Gardner q Rohr's wheat Drill,
SEED PLANTER.

:TENHE undersigned having purchased the right
II to manufacture and sell this unequaIled
Drill in the counties of Loudoun, Clarke, and
the southern half Of Jefferson, are now fully pre-
pared st their establishment in Charlestown TO
furnish to order any number Of Drills, made in the
most substantial manner. All orders promptly
attended to.
This Wheat Drill performs the triple work of
Drilling, Sowing and Covering by the same
movement, thereby saving much time and labor:
IL will plant point rows, and all irregular shaped
fields, with a saving of from 10 to Is per cent. in
labor, it will, with ease for two horses, plant from
9 ID 10 acres per day of Wheat, Barley, and other
small grains. This Machine has been in use
;,w1 seasons, and wherever it has been introduc-
:ad has given entire satisfaction.

we have in our possession a large number OF
:ceftifcates, recommending this Drill to the far
mtr as having no superior. Among the number
the following:
/ have used on my farm and am still using one
.ofthc Wheat Drills, patented by Gervis S. Gard
ner aud George Rohr, and now sold by Messrs.
i!lcnson, O'Bannon and Hunt. l do not suppose
any intelligent farmer would now dispute the
advantage of drilling over broadcast sowing; l
also consider the above Drill altogether equal to
any drill now in use, and the advantage of apply.
ing a compost box to it, makes it very desirable
The compost part of the drill acts welLin every
particular and is one of the greatest inventions of
the day for the farmer; it might well be called the
farmers friend, as it saves both time and labor.

Tue CHARACTER OF THE WING
CANVASS.

It is not within the compass Of our mother
tongue to furnish epitbets that can fully present
the character Of the warfare adopted by certain
Wing politicians and Wing editors against zen.
Franklin Pierce. 1t would seem, indeed, that
their fear Of defeat-their great dread OF losing
their hold on the political power and the spells
in which they now partiCipate-has induced a
recklessncss Of conduct approaching the Vagaries
of mOnOmaniacs.
Look at them! In the teeth Of their present
IDOL, Gen. Scott, who, in his official communica-
tiOns, repeatedly commended Franklin Pierce for
his g~allantry and efficiency as an officer, their
stump speakers and editors are laboring to spread
among the people the Ioulest ISLANDERS, represent
ting him as inefficient and cowardly. And yet
these speakers and writer's would fam be COnsl'
dered men OF honor and veracity
Look at them! From the capital Of the re-
public they are sending 10 the North and East
productions from the abolition press i'll this city,
sole purpose of keeping alive the hostility OF abo-
litionism against the people OF the Southern
States, and uniting all who have at any time
p~artaken OF that hostility TO oppose Gen. Pierce,
because of his uniform opposition to abolition
movements in Congress and in his own Slate.
AT the self-same moment these party managers
are sending to the Southern States the Republic,
(CO.laborer with the Era in deiamation,) con-
tanning labnred and reckless misrepresentation
touching Gen. PierCe's views on The fugitive
slave law, and holding him up to our southern
fellow citizens as entertaining opinions thereon
guile satisfactory TO G6OlitiOniSiS! And yet these
editors and party managers would fain be con-
sidered as regardful ofthe restraints which should
govern the conduct Of honest men!
