There are two motors of a new and
striking character, now on exhibition
at the Crystal Palace New York city,
that are attracting the attention of
sarans and engineers; and there is still
another that claims to exceed all these
lately patented, which is expected be-
fore the Fair closes. One of these is
new application Of a known chemi-
cal power, and claims to exceed steam
by many degrees in promptitude and
power. The other. the Cloud Engise
processes to be based on new disco.
veries of natural principles, and is en-
dorsed as a "graud scientific feat" by
Professor Mott, Of Union College. Its
practical value, however, consists in
the great saving Of fuel--from thirty
to sixty per Ct, Of coal as its inventor
claims for it-by combination of air
and steam. Ifthis prove to be veri-
table result, it will be of incalculable
value, and the legion of skillful engi-
neers and enterprising capitalists will
not neglect to examine throughly the
respective merits Of the various motors
on exhibition.

The BIO SANDY.-There is to be

are posted to be delivered at that
place, and the editor Of this paper is
of to meet them; neglectiug his hon
est and more profitable business. We
hope to the lord he will be most inglo-
riously defeated. and yet from the bot
tom of our soul, wish the American
party success. A defeat will prove q
victory for him, and impress the truth
of that great and good moral lesson
upon his verdant mind, Honesty is
the best policy," and modern politics in
the republic have no fellowship with
honor, truth or justice.
We might just as we'll give an &C.
count now of the meeting as to do so,
when our reporter comes in. Our
neighbor in Church street will have an
article in his to-morrow's paper, head
ed "speakingon the Big Sandy" and
it will start ont in this fashion. "The
discussion on the Big Sandy the 31st
ulto., was a most complete triumph

tionality was much endangered by
some imaginary Moloch that stood
with open mouth, ready to swallow up
our past, present and future, babies
and adults without ever winking its
sanguinary looking eyes-etc., ect."-|
All we hope is that "Jones" will be
there with his travellers companion"
and other amiable provisions, without
which. any kind Of political meeting |
is positively dry, and unpalitable.

The Discussaon at the Capitol.
On Tuesday night Col. Preston

Congress from this district, addressed
q large audience Of ladies and gentle
men At the Hall of the House of Rep.
resentatives and the Hon. A. 8. HER.
RON, Democratic candidate for Secre-
tary Of State, on Invitation, REPLIED
Col. POM. in his mastery style Of
eloqueuce, presented the questions at
issue between the two great parties Of
the nation, in . clear and forcible
manner; pointed the frdctifyiug evils
Of the times. in glairing colors. and
dwelt upon the necessity of the Amer.
lean organization, to maintain the in
tegrity of the Union, and preserve its
nationality. In support of his posi-
ton, he adduced a mass of statistical
and other information, which he pre-
sented in such manner; so interwo-
ven with bis own brilliant thoughts
and eloquent imagery as to make
what is otherwise dry and uniuterest.
ing, exceedingly attractive. When
near the close of his argument. after a
two hours speech, he ,dwelt for a mo-
ment on the present position and "pos-
terror" antecedents of his opponent,
the Hon. T. Green Davidson-said
that Mr.. Davidson was now displaying
a rcmorse of conscience for the most
praiseworthy acts Of his life-that the
plea Of "verdency" and the inexperi-
ence of youth. was strange one for
gentleman Of grey hairs and forty
winters to make.--Showed conclu-
sitely las we though:) that Mr.. David
son would not be either chagrined or
mortified to find his old Native Amer.
lean friends supporting him, as he bad
offered q bonus for this support, in
some superficial nstive American res.
olutions presented to the last legisla-
ture. We thought Mr.. Davidson com
pletely annihi!ated, net by Mr.. PoND's
eloquence alone, but by his own fist in
bis own confessed acts. Such bo-
som full Of compassion had we for the
poor old man, we felt half inclined to
te for him, and would perhaps, had
not our friend HEBRON made an effort
10 justify his acts, and snatch him
from the altar Of public opinion where
IN he has offered himself as burnt
offering." Mr.. Blake's moralizing &C.
cured to us. as peculiarly applicable
o T. Green:
One Of the saddest things about hu.
nan nature is, that a man may guide
,thers in the path of life. without walk
ng in it himself; that he may be a
blot, and cast away.
Poor. old Shylock we feel a gizzard
ull Of sympathy for him-although he
would have taken the "pound Of flesh"
when he is driven from the stage
