delegated eoaventiou.Jtar the purpose of nominat
ing a ticket to be supported by the party, at the ;
October election, baa (bund a place in our colunma
and reminds us that our political duties never end. ,
In an elective goverbmept, these duties so coo ‘ i
stanliy recur, that we are in no danger of I
that we possess the rnostf enlarged privilege*, and ,
are under the very highest responsibilities. I
The meeting of an An imesonic aiW VVlng con |
vention is always an nteresuug event.in thi*
county, as it is the repre «niatf TC , body of a argr
majority of the people, and it* decisions are in
variably ratified by thy eaMm * *' eC i
lion. It becomes, th*a. * of the highest
importance thru it* . jobbers be elected from
among tbe wisest ana-W discreet men ol the
party,and tbafihey come prepared to express the
will of their constituents. The primary meetings
should be universally attended, and be conducted
with justice and decorum, aud it any of the op- 1
posiw party intrude themselves, for the purpose of
disturbing the harmony of the deliberations, or to
help a particular person, they ought to be request
ed to withdraw. Ooe thing is certain, no person
of the least delicacy ol feeling, and regard to po
litical propriety, would thus intrude.
In the preceding discussions and canvassing of
the candidates for nomination, by themselves and
their friends, there 'is necessarily a good deal ol
warmth of feeling excited, but ufe hope much care
will be taken, that this does not exceed the due
boonds of an amicable conld&L Our opponents,
although overcome completely, and- deprived of
their ill used power in county, state, and nation,
are as sleepless in their efforts, and os bitter in
' their enmity to Whig principles as ever. They
will watch every opportunity, mark every chance
of success which may occnr through our negli
gence or dissensions. The bitter and unceasing
War which they have waged against our slate and
p-iinnai administrations In the short lime they have
existed, and little as they have done, shows that
they are determined to overthrow the Whig party,
if any means, honorable or dishonorable, can ac
complish it. ,
There are Some circumstances which lead us to
expect that the Locufoco party are bent upon a
desperate effort in this county, a! the approaching
campaign. Calculating on the apathy which gene
rally possesses a winniug party, alter itn exciting
campaign, and upon beait burning* ami jealousies
among ourselves, arising from the eoutest for
office, they hope to reduee oar majority to.* less
formidable magnitude, and make some progress
towards gaining a foot hold in the county. A pru>
dent and determined course ou our part will pre
vent this, and convince them that their hopes are
wholly baseless, and that their destructive princi
ples never can receive the approbation of the
people of tins county.

For the Pittsburgh Gasetu.
As one of the individuals who signed the me
morial to (he Legislature, against the passage of a
law in lavor of a particular project for a High
School, 1 am disposed to say a word in reply to
"Civis,” who asks for the reasons of the memorial
ists in the matter In question. It is well known to
every person that own* any property in (hi* city,
that at the present.rale of taxation,one fourth, and
m many cases ooc third of the whole amount of
rent is absorbed in taxes of different descriptions.
And it is equally wbll known, th'ai the prospective
taxation will necessarilyjhovo to be much greater
than it is at present, to mfeet the various embarrass
ments which our city now labors under. And is
this a time to enact new laws for High Schools,
or schools of any kind, when property holders arc
staggering under the loads that have already been
placed upon them? The Common Schools have
been supported with commendable liberality, by
the property holders of the city, and they have
borne patiently the many monstrous inequalities
which that law imposes, in order that every indi
vidual might have the benefit* of n good education;
but when' it is proposed, in addition to this, by
a few persons, and id the excitement of the
moment, to start a project which the people
have never had time to reflect upon, It na- ■;
thing more than proper, it seem* to me, that
the* Legislature should be asked to pause, until 1
the matter had been more, gravely considered. ,
The taxes for school purpose* are iu all conscience •
high enough, aod the charge of selfishness against
those who signed the memorial, is, to say the least,
in exceeding bad taste. It is well enough for men
to talk about liberality as connected wiltf'work* of
a public character, no loog as they confine them
selves to their own < resources, but When they j
broach magnificent schemes of public enterprise, '
at the expense of their neighbors, it seems to me. <
that those neighbors should at; least htvfe a word '
to say in the matter, without having their motives
impeached. . t *'
I have no doubt that every' one who signed
that memorial, would be willing*to contribute, to
the extent Of his ability, to edncale any of uur
pour children, who were desiroas, or had a taste
to conunoe their studies beyond those taught m
our pablic schools. And how easy it would be
to arrange all such applications with the faculty
of our univerpity which is so fast risiu* in public
estimation l Upon enquiry 1 have learned there .
would be no difficulty in auch arrangements l>emg
fua.ln and, if necessary, another professorship

