Sewing Machines.

Weeare often surprised 81 10 fad sofew Sew
ing Machines in use in our section OF the
country. In The large cities. every family
has its Sewing Machine, and they would
not be without one for ten times its cost
1t is certainly the most useful and econom-
ical invention OF the age, and we advise
our readers 10 hesitate no longer, but see to
getting one of these labor and life saving
Machines. rhers are a great many kinds
oil Sewing Machines, and We have taken
rome pains to examine into their respective
merits, and we have come TO The conclusion
that The Wheeler & Wilson, Highest Pre-
MUM Sewing Machine, is decidedly the
best.
These uneqnaIIed Machines are adapted
TO every variety of sewing for family wear,
from the Iish;est muslins to the heaviest
cloths. They work equally well upon silk,
linen, woollen, and cotton goods, with silk
cotton, or linen thread. They will seam,
quilt, gather, hem, fell, cord, braid bind, and
perform every kind Of sewing, making a
beautiful aud perfect stitch, alike on both

The Wheeler & Wilson Sewing Ma.
chimes are so simple that a child can work
them with ease. Printed instructions are
sent with every Machine. SO that any one
can operate them without any trouble or
difficulty. Every Machine is warranted.
aud the money returned if not entirely sat-
isfaclory.
Over FDy thousand of The celebrated
Wheeler & Wilson Sewing Machines are
sold every year, and yet the demand is so
great that they can hardly be supplied as
fast as ordered. Machines are carefully
packed and sent in good order to any por-
ton OF the country.
We hope our readers will write at once
10 the Wheeler & Wilson Agency, No. 7oi
Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, and gel one
OF their Almanacs for 1865, and specimens
o. work done by the Machine, all Of which
they will send by mail. free OF charge, TO
any address. We should be glad 10 see an
Agency for The Wheeler & Wilson Sewing
Machine established in our locality. We
know them 10 be the best, most simple add
cheapest Machine in use.

We have The pleasure OF presenting to
tfle voiers Of this District a candidate Eor
Congress Of ability and character, and one
who viii, II elected, reflect credit upon his
constituents. His personal popularity and
extensive scquaintance throughout the Die
lrict we trust may enable him to overcome
his opponents, who are at present,and have
beer for some time past quarIeline among
themselves as to which of them shall rep

most dangerous enemy at least then so con-
side red, were defeated, however, two years
age. and IL looks better now than il did then,
at this sisese OF the contest. The Wilmot
party still continue TO work with bitter strife
against the Tracy conservatives, in Bradford
county, with very little prospects Of their
aver uniting upon one ommon nominee
Tracy's friends claim for him a re -nomina-
tipn, bat thss same men who opposed him
10 his former campaign will not. accede 10
their demands. The more mild and con-
servaiive men of Bradford comfy met ia

1rscg the Corlerees of that county without
the slightest opposition. In carefully look
ing override District we are at a loss TO know
where Mr.. Tracy will be able to get AM
more Conferees. The counties of CoIum-
bia, Monsoar, and Sullivan, We understand,
are going 10 snppor, JuDcE MERcua for the
nomination. That being The case, there is
NOT q shade of a chance for Mr.. Tracy's
nomination. II is reported to Us that quite
q change has taken place in Bradford coun>
" (; that she viii not begin TO poll The op

This is certainly encouraging, and gives
our party good cause TO hope soon TO see

His Iabors will continue, as they ever have
been, to maintain Che Union and the Goa

Our candidate for Congress is so vel
known TO the people Of this District, as TO
make it unnecessary for Us TO introduce
him BY any 'extended notice. His large ex
perience in public affairs pointed him on,
as the very man for the times:-as Super
intendent of public works. as Paymasier
In the army in the war with Mexico, and
as a member of the State Legislature, he
has proved himself to be an honest as well
as capable public servant.
The corrupt schemes of ambitious or We
nal men have always when known by him,
been exposed and denounced in bold aud
fearless terms-schemes to rob the public
Treasury, such as The act TO repeal the ton
age tax, and all %siuIilar legislation have
been so fiercely attacked and so fully ven-
tiia,ed by him a. TO make him an object Of
hale 10 all that elass of men who are held
together BY the cohesive power of public
p~luuder.
He is a farmer and large tax payer, hay-
ing a deep interest in ommon with his
fellow-cilizens in reducing the public ex-
pendiiures to the lowest possible point
For years he has urged The great disparity
between The salaries of officers and the
pay awarded 10 me chanics and other labor
er=. as a reason for reduction Of the former
In short he is a Democrat who sympsthises
with the people in their wants and wishes,
who above ali desires a restoration OF peace
and the integrity OF the Union. ard who
would lend every energy TO the accomp-
lishmeui Of these desirable ends, in The
shortest possible time.
We bespeak for him, The votes of all who
are willing TO have peace upon The basis
of the Constitution and The Union. We do
not expect that those who have set up the
negro as their God will give him their
suPport-Esery other EIector we hope will.
