To the Whigs of Ohio.
Fellow Citizens Frm the relations
existing between us, we take the liberty
of addressing you, especially as the con
dition of affairs at the present time seems
to demand that we should take counsel
together. And in what we have to say,
we wish it to be clearly ana dutinaiy
understood that we are not assuming to
ourselves authority to speak for the par
ty to which we are attached, but it is rath
er to be regarded as the expression of
our own individual views; which the
Whigs are free to commend and adopt,
or condemn and reject as to them seem fit.
Itis a matte rofjustprtde.that our party
has al way s contended for princi pies; great
and fundamental principles; which we
believe to be intimately connected with
the welfare, prosperity and continuance
of our Government. And in this respect
the Whig party has not changed; our
principles are the same for which we con
tended in the last Presidential canvass;
we are still in favor of a 1 arm; we oppo e
a Sub-treasury; we deprecate the union of
the sword aud the purse in the hands of
one man; we would curb executive usur
pations and entrenchments; and we would
restrain the abuse of the veto power,
which enables the President to defeat the
expressed will of a majority of the rep
resentatives of the people.
We havo no sympathy with that selfish,
narrow-minded, short-sighted policy,
which, while with a profuse hand it lav
ishes millions upon the seaboard and has
literally dotted the Atlantic coast with
artificial harbors, breakwaters, and light
houses, can see nothing worthy of protea
tion and encouragement in our immense
inland commerce; carried on for thousands
of miles by means of our noble lakes and
rivers; on whose bosom floats annually
millions of property; on whoso waters are
exposed the lives of hundreds of thou
sands of our fellow-citizens.
The Whigs opposed the annexation of
Texas, and forewarned the country a
eainst the consequences. Their predic'
tions have been fulfilled and become a
part of our history. After the rejection
of the Texas treaty, it is well known by
what extraordinary and unusual means,
annexation was brought about; and with
what indecent baste the door of recon
ciliation was closed in the face of Mexico.
For the motives which actuated the ad-
vocatcs ot annexation, we oner me ioi-
owing explanation upon high locofoco
authority: Mr. Benton, in a speech de
livered atBourneville,Missouri,July 17th,
1844, snvs:
Disunion was a primary object of the
treat u; an intrigue for tub Presidency
was its secondary object: land speculation
andstockjobbtns were auxiliary ohjects;
and the four objects together brought it
forward at the time and in the manner in
which it enmc forward, just forty days be
fore the Baltimore Convention, and at the
exact moment to mix the Presidential
election and to make dissension, discord
and mischief between the North and the
South."
War with its enormous expenses and
its ever attendant train of evil, is upon
us. as the natural and foreseen result of
annexation. What are to bo the final
consequences, is given to no man to know,
They are shrouded in the' impenetrable
future; but to us they seem to forebode
nothing but darkness, imminent danger,
and disaster to this Union.
The causes of this war, and the man
ner in which it was brought about, are
well known to every intelligent person
And while we yield to none in love of
country and a concern for its true glory
and honor, yet in view of all the facts, we
have no hesitation in saying that we be
lieve the war to have been unnecessary
and impolitic unnecessary, because in
this enlightened and christian ago, war
should be the last and ultimate resort of
nations, and only, after all means to avert
t have been tried in vain: because our
differences might, and ought to have been,
settled without it. It was unnecessary,
tor we had much to risk aud nothing to
gain by an appeal to arms.
Impolitic, because Mexico was a weak
and feeble power, struggling into nation
ality modeled after our own republican
nstitutious; and adding to the examples ot
man s capacity for self-government. We
are great and powerful, and could with
out any abatement of our dignity, or risk
of tarnishing the national honor, afford to
be generous and magnanimous; she was
our natural ally against the powers of En-
rope; and instead ot converting her into
an enemy, we should have retained her
as a friend. Wherein she was weak, we
should have strengthened and sustained
her; wherein wavering, encouraged and
confirmed; wherein ignorant, enlightened
and instructed her.
Tho war is impolitic, for our true poli
cy, upon which we have hitherto acted,
is to cultivate a gooa understanding ann
