Besides he is now making con siderable addition to his machinery, which will enable him to furnish ns good gins, and on as reasonable terms, as any factory in the State. The subscriber has the exclusive right of Simpson’s 1 Patent, (for applying nictalic rubber to drums, pullies, I iVc.) f'r some fifty of the best cotton growing counties in the State : which he intends applying to his gins I when required. And it is certainly of grent advant- I age totW* cotton gin, for it not only requires one third I I*'hs power to propel it, where the metalie rubber is np j plied, but the gin. running geer, nnd every thing con ’ n**cted with it, will Inst ns much longer in pioportion. I believe there is no one of common sense but will nd tnit, ihnt the lighter machinery of any kind can run, | the longer it will last. It appears that n great mnnv persons prefer what is enlled n water box, to nil such t would say. that it is not worth one eent for the purpose recommended—that is to prevent the gin from faking fire, forthis simple rea son, a gin never fakes fire rom the box. but invariably from the brush inside the gin, (when it ta'ies fire nt all.)

JOHN C. LOGAN June 14 * 11 3m MISCELLANEOUS. Very Fair Take ott. A large proportion of the “gootl advice” wliicli is scattered in scraps on the first and font tit page* of newspaper*, has its source in a mere idea of sordid money snaking. Such advice is well taken off in the following arti cle from the Washington Era : Good Husbands.—That young men will make n good husband who instead of idleing ! away his evenings at lyceums and lectures, stay's at home, to help pick wool or do she churning. When you see a young man, on a rainy Sunday, put on his working jacket, draw an oil-skin over his go-to-meeting hat, and keep the polish on his boots with stout India rub bers depend upon it, he will make a capital husband. When von see a young man, instead of foolishly devoting the m tin portion of his time to the improvement of his mind, anil vainly striving to distinguish himself for his : learning, keep quietly at home, helping his lather, and thus, saving the expense ot’ hir ing a man on the farm, rely upon it, lie is the I husband for you ; he will be able to give you a snug home, as sure as dimes make dollars. When you see a young man. in the pur chase of his clothes and in other personal ex penses, keep a sharp eye upon the coppers. 1 catch him il you can, lie will be sure to make 1 a liberal husband. When a young man grudges himself the means of e lucation and respectable appear ance, and growls when his sisters get anew bo met or gown, yet does not scruple to take a 1 glass at the tavern and sport a ■ long nine.” . you may be perfectly sure that he understands his rights, and knows how to “support thedig i nity of manhood.” In short, when a young man manifests, by’ ’ Ins conduct in every relation of Ini*, a settled conviction that money is the chief good, and a resolute purpose to save every penny he j can, never stop to ask if he possesses another j virtue. He is bound to he rich, and can very well atlird to dispense with such inferior quah lications as learning, refinement, benevolence j and honorable principles. These would only erve to give him false views of real lile. and ’ unfit him for the “hard scrabble” by which he must achieve his purpose. An I if you turn every penny to the best account, taking especial care not to waste his hard earnings on idle beggars or foolish benevolent projec ts —dress plainly —bring up your family on the smallest possible scale of domestic comlort. carefully excluding all the refinements of so ciety and the pleasure of generous hospitality, never for a moment forgetting that he mar ried you to keep his house in order, sew the buttons on his shirts, see that nothing is wan ted, and work early and late to aid him in accomplishing the end of his being—then may you hope, when life is spent and your work is done.,to have the phasing reflection, that, while many who set out in life with you fool ishly made themselves comfortable by the wav enjoy'ing the blessings of life themselves and dispensing to others with a liberal hand, all that remained being squandered in educa ting their children. you have done none of these things—and behold the result. They are lov ed, to be sure. The poor bless them when they go out, and their children reverence and love them. The world is toolish enough to call them liberal and raise their public spirit. Let them enjoy il if they can poor souls; ihey have not much else to comlort them. For your part, you have taken good care to do nine of these foolish things, and—you are rich I “Sfy KainteJ Mother.” The mother of John Randolph taught his infant lips to pray. This act he could” never orget. It influenced his whole life an.l saved him from the dangers ot’ infidelity. He was one day speaking on the subject of infidelity, to which he had been much exposed by his in tercourse witli men of infidel principles to a distinguished southern gentleman and used this remarkable language : “ I believe I should have been swept away by the flood of French infidelity, if it had not I accn for one thing—the rem luorance of tlte time when my sainted mother used to make ue kneel by her side, taking my little hands ■bided in hers, and caused ma to repeat the Lord's Prayer.” Every mother who reads this anecdote may read an important p actical lesson, which site ought to put to use in the case ol her own cl il j .Iren. No mother can ever know how great will I lie the influence on her son, in all his future life in this and in the world to co.ne, of teaching him to pray. How appropriate, how beauti ful the conduct ofthat mother who teaches her 1 little son to kneel by her side as he retires to i rest, to lilt up his young heart to the God that made him and on whose rare and mercy he must rely in all the future years of his exist ence! If all mothers would teach their cliil- Iren to pray with and for the n, how soon would this world’s aspect be changed a id bud and blossom as the rose ! And the mother who does not teach her children to pray has no ground to believe that she shall ever meet her children in heaven or that she will ever reach there herself, l’rayerless mothers never find admission to heaven. The Green Frog ol Allstrilasiil. In the Macquarie, near Bathurst, I first saw the superb green frog of Australia.

