GREATEST WONDER OF THE AGE.
TWELVE DOLLAR
Family SesCi1sg .NNchissc!!
This Machine is very simple in its structure,
weighing about six pounds, impossible to get out
ofordcr, well adapted to nearly ailkinls of fami-
ly sewing. 1t is unlike and far superior to every
other machine now in use. A child ten years of
age can successfully perform more labor single
in day with this machine than the best seamstress
can in ten days by hand.
An Extract from the Chicago Demo
cratic Press"
awe have examined the above machine care
fully and say without hesitation, that we do not
remember, during the whole of our editorial ca
reer, of having our attention called to an inven-
ion that is more worthy of public patronage than
this or one that is calculated to confer greater
benefit on the people at large"
An Extract from the Davenport DAILY
Democrat"
SEWING MAcHINE--Ihe thing is done. No
more shall busy housewives lament the want
time to sew, mend and repair sheets, shirts, pants
or any article of clothes or dress. A machine
has been invented and produced which reigns
sovereign of the ascendant. 1t is simple, plain,
cheap, and works as a sewing agent, with the
most astonishing rapidity, and with such stitch
as defies the greatest strain. None will examine
it without admiration, and none will go away
without buying it after seeing its wonder-work-
ing ingenuity.
1t is no humbug no Yankee nutmeg affair to
swindle honest men with, but Sewing Machine
which is the monarch Of its kind"
This wonderful machine can be seen in opera
ton at the store Of ]. G. Jerome, where the SUBJ
scribers are prepared to exhibit it, and furnish
them to order. The citizens Of Clayton and sur.
rounding country are respectfully solicited to
call and investigate the greatest wonder Of the
age.

The Kanzas news., 1857-08-08


Just at this time, many of the citizens of
this neighborhood are being no little exor
cised IN reference to the adoption of law
to restrain the porkers from running at large.
A meeting was held few days since at Mr..
Hadley's, on the Cottonwood, and ''hog
law" passed which is to take effect on the
18th inst. This is strenuously objected to
by those owning hogs, as not giving suffi-
cient time in which to shut them up, and al
so that as there is no corn in the country at
present, the hogs must suffer for want of
food On the other hand, it is claimed that
if the hogs are not shut up Immediately,
many persons entire corn crop will be
destroyed. The matter has elected eonside-
rable feeling, and another meeting is to be
held, we believe, in few days, to endeayor
to annul the action of the first one.
For our own part, we are satisfied that the
interests of a majority of the people demand
that law to restrain hogs from running al
large, should be adopted. This may not bt
the proper time to adopt it, and the one adop-
ted at the meeting at Mr.. Hadley's may be
unjust for aught we know, not being ae-
quainted with all the facts in the case. But
We are satisfied that next season, if not soon
er, law of that kind will be adopted.

that the immortal Walker astilI lives and
that he and his army arrived in front of
Lawrence this morning and encarhped at
their old quarters.
The water-carts are still busy at their
work of treason-the city seavengers are

orally are breaking the lawsi The whiskey
shops are In high glee, and the rebellious
Lawrenceites ''feel goods under the infie-

It is reported that Gen. Lane is the au-
thor of the despatch which caused the de-
parture of Walker,-and a good deal of
merriment is excited by the outwitting of

ously, what does the man mean by thus
coming back? Is he mad, or does some
deep-laid scheme of yillainy lie beneath !?

The British Proposition to Reopen
the Slave Trade.


The Washington correspondent of the
New York Times, writing on July 18th,
says:
The serious attention of this government
has been called to the contemplated design
on the part of England to establish an Afri-
can emigrant society, under the hypocriti-
cal pretense of its philanthropic desire to
ehristianize Africa, Dut really to monopolize
the whole of the African slave trade into its
own hands. 1t proposes to send these wild
Africans to India, where the cooley system
has failed, and also to the British West In
dies. The plan is to establish emigration
agencies in Africa, provide suitable vessels
for their passage, make voluntary contracts,
see TO proper facilities Of return 6y getting
tie services Of the african os as lose eoadi-
ton possible, and thus drive all eompeti-
ton of slavery out of the field, by putting
an end to the exgiencies which maintain It.
The whole scheme Is but design in con-
junction with the t'cotton supply associa-
ton," to break down the planters in the
southern states and West Indies. 1t is ar
gued that the average cost of slave in the
West Indies is 500 and that a free Mack
eRigrdat could be landed for about S35,
leaving difference in the first price to COW
eF an infnity of minor expenses. AT this
rate, it is calculated that it win be impossi-
bic for our southern planters TO compete with
free Mack enasgrnRt labor, while the slave
West India islands win be prevented from
obtaining any more slaves from the coast.
Were England TO attempt this course, it
would be in violation of the treaty made with
England and France for the suppression OF
the slave trade, as her system of free black
emigration would be far more inhuman than
thePresent slave trade, if not more infamous
Than the present apprenticeship system.
Ii is expected that our government viii
signify to England and France that such a
course would meet with its entire disappro-
baton.

On Monday morning last, the Autocrat
tof all the Kanzas, Robt. J Walker, was
found to be on the move westward with the
army of occupation. A report had arrived
that the Cheyennes were about to attack
Fort Riley and therefore it became incum-

mediately to its assistance. Lawrence is
quiet. Order reigns in Warsaw" The
immortal City Government still proceeds
with the execution of Its functions, guarded

Gov. Walker has accomplished great results.
The following coupiet win fitly illustrate
