NEW AGRIcULTURAL MACHINE.

The Albany Argus describes an invention
which is designed to supcrcede the plough,
the harrow, the roller and the man who SONS
the seed. 1t says:
Yesterday we were shown the model Of a
new, and what purports to be valuable m-
provement in one of the laborious depart
meuts of the agriculturist, and for which the
inventor obtained patent in April 1852
1t embodies in one implement the capa, ity
for ploughinS with four ploughs, scattering
the seed in the burrows, narrowing and 70 /
ing. The harrows are arranged at suitable
distances in front of the cart, and the num-
Der can be diminished at pleasure, or four
used. Immediately following, and attached
TO the ploughs, are the buckets for the recep-
ton Of the seed-and from which il is dis
tributei. The harrows follow behind the
wheels of the cart, and the rollers bring up
the rear On the platform of the cart, and
forming a part of it is a basin Of che same
width, which is the receptacle of the seed
Its position is Immediately over the buckets,
and as the cart goes forward, it is SO arrang-
ed as to allow the seeds to fall III suitable
quantities, into the buckets below. The
PLATFORM Is large enough Tor the driver ana
will also accommodate several bags Of grain.
The harrows ere also the width of the cart,
in two pieces, rs are also the rollers, for more
easy passage over the ground. The entire
arrangement can DO moved with ease, and the
cart is used in other capacities about the
farm. The inventor is Mr.. II. Bcebec, "A
young mechanic of this city. While it ap-
pparS To be u Naluabla imprGYplucnt and has
received the appreciation Of many distinguish
ed agriculturists, It's utility remains to be tos-
ted. There is scarcely doubt. however, that
on prairie land it will prove a valuable acqui-
sition to the implements Of the farm.

The Legislature could not pass an act to be
come law upon some future contingency
The amendment was adopted.
Mr.. Davis wanted to vote directly on the
merits of the bill. A majority of his constit
uents had petitioned for it, and were he evel
so much opposed, he would not refuse tc
submit the measures to the decision of tho
people.
Mr.. Chase moved to strike out all afte
the enactlng clause. Lost; ayes 81; noei

Mr.. Sanders proposed to refer it to select
committee. He was in favor of re-enact
ing the law in the Revised Statutes, and
considered it the best law ever passed on
this subject, and one which satisfied the PEG.
pie.
Mr.. Simpson opposed the bill, and said q
majority OF his constituents were opposed to
it. He favored the present license law, and
spoke of the great benefits which the
counties derived from it, in the way OF
revenue. If the law was a practicable one
and would do away with the evils of intern
perance he would gladly sustain it, but did
not think it would. Public opinion would
not sustain it at present and he should vote
against it.
Mr.. Mckisson moved to lay the bill on
the table. Lost.
MIR. La Due moved to refer to select
committee of ) with instructions. and report

people whether they would have such law
or not.

The Free Democracy OF Rhode Island.

a correspondent of the New York Tri-
bune in the city of Providence, r. l. writes
as follows:
The Free Soil party of this State are &C
lively in the field, and large additions are
making in influence and numbers. The
prospects of the party in this state were new
er so encouraging as at present. OF course
they have no hope Of clecting the State tick
ct; but it is not at all improbable i'll the
present state Of affairs, that the Free Sellers
may hold the balance Of power in the next
Legislature and thus control the election Of
Senator. Should such an event occur the
representation would be prevented, as the
Liberty men declare their determination not
to form any coalition. Politics have got a
queer twist i'll this State, and it will take a
long time to get them into a recognizable
shape again.

CALHOUN.

Mr.. Calhoun was a man of remarkable
formation, physical as psychological, and exer
cised an influence on the southern portion of
the Union, which will long Outlive even the
Youngest deciple of his school. Tall, thin,
with sunken cheeks and rigid lips, his long,
grizzlcd hair thrown in confusion over his
square forehead over the back of his head,
he attracted attention at once by the
nervous energy with which he noted every
proceeding of the Senate, and by the brlllan-
CIV of an eye which seemed to have drank up
the vitality from the rest of his attenuated
frame. When he rose to speak, the Senate
was silent. The little noise Of business which
sometimes rustles the quiet even of that stald
body WIS flushed, and Senators sat waiting
the words of that Southern oracle, Never
was a Delphic priest more orcuIar. His
Jagged sentences were short, concise, almost
mysterious in their solidity. As he warmed
with his subject, his thin, sombre-clad frame
rose to its utmost hight; and with an eye
fired to intensest heat, but fixed ever on one
spot on the floor of the chamber and with
one hand nervously jerking in unison with
his speech, from an elbow pinned in his body
the champion of the divine right Of slavery,
piled syllogism upon syllogism with rapid
itv that set at defiance the capacities of even
the most practised listener, and sat down at
the close leaving the audience bewildered by
the subtelty of his metaphysics, and over
whelmcd by the concise force of his logic
In his social intercourse this remarkable man
was one of the most facinating persons we
ever met. Easy, fluent in conversation, won
derfully enchanting on any subject he touch
ed, considerate toward others, kind and atten-
tive towards young men, he exercised per
sonal influence such as We are told, no 9th
er man enjoyed in America, except his great
rival, Mr.. Ciay,--an influence the more per-
nicicus, as his doctrines in regard to slavery
were opposed to all just ideas Of human lib
ertv. and as his views npon the American
Union, if carried out, would involve that hap
ry land in the horrors Of civil war; English
Mag
