’5A GCRE-AT -INVEN'l‘lON-—ANASTATIC
PRINTING.
VVe finzl in the N. Y. Journal of Com-
merce, a description of the recent invention
‘ in Encrland, which bids fair to revolutionize
D .
several branches of the art connected
with engraving and_ printing. -A patent
having been secured -to tltal cot_mlry_. 8 Cle-
scription of that invention I3 given ‘_in
t-he Lon-lon Art-Union, for February, which
may be found below. A letter from Wiley
&. Putnam says the invention is even more
wonderful.and certainly more important. '-lltm
that of re-producing line engravings, as de-
scribed iu the January number of the same
Journal. The writer having desired a copy
to be made of a page ofa newspaper. with
three illustrations on wood, the inventor en-
gfnvpd the page, type, cuts and all. and gave
him six copies in less than ten minutes! the
zinc plate thus engraved being capable of
producing 20 000 improssions. and then of
being re-engraved ad infinitum. Thus an
octave volii me, with wood or steel engravings
to any extent. may be produced in two or
three days. or less; and hundreds of thou
sands struck off, equal in all respects to the
original. Tho importance ofthis great dis-
covery can’ scarcely be overrated.it_is nextio
that of printing itself. Stereotyping will
now be entirely suspended. The new pro-
-cess is infinitely cheaper. more simple. anrl
more permanently effective. The Ait-Uun-
ion describes it as follows:
“The principal merits claimed by the pro-
pi-ii-iors of this patent are, in the first place
their method of repeating, in l-:~=.v relief,
(soincthiiig like a lithographic surface) the
tracery of an engraved wood block or cop-
per plate,in such ti manner as imtpediato.-ly to
yield impressions which are not many way
to be distinguished from those drawn ‘from
the original engraved surface. This is ef-
fected bv means of acids. diluted to various
dcgreesiofstrength, which act upon those
parts of the plates remaining unprotected by
the ink, and so leaving the printing surface
very slightly in relief. ;Anothe,i' chiefmerit
of tlieirivention is the successful provision
against the spreading ofthe ink under any
degree of pressure. whereby the finest .lII)€S
and sharpest edges are repeated with singu
lar precision. Another extraordinary result
o.l the invention is the restoration of the an-
cient or injured engravings or etchings-—
ihoi is if an engraving has been injur+d——
not. be it understood as regards the paper,
but faded through carelessness, cg dv faced by
accident—sucli engravings can be perfectly
restored, by having every line and touch, re-
fres_l.ed with new ink, so as to give the
work with all its details. as if fresh from the
wood or copper. -
To describe briefly the preparation of a
piaie or cylinaer, let _us suppose a_ newspa-
per about to be reprinted by this means.
The sheetis first moistened with dilluted
acid and placed bi-twi-en sheets of blotting
paper, in order that the superfluous mois-
ture may be absorbed. The ink neutralizes
the acid, which is pressed out from the blank
gpnceg only, and etcht-s them away. In all
cases where lfle letter press is outofdate. or
not perhaps older thin a year, a few min-
utes suffice for this purpose. The paper is
then carefully placed upon the plate with
which the letter press to be transferred its in
immediate contact. and the whole passed
under the press. on removal from which, and
on carefully disengaging the paper, the
letters are found to reverse on the plate,
which is then rubbed with a preparation of
gum, afu-¥|‘ t»,-iii.-h the letters rec-ive an’addi-
tion of ink, which is iminediately icorpora-
{ed with that by which they are already form-
ed. These operations are effected in a few
minutes. The surface of the place around
the letters is bitten in a very slight degree
by the acid, arid on application of the ink is
rejected by the zinc. and received, only ‘by
the letters. which are charged with’ ink--by"
the common roller used in hand printing.
Each lettergarne from the press as ifit had.
been imprinted by type metal-_; and the,cop-
ies are lac similir-s which cannot be distin-
guished from the original sheet.”
“OLD FEDERALIS M."
‘ The old federal party ‘died out’ with -the last
generation as every body knows. and its
fragments united with the existing parties;
the more patriotic portion" with the_Whigs—
the monarchists and mere spoils men with
the loco focos. The old democratic party
was split up in a similar manner, the better
portion uniting with the Whig.s; the disor-
ganizers and jacobins with the lucofocos.
The latter portion have become leaders in
the locofoco ranks and'are among the most
destructive of that party. Isaac Toucey,
whom ihe Hartford Times denounced in
I823. as a Federalist o_f tltefirst water. is
now the locofoco candidate for Governor of
Connecticut. But the greatest triumph of
“Old Fe.der.-ilism” is in the appointment of
-James Buchanan as Mr. Polk's Prime Min-
ister, or Secretary of State. He is the gen-
tleman, who it is well known bitterly oppos-
ed the republican administration of Madison
during the lute vyai-—~:vho delived an oration
against the war in which he declared that
"zfhe fltov-gkt he had a. drop of democratic
blood in his min: lie would let it out!“
The man is now the leader of the self-styled
democratic party in the United States ! Think

