Gov Taylor was re~nOminatsd' The
same excitement and like passions
and predudices prevailed. A very
large majority Of the delegates in $50
wanted to nominate Andrew Ewing
now dead, but at that tiae a ster.
ling Democrat and extremely pop
ular all over the State. But he was
in some way or other committed
through George w. Jones TO Mr.,
Johnson and refused to allow his
name used This only Snragsd the
Ewing men against johnson and
they were determined that he should
not be nominated, because of his re-
fusal to ralease Mr.. Ewing frem his
pledge. At that time although
Mr., Jshnssn had been In Congress
for ten years trOm the first district
but little was known of him in Mid
die or West Tennessee. His dis
trict hail been "gerrYmandersd or
as he called it, "hsnrYmandsred'',
so that it had become q Wing dis

impossible. This being SO, George

great power in Tennessee, detsrIain-
ed that johnson shO uld be Gov

E wing committed. This he did the
more easily for the reason that Ew-
ing thought that Johnson haG bee n
badly treated by the preceding
Wing Legislature az we'll tor the
reason that he did not want the

cape, and thus permit the massive block
of iron rapidly to descend by its own
gravity upon the work then on the anvil.
Thus, by more or less rapid manner in
which the attendent allows the steam 20
enter or escape from the cylinder, any re-
quired number or any intensity of blows
could be delivered"
One % the first uses TO which the steam
hammer was put was that of the driving
of piles. There were many mechanics
who did not believe that it would drive
piles faster or better than was
done by the old method. So Nasrayth
resolved to have match between his
steam hammer and the ordinary pile
driver. Two immense logs were selected,
and the two machines bsgan work at the
same moment. The result was that while
it took the old fashioned machine twelve
hours to drive its log to the proper depth,
the steam-hammer had flushed its task
in four and half minutes.
The invention of the steam hammer not
only made Nasmyth famous wherever IN
the world the mechanic arts are practiceG,
bus added quickly and largely to his
worldly wealth. He was only 81 years of
age, and had already achieved great life
work.
