We have received the circular address of Dan

gressional district of Maryland, declaring himself
candidate for their suffrages, and setting forth
his opinions with his wonted frankness. MIR. lis
a sound Southern man and expresses our views
exactly when he says sthe South stands by the
compromise, though obnoxious in some of its fea-
lures Should other sections of the Union deter
mine otherwise the South must fall back upon her
reserved rights" This sentence breathes forcibly
and in few words the true States rights spirit
The remaining points in his address are in regard
to the tariff which he thinks should be reduced,
Intervention and the public lands. This last ques-
ton is not without difficulty, are well aware,
and we should be inclined to favor Mr.. j.. views
upon it could we see any constitutional sanction
for them. Mr.. ]. has had large experience in
public life, and we have no doubt the people OF
his district in the approaching Congressional cleo
ton, will shew their appreciation of his past SER
vices. We regard him as States rights South

FARADY ON TABLE MOVING.

Prof Farsdsy, of London, the celebrated
electrician, has been experimenting on table
turning, ssno,, Che says) that i. was necessa-
~ on my own account, for my conclusions,
respecting its nature were soon arrived at,
anda not changed" He proposes publish
ing the details q. length on his experiments,
but in The meantime announces his plan Of
EXPERIMENTING, and its results. Assuming
.ha. the tables were moved by quasi in
voluntary muscular action of the operator,
Fsradsy's frs. point was 10 prevent the
mind having any undue influence over the
effects produced in relation to the nature Of
the substances employed.
A bundle of plates, consisting Of sand pa
per milbosrd, glue, glass, and plastic clay,
tnfoil, cardboard, gu.ta percha, vulcanzed
india rubber, wood and resinous cement,
was therefore made up, and lied together,
and being placed on table under The hand
of turner, did not prevent transmission OF
the power-the table turned as before
Hence no objection could be taken to the
use of these substances in the construction
of the apparatus. The mex, point was to de-
termins the place and source of motion, that
is to any, whether The table moved the hand,
or the hand the table. To ascertain this,
indicators were constructed. One of these
consisted of light lever, having its fulcrum
on the table, It's shor. arm attached to a pin
fixed on cardboard which could slip on
The surface Of The table, and its long arm
projecting as an index Of motion.
Il is evident that if the experiment willed
the table to move towards the left, and il
did so move before the hands, placed at the
time on The cardboard, then tue index would
move to The left also, the fulcrum going
with The table lf The hands Involuntary
moved towards the left without the table,
The index would 60 towards The right; and,
If neither table nor hands moved, the index
itself would remain immovable. The result!
was, ,ha, while the operators saw the index

A disease strongly resembling Cholera is
committing considerable ravages in various
parts of Washington and Frederick counties,
Maryland, having first made its appearance
in the little town of Wiliamspor', where it
already, in six weeks, numbers some fifty
FIVE victims, and at the latest accounts was
prevailing to considerable extent. On
Friday and Saturday the same disease made
its appearance in Em,lsburg, and carried
off six victims, among whom were jacob
Dubhorn, George Menlzer, and Joseph Nor
ris, leaving also many others sick, with
scarcely prospect of recovery. The dis
ease has also spread into the country from
Williamspor., and there had been several
deaths at Letters Mills, and also at Mechan-
