DEMOCRVCT 191 PENJSSTIiVANIA. " !
It will be remembered that the Dent
ocratic State Convention of Pennsylvania
wits held bciro the, CharlestQn and Bal
timore divisions. An ; Electoral and
State ttieket was duly nominated, and
every" r! Democratyr ' paper iri! the ' State
proi-lahued every niau upon it a, true
a ud . immaculate Democrat. ,So things
went oit siarjothly until the rupture at
Balttmprev '"Here it was 'discovered that
Democracy meant unreasonirig:'deYoiiOTi
t'. ui?)t a servile nun-worship. But
there-was another discovery; made at the
barne-time; which. was, that all would not
worship tlw same man." And on these
inipprtajit discoveries, a' spectre, in the
veritable garb of the "irrepressible con
flict,'' stepped into the midst of the broth
erhood,'and, like the confounding of the
tongues of the Babel builders, scattered
the1 conspirators into hostije clans. " -
Oathe return of the faithful Pouglasitcs
to Pennsylvania, the astounding fact was
revealed to them, and to the world, that
the great, 'good, patriotic, and Jmmacu
ulately Democratic-electors which they
had nominatedat their State Convention,
and had so extravagantly extolled, wre
nof Doaglasites at all, but were "dis

traitor;'; and "disunionist," , John C. '
Breckinridge! . Was ever innocence so
imposed upon before?" Of all , the ' 27
electors nominated by the "united and
' i i .J t ' ' -' ....
harmonious party," not one but was a
"traitor!'.and "disunionist!"' ' ;. ;
p Well,-the" Douglasites could not stand
this, ruul so they called another State
Convention, of the pure and honest
party, which .met at Harrisburg last
week, and refused to vote for the ticket

think and talk, and as the truth breaks

I it is, that nothing less than brutal force,
id mob violence can maintain the
.Democratic party.; Wherever the peo
ple are so far enlightened and resolute
't as to make this despotism on the part of
i the leaders impracticable, the success of
I the party is hopeless. -
j This must- be manifest to the most
atpid,"if ther will but5 look" over the
Jtire country. In the Free States,
I where common schools have made the
j people intelligent, and the leaders have
, not dared to resort- to force, the shams

swer the same purpose have beeu swept

the party is sustained only by the sup
pression of the freedom of speech and
the press and a "reign of terror" which;
makes the very .name of ' freedom a
mockery. Knowing well that their
principles and policy will not bear in
vestigation, the leaders, acting upon the
ignorance and prejudices of the baser
classes, arc able, through "Vigilance
Committees and brutal mobs to "put;
down," and "crush , out" to use their
favorite terms all who would expose
their tyranny. r. ,.: -.
An instance has just occurred in
Franklin CounfyMissonri.1 which illus
trates this: ,.T
"Mr. S. Hurbaugh, editor of the Clfi-zett'-Public,
Advcrtiscry. printed at Lex
ington, Frankliu County, Mo., publishes
a statement in the Missouri. Democrat to
the etTect that having put up the names
of Lincoln1 and Hamlin. at the .head: of
his papcrj. he was called .upon " the same
day by a mob of pro-slavery men, who
took possession of andidestroycd his
press and printing office and compelled
him to leave" that part of the State the
same day:5 They declared that the
names of Lincoln and Hamlin should
not go upon the poll books and that they
would prevent any man voting for them
or die in the attempt."
; Suppose the Republicans, in the States
where they have the power, should
take such means vto perpetuate it--how
would wir Democratic neighbors like the
application of their own system to them
selves?' Suppose mobs of Republicans
should destroy all Democratic papers in,
say 3Iassachusetts;L where they have as
great a majority as the Democrats have
in Missouri, should forcibly break u all
Democratic meetings should publicly
insult and mal-trcat every one known to
sympathize with the Democratic party
should violently prevent any one from
voting the1 Democratic ticket, would our
Democratic friends quietly submit? No!
You say you would not submit to such
treatment. Well, is it not worth reflect
ing, then, that possibly the Republicans
may not submit to this; thing much
longer.

Anguat Elections.
