OUR neighbor, the Union, is still clam
oring for blood, as its last issue plainly
indicates, and ardently desires, the most
of all things, q continuance of the pres
ent bloody conflict of the American peo-
pie, The reverend gentleman also longs
for the reelection of Lincoln and the per.
petuation of his destructive and corrupt
administration. Whyl He is an office
holder of the administration and is not
yet satisfied. He is VIGOROUSLY pressing
himself forward rs candidate for further
political favors and Office This is hui
initiating matter of fact well understood
by many citizens of this county, Of both
political parties. In other words, this
reverend editor evidently deems his own
political aspirations and desire for Office
OF more Importance, to himself at least,
than the salvation of distressed and
bleeding country. We respectfully sug
gest for his consideration a biblical truth
which lips may have frequently uttered
but the heart knew nothing Of: "Bless-
ed are the peace-makers," &c.

GREAT FREMoNT MEETING.-The New
York Herald devotes n column and a
half to sketch of proceedings in DR..
Cbeever's church of the Puritans on
Monday evening. 1t was Fremont dem
oustraton OF n most enthusiastic charac.
Ter. The galleries were hung with pla-
cards bearing various inscriptions, such
as the following: "Despotism at Wash
ington is no joke for the people,
"Lincoln and Monarchy" :" Fremont
liberated $4,000 slaves in Missouri
Lincoln re-enslaved them" "Munroe
doctrine and the man that dares maintain
it," DR.. Henry A. Hart presided, and
introduced DIR Cheever to the meeting
Dr. Choe,er denounced Lincoln as a po-
litical trckster, whose continuance ip
power, for another term, would surely re-
suit in the establishment of monarchy
upon the rims of the once proud Ameri-
can Union, and he charged that this was
the object and aim Of the President. He
said the people would take Lincoln at
his word, when be said three years ago,
that if the nation was dissatisfied with
his policy, the time would come when
they might put better man in his place.

The Situation.

Is it not passing strange, with the
immense force now constituting the Ar
my of the Potomac, and the strength un-
der Butler, that the rebels are allowed, to
make so formidable raid as thai recently
executed in the immediate neighborhood
of Baltimore. Surely we are led to con-
clude there is weakness, imbeciliiy entire
ly inexcusable or sheer careessness unpar-
donable somewhere. Who shall bear the
censure! Has the administration become
so weak as to permit the enemies of the
government to approach to the very forti
fications erected for the defence Of the
national Capital comparatively unmolest-
ed? Or are its generals losing their
watchful care over its safety and becom-
ing negligent of the all important duties
to them intrustedl The people hold the
powers that be responsible, and she day
of reckoning draws nigh.

IMpRoyEMENr-TLe SUNRISE Of N

lMPRoyEMENT.-The. surprise of the
Red Man, on seeing the first flint lock
musket-which was brought by the Pale
Face from across the great waters, is re-
corded in the history of the American re-
public as being very great. In turn,
however, the Pale Face has seen cause for
wonder in the marvellous productions Of
Colt Dahlgren, Armstrong aud others.
Improvements in all branches of mechan-
les quite MS prominent are numerous
Among the most conspicuous are thoso
applied to Sewing Machines, during the
past three years. Much is being said
about the well known machines of former
years, great portion of which we admit
is truthfully stated. While we allow that
many points of excellence exist in such
machines as were offered to the public in
confidence rs to their being the best then
known,. we also wish to call the attention
of our readers to the fact that rapid pro-
gress has been made in producing ma
chimes for general family use; the insen-
tors and manufacturers having profted BY
the experience Of Others. The compiled.
ton of many of those machines hitherto
fayorably known, the unpleasant noise Of
some, lack of reliability, aud an iuele-
gance of form in others-bave all been
subjects of consideration. To bring out
a machine capable of doing all kinds Of
work that could possibly be required of it
in a family; one that would be reliable,
easily managed and not liable to get ont
of repair; and one that would be an or
nament to any lady's house; in short, to
produce a machine in which are combined
beauty and utility, has been the aim Of
the Florence Sewing Machine Company.
The esteem in which these machines are
held by the public, is fully attested by re-
ferring to the increased demand which
this company is having for their uurival-
ed machines. In addition to the lock or
shuttle stitch, so long acknowledged the
ne plus ultra Of sewing machine stitches
the Florence makes the knot; double
tock; (the great elasticity Of which has
never been questioned) and last but not
least the double knot stitch, which for du-
rability and strength is unapproached.-
The four different stitches are made on
one and tho same machine and without
complication of machinery all of
them present the same machine and with
out complication of machinery-and all
of them present the same appearance on
both sides of the cloth. The Florence is
the only machine capable of sewing from
left to right-the reversible feed being so
simple that it is easily regulated by
child ten years Of age-and is very van-
able for fastening the ends of seams. AS
sewing machine men are prone to repre-
sent their respective machines as the best
we give you our word for it--you sho'd,
before purchasing one Of any kind, send
to Messrs. VIM. II. Sharp d. Co., No. 100
Washington street, Chicago, for samples
Of sewing, descriptive circulars, ETC., or
call on J. & ]. w. BARNS, Agents, Grand
Haven, Mich, who will give any desired
explanation.
