Each state of the MDP models the pitche r’s current pitch selection in a Markovian fashion, conditiona l on the information immediately prior to making the current pitch. This in- cludes the count prior to the previous pitch, his ensuing pit ch selec- tion, the batter’s ensuing action and the result of the pitch . The necessary Markovian probabilities can be estimated by t he rel- evant observed conditional proportions in MLB pitch-by-pi tch game data. These probabilities could be pitcher-specic, using only the data from one pitcher, or general, using the data from a collection of pitchers. Optimal batting strategies against these estimated condit ional dis- tributions of pitch selection can be ascertained by Value It eration. Optimal batting strategies against a pitcher-specic cond itional dis- tribution can be contrasted to those calculated from the gen eral con- ditional distributions associated with a collection of pit chers. In this manuscript, a single season of MLB data is used to cal- culate the conditional distributions to nd optimal pitche r-specic and general (against a collection of pitchers) batting stra tegies. These strategies are subsequently evaluated by conditional distributions cal- culated from a dierent season for the same pitchers. Thus, t he bat- ting strategies are conceptually tested via a collection of simulated games, a \mock season," governed by distributions not used to cre- ate the strategies. (Simulation is not needed, as exact calculations are available.) Instances where the pitcher-specic batting strategy outp erforms the general batting strategy suggests that the pitcher is exploitable| knowledge of the conditional distributions of their pitch- making de- cision process in a dierent season yielded a strategy that w orked better in a new season than a general batting strategy built o n a Received September 2012; revised December 2013. 1 http://www.g-a.ca .

Page 1: Lexington observer and reporter (Lexington, Ky. : Weekly ...nyx.uky.edu/dips/xt77wm13ns7r/data/0024.pdf · You have'heen sir, to allude to niy for- ... of selfish party leaders Ichcer'J,

MR. FILLMORE AT ALT! .ANY. A NO-

BLE SPEECH HEAD IT.If any reader has a lingering doubt that

Mr. Fillmore entertains those sentimentsvhich every patriot would like to see anima-

ting the Chief Magistrate of the Ilepublic, lethim read the follow ing speech by MillardFillmore, at. Albany, on his way through thatcity. The heart of the whole country willthrob responsive to such sentiments. Letevery patriot take his stand beside Mr. Fill-

more on the ground here taken by that gen-

tleman, and peace and prosperity will soon berestored to the Union:

Vr. .Vi.iivr aud JUod-Citit- This overwhelm-ing demonstration of congratulation anil welcomealmost deprives me of the power of speech. Heronearly thirty years ago, I commenced my politicalcareer. In tliis buililin; I first saw a Legislativebody in session cheers, but at that time it neverentered into tlio aspirations of my hcurt that I

should ever receive such a ivolcoiua as this, in thocapital of my native State. (Cheers.)

You have'heen sir, to allude to niy for-

mer services and my probable course if I shouldagain be called to the position of Chief Magistrateof the nation. Applaud. It is not pleasant tospeak of one's self, yet I trust that the occasion willjustify me in brieflv alluding to one or two eventsconnected with my last Administration. Cheers.You all know that when 1 called to the Lxecu-tiv- o

chair, bv a bereavement which overwhelmedthe nation with grief, the country was unfortunate-ly agitated from one end to tho other upon the ex-

citing subject of slavery. It was then, sir. that Ifelt it my duty to rise above every sectional preju-

dice and lonk'to the welfare of the whole nation.Applause. I was compelled to a certain extent to

overcome prejudices, and disregardpartvclaims. ( treat and prolonged applause.

Hut iu doing this, sir, 1 did no more than was

done by manv abler aud better men than myself.I was by no means the sole instrument, under Prov-

idence, in hanivmizing those difficulties. .Vpplau.se.

There were at that time noble, independent, liigh- -

souled men. in both Houses of Congress, belongingbotljHMML. at political parties ot tbe country

and i.!Mnirt-iwh- o sv'n,""- - e characterof selfish party leaders Ichcer'J, anil rallied aroundniy Administration, in support of the great meas-

ures which restored pmeo to our agitated and dis-

tracted country. Chccrs.l By the blessings of

Divine Providence, our cll'orts were crowned withsiTial success, cheers and when I left tho Presi-

dential chair, tho whole nation was prosperous andcontented, and our relations with all foreign nation?were of the most amicable kind. Cheers. Thecloud that hung upon the horizon was dissipated;but, where are wo now'! Alas! Threatened at homo

