it is pleasant TO announce an invention
which promises to obviate all these incon-
veniences, and to facilitate immensely the
object OF pen-craft. A son of our medical
Nestur, DIR. Francis, has been lcng engaged
IN perfecting a machine whereby every man
may become his own printer. By an in.

The Democratic Republican Party.
Its Great Nilsson.

The idea which certain editors entertain
thst the only mission which the Republican
party had was the establishment of tree in
stilutions in Kansas, and when that end as
gained, nothing more was TO be, or could
be done by it, is a very erroneous idea
Those v ho entertain it, take a very narrow
view Of the field, or have given little or TO
reflection to the subject. The attempt to
force slavery into Kansas was bold and
reckless stretch Of power on the part Of the
sIsvehs.ders and their dough-faced allies
il was, however, on,y a result which na-
iurally followed from the determined policy
30 long carried on by the SIu'h, through
the machinery of Congress, and the manu-
fscture of Presidents. That the people of
the free states-,hs Republicans of the
free states have succeeded thus far in frus-
trating the designs OF the save power in
their raid upon Free Kansas, is enc OF the
evidences we have that the love of free soil
is not wholly obliterated from the free hearts
of this nation; and e, in the end, Kansas
escapes from the clutches of the slave pow
or and enters the Union with a free con-
stitution, it will prove one of The greatest
snd most signal victories that has been
achieved for human rights since the war OF
the Revolution, but it will not end the mis-
siun of the Repub blican party. Indeed the
mission of Repub!cun'sm will have but
heenn. We have much yet TO eradicate of
Existing evils, and there are more hid be-
hind the curtain of the future, which are
vet 10 be disclosed to us.
In this country, there are two antagon-
isms-Slave-y and Freedom. Tae so-called
Democratic party do the work Of Slavery.
The Democratic Republican party is the
party which is to battle wiih and iinally to
overthrow Slavery as a national institution.
At the present time, il is supreme in fifteen
States of the Union, but it is enrenched as
the Russiqns we-e in The Redan and the
Maiakoff, in the Federal Government J.
controls its action. it dictates its appoint
,nents, it shapes its policy, and enacts its
laws. While il SO remains, every man ho
speaks freely and feels warmly Tor Liberty
and agsins. bondage, is as much excluded
from Office and honor in the administration
of the National 6 Ivernment. as though he
were an alien and an outlaw. From the
highest Office TO the lowest, fom the su-
yreme judgeship to the meanest post Office,
the power that controls the appointments is
the power of Slavery. No man in the Free
States, unless he be doughiace, can hope
to obtain Office or honor from the Federal
Government.

solved that I should remain there no lon

older than myself, had long detected my
failing strength, and it was mainly through
her efforts that I was removed from the
place, for l should never have complain

THE CHINESE SUGAR CANE.-The Ga
lena Gazette says: Last year a bountiful
crop of the Chinese Sugar Cane was
raised in Minnesota. 1t is stated that
good syrup was made from stalks, scarce
one hundred days from the seed. 1t also
grew thrifty and ripened in Wisconsin.
Illinois, Massachusetts, and in most or
all the States west or south. 1t grew in
the greatest luxuriance in moist, loamy
soil, well manured, with an aspect but
partially exposed to the morning and eve
ming sun. and attained height of seven
teen feet, with stalks an inch and a half in
diameter. On dry Indifferent soils un-
manured, and fully exposed TO the sun
during the day, the plants did not attain
to more than half of these dimensions.