Elections were held yesterday in Ala-
j bam a, Arkansas, Kentucky, " Missouri,
and Texas'; of course we have no return
as yet. .; Their-; importance consists
chiefly in the influence they will exert
upon the contest for President in No
vember. The contest in the Slave States
is substantially between Breckinridge
and Bell. Douglas ' and Lincoln will
get some votes in some of the Southern
States, but not euough to interfere ma
terially with the contest between Breck
inridge and Bell. Should the Breckin
ridge ticket succeed at these State Elec
tions, the Presidential contest in these
States, as well as all the South, may be
considered as ended,, and the fight for
final victory will be substantially .be
tween Lincoln a nd Breckinridge. Neither
Bell in the South nor Douglas in the
North, .will probably receive a single
electoral vote. But if the Bell and
Douglas factions succeeded in defeating
the Breckinridge candidates in these
States, yesterday, they will contest the
Presidential elections also, and by "coa
lition" and "fusion" make a desperate
effort to throw the election into Con
gress, where it is believed the will of
the people can be set . at defiance and
Joe Lane elected President by the Sen
ate. ; It is the only hope of the leaders,
of the factions to defeat the election of
Lincoln. And hence the deep interest
taken in these State elections by thi&
Democratic papers in Ohio. A1 few
days will bring the returnsj and settle
the'future "conduct' of the campaign! In
ther. meantime, the . people look upon
the maneuver of the politicians with
perfect composure, having made up
their minds to elect ..Lincoln by a popu
lar vote that will make their "fusions"
arid coalitions of no-avail. ; ' -
For Brceltinrtdge. ' -
; Senator, Rice j&f Mijinesptfi, and the
Democratic candidate,-for Governor of
the same. State, are out for Dreckinridge.
This new State of the North -west repu
diated the United Democracy last year
by nearly five thousand maj-ority. A ..She
will give Licla twenty thousand in
Novmber naxt over either ofhis com
petttors'. The North-west, heretofore
the strongest hold 6 theDemeicrats,.will
roll up such majerities for Lincoln' as
was never before givea for any l'f esiden-
tial candidate.' The people- are awake
and thoroughly in earnest., Jtlias been
a hard lesson to learn, jbut they have
learned at last, that the professions of
the party were made but to' deceive the
honest free laborers. Having had, the
fact forced upon themby a fatal experi
ence, they are not likely to forget it soon.
The doom, of the Democratic party is
Eeak'd.
AND STIL.L. TI1KY COME.
Hon. Ed. Archbold, of Monroe Co.,
Ohio, a life-long Democrat an ex-Sen-attrr
and the leading spirit of the party
in the Constitutional Convention has
left the sinking wreck, and will take the
stump for Lincoln and Hamlin. Mr.
Archbold has held the party together in
his county for years past, until it is
known all over the country as the
"Democratic Gibraltar." But he cannot
go the Slave Code, Breckinridge wing
and will not go the Dred Scott, Slave
Code, Douglas faction. As the only
course left him as an honest and con
sistent man, he supports the platform
and pandidates of the Republican party.
He made a speech the other night, at
Woodsfield, the place of his residence,
in which he announced his purpose, and
gave his reasons for joining the ranks of
the friends of freedom.
We shall be much disappointed if the
course adopted by Mr. Archbold is not
followed by a large portion of the party
in South-eastern Ohio! Men are be
coming tired , of eternal shams and
double-dealing. The duplicity of the
Donglns leaders is disgusting the better
part of their former followers. There is
a great question in issue before the
American peopleone involving the
vital interests of the free laborers of the
countryaud their children after them.
On one side stands the Republican party,
manfully contending for the right, and
on the other, the propagandists of
slavery, with equal boldness, maintain
ing the wrong. Between these contend
ing forces, on the final triumph of one
, , , .
or millions, Douslas steps in as an m-
i tcrloper, and proclaiming that right and
Wrong are both the same to him that
he : is perfectly indifferent " whether
slavery is voted up or voted down," has
the cool assurance to ask the American
people to give him the control of the
patronage of the Government, that he
may reward his followers with the libe
ral hand of an unscrupulous partisan.
