The EVERLASTING BLACK. Professor Ham
ilton, in an address TO the graduates Of the hnf.
falo Medical College, the other day, took occa
sion to give some sound views upon the absurd
custom or fashion which has become firmly
fixed in this country, of dressing almost univer.
sally in black, and condemns it as prejudicial to
health ard exercise In the course of his
remarks he says;
ITO foreigners, we seem always to be in
mourning; we travel in black, and we work in
black. The priest, the lawyer, the doctor, the
literary man, the mechanic, and even the day
laborer, choose always the same, unvarying,
mOnotonous black broadcoth; a style and
material which ought never to have been adOp-
ted out Of the drawing rooms or the pulpit ;
because it is feeble and expensive fabric ;
because it is at the North no suitable protectioti
against the cold, nor is it indeed any more suit
able at the South. II is too thin to be worn in
the winter and too black to be cool in the sum.
meF but especially do we object 70 it because
the wearer is always afraid OF soiling it by ex
posure. Young gentlemen will not play ball,
or pitch quoits, or wrestle and tumble, or any
similar thug, lest their brOadcloth should be
offended" ....

RAILROAD AcclDEsT,-Abou o'clock last
Sunday morning, the locomotive ofthe through
freight train going west on the p, Ft. W. 4 O.
Railroad, was thrown off the track at this place,
by the displacement ofa switch, and preeipltated
thrO' the bridge across Erie street. The enRi.
neer, Thomas Brown, went down with his en-
gine, and was so completely wedged in between
the different parts of the wreck, that It occupied
alfhour in extrieating him. He told those
around him that he could not live, and reques
ted them 10 pray with him, but there were none
that felt disposed to do so. Meanwhile he enRaR.
earnestly in prayer for himself Rev. d. D.
Blood was finaly sent for, bat the poor fello "
was too far gone, when he arrived, to receive
much encouragement or counsel. lie died
about lIFee hours after he was taken from the

Messrs. Dsnnison and Ranney held their
first joint meeting at Tifhn, on the 9th inst. II
was scarcely as large as was anticipated, the
Sandusky Register says, yet the audience high
ly respectable in numbers, intelligent and at
tentiye Mr., Dcnnison spoke one hour and
thirty two minutes Mr.. Ranney one hour and
forty minutes, and Mr.. d. closed in twenty
eight minutes. OF the debate the Register re-
marks
The discussion was characterized by be-
coming dignity and manliness and both speak
ers demonstrated themselves to be not only
courteous gentlemen, but accomplished politi-
clans and able debaters
As to who was victor, there is of course a
difference of opinion. Both parties claim a
triumph. We will only say this much, that Re-
publicans have not the least cause to be disslt-
isfed with the result of the contest At the
close of the meeting Republican enthusiasm
was at high cbb Republicans felt they were
laborng in a goud cause, aud were convinced
more than ever that they have a chvarous and
formidable standard bearer in Mr. DennisOn.

Inventors have been busy for some years in
originating and perlecting Steam Pow to go
before the Horse Harvesters on the broad
prairies of the West. Fawkes' Steam Plow
was tested in Illinois last year with cOnsidera
BILE success, AID it is on exhibition ct the
State Fair now being held at Freeport An.
other competitor is in the field. and will enter
the lists at Freeport against all competition. 1t
is the Waters Steam Plow, and recent test of
the machine at Detroit was very satisfactory
Two gang frames of Frye's patent, containing
six shares each, were attached, and twelve fur
row slices turned over in a workmanlike mau-
ner. The Tribune says:
In consequences of the drouth and nature of
the soil, the ground was extremely hard, so
much SO, indeed, that before the trial commCnc.
ed many persons thought that it would be i'm
possible for any plow to make the slightest i'm.
preston on the field, but the hard surface
yielded and old fashioned ideas vanished when
the iron horse was harnesscd and set in mo.
ton. No other steam pOw in Europe or
America is capable Of turning such width of
land as the Waters machine. 1t can take off
one of the gangs and contend with any Of its
eompe titors, and when it is taken into account
that all the others have been considerable
time in the field, have had the advantage Of
frequent trials and been remodeled and altered
again and again, before they were brought to
their present form, it will be seen that the in
venlor Of this pillow, who brings it to the field
fresh from the machine shop, is worthy Of eK
traorduary praise.
The Fawkes' Steam Plows was recently
tried ear Philadelphia. 1t turned 8 furrOws
at time, each foot wide, and of ample
depth. Tho speed showed capacity to plow
several acres per hour The pIows are ats
tached to an engine IS feet long, 7wide, with
upright tubular boiler, and weighs tons. The
work at the Philadelphia test was satisfactory
to the committee and spectators.
Messrs. Van Doren h Glover, of Chicago,
have invented a machine which is a general
farmer It plows, digs bitches, reaps grain,
stacks it, aud mows grass It is on exhibition
at the State rand il is probable that the three
steam machines named will be at the National
Fair at Chicago.