with civil war, and from abroad with a rupture of

our peaceful relations. I shall not seek to truce thocauses nf this change. Theso are tho facts, and it is

for you to ponder upon them. Of the pJcsont Ad-

ministration 1 have nothing to say. 1 can appreci-

ate the difficulty of administering this government,and if tho present Executive and his supportershave with good intention and honost hearts, madea mistake, 1 hope Cod may forgive them, as 1 do.Loud and prolonged applause. But if there be

thoso who have brought those calamities upon thecountry, for selfish or ambitious objects, it is yourduty, follow-citizen- to hold them to a strict respon-

sibility. Cheers.Tho agitation which disturbed the peaeo of the

country hi 1850, was unavoidable. It was broughtupon us by tho acquisition of new territory, for tho'ovcrnmout of which it was necessary to provideTerritorial administrations. It is for you to saywhether the present agitation, which distracts thecountry and threatens us with civil war, has notbeen recklessly and w antonly produced by the adop-

tion of a measure to aid in personal advancementrather than in any public good. Cheers.

Sir you have been pleased to say that I havo tbeunion of these States at heart. This, sir, is mosttrue for if there be one object dearer to me thanany 'other, it is the unity, prosperity, and glory ofthi"s great Republic; and I confer frankly, sir, thatI fear it is in danger. I say nothing of any partic-

ular section, much kv--s of tho several candidatesbefore the people. I presume they arc all honora-

ble men. tiut. sir, what do wc sec? An exaspera-

ted feeling between the North and South, on themost oxciTing of all topics, resulting in bloodshedand organized military array.

Hut this is not all, sir. Wc see apolitical party,presenting candidates for tho Presidency and Vicelresideuey,selccted for the first time from the freeStates alone, with the avowed purpose of electingthese candidates by the suffrages of ouo part of theUnion only to rule" over tho whole I'nited States.Can it be possible that those who are engaged insuch a measure can have seriously reflected upon thoconsequences which must inevitably follow in caoof success? Chcers.l Can they have tho madnessor folly to believe that our Southern brethren wouldsubmit to be governed by such a Chief Magistrate?Cheers. Would he bo required to follow the rule

prescribed bv those who elected him in making hisapuoiuTmcnts? If a man living south of Mason andDixon's line, be not worthy to bo President or Vieo

President, would it bo proper to select one from thosame nuartor a- - ,o,- - of his Cabinet Council, or to

r"v.r..e!ii tbe r.stvm in a foreign country? Or, in- -

"t??7ttm I lii.j iMTfnv.1; or administer the lawsof the l"uitl States? If not, what new rule is thePresident t.. a b.pt in selecting men for office?

These aro serious, but practical questions, and inorder to appreciate them fully, it is only neces-ar- y

to turn the tables upon ourselves. Suppose that theSouth having a majority of the electoral votesshould declare that they would only havo slavehold-

ers for President and Vice President; and shouldelect such by their exclusive suffrages to rule overus at the North. Do you think wo would submit toit? No. not for a moment. Applause. And doyou believe that your Southern brethren are less

sensitive on this subject than you are. or less jeal- -

ous of their rights? (Tremendous cheering. If youdo let me tell you that you are mistaken. And,,therefore, you must see that if this sectional parlysucceeds, it leads inevitably to the destruction ofthis beautiful fabric roared by our forelhtln r,cemented by their blood, aud bequeathed to us as a

priceless inheritance.I tell you, my friends, that I speak warmly on

this subject, for I feel that we are in danger. I amdetermined to make a cleau breast of it. I willwash my hands of the consequences, whatever theymay be: and I toll you that we are treading upon thebrink of a volcano, that is liable at any moment toburst forth and overwhelm the nation. I might bysoft words hold out'delu-iv- e hopes and thereby winvotes, but 1 nover can consent to be one thing to theNorth and another to the South. I shouldmyself if I could he guilty of such eva.-io- Tu-

multuous applause. Pormy conscience would stillask, with the dramatic poet

"Is there not some secret curseSome hidden thunder rod with immortal wrathTo blast the wretch who owes his greatnessTo his country's ruin?'' Cheers.In the language of the lamented, immortal Clay"I had rather be right than be President." En-

thusiastic and prolonged cheers. i

It seems to me impossible that, those engaged inthis sectional agitation can have contemplated theawful consequences d success. It it breaks asunder the bonds of our I'nion and spreads anare hv j

and civil war through tbe laud, what is it lessthamoral treason? Law and common sense hold a manresponsible for the natural consequences of his act-:- ,

and must not those wh.v-- c acts tend to the destruc-tion of the government be equally heldApplause. And let me also arid, that, when this

