Leach's Perpetual Motion.

Our readers Will reeollect some notice tax
en- in these columns about year siace of
small machine exhibited through the coun-
try, which It's inventor claimed to contain
the principle Of ssit-motion. or perpetual
movement. The machine was a metallic
wheel with a system OF cords and falling
balls suspended 10 the arms OF the wheel,
which was supported on 4 thick base of
wood. 1t turns ont that the affair IS q very
ingenious deception. The base or platform
contains a system OF clock-work, with q
spring running up to the axis through one
of the standards supporting the wheel
When wound up il would run some twelve
! hours.
The inventor of this wonderful perpetual
motion is said 10 have made quite a sum by
humbugging persons and then imparting the
secret. OF course parties who have invested
are anxious TO get their money back by sale
or exhibition. and Fave had motive in keep
ing his secret.
We hear of two very respectable and
highly moral gentlemen OF Sherbrooke who
have small interest in The affair. The ex-
posure of the cheat was made by an honest
German pediar, who proposes to bring tht
, matter before the coart.-StGRSioad Journal

The Vote of the Soldiers.

Nearly one hundred soldiers, probably,
voted in Burlington yesterday, and it is safe
to say that nine-tenths of them voted the
Union ticket. They did so, toe, with per-
feet understanding Of what they were about,
and an appreciation of the issue which it
was cheering to see. With very few exeep-
tions, appeals 10 the Democrats among them
TO stand by their old party, and not 10 go
back on little Mac" had no more effect on
them. than the wiEd. As one Of them,
wounded IN one of the recent battles, came
limping up the steps Of the Town Hall, de-
mOcra,ic ticket vender thrust the cOpperhead
State ticket into his hand. He took the
vote, looked al il Very deliheratel Y, and then
With a dry emphasis which added greatly to
the effect of his words, said What a --
fuoi should be, 10 60 down and fight rebels
FOR three years, with my muoaot, and then
come here 10 stab myself Ia the back with a
piece of paper like that No"-throwing

Treatment Of Prisoners.

III. The Union Platform exhorts the
Government 70 prosecute the war vigorously
thl the rebellion shall be suppressed-no
iorther. The Democratic Platform poir Is
significantly to the fact that the rebellion
mas moi yet been Suppressed, deducing there
irom the conclusion that il was a mistake TO
attempt resisting rebel force by force.
~. The Union Platform affirms that ss
slavery was the cause and now constitutes
the strength of the rebellion, il ought, in the
interest of public tranquility and safety, TO
be abolished and prohibited. The Demo-
cratic Platform says nothing of the sort, but
plainly implies anc intends that slavery shall
be preserved and perpetuated.
V. The Union Platform holds it right that
black as we'll as white men should fight for
the preservation of The Union, and be protec-
ted by the Government in so doing. The
Democratic is silent on this point; but, since
II wishes the War stopped anyhow, If of
course doesn't want niggers TO fight in
it.
VI. The Union Platform returns the
thanks OF the American people TO the soldiers
and sailors who have fought for their eoun-
try, and promises ample provision for those
who have been or may be disabled in her ser
vice. The Democratic Platform profFers
them sympathy and protection, but never
intimates that they have been and are fight
ing in righteous and holy cause.
VII. The Democratic Platform blames
President Lincoln and his cabinet for almost
everything they have done in resistance TO
the rebellion, but blameS the rebels for moth
ing. Even the eruelties of the rebel author
tiles. in causing our captured brethren to be
exposed, for weary months, unsheltered, to
the burning suns and drenching storms of
Georgia. feeding them on twelve ounces of
corn meal and two of putrid pork per day,
is charged against our own Government,
without hint that the rebels have done any
thing wrong in tie premises.
In short, if Mr. jeff Davis had been

derly nor his enterprise more gingerly than
they have been in the actual Platform Tfib-
