1. II makes the only seam formed by Sew
ing Machine, in which each stitch is indepen-

made by this machine. This is done by the ma
chine itself without the use of the hand needle.
A. The Grover 4 Baker stitch is the only ono
formed from two ordinary spools, and without
winding from the spool into n shuttle from three
to five times for the under thread.
8. seam thus formed is more elastic than
any other made by sewing machine, and is
consequently very valuable in all goods that are
to be washed and stretched under the iron.
6. The machine is adapted to all varieties of
fabrics, serving each equally well, and requiring
no adjustment for any kind of sewing, other
than the adaptation of needles and thread
Z. II Is more easily kept in order than any 9th
or machine, and need not be taken apart to BIO

8. The machine sews common spool cotton,
silk and linen thread with equal facility.
8. The machine is so simple that an intelli-

two months. 1t is called the FRANKLIN, and

family Sewing Machine, so simple in its con-
struction that very young person may under

ton than is contained in the printed circular
which accompanies it. 1t executes the work
evenly, does not drop stitches, and when the
thread shrinks in washing and draws up the
material the elasticity Of the stitch permits the
material to be drawn straight without breaking
the thread, and moreover, it secures its own
work. would suggest to any Of your readers

Messrs. BARNS: The patriots of La
mont and surroundings rejoice in the priv
ilege Of sending fraternal greeting to the
patriots of Grand Haven and its adjacen-
cies.
The great public heart here seems to
throb for the Union and the Constitution
in quick, vigorous pulsations, sending the
warm, patriotic, soul-inspiring blood thro'
the whole body polite. We have stir
ring time al Lamont. Our citizens, one
and all, with scarcely an exception, are
rallying TO the support of the Constitution
and the laws. Party preferences seem to
be swallowed up in doty to our country
in its present peril. Republicans
and Democrats here, as in neighboring
communities, meet in warmest friendship,
and shake hands with true fraternal feel
ing, and pledge themselves to each other
to stand by the star spangled banner, so
long as shred thereof is left to wave
over the land of the free and the home OF
the brave. t..s .t.
II would do the very soul Of your
Grand Haven patriots good to look into
the Congregational Church of an evening
and witness the assembly present to hear
the news. Old, gray-haired men, venera,
bic danes, robust, stout hearted, middle
aged men, with their wives, young men
and maidens, in whose veins courses the
blood of sixteen, eighteen, twenty, and
twenty-five summers, are there nightly TO
hear the very, latest dispatches from the
seat of the war, and they are listened to
with almost breathless attention and in
terest. A goodly number of our young
men have already enrolled their names as
the more immediate defenders of their
country's flag and honor, and are under
the stern discipline and drill preparatory
to the great contest that is to decide the
fate Of free institutions, free laws, free
speech and free action.
May the God Of Heaven speed the
right! av AGRfcoLA.

them of the parties who alone are authorized to

certain prosecution. Those who have already

{" Sentiment of the State. !"


Under the above caption We find the
following from the Editorial Columns of
the Detroit Daily advertiser, Of April
Esd.
"All agree that the government shall
put an end TO slave power, as the only
means of securing peace to the country
hereafter. n \ Y
1.-THE traitors have begun the war, to
extend and perpetuate slavery. While
that curse exists, they will make il an oc-
casion for the continuance of these ag-
gressions."
This comes like a thunderbolt upon us.
We had supposed that the administration
was gathering It's troops to vindicate the
honor of the national flag, protect the ma
tional Capital, and enforce the observance
of law. Can it be that we have been
mistaken, and that all this armipg and
moving Of troops is preparatory to a cru
SADIE against African slavery? Seventy
thousand Democrats in the State of Mich
igan stand ready to-day to redeem their
solemn pledge to sustain the Government,
and seventy thousand democrats today
are ready to take up arms against all who
attempt such an inhumah crusade. The
war is upon us, the Government attacked,
and we will rally as one man to sustain
the administration in the exercise of all
constitutional power But if this is to be
war against slavery, and not for the
maintenance of the Union and the Con-
stitution, we have no sympathy with the
Government and will not support it. Re
publicans must not expect TO cram their
doctrines down our threats, much more
the odious and inhuman doctrines of abo-
litionism. We are willing to forget par
ty and unite for the salvation of our
country with patriots, no matter where
politically classed. But let them declare
truce oh political differences, and meet
us as patriots and lovers of the Union as
our fathers gave it. Abolitionists and a
degraded priestcraft have brought this ca
lamity upon us and are to-day as much
the real enemies Of the Union rs South
orn traitors. They are the men who q
few short months ago were carrying six
teen star flags, aud outraging the patriot
ism of the country by denouncing the
Constitution as " A league with the dew
il and compact with hell" They DOW
take up the cry of Union because they
hope to make it subserve their hellish de-
signs of quitting an end to the slave
power" and "while that curse exists
they would make no peace. Let aboli'
tionists retire to obscurity to reflect upon
their awful sins, while honest men, Dem
ocrats and Republicans, unite as broth
ers, to save the Union for the Unions
sake. State Journal.

DoSIONi APTu q, looi.
Ny DEAR -
"These be perilous times" and times
that you nor ever had dreamed of see
ing. Could it have been told us in 1910
what would we have said? The excite
ment here is quite up TO fever heat. Yes
terday, on Sabbath morning, in staid,
sober, old puritanic Boston, on day when
usually birds are not allowed to sing, nor
boys to whistle-on that day when only
baked beans and Goldfish balls are the pre-
scribed diet--a meeting was held in State
street, headed by the only son of Daniel
Webster--a meeting of over five thou
sand persons, "All ready for the fray"
AT our church we had sermon of fif-
teen minutes, and the congregation then
resolved itself into a meeting 10 discuss
measures for providing for the families Of
any and all who should go to the war,
and funds were then and there raised on
the spot.
In the evening / attended another
church, and, after listening to the list of
wrongs, grievances and insults, inflicted
upon us by our Southern brothers and
traitors, an appeal was made to the in
famed passions Of strong able bodied men,
and feeble minded women.
The clergyman proposed to take his
bible in one hand mot the pulpit one
suppose and the sword of his country in
the other, aud march at the head of one
hundred of his congregation through Bal
timore, and if the way was stopped, if
the passage was impcded, then to cut
large and comfortably wide swath
through the crowd with rifled cannon.
There, will stop now. This is too Sc
rious a subject for any moro badinage.
But you know my frailty. My ruling
passion is not to swear, but TO look on
and enjoy the ridiculous.
I'll tell you what it is: when men get
so determined, after long series of inju.
ries and insults, as have been fouly put
upon us, as the New England men now
are, there is no such thing on the face of
the earth as stopping them. A whirl-
wind has been raised. Who shall lay il
quietly in the dust9 This question Of
slavery has got to be settled now, forever,
FOREVER; and it will be before this dread
full civil war is ended. But in what d.
rection viii! the blow come upon you and
meG for we have got TO feel it somehow
and at sometime, fear. One thing is
certain, and that is what | wanted TO
write you, that New England is aroused
and stands as one man on this momentous
question of supporting the Government.
Muscle, blood and treasure will be freely
poured out and you must expect to see,
when men feel so keenly and are so ex-
cited, such war as the world has reyer
yet seen. May God keep us all in his
protection, is my fervent prayer.
Yours Truly, ~