Is it any wonder that the conscience
and common instincts of the people re
volt at this spectacle? The failure of
Douglas to receive a single Electoral
vote will be the righteous response of
the people, and the blasting of his am
bition, the just reward of his abandon
mcnt of principle. '
, NORTH CAROLINA ELECTION.
: The State election came off in North
Carolina, on Thursday last. We have
not yet received the returns sufficiently
to indicate the result. The Republicans
have bufc very little interest in the mat
ter; but to the various factions opposed
to the Republican party it is of immense
importance. Thousands of people in all
the Southern States are waiting to see
which of the pro-slavery factions are the
strongest, ready to fall into the ranks
as sbou as that fact is ascertained. The
Cincinnati Enquirer, Statesman, and
other Douglas papers in Ohio, have
given the August elections in the South
ern States, and particularly in North
Carolina and Kentucky, an importance
which no State elections ever before pos
sessed. The whole hope, of securing
anything like a respectable vote , for
Douglas in the South, depends upon the
result of these State elections. It is ad
mitted that if the Breckinridge faction
carry T these States now, Douglas will
have no shadow of a chance ' to carry a
single Southern State in November.
The same is true of Bell, and his sup
porters are earnest in the effort to defeat
the Breckinridge tickets in these States,
this month.
In North Carolina atf open coalition
has been effected between the Douglas
and American parties. John W.Ellis
is the Breckinridge candidate for Gov
ernor, and John Pool the American can
didate. The Dougiaslts have no candi
dcte, but. support the American ticket
in hopes to defeat the. Breckinridgers.
If they subceed it is hoped that the
Douglas and Bell coalition will carry the
State, "at the .Presidential election, one
half the .Electors pledged to vote for
Douglas and the other half for Bell.
But if the Breckinridge ticket was elected
on Thursday, it is admitted that the effect
will, be to throw the eft tire South into
the hands of Breckinridge. ;
The object of all the factions is to
prevent an election by the people! if pos
sible, and then gamble for the office and
the spoilsin Congress or the Senate.-r-We
believe, however,, that the people
will elect Lincoln, and save the country
from the scenes of strife and. corruption
which would follow if these dishonest
traffickers should succeed in defeating
the electiotyby the people.; -
A Spicy Little Letter. ...j j .
Hon. D., S, Dickinson, of N, Y., has

State, and a prominent candidate of the
party for President. He has just writ
ten a letter which is . published in the
Long Island Farmer.. 'Our Douglas

the estimate of Douglas and his follow

Death of a Coiisresstonal Candidate.
In'dtAnai'OLTS, August 1. A private
dispatch from Delphi, states r that Hon. !
Isaac A. Rice-, Republican candidate for '
Cbngress, in the Eighth District, died at
ten o'clock this morning, after an illness j
of thirty-six hour?.
B"Our readers are referred to an
article, in another column, copied from
the New York Herald. It will be seeu
that the Herald distinctly gives up the
j contest in favor of Lincoln, but with
j true Democratic instincts announces the
"dissolution of the Union" as the con
sequence. I tie pictures he draws, or
the hopeless demoralization of the va
rious factious, which oppose the Repub
lican party, as well as the compact
unity and force of the Republicans, is
true to the life. But will these jarring
factions, with the aid of the Herald, at
tempt the threatened overthrow of the
Government, on the election of anhonest
man to the Presidency by the people?
We believe .the leaders are desperate
enough to do it if they could reap any
personal benefit from the traitorous at
tempt. But the hand of Providence is
evidently seen in the madness of the
schemers. If either faction -were strong
enough to accomplish the purpose, the
attempt would doubtless be made. But,
while they all hate the Republicans, the
fierce rivalry and selfish ambition of the
conspirators, make it impossible that
they can trust each other. And as the
whole scheme of the traitors is one of
personal ambition, the Douglasite will
not risk his neck in a plot, in the profits
of which the Breckinridger i&-:to share
with him. And so with the followers of
Breckinridge and Bell. . In the intense
rivalry and mutual hatred of the leaders
of the factions, consists the security of
the Government and the safety of the
people from the threatened revolution and
anarchy. The peoplo will elect Lin
coln as the Herald admits. And having
elected him they will take care of the
Burrs and Arnolds. No: disruption of
the Government will follow. It may
become necessary to hang a few cf the plot
ters, but beyond that wo don't think there
will be much trouble.
