for Canal: Commissioner, all or whom aro strap•

earnestly hope, however, that the State Convention
will calmly and deliberately 'weigh the claims or the

, vidual who will be able to secure the largest num
ber of votes, and enlist the party enthusiastically in
his support, s h ould be placed in nomination. - Every .

; promptly. All cliques and factions must be repudi

;in the support of the successful candidate fur Canal
Commissioner, when,fairly nom mated, should be
'considered and treatd es enemies to tbe Demo

As to namizatione for County officers and mem
bers of the .Legislature, the Democracy cannot be
too careful. W'n.had a mite of whiggery atlisi ,
risburgh last winter. If the proper efforts are nil&
we can secure a large majority in the Legislature,
which will leave the admiffistration of Gov. Johnston
perfectly powerless. In several counties, hereto
fore, our friends have permitted themselves to be
defeated, by foolishly and unnecessarily running
two eels of candidates. This is worse than madnees;
and should bo avoided hereafter.
PENNSYLVANIA DIUSi BE REDEEMED! Is there a
single Democrat in the state who will not respond
to this declaratioa ? We think not. Then let our

The "Star of the North," a spirited Democratic
paper, published - at Bloomsburg, Columbia county,
has an editorial article in favor of holding the State
Convention in IMO at that place. After speaking of
the steadfast attachment to Democratic principles on
the part of the people of that section of the State, the
Editor concludes: .
" We say then if the next Convention is to be held
in the Ninth, it should be in Bloomsburg. Our town
is pleasant and agreeable for a 'sojourn, and is easy
of access from every part of the Slate. It is a heal
thy location, and can furnish every desirable con
venience for a convention. And then it is only 16

TEE &MIZE AT EASTON, among the 'boatmen,
still continues, with no prospect or a resumption of

to get the Governor to send a military force to bring
the boatmen to terms. •
Mir We clip the above rpm a Philadelphia pa
per. It exhibits, tat a glance, the base hypocricy of
federal whiggery.. Before the last state and presi
dential elections, the boatmen in the neighborhood
of Easton, were promised an increase of wages, by
the wbig leaders, to induce them to vote for Gov.
Johnson and Gen. Taylor. As soon as the election
was over, however, the whigs posititively declined
fulfilling their promises. The boatmen quit work,
nod struck for higher wages. Difficultiee ensued,
and there was some fights and riots. The Sheriff
and his posse were unable to restore order. Now,
it seems, efforts are made to induce the Governor of
Pennsylvania to send a military force to shoot down '
the very boatmen who voted fur him I This is a
rich specimen of federalism—is it not

AGENTLEICIAN .COWII/IiED HT A J./ae—There
was an excitement produced at Woodward High
School, yesterday, that beggars description—one
of those extraordinary occurrences happening in
the school room, which occur but once in a life
time in any place. The circumstances appear to
be as follows:—A Professor in the Woodward High
School, named Singer, a sprig of English aritita.
'crony, but hailing from Dublin last, has been an
inmate of widow Texford's boarding house, on
George street, for several months. Lately widow
T. heard, in different ways, that said Singer bad
spoken against her morality—yes, had even gone
so far as to boast of having crim. con with her.—
The story was traced, beyond doubt, to the rascal
—for a man who will slander a lady is nothing
else=and the widow, who frequents and is wel
comed in the best society of Cincinnati, lost no
time in seeking for redress. She went to the law
office of Col. Piatt, yesterday, but he was obliged
to be absent on business. His partner, Mr. Smith
however accompained the lady, after consultation,
to Woodward High School, she having first pro
cured a cowhide, and concealed it under her cloak
it having been made known to her that said Sing.
er was worthless.
airs. Tuxford approached the said professor, who
was teaching several boys in one of the rooms,
and hewn charged with the slander of the lady,
and she, in an instant, was playing the cowhide to
the fellow's back. In short, amidst a confusion
that cannot be described, the puppy received a
terrible flogging with the cowhide in the hands of
Mrs. Tuxford. All was over before Prof. Rey and
Beggs arived, whom the boys in Singer's class ran
for at the outset.
Singer gave to Mrs. Turford's attorney, Mr.
Smith, the lie, and Mr. S. knocked him down which
was the finale to the whole affair, and the parties
left for their homes. Mr. Smith informed us that
he knew nothing of what was to be done until he
was in the melee, and he did right in protecting
the lady. The excitement among the students of
Woodward College is said to have exceeded any
thing bappeningAvitlifn the knowledge the oldest
inhabitant. Mrs. Tuxford is an estimable lady,
and - we applaud her spunk. After she bad chas.
tised the fellow, she Indignantly threw the cow
hide at hie feet, saying: "Take that home as a tro
phy, and say to your friends, that an injured lady,
alter using it on your back, head and face made
it a present to you." Such a scene, at such a time
and for such a cause, had never been witnessed in
our city before. It is but proper to say that the
Woodward High School should not suffer in its
'landing from the bad acts of one of its Professors.

