New MaterinI for Printers Types.
An ingenious invention called the mysia-
type has been recently brought to the atten-
ton of tho English Government by NJ. Com
barieu. The London Morning Star says of
it:
Hitherto the characters used in printing
have been composed of mixture Of lead
and antimony these characters, by reason Of
their extreme soitness, wear out quickly, and
are, besides, very expensive. The characters
are moulded one BY one. The best workmen
can scarcely produce Eve thousand Of them
a day in the rough. They have afterwards
to be finished up, and pass through several
hands. M. Combarieu, by an ingeniously in-
vented machine, produces ten thousand Of
| these characters at q stroke. Each letter is
then separated by mechanical saw, which
divides them by n mathematical regularity
and precision. The consequence of this in.
vention will be increased production /; exact
itude ynd regularity, hitherto unattainable;
the use of harder metal, which will avoid the
frequent renewal of printers materials; re-
duotion by one half of the outlay; and at
length the one great object-an increase in
printing, and an enormous diminution in the
price of books! Look now through the vista
Of approaching years and behold the glorious
result NJ. Cambarieu announces his inten-
| ton Of producing characters on steel, the du-
rability of which will be beyond calculation.

lFrom the Mt. Pleasant Republican News.1
That infallible and lily white party which
met at Des Moines on the 23d of June last,
and which originates 80 many new doctrines,
has ina ugurated a new number into the cal
endar. In order that they might carry this
State "by hook or by crook, !" they undertook
to produce a charm, compared to which the
s.hell brotho compounded by Shakspeare's
Three Witches would be respectable turtle
soup! They knew that the number five was
what the mathematicians call mean number
between three and seven, and, that of itself,
gave character to the number with them.--
But there was some slight use of the number
that gave additional weight with them, name
ly, the place in New York called the "Five
Points - and the FIVE points in the game the
gamblers call Euchre and then, the mysteri
Gus creation of fifth leg in u calf-simply
by calling the tail leg-declded them. So
they passed FIVE resolutions on what they ia
cetiously called State policy particularly
and exclusively devoted to the 269 negroes of
this Stato--to only 269 men, women and ba-
bies-not as many as there was delegates.
In these FIVE sounding resolutions, the few
negroes and their unfortunate children are
stuck upon the spit, and turned up, and turned
down, and turned over, and made the subject
of many sage reflections, in relation to the
future of Iowa, while the great, wise and
maguanimous Democracy stand off in their
long white robes, and turn up their noses ut
the smell they imagine they have stirred up
while they still hold out the negro at arm
length, and sing in unison the song OF the
five resolutions. No matter how intelligent
the fifty families of colored persons in this
State may be: no matter how quiet, and 60
Der, and industrious, they are no matter If
they wish to educate, and do educate their
children and no matter If the school fund
costs US nothing, but is generous fift from
the Government no matter If the negroes
property is taxed as epy one else's--yet this
clean party, which hns kept itself unspotted
from the world, proposes to have the SOC, 900
whites wage war on the 900 negroes, that
is over 1000 to one negro, and to keep him
in ignorance, and to expel him, and to pass
laws to prevent his immigration.
The truth is, the negro is not voter. and
probably will not be soon, and would not be
Democratic one if he were. Consequently,
as the Democratic party has lost all its re
gard for human liberty, and the inalienable
rights of man, and has come to believe with
Mr.. Douglas that the Declaration of Inde-
pendence is not true, they have no use for
the negro, except to use him in their plat
forms to excite the prcjudices Of the igno-
rant. He answere u very good purpose to
be put in their cauldron to increase the
strength Of the charm, as the witch said,
'Cool 1T with bsboon's blood,
Then he charm is firm and good"

Forney thinks that the supporters Of Hu-
ohanan have NO right to find fault with Wise's
letter, for the reason that the President has
often been guilty OF more henious offences
against political morals, than any contem
plated in this unfortunate epistle. The gov
eminent organ, in condemning Wise's letter,
uses very severe language, which the editor
of the Press says reminds him Of "Satan re-
proving SIM" Forney then proceeds in this
style:
SEVEN if his letter does afford cause for
censurc, it is not as unworthy and Disgrace
full as If it had contained pharsaicai and hy-
pocritical professions and assurances like
those Of Buchanan in 1876 and '56, that
he had no aspirations himself for the Presi-
dency, and would cheerfully support Gen.
Pierce for reelection, and that his purpose
was fixed to return home and GO into retire
ment, and close career, which had been
somewhat stormy, in peace and quiet, and
had no idea Of being, nor any wish to be, a
candidate for the Presidency or like his re-
cent carefully framed declinaticn In the Bed
ford Gasette and other papers, and in bis
M'Candless telegraph epistle Of the 10th ult.,
mot to become a candidate for reelection
&c. The people will recollect, too, his cele-
brated Pacific Railroad letter, sent to Cali
lufhia lust uoiofc WIG oiectloH VI louV5 anu
kept secret on this side of the continent
They will call to mind, also, his Squatter
Sovereignty letters Of 1856, written to pro-
mote his election, and the numerous other
eleotoneering documents from his pen, and
his speeches made with the same object and
they win not forget that he has falsiaed all
his pledges and professions SO made. Re-
membering these things, they will be likely
to make a proper and just application of the
terms political morality and sprofigate
disregard Of consistency and patriotism SO
lmprudentIy employed q tho organ. II the

This is one of the most comprehensive and
brilliant productions which has been given to
the public on the subject of the Bonapartes.
For the general reader it is the most useful
and interesting, because it is impartial, au-
thentic, and groups all the figures in the pic
ture of that iIlustrious family which has held
the world in awe and admiration for more
than sixty years, in such compass and style,
as to present them all ct a single view
Enough space is given TO the great central
luminary of the family 10 exhibit his entire
career and character in strong relief The
narrative Of events is terse, clear. full and
accurate. The profound and philosophical
insight of the writer into the relations OF
cause and effect, manifested in the stately
march of history, gives to the work singular
interest. No book has fallen into our hands
in the perusal of which we have experienced
greater satisfaction.

cotton, some of il of excellent quality, hut
which, although il passed readily from the
