NEw LloHTl-SYLvlC OIL.-We have
now light which exceeds in brilliancy
any light made BY whale or lard oil, or
burning fluid, and one which is not infe-
rior to camphene or gas. Il is more de.
sirable than either Of the latter, because,
while gas flickers, this is steady; aud
while camphene may explode, this cannon.
Tbe lights soft and therefore not painful
to the eyes. 1t is indeed the most agree
able light ever used, next to that Of the
sun.
The chief points that recommend the
Sylvic Oil to the public favor are: First
The beautiful. steady. white light it
emits, being very properly called the
Diamond Light. Second-Its cheap
ness. Third--The impossibiIily Of its
explosion.
We find by repeated experiment, that
the oil in burning and emitting seuen and
nineteenth times the light of tallow
candle, costs at retail price, and burning
four lours each night, only $3.50 per
year while one light from atallow can
die, estimating them at sixteen cents per
pound, for the same length Of time, will
cost $7,s6.
Our hand lamp gives a light equal ia
two candles, and can be supplied with
Sylvic Oil al a cost of only 81 ,46 per
gear.
The cost, a: retail, is only rs cents a
Gallon, and the means Of supply mex
haustible.
The Diamond Light, produced from
improved Sylvic OIL, has no equal. Read
the annexed statement from gentlemen
qualified to judge in the premises:
The undersigned, at the request of theft
fellow. .townsman. Mr.. Tipping, were pres
ent Witnessing and assisting in conducting
various experiments, comparing the light
produced hy the Sylvic Oil with that pro
duced from the several burning material:
given in the annexed table. Messrs
Blythe and Conrad conducting the exper
iments.
We have no hesitation in saying, from
what we consider a fair and full test o
this new light, that for intense brilliancy
agreeable sol'ness when shaded in the
usual way, steady flame, and indeed al
The requisites for bright pleasant light
combined with lis surprising cheapnes'
and entire safety from explosion, th'
Sylvic Oil is greatly superior to any ma
terial now used for illuminating purposes
and we confidently commend i! to public
favor.
By the annexed table it will be seel
that for one dollar expended in Sylvic oil
we can have as much light as for So, III
expended in Lard SO, ,46 in ETHEREAL oil O
Burning Fluid, $l3,26 in Adamantin
candles, $l4,26 in Tallow candles. 1t i
proper to add that the market price il
Winchester has been assumed as the ba
sis of these calculations. 1t will also b
seen that lard comes next to Sylvic oil o.
+ the score Of cheapness, but the dlfferenc
between even these in one years burnin
of single Sylvic oil lamp would b
8 about $50 in favor of the latter. W
, may further add that the Sylvic oil ha
been used 10 this community, and b
some Of our number for over six months
. 10 the entire satisfaction of our consumer
and but for the previous introduction c
q gas, would we believe have been unive
sally used.

INToL FRANCE OF POPERY

It is sometimes now denied that Pa
pists believe in the damnation of all but
themselves. The following from the
creed OF Pope Plus, will settle the cues
tion:-
Hanc verum Catholicam fidem extra
guam memo salvus esse potest." This
true Catholic faith, out of which none
can be saved, which | now freely profess
and truly hold, 1 N. promise, VOW and
swear most constantly to hold and profess
the same whole and entire. with God's
assistance, 10 the end Of my life: and to
procure, as far as lies in my power, that
the same shall be held, taught and preach
ed, by all who are under me, or who are
entrusted 10 my care, by virtue of my
holy Office. So help me God, and these
holy gospels of God.
The above creed, says DR.. Bowling,
in his history of Romanism, is binding at
the present day upon every Romanis',
whether priest or layman. and to try it,
every Romish priest now living has SOL
emnly expressed his adherence. By this
creed, it is expressly declared that out Of
the Romish church none can be saved,
and that of course all who have died oui
of it are now suffering the torments oil
hell! The searphic Leighton, the godly
Baxter, with Howe, Hooker, Charnock,
Fsyel, Owen, Luther, Melonlhon Wes'
ley, Fletcher, and the long list Of wor'
tbies, their compeers Of the olden time, ii
England and on the continent Of Europe

Nevins, and the holy and truly catholic
Minor, the self-sacrifcing missionarie
Cary, Ward, Morrison, Boardman, Hen
ry, Martin, Ann Judson, and Harriet Ne
wall,-alI, all of them, according to the
solemnly prOfessed creed of the Romanlst
are even now suffering in the fires o
He'll Is it possible for anti-Christal
bigolry to go beyond this
Now when we connect with this cruz
divinity of the RomansC Catholic Church
the fact, that it is another fundamenta
article Of its faith that the Priest is God
Magistrate, that the civil government
subordinate to the ecclesiastical; andiths
pains and penalties should be inficed upo
the beretic, we ask, is it wisdom in thC
American people to place members {
that communion in places Of polite
. power and influence Such is the pre-
ent position of James Campbell in tn
. Post Office Department. and we have n
? doubt but that such will be the positio
!, Of others during the incoming admin
! tralion.

4 successful in courting the Catholic vot
l and that church will be rewarded with Il

The New PROCESS FOR DETECTING
MURDERs.-We published lately says the
Jefferson Journal an account Of an ex-
pertinent made by Dr.. Sanford, Of Auburn
New York, ON the eye of man who had
been murdered near that place. 1t was
stated that the experiment had been sue
cessfnl, but no particulars were given.
We find however in an exchange the fol-
lowing paragraph:
Drs. Bellamy and Sandford made this
experiment in the case Of Beadle, the
printer, who was so fonlly murdered in
Auburn a few days since, with the follow
ing astonishing result. They distinctly
saw impressed upon the eye the rude fig
ure of man dressed in light coat,
holding stone suspended IN the air
The examination Of Beadle's body after
death, showed that he had been murdered
by blow from a stone.

The Republicans have had three of the
strongest political elements in the Union

Slavery, the national Administration, with
the Federal Treasury, and the Roman
Catholic Church. Could we have hoped
at the first trial to defeat such a COM

chanan, almost certainly, fifteen States to
start upon; the second secured an army
of purchased Pierce officials, whose only

followed ignorant and bigoled leaders in
the Crusaders. What three elements can
