Troes that - iine: correspond • eiactly v.ith the'North line of the ,State of Virginia; , for instance? If not, then' eitlier the people, of Virginia are violating the Almighty's or- . dinance, as expounded by the Illinois Senator, by, maintaining Slavery up to the Northern bound'of the State r or the people -of Penh sylvania are committing',sin by , excluding Slavery. But how is this exact line estab ' lished by,the Almighty, to - be ascertained ? The Senator tells you—"lt is a mere ques tion of dollars and emits." - So it Is . to be di coveredby ciphering. A body -of emi grating-Yankees, pious- e;nOugh to wish to do the v4ll of God, and pretty expert'in figures, cotning upon one.of those fertile valleys o the West as yet unoccupied by man, can sit down and-eipher out the problem of whether it is the 'will of , --the Almighty that that val-, ley shall be cultivated by ,Freemen or -by Shi , ';' , es. - If it should appear that, at least while the virgin richness of the soil contin uesoand with the free application'. of the lash ; more Money could ibe made by the..rich pro ' prietor4, by einployling unpaid than paid,half-• clad than well clad, ignorant - than _educated, ,--Slave than Free, laborers, and *the Yon _ keel aforesaid should happen to have eonsci entious sei - uples against holding their brother Ili man in slavery and living on the fruits of ,unpaid labor,tben, as dutiful children of Him who laid down the " isothermal line" that separates the realm of freedom, from that of slavery, they must move on to soule ideolder and more barren spot not too good to be cul tivated by freemen. - Like those Southern , politicians who tell us that Slavery is a, blessed institution sanc tioned" by the Bible, Senator Douglas brings religion into politics, and bases the claims of Slavery to sthe possession' - of all Territory south 'of the "isothermal line" on the- fiat of thAJmighty: No doubt if he believed that Slavery:conld not exiet-anywheie but in vio lation of God's law, he would .oppose its ex - tension in the Territories, as much as any black:Repablican," But he believes th_g_,_ Slavery is right—morally right—right by irrepealable law of lleaven---South of a cer tain line, while - Freedom is -just as right North of it.' lt,would appear to be -a-- very . _ important question, in-a moral point of view, to ascertain where this line runs through the country, so that those of our- fellow-citizens who-'are violating God's laws by holding slaves too far North, or by doing their own wOrit.too fin. South, May be able to set their error, and 'repent and reform.

Inside, and at the bottom of the cylin der, is an immovable platform, on the cen tre of. which stands a shaft running through. the longitudinal centre of the cylinder to any requisite height. _.On the platform, are three. wheels, (of twelve cogs .each,) - at equal distances from each other, which:work , into the cogs of the cylinder. The axes of these wheels are sta tionary. Another wheel of the same size, called'the pinion, is at the centre, which is driven by the three wheels just described, and necessarily confined in its place by them.— This wheel, as will be apprehended, is pierced by the miiin shaft,, and plays freely around it. • Attached to the pinion at thOop, is a rim, denominated by the inventor the plate, whose diameter is something less tlan two feet, and which revolves with the pinion, immediately above the se; of.wheels, and clear of the cyl , hider. On this plate arc three more wheels fix. 'ed to it, and which revolve wish 'it. 'These three wheels also work into the cylinder, dri. ming another pinion in the - Centre. This pin ion has another plate, on which is another analogous system of wheels: • Thus, we observe, that the cylinder is di vided into three chambers, - each containing its own system, yet all connected. They make up, literally, an asee.n ing series, which might be continued indefuti .I) , `, The 'velocity of each pinion increasing i a kind of geocm etrical ratio, and the wh e making up a combination of " wheels wi in'wheels," that according to the inventor a dilose now using it, saves one third of theer usually em ployed in 'propelling ruachi ery, such as saw lug machines, thrashing machines, &c.

As a means of improvement during these long Winter evenings, we have a flourishing singing school, now in successful progress.— It is held at Barnum's ball-room—about the best use to which such a room can be put.— Though there ! is little music in me, I am a constant attendant, far the good of the cause. and always beat the time most industriously singing, • whenever enough others do to drown my voice. We met last night, and among the exercises, the teacher called for two vol unteers to stand up, and sing this couplet : • " Here far go—to and fro, Over the ice, and through the HIM" The fellow who sat next to me was a ;big six-footer, and had been a singer from id:in ce, and I thought that, though badly mat - sd, both of us together would make a whole team.

