the attention Of the republican senators
to the fact that they had throughout the

solely taking the ground of protecting

We invite the attention OF our Lex
ington readers to an article which we
reproduce this week from the Scientific
American, on the pontoon bridge at
Nebraska City.
That paper stands high as an author
ity upon mechanics, and its opinions
upon the subject are therefore valuable.
A perusal, and re-perusal of the
article will answer many OF the cavil-
ings of doubling Thomases who have
taken no pains to inform themselves.
This matter is no hobby with us /;
we have in it no pride either of posses.
sion or discovery, we have no interest
in it but that of the general public, and
it is no invention of ours, nor for that
matter of any one in particular. Pom
toon bridges in some shape or other
have been used for ages. The only
question here 10, will they aDswer the
conditions presented by the Missouri
river? This question seems, by all the
scientific authority obtainsble, to be
ia shs Affirmative. All that