' Addrems of the Governor of Blaine.
The message of Gov Dana to the Maine legis
lature. is a well written document. Concerning
the question of slavery in the new territories, the
governor reiterates his view that they must forever
remain free.unless slavery be established there by
act-of congress,- and that-therefore they are in no
more danger of being overrun by slavery than
Maine is, • •
"A congressional prohibition of slavery therein
would be no more productive. of practical result
than a cougressional prohib tion of Mohamedan
ism; neither can exist theiewitb, or without pros
hibition; and yet the north and the south are both
excited to the, extreme of bitterness; the one insis
ting upon prohibition, and the other resisting it,
as just cause of disunion. The early establish
ment of territorial governmeats is desirable, not
only for the protection orthe exposed parsons and
property. of our fellow citizens, but for the Eurpose
of allaying agitation, which can only be produc
tive of evil."

The 'billowing cote munication, on di - f
the Cholera, was written by respected': and
venerable Roliert,Ohristy„Diti.,... at
the solicitation of a friendywhoWas struck. , With"
the novelty of the writer's vieivs:":" We requested
and obtained copy for publication. _lf Mr.
Christy's philosophy of the - origin and nature of

-ll can see no reasonable objection to his ideas on
the subject,) our citizens have the ch"6.ring assn.

Neu ` Sea:-in compliance with your request,
I,as follows, furnish you with some general ideas
of My own in relation to the cause and operation
of the Asiatic . Cholera; which may, possibly, be
considered as rational and plausible; at least, as
many of the theories Which have been advanced
on the subject. Should you find any thing crude
or-incoherent in this performance, you know well
the need which I stand in of your indulgence;
and your natural suavity and complaisauce is to
me a sufficient guarantee of its exercise.
When I take a survey of the talents and learn
ing which have been called forth, and exercised in
the elucidation of this momentous subject, it is
with no feigned feelings of timidity that I ap.,
proach it, attempting to elicit further light on. it.
Therefore, what I may advance will be with a
due deference to superiors, and without claims to
undue merit.-
The Asiatic Cholera._ is an epidemical disease;
and evidently proceeds from some cause existing
in, but independent of the atmosphere; which
cause is not of local origin, as would appear from
the fact that no adequate local cause - or ceases for
the production of such agency have yet beenadis
covered. It is true, that local causes and circum
stances are observed to have an influence on the
operation of the disease '
by predisposing and indu
cing to its attacks, and increasing or abating its
virulence of action. For instance, it has been
discovered, that an impure state of the atmosphere,
generated in close vaults, cellars, wells coal mines,
ill ventilated:apartments in dwelling houses, ships
and steamboats, and the miasma arising from the
putrifaction of vegetable matter, tends to aid and
increase the power and malignity of the primary
cause; and a pure atmosphere has a contrary ten
dency ; but we do not find that the origin of the
disease can be traced to any impurity or derange
ment in the atmosphere. On the contrary,it would
not be hazarding too much to say, that the presence
of the cause of the disease has an efficient agency
in producing an impure and deranged atmosphere.
When the disease prevailed at Pittsburgh and its
Vicinity, in the year 1833, it wzii noted that in
many places, particulaily in coal mines, the dele
terious exotic or nitrogen gas, was collected in
much larger quantities than was ever known to
exist there.. But the tact that the disease frquent.
ly commences and prevails in the winter, and that
too in high northern latitudes, when and where no
impure atmosphere exists. conclusively proves
that the efficient agency had an existence indepen
dent of atmosphere, and, that the atmosphere is not
the primary cause of the disease.
It hallk_also been discovered that the disease pre:
yails to a mach grezter degree in sections of coun
try over a peculiar geological lon:nation; for ex
ample, where limestone super-abounds. And, it
would be worthy of research ;to ascertain whether
it does not entirely avoid, or but slightly visit,
those regions of the earth where iron ore is abun
dant,
Various circumstances, also, in the constitution,
habits, state of healdi,&c., of the individuals who
become subjects of the disease,have, incidentally,
no doubt, an important influence both on the at
tacks and the nature of the disease's operationson
them. Of the many instances which might be
adduced, let the following suffice for the present.
It is a well known. fact, that persons who have.
been in the habit of much artificial stimulation by'
ardent spirits, &c., are much more liable to be at
tacked and fall victims to the disease than those
of the opposite habit. This would indicate a de
ti cieney and deprivation of some natural stimulant,
[such as electricity,] with which the patient had
formerly been regularly supplied ; which appears
to be corroborated by the tact that cogent and co-
pious stimulants, by medicines, baths, and friction
of the surface of the patient, is oftentimes found
to be the most effectual remedy. But there is no
evidence that the primary cause of the disease is
somethin. b inhaled from the atmosphere, or any ,
thing taken in the manner of food; nor is conta