DrlR LEApER;--Alter two weeks soiourn in
this commercial emporium Of North Ameriea
win try TO while away an hour in few jot
dngs for your readers. New York is full Of
strangers, merchants laying in their usual stock
Of fall and winter goods Some pleasure trov-
elers are on their way home, and stop here to
SEQ the sights aud do little Shopping, &c. AL
together tho city is full, and business brisk
aud lively.
The city is extending itself as rapidly as any
in the co untry, and real estate is as good secu-
ri,y for and commands money as readily as any
where. Palaces are rising up from year to
year, with speed almost equal to a railroad -
The Fi0h Avenue Hotel is a sample, and truly
a great one in its line, embracing all the possi-
bic comfort that a traveller could wish for. From
its balcony is the best view oflhe city and envi-
rons that have seen.
Through the politeness Of Mr.. Lowe, lwent
through the Haper's printing establishment
from bottom to top, and was interested and as
tonished to see the vast number of publications
being put through, and the speed and facility
with which so much work is done. With al
their superior machinery, they give employment
to over 400 hands, half of whom are women.
From there passed on 10 Five Points Mis-
sion and truly what labor of love, mercy
and patience, those noble and self sacrificing
men and women are doing for the Outcasts o.
humanity. Heaven bless them and reward
them for their glorious undertaking.
The political waters are being troubled will
reference 60 the contest of 1860. Many name.
are mentioned by the Republicans, but in calm
friendly spirit, that foreruns success, when the
person who is to bear aloft the Republican
standard Is selected. l have been surprised :,
hear the name Of our excellent Governor Chase
so often mentioned in connection with that i'm
portant office here. The business men, th,
moderate men, with one accord seem to think
that all considered, he is more likely to be ou
nominee than any other; though others are no
| forgotten Gov. Chase has made strong i'm
preston throughout this section Of country OF
the public, that he is not only very able man
able politician, but also that he is a very availa
BILE man, as one on whom the various element
Of the opposition to the present powers cal
unite without sacrifice of past principle, AM
| unite cheerfully and fraternally. lie has pu
his impress on the public mind of this great ma
ton in all its length aud breadth, at any rate
let the nominee Of 1860 by the Republican par
ty be who it may.
Gov Seward will undoub 'edly be the frs
choice OF this State, as he deserves to be, 70
his long and able political services in the Stat
aud Nation at large. Tce-e is no jealousy be
tween the respective friends of these distin
guishtd men, to cause any feud or alarm of th
Republican party feeling to be a unit at tn
proper time.

AIIirntorn and Negroes.

10 one of his speeches, made a few months
since in Tennessee, Mr.. douglas said, that
where .er il was a question between the white
man and the negro, he was for the white man;
but that wherever it was a question bet
ween the alligator and the negro, he was for
the negro.
This lowering oftono, on the part of the most
thorough paced Northern partisan of negro
slavery, is significant of change Of eircumstan-
ces and Of new tactics
The lowering OF tone is most marked. 1t is
only FIVE years ago that Mr.. Douglas led of
in the movement TO throw Kansas open to Sla-
very, and in Kansas, nobody doubts that it was
question between the negro and the white
man, since nobody doubts, or ever doubted, that
Kansas is perfectly adap ed 10 the occupation
| OF the white man. Only five years ago, then,
Mr.. Douglas was for the negro against the
world, whereas he is for him now only against
the slligotor. And indeed, it is within lees
than five years that Mr.. Douglas was for the
negro against the white man. Nobody support.
ed more thoroughly and zealously than he did
all the Border-lsutiian outrages of 1855 and 1856
and all the tyranny of the Pierce Administra.
ton down on the Sd day of March, 1857, and
all the while nobody understood better than he
did, that those outrages and that tyranny had
but the single object of planting the negro in
Kansas in preference TO the white man. We
lDiH suJdue youl" This was the language ad-
dressed to the white men of the North by Mr.,
Douglas, from his place in the Senate, where
he stood up, day after day, drunken with fero-
city, to eiTectuate that gift of Slavery, which
was the sole object of the repeal of the Mis-
souri, Com promise. Mr.. Doua las hinched from
nothing, so long as any question between the
white man and the negro IN Kansas remained.
II was only after the white man had trumphed
in Kansas over the utmost efforts of Nj Doug
las and of his Southern allies, that he refused,
under the imminenee of his own re election to
the Senate, to become a party TO the pIepos-
terous Lecompton policy Of Mr.. Buchanan.
1t was only after Slavery ceased to have any
real interest in Kansas, that Mr.. Douglas sound
ed retreat from vain struggle, and he has
long since satisfied his associates that his re,
treat was dictated by necessary prudence, and
not by any want of fidelity to the cause.
This new line of tactics, more dangerous than
that which dictated the attempt upon Kansas
because falling in with popular prejudice, tina
the white man cannot labor within the tropics
is the line of tactics, not merely of Mr.. Douglas
but Of the whole Southern oaba The contest
for the temperate latitudes is given up, and the
order of battle now is an advance upon Mexico
