simplicity Of mechanism, Durability and

Among the more valuable Of its pecu-
liar features is the variety and excellence
of It's various stitches. First is the
Stock" simple, strong and firm; next the
knot" which takes firm hold through
the fabric, and which it is next to impos-
sible to rip out; then the double-lock,"
which makes assurance doubly sure"
aud holds the seam together as if il grew
there; lastly we have the "douJle knot"
the ne plus ultra of stitches for strong and
heavy work. Unlike many other ma
chimes, the seams made by the "FLoR-
ENcE" are alike on both sides, while ev-
cry stitch is perfect in itself-combining
elasticity, strength and beauty.
In brief, it is the most rapid sewer ev-
err invented, making five stitches to each
revolution; it will do a more varied range
of work than any other machine; it has
the reversible feed motion, the patent
hemmers and the selfsewers attached to
each machine, it does not oil the dress Of
the operator; the needle is more easily
adjusted than in any other machine, and
in more ways than we have space to emu
merate it surpasses almost every other

best advice we can give those who are

Machine is to call at l24 Lake Street, see

A Novelty in Sewing Machines.

Prominent among the useful inventions
o! the day, and taking rank with the
Printing Press, Steam Engine, and Mag

invention of the age, the Seeming Ma

their manufacture has eliminated in the
production of piece of mechanism that
appears to be as near perfection as it is
possible for human ingenuity to go--the

We have carefully examined this inven-
ton, and having somewhat extended
knowledge Of this department of ma
chinery, think ourself competent to point
out several distinguishing points of excel
lence, many of which are not possessed
by other machines, and all of which COM
bine to render it one of the most perfect
inventions extant. Coming later into
the market, the manufacturers have prof

The two Glasses of Extremists.

The fact that the rebellion is the Joint
work Of the abolitionists and the secession
lists has been often proclaimed, sometimes
by abolitionists, sometimes by secession
lists and sometimes by the enemies of
both. The annual message of Gov. Bran
lette furnishes an instance Of the latter
kind. "The vicious ambition of the
southern men," says the Governor, sand
the bigoted fanaticism Of the North, in
giving and accepting sectional quarrel
about local institution, have forced up
on us tho most groundless, cruel, wicked,
inexcusable warfare that ever afflicted any
people of the earth" But the same truth
has just been proclaimed by one Of the
parties themselves. The other day, at
Philadelphia, on the anniversary of the
third decade of the American Anti-Slave-
ry Society,"" at which nearly all the shin
ing lights of abolitionism of these thirty
years of the slavery agitation were as
sembled, VIM. Lloyd Garrison, President
of the society, made the opening speech,
In the course of his speech he said, and
he said exultingly, that upon this ques-
ton of slavery "the fre-eaters of the
South and the abolitionists of the North
had had one bond of union;" that the
latter undertook to kindle the northern
heart, forgetting that they would also fire
the southern heart, but little tho't what
tremendous firing they would give the
northern heart. The only difference was
that the abolition fire was borrowed from
Heaven, and that of the fire eaters from
some other uncomfortable place."
But this difference is not material 10
the issue. Here, as contemporary says,
we have the fact boastingly presented by
the head and front of the American An.
ti-Slavery Society that the secessionists o.
the South and the abolition fanatics o.
the North are the parties who may right
ly claim all the honors, such as they are
of involving the two sections in this fear
ful exhausting and destructive civil war
The abolitionsts of the one section pro
duced the sesessionists in another; the
two factions thus brought out, although
in antagonism to each other, commenced
and continued to play into each Others
hands until they split up, on the line o.
slavery, several of our most extensive
church organizations; and then after de.
molishing the old national wing party,
the secessionists plunged into this crazy
rebellion, and the aboitionists, with this
invitation, advanced their standard to the
national capital.
The results are before us in the costs
and consequences of this disastrous war.
The abolitionists are rejoicing over theil
work. They see nothing before them
but the extirpation of southern slavery
and care to see nothing else. The seces
sonists, with all the waste and ruin which
this war has brought upon them, accept
Ing it rs a war OF determination, are fight
ing with the stubbornness and blindness
of despair. We can only watch and pray
and labor for change of measures and
of men.-LouiSviHe Journal.

ExEMPTIoNs.-Among other important
amendments to the enrolment bill is one
exempting clergymen and non-combatants
from the operation of the draft. This
seems eminently unjust, because the cler-
gymen" have been most eager and earn
est in the cry Of "Lot slip the dogs Of
war;" The clergymen have clamored
loudly and yehemcntly for blood, and now
should they in justice DO excused from
mingling in the scenes Of ruin, blood and
misery which they have been so instru-
mental in bringing upon our once peaceful
country. There are, however, many ex-
ccptions among the clergy to this charge,
which, for the sake of christianity and hu-
mainly, we are pleased to note.

County Seat Question.

The county seat question in our coun-
ty is emphatically restless one. At
the October session of the Board of Su-
pervisors resolution was passed locating
the county seat at or near EaStnadnUille
At the session just closed resolution
passed the Board to memorabilia the Leg
islature to set off the eastern tier of towns,
now attached to our county, to Kent, and
attach the northern tier of towns, now be-
longing to Allegan, to us. This done,
the county seat will not appropriately
be claimed by our Holland citizens at Hol-
land. In the mean time the question of
the location at Eastmanvllc is pending
and will be submitted to the people, at the
township elections, in April next. Gen
tlemen, prepare your ballots!
