EDuoR' OF THE OBsERvEa:-I was
: bred from my youth blacksmith and
farmer; and whether a natural me-
chanic or not, was always anxious to
know the why's and wherefores Of
things, or more properly speaking,
the causalities and preventives. l
WIS Also fo.id Of trying experiments
upon such things as seemed favorable
Of improvements. ] was generally
in the shop with my father evenings,
rliny days, and such other days as /
could be spared from the farm and
school. BY being in the shop so much,
/ obtained the views of the farmers
generally, and by this was enabled to
make many improvements on the
firm. ] learned, also, that many
turner's entertain very erroneous views
about blacksmithing, (and ] might add
blacksmiths too:) still they were bound
to dictate according to their preludi-
ces; as, for instance, one says:
eThis horse overreaches; / want
you to put the forward shoes as fal
forward as possible, and set the hind
shoes as far back, or he will teal
them off," would sometimes try tt
reason the case by saying the way tt
prevent horse from overreachlng, |:
to augment the speed of the forward
feet, and retard the motion of the hln(
ones, but in order to accomplish that
Ishall have to reverse your directions
Some who had little or no mechanica
genius. would cut short all argument
and say: "follow my directions or els'
not shoe the horse" OF course
mechanic must obey orders if h
breaks owners; so the horse would g
out of the shop nicely fettered, witt
his shoes clicking at every step; while
perhaps, the man of inquiry desires
full explanation. My way is to maxi
the corks very low, and standing
little under, and the shoes set as ia
back as convenient, on the forwar'
feet, with high heel corks, SO as tole
them roll over as soon as possible
On the hind feet, have the heel corl
low, and the toe cork high and pro
iecting forward, thus keeping bacl
the hind foot, while coming up over
high toe cork, giving time for the fol
ward foot to get out of the way.
thus shod, the horse will travel clear
without click, and his speed will b
increased on trot, fifteen or twent
seconds in a mile. If acceptable,
may say something about shoein
foundered horses hereafter. Dun.

Mayor full and thorough Investigation into all
the facts and earnestly entreated him to aid US in
procuring It. @& ~
1t may be proper at some future time 70 publish
that correspondence, with view TO show that we
were ready and anxious that the credit Of the city
should not suffer from any misrepresentation OF
the occurrences Of the night of the American
meeting, and that the honor and dignity of the
Mayor himself should suffer no diminution by rea-
son Of any possible misunderstanding of his con-
duct. t.
With view TO saddle the right horse with
whatever censure might be due TO private citizens
and public functionsries for their conduct on the
occasion referred to, joint resolution present
ed to the Common Council some two weeks ago,
and passed that body, providing for joint com
mittee of the two Boards TO investigate the con-
duct of the evil doors at the time mentioned
On Monday evening that resolution came up for
consideration before the Board Of Aldermen, when
it was opposed by the friends OF Mayor Magruder,
and, on the motion of one Of the Aldermen of his
party, it was laid the table, suery friend Of the
Mayor voting in favor of that motion!
Now, we may be allowed to suppose, that il the
Irlenu5 OF the mayor nau not cdrcu tuoe al INV
tigation would exonerate the American party from
all censure, and would fasten some reprOach upon
the Mayor, or upon his party, they would not have
opposed the investigation.
We think this quite a natural and reasonable
superstition, and it being undenable, and shown by
the record that every anti-American voted to lay
the whole subject on the table, therefore assert
that Mayor Magruder and his friends have shrunk
from the investigation which the American party
courted.
We give the Mayor and his friends the benefit
Of the fact, that three of the Aldermen classed
Americana, voted in the Affirmative on the motion
which put an end to the proceedings, nor do we
undertake to assign the reasons by which they
were governed in such vote. They had reasons
doubtless, which were satisfactory to themselves
We may venture to pass an opinion, however,
that they we're not governed by the fear that sush
investigation would bring any sort of censure upon
the members Of the American party, who we're
present at the meeting.
In conclusion we have to repeat, that the Anne
rican party was not in fault the occasion of that
meeting, and that If the Mayor or his friends can
suggest mode likely to ferret out the truth, We
viii do what we can to aid him or them in bring
ing the guilty parties to punishment.

they are now pursuing leads
As old parties are broken up, new ones are form
ing; at present there three or four, but these
must all be consolidated into two: one OF these,
and the dominant one, must be the american
party, and the other the Republican party and as
all the foreign Catholics in the country are opposed
to Amerieanisns, they will naturally fall into the
Republican ranks, and will constitute the major
portion of that party; the other portion viii be
made up Of Abolitionists, Freesoil Democrats and
Wings, renegade Wings, and disappointed and dis
satisfied Americans. Such We believe will be the
general component parts of the Republican party,
while the american viii embrace all the old con-
seryative Wings and Democrats. And now, we

intend to attach yourself tor Moo is the time to

Can't Stand Squatter Sovereignty

The Athens Geo. Waterman narrates the fol-

hearted Southern Democrat man who prefers
bis country to party, who cannot stand Buchanans
squatter sovereignty principles Here 1t s, read it
6 SIGNIFICAsP.--An enthusiastic, whole.souled
Democrat, who, like all sound, sensible Southern
men, regards squatter sovereignty as the most
dangerous and insdious attack which Aboltionsm
has ever made upon the rights of the South; and
who, by the way, assured recently that he would
support no man for the Presidency who avowed it,
when he came to read that unequivocal declaration
In Buchanan's letter Of acceptance, the people of
Territory, like those of State, &C., dashed the
paper as far from him as he could, and would not
fnish the letter until the next day"
That man has o large heart--a heart in the right
place--he loves his country, bis whole country,
her constitution and laws, above all he loves the
South and her institutons-the home of his fam-
ly and friends; and like true patriot, he stands
high above the dictatiop of party. He has the in
telligencs TO perceive and the independence to de-
nouhce the subtle and insidious doctrine of squat
ter sovereignty, and the patriotism to repudiate
James Buchanan, who openly advocates ii. Let
Southern Democrats everywhere, whose patriotism
and love of country, 1.-THE South and her ipstitu-
tions) rise superior to their love Of party, follow
