"a. The Grover a Baker stitch is the only one
formed from two ordinary spools, and without
winding from the spoolinto a shuttle from three

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.
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,

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
a decided superiority over all other machines
I'd. Tho needle and needle bar are both
straight and the motion direct the needle bar
is attached to n small wheel driven by 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 directness.
3D.. The great power and direetRess of tho
motion enables us to sew all fabrics from gauze
to four thcknesses of leather, with almost equal
ease, and the Machine can be, made to run,
without changing needle or thread, through ali
the different thicknesses, from n sheet Of paper
to heavy leather, and back and forth without
dropping stitch or breaking thread. We
know of no other family machine of equal ca
pacity. f"
4th. 1t uses silk, cotton or lincn thrcadfrom
the original spoos; unlike most machines it
will permit the seam to be turned at right an
giles at its highest speed; ID 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 twill turn up
readily upon hinges attached to the stand, tho
this is seldom necessary, as both tensions are
regulated from above.
9Th. The Machine will do a greater variety
Of work than can be done by any other stitch.
1t will HEM, QUILT, GATHER, EMBR0ID-
ERand 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 rs ours.
Send for a circular containing full 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

Farewell our husbands. sons and friends,
For you our prayers shall rise;

Low at thy feet We bend;
In fort and field, in camp and drill.
Be thou the warrior friend.

To see You leave US here:
But duty calls You hence, away.

Seize then your armour. grid it on,
To battles conflict 90.
And soon the victors song You I sing,
For God will strength bestow
Go now. oar patriot soldiers. 50,

government While far more fearful res
possibility has fallen upon President Lincoln
than upon any of his predecessors, it must be
admitted that he has met it with promptitude
& fearlessness. Cicero in one Of his orations
against Catilinc, speaking Of the credit due
himself for having sup pressed the conspiracy
OF that arch traitor, said If the glory Of
him who founded Rome was great, how much
greater should be that of him who had saved it
from overthrow after it had grown to be the
mistress Of the world 2 So it may said Of
the glory Of that statesman or chieftain who
shall snatch this Republic from the vortex of
revolution, now that it has expanded from
ocean to ocean. has become the admira-
ton Of the world and has rendered the foun-
tains Of the lives Of thirty millions Of people
fountains Of happiness.
The vigorous measures adopted for the
safety Of Washington and the Government
itself may seem to open to critiSi.m, ia some
Of their details. to those who have yet to learn
that not only has war. like peace, its laws,
but that il has also its privileges and its
duties Whatever Of severity, OF even Of II
regularity, may have arisen; will findits jus
tiication in the pressure Of the terribleneccs-
sity under which the administration has been
called to act. When a man feels the poIgn-
ard Of the destroyer at his bosom he is not
likely to consult the law books Is to the mode
or measures of self-defcnce What. is true Of
individuals is in this respect equally true Of
Governments The man who thinks he has
become disoya because Of what the Admin
stration la, done, will probably discover,
aftcra close self examination: that he was dis
loyal before But tor what has been done,
Washington might ere this have been a
smouldering heap of ruins. :
