n. NJ. Price, ESQ. Mr.. Prices
friends are moving quietly, but effectively to
secure his nomination for seat in the next
Legislature. Mr.. Price knows no such word
as fail. and having fairly entered the field.
he will carry the convention by storm, and
leave Guelich, and Stewart. and Gurley, and
Leake, and shorey out in the cold. Mr.
Price represents the Young America wing
of the Republican party. and has therefore
to encounter a good deal of secret hostility
and pooh pooling from score OF old fosslls
Who deserve to be cleared right out. 1t is
disgr Aceful for these superanuated office
hunters to throw obstacles in the way OF
this rising young man as they have Of late
attempted. They must reform their con.
duct altogether, or we shall speak right out
in meeting. and publicly reprimand them.
SHOT ACCIDENTALLY. - Yesterday
morning Mr.. E. W. Miner, of the firm Of
Miner, Haskell 4 Co., took . pistol which
was Kept In the store as "persuader, and
went TO the back door to fire it off. % he
did not wish to have it remain loaded. He
fired the weapon at board fence, thinking
no harm; but it go happened that an Irish
man whose name We forget, was behind the
fence. and the bullet passed through the
fence and likewise through the calf Of the
said mans leg. The person wounded, as
may well be imagined, was badly frightened
but not more 30 than Mr.. Miner, when he
ascertained the damage he had thus unin-
tentionally done. Mr.. N. took the unfor.
tunate man to DR., Adler's. had the wound
dressed, and became responsible for the ex.
pense incurred by this unfortunate affair -
No blame whatever is attached to our
friend Miner

The COMING ELECTION.

We are now on the eve Of an important cam
faiga-important because the result will in q
measure give an index of what we must expect in
1860, whether the Democratic or Republican par
ty is successful. If the Republicans are defeated
at the coming fall election, it will give new cour-
age to the Democracy and greatly embarrass the
Republicans in 1860. Hence the Republicans
will no doubt use all means in their power to Sc
cure the victory this fall. Among the means they
will try to uae, are the eleven thousand votes of
the colored citizens, the importance of which was
demonstrated last fall, for out of the 1900 ma
jority for Gov. Morgan, IL 900 were colored votes.
Now, as the colored people are of so much help
to the party, and are scattered in all parts of the
State, consequently unable to send q Represen-
tative to the Legislature, they have the right and
should demand of the party that looks to them
for support in q time when their support
is most needed, some promise or pledge that
they will do something whereby the whole
people may be benefited. Gratitude, il would
seem would prompt the Republicans TODD some
thing of the kind, if there is any gratitude
in politics. But they will make no promises as a
party, and whatever the colored NAH has got out
of them has been by the greAtes, excrtiOns wrung
from them. In the last session of the Legisla-
ture, one of the most important acts that would
benefit the colored people of the State, was crush.
ed, when the majority were Republicans. This
year the lower house Of the Legislature will re-
main the same as last year, but there will be an
election Of members for the Senate, and the color
ed men will be called upon to give support to the
Republican nominees. Now. the colOred man be-
fore giving his vote should look back and see what
the Republicans have done tor them since the last
election. see what has become Of the Personal
Liberty Bill, and enquire of the Republicans if
they will in any manner remunerate them for
their support in case they are victorious. Now,
during this campaign is the time for making de-
mands, for the Republicans are conscious that in
order to scceed in 1860 they must carry the cleo
ton this fall and whatever answers you may
get to your demand this fall, should have an in
huence in your voting next fall.
This year the right of suffrage resolutions must
be passed before they 60 to the people, and next
year they 90 to the people. Now the first de-
mand is that those resolutions be passed, and the
next, that the Republicans use as much influence
in having the people vote for them, as they would
for any other measure for the benefit Of the peo-
pie you also have the right to demand of them
a bill for the full protection of your person the
same as white citizens, SO that under no pretext
whatever you may be kidnapped into slavery.
Surely these are small demands in proportion to
The support given to place the Republican party
in power, and if they are really what they pre-
tend, you have a right to expect a favorable ans
wer to your requests.

MAGNETIZED LOCOMOTIVES.

A trial of the newly patented improvement Of
locomotive epgines,-that is, maguetizing the
wheels to increase their adhesion to the track, and
obviate the necessity of giving the locomotive such
enormous weight-was recently made upon the
Fitchburg railroad, near Boston, with the follow
ing results
l. The track and wheels were creased, and the
locomotive chained to a post steam power was
then applied, without this attachment, when it re-
quired nineteen pounds steam to the inch to slip
the driving wheels. With the ATTACHMENT, it re-
quired thirty-fve pounds steam to slip the wheels
2. On o clean rail it required fifty pounds steam
per inch, to slip the wheels without magnetism ;
with magnetism and the same kind Of rails, eighty.
eight pounds of steam.
