SEWING MACHINES 4!
PRICE $40 ANDsUpWARDs.
EVERY MACHINE FULLY WARRANTED

TT is now decided by the best Machinists and
Il the public generally, that these Machines en-
brace the latest and most important improve.
ments eveI attached to Sewing Machines, name
ly: The new improved and never. faifing iooper
aud reverse pheel The Franklin and Keystone
State are the only Machines that have these i'm
portant improvements, which now gives them
the preference over all others. Every one shod
examine and thoroughly test them, before maxi
ing their selection, as they are rapidly taking
the place of all others.
In these machines we do away with all the
complicated screws, wires, shuttles, crooked and
circular needles, of other machines, which rem
der them ut once greatly superior to any hereto
fore offered the public, for the many different
kinds of family and manufacturing purposes.
These Machines make the douhle-lock, fast
stitch-a stitch that will not rip or ravel, though
every fourth one be cut. This stitch is stronger
and more elastic than that made by hand. 1t is
decided by competent judges to be more than
twice as strong as the stitch made with shuttles
and bobbns.
The room under the arm renders them desi--
able for large work, and various kinds of quilt
ing purposes,
These Machines make the only stitch with
which you can embroider.
On these Machines you can use any kind of
spool silk, cotton or linen thread. These Mach
ines are almost noiseless in operation.
Be sure to see them before purchasing, rs they
are giving satisfaction heretofore unparalleled.
They sew from two spools without rewinding.-
They will gather, hem, tuck, fell and quilt, on
heavy or light fabrics.
A liberal discount to the Clergy, Agents and
charitable objects. Send for a circular and sam
pie of work.
We are also agents for Blake & Johnson's ad-

FAMILY SEWING MACHINE

Now in use irrespective of Price.
We ask attention to the following points of
excellence in WEST Wilson's Machine
LIST. Its simplicity, and the directness with
which the power is communicated to the needles.
This is great desideratum andin this we claim
decided superiority over all other machines.
I'd. The needle and needle bar are both
straght and the motion direct the needle bar
is attached TO n small wheel driven by a larger
one, instead of TO the long arm of n lever as in
most machines, with power upon the short one.
The latter arrangement necessarily makes the
motion of the needle both circular and weak,
while the former gives strength and drectness.
Sd. The great power and directness of the
motion enables us to sew all fabrics, from gauze
to four thicknesses of leather with almost equal
case, and the Machine can be made TO run,
without changing needle or thread, through all
the different thcknesses, from a sheet of paper
to heavy leather, and back and forth without
dropping a stitch or breaking n thread We
know of no other family machine Of equal ca
pacity.
4th.. 1t uses silk, cotton or linen thread from
| the original spools; unlike most machines, it
will permit the seam to be turned at right an
giles at its highest speed; it has much more room
than any other family machine for passing goods
through, thus allowing to pass freely the heavi-
est garments, bed-quilts, &C., and it will turn up
readily upon hinges attached to the stand tho
this is seldom necessary, us both tensions are
regulated from above.
9Th. The Machine will do greater variety
of work than can be done by any other stitch.
1t will HEM, QUILT, GATHER, EMBROID-
| Err and CORD, and will do neatly and rapid
ly every variety of sewing that can be done by
a similar stitch upon the highest priced machine.
No machine will make and put upon garments
the finishing cord as neatly as ours.
Send for circular contaningfull particulars,
prices, testimonials, illustrations of stitch, &c.
Machines warranted and full directions given,
for using, without charge.
Orders for machines and circulars will receive
prompt attention, by addressing

HAS gained its widespread popularity, and
IL its nnumerablc sales throughout the world
from the following facts, which over so, 900 fam
lilies in the United States alone, who use them,
are ready to endorse:
|. 1t makes the only seam formed by Sew
ing Machine, in which each stitch is indepen-
IDENTIFY locked, and without dependence upon the
other stitches for strength.
q 1t makes the only seam that will admit of
the thread being cut mt every fourth stitch with
out injury to the seam in wear.
3. Tits unnecessary to fnsten the ends of seams
made by this machine. This is doneby the ma
chine itself, without the use of the hand needle.
4. The Grover & Baker stitch is the only one
formed from two ordinary spools, and without
winding from the spool into n shuttle from three
to five times, for the under thread.
5. A 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.
g. 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. 1t is more easily kept in order than any 9TH
or machine, and need not be taken apart to be
oiled.
s. The machine sews common spool cotton,
silk and linen thread with equal facility.
0. The machine is so simple that an inteli-
gent child of ten years can readily learn to ope-
rate aud keep it in order.
10. By reason of its simplicity of construction
and ease of management it is best adapted to
all the wants of the family.

UlIIERE are periods in the worlds history
4 marked by extraordinary and violent cri-
sses, sudden rs the breaking forth of a volcano,
or the bursting of a storm on the ocean. These
crises sweep away in n moment the landmarks of
generations. They call out fresh talent, and
give to the old new direction. 1t is then that
new ideas are born, new theories Developed
Such periods demand fresh opponents, and new
men for expounders.
This Continent has lately been convulsed by
an upheaving so sudden and terrible that the
relations of men and all classes to each other are
violently disturbed, and look about for the ele-
ments with which to sway the storm and direct
the whirlwind just at present VIC do not know
what all this is to bring forth, but we do know
that great results must flow from such extraordi-
nary connections.
AT a juncture so solemn and so important, there
is especial need that the intellectual force of the
country should be active and efficient IL is a
time for great minds to speak their thots boldly,
and to take position the advance guard. To
this end there is IA special want unsupplied. 1t
is that of an Independent Magazine, which shall
be open to the first intellects of the land, and
which shall treat the issues presented, and to be
presented to the country, in a tone no way tenn
pered by partizanship, or influenced by fear, IA
vOr, or the hope of reward; which shall seize
and grapple with the romentous subjects that
the present disturbed state of affairs heave to the
surface, and which can not be laid aside or neg
!ected

that early in December and monthly thereafter,