Correspondence of the Pittsburgh Gazette.
Washikqtox, April 24th, 1&19.
The National Intelligencer committed rathei to
unusual/ot« pai yesterday morniog, in the inser
tion of a notice to the effect that the ceremony of
presenting a sword voted to Gen. Taylor by the
Legislature of bis native State, Virginia- would
come at noon. The announcement of course at
tracted to the doors of the 'White House at the ap
pointed boor a large number of persons naturally
desirous of being present on i»n occasion of l0 *
treating a character. They were informed at the
.door that the Cabinet waFio session, and that the
attendants bad no reason to believe that any pub
lic parade wa« to Lake place oo that day. 1 believe
the non-arrival of the Committee charged to repre
sent Virginia on the occasion, was the cause of the
disappointment. However, lhe cmtrt ump* did
not detract from the spectacle when it did take
place, which was at eleven o’elock to-day. The
hour was rather too early for me, so that I waa not
a witness of the proceedings, hut I learn that the
reception room was full, and the speeches on both
side* were -written, and that therefore they were
somewhat formal and precise. Your military men
have not much opinion of unpremeditated oratory,
and indeed L have heard that iu general they con
aider a cereraCnieu* sword presentation, in which
their personal participation is required, somewhat
of.« lore. But 1 would not auribuie anything cf
this feeling to Gen. Taylor, while receiving this
testimonial of the approbation of hi* native State.
Yesterday a dog waa so unfortunate as to bite
Mr. Greenlow, the accomplished translator of the
State Department, who wrote the book on tne Ore
gon controversy, which was so much qooted du«
nng the disputes about "fifty-four lorty or fight."—
The bite was severe, and the dog was of coarse
unanimously pronounced to be mad, and killed ac
cordingly, by way of example. Mr. Greenlow re
ceived nil the attentions which medical skill and
zeal cduld administer, nod it is hoped will escape
the awful malady of hydrophobia.
The work of reformation is not wholly suspend
ed in consequence of the absence of the Secreta
ries of the Intenor and Navy. I believe I told your
reader*, a few days since, of the case of the clerk
in ihe'latter department, who, according to sum
mer usage, applied for, leave of absence, and re
ceived the promise of indefinite leave. That pro
mise has been fulfilled. The name ot the young
man is Brougham.
It is expected that the Chief Clerk of the Second
Auditor’s Office, Josiah F Polk, a distant relative
of the President, will be removed from that station
to a lower one, in the same bureau.
Mr. Meredith has issued n circular letter to al*
officers bavins charge of the bureau under him’
for the purpose of ascertaining thestnte of business
in each, and if it be in arrears,to what extent, and
for what reason#- This will have a good effect —
It will bo the moans of discovering that in one or
two burean of that department at least, ihe bus*'
new is very much behind hand, and that this is in
some measure, though not wholly, owing to the
delinquency of clerks. If the testimony of an out
side observer be desired. I will myself undertake
to furnish the names of some of the clerk# who
were absent from their offices from the city, last
year, for montly. with - the knowledge and consent
of their superiors, and that while ho absent, they
were engaged in speculating upon the returned
soldier* and volnuleers. Some of these men note
call themselves .Whigs, though they •litained their
offices, and held them, through Democratic influ
ence of the rankest kind. Of all such, ibere should
be a general sweep, and I hope there will be.
You will perceive there is au animated discus
sion upon the subject of a newspaper organ for the
new administration. The Republic will roaie its
appearance on the 13th ot June. So far as the Ex
ecutive Government wtb have an authorized and
accredited organ of communication with the pob
lie, 1 incline to toe.belief that the Republic
stand in that relation. If Mr. Bullitt was not invi
ted by Gen. Ta\ lor tn come tc Washington, he
i came with bis assent and c-•ucurrence. He u ■
smooth, clear, and pleasant writer, and a sound, ju'
dtcions’ politician There wiil. however be an
abundance of patronage and busmens io muu.d
both this journal and the Intelligencer The la
telligencer will maiutmu Us old. position. Uad will i
; probably seldom, if ever, be brought into w»-
diet of views with the Republic. Nut even its pe
cuniary interests will be affected by the establish
ment of a new Whig paper.
I The Democrat* are inclined to make a great fust
! over the removal of some few office holders whom
Polk put in at tue closo of bis term, ostensibly
on aceoout of their services in the Mexican war*
This is really afflicting Their complaints suggest
a few reflections. Polk appointed a good many of
! these gentlemen, but did be appoint a single Whig l
! Nay, did be appom|one Democrat who had been
! in the army who did not belong to his own faction 7
: He did not But there were Whig*, and many of
them, too, who distinguished themselves as much
: as any Democrats couid have done And some of
] these are among the men whom this administre'
! tioa intend* to honbr. —Doniphan, of Mo., Baker,
j ofllL, Haskell, Mitchell, and many of £ heroes
j who survived that forlorn hope at Boena Vista.
' I think I can venture to promise that for every
! Hunker Democrat who achieved any reputation ib
* Mexico, that shall be dismissed from office,one of
1 these will be pat iu. 1 may be mistaken, but soch
! I understand is.lhe probability. Jrciu*.

