Anne rican MangfactSses,. -ths Americsn Watch Co
of Waithan, Mass.


Every one knows that the mechanism
of the Best manufactures of this country
is ppequalled in any other part of the
w0gld. The genius of American mechan-
les produced the cotton. gin, the mechan-
ical reaper and mower, the sewing ma
chine, and last but not least, the Wonder
ful machinery of the American Watch
Company Of Waltham. This Company
was established in 1850, and has grown
in proportions which entitle it to a first
rank among the manufacturing enterprises
of the New World 1t employs between
90e and 900 artizans of superior skill
and character, and large and thriving
town has grown up in its vicinity. The
factory covers over three acres of ground,
and as an illustration Of its extent, we
may r..eution that ii is supplied with
more than go miles of iron pipes and pro-
duces an aggregate of nearly 10000
watches per amman. The founders cf
this Company believed that the same del
icate mechanical processes which had pro
duced such remarkably perfect results in
larger machines, might be applied with
even greater advantage to the production
of the watch, The foreign time-pieces
are made principally by hand, and except
when of high cost, an imperfect article,
often out of repair, and of little value is
the result Abroad, these mysterious and
infnitesimal organs which, when aggre-
gated, produce the watch, are the fruit of
slow and toilsome manual processes. In
the results, there must Of course be lack
of that perfect uniformity which is indis.
pensable for correct time-keeping, The
constituent parts of the American watch,
on the other hand, are fashioned by the
most delicate and accurate machinery
Wheels, pinious, springs, screws, abso-
lutely uniform in weight, circumference,
dimensions, and in every possible partic-
ular, are turned out in myriads by uuer-
ring fugers of steel, aud their proper
combination and adjustment by skillful
workmen have given the Company its
high reputation. Its watches not only 90
with the trade and 90 in the pockets Of
100000 people, but they 90 right and go

The Skies Clearingi

There is nothing at once so discoura-
ging and damaging to q political organi-
zation, as uncertainty and ipaetiqn. The
most discouragipg time in our history as
a anation, perhaps, was February, March,
and part of April, 1861. At that time
it seemed uncertain what would be the
final course of the governmental was
uncertainty-all was doubt But no
sooner had our patriotic President given
evidence of his future policy, in calling
out rs, ,00n men for the National defense,
than the hopes of the people at once
revived. The public credit was measur-
ably restored, and a strong and abiding
confidence every where esecured So, in ref,
erence to our political situation at the pres
ent time. For long weary months it has
been known that radical difference ex-
listed between the President and the par.
ty which elected him. a fond hope,
however, was entertained that differ
ences night pass away, that harmony
might again prevail. These ford hopes
we are sorry to say have all passed away
and 1T is now apparent that, deep laid
scheme has been laid to hand the control
of the Government over to party to be
made up Of few excommunicated Re-
publicans reinforced by the combined col
umns of Copperheads and Rebels. The
movements necessary to secure success
at Philadelphia, seem to have revealed
the whole secret. At first it was given
out that said Convention would be ex-
clusively Republican, although called by
a half dozen of communicated mem.
bers of that party, aud two or three who
never acknowledged or claimed afinities
with it. But this assumption
has to give way to the development of
passing eyents, All over the Southern
States calls are being issued, signed by
the most yirulent rebels, urging the peo-
pie to be fully represented in the Phila.
delphia Convention. The Democratic
members of Congress, too, have issued
their Bull, telling the faithful to be on
hands. Both Tamany and Mozart halls
have also called upon their respective fol.
lowers to be on the ground. In view of all
this, the few Republican journals and pol
iticians who felt favorable to the move
ment now begin to beat retreat Mr..
Raymond, for example, said in a Rspub-
iican caucus, that, when he gave it his
sanction he understood that it would be
confined to republicans, that be was there
fore deceived, and would in the future,
act accordingly. At home we find
similar falling. Even the Pittsburgh
Commercial, which SO long labored to
have faith in these outside monuments,
and ID some of their moving spirits now
frankly admits that it is disappointed, and
even hints that Cowan besides acting
traitor, has been acting the hypocrite. In,
deed, all our exchanges, both papers aRd
magazines, are outspoken against the foul
treachery, and are as united too in the
belief that our danger is over, that we
are again united-that all differences
have vanished with the disclosure Of this
scheme Of tFeachery.
Some, indeed, will be slow to belieye
that the opposition are SO willing to
abandon their time-honored @ name Of
American citizen. [volume] (Butler, Butler County, Pa.) 1863-1872, 1866-07-18

