I'm G nts.

In July last the "Monument Conven-
tion," as the distinguished body to whom is
confided the duty of devising ways and
means to erect monument on the spot
where our National Independence was de-
clared, met IN Philadelphia, with Gov Big
Ter as President and adopted resolutions to
appoint committee of one from each of
the States, which committee is again to
prepare an address to the Legislature of
each of the original thirteen States, urging
the passage of such an act as will tend to
the accomplishment of the purpose of the
Convention "
We copy the above from the True Delta
of Wednesday last, in which paper, there is
very interesting article from the editor,
on the subject of the National Monument to
be erected in Philadelphia.
We cannot see why the legitimate sisters
of the original thirteen States, should be
thus cut off from participation, in a work
which is designed to carry down to posteri-
ty the record OF an event in the worlds
history, that has benefited all mankind
alike, if not in direct. in an indirect man.
ner.
When we reflect that it is under the bles-
sings of a free government; born at that
time, that we live, we naturally feel a jea-
lous pride that we hope to find echoed from
every quarter of the Union Another con-
sideration that adds to our interest in this
matter, is the fact that our esteemed fell
low-citizen JAMES M. ELAN, Esq, was the
first to suggest the erection of monument
on the sacred spot that gave birth to the
American Union. His article in the Delta
of ~ July, 1850, we republished a short
time ago in the Comet. The recent Con-
vention at Philadelphia have, it would
seem, acted upon that suggestion. We
think the action illadvised, so far as it cuts
off the younger States of the Republic. It
should be more liberal-more extended
let the whole continent from the Atlantic
TO the Pacific, participate, in the expense Of
the work, that it may be in truth the ma
tiom's Monument to the memory of the
brave hearts, and firm hands, that had the
Unprecedented moral courage to declare in
the face Of the whole world, that "all man.
kind are created free, and equal"

NATURAL GAs.-The Fredonia
IN, Y)Censor says that the village
has for long time been lighted with
natural gas, which issues at cirtain
places spontaneously from assures in
the UNDERTAKING strata Of rock. The
supply, however, has hitherto proved
insufficient for the demand. On Thurs
day afternoon last while a workman
was engaged in drilling for further
supply Of water in the we'll at the
johnson house, assure was reached
from which. on the withdrawal. of the
drill, a large and constant current Of
gas issued with much force through
the writer. Upon placing tunnel over
the jet. and applying candle, the gas
ignited, throwing column Of fame to
the top of the well, near twenty feet,
and burning the man severely. Up
to the present time, the gas continues
to issue unfailingly; and it is the in
tention of the proprietors to apply it to
immediate use in lighting their build

Communicated

Mr.. EDITOR A writer in the .Advocate
Of yesterday morning over the signature Of
"A Member" who is no donbt one Of the
"unterrifed," in his over anxiety to find
some cause of quarrel with the new Consti-
tuition. has come out with an insinuation, if
not charge, that Art. 10 bas been altered
or changed, since its adoption by the Con-
vention. The evident idea of"A Member"
is, that the article as published in the Cres-
cent, and as it was really adopted by the
Convention ga Members decided opinion
to the contrary Notwithstanding does not
guard against abuses as efectually as if it
! had been passed as "a Member. thinks it
was. Now MIR. Editor, the facts are about
as follows. There was proposition before
the Convention, nude Isuppose by Den,o-
Graf, that the faith If the State &C., should
not be pledged &c., unless by vote of
three-fifths of the members present, but the
Wings no doubt, fearing that evil might
result from allowing SO small number of
members as three-ffths of quorum, to
pledge the faith of the State for works Of
Internal Improvements, succeeded in carry
ing substitute requiring majority Of all
the members elected to both houses to pass
such law. Three-flths Of quorum Of
the two houses (of 1870 members) would be
forty, but majority of all the members
elected to both houses would be sixty-six
So you see Mr.. Editor under the Constitu-
ton as the ''unterrifed Member" thought,
and hoped it scas, the faith of the State could
have been pledged by vote Of forty men,
bers. After assuring "A Member" that the
Constitution is none the worse, for his hav-
ing very little to do with its provisions,
leave him to his reflections.

pERFUMERY, TRIUMPHs OF MODERN CHEM
ISTRY.


An abstract OF DIR. Playfair's Lecture on
the Chemical Principles involved in the
Manufactures Of the Great Exhibition OF
1851, is given in Slliman's Journal for Ju-
lily, from which we take the following inter-
esting extract, which will doubtless be
new TO many who admire and use the cele-
brated preparations Of Lubin:
"Much aid has been given by chemistry
10 the art Of perfumery. i is true that
soo and perfumery are rather rivals, the
increase Of the fomer diminishing the use OF
The latter. Costly perfumes, formerly
employed as mask Of want Of cleanliness,
are less required now, that soap has be-
come type of civilization. Perfumers, if
they do not occupy whole streets with their
shops, as they did in ancient Cspus, show
more science in obtaining their perfumes
than those of former times. The Jury in
the Exhibition, or rather two distinguished
chemists Of the Jury, DR.. Hoffman and
Mr. De la Rue, ascertained that some OF
The mos, delicate perfumes were made by
chemical arliGce, and not, as Of old, by dis.
tIling them from flowers. The perfume OF
flowers often consists of oil and ethers,
which the chemist can compound artificial
~ in bis labratory. Commercial enter
prise has availed itself Of this fact, and
sent TO the exhibition, in the form OF essen
ces perfumes thus prepared. Singular
enough, they are generally derived from
substances Of disgusting odor. 4 pecuii.
ar fHted enc, termed .'iusil oil, is formed
in making brandy and whiskey. This
fusil oil, distilled with sulphuric acid and
acetate Of potash gives the oil of pears.
The oil of apples is made from the same
iusil oil by dlstilation will, sulphurc acid
aud bicromate Of potash. The oil ofpine-
4pples is obtained from the action Of pu-
trid cheese on sugar or by making soap
with butter, and distilling it with alcohol
and guphuric acid, and is now largely en-
ployed in England in the preparation OF
pineapple ale. Oil Of grapes and oil OF
cogniac, used TO ippart the flavor OF French
cogniac to British brandy, are little less
than fusil OIL The artificial Gil OF bitter
almonds, now so largely employed in per-
Tuning soaps and for flaSoring confectiona.

forehead is damped with eaa de millefenrs,
without knowing that its essential ingredI-
ent ia derived from the drainage Of COW
houses. The wintergreen oil, imported
from New Jersey being produced from
plant Indigenous there, is artificlaily
made from willows, and body procured
IN the distilation Of wood. All these are
direct modern appliances Of science to an
industrial purpose, and imply an acquaint-
ance with the highest Investigations OF or
ganic chemistry. Let Us recollect that
the oil of lemons, ,urpen,ne, oil Of juniper,
III Of roses, oil of copaiba, and oil Of ross
mary and many other oils are incidental 10
composition, and il is not difficult to con-
ceive that perfumery may derive further
aid from chemistry.

THE SABBATH BELL.

But he can hear Sabbath bell.
Go TO the woods, when winters song
Howls like fa,nished vol along,
Or when the south winds scarcely turn

Although no closter-chimes ring there,
The heart is called to Ia th and prayer;
Fer all Creation's voices tell

Go TO the bilIows, let them pour
In gentle calm or headlong roar;
Let The vast ocean be thy home,
