Ns~ Inrention.-A model of a new description of
apparatus. foT the transmission of letters packages
and freights in general, is now on exhibition in one
OF the committee rooms of the Senate, having been
placed there by the Fatentce, Mr.. J. s. Richardson,
OF Boston, at the special request of several Senator's
who wished to draw the attention of members of that
body to its public importance. The apparatus is
called the Atmospheric Telegraph" and consists
OF cylinder or tube of any desirable dimensions,
according to the size Of the packages that ii is in
tended to convey. Inside of this is placed punger,
at the end Of which the articles for transmission
fastened by any suitable means. A partial or CON-
peie vacuum having been made in the cylinder or
tube, by means of an air pump, worked by steam,
the plunger is in consequence driven by the pressure
Of the air behind through the cylinder, having no re-
sisance to impede its progress and draws behind it
the packages for transportation, with an incredible
velocity. The impetus with which the punger is
carried forward OF an uncomfortable rapidly, greater
than that of bullet from gun, or of a bali from
cannon This velocity may be easily accounted for,
Tor the circumstance Of the punger travelling through
vacuum in the cylinder tube, so that there is no
resistance of the air to impede Its progress, and in
consequence, the pressure of the air the other end
acts with its full force of fourteen pounds the
square inch Another advantage is, the capabiiy of
forming either general partial vacuum, so that
the rate oftravelns can be moderated at will. The
only difficulty in the practical working ef the nven-
ton is in the plunger little friction as
possible, and yet to render the space between it and
the cylinder completely alright. This is effected
by very simple and ingenious continuance, so that
there Is nothing to gansay on this point The cylin-
der of the model il in metal but it Is intended that
the working one, two feet in diameter, should con-
sst of wood, bound round with hoops, and covered
with pitch and concrete to prevent its rottng be-
coming otherwise injured. We understand that n
company is in course of formation, TO work the
PATENT and that it is intended TO lay down cy Under

garded and treated in the same manner as other
offences"
1t gives, as our readers will see, all the IL
cencc that any Presbyterian can ask for slave
holding and church. fellowship.
We ought to state that tie Assembly also
resolved that church members must not travel
on Sunday except to and from church, or on
some errSnd of necessity. In the Tribune
which has just como to hand, we find the fol-
lowing comment upon this action Of the AS
sembly:
"Here is no general foray on all Slavehold-
ers as transgressors nor on Slaveholding as ne
cessarily sinful The inquiries proposed looked,
not to the extinction of Slaveholding in the
Church, but rather to the correction OF alleged
abuses and the conformation Of its details to
the acknowledged and undeniable principles Of
Christian morality and Christian duty. The
Report is apologize and soothing with regard
to Christian Sloveholding. which is not like
Christian Sabbath breaking and Christian Dam
cling, denounced without qualification or cir.
cumlocution as and evil, but rather indicated as
tending to evil and profcring temptation to
abuse. Surely. Church which provides against
the very anomalous case Of a mans marrying
his niece has right to inquire whether its
members sell each other into the mcrciless
clutches of Lewdness, and break their marriage
unions as il they were the causual association
of cattle. And as this inquiry into Southern
Presbyterian worship must necessarily be en-
trusted to those most interested in whitening
the outside Of the sepucher, there could be no
rational doubt that the Report would be as APP
pologctic and vanishing as truth could possibly
allow.
ave cannot believe, then, that the Southern
Presbyterians will be 50 maadroit as to plead
guilty TO this tender arraignment by seeding
from the Assembly. They can do great deal
hetterby ucceding to the proposed inquiries and
so conducting them that they will amount to no.
thing, or prove that the worst abuses of Slavery
receive no countenance from and reflect no dis
credit upon the New School Prcsbytcrians Of the
South. And this, we presume, will be the
course, on reflection, adopted

DEAR MARIUs We closed the New England
Convention at ten o'clock last evening. 1t was
gathering that fully sustained the we'll earned
reputation of former years. A most violent
rain and an admittancc Fee, might have been
supposed to operate to make our last meeting
small in numbers. But far enough from this
was the fact. The spacious house was filed,
and not whisper was heard in opposition to
the most radical of our doctrines.
But my main object in writing at this mo-
ment is, TO announce to you. that in consulting
upon future operations, the West was not for
gotten. And think you will rejoice to learn
that one of our wealthy men pledged sum NOT
less than one thousand dollars, and another five.
hundred, should the plans and measures sue
ceed well, to be devoted wholly to the Western
field. The interest l take in your labors and
successes is such, as that you may be assured
my heart leaped for JOY, when was author
lied to make the announcement TO the meeting
The proposition was received by tho crowded
audience with demonstrations of Joy. And
from conversation with several members of the

JUSTICE NOT ISPovEnIsHrSo.-The Tribune
reports conversation between the Editor and
c. NJ. Clay, in which the latter says that when
he emancipted his slaves, he did it with the ex-
pectation OF great pecuniary loss Ia result there
from. But in this he has been happily disap-
pointed. He finds that the emancipation Of
his slaves has worked unexpectedly to his pc
cuniary advantage, by improving the products
OF his farm under free labor and rendering it Q
profit, and not as hitherto loss to him.

The CONSTITUTION AND THE BALLOT box
We have just laid down Horace Mann's article
in the Liberator, on the "Constitution and the
Ballot box." We have read t carefully 1t is
too long for us to print. 1t is based on the
supposition that there is slavery and wrong in
the Constitution. 1t is simply this, ampliicd
through five columns, viz; The object and
purpose Of the act determines its quality" No
one may be Congressman, juege or marshal for
the sake Of supporting slavery, or returning a
fugitive; but he may be either, for the sake of
abolshing slavery and delivering the fugitive
This is the only argument that can be used.-
Not popular one in theory, especially when
distinctly and definitely presented, but one of
very general practice. Mr.. Mann's whole ar
gument depends upon the answers given the
questions, which have long puzzled the world,
and will probably long continue to divide il,
whether is thing right because it is good in
its results. or is it good because it is righti
Mr.. Mann promises in another article, his
views on the Constitution.

Important Announcement.

The announcement of Mr.. Pillsbury will
make thousands of freedom. loving hearts in the
West, "lcap for JOY" in response to his own.
Reports from every quarter make it sure that,
never in the West, at least, were there as many
listening ears, or as many hearts waiting for
the truth, as now. To meet this exigency, the
Ex. Committee of the Western Anti. slavery
Society con'emp plate vigorous efforts during the
Fall. And their encouragement is great, in
consequence Of the interest taken by our CO.
laborors in this work. The noble hearted
friend who has so libcraly pledged the thousand
dollars for this work, must make up his mind
to take part Of his reward in the payment Of
that " other fee hundred" for any sort of fcasi-
bic "plan," or anything like reasonable "mea-
surcs'' for creating anti slavery sentiment in
Ohio, Indiana. Illinois and Michigan. cannot
fail to succeed. This proposition, in connection
with the noble contribution VIC announced last
week, cannot fail to stimulate every abolitionist
among as, to new labors and new libcralty in
the work. Come on Friends, let us make short
work of this matter. What a shame that a,
this age scores of years should accomplish so lit
tie against so manifest a wrong. With us it is
left to say whether it shall SO continue. The
two friends to whom we have alluded, are evil
IDENTIFY fastening the coEsumation. This is moi
less the way of economy of money and of la
Dor, than of humanity. OF course we, for We
ry shame, if not for love, will work end pray
with new zeal, and let us hope, with new wis
dom and success.

but too late Cor insertion in our last.
