Simon Cameron.

The election Of Simon Cameron as Sena-
tor from Pennsylvania is waking up much
indignation. He has the credit of being a
very corrupt ard unprincipled man, and ore
who does not seruplc to reach political sta
ton as Philip conquered cities-by gold.
The Pennsylvania says
That Cameron has purchased his election
is the universal sentiment of all parties
How far the disgrace Of admitting him to
the Senate may be ayerted, as yet we DO not
know. If the plain fact, which all men in
stinctively know ill regard to the means
BY which he secured bis election, can be le-
gally established, the t. s. Senate will owe
1t to Its own dignity to spurn him from that
body. Ey" Cameron is no democrat, but
was elected By the X. Ms and Black Re
publicans, aided by three or four democrats
whose votes were bought.

The puiser reports that the Costa Ricans,
protected by an English feet, had seized
every steamer on the San Juan river
The steamer San Carlos, which left Vir-

soon after she got into the river.

1t is stated aud confirmed that Gen. Hen

Walkers army are said to be7in good spi-

The steamship james Adger, with the
passengers taken from the Tennessee al

What Coed did MIR. Fillm0re's Running
nOe

KS il is contended by some persons ard
presses that Mr. Buchanan owes his cleo
ton to the fact that Mr.. Fillmore was a
candidate, the Augusta (Geo) Constitu-
tionalst, says:
Let us test the value Of this opinion. 1t
viii hardly be sail that Mr.. Fillmore aided
Mr.. Buchanan in the State of New York,
fer Mr. Buchanan will not receive the cleo
toral vote of that State-the same can be
said of all the New England States. Mr..
Fillmore's running did not help Mr.. Buch-
anan in Pennsylvania, for the democratic
ticket obtained more votes in that State than
the Fillmore and Fremont ticket united.
Mr.. Fillmore's running prevented the de-
:aocrstic candidate from receiving the cleo
toral vote of Maryland, and hence be af1or-
ded no help to the democracy III that State
In Ohio Mr. Fillmore was of no service
to the democracy, for that State was carried
BY the Black Republicans
In New Jersey Buchanan received about
as MANY votes as both Fillmore & Fremont
Inasruch as Michigan and Wisconsin
have gone Cor fremont, Mr.. Fillmore did
not aid the democracy in those States.
In Eli the Southern States the Fillmore
party opposed the democracy. Where then
did the know-nothing candidate benefit the
democratic nominee
VIII some Of the wise men of the know
nothing party bring up some reliable data
upon which to sustain the opinion that Mr.
Buchanan owes single electoral vote which
was required to elect him to the presidency to
any effort on the part of Fillmore's friends :?
Mr.. Buchanan owes his votes to the ma
tional democracy of the Union, aided by
thousands of conservative constitutional
wings, and not to know -nothingism or black
republicauism.

Total

The table Of harbors il incomplete, but
the full table win only increase The number
Of thoss Of the South, and show her still
greater relative superiority. A line of sea-
coast skirts her, harbors indent her coast,
and magnificent rivers give access to every
portion Of her territory. The ocean high
way is at her feet, and ample rivers bear
the products of her soil and industry to that
maritime highway where fleets of merchant
men eongregate. With railroads and riy-
ers traversing every portion of her territory
with safe and ample harbors indenting
Eer coasts, and with her shores washed by
the ocean, what does the South lack of mere
facilities for transportation Nothing-lite-
rally nothing. 1t, then, she established an
Independent and separate government, would
she be shut out from intercourse with the
world, by reason Of her geographical posi-
ton? Her thousands of miles of sea-coast
and river give the answer She is, through
out her whole extent by the act of God, in
contact with the commercial world. All
through her runs great commercial nerve.
The South, then, does not want people,
or territory, or commercial facilities, to es-
tabllsh an independent government, does
she lack material resources?
Let us turn to the statistics Of exporta-
ton, and see which section furnishes them.
The Secretary of the Treasury, in his late
report, sets down the expectation of domos-
tie produce, exclusive of specie, at $780,
43S ,051. OF this amount, cotton, which
is exclusively from the South, furnishes
$12S, 3S2, 35l tobacco gives Sla,aa ,s43;
aud rice yields 81, 800, 333-both of which,
also, are exclusively Southern; breadstuhs
and provisions are estimated at ST. ESQ.,
400 products of t! forest, at $40, 694 1874;
OF manufactures, at $50, 970, 992 F.; Of the
sea, at So, 356,T97 Now take S12s 382,-
351 for the value of cotton, and S12, 22l :
SAB for tobacco, and $3.50 ,233' for rice,
which are exclusively southern staples. and
we have the sum of $l42, 99A, AT, which
the South contributes to the expectation of
the country in three staple prodacts, which.
in the Union are only raised within her
limits. But her contribution docs net stop
here. OF the $77, $3.50, 455 furnished By
breadstuffs and provisions, she contributed,
at least, $50 900, 900; of the products of
the forest, in the shape of lumber, &c., she