Union is dissolved, it will not he divided into tworepublics or tw o monarchies, but broken into fi

each at war with the other.But, -, I bas e perhaps said all that

was necessary on thissubject.aud I turn with pleas-ure to a less important hut more agreeable topic.Cheers. It has been my fortune during my trav-

els in Europe to witness once or twice the receptionof royalty, in all ttie pomp and splendor of militaryarray, where the music was given to order and thecheers at the word of command. But, for myself. Iprize the honest spontaneous throb of arfvcuoH withwhich you have welcomed me back to my nativeState above all tho pageants which royalty can dis-

play. Cheers. Therefore, with a heart overflow-ing with grateful .motion-- , I return you a thousandthanks and bid you adieu. Prolonged applau-.- c

MR. FI ELMORE AXD THE WHIGS.

The Whig General Committee of Constitu- - j

tiou Hall, numbering one hundred and tenmembers, waited upon Mr. Fillmoke onWednesday eveuing, according to their ad- -

vertised purpose. The scene was one ofgreat animation and interest, reminding tts of.those srlorious times when in common brotherhood the Whigs of this city were wont torally around and cordially greet their lea-lin-

men who might choose to visit this city.Mr. James Brooks thus in'ro htivd the Com-

mittee to Mr. Fillmore;I havo Cue honor, Mr. Fillmore, to present to you

tuv nsociaios of tho Whig Uenoral Committee ifthe city of Xew .York. We ar Whig., sir, allWhigs, and nothing but Whigs old lino Whis of1S40, Mi, 'IS, and '")-

-'. A' long a Iljiiry Clay livedwe followed his tl ii; nod his fortunes, wnd in ahard-fou?- caun- iisn we shared with bi;u both victory and defeat Veterans there are here, sir, who

,100a iue oe.o oi lil'":u.oh. uom un i nvus aimfields of Xortu li mv! in triumph to Washington,and hore aw the heads of the lerion inl-i- s

carried you' and Gen.. Taylor to tiie White lious:--

and that faded only in 1S11 because there was irea- -

son m our ranks. Wo come to w elcom? you homoas an old soldier, au ol.l campaigner with us, to oneryou our hands, om- hearts, and the humble approba-tion

j

of our hc&d, - Here is the old guard, sir; oldveteran that have never been beatvu in a fair light.Here theyare sir, just as for service as ever,and I am suro-yo- will be glad" to see th m, one andall."

Mr. Fillmork replied as follows:Mk. Cuaihmav: I receive tb-- se congratulations

with inexpressible satisfaction. It reminds mc ofthe hard-foug- battles through which we all havepassed. It is a great gratification for me to lookaround upon t!ie taess of those who have ej oftenbeen associated with ine in the struggles of eureommon country. I trust and hope, although youway bo called by a different name from what youwre, that thero is yet no of seutimentbetween us. I hav. Uug sen that the time wasapproaching when that noble Whig purty, of whichI wus ever proud, would be unavoidably desl roved.You have spoken of th troaehery that defeated

that has arisen from its allies that is yet to save theCountry. Applause.

I oonfess that in looking around upon my formerassociates hero it reminds me of the scenes throughwbiih we passed in 15o0. Fortunately, when I wasunexpectedly called to tho Presidential chair bythat calamity which shrouded our country in mourn-ing, I had made no pledges which prevented mofromdiseharging uiylluty to my country. If 1 ren-

dered any servici- - in my country at that time, Iwas greatly indebted, the country was greatly in-

debted to that conservative portion of tho Whigparty that stood around me, and that equally con-

servative portion of tho Democratic party whichrallied adouud my Administration at that time.(Applause.

Sir, the measures which finally restored peaeo toan agitated country then were not the measures ofouo man, they were not the measures of one party,but thoy wore the measures of the two great par-

ties into which tho country was then divided. Ishould hope, if it bo my fortune again to occupytho elevated position of the Presidency, that I mightflgfin rely upon the conservative cilices and sup-

port of thoso who may bo called Democrats andthose w ho may be called Whigs. I cannot doubtthat 1 snail have tho support of thoso conservativeWhigs o Whigs, truo Whigs who nowstand around inc. I cannot doubt that I shall alsohave the support of those Domecnitswho rallied to the support of the country in 1300.Applause.Put, sir, I have said more than 1 inten led to pay;