gion a characteristic of the disease.
From the foregoing observations; it would ap
pear that electricity is the only agent known which
is adequate to the production of all the phenome.
na connected with and exhibited by the origin and
operation of the Cholera, and it operating negative
ly, (if I may so speak) : it is the absence of -a
sufficient quantity of it in the atmosphere and in
the system of the patient, and not the presence of
it, which is the primary cause—a deleterious want
of vital energy, which it is - the peculiar province
of electricity to impart, and which is essentially
necessary to the existence of animal life and vigo
rous health. Hence the peculiar and correspond.
ing aspects exhibited bythe operation of the dis
ease; which are essentially different from those
produced by atmospheric and miasmatic affections.
A very cogent evidence in favor of this theory
was elicited in St. Petersbuigh. At the time
when the disease prevailed there last, to its most
malignant type, it was discovered that a magnet,
which, under ordinary circumstances, was capable
of suspending eighty pounds weight,
almost or entirely powerless, - had 6 * - come
On this theory we call accolnt for the preva
lence of Cholera on limeston", l formations—lime be
ing a non-conductor and, non attractor of electricity.
And also account f.Cir the mildness of type which
the Cholera er.'nibited on its former occurrence In
Pittsburgh : and which, in all probability it will
again assume should it visit us at the present time,
—from the following conductors and attrabtors cif
electricity having been, - and still continuing to be
abundant in our city and vicinity, viz; iron, char
coal, soot, lamp black, flame, smoke, rarified air,
and brick. By the manufacture of iron amongst
us, there is on an average not - less than twenty
tons of it sublimated and thrown into the atmos
phere every working day; which, with the other
substances form a locality and atmosphere highly
attractive of and charged with electricity. If
these views are correct, they are highly consolato
ry, and well calculated to inspire 1113 with confi
dence in the expectation of a comparative, if not
total exemption from the disease. •
Our credulity ought not to be shocked at claim
ing for electricity such an important agency in the
existence and well being of animal life, when we
consider that the Creator has constituted it the pri
mary and universal motive power in the, material
universe, and also the principle of animal life. It
is that power which combines 'and holds together
the different elements of matter in their compound
and organical forms .and modes of existence, and,
without which -they would not exist. And it is
that power which actuates and regulates the mo
tions of the heavenly spheres, and confines them to
their appropriate orbits in, the performance of
their respective revolutions; and which appears to
be everywhere present, in ;a greater or less amount
Then, may we not reasonably suppose thattlie
electrie fluid is the power of attraction and bond
of which Unites azote-and oxygen in the
compound production of atmospheric air ; and that

rangement of the air.

breach from enlarging. The operations, at this.place
have - from the commencement" been sericinsty re
tarded by a series of misfortunes, ,which could, not
be . guarded against . The weather during a great
portion bribe time has been eiceedingly unpropiti

have occurzed,,which have tended to dishearten all
those engaged upon the work. A large. raft was
swept in against the pilling night before lain, and

We saw a poor woman sitting on the steps in
front of a hotel, on Fifth - street, the other morning
bolding a:pale yet beautiful infant in her arms; in
one hand she held a saucer containing a few pen.
vies. She was apparently about thirty, and neat
ly clad, although the dress
,was of the cheapest
material. One could _see that her position in-life
had been better, and perhaps a happy one Mr years.
Our attention 'was arrested - :by a crowd of well
dressed ladies, who were standing around and`en
deavoring-M beg the baby. -
:_"What a sweet child!" said one.
• "Poor little dead" said another, "bow I should
love it if it was my own!"
The Mother drew the child closer to her bosom,
but said not a word.
Another lady, in, whose face one could see at a
glance, a fountain of charity and love, seemed more
intent in the child than any other.
t‘Gire me your baby," said she, "and I will take
good care of it."
The poor woman looked up for the first time,
with a face so melancholy, and the tears trembled
in her eyes. "No, madam, I thank you for your
kind feelings, but I cannot part with the only thing
I have left to lave on earth!"
This was enough. The lady dropped a half ea.
gle upon the saucer, and turned away in tears—
The others opened their purses, and placed their
offerings in charitable sociability with the gold
piece. We added our mite, and walked away a
happier and better man —Cin. Qom.
EARTHQUAKE AT blailicanio.—The brig Abram,
Captain Andrews, arrived on Friday at New York,
in a passage of only eleven'days from Curacoa. Capt.
A. states that information was received there the day
before he railed, to the effect that the ahock of an
earthquake had been felt at Maracaibo, on the 13th
of April, and that it had done'some damage. If it
took place on the 13th of April, as stated, it could
not have_ done much harm, as we bad adriccs direct
from Maracaibo to the 29tb, several days aince, in
which no mention was made of art earthquake.

