IA cessary. For the past ten or fifteen year
their superiority over other Machines has been full
ly tested by hundreds of the most in elligent and
enterprising FaFaers Of abe State, and their popu-
larity may be known from the fact that we have
never been able to supply the steadily increasing
demand. Bat having recently reftted our shop,
and increased our working force, we trust in future
to be able to keep pace with the orders that q dis
eliminating public may favor us vita.
These Machines were on exhibition at the Stale
Fair in 1854 and '55, in competition with Machines
manufactured in this State, as well as a number
from other States, and took a DIPLOMA and The

A WORD OF PRAISE.

We have not the faculty of speaking very
ilattering words; but the constancy of the
great body of the supporters of Mr.. Banks,
during the late struggle, deserves all praise.
With pleasure do we give place to the follow
ing paragraph from the Washington cores.
pondence of the New York Courier and En-.
quirer and also to a Sonnet to "the Republi.
cans"
There is sublimity in their constancy,
their fortitude, and their courage, to which no
language of mine can do justice. New in their
parliamentary duties, as most of them are they
have adopted the discipline of veterans, and
have learned. without teachers, the great les
son Of obedience to those whom they have vol
UNFAIRLY placed in authority. Opinions may
differ as to the cause to which these gentlemen
have devoted themselves, but it cannot deny to
them the merit which belongs to uD1haken
resolution, and the virtue of fidelity to princi-
pie. Long as l have been an observer of Con-
gressiOnal struggles, l have never befoee wit
messed so striking an example of the power of
discipline and the force of organization. All
honor, / repeat, to the men who have stood in
compact array through the long and doubtful
fight around the Republican banner"
The national era. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1847-1860, 1856-02-14
THE NULLIFIERs AND MR.. BANKS.

The Charleston Is. CO. Mercury does not take
the election of Mr.. Banks as quietly as the
Washington Union, and other South erh prints
resentatives so indisposed to break up The
Union. OF Mr.. Banks, it says-He is +" utterly
INSCRIPTIONS, selfish, and unprincipled true
to none, false to all, politician by trade, and
fanatic by calculation"
His election it pronounces a "triumph o.
Abolitionism "a triumph over the Constitu
ton and the South"
Regarded as an instance of party spirit
and organization, it has no parallel in our his
tory. Abolition has not only elected its candi
date, but elected him in the mode first Proposed
| by it and what is more remarkable, by the
same vote which it gave two months ago. |,
has demonstrated, in the defeat of the Democ
racy and the South, the power of unior."
But, the issues involved in the election in
vest it with its chief importance.
"But rising far above these considerations Of
party discipline, are the issues involved in the
election of Banks. There was neither quib
bling nor shutting in the contest, so far as the
victorious party are concerned. While Rich
ardson, and Pennington, and Fuller, were re-
fining upon points of constitutional construc
tion-expaining here and qualifying there
Banks and the Free-Soiers announced their
creed of Southern determination in the sim
plest FORM"
1t goes on to berate Southern Representa-
tives for permitting such result, and exclaims
"where, we repeat, is there room in Washing
ton for Southern patriot"
There are just as many Southern patriots in
Washington as ever, and still there is room. II
is all true enough, that every argument was
used, every device put in requisition to faster
upon Mr.. Banks the odium of unmitgated
Abolitionism, until, at last, large majority Of
Southern members came to believe it.: and YET
Mr.. Banks was elected, and they acquiesced
They made the pill as bitter as they could, and
then swallowed it.
The fact shows that the clamor of the Slave
ry Party is more for effect than anything else

FELLowCITIZENs: The long pending con

victory in the House of Representatives of tn,
American Congress. The doctrines of Jeffer
son, of the fathers of the Revolution, have beer
re-estabished in this citadel of oppression.
| should do violence to my own feelings, were
/ to remain silent on such an occasion and
seize upon my first leisure moments to tender
you my heartfelt congratulations. It's salu
tary effects are to be enjoyed by you, by your
children, and your chidren's children. pray
you not to understand me as addressing myself
to any particular party: / embrace in these
salutations the people of all parties. Those who
have opposed the progress of Freedom were
honest; and to them and their offspring will
the blessings of a free Government be as i'm.
portant as to those who have labored to lustrate
that Government from the curse of Slavery. In
the fullness of my heart / greet you ali, and
pray that you and our Government may all be
purified from the crimes of oppression.
The I'd Of February, A. ID. 1856, will mark
an important era in the history of Congress.
On that day, a man who dared declare that
he held, with the early fathers of our Republic.
"that all men are endowed by their Creator
with the inalienable right to life and liberty"
was elected Speaker of the House of Repre-
sentatives. He stood firmly on this rock of
truth. The shafts of slaveholding calumny
and vituperation were hurled at him But he
looked his opponents in the face, babe defiance
to their impotent assaults, and triumphed He
was elected upon the identical doctrine, for the
utterance of which was driven from my seat
in this body fourteen years since.
You babe me return, and maintain the doc
trines which had avowed. To the extent of
my humble abilities l have obeyed your behest,
and those doctrines are now recognised by
majority Of this body. In what have done, /
have acted as your agent, representing your
views. If there be honor to those who have
stood firmly as the advocates of Freedom, that
honor belongs to you, in common with those
who acted with you. | claim nothing more
than to have been the fortunate Representative
of your doctrines and interests.
This progress of truth is without a parallel
in the history of our Government. We NAV
well say, 1T is victory of truth over error,
of freedom over oppression, of Justice over
crime" Let it stimulate us to further and
greater efforts. ! rejoice at the appreciation
of this important victory by the People. The
lovers of Liberty may we'll rejoice and these
manifestations of the popular feeling, which
now reach us from all the free States, win serve
in coming time to stimulate our public servants
to boldness Of action.
