We were shown, yesterday the model of a
new Self Adjusting Railroad Switch, the inyen
ton of r. M. Able, esq, Of Enfield, Connect
cut. The continuance is very simple, not costly
nor easily put out of order,.and it requires only
an occasional examination to ensure its certain
action. 1t is impossible to describe it without
drawings. and therefore we can only say that
it is so constructed that the weight Of the en-
CINE approaching a switch acts upon lever so
as to adjust the rails in advance Of it, thereby
doing away with switch tenders, and rendering
accidents from their carelessness and neglect
impossible. We mention this invention be-
cause we regard it as one Of great Importance,
for we feel sure that its general adoption will
put an end to one of the most prolific sources
of railroad accidents--the failure Of the switch
tenders 20 adjust the rails properly so as to
prevent trains from running off the track.

for many long years. The head of the
Treasury Department must have paid but little
attention To the political history of the country
if he does not know that the advocates of the
american system" under the lead Of Mr..
Clay, always contended for large free-list,
made up of articles nsed by the manufacturers
and that they always struggled manfully to
check importations that competed with the
manufacturers, by the manner of imposing the
duties necessary to defray the expenses of the
government. But whether he was informed
or not ofthe history Of former discussions on the
tariff, reason and reflection inexperienced
reason and reaection-ought to have taught
him that he was DESERVING our present policy,
and have warned him of the inconsistency of
scattering liberal expressions amongst monopo
list and protective recommendations. We think
that the revenue from customs is too great,
and that it ought to be reduced; but we cannot
as good Democrats, sustain the plan of the
Secretary of the Treasury. That plan pro-
poses to annul duties in such manner as to
afford additional protection to the manufacture,
ing interest," and it proposes to levy duties in
such manner as to afford additional protec-
ton to the manufacturing interest. 1t is a
protictice scheme, and we warn the Democracy
of the country against it.

ga STATUE of SURPRISING merit. Its power and
pathos are independent Of time, place, and condi-
ton. The charm and power of the statue con-
sists in the amazing truth with which the two
great elements Of humanity and mortality are de-
lineated. The artist gives us all the pathos and
the tragedy OF death without IFS ghastiness and
horror. We feel ourselves in the presence of that
awful Power before whose icy sceptre all mortal
distinctions are levelled No statue was ever more
marked by simplicity. Nothing has been done
for effect. No vulgar applause is courted and
the decency and dignity OF truth are scrupulously
observed. "-Hilliards Sir Months in Italy.

the secular and clerical aristocracy at home and
1t was an appeal to liberty, to which responded
all the hearts of the Germans from the Vistula
to the Rhine. But no sooner had the object
OF Stein been accomplished and Napoleon re-
duced, than liberal institutions were suddenly
checked in their progress, and the German
people placed under the good viii of Emperor
Alexander. The Congress of -la-Chapelle,
which followed the Congress of Vienna, took
upon itself the right to settle the affairs of free
Germany, and like the lion in the contest be-
tween the small beasts Of prey, he cut the con-
test short by appropriatng the spoils to him
SELF Alexander was assisted in his en-
terprise by a host of diplomates, Count
Voronzov Count Pozzo di Borgo, Baron
Alopeus, Baron Tschersnitschef and Baron
Jomini. A lady of certain talent, Madame
Krudinner, did not even hesitate to proffer
her services to the Emperor Of Russia, whom
she used to call, in her aattering language,
the White Angel and Universal Saviour. Now,
is there any one able to guess at what idea
Russia required on that occasion in order to
better WELD the German people2 Precisely
to the same idea she has already been using
with Turkey-the religious idea. The first at
tempt of the Gear and his diplomatists was to
Christianize Germany in the name Of Holy
Russia, and then to counteract the liberal spirit
by public prints, to put down the liberal spirit
of literature, and to annihilate the philosophi-
cal schools of Leasing and Kant. Kotzebue,
an unprincipled German author, who was
writing, against Napoleon the Great pamphlets
ordered and paid by Baron de Stein, was hired
by Russia to run into the gutter all liberal pub
licsts, and towrte against the principles he once
had supported. Hisapostacy received a better
reward than it deserved, for it caused him to
be assassinated by fanatic of the name of
Charles Sand. March %, 1879
In our article of tomorrow we will conclude
what we have to say, in order to complete what
we believe to be the reasons which have deter
mined Austria to enter the western alliance.
