Gale,. Copper STRIP Feed C,,,.,

At our county Fair last week, Mr.. Geo.
Z. Hutchinson of this city exhibited 8
full complement Of stock from his ex-
tensive warehouse at No. SO Merwin st.
We had heard the Copper Strip Feed Cut
ter highly commended and took this oc-
casion to see what there was of it.
This Feed Cutter as represented by the
above cut shows o Machine with three
Knives fastened to the lower cylinder,
(easily removed and ground,) and is
geared to an upper cylinder armed with
three flanges faced with soft copper for
the knives to cut against, (easiiy reno
ved.) By means of emitting against Flan-
ges, instead Of Roller, it is made per
fectly SelfFeeding and large volume
of feed is allowed to pass the Knives
without clogging; and the Machine will
cut shorter, faster, and easier, than the
Hide Roller with six knives, or the Self
Sharpener with six flanges, both OF
which, by the multitude Of knives and
fanges, are difficult to keep in proper
order and adjustment.
The great value of these Cutters. ID
that they will generally run year affsI

can be easily duplicated and replaced by

the farmer himself, without removing
the Machine from his barn. Most other
Cutters after a little use let through
much feed uncut. In this Cutter the
knife and copper are kept together by
two simple set-screws, and can be made
to cut every straw, even after years of
use, and without injury to the copper.
Hr. Hutchinson has exhibited these
Cutters in competition with many 9TH
ers, at the late Michigan, Kentucky and
Ohio State Fairs, and in each contest
hasreceiVed the highest award, which is
honor enough for one season, and as this
is the time of the year to be looking af-
ter such things, especially as the hay
and feed crop will be short, we advise an
examination of Gales Copper Strip
Feed Cutter, which will cut hay, straw
or corn stalks, in the most desirable
manner and scarcely ever get out Of
order. Mr.. Hutchinson is in possession
of the highest testimonials from promi-
nent men among the thousands who
have tried these Cutters. For terms and
particulars address Geo. Z. Hutchinson,

The Path 20 Peace.

The World's "path to peace" does not
seem to invite many Democratic travel.
ers. The Louisville, Kentucky, Courier
in noticing the plan proposed by the
World, says:
Is it not strange, that on the eve of a
victory, chiefly due to the opposition OF
Democracy to negro suffrage, that a
Democratic editor should propose to con-
cede suffrage to the negroesi Is it not
incomprehensible, while "the tide whose
ebb has in one short year stranded the
Radical party i'll so many States Is still
running out" that Democratic journal
ist should desire us to lower our colors J
The Horld may rest assured that it will
not be done. On the part and in behalf
of the Democracy of Kentucky, aye, and
of the Union, we tell the New York
WorM that no such disgraceful, debas-
ing, cowardly, suicidal thing shall be
done. Our party is contending for
white supremacy, and it has no cences-
slons or compromises to make on that
subject. Democrats are fighting against
the abominable heresiCs of negro suff-
rage, negro equality and negro suprem-
acy, and God forbid that we should re-
lax our efforts until tho black flag of
Radicalism trails in the dust ut our feet !
If Democrats will but be true to them-
selves and the country, the time is not
far of when we shall have the peace
and tranquility 50 much needed. To at
tain it, no compromise, no concessions,
are required. Compromise and conces-
sion will but turn from our hands the
golden fruit ready to drop into them.
We have but to remain true to the Con-
stitution, and the tide whose ebb has
stranded Radicalism in so many States,
and which is each day increasing its
swell and volume, will bear it down for
ever. A settlement of the controversy
can and will be made in the triumph of
Democratic principles "a settlement
which will be concurred in by far more
than three -fourths of the people. That
settlement, resting as it will do, on the
basis of white supremacy and the recOg-
nition Of the constitutional relations of
all the States to the Federal govern
ment, will be durable, aud it is the only
one that could prove SO. AS for what
the World says about reconciling the
races with each other, we have only to
reply that where negro suffrage exists
no political reconciliation is requisite.
This WAS intended for n white mans
government, and will be maintained as
such in spite Of the unconstitutional acts
Of reconstruction usurpatisn that mar
and disgrace the statute books Of Con-
gress. In the Worlds own language,
"If any ything was ever emphaticaliy CON
demned by the people on the eve of o
Presidential canvass, negro suffrage has
been so condemned" and the hopes Of
Democrats "rest upon as solid an assur-
ance as tho contingencies Of party poll
tics admit Of" In conclusion, we have
but to express the hope that our able
contemporary willreconsider its very un-
Democratic and decidedly heretical pro-
position, and make the restoration Of the
supremacy of the Constitution in all de-
partments of the government, and over
every portion Of the Union, its sine qua
non.