porhap; more than I ought to have said. I only in-

tended to express my gateful feelings in respousoto the welcome tendered me by the e Whigs,for whom 1 still fed an affection and regard. Noth-ing could be moro giatitying to my feelings atterreturning to this country; and after receiving thenomination of tho distinguished association towhich I am att:iehod, than still to he rememberedby my old confederates as worthy of their confi-

dence and respect. Applause

Mr Fill.moue's Speech at Xewbubo.In most of the speeches Fill-

more has been called upon to make sinex: hisarrival at Xew York, he has avoided any-

thing like an allusion to parties. At Xew- -

bunr, he was introduced as the candidate ofthe American party, and he made a trulyAmerican speech as follows;

oi' Xtrbtiri: Accept my cordialthanks for this unexpected but hearty greeting.- -My friend has introduced me as the standard-beare- r

of the American party, and a friend of the Union.For the former position, I am indebted to my friends,who have, without my solicitation, made me theirstandard-beare- r in the coming campaign. But Iconfess to you that I am proud ot the distinction. Iconfess,also, that 1 am a devoted and unalterablefriend of the Union. I have no hostility to foreign-ers; I have witnessed their deplorable condition inthe old country, and God forbid that 1 should add totheir suffering by refusing to them an asylum inthis. I would throw the gates wide open, and in-

vite the oppressed of every laud to partake of theblessings of our laws and country: I would only ex-

clude from this emigration the pauper and the criminal. I would give froo toleration to every creed;but while f did this, 1 would, tor their sakes as wellas ours, declare that Americans should rule Aiuori- -ca. (Cheers.) They should have the benefit ofequal laws; but neither their oducation nor knowl-edge of our institutions qualify them to govern

(Applause.) The failure of every attemptto establish a free Government in Kurope io demon-strative of this fact. But if we value the blessings,which Providence has so bountifully showered uponus, it becomos every Americiifi to stand by tho Con-

stitution of the country, and to resolve, that, inde-pendent of all foreign influence, Americans shalland will rule America. Long and loud applause. )

I feel, fellow-citizen- that I neod hardly alludeto the importance of maintaining this Union. Isec tho National flag Coating from yonder heights,which marks the consecrated spot where Washing-ton had his headquarters. There was performed anact of moral heroism, beforo which the bravestdeeds of Alexander pale, and with which the great-est deeds of Bonaparte are not to bo compared.Immense cheering. ) It was there, on that sacred

spot, now siiaded by thajlag of a free republic, thatWashington refused a crown. (Great applause. )

It was there, that the officers of the army, afterour independence was achieved, made him the offerof a crown, which he indignantly repelled.

I am sure that I need not urire upon you who livoinsight of that flag, the importance or duty of fol-

lowing tho farewell advice of the Father of hisCountry, to maintain the Union of the States, asthe safeguard of our liberties at home and the bul-

warks of our defence against attacks from abroad.-- Cheers,

Mr. Fillmore thcu retired, the most deafeningcheers for Millard Fillmore, the. xt President of

the United States, filling the air.

ARRIVAL OF THE ILLIXOIS.Xew YoitK, June -- 8.

Tho Illinois arrived this moruing with 2,- -

at the isthmus with the Golden Age, whichbrought down 2,loS'i.HX), Principal ..con-signees: Drexel & Co., 50,000; Wells, Ff.rgo,& Co., . 530,000; Metropolitan Bank, gPJO,-00- 0;

Wm. Hoge. 120,000; Chas. Morgan,$100,000; Thos. Watson, $23,000.

The steamer Sierra Nevada, over due fromNicaragua, had not arrived at San Franciscowhen the Golden Age left. Immediately onher, arrival the was to be despatched withtroops fur. Colonel Walker.

Ex-Jud- Ned MeGowani, formerly Sheritfof Philadelphia, had been indicted by theGrand Jury as accessory to the murder ofKins, but he has escaped.

The Vigilance Committee arrested severalballot-bo- x stutters and desperadoes. Theyalso obtained possession of a fraudulent liallotbox, an ingenious construction. The mostastounding election frauds have been reveal-ed.

Some of the opponents of the VigilanceCommittee held a mass meeting. By prin-ter! placards, the friends of the Comiuitecwere not to enter the plaza during the mooting,the effect of which was to show the realstcngthof the law and order party. About 2,000were present. There was no violence, butmuch confusion. Resolutions were passed,eaiiiug upon me peopte io resist me igiiancoCommittee.

Judge Terry, of the .Supreme Court, has is-

sued a habeas corpus, demanding the prisoners'in the hands oi the Committee; but the writwas resisted.

