HIeR PRICE FOR A sLAvE.-We quote
the stateme 1t from the Courier of last
evening: A curious scene was witness
ed to-day nt The St Louis Exchange
The. City marshall, at the usual hour, pro.
ceeded to the sale ofa female slave, sci
zed in the suit Of E. Johns, free man of
color, versus Lockwood, free woman of
color. The plaintiff,we are told, is either
the husband or brother of the slave under
and showed not little anxiety
TO become the purchaser. The bidding
commenced-a white man in the crowd
bidding against the man of color, as high
as the sum Of $500. The colored man
however, bid $4,000, aud the slave
was adjudged to be his PrOberty.-.N. o.

SUPPORT THE DEMOCRATIC Pass
The following is from the Dover (N.. H.
Gazette:
1.-THE Democracy have no presses
bought up or mOrtgaged to a United
States Bank, controlled and begging even
an existence for so. many dollars and cts.
Bankers, fnanCierS, and spectators have
always sought Federal or neutral prints
to serve their ends. The aristocracy
and opulent have bribsd the same kind
for their purpOses-and measures restric-
ting or destroying the rights Of the peo.
pie, always meet with support from such
presses. On the other hand, Democratic
papers have always, in fearless manner,
exposed and resented violation of rights,
advocated free suffrage, and cast their lol
for better or worse with the people-that
is the diiference--that is the reason WHY
you should support the Democratic press.
We repeat the injunction-sUPPoRT IT
scatter its leaves in your families, and
now, as the evenings are getting long,
and much time may be spent in reading,
DEMOCRATS! look 10 it that you are well
supplied with Democratic papers-the ex-
pensC will pay you tenfold hereafter.

COLD COMFORT AT HOME

Ex.Secretary Solitude Ewing claimed
sympathy from The people on resigning, by
complaining that the President treated
him with neglect in not consulting him on
the veto.The people ofFair6eld have dealt
still more hardly by him. They have
clapped a thousand retoes on him imme-
diately on his arrival at home. They
met him with one thousand majority at
the polls, in the face Of his protest against
the Bank veto. His reception in Hook
ing, the scene Of his land speculations,
was something better. There he was
met by only three HUNDRED and ninety
three vstoes!-Globe.

Within his house in a great arm chair
before the FIRE sat an old grey headed
man for the grave. Twas winter. and
the cold wind wbis'led among the leafess
branches Of the trees, and the Stow aud
sleet ratified against the windows. The
old man chuckIed, for he was warm and
comfortable, and the biting blast touched
him not. lie said, q have enough am

and said, Sir a woman is at the door

The nexl morning the. old man stepped
out into the porch, and lheIe upon one Of
the benches sat the paoEs sbegg4r woman.
His rage was kindleh.
'D.d InOt tell you [ have nothing Tor

man smote his. breast and entered his

also died miserable, though rich.

THliESHlNG & WINNOWING MACHINE
Having had in use, one Of Davenpou's Paten,
Threshing and Winnowing Machines, and being
repeatedly called upon for our opinion in regard to
their value, durability and advantages we make,
free TO state that they exceed in our opinion auy
ThIeshng Machine we ever before witnessed in
use. They will thresh and clean, fit for market
200 bushels of Wheat per day, and this with the
aid of three hands besides the driver The Straw
is passed off from the grain incline plane, ex-
tending about 2 feet from the Machine. Scarce
ly a grain Is lost. What is Of some importance
and greatly 50, is the fact that no dust passes from
the Machine to the who feeds il. The Horse
power seems 10 be perfection itself-ihree horses
may work it with ease and their fastest gait need
only be the ordinary plough gait. We must
oheeriully recommend the Machine TO Farmers

IMPORTANT TO FARMERS

I'M p O II T ANT TO FARME RS.
EAVENPORT'S Improved Patent Tlreshing
E y Machine and Horse Power, which ,hreshes
and cleans at the same tme-an invention for
which Farmers have long looked in vain, and which
renders the above machine perfect and past further
improvement. Those who have been waiting for
something better than heretofore offered for sale,
will find this to he the article Come see it and
judge for yourselves.
The subscribers have purchased the right of the
above Machine and Horse Power, for the coun-
ties of NoRTHUNBERLANn, LrcoNIsG, CLINTON,
and UNIoN-and also, the privileges of vending
them in any other places for which the right has
not been previously sold.
The advantages which this Machine has over
all others invented are many and obvious. One
boy and three men can 40 all the ,hreshing and
cleaning OF $50 bushels of wheat in one day-and
this usually takes seven hands one day and three
the next. For field ihreshng il takes the lead of
any thing in this world-no grain is scattered OF
lost.
Such is the superiority Of the Horse Power,
that three horses can lhresh as much with it as
four can with any other.
The Machines and Horse Power will he sold
together or seperaIe, TO suit purchasers. Made and
sold in Milton, by the subscribers.