Tae question b frequently asked whether it will
do to trust Homcppathy iq several diseases All
will agree that the Asiatic Cholera i« a severe dis
ease. One that carries terror in its march, and
desolation in its track. Let the statistic*, collected
by several European governments, answer the
question.
The general mortality wm about 3| per cent,
among those treated Homtrpalbically when it rag'
ed with the greatest tury. Whilst, in the same
countries, from DO to 70 per cent, died of those treat*
ed Alice pathically. Showing a disparity in results’
which can only be accounted for by admitting
that Homurpathy cures, and therefore is reliable
in severe diseases ; or that Alkrpalby is awfully
destructive to life—both of which are true. Bat it
is asserted that Homoepsthy only allows its pa
tieuU to get well by. diet, and the unaided efforts
of nature. If this is true, which is the worst that
can be said, then account for the fearful mortality
I under the furtn* drug tnataunx. whether by AI-
I loepatby, or those disgusting exrresencea upou
I it, Eclecticism* Steam System, Hydropathy and
, quark nostrum*.
I Statistics not only show ilia curative but the
prophylactic virtues of Medicines prepared and
given Homcrpaihically. Out of two hundred and
thirty who took the preventives io Hun
gary, Poland, and Austria, not ooe died with the
; cholera, whilst it was raging with foarful mortah*
| tv among thosiwbo :did not take the medicines,
; ouch resuiu should arrest the attention of all who
j feel an interest in their own health and lives.—
! Such evidence should throw down the walls of
j prejudice that ignorance has thrown around the
i minds of men, and allow truth to erect a strooger
influence over the judgment than the vague opm
! tons of those who know but little of the true art
| of healing—who*e only argument against Homeo
pathy is vulgar ridicule, against which the public
i should protest and claim candid enquiry.
Let pbysietaQs investigate, with a spirit of can
dor, the ejaims of Hpmcepathy to their confidence,
and be able to guide, the public mind to paths of
scientific truth—tike Professor Henderson, who
had, for many years, lectured on the Institutewand
practice af Medicine in Edinburgh, Scotland. Af
ter a tboioagb investigation, be found that the
Hhracppatbu} system rested on the only law ot na
ture, upon which the healing an can be founded.
He at once rejected, the time-honored system of
gujesa work and uncertainty and embraced Hoorn:-
pathy, for which be was rejected from the iavt t( n
non by those whose profes-uonaJ bigotry deterred
them from investigation and candid enquiry. He
knew truth and-folloWed its teachings at the sacri
fice of his pecuniary interest. Now I oak the can
did reader, which is the most reliable source of
information, thfise wbo deny the truth of Homj
patfay, and have never tried it, or Professor Hen

