Kent County.

We have reason to believe our wing
friends in Kent will secure to Mr.. Ev-
ans large majority there. Several gem
tlemen there assured us it would reach
one hundred and thirty. The Kent
News of Saturday last thus refers to the
subject:
"Mr Evans is already so well known
throughout the District as to render it
unnecessary that we should say word
of his qualification for the honorable
and responsible Office for which he has
been selected. He has already represent
ed, 1.-The District for two full terms, and
the people have had ample opportunity
to Judge of his fitness for the Station.
OF the certainty of his election, we do
not permit ourselves to doubt-the pres
tige of success is in his favor-besides
which the District with proper exer-
tons is decidedly Wing. No effort
should be spared to make the majority
as large as possible for it is all impor-
tant that Wing supremacy SO strikingIy
exemplified in the elections of AZ and 40,
should still be maintained. We can say
for Kent that she will do her duty"

Iy~The following article from the
pen Of a gentleman oftalent and inAu-
ence in the opposite party has been sent
us for publication. We have but little
taste for meddling with the disscnsions
which shake the ranks four opponents,
but, inasmuch, as some Of them have ur-
ged it as an objection to Mr. Evans, that
he has been twice in Congress-, and this
article shows the offices that have been
held by the Nc Cullougls, we print it.
We may say here, inrelation to the
time Mr.. E. has been in Congress, that
his service there heretofor, has the bet
ter fitted him for the plac. Manycon
stituencies have kept merbers in for
score of years, and thus by making them
influential members have gained lnAu.
ence for themselves. Itwould be a
strange objection to urge against Mr..
Clay, or General Cass, TIT they had
been in the Senate several trms before;
so, also, is it a strange objection to
Mr.. Evans to say he has beenn Congress
long enough to qualify him tole useful.

A Fact, Every WORD OF II.

The following, from the Noun. Yer.
non (Ohio) True Wing, is recommen-
ded to gratmbling subscribers to news
papers:
sit is not unusual for subscribers to
grumble that there is not reading matter
enough in paper, there are too many
advertisements, the reading is not inter-
esting, &c. The worst grumblers are
the poorest paymasters, and if subscri-
bers would only take care and never
owe the printer, they would greatly
improve the paper. To expect man
who is all the time cramped for money,
with hundreds of dollars owing to him,
to keep his mind on stretch and his
body on run TO raise money enough
to meet current expenses then
about two thirds of the time have to
buy his marketing on credit--to ex-
pee: man thus circumstanced to either
write or select interesting matter, is to
give him credit for powers of intellect
aud equanimity Of temper that would
make him infinitely superior to an arch
angel

The Philosophy Of Swimming is gi

The Philosophy of Swimming is CIV
en- by Elizur Wright, as follows:
'sNo branch of education has been so
much neglected as this. Man is the on
ly animal which does not swim naturally.
He sinks in deep water from the size of
his brain, when not properly exercised.
That is TO say, the weight of his brain a.
bove bis nose sinks that organ b little
beneath the surface, when he is in an e.
rect position, before his body displaces
lis weight of water and thus finds an
equilibrium. With the nose under, one
must breathe water and drown. But
when the brain comes to be exercised e.
nough 10 throw the head back and the
nose up, pointing to the very zenilh,.and
keep hands and feet carefully under wa
ter, then by the eternal laws of hydros-
tatics, the nose will continue above water,
anu the person will float like an empty
bottle which is balanced so as to keep Its
mouth uppermost. No human being
can'sink in still water Of any depth, ~
ing on the back, with hands and feet I'M
der water"

To the Farmers Of Iowa.
McCOrmick's Reaper.

il agent of G.. H.. Mccormick. for
the sale Of his Justly celebrated Patent
Virginia Reaper, is now in the southern
portion Of Iowa, and will visit the coun.
ties of Lee, Desmoines, Henry, Jeffer.
son, Wapello, Van Buren,, Davis. &c
With the late valuable Improvements,
this is unquesion bly, the best, if moi
the only Reaping Machine in this Sec
ton of the country. Mr.. MeCormjck
was the first 10 introduce successfully
the cutting of grain by horse power,
and from his great experience (having
sold in the West thousahds) it would be
strange if he had not the best Machine
now in use. have with me testimoni-
ais of the great value and extensive use
o. this machine to the Western Farmers
in saving their crops. Throughout Hi.
nois where great efforts have been made
TO introduce other machines, McCor.
mick, as the writer fully believes, has
sold and is selling fifty to one. over any
machine. An extensive system of in
ifringement and imposition upon the pub
lie has been practiced in the West bv
the sale of his Reapers altered somewhs'
(not 10 improye) but to evade his patent.
Suits are commenced against the parties,
and many are the overtures for COM
hpromise offered by them. but rejected
by Mr.. Mccormick upon the, ground
that right stolen from him is not a fl
subject for compromise, and can only
he remedied by full restoration. Sey.
mour d Morgan, of Brockport, New
York. who served three years under Mr..
Mccormick, and learned what they
know of him, are the largest operators

Patent. They are enjoined. | have
the papers with me to show how the
whole matter stands, with copies of the
Injunction which | will leave at all the
prominent points in the district nan ed
when il is understood that all person.
using Machine illegally made or sold
in violation of the rights of the Paten
Tee, are equally as liable as the manu-.
fac,nrer, or seller. and can be sued anc
made TO pay damages to the Patentee
and can be prevented by Injunction
from using such machine, it will be per
ceived that The system OF operation:
above alluded to. is not only a fraud up.
on the Patentee. bnt is gross fraud up
on those TO whom machines thus made
are sold. Farmers wishing machines

ted to me, will ensure call. Orders
can also be addressed to Chiilenden &

TO-DAY AND TO-mORROW.


Don't tell me Of tomorrow!
Give me the man who'll say,
That when good deeds to be done
Lets do the deed to-day.
We may all command the present,
If we act and never wait;
But repentance is the phantom
OF the past, that comes too late.
Don't tell me of tomorrow!
There is much to do to-day
That can never be accomplished
If we throw the hours away.
Every moment has its duty
Who the future can foretell2
Then why put off till tomorrow
What to-day can do as well?
Don't feline of to morrow!
If we look upon the past,
How much that we have left to do
We cannot do at last?
To-day! it isthe only time
For all on this frail earth;
Ittakes an age to form life,
A moment gives it birth.
