goyernment is one Of limited powers and operates
alike in its Influences upon all the States Congress
cannot discriminate in its legislation in favor of one
section to the detrment Of the other. The terrific
ries are the common property Of the United States
open for the settlement Of all its citizens with any
species of property they may carry with them. A
State has the right either to sanction or abolish
slavery. Constitutional compacrs must be observed.
The decisions of the Supreme Court must be acoui.
esced in as the supreme law Of the land These are
the vital and important doctrines upon which the
Democratic party from year year goes befose the
country. The issues are fairly made up, and the
hnal decision must soon be announced. . .-
The history of the Democratic party has been one
Of faithful adherence to the principles Of the Const.
tuition. In Congress its votes have uniformly been
given in opposition to agitation, and in maintenance
of the rights Of both sections. 1t is the only hope
and stay Of the Republic. The South particularly
should give it a cordial and united support To d.
vide, is to expose our weakness, and to encourage
the enemy with the ultima .e hope of destroying the
institution of slavery. The times full of danger
"Coming events" seem to cast dark and fearful
shadowsbefore them. If this government is to fall
before the incensed power of fanatcism, and its
monuments and its trophies to perish in the deplor-
able catastrophe. the Democ, attic party will have
proved itself willing to protect the fabric but pow
erless TO avert its destruction.

The Hydr.p,ic E,evs,o,.

Inc hydraulic Elevator. '7'fNAff
Or. Daniel DuPrs, Of this City, has exhibited and
explained to us our request, the model Of recent
invention of his which is very ingenious, and is des
tined, We think, to be very useful ~.a Fs =0
The Hydraulic Elevator, or elevator of water, con-
s'sts first of fanged cogged wheel driven by PIN
ion as the regulator Of its speed. Secondly, of fat
curved cogged link chain revolving over the wheel
above described. Thirdly to the above links are
secured series of buckets so constructed that they
will not discharge their contents until they pass the
centre of periphery of the above wheel. Fourthly,
the direction of the chain in the bottom of the we'll
is secured by simple guide fanged pulley of wood !;
the distance from bottom of well and tension of chain
are governed by elongated double bevelled KEYS Sc
cured in simple frame. Filthy, this general geer-
ing is arranged enable the operator to stand
on the ground and lift carry the water to any de-
sired height.
The advantages of this water elevator are as fol-
lows: 1t possesses two.fod capacity any pump
now in use, the power employed being equal. 1t is
entirely independent of atmospheric pressure, which
is the great embarrassing principle in the elevation
of water; and it is particularly adapted to Railroad
purposes, no extreme of cold in our country can
defeat its uniform operation. 1t will carry down and
dischargein volume as much pure air under the
face Of the water it discharges water thereby dis
pelng noxious gasses. By the proper adjustment
of sem-circular trough in the bottom of the well
it will act dredge in cleaning out the well and
child OF eight years of age will be able to raise
water with it fifty feet
We understand Dr. DuPre has fled his caveat for
this invention in the Patent Office and the probabi
ity is that it conflicts with principle which has
been patented The inventor is gentleman of in
tegrity and enterprise. What he says may be relied
on and he will lose no time in bringing this useful
invention fully before the public

We have taken no part whatever in the election Of
Speakers or other public officers do we propose
to do so; but we have published from time to time
communications from members of the Legislature
and others setting forth the cla us and qualifications
of their favorites for the Speakerships This is in
accordance with the sricest neutrality especially
as We have given place to nothing rejecting in the
slightest degree npon any gentleman who has been
named for these places.

however, have designated certain gentlemen as es-
pecially qualified for these important posts and as

the name OF gentleman eminently worthy of the

The choice could not fall upon one more worthy

attendant upon the position and his election would
be but just tribute to the valuable services which
he has rendered to his party, and deserved comPli
