GUNPowDER As A MOTIVE POwER-We have
bad an opportunity Of inspecting mo oiel Of novel
aud very curious machine, invented by Mr. Dag
gett, Of Roxbury. The invention is an engine, to
produce either stationary or locomotive power,
without the aid of steam-the propelling medium
being nothing but gunpowder, acting BY concus-
Of q large reservoir, constructed Of iron, in the
form Of a steam. engine boiler, with two explosive
chambers attached to ii, on one side At the con-
nection Of these explosive chambers with the roser
voir. there are valves which open into the reser.
voir, against spring. The reservoir being hlled
with atmospheric air, blast Is given in one Of the
explosive chambers This shock acts as plunger
10 an air pump, and forces a new supply Of atmos.
pheric air from the explosive chamber into the
servoir The air u worked OF from the reservoir,
like steam, operating upon piston, and giving the
motive power. When one explosive chamber has
been discharged, aud the valve closed, as IL is In
stanty By the force Of the spring the action Of the
machine is such as TO produce a similar is,harge
10 TIE other chamber-and thus q regular an 4 con-
slant fresh supply Of atmospheric air Is kept up.
ne disehsrge is effected BY hammer, moving
bsckwards and forwards with the machine, and
striking, In the manner Of gun lock, upon the
plosive chambers alternately. The powder Is sup
piled by the movement of the machine, and in such
quantities as may be desired-the arrangement

Tbs Emperor Of Austria has announced
HIS intention OF governing that empire by bis
own will, We admire his frankness II no
had been polite, he would have called his proc
lamation a compromise. OF course there are
plenty Of submissionists in Austria, bat not
more than in the South. We are governed by
the mere will Of msjority--a majority that re-
quires more plumber for its appe ties than SIN
gle despot. But as we have been accustomed
to Constitution, we are not quite ready for It's
sbrogation ia terms. SO We have what Is called
a Compromise thing, which to all men, who
can sec a quarter of an inch before their noses'
amounts TO precisely the same thing as tho Aus
trian proclamation, and that is, that we are to be
governed by the mere will of majori'y--a ma
joity, whose appetite is so much greater than
the Austrian despot's, that it swallows whole
provinces at a single session.

WASHINGTON CITY.
FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER 10, 1851.

Y- The absence Of the senior editor of this
paper. and the sickness u his colleague, for tso
months, must be the apology to our readers and
correspondents, for any neglect or nadyertence
they have experienced in reference TO their let
tiers or the selections. The latter have been con-
iided to the clerk, who is not versed in Sou bern
politics
We publish to-day the letter of the Hon.
JAMES X. PACLDISG to the Southern Rights AS
sociation of South Carolina. 1t ought to have
appeared several days ago, and would have APP
peared but for the circumstances above referred
to. We endorse emphsticalIy every word of this
letter, and OF the commentary by the Charleston
Mercury. The South has acted in such falter-
ing and ratscidal manner as 10 sacrifice and pros
trate almost every real friend she had in the North
MIR. PAULDrSG stands almost solitary and alone
Ia the consistency, ability, and courage with
which he has supported the Constitution and
the rights Of the South" faithful among the
faithless." His letter speaks for ITSELF 1t is
one of the most able, cogent, lucid, elegant, and
patriotic of all the productions TO which the
pending controversy has given birth. And we
envy not the head or heart of the Southern sub
missionist, who can read it without a pang of
remorse, or blush of shame.

The letter of the Hon. James X Paulding In
answer 10 an invitation form the corresponding
committee of the Southern rights association, to
address the public meeting to be held on the
nth inst, is OF SO remarkable a character, that
The committee have felt it due to the associa-
ton, and to the people OF the whole State, to
deviate from the usual rule, and publish it in
advance Of the occasion The author has long
been sequestered from the turmoil of public
ife and has thus the position of an unpreJudced
spectator; while his abundant experience,
during long career of distinguished service,
makes him most competent Judge. His emf
nent ability, his consistency of opinion, and his
unsuled and unsupported integrity, unite in
giving the utmost weight to bis views of public
affairs ut this time. MIR. Paulding has never
yielded step before the tide of fanaticism, or
compromised a principle for the momentary
success of party. From the commencement OF
this 30 tional controversy, he has steadfastly
and earnestly urged upon the North to do JUS
tce, and upon the South to submit to no sacri
fee of their full and perfect equality in the
Union. lie has not hesitated to maintain that
it WAS better for the North, as well as the South
that the coniederacy should be dissolved, than
that its fundamental principles should be
changed, and its constitution subverted. The
it remains to be seen if the South will be still
more fatally and perverselv deaf.
We need not say much of this last proof of
the ability and high moral tone of Mr.. Paulding
His letter speaks for itself, and in language
that all can understand 1t Is 80 simple and
clear in expression, that the humblest mind can
appreciate il; 80 searching in analysis, and so
comprehensive in scope, that the most cultiva-
ted will feel that there is nothing wanting. We
remember no essay on the questions involved,
that deserves to be placed before it, either for
finished and lucid expression, or for complete
ness and symmetry of argument.
We trust that the press of this State, and the
Southern rights press everywhere, will aid in
giving circulation to this admirable letter. from
one Of thu most distinguished and most upright
of the public men Of the Union In this char
acter alone, Mr. Paulding has right to have
his deliberately expressed opinions on great
public question, made known to the whole peo-
Pile of the Union. AS citizen of the North,
who, in position that is beyond all suspicion
of selfishness or prejudice, gives to The cause of
the State the great weight of his calm approval
and support, he has peculiar claims to our atten-
ton, and his words deserve to be treasured
They deserve it still more for their own rare
merit

From the Democrabsc Pioneer.
State Sovereignty.

