admitted 10 the bar. In 1856 he yot-
ed for james Buchanan, though in To-

Ccrtificato:

We, the undersigned, citizens Of Ismoile
County, VT, hereby certify that We have used
in our families, more or less, FOR about five
months last past, Washing Machine, patented
by Mr.. Samuel Wiswall, Of Hydcpare. We
consider il q valuable machine, both IN saving
labor and avoiding the usual wear and tear Of
clothing. II will cleanse all articles % ordinary
use by the simple motion Of the Machine, N
which is no pounding or hard friction 10 niure
the articles to be cleaned. The Machine will
do such work with much less labor and much
less injury 10 the clothes than the ordinary way
Of rubbing on wash-board. Very dirty arti-
cles, like shirt collars and Wristbands, NAV re-
quire some rubbing, but the Machine is 50 ar
ranged that Il can be done III ii as conveniently
rs with common tub and board For snds-
ing end rinsing, the machine is very valuable.
1t will not iniure the finest muslin fabric, while
il will cleanse bed quilts, heavy blankets, aud
even carpets more thoroughly than can be- done
by hand. We consider II great improvement
on every kind Of Washing Machine We have cv-
er known, aud lis operation gives such unyer-
sal satisfaction wherever It has been tried we
think tmust soon come into very general use.

Mr. EDITOR - was struck with the force of
your remark, that North Carolina wants no South
Carolina Governor, and it called to memory an ar
tcle which appeared in the Daily Progress, dated
March 9Th. 1860 giving the proceedings of Rail-
road meeting held the 9th day of March, 1860. 1t
says, 1.-THE object of the meeting was to present
the claims of the Charlotte and South Carolina ex-
tension or as ID is called the Atlantic Tennessee
and Ohio Railroad, and to procure subscriptions to
build said road from Charlotte to Taylorsville.-
*I* He (Mr. Johnston) spoke Of the
advantages and necessity Of this road The people
were informed that though these are roads leading
to the East get they run counter to trade; that
there are markets the East and that there arc
better markets at home, at Charlotte and Colum-
bia" had the honor to listen to the remarks Of
the gentleman, and heard him use these or similar
expressions, and many others who heard him will
cast their votes against him on election day. He
made to say the least of it. sectional speech. .pn
that occasion, not because he cares any thing for
the West but because he then loved as he does
now, to drain her of her resources; because this
road would convey the products Of the West direct
ly to Columbia and Charleston. II he had been
true North Caronian, he would have endeavored
to build up her seaport towns. But he was willing
to iniure her roads, already completed, in order to
build up Charlotte, and through her, ship the pro-
ducts Of tho West to Columbia and Chareston.--
The people of the East will remember this, and the
people Of the West will appreciate the reason why
he urged the claims of this Road: tdo not say any
thing against the Road, but only speak about the
South Carolina candidate for Governor Of North
Carolina. | hope our beef, -four, bacon, sugar and

ANOTHER FALSE CHARGE.-The Charlotte Demo-
cyat SAYS it has treason to believe" that combi-
nation has been formed between Col. Vance and
oursef to the effect that his friends would support
Mr.. Holden for Senator next FALL in the place of
the Hon. George Davis, the present Senator" This
charge is utterly untrue. We have never conversed
with or written to COL Vance any of his friends
on the subject of the Senatorshp. We have never
even thought of the Senatorship for oursef or any
one else, since the campaign for Governor CON-
menced If the Democrat has treason to believe"
the charge referred to, it knows more thanewe do
1t is thus that we necessarily followed up
with Misrepresentation and false charges. As
soon as we expose one, our enemies start another.
First, it was charged that we wanted to run for
Governor; next that we induced Col. Vance to run,
30 as to use his popularity for our own selfish pur-
poses; and now it is charged that we have actually
baroained with Col. Vance and his friends for the
senatorshp in place Of Mr.. Davis. Those who pre-
fer these charges judges US by themselves. They
are in the habit themselves of plotting and bargain
ing for Offices, and they imagine that others are as
corrupt as they are. We have never bargained for
any office, nor concealed an opinion to obtain one
and VIC never will.

Kittrelrs-an officer in vance's legion-that the
legion is not broken up, and that Col. Vance does
not yet despair Of completing it, notwithstanding
the obstructions thrown in his way. There are
three companies at present at Kittrelrs. Thirty
companies were accepted by Col. Vance, and if he
had been properly and fairly sustained and aided
BY the authorities his legion would have been ready
by this tine for the field! Col. Vance'writes his
name on.the plains near Richmond IN blood while
small minded officials are endeavoring to break up
his legion and others are impeaching his integrity