. TI1K NATIONAL DEMOCRAT,
, Publishedttt Cleveland, in this State,
is out, for Breckinridge and Lane. It
sees no use in supporting Douglas, as he
has no chance of an election, and a vote
for him has no significance. The Dem
ocrat knows that the party, as such, is
purely pro-slavery, and can never hope
to succeed on any other platform. The
doctrines and policy of the Republicans
have taken so strong a hold upon the
convictions of the people of the Free
States, that dough-faces can no more
hope to succeed with their double-faced
platforms, which the most stupid has
found to mean submission to the demands
of the disunionists when the election is
oyer, and without the entire vote of the
South the party has no show at all.
Hypocrisy can no longer win, and the
Democrat therefore throws off the mask
and boldly goes the figure before the
election, with the certainty of defeat, as
it well knows the whole party would
have done, after the election, if success
ful. ' It has the virtue of acting openly,
and will stand in the presence of the
majority of the citizens rather in the
light of a daring and bold robber than
that of the crawling thief, or smooth
faced swindler. Neither character will
be highly admired. And yet the feel
ing of utter contempt is not so involun
tarily excited for the one as for the other.
How many Breckinridge men have we
in Meigs County?
Summary of Domestic New.
A large and enthusiastic meeting was
held in Cincinnati last week by the Ger
man Republicans. Fred Ilassaurek, and
c4ters, made thrilling speeches, and the
crowd evinced their appreciation by the
heartiest kind of cheering. The Cincin
nati Gazette says: Hamilton County will
give Lincoln a rousing majority in No
flbnibcr.
The National Democrat, published at
Cleveland, Ohio, and which has hoisted
the Breckinridge ticket, says:
"That if Mr. Douglas shall continue
in the field, and succeed in drawing off
votes enough to defeat Breckinridge, 'he
and his friends will have to abide the
wrath of an abused and betrayed Democ
racy.' Will Douglas withdraw?"
The, Union, published at Bangor,
Maine, the leading Democratic organ of
that State, repudiates Douglas.-and has
hoisted the names of Breckinridge and
Lane, It knows that the Republicans
will carry the State by thousands over
both wings of the Democracy, and it fol
lows its instincts and goes with the South,
as usual. ' ;
A very , large Breckinridge meeting
was held in Covington last weekj at
which speeches and resolutions, repudi
ating Douglas and endorsing Breckin
ridge and Lane were enthusiastically re
ceived. The contest between JBell and
Breckinridge will be close in Kentucky.
Douglas has no show there. . .
A Shooting Affray.
' A shooting affray occurred ori'Witch
er's ' Creek, 15 miles above Charleston,
on Friday night, June the 1st, about
10 o'clock. The parties engaged were
Samuel' Suiithers and Jonas Stanley.
The circumstances, as we .learn them,
were briefly these: Smithers started up
the creek in pursuit of runaway negroes.
When some distance up, he was accosted
by Stanley (who was accompanied by
Philip Cole), wh6 ordered him to leave
the creek, which Smithers refused to do.
An altercation ensued, and Smithers re
treated some 200 or 300 yards, when he
was overtaken by Stanley. He seized
Smithers by the throat, and struck him
in the face orice or twice, when Smith
ers drew a revolver and fired. Two balls
took effect, one in the left side,1 between
the 8th and. 9th ribs, the other in the
thigh. At the last accounts Stanley was
doing well, with a prospect of recovery,
though the ball in his side had not besn
extracted. " It is proper to state, that
..- -
And Still Tney Come.
The Milwaukee Wiscomin, formerly
the leading Democratic paper ' of - the
State, but more recently independent,
with Democratic sympathies, has come
out squarely and strongly for Lincoln.
It has been strongly inclined to support
Douglas, but havihsj despaired of his
nomination under such circumstances as
would present the slightest chance of his
success, it takes its position in the Re- j
publican ranks. '
From the New York Herald.