Taos. New Mexico, Feb. Ulh. 1549.
Mr Dsab Robidocx: 1 arrived in this place last
reoing from Rio Colorado, from about as hard a
trip and a* total destruction of an expedition as
possible. As rumors will reach you, I thooebl
it would lie aa well to give you some little cor
rect informauon on lb« subject, though my
time will scarcely allow of any thing like de
tail.
As far as Bent’s we met with no obstacles or lon,
and every thing bade fair to give ns a tolerably
pleasant trip, considering the Reason, pur animals
were m good condition; and procuring corn at
Hard Scrabble for the worst part of the road, we
calculated passing the moontaine with success.
Old Bill was with us a* a guide, and that of course
gave confidence, supposing none so capable, as he
to carry us through. Leaving Hard Scrabble, we
continued up iu creek into the mountains. A*
we advanced the snow increased. Crossing the
first range, we fell upon the waters of the Wap
paoab, passing through the mountains to the Del
Norte by your old wagon road —the snow still in
creasing.
We continued a couple of days ob the Del Norte, j
end then turned up wbat Williams called your pass ;
oo to the Compadno. In this he was evidently mis
taken, for a worse road I never saw. It you ever
got over it with wagons, I should like to have sees
the operation. We wenton up the Canon, our ani
mals tailing and the snow deepening every step we
took, biding fair, aa it subsequently turned out, to
defeat our crossing. On the I filb of December, we
attempted to cross what we supposed to be the di
viding ridge between the St Johns and the waters
of the Del Norte, but were driven back by the
storm. The next day we returned to it again, and
were successful enough to get on the other tide to
a small clump of pines. We unpacked our animals
on u bare point, and drove them to the hill top in
hopes of their finding sufficiency of food for a day,
as the snow had dnßeti from it in plocea Fro n this
hill they never came again; the storm continuing,
and having no shelter, they perished. Camp then
commenced making portages, in hopes of reaching
the river. This you may suppose was a severe
undertaking In the cold, and no positive hopes a
head of reaching any place, even should we have
been able to get out our effects. By hard labor we
worked our way gradually down. On the 26th,
King was sent ahead with Old Bill to Abaqne to
bnug ua relief, while we were to continue down.
On the 11th of January, he not arriving, the Colo-
nel became anxious and started with bis mess and
Godey in hopea of mealing the relief party. Our
provisions had given out, and we were living on
parefleshes and tug ropes Already Proulx had
perished from hunger and exposure.
On the 16th, all having reached the river, we
made our little packs of bedding and with our rifle*
started for—Ood only kneF where. Here com
menced onr greatest suffermg. The company had
for its head vincot Haller, about as contemptible
and cowardly a fellow as ever walked, his own
lack of courage quickly diffused itself among the
men—so yon may suppose how things went on.
Probably up to the 27th we had lost nine men. Our
mess and another had made our final camp. We
were blind from the snow, and unable to see the
sights of oor rifles. A dead wolf was all we had
to suHtain life among nine mcf. I had closed all
my affairs, and felt that adaJP'or two more would
ead my troubles, when, about noon on the 2&lh. we
heard a shout, and Godey entered camp. Here
ended our troubles—From him we learned the fate
of King's party; who had been found by him on his
way down on the 16th. Poor King had died from
exhaustion somewhere about the 9th; the rest were
in a miserable condition —frozen and partly crazed.
They had given up all hopes of returning to us with
relief.
Thus baa ended the expedition,—commenced,
•o far ft* outfit was concerned, under aa Haltering
prospects aa ever one started. The loss in dollars
has amounted to over 10.000—in life 10. Mybroih
ers and myself will winter somewhere in this vici
nity, and return borne early in the spring, when I
shall pay you a visit at your pleasant town of San
Jose.

