Gas Works. We spent a very pleasant hour, last Satur day evening, at the hospitable 'residence of our excellent townsman„ s HESRI f Dar:vast; examining a Gas apparatus which he has fitted up the past season. The apparat tukiswery simple, though of course somewhat en'the \ flan of the City Gm works. The Gas is generated from the oil of resin, A retort kik* in a sort of stare, which is heated red beat with coal. Into this retort the main is conducted slowly by a tube ; and the simple element of the beat decoiiiposes and generates the Gas froruthe oil. From the retort it is forced by .a pipe through consec- Salve cleansing baths it reaches the gas winter, a large tub inverted in' water. As the Gas is genemted the grisotneter,rises till it is filled. A pipe from this connects with the house underground, through which the Gas is forced by the iveighfmnf the gasometer, arid. is thug received in the burners. It can, of come, be conducted to any part ortbe - house, aid made to supply as many burners ; may, be desired. Tao gallons.. of oil, and If a bushel of coal, Mr. Drinker informs us; make sufficient as for hom ten , days to two weeks bunting. The oil costs eighteen pence per gallon. It will thus be seen that. the - light is much cheaper than fluid, oil, or can dies, in as ordinary family. Besides, it is much more brilliant, safe and -comfortable in eery respect. One burnei will light a room ''more brilliantly than a dozen cand!es. In deed, in thicresped, the Gas\ generated by this apparatus is far superior to the city Gas. It Intros with a clear, beautiful' flame, com pletely illatninating a room of anything like Ordinary sire. : : The cost of the apparatus is 'PAO, exclusive of putting it up drc.

And where was* Mr. Banks in this hour of trial I Was he spending his. precious time and energies in battling the "Slave Power," When he saw a fair prospectof uniting the north and south as a unit; on '}the Know Nothing platform, by virtue of its . third de ._ iree, ignoring the Slavery, question as unfit for the formation of 'political parties upon Fartherest from it possible. He ietunied. to Congress last wititer, and from' his seat in that body sett forth to the country an exposi tion of the position of hid party on the ques tion of Slavery. He declared that it did not and could not enter into i Consideration with the Order. They regarded the Cluestion with indifTerenc.., and asorie unfit to be agitated by a political party. He inveighed against sectionalism,"and sectional, parti&., and de clared that" Saga" would put an 'end t alt such traitors to their country as those, engag ed in theslavery controversy on both sides were. " Sam" was for the whole country. ihe Union as it is, and its institutions as they are. The American Organ, establighed by the Ord,erit.

Here then we find Mr. Banks only one year ago, in Congress, speaking to the coun try sentiments the most gratifying to the or gans of the Slave power, ignoring the guess tien of slavery and placing Know Nothing ism in the fore ground as the great question of the day, and -as a power the mission of which,smong other things, was to " crush . - out" the traitors ? north and South, who were disturbing the country: with slavery agitation.

His own rec ord shows him to be one of that class of men whose life-objeot is political power and the spoilt of office, reckless of the means of their attainment.: Utterly destitute of fixed prin ciples, he tritns his sails for every, varying breeze of popular favor or commotion. When the Democrats were triumphant be was a Democrat, wh en Know Nothingism swept it down hi was a Know Nothing, pure and un adulterated ; lead when Republicaniim bade fair to prostrate„ther Know NOthings, then was-he a Republican. IL was either a Know . Nothing from principle, or he is the worst kind of a demagogue,—a man who did not hesitate to swear allegiance to doctrines and to a patty, which he did not mean to keep. And, if a Know Nothing from prirteipte,his prdmions of universal freedom rest on a shallow foundation indeed. Nis freedom means, freedom for the negro, and slavery, in conscience as well ae body, for millions of his own race'and color! Bnt we are t01d,." be has now thrown Know Nothingiim to the winds." If this be true, it but weakens his claims to public con fidence as a public man, by showing; that he is too fickle, and too loosely grounded in principle, to be trusted in any responsible po sition. Torn hint which side tip we may,end he is either a Chattering, changing dema gogue, or his principles are totally repugnant to the institutions of the country. He has advocated the principles, and co-operated in the organizations of three distinct and oppo sing political parties in the•short space of two years, We submit to any candid mind, that such exhibitions of truckulence to the powers that be,--of changeful uncertain char— acter, should condem the pretentions of any man . to public' favor for responsible public places. It shows him to be a man utterly' regardless of the- means by which he obtains power. : Instead of relying upon the solid and intrinsic merits of his principles, and of his own character a's a man of stable intellect and courage, be seems one of the most des and most to be dreaded of all politi cians, whOse ideas of statemanship are meas ured by that low cunning, that acqUires pub lic position by a facility in accommodating itself to the popular commotions of the hour: Such men always talk loudly of humanity, philantln'opy, moral reform, patriotism, and the good of the people. They are self -sacri ficing men ; they take office because. the' Pres cut exigerief demands their services, and al ways have tin "'exigency" happen just at the time for a re-election. Whenever a distui 'lance in politics occurs, they are "betwixt and between" the parties till they see which is likely to be stongest. •Theo they are inva riably on the strong side, though to be so may require them to Change three times a year! And then when they bhange h is from no selfish motive. 0, no. • They leave their old assecintions and former principles with - regret, - but the'gTeat cause of humanity requires the sacrifice, and,generous souls,they lay themitelves a bleeding sacrifice upon the •altar of their country! . The tidy of the reign of these small great men is nearly at an end. The sikssion Of last winter put an end to them in the Legislatute of this State; and we most confidently belieVe that the present Session of Congress will put an end to them in the nation. - - BROOKLYN, Dec. 18, 18r.