New Water Wpm:4 .
. .
Some days since we called to see a new water,
wheel, invented by-our very, ibgenious follow. citi
zen Mr, Jocob Walter. It svilda'us 'wing a
very important improvement oeuny wheel now
in use. It is particularly an improvement on any
wheel now in. use, for propelling steamship.s. at
The extreme simplicity in the, organization of
this novel apparatus, is very extiaordinary. It is
hard to estimate the utility of this invention„ as a
power saving machine. In its -revolutions it pro
duces.no reactions neither for Ward nor aft. It can'
be applied to all uses other than Water wheels, or .
It can be submerged as the case may;require, with
tut any loss of power—the action always being
at a right angle with the centre of motion.
This wheel has two centres, and is so construct
ed that the paddle's can be projected at any point
of the circleaf the wheel, or drawn entirely with
in the cylinder of the same, at the will of the ope
rator. It was invented and the 'right secured in
1846, and has not been introduced into use since,
in consequence of the bad health of the inventor.
It is applicable to many useful purposes, to all of
which the author has adjusted diagrams and mod
*ls. It can'be used as a water wheel for steam
vessels, and as a water wheel for mills, and as 'a
pump, and as a hydraulion or fire engine, and as
a blowing machine.--Louisville Journat

Me-srs. J. S. Rockwood and' A. Goodman, of
Petersham, Massachusette, hsve invented a very
valuable machine for dressing and finishing out
carriage felloes, and for turning out the rims of
carriage wheels to a perfect circle. The machine
bores, squares and makes felloes of all descriptions,
and has a circular saw for cutting off the ends,
and a hollow augur for tennonning the spokes, al.',
combhied and working on the rotary prinr: . ic.
The felloes are made fast to a large circoi a . a f ace
plate which is of sufficient s eize to 'receive the
longest teflon, and the said plate 1""ev

the rim: of the wheel in contact with, two cylinder
e".7iers, which turn the periphery of the wheel to
a perfect circle., and planes the; rim to a proper
thickness, arid finishes the felloes in a very-.neat
and rapid manner. The inventors are taking
measures to secure a patent.--. Scientific
New Car Coupling.
Mr. N. G. Freeman, of Manchester. N.-H. has
invented a new mode of Railroad Car Coupling;
which is both good and ingenious. It is selGacting
and is retained so securely that there is no jarring.
—no fears of shaking apart, and it can be tincou.
pled in a very short time. loxes a hooked tongue
that slides up an inclined bar and catches over a
cross pin in the coupling !lox. 'This cross pin.
holds the hook firmly, and it cannot be
,relie,ved
but by-turning the cross pin which has an eccem
tric pallet on it that throws out the hook and un.
couples the cars. The catch pin has a pinion on
thtroutside, which is operated,by - a - handle, on the
lower end of which is a cog wheel that gears into
the pinion to uncouple or fit'-the catch pin for
coupling. If there is .danger to .be apprehended,
the cars -can thus be uncoupled in an instant.
Measures have been taken to secure apatent.--/b.
Miniature . Steam Brigine.
The smallest steam engine ever, made to work
by steam was exhibited a abort time ago in Eng-
Jan& It was by a young man warned Jonathan
Blankley, engineer at Victoria Foundry, Leeds,
and is the most remarkable speeidien of minute
accuracy and ingenious skill, ever beheld. Though
so diminutive that the whole achinery, fly wheel,
included, rni m
ghtbe placed on a four penny . piece,
and might be entirely covered by .a child's thimble,
yet so exact is it in its workniaoship, and yet so
skillfully contrived in all its`parts down to .the
smallest valve, that it works with the same regu
larity and certainty as a steam engine of - ten horse
power. We scarcely need say thatit boiler is not
included in the above dimensions; but there is
every other'essential part of the, steam engine it
self.--/b.
