exceedingly all the Republican papers exult

The truth is the Republicans are WELDING
their utmost strength to strengthen the

party is playing into their hands. They en-

accept the aid given them by the Breckin.
ridge party in the election of Lincoln. little
caring perhaps whether the Union shall be
dissolved in consequence of such election or
not for they are perfectly satisfied in their

would involve the destruction of the institu-

The Republican party exults in the Breek

Bur, SIR, TIE CoALITIoN, TUE CoALrTIoN =
The Telegraph reports that there is prob
able Coalition between the Douglas Dem
ocrats and the Republicans of Oregon, to
elect Col Baker and some one else IT, s. Sen.
ators. The Breckinridgers in the State Sen
ate, true to their seeding natures and habits,
have bolted in order, if possible, to prevent
it. An attempt will also be made, it is said,
to break quorum in the Honse, aud thus pre-
vent joint Convention. This last named
effort, it is thought, will not succeed, owing
to an insuiiieiency Of strength on the part of
the would be boilers The failure or refusal
of quorum in the Senate to pass resolutions
to 60 into Joint Convention will not prevent
the Convention, for there remains the well
known precedent in the Convention which
elected the Indiana Senators, Fitch and
Bright Notwithstanding the majority of the
upper House absolutely refused to go into
Joint Convention. The Convention which
elected Bright and Fitch, if we recollect a
right, was composed of the members of the
AO"Si HVu0o anu sucu ultInUeF5 OF the senate
as chose to go into Convention on their own
individual responsibility. Nevertheless they
were admitted TO seats in the United State
Senate.


We expect now to hear great howl from
the Breckenridge sheets in reference to this
cotJectured coalition. We have nothing to
say as to the merits of the coalition but we
humbly conceive that, after the coalition of
the Breckinridgers with their avowed enc
mics in order to effect local results, it is not
for them to be rerymuch Mortified at any cir
eumstanee of the kind. If they can afford to
commit the same "henous offence" they
certainly ought to have little consideration
for others who may chance to be found in the
like category.


However it remains TO be seen whether
there is any foundation for the rumor of n co,
aliton.

seems to be much distressed, regarding the
position of the Douglas and johnson candi-

mind of our neighbor, We would simply state
that every man of them is opposed TO the
Bulkhead All but Judge Barbour declared
themselves as so opposed, when they were
nominated, and Judge Barbour has since re-
peatedly declared that he is also opposed to
it, If he had thought of it, he would have
expressed bis opposition to it in the Conyen-
tion when he was nominated


The Express will have to hunt up some
other objection to our candidates. They are
all sound on the Bukhead, that is certain.

party segment, "caved" and back-slid under

for taking this step was, that che had voted

NEW INvENTIoN.--A Pittsburgh paper

of city railroad cars. The cars can be run
with more than ordinary speed, from six to
eight miles, with six hundred pounds of air.
L can be charged at one terminus, and run
both ways of one of our city railroads with
out recharging A miniature model is now
being used, and is decided success. 1t is run
by the force of compressed air, to be contain
ed in some fifty tubes, which are charged
from an air-pnmp of very great power. The
pipe runs lengthwise upon the top, under the
bottom and seats, and between each of the
windows of the cars, and the arrangement for
stopping and starting, the car is easible and
facile. The miniature though placed upon a
track around circle of only thirteen feet in
diameter, and of course encounteriug very
great friction, runs around the circle Il num-
ber of times with great rapidity, under a

and hence the reason appears why, If there Is
such a state of the lung tissue as is associated
with blood discharge, it is not unlikely that
this tendency existing also in the blood tissue
OF the nose, the discharge of the blood from the
nose becomes premonitory, and indicative Of
the diseased changes in the lungs. What an
admirable contriyance is it that the discharge
OF blood should thus be exhibited in connection
with the nose, since here the blood escapes ex.
teriorly; whereas, if taking place in the tissue
OF the lungs, suffocation, an asphyxia of the
lungs would be caused. This nose bleeding
gives notice, which, if homeopathically at.
tended to, would prevent, in the majority Of
cases, any further development of the lung
disease. 1t is nature giving warning, and the
