FIR. WILNor,s LETTER

In another column we publish a letter of
Hon. David Wilmot, in reply 10 several inter
rogato.ies addressed 10 him recently by COM
Inittee appointed at the regular meeting of the
american State Council, held at Altoona some
time since, regarding his views on certain sub
jects. His reply is such as we had right 10
expect from a man who has no desire to with
hold his opinions, and is actuated By patriotic
motives When taken in connection with his
letter OF acceptance, this letter places Mr..
Wilmot in position which should secure him
the influence and vote of every American, Re-
public, Wing, or Democrat, who loves our
country and her free institutions. lie holds
that the policy of the Roman Catholic church
is to enslave, and no matter under what cir
cumstances they are placed, or by what infiu-
cnces they are surrounded, its votaries are ar
rayed in political action on the side of slave
~ that this, with their unity of action, has a
mischieYous tendency, and that the interfe-
renee OF church hierarchies in politics should
be stopped. To the interrogatory as to wheth-
er he is in favor of protection to American
rights, labor and interests, he gives his deci-
ded assent /; Il remark, in short, that applies 10
all his answers to the questions propounded.
Mr.. Wilmot is known to be the strenuous op-
gonent of slavery extension. With the ''pe-
culiar institution" in the States where it ex-
lists, he does not wish to interfere; but when
ever an effort is made, by either southern fire
eaters or northern doughfaces, or these COM
bined, TO plant that institution in the virgin
soil of our territories, then you will at once
find him battling with his whole strength a.
gainst such an encroachment. We hope every
individual in the State will read this letter,
as well as re-peruse his letter of acceptance.
If these are not sufficient to satisfy any rea-
tonable man, nothing will be. One thing is
certain, that he who pretendS to be a true A
merican, and alter reading this letter viii per-
sist in asserting that Mr.. Wilmot is not sound
on this question, must be either s'a knavc or a
fool, If net both. We expect nothing else
than that the political scoundrels who are the
head of a certain clique, sailing under Amer
can colors. will find fault with it-either that
it is too long or too short, that he hasn't said
he is in favor of hanging the Irish or selling
the Dutch to pay off the State debt. o. some
other equally reasonable objection. That is TO
be expected but we trust the good sense Of
every man viii induce him to disregard
the bOmbast, nonsense and Misrepresentation
OF these political ssworkers of iniquity,'' who
are nothing more than the laclxeys of Locofo-
coism. Elect Wilmot, Millward, Vcech and
Lewis, and you inflct death wound TO Loco
focoism, political Romanism, and the spread
of Slavery.

4 GREAT FISH KETrLE.-Mr. r obert Postans,
writing TO The London Times, gives the follow
ing description of natural fisiI-kettle in the
island of St. Paul :-s'Perhaps the chief reason
why ST. Paul does not need hospice is, that
it possesses natural and unfailiDg supply of
provisions, which seems to have been entirely
forgotten by those who advocate the erection
of hospice there. 1t is as yon are doubtless
aware, volcanic island, on the side of which
there is a large and deep lagoon, evidently
the crater of an exhausted burning mountain.
One side of this circular basin is brok away,
and through a narrow throat or entrance the
sea ebbs and flows. The opening is about
pistol-Shot wide. In this lake, which is about
two miles in circumference. the water is as
smooth as a millpond. In rowing round this
exhausted crater, | found smoke rising amid
the stones on its beautiful beach in various
places, and on landing found the water close
to the shore so hot that L could not bear my
hand in it. The temperature Of the air was IS
degrees by thermometer. (which on being plum
ged into the water ascended to 200, and on re-
peating the experiment in various places it rose
to a similar elevation, and even to the boiling
point. The lagoon are full of delicious fish,
but | am ignorant of their names; they APP
peared to me TO be species of haddock and
cod, only larger, and are easily caught with
piece of red bunting, or piece OF pork fast
ened to a hook. After catching boat-fui of
fish our party boiled them in the springs, and
found them excellent food. L should mention
that there is narrow belt of sea in the lake,
which may be styled N fishes water, where
it is too hot for them; but it extends only a
few yards from the hot water. so that it is pos
sible for a man to catch a fish in the bow of a
moderately long whale-boat and walk aft and
drop it into bot water and cook it. Vlamming,
the Dutch navigator, who visited st. Pau's in
1897, mentions this fact and if your readers
should feel disposed to doubt the truth of this
statement beg to refer them to Horsburgh' s
Sailing Directory to the East for description
OF this remarkable lagoon. In addition to
these authorities, / also append my name and
address 10 vouch for the truth of this singu-
lar fact"

KANSAS TERRIToRIAL ELEcrToN.-There is
to be an election in October for a Delegate to
Congress and Territorial legislature in Kan
sas and as Gov. Walker has repeatedly given
the assurance that sin October next, not un-
der the act of the late territorial legislature,
but under the laws of Congress, you, the whole
people OF Kansas, have rigat to elect dele
gate to Congress, and TO elect territorial leg
isiature, !" the late Free State Convention re-
soiVed that the Free State men would attend
that election in a body and elect Territorial

such. They also adopted resolution author
izing Gen James II. Lane to organize the
people in the several districts to protect the
ballot boxes against the Missourians This
looks like pluck and determination not to be
cheated again.

ling, buying, using them. Whenever and
wherever they are found the law will be strictly
enforced. All parties using these machines as
well as those who vend them, make themselves
liable for damages.
About the Doth day of August 1856, 1 was
employed by Messrs. Watson, Wooster & Co ,
composed of VIM. c. Watson, Morris Knight, and
Geo. HI. Wooster, to manufacture SeEing Ma
chimes, which were known as the "Watson Ten
Dollar Sewing Michne.'' That thereafter re-
ceived notice from the counsel OF o. B. Potter
and N. Wheeler; ment toned in tho annexed copy
Of Injunction, informing me that these Machines
were an infringement upon Letters Patent which
they owned, and that suits would be instituted
against me, unless should otherwise settle with
them. This notice handed to Mr.. w Ooster, one
of my employers.
| / then made investigations to ascertain the
facts, and found that said Machine, as believed,
was an infringement of said Patent, and | in-
formed said Watson that such was my opinion.
Subsequently suit was commenced against
me by said Potter and Wheeler, and Immediately
thereafter so informed Mr. Watson, and reques
ted him to take charge Of the defence Of the
same, and he refused to do so, and then told him
that would have nothing more TO do with it, and
| then ceased to make the Machines; and the in
junction, copy Of which is hereto anne x"d, was
issued and served upon me. JOEL CHASE.
