son, bearing the olive branch, and holding it
up as an offering to the South and the North
Her mission is glorious one.
1t is consideration no man should fail
to weigh, no matter what his former partizan
connections, that the one prime issue in the
contest is Union against Secfionalism. This
is the aspect in which every voter should in
the first instance view the question to whom
he will give his support. Mr.. BUCHANAN
stands pledged faithfully to execute the con-
stitution and rightly to enforce the laws
That is the sum and substance of the plat
form upon which he stands. He will, en-
phatically, in the administration Of affairs,
know no South, no North, no East, no West;
or, perhaps it is better to say, he will know
alike all sections-treat them all alike-re-
quire from all alike loyalty to the constituted
authority. He will protect as well the insti-
buttons of the South as the North. He will
guard equally the rights of ALL Slavery, under
the law, he will protect, in the same manner
that he will protect any interest within the
scope of executive constitutional action. This
point we state with emphasis. But he will
do no more than this. He will no more aid
slavery propagandism than he will aid aboli-
ton propogandism. This is the attitude in
which he is presented to the country. There
is no attempt there will be no attempt, to
blink, in any quarter, the question of slavery.
That question must be determined by this
election. Mr. BUCHANAN must be chosen
with the full knowledge of every voter that
he is committed not merely against further
agitation on the subject, but is pledged to
carry out to its legitimate end the doctrine of
non-intervention by Congress with slavery eli
ther in State or Territory, or the District of
Columbia, and to enforce, by the employment
of all the power of the Federal Government,
the fugitive slave law.
There is no other way, than that which
Mr.. BUCHANAN will pursue, to restore repose
to the country. The general government can
abolish slavery nowhere. Wherever slavery
law fully exists, certain duties are incumbent
upon the general government respecting it,
and these duties are as imperative as any 9th
er duties, and can no more be neglected than
the most paramount duty. If performed in
good faith, as they will be, and if their per-
Torrance is sustained by the prevailing pub
lie sentiment of all parts of the confederacy,
will not repose ensue? And will not their
performance be sustained? Are not the
great mass of the people welded to the con-
stitution, and do they not hold that the grand
political obligation of every citizen is to main
tain the supremacy of the laws?
The constitution and the laws are the olive
branch which Pennsylvania has placed in
Mr.. BUCHANAN's hands, and which he will
hold out as an offering Of peace to the North
and the South. Detroit Free Press.

Die0,

In Tamadge, on the 18th inst, of congestion of
the lungs, GEORGE BAXTER, aged 80 years.
Mr. BAXTER was one of the earliest settlers of
Ottawa county, having been q resident of Tall
madge for seventeen years. He, like most of the
settlers of that day, commenced with nothing but
his own hands and an indomitable energy to carve
for himself home in the Wilderness BY strict
integrity and persevering industry he has, indeed,
caused his wilderness home to blossom like the
rose. In his death the town has lost one of her
most prominent and useful citizens, and the inter
ests of agri culture an able and practical advocate.
He leaves wife and two children to mourn his
loss as well as numerous circle of friends and
acquaintance. Com.

Ets" Mr.. Elihu Burritt writes to the N. Y.
Herald from New Britain, Connecticut, in
relation to his project for line of electric
telegraph between San Francisco and st.
Petersburg, cross Behring's Straits. 1t is
said that Russia has already six thousand
miles in operation. Some of her lines,
doubtless, are reaching eastward, towards
the Ural Mountains. AT the conclusion of
the war, she will be sure to extend them
eastward into her Asiatic provinces. She
will have the best skill that American genius
can supply to assist her in these enterprises;
and she will undoubtedly be ready to meet
the United States half the way, and perhaps
more than half the way, in connecting New
York and st. Petersburg.
A MONSTER BENEFIT.-We learn from the
N. Y. Sun, that Barnum's friends are putting
their heads together to get up monstrous
benefit, from which to realize sufficiency to
purchase fine homestead for his family
The proposition is, to give benefits at each of
the several places of amusements on conse-
cutive nights, thus maintaining round of
amusements all for the same purpose, for
ten days or fortnight together. Burton
has offered, for this purpose, the gross re-
ceipts at his establishment on any night which
may be selected. Tom Thumb has offered
to perform under Mr.. Barnum's own super
vision every night and at every place while
and where the benefit lasts; and Mr.. Cough
has offered the entire proceeds of one of his
famous temperance lectures at the Academy
of Music,-enough for pretty good start, at
all events. Some of the newspapers, too,
have offered to do all the necessary advertis-
ing for the season "free gratis for nothing"
The CANADIAN MINIsTRY.-The latest adj
vices from the seat of government of Canada
indicate the restoration of nearly all the re-
Gently resigned ministers, under the direction
of Mr.. Tache, who is assigned the Premier
ship in place Of Sir Allen McNab.
BELGIANs AT GREEN BAY.-The Green
Bay AdOocate notices the arrival of 900
Belgians at that point this spring, and states
that there are from 5000 to 1000 more on
the way there. They settle principally on
the Peninsula, between Green Bay and Stur-
geon Bay, and are described as strong and
healthy looking settlers,

Pitts Threshing Machine.

DITTS Machine for Threshing and Cleaning
II Grain stands without a rival in the world. L
is the first successful portable machine of it's kline
ever put in operation in this or any other country
1t was offered for the public use before the har
vest of 1897 and from that time down to the pres
ent moment there has been no improvement made
in the principle of the machine by any inventor
in the same line.
At the great trial of Threshing Machines in the
Kingdom of France, in competition with the best
Machines of all foreign countries, the Pitts Inven
ton won the highest prize given to any exhibitors
for competition.
At the great trial in France, in 1855, the net re-
suits of q half hours earnest work by the rival
threshers and six men with fails Ca force estimat.
ed about equal to one of the machines), is as fol-
lows:
Six men with fails, 60 litrcs of wheat
Pitts American Thresher, TAO 3"
Catons English Thresher, 40
Duncir's French Thresher, $50 4"
Pinets Belgian Thresher $50
Thus it is seen that the American Machine
threshed and cleaned 740 litres of wheat in 30 min
utes, and the English, French and Belgian Ma
chimes combined, but $40; showing that the diff.
ference between the American, and three others
combined was only 20 litres of wheat in favor of
the latter.
The machine is manufactured and sold by III. A.
PITTS one of the inventors and patentee, at his
Agricultural Warehouse, West Randolph ST., Chi
cago.
Also. Pitts Improved Double Pinion Horse Pow
CIR, for either eight or ten horses. The Power re-
ceived the premium at the last Illinois State Fair,

scene and bring to remembrance the wild
almost frantic JOY that pervaded the old whig
ranks in the palmy days of

entertain profund respect for the democratic
nominee, who, for the last forty years, has

news of depression in the European markets
of breadstuffs generally, wheat and flour are
still on a decline in our market. The Grand

Union, in respect to the forthcoming grain
crops, and all agree as to bright prospects in
every locality, for an unusually abundant
yield. Look out for plenty and still lower
prices after harvest.
