best, having the past season been awarded
the First Premium over all others In prac-
teal field trial 1t the Iowa State Fur also,
First Premiums at the Illinois and Wisconsin
etate Fairs, as we'll as all the more prominent
County Fairs throughout the whole North
west.
The reason why Is because We make the
manufacture Of Plows specially, and, With
expert workmen, by the aid OF machinery,
cut, swsge, forge, stamp, punch. &C., eFeEy
part Of our Plows to perfect model and pat
tern, so that al parts are in dapl1eats. ANY
farmer can, without the aid Of blacksmith,
replace worn-out share, landslide, mold
board, Or other part.
The grade of steel we are using Is the finest
saw-plate cast-steel, costing 20 per cent more
than the common cast-steel used by all other
manufacturers. This steel Is made expressly
to our order, and will take remarkably high
polish from the eSenness, hardness and tlue-
nesz OF Its grain and texture. By reason Of
this high polish, the soil passes with less
friction over the mold board, giving lighter
draft and less wear to the steel, greater du1a-
bility, &c.
The model Of our Plow Is unsurpassed. It
lifts the ground easily, investing 1t complies

King IT in most thorough manner, which all
scientific and practical men unite in saying is
the proper preparation tor yielding heavy

The idea which seems ~ impress the minds of
our young men at THE time, that of omigratng to
Brazil appears to It's the most prepostcrous of any
that could Lave entered their heads. We cannot
undcrstsnd why, in the first place, they should
leave their native homes, and in the next, why
tlIy should select Brazil as thcr future abode.
1t strikes lis that little reelection, their part,
would dannpen somewhat tho ardor at present ex-
hibited to quit the spot where they were born and
raised, where tho bones Of their ancestors
laid, where the tcndercst affections are cntwincd
around them, and where, perhaps, they may have
encountered ills, and make them reluctant to ''Hy
to those they know not of Do they for moment
think they are to live as in paradise, without
troubles and trials; and if they are assaulted by
them, do they supposa they to flee like
towards, and not face them as they would any
other foe? We hopc not. We desire that they
pause and consider what is due to their people
thath is where they are wanted and must be
here their services, rs good and law-abiding citi
zcns, are required and they must remain. They
arc now going through purgation, the result of
circumstances, but they will come from it clcanscd
and purified, credit to themselves and an honor
to the country. Who can expect the sharp edges
of feeling created by war, to be rounded or dulcd
in day? Certainly no one. But time has already
began to blunt them, and in its course their keen
ness will altogether vanish.
The next thing We wish to know is, why do they
desire to settle in Brazil? Is it because it is
slave country? Why, in ten years there will be
no slavery i'll South America, anywhere else on
this continent. The abolishing of it in the United
States settles it in the entire western hemisphere.
Besides, slavery there is not as it was with us, a
patriarchal institution; but system of tyranny
and oppression that would be so repulsve to them,
as to make them imagine themselves in land of
horrors. Their style of living-their. ceremonies
of religion--would please at first through their
novelty; but as days rolled on, and 1ongings for
home occupied tho heart, the mind would turn to
the simple observances they we're taught in child
hood, and they would feel that they had committed
an error-an irremedable error.
Then remain ut home where you are known and
appreciated; and although there may be poverty
now, there will soon be abundance. Dark clouds,
perhaps, are now lowering over you, but they will
soon dispense, and brighter day will show itself
in the prosperity of your State, and consequently,
your own success.

States where they are. We know it is claimed by
the advocates Of Congressional interference for in
discriminate negro suffrage nj the South that 9th
erWlsc thcrc would not be sufficient loyal popu-
iatloh 10 exercise the electoral privilege; but that
assumption is fatal to the very object they have in
view, since it would prematurcly disfranchiso
eight millions OF whites, for the sake OF giving
the suffrage to three millions of blacks, and main
tam the former, if that were possible in state of
subJcction to the latter.
Negro suffrage, however, appears to have been
resolutely taken up by the Radicals as the great
question upon which to go before the people.
They will have this brought forward now, let other
questions be perilousy neglected or not It does
not seem that their anxiety is to receive back their
Southern fellow-countrymen into tho relations of
citizenship, but to keep them out OF those relations
entirely, unless tho negro shall first be made
voter, without qualification and ut their hands.
But the fall elections i'll the Northern States are
fortunately coming on. The Radicals, possibly,
feel that they safely turn their backs upon the
lesson these elections may teach, but not so the
moro thoughtful and conservative, who have for
time consented to be classcd with them. Already
is plain that there is disinclinaton in the party
in the great States of New York, Pennsylvania ard
Ohio to adopt the radical theory before going into
the fall canvass. They fear for tho result Of such
step. The New York Republicans will not incor-
poratc tho negro suffrage plank III their platform,
for they the people will leave them in the
minority. COL FoRNEY warns the party in Penn
sylvania-through his paper, tho PreSs-against
so suicidal measure. And the recent letter Of
Gen. Cox, of Ohio, the regular Republican candi-
date for Governor, for which the Radicals have
just refused to support him, is additional evidence
that they sec which way the current Of public
opinion decidedly sets.