friendly relations with all nations. Be
cause in the appointments to office which
it renders necessary, it enlarges the pow
ers of executive patronage, already too
great, and now exercising controlling
and dangerous influence in out govern
ment; and in the hands of an ambitious
and unscrupulous man it may become a
most potent engine of corruption. The
war is impolitic on account ot tne great
debt it brines upon us, already amounting
to untold millions. For the great loss of
life it has occasioned and will occasion;
in the various forms of diseaso incident to
an unfriendly and pestilential climate
death has reaped a rich and abundant
harvest; and the blood of our gallant coun
try has been poured out like water, on
the barren sands and rocky wastes oi
Mexico.
It is fast making our people restless
amid the common avocations and peace
ful arts of industry, and rendering them
impatient of civil life; it tends to convert
us into a nation covetous of land greedy
for the ocquisitlon of territory lusting
for power and conquest thirsting after
military glory when all history teaches
us that wars are demoralizing and cor
opting to a nation, and have ever been
unfriendly and dangerous to republics.
Shall we suffer the teachings and war
nings of history to pass us unheeded byt
Rather let us act the part of wise men.
and profiting by the experience of the
past, so shape our own course as to avoid
the fatal errors which eventually blotted
out from the history of the earth the
names of nations.
It has been humiliating and mortifying
to listen to the different pretexts that
have been assigned as the causes of this
war, while the true ones has been sedu
lously kept out of sight; prominent among
which was the purpose of extending the
slave power. In view of the rapid and
alarming encroachments of the Executive
power, when we have seen whole pro
vinces of a foreign country virtually an
nexed to our Union by the mere proc-
uiiiaunns or military commanders, and
he will of One Man plunging us into a
war contrary to the wishes of the people;
is it not high time, Fellow Citizens, to
pause, consider and reflect Let us ask,
whither are we tending? wherefore do we
wage war? It may be answered to
'conquer a peace." Do we really want
peace! Then why not negotiate! Is
here no way to obtain peace but bvthe
force of arms! Must we drive to des
peration, and take away all means of re
sistance from our feeble adversary Do
we wage war tor tndemnityl Mexico
was unable to pay tho paltry debt she al
ready owed to us. Will she be the more
able after wo have forced her into an ex
pensive and destructive war! Have we
indeed become so mercenary, as to be
willing to barter the precious blood of our
countrymen for sordid gold!
1 or indemnity f yes, that indemnity to
be derived from desecrating the temples
aud robbing the altars ot religion. Infa
mous proposition unworthy ot a pro
Here this war to be just and proper is it
not eur duty as good citizens to main
tain it and yield it a hearty suyport! If,
en the other band, we believe it to be
wrong, and improper, let us say so, and
by all lawful and proper means endeav
or to bring it to a close. Let us speak
out like men--like Freemen, as we are.
You are not slaves, that ye should fear
to express your opinions and honest con
victions! Shall the people be afraid of
their rulers, the work of their own hands,
the agents to whom they have delegated
power which they can withdraw at pleas
ure! Let them speak out fearlessly and
unitedly, and they will be heard and
heeded. Their voice will be as omnipo
tent as was that which made the guilty
Felix tremble upon the judgment seat.
Be not detered by denunciations. It has
everbeen a trick of power, threugh the
medium of a venal and hirelingpw, to
slander and abuse, and attempt to render
odious those that are obnoxious to it. It
is thus that corrupt and fawning para
sites earn their right to the crumbs and
scraps that fall from their master's table.
A word on the subject of the Presi
dential candidates: Far be it from us to
debar any maa, even if we had the pow
er, from aspiring to the highest offices
within the gift of the people. Neither
would we make military success, howev
er signal, or military achievement how
ever brilliant, a test of qualification. And
while we condemn and reject no man, so
neither do we propose any mLn in con
nection with the Presidency. We are
pledged to no one we are committed to
no one. We do not think the present a
proper time to select a candidate. Let
us re-assert our principles, and declare
the policy upon which we intend to act
We can afford to wait; for the Whig par
ty is not so few in number or so poor in
talent, that it cannot, at the proper time.

