January 20, 1854.
To C. e. Detnsold, President ~ J. line Co., ~ y.
SIR: A series of experiments conducted by me,
with the utmost care, during the past three years.
upon all the various paints and artificial prepara-
tions for the preservation of timber, have led me
to the important discovery that the White Zinc
Paint, manufacturedby the New Jersey Zinc Com
pany, serves as a perfect protection against the
ravages Of the marine worm, and the formation OF
barnacles, whilst no other paint or preparation OF
any kind combines the same protective effect.
am now preparing full report on this impor-
tant subject to the Bureaus Of Yards and Docks at
Washington, and shall send with it complete se-
ries Of specimens ofwood and metal plates, which
were covered with the different paints and pre-
paratons, and then exposed alike for an entire
season, in salt water, opposite this navy yard all
of which illustrates in the most striking manner,
the invaluable qualities and decided superiority OF
your White Zinc Paint over all other kinds
paints especially for marine purposes.
You are at liberty TO give full publicity to the
above stated facts, which are of too much impor-
tance to be kept from the naval and commercial
world. am, respectfully, your obedient servant,
JAMES JARVIS,

INDIANA AND THE SPIRIT OF FREEDOM.

An immense meeting Of citizens without
distinction Of party was held at Lafayette, on
May 2ath. Mark Jones presided. The Hon.
Daniel Mace, tho Representative in Congress
from that district, boing present. was called
upon to address the meeting. He, did so in a
mastery speech, IN abstract Of which is given
in the Lafayette Courier, Of the 3lst He re-
viewed the whole question Of the Nebraska
iniquity, and the repeal Of the Missouri Com.
promise He denounced in strong language,
those who had accused him Of incorporating
his constituents; and showed that while the
people Of his State had never asked for such q
measure, their sentiments in opposition TO 1t
had always been well known. No longer ago
than lsi9, the Democracy of Indiana had in
State Convention adopted the following rcsolu'
tions, viz:
Resolved, That the institution OF slavery
onght not 10 bc introduced into any Territory
whore IL does not now exist

and New Mexico are in fact and In law Tree

their nominations for the Office Of Governor,
urges union in the Congressional districts:
"As the different parties have selected their
candidates for Governor, we suppose there ID
now no hope Of the Anti Nebraska sentiment
Of the State being concentrated on one man.
The nominations are yet to be made in the
Congressional districts and here it is not too
late to secure united action What we propose,
and shonld rejoice to zee, ID that in every Cen.
gressional district convention of Anti Nebras-
ka men shall be held, composed OF voters Of all
parties, opposed to the repeal Of the Missouri
Compromises, which convention shall nominate
candidate for Congress-
The Albany Evening Journal seconds this
motion.
"Such union is practicable, and may be
rendered efficient. Those who have been true,
whether Wings or Democrats, should be sus-
tanned, while no man, not known to the dis
trict as in sympathy with Freedom, and willing
to pledge himself to the Repeal Of the infa-
nous measure just enacted, and Of all others Of
kindred character, should receive the suffrages
Of the People
sSuch union for such a purpose, honestly
formed and faithfully adhered to, would result
in the election to Congress Of majority who
would stay tho tide Of injustice and 0ppres-
sion-efiiciently begin tho work Of Repeal, and
prevent thor encroacbments already inltia-
ted by the Proragandists."
In Indiana late proceedings in the District
represented by Daniel Mace, show that the
People have already begun to execute their
policy. An immense meeting in tho court
house at Lafayette Of men Of all parties, was
addressed by Mr. Price, in speech severely
dcnnnciatory Of the Nebraska Bill and its sup
porters after which the following resolutions
were unanimously adopted
Resolved, That we heartily approve of the
conduct OF thu Hon, Daniel Mace, our Repre-
sentative in Congress, in the discharge Of hia
duty in voting against the Nebraska bill, and
tender him our cordial thanks for his manly
course.
" Resoiusd, That when great moral questions
are ut rsue, we will not suffer our conscences
to bo bound down to party crecds or party
nominations, but we pledge ourselves on all
such occasions to vote for such measures aud
such men only as we believe will illustrate and
enforce our principles, regardless of party or
CARNATIONS or consequences
RssolUed, That we utterly repudiate and
denounee the principles promulgated in the
resolutions upon the Nebraska bill, adopted by
the so-called Democratic State Convention,
held at indianapolis, on the Gath inst, over
which the Hon Jesse D. Bright presided, and
q majority Of which he evidently controlled,
and that we sympathize with the large and
respectable minority, who were overruled and
m'srepresented in that Convention"

Territories, it is the duty of Congress to pre-
vent the introduction OF slavery within It's
limitsn
The history and character Of Senator Brights
recently trumped-up Democratic Convention
was revealed by Mr.. Mace and its conflicts
with the above resolutions and with the Balt-
more Democratic platform were fairly shown
The resolutions adopted at this meeting were
of the proper kind. Party names and party
jealouses are thrown TO the winds, and the
people proclaim that they are bound only by =
regard for Freedom and Human Rights.
Tho preamble and first, second, third, fourth,
fifth, and sixth resolutions review the question
and denounco the act Of repeal, and the Ad
ministration and fathless Legislators who de
signed it or lent themselves to the vile work
The other resolutions are ms follow:
"Resoived, That we heartily approve the con-
duct Of Hon. Daniel Mace, our Representative
in Congress, in the discharge of his duty in
voting against the Nebraska bill, and tender
him our cordial thanka for his manly course.
g Resolped, That when great national qucs
tions arc at ISSUE we will not suffer our con
science to be bound down to party creeds or
party nominations but we pledge ourselves on
all such occasions to vote for such measures
and such men only as we believe will Illustrate
and enforce our principles, regardless Of party
organizations or consequences.
Resolped That we utterly repudiate and
dcnounce the principles promulgated in the
resolutions upon the Nebraska bill, adopted by
the SO called Democratic State Convention at
Indianapolis on the cath instant over whicl,
the Hon. jesse D. Bright presided, and n ma
jority Of which he evidently controlled; and
that We sympathize with the large and respect
able minority, who were overruled and msrep
resented in that Convention.
Resolved, That We recommend immediate
and thorough organization to repeal the Ne
braaka bill and rcinstate tho Missouri Compro-
mise act, and, failing in this we will resist the
admission Of any more slave States into the
Union.
Resolved, That we recommend conventions
to be held, for tho purpose Of nominating State,
Congressional, and county tickets, from such
men AZ are opposed to the repeal Of the Mis-
souri, Compromise, and that ut such conven-
tions every voter opposed to such repeal shall
be a delegate"

We invite attention to the speech OF this
gentleman, which will be found in our columns
to-day. Mr.. Etheridge speaks a. Southern
man, not with Northern views, but a. South
ern man with Southern views too high and
noble to permit him, for any gain to the South,
to commit an act Of injustice that must fix a
stigma upon tho slave States Of this Union Tor

Upon few subjects are Mr.. Etheridge's views
identical with ours; but we can we'll appreci-
ate and admire the manliness and independ.
ence that led him to assume the position he
occupies in relation to the plighted faith Of the
State he represents.

not advise the Mayor to call out the military
to escort tho poor fugitive to the slave vessel,
but earnestly entreated him to do nothing to
implicate the CITY Of Boston in the proceedings
They were DESTROYS that the United States au-
thortios should bear tho whole responsibility
of returning to Slavery freeman Of Massa-

which they think belonged exclusively to the
