No ptcin of praise will find an echo in the patriot's heart lor hiin who has thus dastardly hlntlod, hy his late acts, front the rich tablet of his life, the glorious acts of better days, that rendered the name of Henry Clay a watchword ol Atneric i The first resolution, it will be ubserved, endorses the ruinous and fallacious doctrine of the President relative to the admission of California. The second starts with the utterly false assertion that ' slavery does not exist in any of the territory acquired hy the IJ. Slates from Mexico," and concludes with the same endorsement of the Prcsi- ! dent's recommendation. His resolutions likewise refer to slavery in the District of Columbia, and their effect, in that re sport, if carried out, would bave the Fame bearing j on the District that the Wilmot Proviso would on \ ihe States?that is, render slavery worthless, and eventually destroy it.

The South ! Carolina Rail Road Company ought nut to hp deaf to the remonstrances which poured in up- j on the Legislature, from almost every district j in I he State, during the last session. We copy the above from the South Carolinian, j and concur most, heartily with the sentiments there- | in contained. We think it a gross violation of the moral law that the .Sabbath day should be used for the transaction of ordinary business. This day has been sot apart and hallowed as a day of rest, and imn lias no right to arrogate to himself more than his due. Certainly, if we allow our railroads to pursue the same routine of business 011 the Sabba'h day as on other days, we make the divine law of none effect. Public opinion (of which law is only anther name) ought to correct this evil. It is certainly not a day of rest to those engaged in conducting the business of these Roads. Conversing recently with a gentleman from Georgia upen this subject, he assured us, that in his State, on a road of Home four hundred miles in length, where the cars were not allowed to run on Sunday, there had not occurred a single accident of a se ious nature. Would that the samo could be said of the South Carolina Railroad. A writor in the Verrury remark*. It is a matter of history, that the city of Charleston, in all 1 ho changes that have taken place elsewhere. Ins never had but two Postmasters since the organization of our Government. No wonder that such should be the case, when successive Administrations of our country have had the judgment to secure and continue the services of two such reliable public servants as a Bacot and a Iluger." We have in our office here a good Postmaster and a good Assistant, both faithful, prompt and accommodating, and we hope the office will long continue as it is?the Glass unbroken, and the Wood in good preservation. ?

In this wheel a very limited, hut positively, actual power is obtained ?a self cicated power, not alone capable of moving foe wheel itself, hut ul driving machinery attached?limited and delicate iu the wheel before u>, it is tine, hut positive, tangible and real. The power obtained is the excess of power of a longer over a shorter lever, acted upon by the force ol gravity.? I lie wheel has seven levers or anus rest, ing nearly upon the miter rim ot the wheel, and seven others connected with these. Starling from the vertical point, each of these descends iiy it own gravity a short space, throwing out an extended lever some distance beyond the jjeiiphery. Three of these levers acting at once, each with its adjunct or extended lever, on the descending side of the wheel, create the motion. By a nice but simple niechinical arrangement, these levers, as they successively pass the nadir I or bottom part of the wheel, are lidded within : the air of I he weeol, and their lever power l?e. , ing thus lessened, are easily ra r e.l to the ver. i ticnl point, to again act as the motive power. It is a most ingenious piece ol mechanism, and will well repay a vis.t. Mr. Uicliter dtj signs constructing a wheel on a larger scale, I the better to test the piaciical value of his in? viMilion, and has models and plans already prepared. To enable him Jo carry out his design : he proposes lo exhibit in this city, in a day or j two, his beautiful model, which has cost him i years of patient labor and study, and exhausted ; his menus, to peilect.
