This Lamp is simple in its construction, easily
trimmed, and will give light equal to twenty
sperm Candles at cost of one cent an hour.
Its superiority to other lamps consists in the fol-
lowing advantages: there is no brass or other metal
that corrodes which comes in contact with the fluid
the external and internal draughts pass through
the body of the lamp, producing more perfect
combustion, and keeps the lamp perfectly COOL 1t
can be used with open doors and will be less affect
ed by wind or currents of air. than any other lamp.

taken out and the wick raised above the tube sufh
cient to cut off the black or crusted edge. which

GREETED the stand which which we have
taken in the politics of the country. We
are prouder Of our party now, than we
were the day upon which the p9an shout
rolled and echoed and swayed over the
United States, proclaiming that the
vandaIs had been driven from the high
places of the nation, and that the sage
of North Bend had been called by the
voice Of his countrymen to preside over
them. We are prouder now of our
party than when the chances of Henry
Clay for the Presidency seemed not TO
hang on doubt. Our devotion to our
party is warmer now than when we
were battling last summer in the heat
of an exciting campaign. We are prou-
der ofour party now than when in our
youthful enthusiasm we threw ourseli
into its ranks, resolving TO rise or fall
with it. We now kn0w that we are
associated with The purest, the greatest
and best party in the world. We now
kalo,c that in defeat and adversely, in
SANDER and persecution, our party is
true to the country. We have seen IT
defeated and almost lettering to ruin
but like their iron armed ancestors,
:hey have risen out Of ruin and wrongs
TO stand by .heIr conquerors in defending
the hon or of the country, in the man
agement of the internal affairs OF which
they have no share. We have seen it
secuted as the enemy Of Texas be-
cause it had doubts about the proprrety
Of annexng that Province TO the United
States. But when annexation had been
consummated, and such contamination
hadresulted in war and the loss of brave
men and millions of money, then what
sublime picture did it present to the
world? Without a murmur of com
plant, they ask permission to leave
the quiet of home, and ease, and bust
ness, 10 peril their lives beneath the
rays of a sickly sun, and all too, for
the honor oftheir country. Who would
not belong to such party? Who can
doub, that such men might be safely
entrusted with the guidance Of our ma
tional affairs?
