Being called upon by Messrs. Cone q Bro. for a
testimonial touching the Howe Sewing Machine, and
having bought and used one for the space Of three
months and noticed the simplicity Of its cOnsruC-

the neatness uniformity and dispatch with which it
performs its work and the fact that it has not in all

Notwithstanding it has been operated por-
ton of the time by girl only twelve years old, the
latter advantage had not expected to find in any
machine. Ihad supposed that all gave more or less
trouble to keep them in order.
Touching the ability Of The machine to perform
all kinds of work, would say that with one Of the

The 500 machine purchased from you gives per-
feet satisfaction. The great objection heretofore
with many people to Sewing Machines, has been
that a machine doing fine work, could not do
heavy work and vice versa; that objection is
entirely overcome by the Howe Machine, and
for that reason I think it is better adapted
to the wants Of the people than any other tami!
ly machine. have formerly owned one Of the SIN
ger. and have seen and examined the other leading
styles and think your machine less complicated and
more easily managed than any other.
TOpersons wishing a Machine executing3all varies

total valuation amounts to about four hundred W'l-

ward, over that of 1859. This amount, how

il not ere Of them uho hestates TO take long va
cation IN Summer, when other men are attending
10 u cir business If there he one thing mors than
pnoher which ia calculated 10 disgust the people
with tie Constitution and make them desire ia re-
vision and amendment it is the persistent tr7ckery,
no, TO coy tho downright kDavery, Of these judges
md Justices in t,ipR to extract from the treasury
more LAY than tho Constitution allows them.
Should the proposed amendment become inc"rpo'
rated into the Constitution, three Judges OF the
Couit Of Appeals and twenty two Justices OF the
Supreme Court, making twenty five in all, will be
emitted 10 lie bonus Of $4,000; AID the people will
be taxed to the amount Of $50 600 for this purpose.
We Say urquafedly we had rather see this whole
sum burr ed 10 ashes before the Capitol than that
ore cent Of it should reach the pockets Of these
officers.
Tie proposition to confer original as well as
bIIellsie jurisdiction upon the County Courts Is nos
OILY uucalled for, but it is susceptible Of great
abuse. Indeed, the County Courts may be made in
lis Wey to swallow up all others. In any event,
with the iDcresse OF labor and responsibility imposed
Uron these cOuIts thu judges of the whole sky
counties N the State will not only claim, but they
will be justly entitled to receive considerable In
crease Of their compensation. Altogether the
scheme is one of the most oDerous and expensive
that could possibly be devised.
But this il not all. The subject has political
bearing which il would be well for the Republican
party TO heed. Whether the mass of the voters
after coming out to an election in the Winter and
another in The Spring, will enter with enthusiasm
uron the Presidential canvass and come to the polls
third time in the FAIL il, to say the least probe
naticaI Some cunning Isaac Of the Democratic
pariy-peIhaps John Van Buren, or the sage Of
Binghamton-m have hit upon the fhIrd Monday
in May for holding the judicial electlon-the very
NE when the farmers who compose the great ma
io,ity of The Republican party are more busi'y
e,aoged than at any other IN the whole year 10
planting corn and potatoes, and attending to their
tam work generally. Should the amendments be
I'D, pied aid The election held at the time named,
it wouId not be at oil surprising if the choice OF
tie Few indges should be left, in great meTsure,
10 tie Democratic psrtssnsand their UTICA allies IN
the large cities. In that event it Will require no
sootbsayer TO predict the result. The consequence
Of Democratic victory in thia State, at this time,
could not be otherwise than disastrous.
We trust the Legislature Will put It's foot upon
these amendments; or if not that the people will
dispose of them efIec,ualIy at the polls, and thus
relieve themselves of all further trouble and ex-
pense in regard to them.
