Cleveland morning leader. [volume] (Cleveland [Ohio]) 1854-1865, 1860-07-03


The Republicans of Michigan have invited
Gov. Seward to visit that State and address
the people on the political issues Of the day.
The patriot Statesman has accepted the in
vitation in a short letter, which brcathes
that personal magnaminity and devotion to
the cause and its candidates which character
lie his life. His wOrds of cheer and exhor-
taton win be read with pleasure and profit
by Republicans in and out of Michigan. We
trust Gov. Seward viii take the Western Re-
serve route 70 Or from Michigan, aud at least
tAvor the Republicans Of Cleveland with
political address, He would be warmly greet
ed BY troops of friends"
Gov. SrwARD's LITTER.
AUnURN, June %, 1860.
My DEAR SrR:-Your kind letter awakens
sentiments which l will not undertake to ex-
press. Ny heart overfows with gratitude
and sgection to my friends and the whole
Republican people of Michigan. To the
full extent of my ability, their wishes
shah always be to me as effective as a COM
mand. By-and-by, after some respite at
home-from which have been absent ex-
ceptin few stolen visits, eighteen months
Twill meet you as you propose. But in the
mean time do not let your Committee wait
for me. Let them proceed to organize and
concentrate the energies of the Republicans
under the leadership ofthe worthy and dis
tnguished candidates approved by the Con-
vention at Chicago, assured that l should feel
it a calamity, and almost a reproaoh to my
self throughout my remaining life, ifany one
Of the band of loyal patriots, with whom l
have acted so long, should fall back from his
advanced position in the coming engagement,
the first one am sure Of a long series Of ma
tiOnal triumphs Of our righteous cause.
Very faithfully yours,
WILLIAM H. SEWARD.

The mind finds it difficult to realise the
idea thai e country like England was once
cteaming morass, c,yered with the rank trop-
ical vegetation of the tree fern groves, its aw-
full silence only broken by the hum Of the
shardy beetle, tie rush Of the hldeous flying
lizards through lofty woods ofterns and reeds,
or the tramp ofthe giant inguanodOns over the
plashv wolds. Ina gination, left to itself,
could scarcely have INDUCED in 50 wild Il
Digit, as to picture an era when palm trees
waved in Kent and Hampshire, and the
plains OF Cnmnor were the coral reefs OF some
primeval lagoon; when the tiger and hyena
lurked in the thickets of kirkdalo; when the
tsumpetng of the huge northern elephant
was heard on the moors Of Yorkshire, and
the downs of Brighton; when the bison fed
on the plains, aud the sullen river horse and
rhinoceros browsed by the Thame, and the
Avon. Yet such things were. The ham,
.ner Of the geologist, like the enchanter's
wand, has c0nured up more than one pan
Drama OF Old England, far more wlerd and
..,onderful than ever has tabled. The his
.orian only seeks 10 trace back the annals OF
OR island to the days when it was first peo-
pied by painted savages, living in wig-wams
like the red Indian or the beaver, and hunting
18th the rude bow and intheaded arrow;
he geologist recalls the times when our Is
land was the home Of the dragon, the turtle

KIRBY'S
AMERICAN HARVESTER.

rIHE SUPERIORITY OF kIRBY'S AMER
i ICAN HARVESTER, over all others, will
become more obvious by looking at It's several
superior points in detail, and then considering
that all these separate eXcelcncleS are combined
in one MACHINE, in the most simple and eifec-
tive manner In some of these excellencles 1t is
entirely unequaed, and in none OF them Is IL sur
passed While other MACHINES may equal 1t
in some of its desirable qualities we can safely
say there is not another MACHINE in the world
which COMBINES ALL THE ENCELLEN-
CIES that are found combined in k1RB1 >
AMERICAN HARVESTER.
We would call the attention OF Farmers TO the
following facts:
|. That-Ths is the most perfect Combined
Mower and Reaper i'll use; better than any single
mower as a mower, and better than any single
reaper IL reaper.
= Thnt-It is the strongest and the lightest; be-
ing made entirely OF Iron, except pole, seat ana
platform. The finger bar is of wrought angle
iron, OF great strength and lightneSs
That--It has Revolving Track Clearer,
which is the only track clearer that will thorough
" separate the cut from the uncut grass, and with
out leaving the cut grass i'll lunches.
That-lT REQUIRES oSE-THlRD LESS DRAFT
THAN ANY OTHER MACHINE.
That--No PRESSURE is MADE UPON THE HoR-
SEES NECKS, AND NO SIDE DRAFT
i. That-Its ability to work on rough ground
is not equalled 10y any machine yet proauced-
The fnger-bar working up and down, indepen
dent of the driving wheel, enables the machine to
90 through deep burrows and bitches, among stones
and boys, over knobs and gopher hills, where no
other machine could follow it. 1t will work from
. to Is inches high.
/. That-It can be used in moving either with
or without the reel
s. That-Iu both moving and rcaping, the po-
sitons Of the driver and raker arc the most conve-
nent and easy, enabling them to do their labor
with but little eycrtion.
That-While the machine is in motion the
driver can, by means ola lever, throw the cutters
out and into gear, and by another lever no can
raise aud lower the fngcr-bar to pass distractions,
or move from field to field.
TO- That-It is easily managed, maryclously
simple well built compact, not liable to get out OF
order, made of the best materials, Bahbet, metal
boxes, and IS furnished with double trees, neck
yoke and extras complete.
We would request all those who are in want of
aREAPER and MOWER, TO send for Circular
descriptive of the MACHINE, &c, before making
other arran gcmcnts. The MACHINES are in all
eases warranted to give satisfaction, or no SALE

OFFICIAL COSTUME.
MONDAY MORNING, MAY IS, 1857

The japanese seldom wear anything on
their heads except when riding. The head
is shaved on the crown, and the side and
pack hair brought forward III roll about
the thickness OF 2 small sausage to TIE top
OF the forehead; here it is firmly Summed
down with o species Of bandolne, IN the man
ufacture Of which the japanese are very pro
fcient Wigs are common IN the shops, ous
are only worn as a part or masquerade
dress Not a particleot hair Is ever allowed
to be worn on their faces. The winter cos
tune consists in robes cut like dressing
gowns, padded throughout with silkwaddlng.
These unwieldy articles OF attire are also
used upon state occasions and are stan
ding item in the list of imperial presents to
a foreign mission.
But the most singular portion OF their ap-
narel are the trousers which they wear at their
audiences with the Tycoon a; they seem to be
cut upon principle precisely the opposite to
that which regulates our courtdress. We
consider that when we have brought our
neither garments down to the knee, we have
not only satisfied decency, but reached the
highest pitch of refinement and elegance
The great object Of the japanese is to create
an entire misconcepton in the mind OF the
spectator as To the situation Of that lmpor-
tant Joint: he wishes it to be supposed that
he shufles into the royal presence Oh his
knees but finding that process attended with
much practical inconvenience, ne compro-
misses the matter by having his trousers made
ebout eighteen inches longer than his legs;
ny these means his feet are made to represent
his knees, and he is enabled to walk upon
chem comfortably with his sham legs drag
ging after him. HphanfS Narotice.
