pulled out,
They are all made with the highest mechani.
cal skill, and all warranted to work we'll Oh nj
kinds of goods, from the Highest Fabric to
Heavy Leather. In particular, we would cali
the attention of all to our new Family SEWN
Machine. 1t has been manufactured expressly
for Family Use, and has met with favor from
all. Il is SO simplified as to render it almoSt
impossible to get out of order, or derange its
operations; indeed t is SO simple as to ast0nsy
one. that so small piece Of mechanism wIl
sew.
Below, we give a DIES cription OF the ditereil
styles OF the Weed Patent.
no. 4 Is very convenient style, which cat
be worked by hand or foot, on or Oft its owa
table. For convenience of shipping, and aise
for large manufactures, where 1t is necessary
to place a number of Machines into lona
beuch, making one table answer fer them all
Price, $50.
No. 2, With Walnut or Mahogany liable
either with or without Box Top, which locAs
down Price 800, and $40.
No. 3, Same size as No. 2, but runs with
belt, and at a much higher rate of Speed. Thi-
kind is well adapted to manufacturing Clofhine
or Leather work. rel fe.-.. a..
This is really the cheapest Machine IA ms
market, as there is no work done on a Sewing
Machine that it will not do. 1t is confidently
asseI ted that this Machine runs easier than any
machine now in use. Price, 300.
no. &. This Machine has long arm, 10 &c
commodate large work. 1t runs at high rate
of speed, runs easily, and is, without doubt
the best Machine tor Iallors' use, ever offered
to the public. 1t Is also peculiarly fitted TOT
plantation work, as it is very simple yet suh
stsntial and durable, with but little liability to
get out of order. Price, $3.50.
Nc. 8. This is new and cheaper style, ant
general tavorite for Family, Light Leather
and great variety of work. 1t has been gotten
up with reference to furnishing strong and
durable, yet light and tasty Machine, at less
price than either of the above. 1t runs YER
easy, rapidly, and is pronounced the best M.
chine now in market, for $50. ~ p r4e
no. o. This is a Machine got up on an entire
ly new principle, different from anything ever
before offered to the public, and we confidently
assert that, for family use it has not an equal.
1t is very light and tasty, runs very rapidly, is
almost noiseless in its operation, and uses "a
straight SleedIe. 1t is SO arranged as to be
utterly impossible for it to miss stitches 1t has
q tension on both sides, and carries large sup
ply of thread on the under spool. The motions
are gained by Two small crpnks that run with
out perceptible noise. The two threads are
worked in such q manner as never to both pull
at the same time, and consequently, little liable
to break. The seam is very elastic, and tbs
thread does not break in washing. 1t will do
coarse work better than any cheap machine now
in market, as it uses silk, cotton, or linen with
equal facility. Price, $50. - ',-

totor to HuGH You've, and in the last issue
takes an eloquent and feeling leave of his read
ers. We part with Mr.. COBB, with unaffected
regret During the time he has published the
Agitator, he has batted zealouSly and faith.
fully in the cause of Human Rights his re-
ward has not been pCcuniary pne, but he has
the satisfaction of knowing that Toga has a
healthier state of public feeling than any other
county in the State, much'of which has been
owing to his unweared efforts, and steady per
Sistence in the straightforward path. Such
men as CoBB are the salt of the earth-and
though their lahors may be unappreciated and
the sound state of popular feeling, long after
they are forgotten. Wherever his lot may be
cast in the wide, wide world" we wish him
abundance Of success, pecuniarially and politi-
cally. We have his assurance that "this field
is abandoned only that he may enter another
where there is pioneers work to be done"
Mr. YoUNG who takes the place of Mr.. COBB
is not an untried soldier, nor without editorial
experience He has seen service during the
Kansas difficulties, and was correspondent

uected with the Kansas Herald of Freedom

TIE DorGLAs ASD FIrcH QUARREL.-The
correspondence between Douglas and Fitch is
highly Pickwickian. 1t is full OF ifs butts, ex-
plantations, withdrawals and everything but
Gls evidence of desire TO fight. Neither
party meant to fight, and nobody expected to
see them fight, except on paper.
Fitch has rather the advantage, 80 far as
any exists, for 10 thorough going dnellist could
accept explanations so equivocai'as those which
he rendered to Mr.. DongaS and the haste
with which he laws the correspondence before
the public shows a consciousness of having the
best OF the contest This however, does not
prove Fitch's bravery He must do something
else to demonstrate personal courage, than
merely back down so evasivr foe as Mr.,
Douglas, whose armory of qnibhles would ont
last the patience of all the duelliStS in the
8enate however perseveringly they may urge
him to an engagement.

sylVania, was communicated the Jufi icary Com
mittee of the House of Representatives Thurs,
day. They will suspend all further nvestiga-
tion concerning his impeachment, report to the
House the fact Of the resignation, and await
its action.
1t is rumored that Attorney General Black,
dsSa tis6ed with monopolizng spirit with which
the President dspenSes the federal patronage,
and unable to fulfil his early promises to po-
litical friends, is anxious to resign and succeed
Judge Irwin. Mr.. Buchanan is perfectly nsa-

HARRISBURG, Jan. 2o, 1850
E. 0. GooDEICH The committee in the
case Of the contested election from the Sd Rep
resentative District of Philadelphia, has run
down to the city taking evidence, and some
very rich things indeed have already been de-
veloped The strikers of that city having
been trying to out-herod the ruffians" of