Now, the sound of my own voice, singing alone, always did frighten Ime, but here_ there was no back ing out. I must have broken the " ice" the first time round, (though I had no - idea of hitting it hard enough for that,) fur when I came, the s e cond time, to the second line, I went threqh the " ice" instead ,of over it, and do'svn t 4 my seat—big-six was singing a solo, and I so-low I The scholars enjoyed it, and were MI roars Of laughter, but the teach er kindly agsured me that they did not do it to make fu --it was only because they . couldn't hel p it.

This result is pentliatly gratifying, just as a Congftss Meets. It will find its way into the White Braise, and will titll.n.ore heavily on the spirits of the President's et ungellors than even the November elections.

A Frank Southern Gentleman The Hon. A. G. Brown. Senator from Mis sissippi, lately made-a speech to his constitu entsat a place called Haztehurst, in which he delivered himself to the free and enlightened gentlemen of Mlssisippi, of the following happy conception : • " That Slavery is ° a blessing-to the master is shown by -simply contrasting a Southern teqtleman with a Northern abolitionist.— Oneis courageous, high-bred. and manly.— The' Otheris cowardly, low-flung and sneak ing." Of-course:Gov. Brown himself is a cour ageous., high-bred ,and Manly Southern gen. tleman. The plain and blunt but gentleman ly language he uses is at once an evidence and illustration of that fact. Further on in this speech this modern Southern gentleman said : . " I want Cuba, and I know that sooner or later we must haVe `it; if the worm-eaten throne of Spain is willing to give it up-for a fair equivalent; if not, we-must take it. I want Tamaulipas, Potosi, and one or- - two other Mexican Stakes ; and I want them all for the same reason—for the pla4tiiig and spreading of slavery." Well, that is frank s anyhow, and we be lieve it is true. No one can charge Mr. Sen ator Brown - with beating about the bush.— He blurts out his wants and his objects with a distinetneis that cannot be mistaken. He is a candidate, it is said, for the Presidential nomination at Charleston. We hope he may get-it. We go for Browa. The chivalric, high-bred, courageous, ,manly, plain-spoken Brown would be immensely popular anton'g the "cowardly, low-flung, and sneaking, peo ple", of the North. Hurrah for Brown !

Seinsrirtc.,The usually grave and dis- 1 cieet Scientific American of last week opens its editorial page with a notice of the latest new idea for preventing the sad etTects cullisiuti on•railroads, which is to have a track laid along the tops of the cars, with in clined-tracks upon long cow-catchers placed at the front and rear of the train. The ap proaching train upon the same track, moving in whichever Direction, instead of coming in collision, would run up the inclined fracks, pass safely over • the tops - of the cars that stood in the way, and down upon the main track in the twinkling of an eye. Neither the inventor nor the Scientific American in forms us what would be the consequences of a collision between two approaching trains, each having the " new idea" attached ; _we are !eft to speculate which would go over, or which would go under, or whether they wo'd not nth go ever, and under, and through. I.trtu TLY arils 1 BosTos.—A Boston letter writer . repor_ts that :unary , the pleasant things connected with the esta blishment e of the :Mantic Monthly is the Atlantic Club, composed of the contributors to that maga zinc, who meet once a month over one of Parker's best dinners, and enjoy • themselves in a way _becoMing modern Athenians.— " Some Inkling of the wit and wisdem which finds the daylight, around the club's ample mahogany, may be gathered_ from a mention of the naives of Emerson, Lowell, and Holmes, its constant' attendants upon its meetings." l— The writer adds: " Another re cently established clu b, , which also ! dines monthly, is the Adirondac, composed of members of that famous party which en camped last Summer among the Woody mountains of northern N e w York." CIVILIZATION AND PORK.-Iri the report of tbe Ohio-Stag Board of Agriculture, is the following remarkable passage:. " It is hoped that, as civilization progress es, pork,:as an article of diet., will fall into disuse; it rust be gratifying to every phil anthropist to learn that in Ohio there is *cer tainly a great decline in the use of it as , an article of , food." What effect the use of pork may have upon tile manners of a nation, we are not able to say ; but we have the authority : of an intelligent physician for asserting' that people who do not eat pork are troubled with serrofula. • Pr A valiant author has published a ' book in which he advocates the littlejob of converting the Arabian desert into an ocean.
