JUDGE PAINE.-Judge Paine, OF Plattevile
addressed the Wide Awakcs and citizens Of
this place last evening upon political issues
Judge z. though not member Of any politi-
cal parry, acts with the Republicans; because
he considers their principles much nearer
right than those Of any other patty. In his
remarks last evening he showed up the
Squatter Sovereignty falacy in It's true light
and so clearly and logically that none but
the willfully blind could fail to be convinced
The Inconsistency of the tuse of Mr.. Doug
las was clearly pointed out by Judge Paine
who was formerly an admirer of that gentle
man, and only deserted him " hen he became
convinced that he was politically dishonest

FAIEBANK, SCALEs.-It is a significant fact
which the public will appreciate. that whcn-
ever new scales are put upon the market. as
large numbers have been from time to time.
during -ne last thirty years, it seems TO be the
first and chief aim of the makers to show that
they are the same as Fairbanks. or like them,
sr are improvements upon them, or have taken
premiums over them, thus recognizing tie lat
Ter as he standard for excellence. aud showing
the strong hold they have upon the public con-
hdence. II Is a well-known fact that while I
most of these scales have, after more or less I
trial, past mainly out Of use, Fairbanks have /
gone steadily forward, increasing in public Ia
vor year after year. and are LOW much more
generally used than all other, not only in this
country. but wherever American commerce has F
been carried. This could not be 50 if they /
were not all that is claimed for them in res
pect to their durability. As we'll rs conycuieuc. .
