La snits' , vagrant Can. . . —.._ . We lest week alluded to this Reuolving' , Car, and we arelnformed that it has met the i approbation of John Tucker, Esq., Prmident of the Philadelphia and Reading RilboUll Co The following is, a description of .:the Car, together with aomeolithe advantages elairt' ied font: \ , '• This Car consists oilvvit wronigh Iran cylin ders; of Sufficient length to Snit the track, with the reltoe nr rim or a Railroad wheel, slipped over each end and substantially riveted to t. fri the centre of , each Cylinder is placed a pertitio the whole length I N and depth of the same.- - ' On the bend of each CV titlidrr is fa. cued the jour-' nal, which rest on, and Work in boies plaoad un derneath the frame. and are thus ccitineeted together. 1 The door erteuds lengthwise the cyfiader. be tween the ?thefts: i. in fouretitral part..azid s hinged 'in the itsitalmemiter. and is set-are:l by an Iron rod. passing through, the wheel. and over the sante \ The content.thus revolve with the Cylinder, tow their abrasion is prevented, by the contrithgal for • produced, ti",the usual velocity attained on railroad., and the partition paced in the Cylinder, ab.co effec tually prevents the -ame. during the necessary slow motions on the mad. The sitnplicity, economy, and superiority, this mak of conveyance presents, is so manifest upon the examination of the model, end trial of the Car upon Ike riuxii : that little remains to be said on the •IlbjeCl. Its superiority over cars now in use, for the 'pur pose which it scents at present specially adapted, is not only the simplicity ufeotearuction and repair, .but the'eattre displacement 01 friction, (exim,pting thut cruised by the weight of the frame on the jour nals.) the whole weight' of the Car and contents, being directly on the road, thereby dispensing with axletnees,aprings, and patent boxes, corraequently in a great degree avoiding those terrible accidents, and the immense loss,. - resulting from its breaking. The great saving of Oil, is an item of itself, that will forcibly recommend its adoption, the friction being overcome, but little necessity exists for its use. The Lcx'omot ire is enabled to draw almost double the number of tons.at a given time, .aa.eompared with those now in use, in consemienre of the ab sent.e of friction, and the peculiar form and move mental the Car. which obviates the loss of lime ineurred br i:cturning trains during high winds. The large wheels necessary on Cars of this con function, also materially- enhanee their superiority. and consequently will run mach - easierand lighter, with less injury to the road, and it is the opinion 01 many gQatlemen well informed on the subject; will ratherimprove the road, by its solid, steady move ment, where the tendency is now to destroy. The speed, when and where deemed practicable. may be inereoed from twelve to twenty-five miles per hour, or more; without materially increasing the friction on the journals, thereby greatly econo mizing time and fuel, of th e Locomotive.. The whole weig,htbeine directly on, and in isitell close proximitY to the road. the liability to fly' ruT 'the track. is immeasurably lessened.. The facility for loading these Cars. is equally a• good as those now in 117 , e. simply by placing, in or on the face of the railroad track, at the point of re-' ,ceiving freight, four friction rollers for each cylin der, to be run on. in order that should the door hi' ;down when it should 'be up to receive freight, it may be very readily brought in proper position, by turning the Cylinder, and the facility to do so, is in proportion to the diameter of the frietion rollers, and which are adjusted in some respeetNas the grind-tone is' most insually, in machine shops." The Car is intended to carry Coal, Grain, Bacon, Liine, Sc. The loss on Coal in a trial trip to Philadelphia was about 1 per cent. By4he_present Cara, the loss is from 2to 3 per rent. We have not learned how the rust of these Cars compares with those now in use. THE 'li KIAGI FUND Bigler trying to sten/Vol , Johutton's Minder. The Locofocos held a meeting in Delaware County on the 2d. inst. Mr. Bigler °made a speech;„ in the course of which he made the following remarks: . " The Sinking Fund, about which so Mitch • has been - said,- is an old topic. It was sug gested be Gov. Porter and Gov. Shank. re commended he Col-Strowtle• • tile -State Treasurer, who hattthe boldness to say- giw money could be raised, and a bill similar to the one now in operation, was reported in the Legislature in 1845. by Mr., Burrell. Besides - this, if my *collection serves me right, I had the honor upon one or two or= easiong, of presenting such a proposition.'