The Overwhelming Moral Iasue of This
Presidential Contest The Slavery Ques
tion. -. i
The political elements of the country
' opposed to the Republican party are in
j a state of chaos. In the North they are
i divided upon men and secondary ab
stractions into clashing factions, as hos
tile against each other as against the
common enemy; in the South, where the
exigency demands a united people, act
ing under a common impulse, th it of self-
preservation, the same factious discords
prevail. Nor is this all. The South,
like a strong man struck senseless by a
heavy blow, Hcems to have lost the con
sciousness of its position, with the dis
ruption of the Democratic party. There
is a general apathy existing in the South,
a confusion of ideas, a relaxation of the
moral energies of her people, an im
becility of purpose, which may be
likened to the despairing condition of a
ship's crew adrift upon the fragments of
their broken vessel, with neither land
nor sail in sight.
At this moment the anti-slavery Re
publican party of the North, representing
hardly one-third of the popular vote of
the country, is morally certain of elect
ing its candidates for President and
Vice President, by a majority of the
electoral vote of the Union. The only
party in the field limited to one section,
in being rigidly excluded from the other,
it is the only existing party which ex
hibits anything of positive strength,
unity, efficiency and confidence in its
movements. This is a very extraordi
nary state of things, and is utterly be
yond a satisfactory solution upon the
ephemeral party organizations and party
platforms of the day. We can reach an
explanation only upon the basis of that
great overwhelming moral issue of
slavery, as an institution of good or evil,
of right or wrong.
And this is the exact issue, which,
though unrecognized or evaded by our
parties, factions and politicians, has pro
duced this formidable anti-slavery coali
tion in the North, and tnis impotent di
vision of the political elements of both
sections opposed to it. This underlying
fundamental Northern idea, that the in
stitution of Sourthern slavery is a sin;
that it is founded in error and against
right; that its fruits are poisonous; that
its pretensions are false and -incompatible
with our free institutions, and that
it must be hunted out of the country,
will account for this solid front of the
Republican party; so, too, the conflict
ing opinions of Democrats and Union
party men, North and South, upon this
broad question of good or evil, of right
or a mere usurpation of right, in refer
ence to slavery, will account for the in
curable divisions of the forces opposed
to the Republican party.
Before the invention of the cotton gin,
slavery North and South was almost
universally considered an evil. Its ad
vocates resed their defense upon the
plea that it was a necessary evil, under
the circumstances which surrounded
them, but that time would provide a
remedy. Soon after the invention of
the cotton gin slavery began to assume,
not only the features of a permanent es
tablishment, but the form of a con
trolling agency in our political affairs.
This was strikingly made mauifest in the
Missouri agitation of. 181G-20. Some
eight or ten years later the first of our
Northern Abolition societies were set in
motion, including a newspaper organ in
Boston, and another in this city, a daily
paper, call . the Journal of Commerce,
started under the auspices of Arthur
Tappan, David Hale and Gerard Ilal
lock; that paper, with all its variations
of thirty years, has stood fast to that
primary idea to which it owes itsWigin,
that slavery is an evil, and that emanci
pation is a duty.
It was not, however, until 1841, that
these Northern anti-slavery movements
entered actively and decisively into the
work of our Presidential elections, as a
Northern political balance of power.
In that year Mr. Clay, although in sen
timent an anti-slavery man, was regarded
by the abolitionists as a Southern apol
ogist of slavery, and upon this test some
fifteen thousand whig votes in this State
were thrown for Birney, the anti-slavery
candidate for President, whereby the
election was decided in favor of Polk,
the, pro-slavery Democratic nominee.
But upon the same general issue the ta
bles were turned in 1848 against the
Democratic party by the independent
free soil Buffalo organization, with Mar
tin Van Buren as their Presidential
champion. Thus, by the divisiou of
the Democratic vote of this State, Gene
ral Cass was defeated, and General Tay
lor was elected President. And it is
not the least singular feature of that
election that the line which was then
drawn by Van Buren through the cen
tre of the Democratic party of New
York has never been obliterated, but
will account for the line drawn through
the Democratic party of the Union at
the late Charleston and Baltimore Con
vention. In 1852, upon the platform of Mr.
