THE LANGUAGE OF a PATRIOT AND A STATES
MAN-Hon. JohnJ Crittemien recently made
a speech in New York. in which he saidthat
he was glad TO hear that the sentiments 81
the old Wing party on the question Of the
union Of our States. lie had Just, seen the
great Western Territories OF this noble coun-
try, and everywhere, where the same Lap.
gnage is spoken, the anne ideas prevatt and
men think the same. thing. Mr.. Crittenden
said this was not a time to talk of dlsunlon
| Such a thing could not be-. There was no
man in Kentucky bold enough to dream Of .
dissolution OF the Union. MOI should any man
in any part Of the Commonwealth think oilt.
But if men would be so base and r~ecreant as
to desire SO fatal an occurrence, Providence
would not permit their will to succeed. TOD
has given this nation-this great country, ior
nohler and more elevated purposes, and It IS
not His will that they should be a divided,
but an united people. No nation in the MS
tory of the world vas ever endowed with 50
grand and a magnificent d country coun"}
that is to see a population of fifty mlflions.
within its boundaries before the children Of
the present day shall grow up to be men,
Those who talked of disnnion seemed pos "
think of the consequences. What would oe-
come of this great city Of New York 1nFsuch
a fatal emergency? Where would Be neI
marts, her commerce, her shipping? y, ines sss
would all disappear with dissolution Of the
Union, and New York. now so full Of lie, "
hustle, and of commercial activity, would 0t'
come a silent city a city of the dead a
! dissolution q tie Tnien would be a%dIssola'
ton of the Liberties of the Republic, and 's
horrors of civil war would deIuse the lan'
with blood.

LETTER FROM sfR. LOWE.

SIR: In announcing pos;ponement, feel that some
explanation is due the public for the apparent delay
which has occurred in connection with my proposed
aerial voyage to Europe. The whole matter may DC
stated in few words.
To initiate so large a vehicle as the " City of New
York requires considering the facilities afforded by
the Gas Company al least sixty hours OF reasonably
fair weather. and "A continuous flow OF gas Every
prepar.fon had been made 10 start tomorrow. The
present stormy weather has not only mteriered with
the infaiion which began yesterday at o'clock, but
continues retard our operations 10 such an extent as
TO make il somewhat pr0bemacal TO Tx the precise
day of departure.
The public may rest assured that the earliest pract-
cable moment will be- made available for the object
have in view. and that effort will be foregone thai
NAV subserye the OF this. the first voyage upon
the Swings of the wind" from the new TO the old
world.
While the project il grand, magnificent and beautl-
full contemplate the public should not forget that
is none the less laboriOus expensive and hazardous,
and should succeed in the attempt, those who now
hesitate give their confidence may awake TO the
fact that in the bright lexicon of YOUTH there il no
such word as fail" Had my operations been con-
Quoted Immediately near the works of the Gas Com
pany the imitation might have been accomplished in
ten hours or less.
IL should be remembered that the monster ship
Great Eastern has not yet arrived, and il may be
ponderabc pride TO suggest that the aerial ship, OF
which am captain, may touch upon Albion's shores
long in advance of the anchorage OF the English eyl-
than in American water. Should l. Mr.. Editor, be the
humble means of advancing the interests of science
and in some measure adding 10 the glory of com
mon country, shall be than repaid for the long
months OF thought and research and labor that have
contributed 10 the accomplishment OF the great design
