Il tent for new and beautiful cooking Range
TO which they invite the attention OF the public.
This Range may be set in an ordinary fire
place; andby simple, though eieclual appara-
tus, the throat of the chimney may in an instant
of time, be opened or closed, so that the heat in
summer and the fumes from cooking at all times
may escape through the chimney.
Wood or coal may be used, and the evil of
smoking. chimneys is completely remedied by
its introduction.
This range is SO constructed that il takes up
but small space, and yet it contains all the
qualities Of those which lake up double the n.
mount and il being construc'eda as ii is, the Boil.
ers are brought in close proximity with the fire,
and it consequently bois much sooner and with
smaller amount of fuel than the old fashioned
Ranges, or cook stoves. Ii contains five boilers,
four of which may be converted into two, by ta-
king out cross piece, and thus will admit of
two large boilers at the same time. IL also con-
tains an Oven ~ inches wide by 81 deep, which
cannot be surpassed for bsking.
The subscribers have one of their Ranges in
operation at their store, where the public are in
vited TO call and examine it, and il they will

keep constantly on hand all kinds OF Parlor, Of

 Resolved, Ina. we approve of the custom of our party in meeting in Convention. believing the same 10 be necessary 10 secure harmony and union in our ranks and to bring out full expression of tic public wiil and to produce efficiency and con cert of action.
 Resoiced, That the war now existing between the United states and Mexico, was provoked by the bad faith of the Mexican government towards the United States, and repeated violations of the most solemn treaties, existing between that nation and our republic; and that the Mexican armies crossing the Rio Grande, and xpiiling the blood oi our e6untrymen on own soil, was eau uiyalent 10 deciaraton ei war; on the part of that govern inent; that we fully approve of the prompt and energetic manner of the President ia taking neasa ares to rePe Inc invasion, and calling on the Con gress of the United States, to fnrnish means and men to conquer speedy and honorable peace; and that tho able and efficient manner in which in, preseht Shiei MagistFats has guided the helm of State, hlls our most sanguine expectations. and proves him to be, not only practical and eiFcen, Chief Magistrate, but an able and accomplished Statesman.

The supcranuated podder at the head of that mercenary sheet, long since promised to "sift the matter to the bottom," and expose the actors in this dark plot. Yet we have had nothing from him bul the obloqny and vindictive brawling which we suppose Is required from him, as the weekly bou,- age due to his political master.