Clav's compromise measures of 1850,
there
was
an overwhelming reaction,
North and South, in favor of peace upon
the slavery question. Under this con
servative reaction the old whig party
was prostrated and dissolved, and the
anti-slavery agitation, it was hoped,
Were rendered powerless for at least
twenty years to come, j But in .1854,
Messrs; Mason, Jefferson Davis,' Atchi
son and Douglas, of the United States
Senate, and poor Pierce, hit upon that
desperate Presidential and new Slave
State experiment, the Kansas-Nebraska
bill; and from that day to this hour, the
aroused and five-times multiplied anti
slavery legions of the North have been
steadily advancing toward the White
House, until their occupations of it on
the 4th of March next appears to be an
inevitable event.
The simple truth is, that the contest
is between the anti-slavery sentiment of
the North and the pro-slavery sentiment
of the South. It is the "irrepressible
conflict" proclaimed by W. U. Seward;
but it will not result, as he has pro
claimed it, in making all the States
Free States or Slave States.. .Par other
wise. The most probable result will be
the withdrawal of the bulk of the Slave
States from the Union, sooner or latar,
peace or war, ;But it is possible that
this conflict may be prolonged until
there shall appear a party strong enough
to maintain slavery within the Union,
not only as recognized by the compacts
of the constitution, but upon that high
moral ground that, as existing in the
United States, negro slavery is right, is
good and proper, a divinely ordained
institution.
Upon this fundamental issue the Re
publican party now have all the advan
tages on their side. Hence the solidity
of their columns, and hence the dis
tractions and divisions among the con
servative and pro-slavery forces opposed
to them.. But under a popular govern
ment like our, such a Southern institu
tion as this of slavery can never be safe
until public opinion in the North shall
have been trained at least so far to rec
ognise it right and good as to let it
alone. Will that day ever come? We
know not; but we know, for we see, that
this Presidential contest, for good or
evil, is the beginning of the end.
The Great Eastern.
Cape May, July 31. The Steamship
Great Eastern arrived here at 8 this
morning. She has 2,087 passengers.
One steamboat accompanied her to the
bar last evening. She got over the bar
safely at twelve minutes after 7 P. M.,
high tide, and two feet to spare. She
then started at full speed, the band
playing.
At Sandy Hook, the eighty ton an
chor was secured with great difficulty,
the loop of the cast block having been
broken. It was replaced, when the cap
stain was found to be too small for the
cable, the slack of which was pulled out
by the weight of the anchor. This
jarred "the bow of the vessel tremen
dously a dozen times.
The sea was very smooth and light,
and the vessel made a graceful roll of
three degrees. Land was lost sight of
at half past eight P. M. At this time
the Highland lights were last seen, and
there was a slight haze on the water,
but a splendid moonlight overhead.
Among the passengers there was much
grumbling, in consequence of the scar
city of the water. This was caused by
the cock of a compartment having been
left open, flooding the icehouse and store
rooms. A considerable quantity of pro
duce and provisions was injured by this
disaster, and food consequently became
scarce.
At night five hundred persons slept
on the deck, which was rendered very
unpleasant by a thick rain of cinders.
The accommodations were very meager.
Not more than one hundred women were
on board. On the voyage water was
sold at ten cents a glass.
An indignation meeting was held on
board, and resolutions were passed cen
suring the Directors for the singular
conduct of the officers toward the pass
engers. The Great Eastern sails for New Yrork
at six o'clock to night, and will reach
there at six o'clock in the morning.'

For the Pomeroy Weekly Telegraph.
