NEW-HAMPSHlRE ELEC TON.

FL m Our Own Correspondent
MANCHESTER, y. H., March II, 1857.
The battle roll of the gallant Republican army
in his State has been called anew, and hosts have
gathered around the standard, aud with brave
hearts and strong hands have made one more charge
upon the all es of the slave driving obgarchy.
Aesin the "Gibral.ar Of Democricy' has been
tsk.p. but this time the Republican forces have
used neither shot nor she'll but taken the rotten
fortress with "IIsILE :" Such Halle storm
was never before witnessed upon the weather beaten
hills of old Democratic New-Hampshire as pre-
vailed here Yesterday. The "old Granite State
has again set her seal of dsapprobatlon on the prn-

My simple tale is not written merely as a

truth. What that truth may be I1eave to
your own judgment and common sense TO
You see, in the case Of Lula, the conse-
quences of violating the laws of nature, and
marrying for appearances man whom she
never loved. You see the folly and sin Of
undue parental Interference in love affairs,
and the suiferings whicl, spring from these
"matches of convenience" concocted by am
bilious fathers and vain mothers, for their
own aggrandisement.
God forbid that you should understand
mo as advocating parental disobedience, or
Il stubborn and selfish independence to the
opinions or wishes of parents concerning
the road to the marriage altar.
But If he, whom you have reason to be
lieve loves you, is an honest man, and true.
and you reciprocate his feelings, marry hjmt
with your parents consent and blessing. if

You have your rights, dear girls, and the

Mr.. Palmer. Mr. President: do intend
TO make but few remarks on this question.
The merits of the bill have been so clearly

which they have omitted to do. It must

is ample for its endorsement, shall vote
for this measure.
Mr.. Barton did moi rise to make a speech.
but having heard gentlemen aude to the
precedent in granting aid TO the Savannah

as we are governed by precedents, and this
case will become a preceden, hereafter, he

DETERMINING THE WEIGHT OF THE

determining the weight Of the earlh-that
Is, the scales-consisted Of two small balls.
about two inches in diameter, carried ON a
rod suspended by two wires at a small dis.
tance from each other. The position of
these balls was viewed from distance by
telescope. When this was done, large balls
OF lead, which moved on n turning groove,
were brought near the small balls. Obser-
vations were then made on the small baIs
again, and in every case the small balls were
put into state Of vibration and moved to.
wards the large balls. Now, knowing tho
size oi the large balls, and their distance
from the small balls, and knowing the
size of the earth, and the distance Of the
small balls from its centre, the proportion
OF the attraction Of the large balls on the
small balls 10 the attraction OF the earth on
the small balls can be calculated; and from
these results, the mean density of the earth
was found 10 be 5.67 times the density of
water that is, the average density of Gu
bic foot Of the earth is more than 8 l2
times heavier than cubic foot of water.
Having ascertained this result, and which
agreed. very nearly with the observations of
Cavendish in the Schehellien experiments,
al remaining to be known is, how many
cubic feet there are in the earth. Now. Ia.
king the dimensions Of the earth, as dedu.
ced from the best experiments. there are
259,SOO millions OF cubic miles in the earth:
each cubic mile contains l47,2oo millions
of cubic feet; and each cubic foot weighs
5.67 times cubic foot of water, which
weighs about 50 lbs; therefore cubic foot
of the earth weighs about 354 lbs., and g.
