THE METROPOLITAN
Washing Machine.

HVHIS wonderful Machine il remarkable fer the
Il following properties which il is warranted to
possess. 1t does not wear. the clothes. and never
breaks button It eleauses thoroughly the must
pie, very strong and durable. and can hardly Get
out Of repair. 1t is Ii ght and portable. and when
not In use takes room than the common
wash tubs. A comm IN hand can with ease and
perfect safety to the ct ,thing sh faster and bet
ter than four washerw 'men can by band.
This machine has b zen greatly improved since
1853, and is now perfe IT. It now operates much
more easily, and weig. IS only between 60 and 20
pounds, all put up. an when taken down-which
can be done in one-fou rsh Of minutes light
that child IL years Of age can move it about.
Why all other 4Naehines Faa
is because they rub only the surfaces Of the cloth,
taking it for granted that the clothes soiled
ly upon the surface and that the dirt .lust be rub
Sed of as one would clean a board.
Washisg By HIND IS Wrong,
because the rubbing Of the surface Of the eleth is
Wholly unnecessary, and Is great waste Of strength

through and through and that it cannot he cleans
ed without being washed through and through.
The Reason srhytlse iNetropolitan Succeeds
is because it forces the water powerfully through
the fabric between the pt stiles, and the action Of
the water displaced by the FOUNDER carries the
clothes from the outside t., the centre of the tub
presenting continuous ffSn surface OF clothes tO
the action Of the FOUNDER. thus washing every
portion of the clothes thorough ly and equally.
Tie Time and Labor Saved
is more than oue-half. Washings which require
all day by hand. are by this Machine generally
done in less than one-half ,tay. The clean
sing process is lone in one urth the time. The
cleansing, rinsing and wringing and hanging out
taken together require less tina One-half the time
and no person can possibly rim Sc as well by hand
as with this Machine Very many persons SAY
that the Machine is worth its cost for rinsiRg
alone.
The Durability of this Machine.
is tery great. l don't why it sh oud not last
for ten or twenty years, with only repairs of pom
der and rope, which would he very u.ifing. The
whole cost of repairs upon all the Sc veral hund
red machines have sold in the last two years
taken together, don I amount to two .iollars, and
many Of them have been in constant u.s.. in larg,

DEBATE IN THE SENATE-Mr Davis, of Mississip-
pi, addressed the Senate Monday last in support
of resolutions heretofore introduced by him on the
subject of slavery. These are the same resolutions
adopted some weeks since by Senatorial caucus
Mr. Davis justified the action of the seeding delega-
lions at Charleston. Mr. Clingman followed Mr.
Davis in reply. Mr.. Douglas gave notice that he
would reply to Mr.. Davis or. Thursday.
These Senatorial caucus resolutions are destined,
we fear to be prolific source of discord to the DEM
ocratic party. Whether designed by Mr.. Davis or
not to 'precipitate the cotton States into revolu-
tion," their discussion and adoption can be of no
service to the countryside opinion of the reeating,
disorganizing, secession Washington Constitution
to the contrary notwithstanding.

called to preside. Mr.. Hunt in the course of his
address taking the chair, designated the slave
ry question in the Territories which had split the
Democratic party, miserable abstraction"
The Convention did not appear to be favorable to
platforms, the members regarding the Constitution
insufficient That would be a very easy and conve-
nient mode of disposing of the slavery question.

COOP NEwS-A gentleman from Surry county,
whose business is entirely of travel, remarked
last week that Gov Ellis would largely increase his
vote in Surry and .Ashe, stating that his victory
would be more decided than that in the last cam
paign Another writing to us from Haywood, up
on business says: Pool will do very little up
here; We have GnttGd ratOrem wings and dd rdLo-
rem democrats, the former will vote with us, the
latter do not believe in this Convention system to
attain an object which according to Mr.. Pool ought
to be incorporated in Constitution at the earliest
possible day. they know that this plan will not in
corporate it for years if at ALL therefore they will
vote with us.
Yet another from Cranes Creek Moore county,
says: 1.-The wings are 1ocking TO us. Our men

We have recently heard from Forsyth, Chat
ham, Johnston, Pitt Craven, Lenoir, Greene, and
other Counties, and we can truly say, that the &C
counts are all encouraging Mr.. Polls PROPOSE
ton to taz erery thing meets with no favor in the
Democratic ranks, while to many of his own party
it is not acceptable Mr.. Pool no doubt thought
that he had discovered and was using the Democrat
c ad ralorcm, but the gentlemen is mistaken. Mr..
Pool, in his attempts to play the Democrat reminds
us of the ass in the lions skin.
We learn also that the recent unfortunate seces-
sion of portion Of Southern delegates at Charles
ton, has had injurious effect on the Democratic
party in this State. The truth is, sense of dam
ger has drawn the party closer together. Its col
umns are now compacted, and it is more vigilant
and determined than at any former period Glo-
rious old party 1t is equal to every crisis. 1t
carries the ark of the Constitution on its shoulders,
and though it may stumble it will not fall. 1t
looks to Baltimore for the to lead us against
the foe and it will not look in vain. The 18th of
June, 1850, will be memorable in our annals. 1t
will witness the reunion and reconstruction of the
only organization which is national in its spirit and
purposes; and from that period up to the election
the Democratic flag win fly in every State, to be
crowned in November with the most important vic

clear of this secret organization. The South has
