A CAR ID.
HUSSEY'S REAPER.

We the undersigned farmers Of Montour
and adjoining counties were at the trial Of
Mowers on the 22d Of June 1857, on the
farm of ohm Mowrer in Mahoning township,
MOntour county. Three Machines were
brought into the field, namely: Hussey's I'm.
proved Reaper and Mower manufactured by
Geddes Marsh g. Co., of Lewisburg Pa,
Manny's Patent, manufactured OF Hoo:ick
Fails. y. Y, aud Ketchum's manufactured at
Reading by Boas g. Spdngier. The machines
were worked by the owners or agents. AZ
ter seeing the operation of the three ma
chimes, We give our preference to the Hus-
sey Reaper and Mower, for the following
reasons"
/. We think it is the most durable ma.
chine.
9 1t costs less than the Mannys and the
Ketchum's.
g. 1t is very simple in its construction and
not liable TO get out Of order.
4. 1t is manufactured in this section Of the
country.
And we would say to our neighbors, that
if you want good, durable and reliable Rea.

Not one cent OF this money should have
been taken from the State Treasury. II
should have come from the persons Who en-

No officer or officers Of the State had legal

The Time to Buy Land.

The present, says the Iowa City Republi-
can, is a peculiarly favorable time to buy
land in Iowa. Not for purposes Of specula'
ton, but to furnish homes for those who
would better their condition by abandoning
tho crowded towns and cities in the East.
Thousands of men who bought choice lands
on speculation, in various portions of the
State, are compelled, by tho stringency Of
times, to dispose Of them. Tens of thousands
Of acres may be bought at rates within the
reach Of men Of small means. 1t will pay
much better to buy lands thus carefully Sc
lectod by shrewd men, familiar with tho adj
vansases Of localities in Iowa, than to 60 to
the very verge Of settlements to secure wild
lands; where, Of necessity, the settler must
endure much Of privation, deny himself and
family all tho comforts of well settled
ncighborhood, and make improvements with
thu. greatest difficulty, at worry expensive
rate. In many of the Counties Of the State,
already settled bya class Of good people,
lands have sheen taken up, because the pre-.
portion of timber and water make. them de-
sirable for farming purposes. Large guam
titles Of thesc lands are now in market again;
and tho cash will buy them At prices that
may almost be named by the purchaser
Such state Of affairs cannot be Of long
duration. Therefore it is that We would
advise persons East, who want to buy lands
in Iowa for actual settlement, to make a
strike at the present time. They can hardly
60 amiss anywhere in the State, and b. in
vesting little capital now, they may lay
the Foundation Of future competency in ono
Of tho most healthy and prosperous States in
tho Crest West. ~ ~. - w =. ~

1t will be remembered that the Collins
Steamship Pacific, left Liverpool for New
York, little more than year and half
since, with large number of passengers,
and was never heard from afterwards. The
Paris Moniteur, the official paper of the
French Government, makes the following
statement:
"The maritime project of Brest has trans.
mitted to the Minister Secretary of State for
Navy and the Colonies, a note written with
pencil in English, ana which was enclosed
in glass bottle found on the l4th of Sep
TENDER, 1857, on the strand of Melon, in the
syndicate of Porspoder department of
Finiscrs.) Great interest is attached to this
note, which appears to have been written
by passenger on board the American
steamer Pacific, supposed to be wholly
lost, with all hands, in 1856, and We
think it therefore our duty to publish its

From the Washington Republic, November T.
y Ast0undinR Deyelepments.

Gen. Gadsden, our late Minister to Me1i.
co, in communication to the Charleston
Mercury, under date of Oct. %, introduces
letter to himself, dated Oct. 4, from an
American correspondent ut the city of Mcxi-
CO, who, he says, ssenjoys the most favora-
bic opportunities of obtaining information
on the American diplomacy practiced in
Mexico" and is, "a discerning and most dis
Greet observer Of events.
The correspondent whose opportunities to
know and intelligence to understand are
thus vouched for, afirms that "the Minister
(Mr. Forsyth) is instructed to offer to pur-
chase territory larger than the whole of the
Southern States" n sz ssss .v...=.-s.
This confirms our warning to the country,
few days ago, that some 'sxAGNIFIcENT
Mexican Treaties were in process of gesta-
ton. -. .ssty. exs m "a ,sar
It's true that Gen. Gadsdea's correspon
dent doubts If Mexico will sell any more
territory, and that he considers the sum Of
fered, which he says ''does not reach half
the amount at which real property is assess
ed in South Carolina" to be inadequate,
and not likely to accomplish the object. All
this, however, is matter of opinion, and it
is to be noted that the correspondent writes
in complaining spirit of the Administra-
ton as not being disposed to do enough, OF
60 far enough for the 'sinterest Of the
South" in this business.
The reference to the assessed value of real
property in South Carolina, gives about if
ty millions of dollars rs the sum probably
offered by Mr.. Buchanan. This may be said
to be moderate, being one half what the
same man offered for Cuba nine years ago.
Now, are the people of this country will
ing to be robbed Of their money; will they
permit their treasury to be plundered; OF
will they suffer great debts to be piled up,
for the sake Of securing certain interest
in what General Gadsden's correspondent
calls. most significantly, ga new Kansas"
The question that We make to the coun-
try is one of dollars and cents. II princi-
pie cannot be effectively appealed to, GER
tainly the pocket can be; aud if ever, now,
at this period of gloom, destitution and
bankruptcy. 8a
There are dangers in all directions under
the rule Of the men now in power, but the
most pressing and immediate danger is a
swindling treaty with Mexico, with 4 very
wide margin of plumber to induce the Sem
ate to ratiiy it, and the House to vote the
money.