The following is one of the most beautiful and truthful sentences we have ever read. It is from the pen of Sir Humphrey Davy, of whom it is well observed, that if he had not been the first of modern philosophers, he would have been the first of modern poets : “ I envy no quality of the mind or intellect of others ; not genius, will or fancy; but isl could choose what would he the most delight ful. and I believe most useful to me I would prefer a firm religious heliel to any other j blessing: for it makes discipline of good— creates new hopes when earthly hopes van ish, and throws over the decay, the destruc tion oi existence, the most gorgeous of all lights, awakens life in death, and from cor- , ruption and decay, calls up beauty and divin ity ; makes an instrument of fortune, and of j shame the ladder of ascent to paradise ; and, i I*r above all combinations of earthly hopes calls up the most delightful visions of palms and amaranths—the gardens of the blest the security of everlasting joys, where the ! sensualist and skeptic only view gloom and decay, annihilation and despair!” I POLITICAL. Millard Filtnore. The history ol Millard Fillmore, our candi date lor V ice President affords a useful les son as showing what may he accomplished i i tlie face of the greatest obstacles, by Intel- I lect. aided and controlled hy energy, perseve , ranee, and strict integrity, in a public and ! private capacity. His lath r, Nathaniel Fillmore, is the son of one of like name who served in the French war, and yva~ a true Whig of tlie Revolution proving his devotion to his country’s cause hy gallantly fighting as Lieutenant under Gcne rd St irk. iu tae battle of Bennington. He wis born at Bennington, Vermont in 1771 and early in hie remove I to wiiat is now called Summer Hill. Cayuga county. New \ ork, where Millard was born, January 7 IsffO. He was a farmer and soon tiller lost all liis property by a bad title to one of the military lots he Had purchased. About the year ISOJ lie removed to the town of Sem prontus, now Niles, and resided there till 1819, | when he removed to Erie county, where he * still lives, cultivating a small farm with his I own hands. He was a strong and uniform ; -upporter of Jefferson. Madison and Tomp- j kins, und is now a true Whig. she narrow means of his Hither deprived Millard of any advantages of education be yo id what were nffirded by the i nperfect and nl tuugnt common schools of the country. — Books were fc tree and dear, at the age of fif teen. when more favered youths are far ad vanced in their classical studies, or enjoying i.i colleges the benefit of well furnished libra ries, young Fillmore had read but little ex- I cept his common school hooks and the Bible. I At that period he was sent into the then* wilds \ of Livingston county, to learn the clothier’s ! trade. He remained there about four months and was then placed with another person to pursue the same business and wool carding in tlie town where hi*father lived. A small village horary that was formed there soon ‘• tiler, gave lieu the first means of acquiring general knowledge through hooks. He im- i proved the opportunity thus off red ; the ap- ; petite grew by what it led upon. The thirst j ior knowledge soon became insatiate, and every leisure moment was *peut in reading. Four years were passed in this way. working at his trade, an I storing his mind during such hours as tie could comma id, with the content oi onoks ofnistory biography anJ travels. At the j igeol 19 he fortunately m ule a i acquaintance with the late Waiter Wood Esq., who.u ma- | iy will remember as one of the mast estima nle citizeas of that county. Judge Wood was a m in ot wealth and great business ca picity; he had an excellent law library, bui li I little profession tl business. He soon saw that under the rude exterior of the clothier’s nty were powers that required proper dev *1 potent to rai-* lie p w.-essor o high distinction a.id usefulness aim advised him to quit his trade and study law. In reply to the ob.ee tion of a lack of education, means and friends to aid him in a course of professional study. Judge W kindly offered to give him a place in his ofii *e, to advance money to defray his expenses, and wait until success in business mould furnish the means of repayment. Tlie ider was accepted. The apprentice hoy bought his time ; entered the olii e of Judg ■ ■VooJ. and lor more than two years applied iiimseM’ closely to business nnd study. He read law and general literature, and studied ind practised .surveying. Fearing he should incur too large a <K*hl to | his beaetaetor, he taught scliimm for three j months in the year auJ inquired the means o'partially supporting himiell. la the fil l >1 1 821 lie removed to the country o. Erie, and the next spring entered a law office m Bufl'ilo. There lie sustained himself hy t aching school, and conn med his l. gil stu dies until the spring of 18JJ when he w.ts idinitted to the Coin non Fleas and commen ced practice in the village of Aurora, where ae re named until 1830 when he again re lieved to Butfilo and has continued to reside mere ever since. Ills fi st entrance