CALCULATION BY MACHINERY

The attention Of the learned world ia now
engfossed, says the Independence Beige, ty
a new invention, which promises to be Of
universal usefulness Mr.. Thomas. of Col
mar, after thirty years of hard study and
assiduous labor, has at last solved the prob
lem OF calculation by mechanism. His ma
chine, which he has baptised "Arithnom.-
tire, is applicable to the mechanical solu-
ton OF all arithmetical operations from the
simplest to the most complicated ones. This
Instrument solves with the most infaliible
correctness, not only the four rules-addi
ton, ssbstraction, Multiplication, and d.
yision-but also aseertains the powers of
quantities, extracts the roots of numbers re-,
solves trangles, reduces ordinary and deci-
mai fractions, and defines the rules of pro-
portion, etc. It's rapidity of execution ia
such as to defy the ablest ealeulators. Al
multiplication Of eight numbers with eight
numbers is executed in eighteen seconds a.
division Of sixteen cyphers through eight
eyphers, III twenty-four seconds. The ma
ehinery Is so simple that, after the expira-.
ton OF live minutes OF instruction, the most
Ignorant head knows enough at calculation
to defy with its help all calculaors, in rapid
lty and correctness. The ''Arithmonset..'F
IS placed in a small, light box, which cam
be easily carried in Il pocket aud is 50 con-.
straeted that its mechanism can scarcely ev-
er be deranged. 1t is already in operation
IN several great commercial houses. the.
house of Rothschilds, and in the Mint OF
France, and it will soon be as common as
letter presses.

bribery and COrrunfinE,

A report Of a debate in Congress, pab-
lished on the first page of to-day's paper,
will inform the reader tlat al, investigation
of a charge Of bribery and corruption "a
gainst member of that body is now going
on before committee appointed for the pur-
pose. The committee consists of Mcssrs.
Kelsey, of n Y, Orr, of s. G.. Davis, Of
Maryland, Richie. of Pa, and Warner, of
Georgia The charge is based upon the
following information
Whereas certain statements have been
published charging the members of this
House with entering into a corrupt eombi-
nation for the purpose Of passing and pre-
venting the passage Of certain measures how
before this Congress and whereas Il mem-
Der of this House has stated, on his own au-
taority that the article is not wanting in
truth Therefore,
'Resotred, That a committee of FIVE mem
hers be appointed by the Speaker, with
power to send for persons and papers, to in
vestigate tie said charges, and that the com
mittee report the evidence to be taken, and
what action in their judgment is necessary
on the part Of the House, without unnecos-
sary delay"
Charges, such as these, should startle ev-
cry man in the Upion--there can be no Sc
eurity for orr rights when the law making
power is corrupt It has been asserted, o.
Yer and over again, that votes are bought in
Washington like any other article of traffic,
and although the evidence has never been
presented in such shape as to fasten eonvie-
ten upon the guilty miscrcants who disgrace
the National Councils, still the statements
are generally believed, and the character Of
that body has suffered much in consequence
thereof The members owe it to themselves,
their constituency and the country, to ex-
pose everything in this matter, that's hav-
ing such a blasting effect upon the reputa-
ton of the Congress.
The member alluded to by Mr.. Paine,
as having offered him bride to vote for the
Minnesota Land Bill is understood to be
Mr.. f. S. Edwards, of the Fredonia (3Oth)
district, New York. 1t is also understood
that Mr. Edwards denies the allegation, as
made, and states that be was misunderstood
by Col Paine.

IN the holy bonds of wedlock. They, with

Power and Wealth Of tie Sersh,

Our Northern brethren (?) have tainted
us so much with our poverty and weakness,
sprlnging. as they say, necessarily, cut of
our slave institutions, that many Of US have
been brought to believe we are really sick
and IN need of a physician.
The following extract from q speech of
Hon. Mr.. kIETT, Of South Carolina, proves
the fallaey of Northern accusation and of
Southern fears. The fact is, that the power
and wealth of this mighty nation lies South
Of Mason & Dixon's line -undminished and
rather augmented by the institution of slave
ry-- without the aid Of which, the workshops
and commerce Of the North would long
since have persisted for want of employment.
Let the patriotic masses Of the non-slave-
holding States ponder well the facts here
disclosed, and learn that every blow aimed
by Fanaticism at their brethren of the
South, must recoil with murderous force on
their own heads--that the destruction of
Southern institutions would 5e the downfall
of this nation.
Is the South Il mean the slave States)
weak in territory? She now embraces nine
hundred and tTentv eight thousand eight
hundred and ninety four square miles, ex-
elusive CT Kansas, while there was but eight
hundred and five thousand foae hundred and
forty two square miles within the limits of
the original Thirteen Colonies.
In i1,G, four hfths Of her soil was un-
trodden by the whites, and savage foes lurk-
ed in every wilderness Now, industry and
the arts are scattered all through her limits,
and her whole surface is breeding wealth,
while no foes ferment within her midst. Her
geographical area is greater than that of
the mightiest nations which have ruled the
world since the dawn of civilization; ana
around her are falling governments whose
fragments are within her grasp.
What, then, does she want of territorial
power to establish and maintain an indepeu-
dent government?
Does the South lack facilities for CONNER
cial intercourse Look at the following Ia
