his machine renders it one of the most valuable of
modern inventions, being of the utmost importance
athose already engaged in the manufacture of leath-
e besides offering the greatest inducements to 9TH
en for starting the business
BY this machine, which in it's operation strictly
olows the principles of the old way, all kinds of
hides and skins may be tanned, not only so as to
produce superior article of leather, but with sa-
nng of seventy-fve per cent. in time, and fifty per
cent In labor, besides great economy in bark or
AIMING material. >. ..5F
A tannery in which the improved method was
sdopted, would, by its savings alone, be attended

dollars an establishment can be started which will

Eehty to th'rty days, upper leather in two weeks,
anu caliskIns IN from three to seven days. The

FROM SANTA FE.

A correspondent at independence, to
whom we have frequently been indebted
for similar favors, sends us intelligence
from Santa Fe to the Both Of March.
Gen. CoNDE was to be in Santa Fe in
May, to enforce the law against the IN
PRODUCTION of contraband goods. Things
were all quiet except with the Indians.
The revolution in the Government oil
Mexico created no excitement whatever.
The local Government quietly pronoun-
ced in favor of PAREDEs, and there is no
doubt that they would accommodate them
selves to any other change with equal
facility.
Our correspondent says there are great
numbers of persons in Independence on
the route to California. The unsettled
state of affairs has discouraged some per.
sons from going to New Mexico.-St.

NEXT GOVERNOR.

The question Of who shall be the Wh;9
candidate for Governor, is beginning -
be pretty freely discussed by the Whir
press of the State; and a number of dis
tinguished individuals have been naue,l
as suitable candidates for the office. =,
mongst whom may be noticed, Gen. Jo-
seph Markle, OF Westmoreland COUNTY.
Hon. James Cooper of Adams; Hon
James Irwin, of Centre; Hon. T. NJ. T
McKennan, of Washington, and John
Strohm, Of Lancaster. These are sll
''good and true men," of whose honesty.
capability and patriotism, none can doubt,
The question Of availability. therefore.
should have ITS due consideration in de.
termining the choice; and, from the
unusually large vote polled for the gallant
soldier of Mississinewa, at the last Gu-
bernatorial election, we would infer that
the most hattering hope Of success points
to the nomination Of that individual
Should the Convention, however. deter.
mine otherwise, the friends of Gen. Mar.

in support ofthe Nominee.-West. Intel
