premium for Sewing Machines was awarded to the

This we consider just award. We can testify
both from observation and experience, having used
in our family for the past three months to the
simplicity of mechanism, the ease rapidly and al
most noiselessness of its working, and the beauty
and durability ofits seam Ituses straight needle,
and will stitch the finest linen or coarsest fabric
with the greatest facility and without change of
needle. Its construction is very simple. and hence
it is notlable to get out of repair in fact by any
kind of careful using it can be lifetime with
out costing a cent for repairs 1t makes double
ock-stitch and leaves less of ridge on the wrong
side than any other machine in use The elasticity
of this stitch and the possibility of unraveing it
will be appreciated. 1t also uses the thread from
the common spool without reminding 1t has a
hemmer attached, which turns the seam on the
right side, making the hem as in hand sewing.
Taken altogether it is an admirable machine, and
we are pleased to recommend it as something that
has been much needed, cheap and good seeing
machine. The price of this Machines is $50, and
$500 expressage, making $4,000 Every family
should have it in 1.-THE house." Geo. R. Smith is

20 Scorbutic diseases are the pa
rent stock from which arises a large
proportion of the fatal maladies that af-
f1ict mankind. They are as it were a
species of potato rot in the human con-
stitution, which undermines and cor
rupts all the sources of its vitality and
hastens its decay. They are the germ
from which springs, Consumption,
Rheumatism, Heart Disease, Liver
Complaints, and Eruptive Diseases
which will be recognized as among
those most fatal and destructive to the
races of men. So dreadful are its con-
sequences to human life, that it is hard
ly possible to over-estimate the impor-
lance of an actual, reliable remedy,
that can sweep out this Scorfulous con-
tamination. We know then that we
shall proclaim welcome news to our
readers, Of one from such quarter as
will leave little doubt of its efficacy
and still more welcome, when we tell
them that it surely does accomplish the
end desired. We mean Ayers SARsA-
PAB1LLA, and it is certainly worthy the
attention of those who are afflicted with
Scorfula or Scorfulous complaints

A few more Questions.
Vandalia. Sept. 29th, 1st

Vandalia, Sept. goth, 1860.
EDITOR REPUBLICAN:-Dea Sir
I see the National Democrat propounds
certain questions to the Republican
candidate for the State Senate and pro-
poses to keep them there until answered.
Now, sir, I propose in turn to ask the
Democratic candidate for the same Of
fee few questions as there are good
many voters in this vicinity who are
DESTROYS of seeing the answers.
1st. Did you few years ago, when
an important measure was before the
Legislature of this State, offer a large
bride to a member of the Senate from
this county for his vote and did he not
spurn you and your bride with con-
tempt.
I'd. Have you not said repeatedly
that you did purchase one vote on that
occasion, and will You have the good
ness to give us the name of the mem
Der whose vote you did purchase.
Sd. Did you a few years ago make
personal application to join the Knop
Nothings. Saying that you did not
care what it cost, that those were al
ways your principles.
Now, sir, we would like to know
your opinion whether man that would
offer bride, would not also receive
one himself if placed in like circum-
stances, the questions here asked, and
especially the two first are of vastly
more Importance to the voters of Cass
County than the Wooley questions
asked in the Democrat, inasmuch as
the very existence of a Republican
Government depend upon keeping the
several departments of the Govern
ment free from bribery and corruption.
Yours, JUSTICE.

| Literary notices from the Press throughout the

| THE Sunny SOUTH" This book is composed of
a series of letters, written in interesting style
of narrative, embodying the most romantic fea-
lures of social life on different kinds of plantations
We can bear testimony, from our own personal
observation of similar in the South, to their
truthfulness as here depicted. They are protrayed
in vivid interesting style, and we would like to
see the book in the hands of thousands of deceived
people, who have no personal knowledge either Of
Southerners or Southern life, except what they
have gained from partizan journals, or those who
intentionally have written to deceive "-Daily Re-

The SUNNY SOUTH" We have rarely peeped
within the covers of a more appetizing volume
Altho' not intended as an answer to the foul I'M
truths in the Uncle Tom trash of the last years
it nevertheless does numerically hurl back to
their source all lies of such nature, and we are
glad to believe that the book will be read in thous
ands of northern homes. The south also should
take to it benignantly for independent of its truth

TIE JOINT DIsCUssIoN.-The joint
sapols and Jos. b. Clarke Esq of this village took
place at the Wigwam on Monday evening last, ac-
cording to announcement. OF the debate we have
not much to say, not having taken any notes, and
in fact being present only part of the time. Mr..
Clarke, having the affirmative, opened the debate f
debate it can be calledNby making specific and
direct charges against the honesty of Stephen A.
Douglas, in the position assumed by him in refer
ence to the bred Scott decision, and referred Mr..
Backman to the authorities to sustain the charges
Mr.. Blackmah, instead of answering these charges,
as an honest politician would have done, made a
rambling speech of an hour, in favor of popular
sovereignty and Stephen A. Douglas, in which he
told his hearers that he was in favor of the people
of territory managing their sown affairs, in their
own way in short, of giving them the same pow
ers possessed by State, and that this was the
ground occupied by Douglas and the Democratic
party" If this be so, Mr.. Blackmans penetration
has done him great credit, as he is certainly the
only person that has discovered it. An hour being
thus spent, Mr.. b. inquired how much time still
remained, and being told quarter of an hour, re-
marked THAT he had run out !" (about as sem
sbe remark he made) 'that SO far as this subject
was concerned he had no more to say, but as he
probably would not have another opportunity of
speaking to a Dowagiac audience, during the pres
emit contest, would spend the remaining Is minutes
In indicating his character; which, he assured his
hearers mad been grossly slandered, by the Faith
er Oh the few Republicans of this village, Jesse G..
Deeson' VINO was busiiy circulating the report that
ne (biackman) was bloat and drunkard" This
announcement was received with applause; but
whether 1T was intended to compliment Mr.. Beeson
or Mr.. Blackman, we cannot saw.
But of one thing Mr.. Blackman can rest assured
if such report had been circulated against him n
certainly had not been made public in this vicinity
and we will venture to assert that the first that
known in regard to it, was from Mr.. Blackman' $
own lips.
The meeting was closed by Mr.. Clarke. If the
Democrats are satisfied with this discussion, we
think the Republicans have no reason to complain
