-FOUR QUBsTIONsi

These two paragraphs appeared in the Wash

wonderful amiability on the subject Of the
Presidency. We feel curious to know the pc
culiar play Of countenance that must have
marked our neigbbor as he indted those
linesl-"A GRATIFYING ABSENCE of all personal
acrimony and elimination amongst the aspi.
rants and their friends ~
Why, then, don't you publish the resolutions
commendatory of the other candidates.
Why, then, do you publish ONLY the resolu-
tons in favor of Franklin Pierce2
Why do you sfudionsly, if you are in favor
Of this vaunted "spirit Of forbearance and lib
erality," that should characterize the canvass,
mutilate the proceedings Of Democratic meet
ings by Iearing ont everything complimentary
TO the other candidates.
Why have you pursued this course towards
Mr.. BUCHANAN with so much !" acrimony," as
not even yet to publish the resolution In favor
of him, passed by the Democratic meeting In

JUDGE DOUGLASS SPEECH.

Yesterday, the galleries and lobbies Of the
Senate we're filed to overfowing to hear the
speech Of this young but eminent statesman.
We could scarcely help envying him the com
piment that was paid him by the presence Of
such concourse Of his countrymen, whom
he held bound in silent attention for more than
two hours. The speech was uuanswerable, and
will 90 to the country as one Of the ablest that
has ever been delivered in the Senate. This is
high praise, but it is sincere and we believe just
praise.

/. The area of two-foot plunger, is four
hundred fiity-two inches.
2. The pressure of one-fourth pound on each
inch is one hundred and thirteen pounds, and
ll3 pounds tractive force draws seven toms.
3. two-foot cylinder, forty miles long, con
tains about 900 cubic feet of air.
A. One pump cylinder, twenty feet in diameter,
and twenty feet long, contains six thousand
cubic feet. Two of these pumps double

at every turn of the shaft therefore, 27 turns
of the same will exhaust the number of cubic
feet contained in the forty-mile cylinder.
5. Let the load of tons start from Balti-
more when the pumps are started at Washing

arrive at Washington as soon as the shaft has

pressure on the pumps equal to drawing the
load, viz: less than one-half pound to the inch.

able members, has departed this life,
Resolred, by this society, that in the death Of
William M. Overton, we feel that we have sus-
tanned no common loss. His summons home de.
prived us Of cherished friend-a most valuable
member, and gentleman who was a true type
of Virginia character. Eminent for genius
and for learning, he was also marked by n
quickness Of apprehension, an instructive per
ception Of character. knowledge Of Virginia
habits Of thought, feeling and action. and
natural sympathy with those habits that nre
eminently qualified him to be the historian Of
the good old State in which he was born. and
which he so much loved.
Resolred, That we deplore his death with an
unaffected sorrow, and tender our heartfelt sym.
pathies to his bereaved widow, his relatives.
and the numerous friends whom he loved so
well and by whom he was most afTectionately
beloved in return.

We met yesterday our friend, the Hon. Mr..
Martin, whom we were pleased to see in good
health in our city. He was formerly valued
representative OF the Sixth district, which he
reduced in 4G from an almost inyeterate dis
ease Of Whiggery TO a firm and healthy Demo

minent Democratic candidate for Governor
of Kentucky, and under whose auspices we
hope to carry the State at the next election.