Bred among slaves I regarded them with
‘indifference. seeing no departure from inor-
als or economical progress in the tenure.
The emancipation movement about I830
affected me as it did most persons at the time;
and I felt some new and pleasing emotions
springing up in my bosom when I had rt’-
solved. in common with my lamented broth-
er, to liberate my Slaves. I authorized him
to put my name to the Emancipation Socie-
ty formed about that time in Mercer County.
In the same year I went to Yale College, in
it Free State. I was not blind, and there-
fore saw II people living there luxuriously.

ed the high road to famine and the aims

habitanis rose up__ in the morning, passed
through ‘all the busy strife of the day, and
lay down again at night in quiet and securi-
ty, and not 8 single. police officer was any
where to be seen. There were more than
five hundred young men congregated from
all clinics, of various habits and temperin-
ments, in the quick blood of youth and all
conquering passion, and there was not found
in all the city, so far as the public were aware.
a single woman so fallen as to demand a less
price for her love than honorable marriage.
A gray-haired Judge of seventy years and
more, in a lifetiine'ofservice had pronoun-
ced sentence cfdeath upon but five criminals
‘in a whole State, and three of_ these Wt re
brought down forum by intemperance. I
had been taught to regard Connecticut as a
land of wooden nuimegs and leather pump-
without panpers, and a people where no man
was to be found who could not write his
name and read his laws and his Bible.-
These were strange things; but far more
strange, passing strange will it be, Kentuck-
iansl if you shall not come to the same
conclusion to \\‘l’lIf.’I) I was compt-lled——that
liberty, religion and education were the cause
ofall these things. and the true foundation of
individual happiness and national glorv. 'In
I835 I introduced a Common School Bill
into the House of R--pri-sentatives of Ken-
tucky; it was lost. In I838 I had the-
pleasure of voting for the present Common
School law, in common with a great majori
ty of my cnmpeers. Before I840. I was
convince d that universal education in a Slavi-
State. was impossible! --Whilst I now write,
the eight hundred thousand dollars set aside,
from I.-‘.--.-_ proceeds of the sale of the public
lands, for Common Schools, surreptuoiisly
appropriated to the Internal Improvements
confirm my conclusion. There is not a sin
gle cent in thegreiit CQI‘IIII'IOn\'I‘ealIII ofKen-
tocy appropriated to the iducation of her
people! C. A. Wicklifie. in a Convention
of Teachers, in I840,’ at Frankfort, said:
‘If Slaveryand Common Schools be incom-
patible, I say let Slavery perish." The sen-
timent was met with tremendous applause.
Men of Kentucky I what say you .7 Time
has proved they are inrompafible; not a

Carolina, says-’iri his message to _tha Legis-
lature: "The Free School systein is a fail-
ure. Its failure is owing to the fact that it
does not suit our-people or our governrnent.”
Experience and reason have long since pro-
claimed the.-same unwelcome fact.

Her fields relapse into primitive sterility;

laws of happiness and existence have been
trampled underfoot: and yet, with a most
pitiable infatuation, still clings to slavery.
The competition of nnrrquitel service,
slave labor, dooms the laboring vthite mil-
lions of these States to poverty; poverty
gives them over toignoranre; and ignorance
and poverty are the fdfil. high-roads :0 crime

nute comparison of the free and slave Stutt-‘S
so often and ably made, I forbear; I leave
this unwilling and bitterproofto each man's
observation and reflection. There is how-
ever, one consideration which I would urge
upon all because it excludes all ‘fiinaticism
and enthusiasm’ Kentucky will be richer
in dollars and cents by emancipation, and
slaveholdt-rs will be wealthier by the change.
I assert from my own knowledge that
lands of the some quality in the "free, are
from 100 to I50 per cent higher in value
than in the slave Stat-s—in some cases prob-
ably six hundred per cent higher!" Lnnds
six miles from Cincinnati, in Ohio, I am
credibly informed, are worth $60 per acre,
whilst in Kentucky, at the same distance‘
from th it city, and of the same quality, they
are worth only $10 per acrel Now the
slave holders of the state are, with rare ex-
ceptions, the land holders ofthis State; they
therefore actually increase their fortune by
liberating their slaves, even 'toll/tout compen-
sation Thus if I own 1.000 acres of land in
Fayette, it is worth $50,000; say I ut\;,_n I2

tween land and slaves; if my land rise to the‘
value of the free State st:indiird,w_hich it must
do, my estate becomes worth (losingtlie val-
iie of the slaves. 35000) $95,000. I! it rises
to $l60 per acre, three times its present val-

twenty years after emancipation, the man
owning I000 acres of land, not worth $50

fully proven by facts open to all. K-ntncl.y
was settled by wealthy cniigriints; Ohio, by
laborers. Kentucky is the senior of Ohio
by nearly one-half of the existence of the lat-
ter. Kentucky is the superjor of Ohio in

has 23‘3electorial votes to our l3. and out-
strips us in about the siime ratio in all things
else. A comparison of the older free and
slave states will show a more fa vorirble bal-
ance. sheet to the free labor States: whilst
the slave States have greatly the advantage
in climate and soil. to say nothing of the vast-
ly greater extent ofthe territory ofthe slave