Revival Of a National Bank.


We last week made mention Of the fact
that the National hatelHgencer and the n.
Y. Herald, were strongly adv ocating the es-
tablishment of a National Bank. We now
notice that the Washington Union, the Or
gan of President BUCHANAN, throws out
hints that the administration have under
consideration project partaking somewhat
of that nature. The plan has not yet been
agreed upon. but it can be seen from the
following, from the Union, that one will be
forthcoming in due unexpectedly, the
Presidents Message will contain an inkling
of the nature of the animal:
The readers of the Union are we'll aware
that we have for some time been discussing
the evils, the consequences, and the demor-
alizing effects of our present system Of bank
ing. We have satisfied ourself, at least, that
the present system is unsound, unsafe and
prejudicial to the true interests and wants
Of the country. -
We think that we risk nothing in saying
that this is the public verdict-the true phase
of public opinion. The popular sentiment
is, that there shall be n radical reformation
in the present system of banking, and that
it shall be replaced by something better, and
more usefully adapted to the wants of the
country. As yet, we have suggested nothing.
Indeed, We have fixed our mind on no par
ticular plan. And amidst the number Of
schemes proposed, it is difficult, perhaps, to
select that which is practically best. In
due time, however, We shall propose such a
plan, as further information and further re-
lection may suggest, as combining the
greatest advantages for all classes Of men
and occupations in our country.

4 Protest.


A lady writes an indignant letter to New
York editor, who recently made a statement
to the effect that s.the articles of imported
luxury consumed by woman last year was
$i3 ,624,55S; and to this little item of
$4,000 for perfumed SOAP" Upon which
item she comments as follows - E
"Now, sir, in 1850, according to the GEN.
sus returns Of the United States, there were
$500, 1868 white females over the age Of
fifteen years, and the amount Of foreign silks,
embroiderics, laces, shawls, gloves, furs,
jewelry, &C., (and this charges to the wosnen
all the silks, gloves and jewelry, &C., inn
ported consumed by each woman 10 the
enormous sum of seven dollars and eighty
cents, during the year. Surely this is enough
to bankrupt any country, to impoverish any
people, to bring scrisis' upon any land -
Now, do you not think that the American
women are outrageously cxtrayagant in using
out of 1914 $3.50, 942 Of imports: some $40, ;
100000 And this to pay them for all the
cooking, baking, broiling, brewing, Washing,
ironing, making, mending, stitching nursing,
watching, &C., for the lords Of creation and
their children! If the services of the
5,590, 1868 white females are worth 800 a
year each, the aggregate Of their labor |,
$559, 086, 800, and yet they consume only
about one seventh u all the foreign impor-
tations. This Is not very extravagant. As
4 general thing, women much more than pay
their way, and their work is never done.0

it Is pleasant to see that the "outside barba-

ty, and advancing in the direction of Chris
tian philanthropy. The Emperor Alexander
is taking steps to abolish the serfdom Of his
vast domains, an institution Of centuries,
but which the advancing light Of Christian
ity must naturally slough away. The Dutch
Government, We are told, is following in the
same direction. 1t has determined to eman-
cipate the slaves in its West India Islands.
The plan is to remuncrate the owners by a
fair compensation and then tax the labor of
the emancipatcd slaves, till fund is created
for wiping out the debt. The number of
persons to be set free BY their emancipation
act cannot be very large, but the act itself ID
4 blow at the servile industrial system, and
will be felt as such throughout the world
1t is step in the right direction, made at
the right time, and by the right people, long