into public life was in J uiuary, 1839 when he took his seat ns a | me,nh *r from Erie cou ity to which office he •v is re-elected the two lidlowiiig year*. His til ■lit*, integrity uud assiduous devo j boil to public business soon won lor him the i uitlitle ice of the House m an u lexam.iled | legree. It was a e minion remark umoag tle m cabers “if Fillmore says it i right we sill vote lor it.” The iu Mt important measures of u general nature that came up during his service in the j State Lc'islaluie was the lull to abolish lm | jiriHonm nit Ibr Debt. In behalf of that greal I m l philanthropic measure, Mr. Fillmore look a.i active port, urging with u nans weara ble arguments it* justice and expediency, and, is a member nt’ the committee ott the subject, j ii ling to perfect its del ills. That portion of j die bill relating to Justices’Courts was draft d hy him. the remainder being the work of | die Hon. Joint C.

In those days the business ol'the House it id debates were led by old experienced members —new one# unless they I e ijnv Ia wid -spread und almost national reputation, rarely taking an active and con spicuous part. Little chance, therefore was afforded him ns member of the opposition, i young und unassuming of displaying those ipi time- that so eminently lit lum tor lt-gixht live useful lies. But the school was one ad i mirably qualified to more Billy develope and I cultivate those powers which, under more fn- I vonblu tur uuun vv*e, have enabled bun to render such varied and important services to hi* country. As lie has ever done in all the stations he has filled, he discharged his duty wuth scrupulous fidelity, never omiting on nil proper occasions, any effort to advance the interest of his constituents and the country, and winning the respect and confidence of all. At the close of his term of service lie re sumed the practice of iiis profession, which he pursued with distinguished reputation and sucoes-i unttl. yielding to the public voice, he consented to become a candidate, mid was re j elected to Congress in the fall of 183 G. The remarks above made in relation to bis service in the 23d, Congress will measurably apply to his second term. Jacksonism and the Pet Bank system had in the march “progressive Democracy.” given place to Van Burenism and the Sub* I’reasury. It was hut another step towards the practical repudiation ol’ old republican principles, and an advance to the Locofoeoism ot the present day. In this Con gress Mr. Fillmore took a more active part than lie did during his first term and on the assembling ol’ the next Cos igress to which he was re-elected by a largely increased ma jority, lie was assigned a prominent place on what, next to that of Ways and Means, it was justly anticipated would become the most I important committee of the Housi—that on I elections. It. was in tins Congress that the famous contested New Jersey came up. It would swell this brief biographical sketch to t io great a length to enter upon the details of . that ease, and il is the less necessary to do so inasmuch as the circumstances of the gross I outrage, then perpetrated by a party calling i itsclt republic u>, and claiming to respect | State rights must yet dwell in the recollection of every reader. The prominent pari of which Mr. Fillmore took in that ease, iiis patient investigation of j j all its complicated, minute details, tlie clear j j convincing manner in which lie set forth the J facts the lofty nnd indignant eloquence with : which lie dersninred the meditated wrong, all strongly directed public attention to him as : oie ol the ablest men of that Congress dis- , Unguished ns it tv,is by the eminent ability I and statesmanship of many of its members. Public indignation was awakened hy the enor mity ol the outrage, and in that long cata logue ol abuses arid wrongs which roused a long suffering people to aetioa, anil resulted iu tlie signal overthrow of a corrirpl and inso lent dynasty in 1810, the New Jersey rase stood marked and conspicuous. O.i the assembling of the next Congress, to which Mr. Fillmore was re-elected by a in ijority larger than was ever before given in his district, lie was placed at tlie hen I of the committee on W ays and Means. The duties ot that station always ardousand responsible, were at that time peculiarly so. Anew Ad ministration had come into power and found public affairs in a state ol’ the greatest de rangement. Accounts had been wronglv i kept, peculationof every kind abounded ia ill- ] most every department of the Government. [ the revenue wns inadequate to meet the ordi- i nary expeases, the already I irge existing debt j was rapidly swelling in magnitude commerce j arid manulactures were depressed thecurreu- j cy was deranged, hanks were embarrassed j an.l general distress pervaded the community, j I'o bnag order, out of disorder to replenish the National Treasury ,to prov.de means that would enable the Government to meet the demands against it, arid to pay off tlie debt, to revive the industry of the country, and to restore its wonted prosperity; these were the tasks de volved jupon the Commit ee of Ways ad Means. To