SOUTHERN ELECTIONs-.NORTH.

The Radical press of the North express much
dissatisfaction at the result of the elections in Ala
bama, Louisiana and Virginia. They see dearly
that those States were all carried for conventions
but the means by which they were carried are not
to their taste The little tricks practised by Off
cals have recoiled upon themselves, the fact being
patent that high-handed fraud has accomplished
all that has yet been done. Instead of gaining
popularity with their party, these gentlemen find
themselves much below par in the estimation OF
the people; for, with all its faults, the American
nation loves fair play. Nothing can so injure a
party in this country, as manifest cheating at the
ballot box.
Another source of disappointment to Northern
Radicals is the discovery that the whites either
took no part in the election or voted against con-
ventions. They had been told that the popular
sentiment of the South was in. favor of the Con-
gressonal plan of reconstruction, which statement
conveyed to them the idea that the aohtes favored
it Instead of this, they find the ordering Of con-
ventions to be almost exclusively the work OF the
negroes, over the opposition Of the whites, and they
don't ike It, The whole programmed reconstruc-
ton, as hitherto developed, has assumed the form
of negro supremacy. This unsuspected result has
set Northern Radicals to thinking and it will in
evitably lead many of them to the conclusion that,
if they wish to keep themselves free from this yoke,
they must begin to oppose it at once.

SECESSION TO BE TRIED.

The New York Times (Radical) appears to be
conscience stricken on contemplating the approach
ing trial of x-President Davis. 1t comes out in
long article, regretting that the government has
not been able to devise some means of preventing
it. The trial of Mr. DAVIS, in the opinion of this
Radical organ, will be the trial of the rebellion,
and the very act of giving it trial, implies that
that 'horrible crime may not be crime after ALL
In all cases that come before courts of justice the
law presumes the prisoner to be innocent, until he
is convicted. Mr.. DAVIS and all other rebels must,
therefore. be presumed innocent until proved gull
ty before court of justice. That they waged wal
against the United States is not denied But
that this war was wrong, is the charge that must
be decided by the court which tries MIR. DAVIS.
The Times, in common with all its party and many
others in the North, have decided this question in
their own minds, and they are unwilling to have it
disputed, much less discussed before the law. To
deny or doubt the guilt of rebes is itself crime,
with them.
On the other hand, the South has ever challen-
ged this trial Her people have always been viii
ling to have their action in seeding brought be-
fore national court and decided by the constitu-
ton They believe they had the right to secede
that right was discussed for years before they a.
vailed themselves of it, and it had never been de-
MED by constitutional authority. Yetin the face

THE WAR OF RACES.

The returns from Virginia show clearly that the
so-called election in that State was contest be-
tween the native whites and the blacks, headed by
few unprincipled renegades, hailing from vari
GUS quarters of the GLOBE who used the negroes to
their own purposes. In Louisiana, Georgia ano
Alabama, the whites had so little to do with the
elections that it can scarcely be called contest
but in those States the negro vote was delivered in
favor of Radical conventions and Radical candi
dates with the precision and regularity Of voleys
The negroes, it seems, have determined not te
agree with their former masters, and have given
themselves up to new masters, who drive them to
the polls like sheep to the .shambles. This being
the case, as proved in all the Southern elections
we endorse the following sentiment from the hal
eigh Sentinel. 1.-THE white man, in view of such
indications of purpose to convert the ten exclu-
ded States into Jlac States, who lends his aid and
voice to ultra Radicalism, is an enemy to his coun-
try and traitor to his race and color.