nag Our neipbb bors of tho Gozotte q

pas- Our neighbors of the Gazette are
writing series of articles to prove that
the next U. 5. Senator should come from
the West. 1t says it has been compelled
to pursue this course by reason of Col.
Forneys haven taking the stump as an
aspiraut. for Senatorial honors. On gen
eral principles we have nothing to say
against adhering to our own section for a
candidate, provided all else is equal
But we are noS of those who believe that
all Western Pennsylvania is embraced in
Allegheny county. Nor do we see even,
how Centre county can be excluded, :,
We have no idea therefore of the pro.
priety of excluding such citizens as Gov.
Curtin from the list of distinguished gen
tlemen, whose names will naturally come
before the West for their suffrages Iu.
deed the West-especialiy the North :
west-has always been for Curtin. And
even pow, we notice that wherever
the matter has been brought forward in
County Convention, he is the favored one,
as in the instances of Beaver, Lawrence
and Crawford counties, which have all
spoken in his favor.
While the Gazette has committed itself
to Western candidate, it declines, as
yet to name him. The Chronicle, on the
other hand, is squarely out for Curtin, de-
claring him to be the choice of the people
generally, and the soldiers in particular.
1t is not to be expected that, where there
is so many distinguished names put for
ward, every body will be for any one gen.
tleman, however distinguished. Not
~ithstanding the effort that may be made
in the interest of others however, and in
view of his great services and personal
popularity, both with civilians and SOL
dierf, we haye little doubt that (no mat
ter which section of the State ne may he
assigned to) Governor Curtin will be as
signed the post of honor. At any rate,
we are glad to see the Gazette give the
subject Of political equity its attention.
And when it has done with the Sen.
atoiial question, we hope it will not con-
4der ap examination Of the equities ex-
isting in the case of Allegheny Us. Butler
counties, so far as its congressional rela-
tions are concerned. Its views of the
equity of this case would be read with
much interest by our people,
American citizen. [volume] (Butler, Butler County, Pa.) 1863-1872, 1866-07-18
Southern Loyalty.

While all the disloyal elements of the
South are going to be represented in the
August Convention, the genuine loyalists
of that section have issued call to their
people, requesting to have delegates cho-
sen who are to meet in Philadelphia in
September, to counsel as to their safety
and duty. This ConYenton is sustained
by such staunch Unionists as John Nj.
Bolts and Gov. Pierpont, OF Va, Gen.
Hamilton of Texas. and of such patriots
as Gen. Stokes and Horace Maynard of
Tennessee. These men know that, should
the Democratic party be restored to pow
er, they would be banished from their
homes and be compelled to take refuge
in the North. Loyalty, per Sc, hence
forth would be unknown to their section.
To avert this, therefore, they propose to
organize and do battle for their princi-
piles and respective States, and they look
with answering faith to the Republican
party and its majority in Congress to save
them from the hand Of the Destroyer
1t is fer the loyal people of the North to
say, whether they shall be sustained and
protected. This can only be done by
upholding the party which crushed their
enemies in the field, and who stand
pledged to reward loyalty and punish
treason and traitors. Let then. with
one voice, rally for Geary and the Union;
for Republican Congress-for Repub-
licans for Office everywhere. Let us do
this and a bright future is before US, not
only will "treason be made odious and
traitors punished and impoverished" but
loyalty will yet be made respectable in
the Southern country where it is to-day,
treated as badge of dishonor.