EMANCIPATION in KENTUCKY.
In pursuance of notice, a meeting of those of the
citizens of Lexington, and Fayette county, oppos
ed to (be perpetuation of Slavery in this Common
wealth, was held in the City Hall, on Saturday, tbe
14lh of April,-when, on motion, Mr. Edward Old

appointed Secretary.
The object of the meeliog having been explain

latter gentleman, the following resolutions were
unanimously adopted:—
I. This meeting, composed of citizens of the
County of Fayette, met, iu pursuance of public
nntice, to consider (he question of the perpetuation
of Slavery in this Commonwealth, considering that
hereditary Domestic Slavery, as it exists among
me
1. Is contrary to tbe rights of mankind.
2. Is opposed lu the fundamental principles of
free government.
3 Is inconsistent with a state of sound morality
4. Is hostile to tbe prosperity of the Common
wealth, are therefore of opinion, that it ought not
to be made perpetual, aad that the Convention
about to meet to amend the Constitution of this
Stale afford* e proper occasion on which steps
should be taken to cmeliorate the condition of
-Slavery, in such way as Hull be found practicable
in itself just as regard* the master* of slaves, and
beneficial to the slave* themselves.

with us, throughout tbe State, a plan of action
suitable adopted on Uu* occasion, and to
agree with them upon a common platform of prin
ciples, this meeting appoints (he (allowing oitixens,

Hots. Thonu Cor win.
Senator Corwm is decidedly the most popular
man in Washington. He remained there a month
or more after the inauguration, and thousands of
strangers from all parU of the Union, including the
sunny South, sought hia*acquaintance The great
Northwest had especial claims upon him as the
only Whig Senator B U .,a of the Ohio,’and people
were in waiting to see him at all hours of the day-
Senator C. was in fine health and spirits, and hii
numerous visitors always lert him in the beat of
humor, ao happy was be in imparting it from bis
inexhaustible fond.
A correspondent of the CincmnaU Chronicle,
writing from Washington, tells the following good
one, which, beingtcharacterisuc, may have a shad
ow of truth;
The proverbially conceded fact that lfa e dark
and swarthy hue which overshadows the feaotures
ef Senator Corwin, Ohio sproud Representative in
the executive branch of Congress, which entitles
him to the sobriquet-of “Black Tom,” was striking
ly illustrated a few days since in this city. He had
it appears, occasion lo visit the Navy Department
to transact some business with which he was in
trusted. While there, waiting the return of the
Secretary’s messenger, by whom he had sent in
his name, a genilemun whose modest and excited
appearance betokened an'office hunter, stepped up
lo Mr. Corwin, whom be supposed from bis dark
complexion to be the veritable messenger and
handed him bis ‘ papers" wuh a request that he
would take them to the Secretary. Mr. C. play
fully remarked that be was otherwise engaged just
at that time, “but’ 1 continued he, directing the at
tention of the gentleman to a negro boy in the
corner of the room, “if you will give your papers
to my cousin there, he will take them lo the Sec
retary of the Navy.” Just at this moment a gentle
man acquainted with Senator Corwin, entered the
room and addressed him by name. The confusion
of the office seeker can better be imagined than
described. He looked as if he had committed an
unpardonable am, which utterly destroyed all hope
of his obtaining ao office. He approached the
Senator—large drops of perspiration stood on his
brow, took him to one side and in a tremulous
voice begged bis pardon, Mr. C. who enjoyed the
joke, told him to give himself no uneasiness—that
such mistakes were of frequent occurrence, and
his astonishment was that he had not been appre
hended before as a fugtive slave.
A Locofoco Trjci.— At the last session ot Coo
gresaa law was passed limiting the entire disburse

This law will take effect on the 30th of Jane nexi
when the Secretary of ibe Treasury will be com

