Senator Wade, of Ohio, is reported as
saying that "there is more sound argument in
an eleven inch Coumbiad than in all the Senate
speeches ever published" If Mr.. Wade ever
said so, the more shame for him. The proud
est boast of our fathers, and, until lately, the
] proudest boast of their children has been, that
while all other governments in the world were
f sustained by force, ours s:the bright example of
all time" rested on the consent of the governed.
Does the government at Washington openly
avow to the world the failure of the american
p government of consent" the argument of rea-
son, and substitution of the European 'sgov-
ern1ment Of force" and 'the argument of the
Columbiad ?" If it does, the world will see that
the american principle" has as determined, as
heroic and as successful defenders now, as in
1776.-Ale1ond1i0 Gazette.
n@ The Centrifugal Steam Gun, the inven-
ton of Mr.. Charles Dickerson, was captured on
Friday last, near Ellecotts Mills, by detaeh.
TUG Drassaun uScClS t1oops -ssationed al
the Relay House. On Saturday trial of this
gun was to have been made in the presence o
the troops; but it seems they were disappointed
as we learn from the Sun that some very mate
rial and indispensable parts of the machinery
> were found wanting, and the steam gun, that
all had come to look upon as death-dealing
6 engine, stood as harmless as an old barn fan
1t now turns out that the inventor, who was
not taken with the gun, had with him in bug
gy, short distance off, all the important parts
of the machinery used in the working of the
gun, and escaped with them by driving rapidly
away.
