marks in relation in the policy of the Adminis- j

reasons which itidoce that journal to bestow
linl a qualified approbation on the policy of a
Southern [ !! ! J President on a great question

interests of all suctions, so far as connected with
the Union :?Col, Telegraph.
" The President mid Cabinet on the New
Territories and Slavery. ?Gen. Taylor's special
message in answer to Mr. Venabie's fi?hing
resolution respecting the agency o the ad i
ministration in the organization of California, i
&cM receives very stiong commendations from ;
the great majority of the journals. The Tribane
i* not among them. What is said with
reference to slavery, iioii intervention, and j
State organization, is as unexceptionable as we :
luil reason in expect? in li'i-tl, is tin! only view
of the inn ter which (lie Pies dent. in his crilicn!
position, could lake witliotil invnkiu_r, need,
icssly and fruitlessly, a tornado. If fie had favored
the Proviso, llit: South would have revolted
; il lie had favored the introduction o! slavery
into the Territories, or the claim of indefeasible
ri^ht to take slavery there set tiji hy the Pmpagut.aists,

as he shall sustain hy uniitaiy Inree the people
of New .Mexico against the claim pressed with ;

ner dotniiiion and li<-r slavery/'
What matters it, then, (asks the Telegraph,) j
whether the \V iluiot Proviso be passed or not, !
or whether the President shall veto it or not''!
ViiJ yet, because letter-writers speculate on ;
the late of that measure, and assure us that it j
cannot prevail, we are called upon to abandon
our opposition, to slop agitation, and to receive
a< a giacious concession, the uffer ol so:ne ol ,
our Northern friends, that they will not iusi?i j
on the Proviso in a case where they can attain
ail th irt'tids without that measure, and by u I
violation ol'the Constitution differing in nature,

CLAY'S RESOLUTIONS.
To-day we publish Mr. Clay's Resolutions.?
The lather of compromises" is again on the turf;
but far belter had he retired while laurels of honorable
glory pressed his brow?when forgetting
sell, free from renegade principle, and an office
seeking mania, lie stood forth tlie proud champion
of a nation's rights. 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.
Mr. Clay seems to have a mania for compromises,
but the South has too much at stake to gratify
his desire at the present for compromisical
fame. What has the South to rain from a compromise
? We will give ? case in point. Suppose
you and your neighbor bad lields joining?be was j
to i oine into your fie'd and mark off a quantity of J
it nlift aa?. " Vntl shill nnt have lliC use of tins." I
?alter Home grumbling, however, he says "you
may take a part of it, and use it"?a part of that
which is already yours,?would you yield, and vassal-like
take tli" moiety lie offers you of your own
properly? "If you would, the South is not your
homo. You are an Arnold at West Point?a Gcnrgey
in the Hungarian phalanx of hemes! The ;
day of compromises has passed, fur the South.?
The day for the assertion of her rights lias come.

THE SABBATH DAY.

two tlion :tiid miles ?>( road, upon which the la j
borers thereon iMijoy ih*? rest which the Crea- ;
tor intended for tin* human family. 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. ? Columbia Telegraph.
We do not apprehend that succeeding administrations
will have cause to make any change in
our Postmaster. It is certain they will not so long
as the present incumbent lives, and plays his
Guw-wcJI.

of the nearest star, it must he distant from

to its apparent diminution, it would be distant

I rngua question. The United Service (Jazotle,
j wo may remark, takes occasion to raiterate
the announcement it tria*lo a few weeks since,
t!iat Rear-Admiral llnrn. Commander-in-Chief
in the Pacific, had been ordered to proceed from
Val| araiso, with all tin; men of war he could
collect, to Nicaragua, and place his squadron nt
the disposal ot the British Charge d'Affaires,
for the pn lection of Rrilish interests against
the designs and encroachments of the Yankees
in that quarter. The same journal now stales
that Vice Admiral Lord Dundonald, Commander
in-Chief in tlip West Indies, will also as*
semblc all the ships lie can got together on that
station and proceed to the .Mosquito shore with
the same view.
This does not look much like peace with the
United States.
Mechanics wanted West,?The Rates,
villo (Ark.) Kajjle says that place stands in
need <if a tin and coppersmith, saddle and harness
maker, house, sign and ornamental painter,
silversmith and chair maker. The re is also a
demand for more bricklayers, stone masons,
carpenters, shoemakers, blacksmiths house garners,
and a barber.

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.

It is a most ingenious piece ol mechanism,