Thomas A. Cooper, the tragedian died in Bristol,
, Ducks County, on Saturday laal. He was former
| ly one of the most eminent actors upon the Amen
j can stage, and many of our citizens will remember
! the ability with which he sustained the minnc re
presentations of Shakapeare, Massinger, Otway,
Shendan, and other of ibe principal dramatist*
i Philadelphia waa ihe sceoe of many of hia perform
ancea, and at one lime he was a special favorite of
all in this city who delighted in the drama. We
• believe that he was once manager of the Chesnui
' street Theatre, though nof certain of the fact. He
i lingered a veteran upon the stage until age and to
| (trinities broke down his physical power*, when he
| was reluctantly compelled to retire. Like ruost
I actors, providence tor the future wo* not one of
I hia characteristics, and in his old tjf. be. ihu- had
commanded like an Emperor the subordinates in
1 the dramatic world, found himself compelled to ao
: opt a subordinate office in the cuatom-houae, nn
: der President Tyler, from which, according to the
• mordern and moat approved doctrine, he was oust
fed on a change of administration. For several
i years we have not heard of Mr. Cooper, undl now
{ it ia announced that he has made uia final exit
'•from the mortal stage, and we hope that # “poor
i Tom’s* cold,” “after life's fitful fever, sleeps well"
Mr. Cooper, we believe, was ot English birth, bat
| had been for many years a citizen of this country,
where his hmnonic fame was acquired. He
. lived at Bristol, where he formerly owned a pretty
i residence on the river bank.
Ho*. Charles B. Penrose. —The Locofoco press

cal abuse of thisgentlornan. W« trust our political
friends abroad will not be misled by these attacks.
—Sorter as the Whigs of Pennsylvania are con
cerned, Mr. Penrose needs no defence.—They
know him and appreciate his services sod worth.
No man in the party stands higher for unblemished
personal character and seal and ability in tb> ad
vocacy of correct principles. His appointment as
assistant Secretary of the Treaory meets tbe cor
dial approbation of the Whigs ofPetmtvlvania, and
his discharge of the duties of the office will, we
doubtd 00l be such os «o reflect credit upon the
administration. —Lancaster Inbun*
T«a Homestead Exsamon —Tbe Legislature
it will be perceived, has turned inattention to this
matter, by directing tbe Judiciary to inquire into the
expediency of providing by law that homesteads of
the value of tnree hundred dollars be exempted
from execution for debt. Whatever Ihe Legislature
may do for the help of those unfortunate individuals
wbq are hard pushed for money will be thank
fully received by tbe sufferers. If homesteads of
three hundred dollars value, or of any other value
greater or less, can bo saved from ihewrect of tbe
poor debtor's fortune, in any manner compatible
with the ends of josuce and the general good, we
say, Amen I —Boston Courier.
For iht National Inteiligi-ncrr
Assent ettom ad Homjsuu —Gen. T., of New
Fork, a gentleman of known wealth and liberality,
was not loog since called upon by a person to
obtain his signature on s petition for the abolition
of capital punishment. The person unfolded hi*
papers and documents, and presented and enforced
nit arguments in rather a tiresome set speech,
stopping occasionally to deposit* a mouthful of
tobacco juice upon a nice carpet. General
T. was in favor of diminishing capital punishments,
but doubted the propriety or expediencyof abolish
ing them to aJJ case*. At the expression of this
opinion, his visiter began to btidle up and prepare
to lay down his arguments with greater force; and,
in order to give greater facility to his enunciation,
he took from his month a huge quid of tobacco
and threw it upon the white marble hearth, say
■og bo wished tbe General would be so good as to
reform him in what cases capital punishment could
ever be justified or defended.
-Wolf, said t!?o General, **it strike* me, that if
we are goiug w abolish capital punishment, there
are two cases which should be made e^cepbons."
“Two cases, are there?” said the petitioner. 1
“Well, sir, I should like to hear them stated, and '
the argument* for them.” •
“The first,” raid the General, "is that of clear, !
cold blooded, premeditated murder. I think the I
person who lies in waiting or in ambush, with
malice prepen* e, and lakes tbe life o( his fellow '
creature, onght to forfeit bis life in return. He !
deserve* to be hung ” i
“Well, I have abundance of arguments to meet I
that case." said the visiter. J should l.ke j
to know whnt is your other case."
•‘The other case.” said tbe General, “is that of ■
the animal thai walks on two legs, calls itself a
man, aud carries 3 mouthful of diagusttog filth info
a dean house, nnd there pour* if about the carpet
and soallei* It over the Dearth. 'Such a being u
certainly not fit to live in decent society, and I do
not know of any better or more ready mode of
getting rid cv h;m than to hang him With these
(wo exceptions, 1 think I should l<e willing lo sign
your peiitiou for the abolition 0/ capital punish
ment-"
Tb" vi»iter gathered Up his papers, thrust them
info bis pookr.. and with a very blank took hastily
withdrew. lie has no. called since to receive

