ERlCssoNs CALoIIc ENGISE-A new penny
paper called the Press, has been started IN Gin.
cnnati by Henry Reid, Esq, formerly OF the
Cincinnati Commercial. It Is worked On Hoe
lightning double cylinder press. driven BY one
OF Ericsson s ealoric engines. 1t has now been
in operation something over a week, SO that
fair opportunity has been had for testing its
merits and advantages. After giving it this fair
trial, the editor says its compete success is es-
tablished, and he consratalates his readers that
in introducing to the West this wonderful mo-
tor, his expectations are more than realized
The Press is printed at the rate of three thou
sand Impressions an hour, and the paper bears
evidence that no better work can be done either
by hand power or the old steam engine. But
the most singular fact connected with this re-
markable triumph Of genius, is that the expense
OF running It is only one cent and a hall an hour!
or 81 cents for "a running hours. This state
ment agrees with one made 10 us hy Mr.. Kiteh
en-, the present owner Of the patent and the
New York manufacturer, and also with one made
by Schenectady paper, which has used it for
much longer period. We believe the same
kind OF engine is used il the New York Post Of.
nee. II a longer experiment shall bear out
these expectations in regard to its capacity. its
general adoption to the printing business and
the cost Of running il, every printing office in
the country would save more than the cost in n
single year by throwing aside the steam engine
and procuring one of the caloric, in the article
OF fuel alone, to say nothing of the reduction in
the rates OF Insurance. and its other advantages.

DOUGLAS LAYS Down MS PRoGRAMME.-
Douglas has laid down his programme for 1860,

DoUGLAs LAYS Down HIS PROGRAMME
Douglas has laid down his programme for 1860,
and it is in substance as follows
He is no: a candidate for President before the
Charleston Convention but he goes to the
Convention as Delegate from this State He
then presents his platform to the Convention
| and tells the Democratic party, In Council as
sembied, to take its choice-either to accept
his platform, or he will blow up the concern as
Van Buren, did in ls4S.
This is great disappointment to the thou.
sands OF young men in this and other Northern
States, who were in expectation that Douglas
would be the candidate of the party in 1860
But they have got to stand it, and being vet
young can afford to give up the spoils Of office
Tor the sake OF being great national reformers
for four years to come.-Chicago Democrat.
Our SENAToRs.-Senator Jones, Of Iowa, was
by singular coincidence, absent from his seat
when the vote was taken in the Senate post
poning the Homestead Bill, and thus killing it
oil for this session. The vote was a tie. and
had our Senator been in his seat and voted
against the postponement, this "poor mans
bill would undoubtedly have passed after a.
proper discussion Of its merits But Jones
knew that by roting he would either have to
oppose the majority OF his own party in Con-
gress, or else oppose the wishes and feelings of
his constituents in Iowa. So he lodged the
vote. Senator Harlan was in his seat and voted
against the postponement. 1t is well Iowa has
at least one man to represent her in the Senate
OF the United States-a man who is not afraid
TO vote on any question, nor to declare his full
and candid opinions on it. This session will
close in few days, when Senator Jones will be
superseded by Senator Grimes, man who will
always be found at his post OF duty, an earnest

opponent of what he knows is wrong. Senator
Grimes will do honor to his State. Iowa has
reason to be proud of her Senators, Harlan and
Grimes. No State in the Union is represented
by sounder men or stauncher Republicans-Da-
