To BIZ NoTRD.-Parties who have invested in
Government bonds, as well as all persons who
are holding either national bank notes OF
greenbacks, would do well to keep an eye on
the doctrines advanced by the Democratic
party. In Ohio Vallandigham and PendletOn
are openly advocating what amounts to simple
reputation. In this State the Democrats are
endeavoring to put man on the Supreme
bench who has already decided that green
backs are not lawtid money. Business men,
and all who value their own interests above
the triumph of desperate and abandoned dema-
gogues, should make a note of these facts.

SENATOR THAYER ON THE PRESIDENT

SENATOR THAYER ON THE president.
The following is from Senator
Thayer's Cincinnati speech, in which
he predicts that President johnson
will make forcible resistance to the
authority Of Congress:
"The question may be asked, How
can he do such thing?' You recol-
lect that six months ago Governor
Swami OF Maryland was elected a
United States Senator, and that in a
few weeks afterward he declined, Civ
ing grave reasons of State as the
cause. 1t was that Lieut.. Governor
Cox of that State could not be trust
ed for Johnson's purposes. There
is to-day a standing army in Maryland,
an organized military force, such as
no other State in the Union has, Off
cered mainly by returned rebels
When the time comes which he looks
for, under some pretense Johnson may
declare Maryland and the District of
Columbia under martial law, and call
upon Governor Swami to bring forth
his militia. There is nothing that
will deter johnson from his purpose
except when the issue comes that his
courage may fail. | make this state
ment that the American people ma,
know the danger that threatens theil
peace and safety"

'None who hear these popular instruments are
surprised at the very strong favor with which
they are regarded by our leading musicians.
Their quality of tone is admirable, being SON

full and expressive variety for home music, and
of great depth and power for Churches, Sabbath
Schools, &C. The Manufacturers are constantly
receiving unsonclted testimonials from all parts
of the country."-Boston Journal.
We are manufacturing new styles of organs
for churches with beautiful upright cases, having
gilded imitation pipes making them fine orna-
mental instruments for the choir, galleries or
chapel. All musicians, upon hearing them, ex-
press their surprise at the amount of pure and
full tone which these organs produce. They
contain the deep, Manual Sub Bass and Super
octave coupler giving them sufficient volume to
sustain even a hundred or more voices, and yet
they are rich, soft and expressive effects.
PRICES VERY REASONABLE.

After twenty years experience in the manufac-
ture of stoves, we became convinced some six
years since, that a vast amount of money was
being expended by hepeople of this country. in
buying cheap and almost worthless stoves. a
large portion ofwhich was wasted and that true
economy consisted in buying the best stoves that
could be made, notwithstanding the price was
higher. With this view we proceeded to con-
struct the American Cooking Stove, and spared
no pains or expense to make it the best and most
perfect stove that could be made. And we have
experimental with it, and carefully watched its
operation for the last six years, and when an i'm
provement suggested itself, we have at once
adopted it, and we have several fthese improve
ments secured by letters patent. In this manner,
we do not hesitate to say, we have brought it to
higher state of perfection than has heretofore
been attained in cooking stoves. The recent i'm
provements in this stove has added largely to its
convenience and effectiveness. In all the varie-
ties of stoves we manufacture, we study useful
ness, durability, convenience and economy in
operation, rather than cheapness in price, and in
so doing we are satisfied we study the interest of
those purchasing our stoves.
