shows how much truth there is in the &C
cusation of Mr.. Douglas, enemies, that, i
nominated, he will not be supported by tht
South The exception we ahyied to was,
man in Alabama by thena1ne Of Pugh, who
by some strange freak, got the democratic
nomination for Congress. His speeches
proved him to be a fire eater of the mos
intense kind. In one of his foolish speeches
he said
- !" / would not support Staphen A.. Douglas
IF he accepted a nomination, on my owr
platform. Hesaid that he regarded Douglas
as corrupt man, ana unworthy the sup
port of true patriots NO matter what plat
form he might run on, or what promises hs
might make. W. -'''
He advised Southern-rights democrats t
go to the Charleston Convention and de-
mand the Endorsement Of the Southern con
struction Of the Cincinnati Platform, the re
pudiation of squatter sovereignty, the pro
lection of slave property in the territories
and the recognition Of all the rights claim
led by the South. If the Southern members
could not control the. Convention, and carry
these points, that they should then quit the
concern and come home. He desired te
make one more effort to save the Union OF
principal, but had very little confidence il
the success Of the effort. If it failed, ther
he wanted the South to be united as ont
man, to burst the unholy bands and take ar
Independent position out Of the Union "a;
These are the kind Of men, who, in the

SHIELDS VS.. RAMSEY.

Gen. Shields, during his long public Ca
reer, has invariably manifested the utmost
zeal in detendingthe interests Of the people
of the West While commissioner of the
general land office, during the administra-
ton of Mr.. Polk, in a lengthysreport to the
President, he urged upon Congress the JUS,
tiee Of reducing the price Of the public
lands. In accordance with this suggestion,
a bill was introduced into the House Of Rep
rescntatives in 1S46, by Mr.. McClernard, to
reduce and graduate the price Of the public
lands. The bill was supported by western
men as measure for the benefit of the
West. The speeches, as they appear in the
congressional Glo5e, show that the bill was
regarded as one, to use the language of a
prominent supporter of the measure, "as ono
that would. foster and encourage emigration
and settlement in the :leW States, and con
sequently their growing wealth and pros
perity." The bill came to a final vote on
the l4th day Of July, 1916, but the Wes,
was weak then-its representation in Con-
gress was tritiing, while the Atlantic States
We're all powerful. Still the measure was SC
just that it was defeated by but a small ma
jority; and reader, one of the members who
contributed to the defeat of that bill by re
|cording his vote against it, was Alexander
Ramsey, then representative in Congress
from Pennsylvania. Ramsey when he had
an opportunity Of serving the people Of the
West by voting as member Of Congress,
for their interests, refused to do So One to
hear the appeals of this arrant delnagogue,
while endeavoring to deceive people into
voting for him, would almost credit the sin
cerity of the attachment to the settlers ol
the West-yet in Congress, when he was
invested with the power to aid them, by as
sisting in the passage of benef1cent meas
ure, he repudiated the pioneers of the new
States and Territories, as unworthy Of gov
ernmental aid. Legislation to benefit set
tiers was unpopular in 1846, and Of course
RAMSEY opposed and voted against such
legislation. The policy advocated by his
party at that time, was that the public
lands should become source Of revenue to
the nation, and that the proceeds arising
from their sale, should be distributed among
the several States of the Union. To pro-
mote and advance this selfish policy: Alex.
ander Ramsey voted directly against the in
terests of every citizen of the West.-Pic-

We find the following description OF new
invention, in the London (England) Ko,ni,,g
Star s.illtt
The invention of the myria type Of
Combaren has been submitted to the GOV
ernment and accepted for inspection. The
marvellous invention being destined to oppe.
rate an immense and immediate revolution
in the art of printing. it is worthy of descrip.
tion. Hitherto the characters used IN print.
ing have been composed Of mixture Of lead
and antonaony; these characters, by reason
of their extreme softness, wear out quickly,
and are, besides, very expensive. The
characters are moulded one by one: the
best workmen can scaacely produce 5000 of
them in day, in the rough. They have
afterwards to be finished up and pass
through several hands. NJ Companion. by
an ingeniously invented machine, produces
10000 Of these characters at one stroke.
Each letter is then divided by mechanical
saw, which divides them with mathematical
regularity and precision. The consequence
of this invention will be-production in
creased cent. per cent; exactitude and reg
alarity, hitherto unattainable; the use of har-
der material, which will avoid the frequent
renewal Of printers materials; reduction (bv
one half) of the o::tlay; and at length the
onesgreat oGect-an increase of printing,
and an enormous dimunition in the price Of
books! Look now through the vista ofap-
preaching years and behold the glorious re-
suit. NJ. Combarien announces his inten-
tons Of producing characters in steel, the
durability Of which will be beyond all calcu-
