vEvEHE UNION MOWER.

This is beyond all question the most desirable
Mower now in use, not one having failed last sea-
son among the great quantity sold. Price Sl2O
for the foot machine, and $3.50 for the A foot
machine.
There has been much competition between the
different inventors and manufacturers, in striving
to produce the most perfect machine 1t Is be-
lieved that each have gained some good points,
and that the God of Genius has somewhat equally
divided his favors. 1t appears to be the labor of
each successful manufacturer to convince the
farmers that his arrangement, his gearing, guard
and knives, or whatever his alleged Improvement
may consist of, makes his machine superior to all
others. 1t requires no argument to convince the
farmer that machine combining, as the Union
Mower does all of the important and valuable
features Of the various machines, is the machine
for practical use.
The following testimonials as to the efficiency
of this Mower are from gentlemen well known in
Maryland and Virginia.

Mr. Adams to Earl Russell.

The correspondence which our Minister
to England, Charles Francis Adams, has
conducted with Earl Russell and Lord
Clarendon is marked throughout with an
ability, earnestness and dignity worthy of
himself and his ancestry, but it is marred
by the excessive use of a courtly ciyility
that to Americans savors of servility. He
humbly begs that his lordship will "deign
to listen to him." or will condesend to
consider" &c, &c. He "begs permission
to observe" and "most respectfully ven
lures to reply" As a specimen let US
take this sentence, from one of his recent
letters, published in the files brought by
the Canada:
Notwithstanding the very great defer
ence with which it is my DESIRE as well as
my habit to bow to the judgment of his
lordship, if L find myself SO unfortunate
as to be constrained to express an humble
opinion in this case of conflicting author
ity, cannot in candor disguise my con-
viction that the correctly view is most likely
to be that of M. Corres de Sierra"
Now all this may be very diplomatic
but it is neither republican nor manly. 1t
may be "cOurtly phrase" but it will re.

The FRENCH I'm Mexico.

| The London Times expresses belief that
Napoleon will soon withdraw his troops
from Mexico, leaving Macmillan to fight
his own battles. Washington dispatches
give rumor that the State Department
has an understanding to that effect with
the French Government. Another state
ment is, that official dispatches from
abroad represent the French troops as pre-
pairing to retire from Maximilian's service.
1t is generally understood that this latter
is theview of President johnson. We have
little doubt there is some foundation for at
least portion of these statements. Ad-
voeating, as we do, the enforcement of the
Monroe doctrine in its broadest sense, we
do not regard the present as a proper time
to go to war in defence of republicanism
in Mexico, for the simple reason that we
believe the cause of free government there
is in hands capable, under existing circum-
stances, of securing its ultimate triumph.
The recently-published correspondence
between Secretary Seward and the French
Minister of Foreign Affairs, M. Drouyn de
Lhuys, on the Mexican question, is full of
interest, and shows that our government
is not indifferent to European intervention
in American affairs. The French Gov
ernment is admitted to have ''de-
''rived neither pleasure nor satisfac-
'tion" from the statement of Mr.. Sew
ard that the United States Government
"regards the attempt to establish perma-
'nently foreign and imperial government
" in Mexico as disallowable and impracti.
"cable" Mr.. Seward then added that
refusal to withdraw the French troops
from Mexico would result in the peace ex-
isting between the two nations being
+" brought into imminent jeopardy" 1t
seems that Napoleon acts upon the hypOth-
esis that Macmillan is his ally, and that,
consequently, he has an undisputed right |
to furnish him troops and loan him money. !
The United States might with equal |
propriety claim the right to supply |
Juarez with men and means upon the |
ground that he is our friend and ally |
Any one can see where this proposition
no less reasonable than that of the French |
Emperor-would lead. War would exist
between France and the United States
from the moment of the first hostile meet
ng of French and United States troops on
Mexican soil. If Napoleon is willing to
assume the responsibility of such colli-
lion, he will remain in Mexico; if he
'ealizes, as we believe he already does,
hat such a course would be disastrous to
French interests, he will seek the first ep-
consistent with his pride to re-
ire from a contest which has been un-
from the beginning.
