TYPE DISTRIBUTING MACHINE.

The New York papers appear to be
convinced Of the practicability ofthis
machine, in large printing establish-
ments. Each machine will distribute
but one size oftype but the inventor
says that they may be 50 constructed
as to be easily adapted TO the different
sizes Of small type. II worked by hand
one man or boy can distribute IL 600
ems per hour. and with scarcely the
possibility Of an error Of q single type.
Whereas BY the usual mode Of hand dis
tribntion, 8, 900 are about the average.
The machine can Be worked BY steam,
and one man can then attend TO three Of
them, making the total distribution in

THE NEXT CONGRESS-.

The New York Herald Of the 18th, has an
article in reference to the next Congress, from
which we take the following extract:
In the State elections since last spring, the
American party have carried, by majority,
the States of California, Kentucky and Ma.
ryland; and by pluralities New York and
Massachusetts. On the other hand, the de-
mocracy have carried, by maorites, the States
OF Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia, Ala
bama, Tennessee, Mississippi, New Jersey
and probably Louisiana; and by n plurality,
Pennsylvania and Maine, while the black re-
pubiirans have carried Vermont and Ohio, by
a majority in the first, and plurality in the
last named State. The American party, then,
are in this position: while they cannot afford
to risk the loss of the North they are bound
to take such n national attitude rs will en-
courage their brethren in the South, where,
by some slight additions TO their actual
strength, they may carry half dozen Shtes
which they have lost.
What, then, is the true policy of the men,
bers of the American party in Congress! 1t
is to hold conservative position for the or
ganlzation of the House, without regard to
the special question Of the admission Of
Whitfield or Reeder Upon this precise Ter
ritora issue months may be wasted in vain
endeavor TO elect II Speaker, and in the mean
time the uliras of the two sections may de.
stroy all the elements of n peaceful compro-
mise, in the embittercd sectional feelings
which they will have excited. Let the Amer
lean members, then, DESTROYS of controlling
the great battle of SO, unite North and South,
upon some conservative compromise policy
in the very outset, leaving the issue between
Reeder and Whitfield to be settled after the
organization, and they will avoid the rock up
on which Southern and Northern ultras intend
to split them into pieces.
One point is very clear, the balance ofpow-
er in the House is in the hands of the Amer.
can party. They may, if they choose, cast it
in favor Of the democrats, or on the side Of
the Seward and Wilson abolition league; but
there is medium course, whereby they may
command the support of the more c0nserva-
tive members of the two other parties with
out committing themselves to either extreme.
General Wilson has plegcd w. II. Seward
and his allies to break the American party
into ten thousand fragments npon the rock Of
slavery. Let the American members Of the
House beware of entangling abolition or ad
mnistratiye alliances at Washington upon
the question of Speaker and Clerk, and they
may lay the groundwork ola national organ
ization for SO. There are two divisions of
the American party in Congsess-n Northern
and n Southern wing. Let both wings, in the
first place, unite on some safe middle ground
in the matter Of the organization of the
House, and the first great task in the recon-
struction Of the American party upon II cause
and platform, and common ticket rs broad
MS the constitution and the Union, will have
been accomplished.
