Fillmore's Prospects.

The Georgia Citizen, paper that hest

support to the American nominations. has
come out war:nl Y in favor of Fillmore and
Is doing noble service in the cause In
the last number, after giving the manifcs-
tations IN different sections of the country
IN favor of Fillmore, the editor remarks /:
That We see, on all sides, unmistakable
Indications that the tide has turned and
now promises to carry Mr.. Fillmore into
the White house, with rush of waters.
No use voting for sold Buck" He can't
get single northern State, not even
Pennsylvania, and the few States he will
get in the South viii only take so much
from Fillmore and benefit the Black Re-
publlcans- This is the sign of the times
to-day Three weeks ago We saw no sign
at all that was favorable to Fillmore. =
Now the barometer shows that the ele-
ments are at work to bring upon us such
another food as swept the country in 1870
\ like flood occurred in 1913, eight wears
afterwards, when Gen. Taylor and Millard
Fillmore were elevated to power And
10! another clean sweep may confidently
be expected"

Mr. PRATT OF MARYLAND.-The In
ION and Anaer'con of yesterday contains a
letter from this gentleman, and thinks his
adherence to the the Cincinnati platform
is valuable acquisition. As this is the
second time Mr. PRATT has united with
the Democracy he will surely stick The
Baltimore Patriot, an Old Line Whig pa
per discloses the following:
Senator Pratt, with a GOODNESS which
has all the qualities of refrigerator, so
far as the Od-Line Wings of Maryland
are concerned, has undertaken work of
supererogation, in announcing himself a
convert to the Pierce Douglas policy and
supporter for the Presidency of the can
didate of the Cincinnati Platform"
1t was hardly worth while in Mr.. Pratt
to make formal declaration of what every
body knew before Nine months ago he
stood IN the same relation to the Democra-
TIC party an 'ohich lie stands today. He
attempted at that early period to put the
Wings in leading strings, but they quietly
told him, in language not to be misunder-
stood, that their nursery days were over.

HAVE purchased the patent right Tor the
4 above great Corn Shelters for the State of Ar
kansasand will at as early day as possible be at
Little Rock, prepared to sell machines and the
patent right tor counties throughout the entire
State.
The rights for this celebrated Corn Shelter have
been disposed of tor every State in the Union. at
enormous rates, and it needs but to be seen to
commend itself to every practical man.
1t commends itself,
1st. By its cheapness.
ID. Durability, simplicity, lightness, portability
and no chance to get out of order
3d. The manner OF doing its work-and this is
curious enough. In all other machines the corn
IS removed by grinding, crushing. mashing,
lamming process but in this it is picked off as a
child would do with its fngers
4th. No matter what is the size of the cob. or
shape every kernel is taken off and done so neatly
that not even the chut or husk that holds the corn
is at all disturbed or rubbed off, hence the corn
Is clean-deposIted in bag or box while the
cobs unbroken are laid on one side by the machine
itself.
5th. All other machines require so much power
that they are almost useless while this is run and
led by hoy of IL years old, W no will she'll from
so to 90 bushels day
9th. But the most wonderful performance of
this curious machine, is the fact that it shells Wet
and Green corn. just as easily as Dry corn
7th. This is the only machine that will select
and she'll corn foI seed, without injury to the
grain.