.' 'a which the .4rwrirna romme\u as follows : No persun ever churned for Gov. John ston the honor- of having first conceived the idea 'of a Sinking Fund. Sinking Funds were known in English history as far back as he reign of William the Third, and since that iinte they have been ordinary subjects fur English writers, speakers and legislators. There is no well read American politician or statesman, who does not know that Sinking Funds have been common political topics in England ever since the rocession of the Prince of Orange. - to the English Throne.— But the ft lends of Gov. Johnston assert, and they can prove the assertion, that nOSinking ~.Fund existed in Pennsylvania until alter Gov. Johnston's • election—that qie lecomnaended• 'and devised one, that it was adopted hra Whig Legislature, and that without imposing any additional taxation on the producing classes, it has sunk the public debt more than half a million of dollars'. If Gov. Skunk. Gov. Porter and - 11r. Snow. den recommended Sinking Funds, why were they never adopted? Their party was in the majority in the State : they had large ma jorities of their political friends in both Hon sea, and yet no Sinking, Fund scheme was adopted during the administration of either `,pm Porter or Gov. Shunk ! Mr. Bigler says that Mr. Burrell. in 1E45 proposo a similes , . Sinking Fund to the one now iniotieration. This is a mistake. The present PUnd ha , been approved ht the best members the Opposition. Mr. , Burrell's plan was condemned even among the-bitter enders in his own county. If. in "1845, lie proposed_a Sinking Fund similar to the pre sent one: what is the reason that, With large Loenfoeo rnajoritiei in both Houses, it was never adopted ? Mr. Bigler can take either horn of the dilemma. The scheme of Mr. Btirrell to pay the State debt was not a good one, . - or else a Locofuco:Governor and Legis lature, did' not want to pay the State debt by " its adoption. . But Mr. Bigler, with wonderful self com placency, says that hot only Mr. Burrell made a similar proposition to the present fund, hut that he made. on one.or two occasions, such a oar ; lit, trieudN have already praised his attempt to pay the State debt in 1846, by the establishment of a Sinking Fund. Mr. Big ler claims credit for a proposition of this kind. Now we assert not only that the Sink ' ing Fund scheme of Mr. Bigler 'vas totally dissimilar from the present one but more -lover, that it was so absurd, impracticable I and unjust. that :be Legislature would not act upon it." Bigler's Sinking Fund Bill, proposed taxing the Widow and Orphan, and is thus• spoken or in the Tel = • It proposed to pay- the State debt by lay iitg a tax upon all estates of deceased persons, thus adding additional misfortune and an op pressive bunlien upon the widows and father less, by taking from them .a portion of the property that had been 'left 'them by their husbands and fathers. Such were the provisions' of the bill in troduced by Col. Bigler into the Senate. It -proposed to pay the State debt by taxing the WIDOWS AND ORPHANS, while the rich and affluent, and all others who had the com fort, aid and presence of their husbands and fathers were to be exempted from the bur then! The State debt was to be paid by the AF FLICTED AND UNFORTUNATE! not by theiirosperous and wealthy. Those,borne down `by oppression and sorrow, -were to be visited with an additional oppression, for the benefit 'of the rich and the hippy ! Such was the proposition for which Col. Bigler and his friends claim for him the credit of having originated Gov. Johnston's Sinking Fund! Is-it any wonder ;bat, they ahrinkTrom giving it to the people ? hit any wonder that CoL Bigler could never make friends enough for it in the Legislature to get it acted upon by either the Senate or. House of Representa tives? , , Keep it before the People that Wm. F. Johnston opposes the ComproMise. met sures of last Congress, and rather than sign the bill repealing the act of '47, he 'would !Lee the Union dissolved. Keep it before the People, dilly er Wr n . Johnston is the advocate of a high otective, Tariff, the friend of monied corporations, and the enemy of individual enterprise. Keep it before-the People. that Wen. ,e k. Johnston is a, rank Abolitionist--favpnag the doctrine of Awing the negro on a social equality with the white mee.—Porfrrilleßnr• poritun. Now keep it before the peoplithat the per• . son who peeped the above thirteen lines is as gross a slanderer and fa/rifler of the truth, es wet breathed—thee, to the past, THE N:itli F.

