THE MEcHANIc.-Talk not of the merchant
princes whose ships whiteu the ocean
with their sails, of the learned professions,
of the orator, statesman, philosopher, poet
and painter. They may give fame to city,
OF acountry and make it known to remote
generations. But the source of its substan-
tial wealth, growth and prosperity is not
found in them. But it is the cunning work.
ers in gold and silver, in brass and iron, in
wood and stone-the men of the anvil and
the loom-whu enlarge, and build up, and
beautify, and adorn the great city. 1t is
their busy and skillful hands that mould the
wood and stone, into the most beautiful and
magnificent forms of architecture. From
their hands come the grand piano, in its aris-
tocratc rose wool case, as well as the
plough which turns the sod and the axe that
fes the forest. They have built the steam
boat and the locomotive which have done
moreto ciyilize and enl ghteh the world than
had before been accomplished in hun
dred years.
We were led to these reflections by step
ping into the gun factory Of Mr.. Ebersol o
Third street, while waiting for the opening
OF the mail. Nothing gives US more pleas
ure than the contemplation of the triumph
Of skill and application. And we found
much more to admire in his factory than we
anticipated. He exhibited to US an assortment
Of the implements and accoutrements of
the sportsman, many of them the workman
ship of his own hund, that it is no extrava-
gance to say are in beauty and dnish a cred
it to any factory, and worthy Of being class
ed among the best specimens of the art. The
rife and case, which, if We mistake not, took
the premium at the State Fair, is, in syme-
try and proportion, beauty and finish, alto
gsther better article than any we before
recolect ever to have seen. And the numer-
ou' specimens Of engraving, in, the shape of
county, society, notarial, Masonic, Odd Fell
low and other seals exhibited were invaria-
bly, well done. ae

Let the great part of the news thou

Presidential Rejoicing over the

The Washington correspondent of

9" Had the new Territories been left
to abide their tihe. WITHOUT any attempt
to force or foster upon them a popula.
tion to effect sectional purposes, the i'm
preston here is, they would eventually
have become free territory. As it is,
however, the seal nf slavery is fixed upon
Kansas, and the Nebraska portion of the
Administration is in high glee at the re-
suit. Quite a rejoicing caihc off at the

New Men in Congress.

From present indications we should
say that the next national House Of Rep
rcscntativcs will have more new mem
bers than any other that has yet Assem-.
blcd in the present Capitol. The muta.
tions of politics have 1t different times
thrown many fresh and inexperienced
meu into Congress, but rarely if ever has
the infusion been so great hs will be seen
next winter. We look to see most of
the old stagcrs from the South displaced
thro' the operations of the American
party. Heretofore the people Of the
Soutbeth States butb GENERALLY followed
the practice of compelling the services
of their representatives in Congress so
long as they could exercise an important
influence on the legislation of the coun.
try but state of things has grown out
Of the workings of this new element
which seems likely to sweep hNaS all
prcccdcnts and all prc.essting arrange
ments. We are not sure tlat this re.
suit is to be deprecated. The practice
of which we have spoken as having large.
" obtained in the South, wise aud lar.
seeing as it is, in respect to the superior
influence it gives to that section in the
councils of the nation, does not uecessa
rily work to the greater advantage of
the whole country. Experience in Con
grcss enables member to labor more
effectively for the interests of his consti
tuents bu. hc@ Ran tarries with him
flasher Infusion of popular fcrvor. Of.
teutiines much needed in the halls of
Congress. Men acting together there
for a long time totIc to regard them
selves AS constituting separate order
in the rcalm--as belonging to the
government, with an interest separate
from and Independent of the people.
This feeling prevails extensively in the
executive departments and although We
do not see it So Extensively exhibited in
the legislature, still it often exists there
TO a considerable extent. and when most
powerful has an active Influence adverse
to the public intetcst The assertion of
westrrn iiicmbcr, many years ago, that
his young colleague. who had proposed a
measure of reform. was fresh from the
oven of public opinion" although much
dcrided at the time, seemed to us cntit.
led to respectful consideration. Your
old member has much to say and do for
Buncombs bt: tthilt he ostcnsibly dc.
fcrs to the wishes and conforms to tie
expectations Of his people, Lo is laburing
chiefly to fortify himself in their cstima.
tion. We say, therefore, that we do not
regret to learn that the great bulk of
the old Southern mettbets are likely to
disappear from the House. We are
willing to see their places Fl led by young
men more - fresh from the oven Of pub
lie opinion Some of them may be
rather slack baked, but there will be
enough of experience aud scdatenoss to
serve as couuterpoise to this class ofrep.