Here we have enough and nineteen elec toral votes to spare, nothing of our chances (which are better than those ofany other par ty) for carrying NeW Hampshire, lowa and Michigan, with 15 eleeto.tal votes all togeth er. In New. York, at the late election, the democratic vote, hard and soft. exceeded that of any other organization, conclusively pro ving that our friends have the ability to car ry that State with its thirty five electoral votes But, granting that. State to the enemy, the Know Nothings have only carried with it the following States : Ketitac'ky, California; Now;land, - New York, liassaehuntts, The black republicans have succeeded in Ohio and Vermont, casting twenty eight,elec torsi votes. We have ' therefore, beaten both badfactions, even if they ad been united, hand somely, in the State elections of '1855, and have, altogether, the best chance for 1836. 1n the last six months the dethocrats have chosen no less than eight, and probably trine Goienons of States : Wise in Virginia; An drew Johnsolin.Tennessee; _Pease in Texas; Winston in - Alabarna; Wells in Maine; H.

Taking the lowest estimates of the deficien.: cy of grain in -England.and Erance„ . .the defic it' fur the two countries may be pelt down at filly-two million bushels.. AS this defieiency must be made up before the next harvest, the question arises ; whence are.these,supplies to come I 'lt has been ascertained that the crops of wheat ' and rye throughout the whole of North - Europe also are ,clefieient,' and es pecially in the. Baltic provinces, and the inte rior of Germany, where flour is at this mo ment selling at 70s. tier sack. In faCt the itriportations . of breaclstuffs ft otu these soitrees and nil others, exCePt.tbe United States, in : . cludinz Denmark, Sweden, Spain,' Portitgal,' Italy and Egypt, will hardly be sufficient to meet the &tit:ie.:icy - of 20,000.000; bushels in Fiance. Canada and the Baltic .pfovinctrs are nut to be relied on for more titan six or seven bushels, and Italy-from which the-ei portations of breadstliffs has, in fact,. been. pro- - hibited—together.:with, Rev tsgyproutt the - Prowl:ices of the. Danube, can scarcely do more than furnish the balance .of thirteen or fourteen millions, Of the deficit in France. Hence giving the surplus (mini the.se sources to 'France, there still. remains the - Vatt. uum in England 'raging from . - a' captchr of thirty -to fifty millions of bitshels, to fill: , For this supply the English can only look to the . United states ; and if tie supply:---say, , forty bushels—be obtained from this coun- - ry; we shall send more grain to' England than ' was exported in: wheat and flourto' all - parts; of the world during the year 1855.. . Our .ex portations (Or that year, amounted to less than twenty-nine millions bushels. The' quota ex= ported to England, according to the English' Board of Trade . returns,.Waa art average of 976,930 quarters, or less than eight' millibt; bushels . per annum, for the eight years Ifrom 134,5 to [353 inclusive. • . ; - Electoral Votes. 12 If then, as has been assurned,,, the from available surplus exported last year from Abe United States to .crew . 1 part of the' world filloidd be supplied - •to Etigland, there .- Of course will still remain'a deficit.
