IMPORTAar TO MILL OWNERS.

HAVING received my Letters Patent for an i'm

now prepared to furnish Machines to Millers and
Mill Owners.

the first trsl if he will try dress pair of Burrs il
half the time that he can do it with the common
hand-pck in use; and that the work done by
the machine shall be better than be done by nine
out of ten of the best handlers of the common pick
The machine makes clean, clear, thread like mark
and does brittle up break the face of the stone
It can be controlled the will of the operator in
stantly to make the most delicate lick or one with
the force of ten pounds If required Every practical
Miller knows that stone is only required to be dress
ed where the proof staff indicates. This can be done
by the machine no matter how brittle or tender, or
how close and hard the face place on the stone
may be, the operator face it down, or touch rs
lightly as he pleases There three very good
sons for trying them:
First With fair use, the machine will last twenty
years Second 1t is complete within ITSELF and will
not take i've minutes, cost five cents to try it.
Third give with the machine thirty tools, pick
blades which will last any two pair of stones to be
dressed twice week. for two years. and then any
good smith can replace them for twenty five cents
apiece
l have used this machine in my mill for nearly
fourteen mo2ths to dress both the face and the fur

pa We copy from the Cadiz 20. Republican
a notice of the death of Judge Lee one of tho
most estimable citizens of that State
DEATH OF JUICE LEE.-Judge Thomas Lee
died at his residence, in this vicinity, of con-
sumption, on the lst inst. His health had been
gradually declining for year past, and his
death was not unexpected to his friends, vet it
cast gloom over this entire community.
Judge Lee is acknowledged by all to have been
a Qood man in every sense of the word-upriQht
and strictly honest in all his intercourse with his
fellow men, he gained their confidence and re-
spect to the fullest extent; and those who knew
him best respected him most.
For the last fifteen years Judge Lee has been
a leading Anti-Slavery man, and perhaps has
done as much as any other man in the State for
the cause he advocated. On several occasions
he has been the candidate of his party for differ
ent offices, and always received the united and
ardent support of those with whom he acted
politically. AS politician he was bold and ar
dent, and labored with zeal worthy of all
praise. That he actuated by concientious
motives SOLELY in his political course, is admitted
by all; and though some, doubtless, differed
with him as to policy, all accord to him honesty
of purpose. In the death of Judge Lee, the
Anti-Slavery cause has lost one of its Oldest and
most steadfast advocates, the Temperance ref
ormation ardent supporter, the Church one
Of its most consistent and upright members, So
ciety good citizen, and his family kind and
affectionate protector.
THE RIGHTS OF RAILROAD PASSENGERS To
SEATs.-The Marine Court of New York have
rendered an important decision in favor of action
of railroad conductors in ejecting passengers
from seats into which they had obtruded them
selves Two men sued the Hudson River Rail-
road Company for FIVE hundred dollars damages
each, for assault and false imprisonment. The
facts are that they came on the cars at Sing
Sing, where they had drank more bad rum than
was necessary to improve their manners. The
seats in the cars were all occupied, but gen.
tleman had left his seat to enjoy cigar in the
baggage car, and this seat the plaintiffs took
possession of and refused to give it up when
called upon, and when applied to by the con-
ductor, used profane and obscene language,
offensive to ladies. Upon this the conductor,
with necessary assistance, elected the parties
from their seats, and, to prevent their violence
confined them in a small room until the train
arrived in the CITY, For this, action was brought.
The Court justified the action of the conductor.
and dismissed the suit. We hope this will be
taken as a precedent in all future cases of
similar nature 1t was full time that the cues
ton was settled, that through passengers are
entitled to their seats, and not to be ruthlessly
thrust out by every interloper, drunk or sober,
that chooses to crowd himself in, as in the pres
ent case, to the annoyance of a lady

My answer to such a motion is to be
found in the whole volume of my political
life. l have stood upon the Missouri COM
promise for above thirty years and mean
to stand upon it to the end Of my life /; and
in doing so shall act, not only according to
my own cherished convictions of duty, but
according to the often-declared convictions
Of the General Assembly of my State. The
inviolabi!ity of that compromise line has
often been declared by that General Assem-
bly,; and as late as ls47, in these words:
Resolred, That the peace, permanency,
and welfare of our national Union depend
upon strict adherence to the letter and
spirit of the eighth section Of the act of

An act to authorize the people Of the Mis-
sosri Territory to form q coRaitxtion and