On the third they issued a proclamation dc- -

clarine: the country in insurrection, and an- -thoriztngthe Major General of the seconddivision of State militia, to raise au army topreserve law and order. This action did notalarm the commiteee. They have 5,000 menfully equipped and ready for instant action, be-

ing thoroughly organized and in constant drillfor two weeks, under competent officers.Men money, and munitions from all parts ofthe State are at their command, and it is con-fidently el'cveil the Governor's efforts willamount to nothing. The volunteer militarycompanies of San Francisco and Sacramentohave disbanded, in order to avoid being calledout by thetGovernor- - It is reported, however,that 1200 men have been enrolled under theGovment authorities. No collision is antici-pated.

A petition, numerously signed, was in cir-culation asking the Governor to call au extrasession of the legislature. The vigilance com-mittee deny having anything to do niththopetition.

The San Francisco Herald is the only jour-nal which apposes the committee. It puts adifferent coloring on the stale of affairs. Itsays the Governor's proclamation is largely re-

sponded to; that citizens are largely pressingforward to enroll under the authorities, thatthe 1th of June 1500 were enrolled; that bvSaturday 10,000 would h armed on the ideof law and order. Divisions of the Statemilitia have been ordered out and many nowcompanies of voluntees are forming.

The markets of San Francisco are dulland money tight.

Dates from Panama arc to the 11th.There is nothing important. Mr. Conway,O. S. commissioner to inquire into tho Pana-ma riot, was at his port, busy making inves-tigations. The Star says the testimony.

Conclusion of this dispatch was not sent.

LEXIN'GTON & BIG SANDY RAILROAD.

List Saturday was tho annual meeting ofthe Stockholders of this company, in thisplace, and between thirty and forty thousandshares of stock was represented at the meet-ing.

Judge Bush of Clarke County was theChairman, and Judge Gist of MontgomeryCounty was Secretary of the meeting.

The Board of Directors, through the Pres-ident, made a report which gave so much sat-

isfaction to the Stockholders that they order-ed a large extra number to lac printed for gen-

eral circulation along the lino of the road.It appears by the report that the graduation,which had been done up to the first of thismonth, amounted to five hundred and eighty-tw- o

thousand dollars.The right of way anil laud for depots had

cost hfty-fou- r thousand dollars. That thecost of" the preliminary and locating sur-

veys of the, road was twenty-liv- e thou-

sand dollars," and the cost of engineering,since the work of construction commenced,has been a like sum of twenty-fiv- e thousanddollars.

That the cross ties had been paid for to thoextent of eleven thousand dollars and 2,500more were bought at 25 cents each. Thatthe company had near a thousand tons ofrails weighing 60 iKninds to the yard, at Cin-

cinnati, and ready to be removed to Ashland,to be laid at the East end of the line, whichis ready for track laying. That a fine 21 tonLocomotive had been purchased from theTaunton Works and w hich w as en route be-

tween Cincinnati aud Ashland.That in the course of fivo months about

seven additional miles would 1)0 ready for therails at the east end of the line and thirty-thre- e

miles, from Lexington to Mt. Sterlingat the west end, making an aggregate of fitlymiles, and that to complete the graduationand masonry for the last named thirty-thre- e

miles would cost onchundied and forty thou-sand dollars. This is a greater sum than hadbeen anticipated, but the chief engineer re-

ported that the settling of the embankmentslast winter makes this sum greater than itwould hare been, though such settling wouldhave taken place after the track was laid, ifit had not done so before. Several ol the sec-

tions between Mount Sterling and Lexingtonare ready for the superstructure. Wc wouldventure to sav that few works of this kindhave ever gone along more evenly under likecircumstances than this has done.

The unlbunded rumors which have beenconstantly put into circulation by some of thepeople along the line and particularly at Lex-

ington, have been disregarded by the Direc-tory of the road, and they have gone on inthe oven tenor of their way. The newspa-pers at Lexington were accustomed to alludeto rumors until the President, by au articleover his own name, put an extinguisher onsuch publications, and the editor conlessedhe was wrdng and the President right. After-wards, in an answer to a legal proceeding, ru-

mors were referred to, which proved like allothers when investigated, to be wholly un-

founded.The County of Fayette and the City of

Lexington have heretofore withheld any aidto the road, although subscriptions were votedby the people of the county and city. Thisopposition is not because of the want of meritin the road, for all the people we believe inLexington admit this road will be more ben-

eficial to them than any other road whichthey have or expect to have, but the countyand city have lost so much which had beensubscribed to other roads that they now tryto defeat this road forcing a subscription fromthem of 8300,000.

