AMERICAN SUPERIORITY.
The public journals have at different periods
announced, as remarkable proof tthc skill an
proficiency of Amercan Artists, that Dlgucrreo
types are now made in this city superior, in CIV
cry respect, to those made in any of the Euro
pcan cities. This success of American artists
was confirmed, in a very gratifying and couclu
svc manner, BY MIR. Bamum's publicly stating
at Che close of his Tom Thumb exhibition in this
city, that Mr. Root had made fiily-cnc good pic
lures, with only a single failure. In addition to
which, Mr.. r. has been furnished with the fol-
lowing conclusive certificates, signed, it will be
perceived, by the parents of Tom Thumb, by Mir
Darnum, his teachers, and secretary, all OF whom
were with him in Europe

10 the Democracy Of IroQuoiS County.
The result of the late election, should
be lesson to the democrats in this coun-
ty. The evil effects of discord, occasion
ed by personal preferences, are yet fresh
in the memories of all, and in future sho' d
be avoided. Though man may destroy
his competitor by bringing defeat upon his
party. yet in doing so he must take care
that he does not efectualiy destroy him
self. The man who will permit his own
private feelings and personal differences
to influence him to oppose his party, sho'd
not expect any favors from it. Democrats
must now see that nothing is to be gained
by these personal quarrels but disgrace
full defeat, which should cause them to be
avoided in future. s7a -i 81. s1sial