Mr Editor: In witnessing, with you,
the operation of "Crary's Shingle Ma
chine," I could not help thinking that
our race is greatly benefited by those
who combine the mechanical forces and
apply them in the production of articles
for the convenience,comfort,andeven lux
uries of life lessening the cost of the pro
ducts and by so . doing placing
them within the reach of all. ,
The eonsumers of cotton fabrics,
thirty-five or forty years, in paying 50
and 62 cents per yard for brown muslin,
paid no more than a fair equivalent for
their production, but the cotton-gin and
power-loom now furnish us with a supe
rior articlefor 6 and 10cent3 peryard,and
yetwe now pay more for the same amount
of muscular labor than was paid then and
hence the credit of its cheapness must
pass to the account of those who inven
ted the gin and power-loom. So, in most
of the callings of life, new appliances and
combinations of forces and mechanical
contrivances arc brought into service to do
the labor of the less accurate, less endurin
and less expeditious muscles and sinews
of man. And in view of the successful
conflict of mind with matter, if we are to
judge of the future by the past, the
beginning of the next century will find
us far in advance of what we are now,
when chemical science and mechanical
contrivence? will draw from nature other
motive power than that she .now gives
us through the distilling of water,
when the atmosphere will be harnessed
up to do our bidding and we bid adieu
to steam, with all its attendant expen
siveness and dangers.
But, to "Crary's Shingle Machine:"
Shaved shingles have heretofore been
made by hand, and it takes a day of
hard - labor to produce one thousand
from soft timber, and hence the timber
common to our country oak, walnut,
ash, &c. for service durable, for
quantity inexhaustible has been exclu
ded from our roofs, because the making
of them by hand is a great tax on our
muscular energies,, which you are aware,
Mr. Editor, is not very agreeable; and
for want of good shaved shingles, sawed
and cut shingles have been forced on the
market, where in their manufacture the
timber is forced contrary to its rift and
the grain bruised and lacerated, so that
when the shingles are laid together on
the roof, they give the water its choice to
go down, on the principle of gravitation,
or up between the shingles, on the capil
lary principle, the latter of which can be
attested by immersing the ends of two
sawed shingles, pressed together in a
basin of water, when the water will follow
up between the shingles from two to five
inches; hence roofs made from such
shingles are by no means durable. ,
Mr. Crary, by a happy combination of
forces and ingenious mechanical con
trivances, has invented a machine for
this age and country, a machine almost
indowed with thought certainly with
action adjusting itself to any kind of
timber, winding or "eaty," doing its work
as well and as expeditiously in oak, walnut
or any livable hard timber as in soft,
making shingles thick or thin, wide or
narrow, will not break, bruise or lacerate
the grain or tear contrary to the rift; but
will adjust itself to the habit and nature
of the wood, and by so doing produce a
better shingle then is usually made by
hand. Observer.

Tbe Pain Killer is a purely vegetable compound,
and while it is a most efficient Remedy for Pain, it is
perfectly sare medicine eveu in the most unskilful
liands.
For Summer Complaint,
or anv other form of Bowel Disease lit Children or
Adults, it is almost a certain cure, and has without
doubt been more successful in curii.g the various
kinds of . - . -r
cholera
than any other known remedy; or even the most
skilful phvaician. In India, Africa, and China,
where this dreadful disease iseror more or lessprev
aleat, the
PAIN KILLER,
is considered by the natives, as well as by European
residents, in those climates, -
A Sure ISenicdy.
Asa Tonic for the Stomach, it is unrivalled. A
few doses will relieve severe cases of
IiMligestiou,
and it is often a perfect core for
Dyspepsia
in its most aggravated forms. Its tmiie &b& gtiirrufa'
ling properties, arousing the system to . vigorous ae
tion, render it a most eiTuctuut cure for
Colds and Coughs,
when used according to directions '
For external application it is unsurpassed by any
medical preparation knows.
Kheumatism,
and Neuralgic Affections are quickly relieved and
often cured by it. Any soreness in the Muscles or
Joints can be relieved by its application. Il cures
instantly the most violent
Tootuachc. '
It should always be kept near at band, to be used
in cases of severe
Burns o; Scalds, .
If applied immediately, according to directions, it
will give ins ant relief, and prevent blistering.
It is peculiarly adapted to the wants of
Steam boatmen,
and others traveling on our -Western Rivers.
JLrlirections accompany each bottle.
- It has been tested in every variety of climate, and
by almost every nation known to Americans. It is
the almost constant companion and inestimable
friend of the missionary and the traveler on sea
and land and no one should travel on our lakes or
rivers without it.