Communists, at Nauvoo, Illinois, is noticed in the
Quincy Whig, where, we learn from the same
source, they intend to locale permanently. They
are composed mostly of mechanics and farmers,
baring with them their irapletbeoU of husbandry,
and a variety of tools suited to their several trades.
Their religion is similar to that of the Uoitannn*,
and their manoerof living much like the Social

tion of the virtue :>f wieir domestic circle. -This
company is headed by Monsieur Cabet, the gTeat
French politician, woo for forty years has been
the leader of the republican party in the House of
Deputies, five years Chief of the Island of
Corsica, was instrumental in the overthrow of
Charles X and Louis PhiHippe and was b&Disbed
by the latter from France for the term of 5 years.
Id this company are many of Monsieur Cabet’s
firm friends, who have been with him in his en
deavors to extricate France from Kingiy power,
and have often been imprisoned for their advoca
cy of republican principles. Monsieur Cabet and
company, lead the way, and 30.000 follow in the

A ons Wh crr.pn CaXKIaOK THE HoRAK l.t—
slot —A new and very novel invention called a
one wheeled coach, has recently been tried with
success oat West, and promises to be of much
value, especially on prairies, or wherever the sur
face of the ground is tolerably level. The vehi
cle consists of a large hollow wooden wheel, four
teen feel in diameter and six feet wide. The hor
ses are placed inside, and propel it along in the
same manner (hat a caged squirrel makes its wheel
to revolve. Slats are nailed on the inside floor
of the wheel, by which the horses obtain footholds.
In the centre is a small iron sbaft.from which de
pens hangers which support four comfortable sofns
for passengers; the wheel thus revolves freely, the
seals remaining in perfect equilibrium. The ar»
rangement for guiding the carriage is very simple
and effective; it can make a much storter turn than
a stage coach
A very successful trial of one of these carriages
was recently made, on the State road, between
Canal Dover and New Philadelphia. Tuscarawas 1
Co. Ohio, which perfectly demonstrated their util
ity in transporting very heavy loads with rose
and rapidity. The carnage was filled by a party
of twenty-four ladies and gentlemen, with two
heavy draught horses previously trained to propel
them. The distance between the two places, five
miles, was performed in 2S minutes on the first
trip, and 25 minutes on the second. The horses
are not confined by harness, and they travel, ai it
were on an endless plank road, their work is com
paratively easy.— Cleveland Herald.
“Tax Fabled Upas Taxx.”—What passes with
most as a fable, is after alt a reality.—Brooke's Jour
nals ofa residence in Borneo are entitled to all cre
dit, for their author ranks already as one ol the
most remarkable men of the age—having, by his
individual euterprisc, pul in tram a sene* of
events resulting in the conquest, and the pro
bable civilisation of the savages of that Isa
land.
While making geological examinations ia search
of coal, he, with his friends, discovered an isolat
ed upas tree, (antearu nearly forty feet
high. Its trunk was almost straight, its bark
smooth and of a red tan color and its head a
dense mass of danc green glossy foliage. The
ground beneath its shade is crowded with tombs,
yet vegetation doursbes luxuriantly round its
roots
In lapping it, no bad effects were experienced
from the effluvia. Bat on cutting it to obtain a por
tion of the wood, bark and mice, n man was so
much vtupified that he was obliged U> desist. It i*
ascertained mat the bread fruit tree, the mulberry,
and the cow tree of South America, belong to the
same natural order as the deadly Upas.—JV. E,
