NEW MACHINE PRESS.

We have just received and have
now set up and running, in complete
order, GoRDoN HALF-MEDIUM FRANK
LIN JoBBER, the largest sized treaddle
press manufactured, and the most per-
feet machine of its class ever invented.
with this addition to our stock, our ia
ciities for doing Job Printing of every
description, are rendered equal, if not
superior to those Of any establishment
in the State, outside Of Detroit, and
we propose to do work of every style,
in the line of Letter Press Printing,
as well as it can be done anywhere.
We deem reasonable demonstra-
ton of pride, not only excusable but
indispensibly requisite at this time, for
reasons herein noted:
In July, 1859, tho Courier was es-
tablished, running one hand press,
with moderate stock Of Job, in adj
dition to newspaper material. In
September, 1861, we sold our job ma
terial and press to Mr.. JosLIN, of the
Enterprise, upon "give and take" of
fer-both being convinced that there
was not enough job printing in the
city then for two establishment and
ran only the newspaper for the year
following.
In September, 1862, we replenished
our Job establishment to which we
have since constantly been making adj
ditions. In August, 1868, we enlarg-
cd the Courier, and associated with us
Mr.. LYON, bought new dress for pa
per, and new job material, and now
we ore running two machine and three
hand presses, occupy room 22xS0
and are doing an amount Of work
which in 1861, would have gorged the
entire printing capacity of the Valley
The Courier establishment has been
set-up-we mean the material--six
times since its first appearance, in six
different buildings, and, fearful that
the old adage, ga rolling stone gath
ers no moss" might effect its financial
prosperity, has finally settled, on a five
years lease, in Grant Block, "to roll
no MORE" but endeavor, by attention
to business, industry and energy to
gather a reasonable provision Of our
verdant currency, for which the term
''moss" was doubtless intended by the
illustrious originator Of the aforemen-
toned adage.
Of the progress of the printing in
terest in the Valley, we speak only for
ourselves other establishments, we are
happy to know have also made hand
some progress, and with them we leave
the task of chronicling events the de-
tails of which they are of course par
ticularly familiar.

An IMPAssABLE GULT.-The New York News gives
the War Democracy no comfort 1t declares them out
of the party now and forever Let no War Democrat
chersh the illusion that he Is Democrat in anything
but the name. He is simply Abclitonist, aud with
an Abotonist the Peace Democrat has no fellowship,
as witness the News:
The War Democracy Of its own accord has foresworn
our company. Ii has passed within the unhaowed
circle of AbotOnism, and there assuredy the Peace
Democracy will not follow. IL is now impossible for
n ace men, without the sacrifice Of their consis
tency and principle to the companionship thus
cancelled. HencsforWard the Peace man and the War
Democrat are twain. There is no tie between them,
there Is no identity of purpose between them there is
no similarity OF doctrina, and there must be con-
formity of action. The Peace man cannot stand
shoulder to shoulder with an Aboonistn political bat-
lie. Distrust, antpathy and Agonisn are now the
potcal condition that exists between them.