' 2. And Francis said unto JoSeph, who is surnamed Cake, and is a mighty man of the Wineehago tribe, "Flom whence comest thou?" And Joseph answered and said,— "From going to and fm in Fennsylvania.. visiting. the various Meetings lind Conven \lions held by the faithful. aid kicking up a dust wherever my desires arerthwarted, or the deiires of my tribe. 3 \ Then Francis said, "Hest thou con bidered,my friend Bigler of Clearfield, that there is\oone like unto him' on the earth : a perfect add upright man : one who is non= committal \ upon all things, and who holdeth fast his intrily, although in 1848 thou and' thy Iriends, Cameron' br. Co., defeated his nomination without a cause." 4. AO Joseph'nuswered and said, "Office for office. yea, all that a man 'bath will he give for office—but raise thy voice against IVilliam, who is called Bigler, in the coming. cont'st,.and lie will curse thee . to thy face." 5. Now, when the friends of Francis heard these things, - they said unto Joseph, "Why should we quarrel amongst ourselves, 10, are there not offices enough to be distribu ted this Fall. to satisfy thee and thy friends:" but Francis said, "As my soul hveth there shall be no divisions. nor shalra Winnebago be electtd to a position, over the heads o( t he faithful, who bath horn the heat and burden of the day ? Have we not able and efficient. men in our midst, who have stood in the ;rout ranks, and battled nobly for our cause 'for years? Why then should we not reward than for , their toil ? Why should we not select men who will , harmonise all parties, and bring money and in fl uence to out assist' ance. I therefo re nominate Samuel, who is surnamed Huntzinger. for the office of Pro. !hot/wary," and the faithful all said, "We nominate "Samuel." CI. Then Joseph said, "My heart is indi eating good matter, and I will speak of things which I have heard. 'for my tongue is as the pen of a ready Writer.'—,Since when bast thou. Oh Francis, become gteater than the children of men, or when was the grace Of Locolbcoism first poured upon thy lips ? How long is it since ihoudidst gmd the sword of Lucufocoism upon thy -thigh, and what now is the number of stalps that hang up in thy wigwam, are they as the leaves of the forest, or countless as the stars of Hea ven ?" 7. I know thou. ilidst slay our enemies with the lane - letter, but Clarkson was not slain by thy hand ; I know that thou didst fold thy arms when Lorigstreth was nomi nated in IE4S, and the faithful were scattered abroad by thy murmuring, Yea, manifold are the wonderful deeds which thou bast done, and thy thoughts which are to 'award cannot tic reckoned up in order unto thee; if I would declare and speak the;truth of them, they arc mere than a Winnebago could number! S. Why didst thou permit our tribe to eucittopass the faithful about, and why per mit Simon our War Chief, to elevate:lll62M of the , 13m-atl-head nation :to he raised over the shoulders unto the Senate of the - United • Stets', Verily,,thou bast not hid thy services uuder a bushel, nor have thy friends conetaltd thy worth from the people. Wherefore, then, should the people listen only to thy voice, and shut their ears to the war •Whoop - ut the Winnebago's ? Why should Samuel be exalted? Are there not men in our tribe as noble as be, and are they not as anxious for the spoils?- 9. An.wer all these questions, I pray thee, and deny me not the information I have 'sought. For if we are to* have no say in 'council :• if we are not permitted to smoke our kalrout around the fires of our people, then bewareof our vengeance, for your scalps, yea, even the scalp of Samuel will be hung to our girdle in October next. These are my words, I have spoken. 10. Now. when Charles, who is called Charley. heard the words of Joseph - , he was exceedingly wroth. and cried in a loud voice,,, "Withhold not your countenances from me, Oh Generation or the faithful, and von my faithful Kickapoos and Winuebago's ? Have I not consented to run as Judge ? Yea, have I not contented to be victimised for the party? Have 1 not therefore a right , to he beard in regard to this matter. Therefore let those who would divide us. he ashamed and elm founded: let ,them be driven back into the forests from whence they came, and let their habitations becOme desolate, and the rats and mice make merry. in their vaults. 11. But I speak not this of Joseph, who is not the war chief of his tribe, hut of ( Simon who is surnamed Peter, since he betrayed our party in 1844, and who has eince assisted Richard called "broad-head, alias, - small brains, to a skit in the Senate, and who is 'now again endeavoring to disorganize our party in the County and State. I say, there fore, let all such men be "anathema mare natha," for if the strife continues, I shall re main_ plain Charley.. and the, war whoop of the Winnebagos will he my death knell and - the death knell of our party, and our scalps will decorate the wigwam= of our enemies. 12. Then beast not,of thy power, Oh Jo seph ? Hest thou not learned that the *pa tience of a Locofoco endureth but for a season and then passeth away. Strive not, there fore, with the Lion in his den, as thou wilt be slam,—let us encompass him about with netts, then In ! we can ajay. him at our leisure. 13. Of this we have an illustration in the fate of Luther,' who is called Kidder—our enerriiee set us to wrangling amongst our selvee, and whilst we were busy the friends of Lem', Black and Lowiey carried away' the spoils. This again will)* our fate if we: dispute in the beginning,: for the rascally Whigs will enter as a. thief in the night and bear away the spoils - from our Midst, and' leave us to mourn the cash that leaves us,' and our tribe will. have neither corn nor hominy when, the • storms of winter sweep l over the earth. 14. Now, when Robert heard these words, he exclaimed, "For Harlates sake I will; sot hold my peace, and for Joieph's sake I will not restnatit the 'noble deeds of Samuel are proclaimed to the faithful. : 'Then hear me for my cause,' and judge impartially between Francis and myself. Lo, is he not the render of the right wing of the democracy, and is he not a war chief of the Kickopoosl— Although young, have I not slain our ene mies, and am I not recognised as a chief in the ranks of the Winnebagos ? 15.*Who,is it that cometh from Orwigs burg with dyed garmenet from.
