By Machine. By hand.

The Franklin Family Sewing Machine
Has one advantage which is worthy of especial
attention. in addition to the peculiar character
of the stitch, and that is its adaptation to Ell
Their light or medium heavy work The Ma
chine which at one moment is used on THE
MOST DELICATE FABRIC, in few moments
after can be brought to bear with the same IA
cility on cottonades and towels of the coarsest
description. Its adaptation for Family Work
is thus rem arkable, and ives it superiority
over every o.her style of machine in the mar
ket.
In order that these Machines may be placed
in the hands of all classes, we have reduced
the price of our Franklin, Family Machine to
Forth Dollars and from the increase of our
business for the last year. The entire salts
faction our Machines are giving throughout
the United States and European Countries, we
are led to believe that our determination to
manufacture a Perfect Simple, Reliable and
Caeap Machine has been fully appreciated by
the public This policy will remain unchanged
and as heretofore no Machines will be allowed
70 leave the Office that we cannot fully warrant
in every respect; we shall keep on hand at all
times general assortment of Sewing Machine
materials.
Needles for all machines can be ordered by
Mail or Express. Price one dollar per dozen.
Persons in the country, by sending US their
address enclosing letter stamp, can have for
warded by return mail, one of our circulars
containing the different styles of Machines, list
of prices, and samples Of work.

SEWING MACHINES!!
THE ECONOMY OF USING THE
Franklin Family Sewing Machines!

THESE Machines make the celebrated Gro
i yer & Baker stitch, which has taken the
highest premium at the Illinois State Fair, in
September last, at the United States Fair, in
St. Louis, in 1860, and at the principal State
Fairs throughout the country
Competent Judges gave decision in favor
of this stitch, on account of its great strength
and adaptation to all kinds of family and man
ufacturing purposes.
The following table will show the difference
in favor of Sewing Machines over the old
method of stitching by hand. Iu the working
of these Machines there is not only great
saving of labor and time, besides adding great
" to the healthfulness of the employment, but
the stitch is much stronger, more elastic, and
less liable to rip or ravel than the stitch made
with shuttles and bobbinS.

z: B. VANCE,

A few weeks SINCE we expressed our determine
ton, to support Col z. B. Vance, for Governor, if
he would accept the nomination. He has accented.
and to-day, we place his name at the head of our
p,per. to be kept there until he is elected, which
we doubt not will be his fate, as soon as the polls
are open and the people vote. We do not think
that any reasonable objection can be urged against
such a contamination. He is "honest faithful and
capable" He is devoted to the cause of his coun.
try. He did not want, wait for, or ask for, an of:
fire. before he would grid on his sword and fight
for the Independence of the South-not he-he is
not one of that sort. He knew that the great boon
by hard fighting, and, no sooner did Lincoln issue
his proclamation for seventy five thousand men to
deprive the South of her rights and liberty, than,
shoudering his musket, he stepped into the ranks,
a pricote, (and a very good looking one at that
that is recommendation sometimes particularly in
the ranks) The old saying, "handsome is, that
handsome does is very true and in the case of pri-
cate Vance, has been for the hunareth thousandth
time verified. He performed the duties ola private
soldier so handsomely. that he was promoted-not
by appointments by the willing votes Of those
who knew him best who, when they had elected
him Coonel-pronounced the work handsomely
DONE
"We can die, boys, but we cannot surrenderi'
We want man for Governor, who will die before
he will consent to surrender single interest of the
State. We want a man who will inform himself
Of the actual condition of the deences of the State
who is able to judge when her defences adequate
to her means. We want man who will surrender
nothing-who, when demand is made by an enc
my for surrender will say" Come and take us p
Vance, we believe to be that man, and thus believ
ing-we intend to show our faith by our works.