The Georgia Constitutionast says 80 Moth
ing is more surprising than the change which
has taken place in the sentiments of many of the
old State rights and State sovereignty men of
other and purer days. Some of them and some
presses in the South, argue now as if the States
bore the same relation to the general govern
ment that the counties do to State Former
ly the opinion was almost universal in Georgia,
and throughout the whole South. that the rela-
ton of the State to the general government,
was that of creators to the creature. Now, the
creature is greater than the creators. What be-
comes Ct State sovereignty under this view of
the case?
Was ever inconsistency exhibited in more
glaring colors than by some of the members Of
the constitutional Union party, who while pro-
Tossing to believe in the doctrines of the Yir-
ginia and Kentucky resolutions of 1898 and
80, deny the right of State accession? What
will they do with the part of the rat resolution
of the Kentucky legislature in 1898: aThat to
this compact, each State AccEDED AS STATE,
and as an INTEGRAL PARTY; its Co States FORM
ing, as to itself, The other pariythat the govern
ment, created bv this compact, was not made the
exclusive or final Judge of the extent of the pow
ers delegated TO itself since that would have
made us discretion and not the constitution, the
measure Of its porers-but that, as in all other
cases OF compact among parties having no CON-
mon judge, each party has an equal right to
judge for itself, as well of nfractions as of the
mode and measure of redress p OF course, then,
ifa State has the right thus TO Judge, it might
decide that secession would &c proper mode
and measure Of redress. We are unable to see
how any one can admit the sovereignty of the
States, or believe in the doctrines of the Vir-
ginia and Kentucky resolutions, ard deny the
right Of State SECESSION

the committee and Mr.. YuIee
JACKSONVILLE. goth Aug. 1851.
Hon. ID. l.. YULEE--Dear Sir: The under
signed have been appointed by meeting of
your fellow citizens Of Duvai county to greet
you with heartfelt welcome on your return
amongst Them, and to invite you to partake with
them of public dinner, on Saturday next, or
any other day that will better suit your convent
ence.
In conveying to you this token Of the es-
TEEN and confidence Of your fellow. citizens, the
committee cannot withhold the expression of
tire appreciation with which they have marked
your consistent and patriotic conrse in the SEN
ate, on the question which now agitates the con-
iedel cy; and their admiration of the signal
ability and eloquence with which you disputed
inch by inch, the advance OF the enemy on the
constitutional rights of the South.
The fatal 'compromise" was forced upon the
South In spite of the prophetic warnings of her
truest and wiSest sons; their patriotic counsel
passed unheedcd-their claim to equality under
the Constitution was derided--the Sorth was
robbed of her share OF the public domain, in
violation of former conpromse,-and withal,
that "peace and quiet" which were promised us,
as recompense for our wrongs, are no where
to be found
Accept the assurances Of our high esteem,

MIssTssIPrL-The Southern rights party in
this State, has been routed in the late election.
"horse, Foote, and Dragons" Well, this is
only the beginning of the war--the end of the
first campaign. In like manner the patriots in
the American revolution were defeated at Bun.
ker Hill and at Long Island and in the Jerseys; ;
and, they we're driven out of Boston, New York
and Philadelphia; bm hoo was IL at Yorktown ?
However, the result of this election will not
be so interpreted. The Abolitionists will claim
the glory of what has been done--in some such
language as this: Georgia has submitted
Alabama has laid down her arms and Misss-
sippi surrendered the battle therefore, is won
the field is ours-and il shall 90 hard if we do
not reap the reward of our victory !" And they
may now add, in the language of the London
Times, slavery is doomed" and its complete
determination is at last reduced to a mere ques-
ton of time only.
Rejoice. then, if you can, We who have
achieved this victorY-reoce for the South

Election her reward must be eternal infamy--

Spanish faith has long been proverbia Those
who have trusted in it have rarely failed to dis
cover its worthessness. Spanish promises are
too often made to deceive and to decoy, not TO
be fulfilled. In this respect, the Creoes Of
Cuba are genuine descendants Of their fathers.
# they cannot lay claim to the more manly
traits in the character of their progentors.
Lopez was no doubt, deceived by them. From
long residence amongst, and perss nal inter-
course with them, he was led to believe they de-
sired to get rid of Spanish oppression And 20
they probably did, if it could be done without
peril, and without LOGS to themselves But when
they talked Of putting their lives and fortunes in
jeopardy, they never meant that, or If THY did,
they changed their mind, and broke their faith

they expected TO receive them with open n ms.
show how much reliance was to be placed on
such promises. The mystery is, that L,pex,
who must have known the character of tho
promisers so well, could have been deceived by
them. But what ia most unfortunate, Is that 70
many adventurous youths of the South and
Southwest, who, so FAR from deemino thstn-
selves pirates, thought they were following the
example Of Lafayette and Kosciusko, should
have allowed themselves to be fired with mis-
taken ardor to become the Iiberstors of what
they supposed nm oppressed people, aspiring to
be free, and thus been induced to rush madlv
upon ceriain destruction. Most of them are
