THE PELTON TRIPLE GEAR
HORSE POWER.

I1ONSE ION EN,
"IlEN well made, has never failed to
w render satisfaction to purchasers. 1t
may, therefore, be put down as an established
fact that in all cases where the Power has
broken or worn rapidly, that the fact was IN
the manufacture, and not in the principle of
the Power. To any one not familiar with
the mechanism, one Pelton Power looks like
another; one, though it looks strong and
heavy, breaks, while another, properly made,
though light, cannot be broken. That no
Farmer shall have to rely on his own judg.
mcnt entirely in purchasing, we say to all if
You buy Power Of our make and 1t is broken
by fair usage during the first season, We will
repair it without charge. If it fails to render
satisfaction when operated according to plain
printed instructions furnished with the
machine, it may he returned. With this dis
tnctIy understood anything We might say
in praise Of the Power would seem like
wasting words.
The TIIRASTIER is one of uncommon
strength and Durability, being driven 10y rod
and gearing, doing away with the belt en-.
trcly, thus saving mnch power. and rcIuir-
ing but very little skill in setting the machine.
Persons wishing Il machine OF this kind. or

sample machine and get any information

ArrIvaGostg,e Steamship Asia.


NEw York, March 16.-The steamship
Asia arrived from Liverpool this morning
at 9 o'clock, with Liver pool and London
advices of the 81 inst. Her advices are
anticipated by the Circassian at St. Johns.
On the I'd inst, in the House of Com
mons, Lord John Russell explained the
Savoy question. He said, as far as he
knew, no treaty was in existence between
France and Sardinia providing for the an
nexation. The Emperor states that he
will not proceed to the annexation without
consulting the great powers, aud he Iord
john RuSsell) believed if the powers were
unanimously opposed to the movement,
France would not proceed to attempt it.
Sir Robert Peel declared that the stats-
ment of Lord John Russell was highly un
satisfactory, and hoped Parliament would
have an early opportunity Of discussing
the subject.
Mr.. Bright hoped that the government
would neither countenance or oppose the
transfer, it being matter over which
they had no control or any real interest
After further remarks by Lord John
Russell, in which he deprecated discussion,
the matter was dropped.
Lord Palmerston, in reply to an inquiry,
said he had received a memorial from Irish
Catholics requesting his interference in
maintaining the integrity of the Papal do
minions.
English papers publish an appeal to
Christians throughout the world, signed
by colored exiles from Arkansas, who pro-
testin the strongest terms against the sys-

The English papers generally regard
Napoleon's speech to the Legislative AS

KAwHIDING YOUNG LADIES IN School.
The Kenosha Times gives an account
of the rawhiding of ayoung lady in a
school in Kenosha. The teachers name
is Pope. The pupil is young lady Is
years of age, daughter of E, +. Morris OF
that city, The Times says:
We understand that it appeared in evil
dence that the girl was logged across the
back and bare neck with a rswhide, some
five or six strokes being given, drawing
blood, all for the offence of chewing gum.
The Times goes on to state the master
had been arrested for the offence, but the
jury did not agree j.!
Know We every body, that the people OF
Kenosha can shed more crocodile tears
over the suiferings Of the poor slaves, can
howl louder over bleeding Kansas and
make more fuss over Old Brown, than can
thepeople ofany other section Of the State
Yet it seems they deem the tlogging OF
white girl 10 years of age compare
lively mild offence.
Had that scoundrely teacher laid those
blows across the shoulders of negro girl
Of that age, in that city, his life would have
paid the forfeit ere now, and the girl would
be held up az colorsd goddess, but she
wss only a white girl, and, therefore, moi
worth deifying.- West Bend Dan.

President Buchanan.

At the Inauguration Of the statue of
WAsHISGTox on the 220d of Feb, Mr..
BUCHANAN delivered the following appro-
pirate and eloquent address:
FELLOW CITIZENS i accept the au.
spicious omen now presented 10 us in this
calm sunset almost without cloud. The
early part of the day was boisterous.-
Many accidents also occurred to delay the
progress and completion cf these ceremo-
uies. Bat these occurrences have termin-
ated as, thank God, always has been the
case in the history Of our country. If
storms and tempests beset US in the morn
ing, the end Of the day is still, clear, bright
and animating. Such, | trust will ever be
the issue Of the gloom and darkness that
for season appears to envelop US. Zap
plause) The honorable and important
duty has been assigned to me of defeating
this statue of Washington, which is no
BILE production of native American genius.
This welcome and grateful task now pro-
coed to perform. Standing here on this
beautiful and commanding position, sur
rounded by the Senators and Representa-
tiyes Of all the States of the confederacv.
and by vast assemblage Of our fellow cit
liens, civil and military, and in full view
OF the noble Potomac, which Washington
loved so we'll, and of the shores of the all
Gent Commonwealth which gave him birth
| now solemnly dedicate this statue to the
immortal memory of the Father of his
CoLntry. (Applause) | perform this
act Of pious devotion, not in the name of
the people of the North or Of the South,
the East or the Wcst-not in the name of
those who dwell on the waters of the At
lantic, or Of the Pacifc-but in the name
of the whole American people of the Unit
ed States, one and indiy:ziJIa, now and for
ever. loud applause and cries of, "Hur-
rah for old Buck May the God of our
fathers preserve the Constitution and the
UMen for ages yet to come. May they
stand like the everlasting hills, against
which the tempests from every quarter of
the heavens shall beat in vain. In a word
may they endure so long as the name Of
Washington shall be honored and cherish
ed among the sons Of men. (Renewed,
and prolonged applause) May Washing
ton City, which he founded, continue
throughout many many generations to be
the seat Of government Of great, power
ful and united confederauE~ Should it
ever become a ruin by the dissolution Of
the Union, it viii not, like the ruins Of
Balbeck and Palmyra, be merely monu-
ment Of the vanity Of human greatness :;
but it will teach the lesson to all the
dwel!ers upon earth that our grand politi-
cal experiment has failed, and that man is
incapable Of self government. May such
direful disaster to the human race be
averted and in the language Of Solomon at
the dedication oftheJewiah temple, "May
the Lord our God be with Us, as lie was
with our fathers. Let Him not leave us
or forsake u.s." (AppIause.) May this be
the prayer of all present, and may each
one return to his home in heart more pat
riotic and more determined to do his whole
duty to God and his country than when
we assembled here to day."

Our NATloNAL CoNvENTIoN--The
Charleston Convention will vote by States
each State casting as many votes as in
the electoral college; but by resolution
adopted at Cincinnati, the Convention will
be composed of twice as many delegates as
voters. Classified into free and slave
States, the former will send 500, against
$40 from the latter. Besides these, the
members of the National Democratic ex-
ecutive committee have seats on the floor
of the Convention, but 70 votes. They
are thirty-three in number. Moreover, it
is customary to admit distinguished mem
bsrs of the party to the floor Of the house
as n courtesy; so that the Convention will
be composed of about $50 mombers.
