an improvement on the cow-catcher. frame

The trucks are of the ordinary construction and
are combined with this frame. The said frame
rests on four small wheels independent of the
ordinary running wheels. Tae: small wheels
are placed angularly nd have broad groogcd
faces. These bite upon the inner edge Of tho
rails, therefore, although the running wheels
were lifted up by an obstruction on the rails, the
ears would be prevented from running off, as tho
small grooved wheels would still retain their
hold upon the rails.
The cow.catcher is so formed that it vibrates
on an axis behind the front axle of the locono-
tive, and it has two india rubber bands on its
front, which front rises or is lifted up when it
meets with an obstruction, TINS lifting title

the existence of animal remains, belonging to

the axis of the globe to have changed 80 de-
gress, at some remote period. That the old
equatorial line extended in the northern hemi-
spere, from the Bay of Begal, rear where the
mouth of the Ganges is, through Thibet, Tar

thence along in North America through the

Rlrcl. and white.

Mr. James M'Cune Smith figures in this
weeks Ant,- Slarery StGaddrd with his es-
say on African Colonization which he
wished us to publish, bat which, owing to
the infrmitv and inlamed condition Of his
temper, we saw fit to decline. The article
gives abundant evidence of the proprlety of
our decision. 1t is preluded by the asser-
ton that for eighteen months The Tribune
has poured an ncesSant and rufan roltme
of abuse on the Colored Americans" be-
cause they do not migrate to Africa
statement which we leave without comment.
Mr. Smith proceeds to cavil at the deslg-
nation African Race as applied to his
people. We used i because we found
none other 50 expressive aad lnoiienslye.
Negro is deemed (however improperly a
term of disparagement; and, beside, those
of mixed blood are not properly negroes.
'Colored American Is indistinctye-all
men have more OF less color, and our
Abori1ines a good deal. We use the term
African Race to designate those descend
ed wholly or partly from negroes, who are
specially the African Race though other
Race, are found lnhablting some portions of
Africa, especially near It's coasts. Surely,

Mr. Smith proceeds to state our posi-
ton with reference to Colonization, and
again eyinces his lncapacity to discuss the
subject. tie makes US hold that the Black
Race IS in this country 4 degraded one, tnfe-
rior in capacity and attalnments to the
Whites. and therefore ought to 90 to Africa,
where its members can have chance to ele-
vate themselves. Now whether these propo-
sitions are essentially true or not they do not
fairly exhibit our view Of the matter.
What we understand the Indiana ote
with similar expressions 10 demonstrate IS
rerugnqnce. not superiority. on the part Of
the Whites We believe the Caucasian Race
naturally dislikes and recoils from intimacy
and association with the African, and that
this IS the real basis of Negro Exclusion
votes. Ii the Blacks Of this county were
morally, intellectually and politically the
EQUALS OF the Whites, We think this repug-
nance would still be mannested-that inter-
marriages between them would be rare, and
generally lmpeIed by depraved appetite
rather than nroblng affection. This Is
our belief, and We act upon It. Mr. Smith
believes differently. and boasts in his article