increase their difficulties, the minority, composed of that party that had i brought the Country aid Government i.tlo j such a condition, instead of aiding to repair ■ the evil they had done, uniformly opposed al- 1 most every means brought forward lor relief ‘ and too olten iheir unavailing efforts were j successfully aided by a treacherous Execu- ‘ live. But with energy and devotion to the I public weal, worthy of all admiration, Mr. ! Fillmore applied himself to the task, and sus tained by a majority wtiose enlightened pa- 1 triotism has rarely been equal le.l and never i surpassed, succeeded in its accomplishment. The measures he brought lor ward a id sus tained witii matchless ability, speedily re- ! lieved tlie Government from its embarrass ment, and have fully justified the most san guine expectations ol tlnjir beitigh influence upon the cou itry iu large. Anew anJ more ac mr.tte systemol keeping accounts render ing them clear and intelligule was i itrodu cJ. The favoritism and peculatio i waich ha I so long disgraced the department* u.ul plundered the Treasury, were checked hy the requisition of contract*. The credit o. j the Government wns restored ample in ans * were provided for the exigencies of the pubiie j s *rviee and the payment of the National I debt incurred by the Ibimer Administration, i Commerce and Manufactures revived and prosperity and hope once more smiled upon the land. The country hns too recently em erged from the disasters of Mr. Van Uuren’s j Administration—it yet too keenly feels the j suffering it then endued, and too justly ap- I predates the benificent and wonderful change j that has been wrought to render more than an allusion to these matters neeessnry. The lauji* of devising explaining sal defending me tsuras productive of such happy results wns thrown chiefly on Mr. Fillmore. He wis nobly sustained by his patriotic lellow Wings; but on him nevertheless, the main responsibility rested. Alter his loag and severe labors in the Com nittee roo a —labors sufficiently arduous to break down any but one ol’ an iro i co isti tution—sustained by a spirit that nothing I could conquer, he was required to give lusu i remilting attention to the business of the I House, to make any explanation that might be aske.l, and be re.idy with a complete and triumphant refutation of every eivn or objec- ! lio i the ingenious sophtstn of a factious mi nority could devise. All tiffs too, was requir ed to be done w.tii promptness, clearness, dig nity aoj go-id tcinjier. For the proper pnr lormtnce of these varied duties lew men are more happily qualified than Mr. Fillmore.

Cass, has b-;en the . friend and advocate of the Wilmot Proviso we 1 now give his celebrated letter to G -ri. Nichol son of Tenn. to show that he is still not to be relied upon on that subject—that while detach ed portions of the letter might mislead the casual observer into the belief that he is op posed to the Proviso ; yet that taken entire, jit must convince any man that Mr. Yancey was more than half right, when he pronounc ed him (Gen Cass) to be “an equivocal be trayer of Southern rights .” All we have to say, is read the letter and- look upon the next page r ir the proofs of our assertion. From the Washington Union. Washington Dec. 34 1847. D -ar Sir ; I have received your letter and shall an.-wer it, as frankly as it is written. You ask me whether l am in favor of the acquisition of Mexican territory and wlmt are my sentiments with regard to the Wilmot | Proviso ? 1 have so often and so expliciti-iy stated my views of the first question in the Senate, that it seems almost unnecessary to repent them here. \ you request it, however, 1 shall brief (ly give them. i think, then, that nopeace should be grant ed to Mexico, till a reasonal indemnity is ob •ained lor the injuries which she has none us. The territorial extent of this indent uty is, in the first instance, a subject ol executive con sideration. There the constitution has plan-d it. and there lam willing to leave it; not only because I have full confidence in its ju dicious exercise, but because, in the ever va , l ying circumstances of a war, it would be in discreet by a public declaration to commit the ! country to any line of indemnity which might j otherwise he enlarged, as the obstinate injus tice ot’ the enemy prolongs the contest with its loss of blood ami treasure. It appears to me that the kind of metaphy sical magnanimity, which would reject all in demnity at the close of a bloody and expensive war. broutrlit on hy a direct attack upon our troops by the enemy, and preceded hy a suc cession ol unjust acts for a series of years, is unworthy of the age in which we live as it is ri-volti ig to the common sense and practice of mankind. It would conduce but little to our future security or indeed to our present repu tation. to declare that we repudiate an expec tation of compensation from the Mex can gov ernment. and are fighting, not lor any practi cal result but for some vague, perhaps some philanthropic object, which escapes my p n etration, uud must be defined by t.,o*c w,.0 m - sume this new principle of national n.ier-co .