The case from the 18th district of Phiadel-
phia, was dismissed by the committee as un-
worthy of investigation, and Mr. EVANS, dem,
retains bis seat
The contested case from Cambria county is
progressing slowly. 1t already shows state
of political depravity rarely seen in the coun-
try. The Judge of the beard in Washington
township, the contested precinct, was post
master, one Inspector was n German, who
could neither speak, read nor understand
word of English, and could give testimony to
the committee only through an Interpreter
One of the Clerks was p NJ, and the clerk
was so Dutch he could scarcely write a ord
They were unsworn, and beautifully drunk the
entire day the ballot boxes were cigar boxes
without covers, not sealed up after election,
but set in the back room of storc-honse. open
and exposed to the public, all Of which would
not have been very criminal had it not been
for the fact, that with but lis votes in the
town, they contrived to poll 437 votes, over
4Oh of which were given for Mr. PORTER, the
sitting member. There seems to have been
strife between the 4th Ward of Philadelphia,
and Washington, Cambria Co, to see which
should dive the deepest, and come out the filth
lest in the pool of political depravity.
The bill to reduce the pay of members of the
Legislature was reached on Tuesday last, Mr..
THORN, of Philadelphia, said, nasmuch as the
gentleman who introduced and had charge of
the bill was absent on leave, as matter of
courtesy to him, he would move that the sub
iect be postponed, which, of course, was almost
unanimously agreed to. The knowing ones
now, with thumb on nose, say it cannot be
called up but by tWo-thirds vote If such
be the case it stands the new members in hand
to look out for mantraps and snakes There
may be way Of reaching it yet
Efforts are continually being made to have
printed additional thousands of copies of some
worthless reports. They are very promptly
voted down by the friends of retrenchment.
Yesterday another attempt was made to

HE TUNKHANNoCK ABDUCTION :-WT. Edt-
torPermt to record my appreciation of your brief
comment on the statement, by the Tunkhannock Demo
rGt of the alleged abduction by the Catholics there Of
the girl LANGDoS. and to add few ideas suggested by
that story.
Whenever any occurrence however local purely per
sonal may be tortured tale reflective of dscred
upon the Catholic Church it is very to find an editor
courageous enough remind his readers that there are
two sides to a story Having been bold enough to do
you will not fear allowing me through your
columns to observe, that, although know nothing of
the Outrage in question: except what CLEAN from the
Democrats report, have hesitation in pronouncing
the whole thing pure fabrication. The report
IDENTIFY onesided and exhibits such strainng after ef
ectso much effort come up to the requirements Of
his highly ercited villagers that the mpassloned editor
has doubtless mistaken fiction for fact and thereby made
the wrong appear the righteous But aside from the
suspicious statement of the Democrat and its obvious
suppression of essential facts the prudence and pety dis
played in his long useful and unpretending life spent in
this community renders it highly improbable that the
venerable priest of "ChocOnut' would approve much
less abe the abduction child from the jurisdiction of
her natural or legal guardian except for paramount mo-
tives of humanity. rr. .f .-
Will tho Democrat come up to the requirements of law
and honesty and give the srcted public the truth the
rhoe TRUTH and nothing but the truth" When the Dem
ocrat will have done this confident that it will be
made apparent in this in many kindred cases that
have obtained newspaper notorety within my recollec
ton that the cry of stop thet has been raised by the
guilty party a to direct attention and escape de-
lection Naturasts tell of fish that elects dark

glorious minority next winter. Mr. SMEAD said
he did not know where they would put Mr..
PICKLE if the resolution should carry, for every
nook and corner about the House was now
filled with some subordinate officer. A run
ming debate was continued for some time when
the resolution was voted down by large ma
jority.
The BILL introduced by Mr. KINNEY, annul-
ling the contract with r. J. HAIDEMAN for pub
fishing the Legislative Record at 81 per page,
has been up in the Senate, and after some de-
bate was lost by strict party vote. So the
Democratic party takes the responsibility of
paying off partizan press at that exorbtant
rate, when responsible man proposes to do
the same work at saving to the State of over
$l3 per day.
The State printing has been let to A. BoYD
HAMILTON, the old contractor, at 76 Lie per
cent below the highest price fixed by law
What the exact price is, at which it has been
let am not informed, but hear that it is very
low lHueeu. lHlS 10 SlIdllSc dHOihdiy hhcu
there is sharp competition for the public
printing and the lar decides who the printer
shall be, as in this case, the work is done in
credibly low, but when political faroriism de-
cides the question, as in the case of the Record
the most cxtravagant prices are regarded by
partizans as all right"
The greatest annoyance is the Philadelphia
Passenger Railway bills, they are very numer
Gus indeed, and are laid three or four deep
over the streets. There will be some sharp
practice, no doubt, in getting them through
The members ere as yet kept in ignorance OF
their location and provisions, and an effort to
get them printed and laid upon each members
desk made the city members sit very uneasy in
deed and one of them talked out the hour Of
adjournment and prevented vote. They must
look ont or there will be an avalanche of noes
when their bills come up; the country members
are bound not to vote in the dark on these
bills.
Several petitions have been presented from
Bradford and Wyoming counties, asking for a
law for the assessment and recovery Of DANA
ges along the line of the North Branch Canal
A bill in accordance with the prayer of the
petitioners is being prepared in The Senate, its
exact provisions have not yet transpired