Then abide the hour and the man.
In conclusion, we have a word" for the
ear of the conservative portion of those
who have stood politically opposed to us.
We charge that the causes which led
to the War with Mexico, were conceiv

power, and for perpetuating human slave

One f the roost remarkable inventions
of the age, is that of Mr. Thomas Blan
chard of Boston for turning Busts, in a
lathe. The art of turning cylinder, balls,
and anything of uniform circular form, in
the common lathe, has long been pursu
ed by ordinary turners, and is familiar to
everybody. But the idea of turning in a
lathe, articles deviating from circular
ferms. appears, at first blush, preposter
ous and absurd. And yet precisely such
a machine has been invented for turning
forms of various irregular shapes, such as
gun-barrels and gun-stocks, spokes for
wheels and shoe lasts, wig blocks, tackle
blocks, and last, not least in importance,
busts of the human head! Machines fur
all these purposes have been invented by
Mr. Blanchard, and one of the latter de
scription is now in full and successiul
operation in Bosten.
The process of casting busts in a mould
after a mpdel, has long been practiced,
and they may be produced ot lead, brass,
iron, bronze, or ony other rnaieaoie bud
etance, as readily as pewter spoons, or
bullets, may be cast in a mould. But the
idea of turning out busts from beautiful
marble, by machinery and steam power,
in anv Quantities and various izns. and
with the most perfect accuracy, after a
single model, is truly astonishing, and
would never have been dreamed of but
by a creative genius like that of Thomas
Blanchard. Imagine, gentle reader, a
steam eugine, in rapid motion, whirling
round, and turning out the human head
and face divine, with nese, chin, lips,
forehead, eyes, ears, neck, breast and
shoulders, of perfect proportion and accu
racy to nature! Imagine such an eccen
tric machine, and you will have some idea
of the wonderful stretch of invention
which conceived and contemplated such
a faculty.
Such a wonderful machine is now in
successful operation in Boston, and if any
patron of genius, or any inquiring mind,
or any person, will take the trouble to
search, he can see a bustoi uaniei w co
ster rapidly revolving in one end of a
lathe, and at he ether he will see fact
simile heads of 'the'great expounder, of
any desired sizes, turned out trem mar
ble. by machinery.
When one of these heads was present
ed to Mr. Webster, and he was inform
ed by what process it was produced, be
exclaimed, in astonishment, that it was
the 'most wonderful invention of the age.'
WH he mipht: for who can imagine such
a curious art! Description is out of the
question. He who doubts, or would un
derstand it, must see for himself.
1 have seen it, and there it is, open to
the inspection of any respectable inquir
er. Such an art was reserved foi the in
ventive genius of America, io the nine
teenth century.
Bust s of his honor Jud ge "Wood bury, of
the Supreme Court of the United States,
have also been turned from the same
lntni. and those who are familiar with the
fare of the learned Judge, can attest tne
accuracy of the likeness. What is equal
ly curious, busts and cameos may be
turned, after one and the same model, in-
in ImWnnnna of anv sizes, from a ColoS-
sal bust, to a miniature face suitable for a
lady's brooch.
Let us no w pass from the busts of these
distinguished men, to the unostentatious
gentleman, who was tho inventor of the
machine. ,
Thomas Blanchard was born in Sutton.

developed. At me age or mirwou, no
made, net only with rapidity, but of su
perior finish, uniformity, and value, to
those made by manual labor, and he se
cured a patent for the invention. This
remarkable improvement attracting the
attention ot tne government, he was en
gaged to put up one of his machines at
tne united btates Arsenal at Springfield,
Massachusetts, and afterwards another at
Harper's Ferry, Maryland.
When his apparatus was first started
at Springfield, the workmen came around
to witness the experiment. On its suc
cessful operation, one of the workmen re
marked to another, "this man has upset
our art." One of the gun-stock makers
said "that he could not upset him,
for the stranger could not turn a gun
stock." Blanchardsaid that 'he would try.'
Nothing daunted he set his wits at
work to invent the machine for turninir
so irregular a form as a gun-stock! Af
ter trying various experiments, and ap
proximating to his object, he finally suc
ceeded in making a hths to turn nutgun
stocks with accuracy and facility, by
steam power! ile secured a patent fur
the invention, and it is now in successful
operation at Springfield, and Harper's
Ferry, and it has literally "upset the art
of making gun-stocks by the slow process
of manual labor.
This curious machine was at once ap
plied to making shoe lasts.bat blocks,
tackle blocks, and all similar utensils;
and while it put an end to the tedioua
process o, making such articles by hand
laDor, it produced tar more perfect specimens.
In 1825, Mr. Elanchard applied his
mind to locomotive power, and construc
ted a steam carriage for common roads.

would go forward and backward, and
turn corners. He applied it te the turn
outs, or "switches," now in common use.
He secured a patent as usual, and as ear
ly as 186 submitted his plans for a rail
read to the Legislature of Massachusetts,
and obtained the favorable report of a
committee of tbe house. His ideas, how
ever, being then generaly deemed vision
ary, his schemes proved abortive.
He next submitted his plans to the Le
gislature of New York, and applied for
a charter for a Railroad from Albany to
Schenectady. But Gov. Clinton was ao
much engrossed with his "Big Ditch" aa
to prevent any attention to such visiona
ry schemes as a railroad.
About tbe same time he invented an
improvement in steamboat machinery, to
enable boats of small draft to ascend the
rapids of rivers, and his plans is now in
general ise, for ascending rivers of nar
row, shallow, and rapid channels. Iiis
boat was the first to ascend the Connect
icut, from Hartford to Bellows Falls, to
the surprise of those on that river, who
bad never seen a steamboat.
Such are among the valuable inven
tions of Thomas Blanchards, a farmer's
sen, whose only means oi education wast
the common country schools, in a seclu
ded part of the country, at the close of
the last century. Like all other invent
ors and innovators, he had to contend a
gainst ignorance and prejudice. At the
very moment when he was on the eve ot
producing roost curious and useful inven
tions; he was ridiculed by upstarts as
crack-brained enthusiast. More fortun
ate, however than most inventors, his par
severance has been crowned with suc
cess, and he still lives to enjoy the rich
fruits of his genius and labors. ' '
certain the crisis demands wisdom and
firmness.

