Power OF Sea-DreakerS.

/ Stephenson, the builder of Eddy
stone lighthouse, found, by expert
ment at the Bedrock and Sherry
we're lighthouses, that while the force
Of the breakers on the side OF the
German Ocean may be taken at about
a ton and a half Oh every square foot
of surface exposed to them, the Al
lantic breakers fall with about double
that weight, or three tons to the
square foot. And thus we reckon
that surface of only two square rods
would sustain blow from a heavy
Atlantic breaker equal to about fifty
four tons.
When, in November, 1924, a hea-
Wy gale blew, and another at the be-
ginning of 1929, blocks of granite
and limestone, from two to five.tons
in weight, were washed about like peb-
bles at the Plymouth breakwater.-
About three hundred tons Of such
blocks were borne distance of two
hundred feet, and up the inclined
plane of the breakwater, and they
we're carried over it and scattered in
various directions. A block of lime
stone, seven tons in weight, was in one
place washed q distance Of one hun |
dred and fifty feet.
Blocks of two aud three tons in |
weight, were torn away BY a single |
blow of breaker, and hurled over
into the barbor; and one of nearly !
two tons. strongly trenailled down up
on a jetty, WAS torn away and tossed |
upward by an overpowering breaker.

The Elections in VERMONT and MAINE show a
falling Of in the general vote and of course re-
ducton of the heavy Republican majorities of last
YEAR. There is no gain to the other side but Il
FIN pie neglect to vote this by thousands
whom the Presidentialcontest, the Kansas outrages
AID TIE IufIiany beating Of Senator Sumner, called
to the polls last year. Nobody could have expected
that tie eide which receives tire sufr1ge6 Of great
majority of those who are not inveteIste partsans
would receive go large mejorties this year as last;
but the returns show that the Republican column
il those States stands firm and unbrtsen, even by
the insidious approaches Of General Apathy.
We are next to receive returns from three Of the
most important and interesting of the Free States
--PENNsYLvANIA, ONO, and CALIFORNIA, Of
which the last named has already voted, while the
two former will do so on the second Tuesday in
October. The fact that DAVID WnMoT SALMON
y. CHASE and EDWARD STANiY lead the Re-
publican hosts of these States respectively gives
additional interest to their struggles. Zach of these
gentlemen has borne a prominent part in the long
aid arduous struggle against Slavery Extension
Mr.. Chase in the Senate and Messrs. Wlmot and
Stahly in the House Of Representatives as wei as
in discussions before tie People. Mr.. Wi'mot's
name is inseparably connected with that struggle
by the WImot Proviso; Mr.. Chase went into tue
Senate On distinctively Anti.Slavery grounds and
nobly INDICATED his right to be distinguished as
the first Senator so elected. He was one of tie
ablest most earnest most effective, of the Spartan
band that fought the Nebraska bill on its passage
through the Senate. Mr.. Stshly, while represent
iDg a slavehoding constituency, was one OF the
frmest and most outspoken opponents Of the An.
nexa.ion of Texas, and voted, with seven other
S,utbrons to lay on the table Mr.. Claytons propo-
,ton to refer the question Of Slavery Extension to
the arbitration Of the Supreme Court For his
course on the Slavery issues which arose during
his iervice in Congress, be was denounced as a
.ratsr TO the South; and he was one Of the ear
heat and most efficient supporters of the RePub-
lean cause in California. We cannot hope for bis
ees,ioD: but we do hope to chronicle vote for
him exceeding that ever yet given to any Repub-
lican west of the Rocky Mountains. And it seems
to us that any Republican living in Ohio or Penn
syvania should rejoice in the privilege Of recording
his yste for such representative man as Salmon r.
Chase OF David Wilmot.

would have been far fewer murders in our STATE

worthy citizen, whose name will help the ticket

short couings Of Masters which they had decided
to pubIi.h--tbe South win permit no publication
whatever relative to Slavery By tais esninentiy
National Society. Itrefuses not merely to hear
tie Tract Society On this subject. II tie subject
be discussed in any Of the Socieys publications,
the South will not hear the Society on any subject
whatever. And it is to such menaces that men
like the Rev DR.. Williams would seem to have
,uccumbed, We regret it, and Think they will
live TO share in this sentiment 1t seems to us that
il would be unfair for these Committees to distrb-
ute tracts against rumseIiDg in Cherry street, or
those condepning harotry at the Five Points, after
this decision.
The Committees tell US in conclusion that they
are "seekiDg the things that make for Peace"
ard aiming to secure the fruit Of righteousness
sown in Peace" by the course they have resolved
on. 1t seems TO US that the Bible estimate OF
Peace and the Bible method Of obtaining Peace,
are antagonist to the Committees. First pure,
THEN peaceabIe," is the well. known Scriptural
rule. To seek peace through subseryiency to wrong
seems the last way to secure that peace which
the world can neither give nor take away.
Slavery is either one Of the very greatest wrongs,
and the fruitful parent Of other wrongs, with all
manner Of vices and evils, or it is just and proper
relation which Christians may blamelessly maintain
and uphold. Its rightfulness is evidently ques'
ton Of ethics, of morals, and Of Christian theology.
Coed men may be honestly mistaken with regard
to its true character; but woe to them who, per.
ceivirg the right, conceal or dissembie it. How
can they read without twinge Of conscience the
geit Apostles DE- caratOn, II have not Stunned
"to declare the whole counsel Of God"'