- manication. All wars are to he deprecated, as well hy the statsman ashy the philanthro pist. They are great evils, but there are great er evils than these, mid submission to injustice is among them. Tlie nation, which would re fuse to defend its rights and its honor, when as sailed. would soon have neither to defend ; * and when driven to war, it is not by profes sions of disinterestedness and declarations ol magnanimity, that its rational objects can be best obtained, or other nations taught a lesson ol torli arance—the strongest security for per manent peace. We are at war with Mexico, and its vigorous prosecution is the surest means of its speedy termination, and ample indemnity the surest guarantee again t the recurrence of su.-li it justice as provoked it. The Wilmot Proviso tins hcco beibre the cou itry some time. It has been repeatedly discussed in Congress, and by the pub i ■ press, l 1 am strongly impressed with the o[ inio i that a great change has been going on iu tile pub lic mind upon this subject—in ray own as well as others ; and that doubts are resolviur ihem selves into convictions that the principle it involves should be kept out of tlie national legislature and left to the people of the con federacy in their respective local govern ments. f lie whole subject is a comprehensive one, and fruitful of important consequent! s. It would be ill-timed to discuss it here. 1 shall not assume that responsible task, but shall confine myself to such general view* as are necessa ry lo the fair exhibition of iu) opinio.is. We m iy well regret the existence of-lave ry in the Southern States, and wish t. ey had been s ived from its introduction. But there *t in a ii not by the act of the presentgener m.o.i; n::d we must and al with it us a great practical question, involving the most innnien tnus consequences. We have neither the right nor the power to touch it where it exists and if we had both, their exercise, by any means herelolore suggested, might lead to result# wiiich no wise man would willingly encoun ter, and which no good man could contemplate without anxiety. The theory of our government pre-suppo scs tiiut its various members have reserved to themselves the regulations of all sulij -els re lating to what may be termed their internal police. They are sovreign within their boun daries except in those cases where they have surrendered to the general government a por tion ol’ their rights m order to give effect to the objects of the Union, whether these con cern lureigu nations or tile several Stales themselves.—Local institutions, if 1 may so speak, whether they have reference to slavery or to any other relations, domestic or public, are left to local authority, either original or derivative. Congress has no right to say that there shall be slavery in New-York, or that that there shall be no slavery m Georgin; nor is there any other human power, but the people of those States, respectively, which can change the relations existing therein ; and they can say, if they will, w - will have slavery in the Firmer, and we will abolish it iu the latter. lit various respects the Territories differ from the o tales. Home of their rights are inchoate, and they do not possess the peculiar a tributes ui sovreignty. Their relation to the general government is very imperfectly defined by the constitution und it will be Iff in iff upon exam ination, that in that instrument the ooly grant ol’ power concerning them is conveycil i.i the phrase, “ Congress shall have tlte power to dispose of and inakeuli needful rule* und reg ulation* respecting tlie territory and othi r property b -longing to the United Slate*.” Certainly this phraseology is very loose, if it were designed to include in the grant tlis whole power of legislation over persons as well as tilings. The expression tlie •• territory und other property,” fairly construed, relates to the public- lauds, us such to arsenals, duck-yards, torts, ships, nnd all the various kinds oi prop erty. winch the United Ntates tuny anti must possess. But surely the simple authority to dispose of and regulate these, does not extend to the unlimited power of legislation; to the passage ol’ ull laws in the most general accept monos tlie word ; which by the bye, ie carefully ex cluded from the sentence. And, indeed if this were so, it would render unnec ~ury another provision us the constitution, whim gntuleUt Congress the power to legislate, with toe con sent ot’ the Nlutes respectively, over ull places purchased for the “ erection of tort* mugu /.mi's,’arsenals, dock-yards Ac.”—These be ing the “ property” of the United Ntutes, if I the power to make “ needful rules nu t regu lations concerning” them includes the gener al power of legislation, then the grant of nu -1 thority to regulate “ the territory ami olla-r prujierty of the United Hales,” is unlimited, wherever subject* are Brand fir its operation, and its exercise needed no auxiliary provision. If, on the other hand, it docs not im aide such power of legislation over the “ other prop erty” of the United States, thru it dot s not include it over “ their terrj'ary,” for the sum*
