeping
waist-squeezing and notwithstanding style.
A festival is TO be given in the Broadway
Tabernacle early in September, when address
es will be delivered by several distinguished
speakers of both sexes. 1t is isexpected that
large procession will be formed of ladies
in the American costume. Many consider