The old Board of Director," except Dr.Gushing were without opposition,and Wm. A. Dudley, Esq., of Lexington, waselected in the room of Dr. Cushing. Thefollowing gentlemen now compose the Board,Joseph Bondurant, of Montgomery; Ben. B.Groom, of Clarke; D. K. Weis, of Greenup;J. M. Nesbitt.of Bath; Gen. A. Blackwell,of Clarke, and W. A. Dudley, of Fayette'.

At a meeting of the Board after the ad-

journment of the Stockholders, R. Apport-

ion, Esq., was President of theCom pany.

The President has been quite indisposedfor nearly a fortnight, most of the time con-

fined to his room, but if well enough, we un-

derstand, he designs going to Louisville nextweek to sec what prospect there is for aid tothis road from that city, and from the rail-

roads from Louisville to Lexington. We aresatisfied that a half million of dollars shouldbe subscribed to our road by that city, andthose roads, so that there may be a continuous line of the same guagc from Louisville toBig Sandy, at which point it will connect withthe great Central lrginia Railroad, andthrough it and its branches, connect directlywith Washington, Riichmond and Norfolk.

The Report of the Engineer aud also of thoSecretary will be published with that of thePresident very soon, and all who may vftnt acopv can got one bv applying lor it.

The Engineer lust year reported the itemsol graduation, anil challenged anv other roaain Kentucky to show an equal amount ofwork done for the same money. I his hasbeen reported this year by the Engineer, sothat evcrv one may see in what the workconsists.

THE NEW YORK HERALD'S OPINION OF BUCHANAN S CHANCES.1 he N ew ork Herald has a leading arti

cle on Buchanan's chances for an election.We quote from it at follows :

The main question is, what are the prospects of the campaigne? Wc anticipate one ofthe most exciting, tumultuous and revolution-ary politcial contests in all the history of therepublic. "Many of our hopeful democraticfellow citizens affect to believe that there willhardly be a tight that Mr. Buchanan, withscarcely a show of resistance, will walk overthe course. We have only to sav, lookingcalmly over the whole field, that for all suchas entertain the belief that there will be nostruggle the doors of some lunatic asylum hadbettor be opened at once. We have no doubtof the fact that a vast majority of the Ameri-can people in the present distracted conditionof the country, are opposed to the Democraticparty, as debauched ami demoralized underthe malign influence of this Pierce administra-tion; and we believe that there would still ex-ist a majority of the American people opposedto the ratification of the debaucheries of thiscorrupted party, even if they should nominateas their representative an anjrel from heaven.This is our conviction and our belief Grantthat, as an honest man and a statesman, Mr.Buchanan is a fair nomination, and that he isimmeasurably superior to men of such smallcalibre aud paltry expedients as Pierce and hisForney Kitchen Cabinet, the impressive evi-dences are yet all around us of an impendingrevolution. Louis the Sixteenth was an ami-able, respectable and worthy man, and sin-cerely labored for the good of his people, yetin the terrible storm raised by his imbecilemid corrupt predecessors he was swept away.Wc anticipate nothing so frightful in this en-

lightened day; yet we say that Pierce has rais-ed a storm which even Buchanan cannot

command to be still. It is driftingto a great popular revolution. We shall havea revolution we must have a revolution; fora sweeping revolution is as necessary at timesto purify the political atmosphere a.s is a sum-mer thuudergust to clear away the miasmaand corrupting exhalations of a long skklvsie'-'- e of the dog da vs.

in a Cast Iron Case, w hich forms the backand hoop of tie Sione, with a Cast Iron Eye orBrush that is of greater external diameter at thebottom than M the top, which is secured in iheback by lour bolts, so that every block is in theform of a dovetail, which givesgreater strength iothe Stone than any other method which is rt quir-ed in small Mills, where the Stone is run run withgreat speed, and becomes dangerous if not strong-ly made. It nlso gives any weight, to a Stone olsmall diameter, that is required, without having itthickor high, that makes it top heavy.

This Mill is a square frame, made of wood orCast iron, in the form of a husk, with Bridge tree,Spindle, Balance, Rine, Driver, and RegulatingScrew, and grinds upon ihe same principle as alarge Mill, differing only in the Runner Stone;this being of great weight, enables it to grind,nearer the centre, a greaterquantily of grain withless power lliau any other Mill now in use. 'litisMill is portable, aud may be attached to Steam,Water, Horse or Hand Power.