invented a machine for paring apples,
whirh nnerated well, and was much used
in the village where he then lived.
Hii naxt invention was tnat oi a ma
chine for making tacks. At the age of
fourteen he was employed by nis eiuer
brother with other boys, to manufacture
tacks. The mode for operation was,
after cutting thin plate of iron into mi
nute' particles, er points, of suitable size
for tacks, to take up each one separately
between the fingers, and hold it in ajvice
till a b bw was given by a hammer, ior
making a flat head. This tedious pro
cess of making tacks was tho only one
then known. After working all day long
it required much time to ascertain, by
actual counting, how many tacks were
made by each operative, to know how
much each had earned. After a day's
work, it was rather too much to go iuto
this cotriDutation, and Blanchard seon in
vented a machine to ascertain the num
ber with exactness. This consisted sim
nlv of a little wheel turning one cog eve
ry time the hammer finished alack, while
- i .i i
a small bell anuounceu eacn inousanu
completed.
But this counting apparatus was a mat
ter of mere temporary expediency, to
save time of counting at night, tne tacKs
made in the course of the day. ns won

any quantities, by machinery, aiioi

1812, be produced a machine that would

of more perfect shape and finish, of head
and ooint. were produced, than had ov
er before been made my manual labor.
Securing a patent, be sold the right for

Soon after he turned his attention to
making gun-barrels. It was at that time
an irksome process of manual labor, to
nroduce a common gun-barrel. Tbe art
of turning such an instrument, was then
unkown. Mr. Blanchard set his wits to
work to make a power machino to turn
out a whole barrel, from muzzle to breach.
It was an easy process to turn tbe muz-
ale end, but at the lower part, mo ma

The Ynnkec Paddy.
We clip the following from an interes
ting and graphic letter to the Boston
Courier by a traveling correspondent in
Vermont:
Four miles this side of Windsor, we
left the main road, near the village of
Hartlan Four Corners, and stopped to
ee the operation of the famous "Yankee
Paddy," as it is called, or steam excava
tor, a machine which has been invented
to dig away the hills in order to make a
track for the railroad. It will not cut in
to the solid rock; but it cuts the hardest
earth, shovels up the gravel, and fills tho
carts which are prepared to carry away
the same. It is something on the princi
ple of the dredging machine, which is
employed to clean out our docks. It con
sists, in the first place, of a small engine
f course; then it has erected a large
crane, to which is slung their iron shovel.
The shovel is built in the shape of a coal
hod, capable of holding at one time a
cart load; this crane swings round on a
pivot, the shovel, at the same time being
lowered down to tho proper levei oi tne
road; when it is swung round into tho
richt position, and has touched bottom,
it begins again to ascend, but in an in
clined direction, digging into the hill side
and filling itself as it goes up, just as you
would scoop up coal with a hod; again it
swings round back again, until it arrives
at a position directly over a dirt cart,
placed upon the track, when the bottom
falls down upon a hinge, the contents
fall out, filling the car, and the bottom
closing up the whole, crane and shovel
r. . . .i I'M "l mi
swing again round to tne nui siuo. l uis
operation goes on for hour after hour,
without ceasing, except to wait for empty
carts to return from deposilingtheir loads.
The regularity, precision and steadiness
of the operation are inconceivable to one
who has.never seen the machine. One
of the party timed it 8nd found that the
whole process oi taxing ujj "" "
emptying it into the cart or car, averaged
twenty-three secondsl So much for hu
man ingenuity.
iy The Pulaski (Tenn.) Courier.says,
that a Mr. Keroheval, residing near that
place wss killed by bis son, a few dsys
since. The old man wanted some corn
from a crib, which tho son hsd locked and
refused to open, and when the father at.
tempted to force the lock tha son struck
bim a blow on tho head with a hatclist,
of which ha died.
