the fun bench on certain points of law. In 1867
the case was again tried, and the verdict was in

A New Volume Of Poems.

The numerous friends of that popular
writer, Rev. II. HARBAUGH, will be pleas
ed to learn that the cnterprising publish
ing house Of Lindsay Il Blakiston, Phiia-
delphia, have in press and will soon pub
lish. a volume of Poems from his pen.
We have been favored with some Of the
advance sheets of this book, and can prom
isc the public that it will be work of
rare merit, and we feel satisfied that it
will vie in popularity with his other vol
umes which have had large sale and still
enjoy an increasing popularity. There is
nothing idle or meaningless in anything
thing that Mr.. Harbaugh writes He al
ways has an object steadily in view, and
that object is not only to make men wiser
but better also. This object is apparent
all through the Poems here collected to-
gethcr in an attractive form. We regard
his "Conestoga," first published in this
paper, and his "Mystic Weaver recent
ly published in The Guardian, as two of
the best constructed little poems in the
language. Here is another, copied from
the publishers, prooi-sheets before us,
which, although of another order, is none
the less beautiful and suggestive. 1t was
written under tree in the far West:

Tendencies of Inventions.

No one can fail to notice the great pro
grcss of inventions and Improvements III
every department of the mechanical arts,
from the apparently insignificant boojack
and penholdcr, up to the steamship or bal
loon. They are crowded into the Patent
Office, by dozens, every day; and when
patented, they are constructed by machi-
merry, also patented, as fast as possible, and
flooded over the land ina constant stream.
Look at the immense number Of reapers,
thrashing machines, seed drills, &c., III the
farming line, to which the steam p'ow
must now be added, sewing machines to
keep woman from working her~elfto death
with the needle and in every department
of business or life, We see some invention
to save labor, or make labor more available,
to make man the director, the ruler of
matter and not be slave to himself. This
directing, this ruling Of matter, Is being
carried on, still further, every day. Steam
ships are now built very large, but the
"Great Eastern" now completed in Eng
land, will be us large as two or three COM
mon steamships, and is found to work very
we'll An immense air-ship is now nearly
finished in New York, with which the
builder proposes to cross the Atlantic in
about ten days, and it is quite probable
that he will succeed. The Atlantic Tele-
graph is in fair prospects of second lay
ing. So are all the enterprises of the pre-
sent time-all lead to the immense. Now
the question is, What does all this lead
to? This is what it may lead to-thcsc
improvements these immense contrlvanccs,
all do very well while able to be controlled,
but when they get the control, the conse-
quences are sometimes terrible. What
awful disasters occur when a large steamer
wrecks, or burns when a large powder
magazine cxplodcs. when a fire breaks out
in a large city, These show what matter
will do when set in motion by man, and
led so far sometimes as to be beyond con
troll. Electricity is the most powerful
natural agent as yet discovered, and as YET
it is measurably under control; but, being
as powerful as it is, how awful and terri
hle must be the consequences, If 1t should
get the mastery. The idea of a French
man, NJ. Huzar, is worthy Of some thought
He says, that, getting wiser every day
and making use of electricity in larger
and larger quantities, until such large
quantity would be collected, that, if il
should obtain the mastery, the consequences
would be such as to destroy the world
This may not happen-it is unlikely
is barely possible; but so the engineer
told Napoleon when the Alps Were to b,
crossed, and the Alps 'eere crossed. There
is no telling what day may bring forth.

HENRY CLAY ON SLAVERY.

Members of the Buchanan party some
times attempt to justify their course on
the ground that the views entertained by
the Opposition on the subject of slavery
are at variance with those held by the
parties to which they were formerly at
tached This assertion has been made SO
often, and repeated with such assurance,
as to encourage in the minds of many the
belief that there is in reality some found
alton for it. 1t will hardly be disputed
that Henry Clay understood fully the SEN
timcnts of party, Of which, while living,
he was the embodiment and the political
idol. Let us hear him on this subject,
and see whether his views are in opposi-
ton to those of the Republican party, as
enunciated in their platform adopted in
Philadelphia, in June, 1856. One Of
their resolutions, and that most pertinent,
reads thus:
Resolved, That the Constitution confers
upon congress SocTei9" po"eT oec' me Ao'-
ritories ofMe United .States 10" their goo-
ernment, and that, i'll the exercise Of this
power, it is both the RIGHT and the DUTY
or Congress to prohibit in the Territories
those twin relics OF barbarisni-polygamy
and slavery.
Now hear Mr.. Clay:
"Thc power, then, Mr.. President, in
my opinion-and | extend it to the intro
duction as well as the prohibition of sla-
very in the new Territories EN-
IST IN CONGRESS, and | think there
is this important distinction between sla-
very outside of the States and slavery
inside of the States-that all outside Of
the State is not debatable, and all inside
of the States is not debatahle." Clay's
Compromise speech in Senate, Feb. .,
1856. Cong. Globe Appendix, Vol y,
part page III.
Hear him again:
81 have said that | never could vote
for it myself, and | repeat that l never
can and never will vote, and II" earthly
,,wcr viii ever make mc vote to spftda
