Jefferson Davis.

The telegraph tells us, says the Chica-
20 Republicans, that 'sthe President has
been urged by prominent Republicans
and Others to release Jefferson Davis on
his own recognizance. 1t would be well
for President johnson to secure the sig-
natures Of prominent Republicans and
others to petition to that effect. We
think it very desirable that the signers to
such a petition be put upon the record,
and have their names telegraphed to the
people they represent as the prominent
! Republicans referred to, upon whom
the President may place the responsibility
of his action in case he SO exercises Ex-
ecutive clemency.
We are quite sure the people will not
symnathize with the prominent Repub-
iicansa who are SO interested in the dis
tngmshed, at least notorious prisoner.
The people are not yet through saying
hanging is too good for him. Wheth-
er this. Is humane, and worthy the digni-
ry of the American people, or not, it is
their sentiment when they remember the
agency this State prisoner has had in
breaking W their hearthstones, destroy
ing their kindred, spilling their blood,
and imposing upon them the present bur
dens of taxation.
It is the sentiment of the people Of the
Northwest that treason ought to be
made odious,' because they have not
abandoned the old-fashioned notion that
it IS the highest crime in the calendar.
They will endorse no act which in any
wise excuses or seems to excuse such
crinninality. Believing it crime, they
demand and constantly demanded, the
punishment Of those most guilty of it.
Believing it a crime they fought to sup
press it. No dignity Of character or pc
sItion, no wealth Of intellect nor blind
fanatisism, can be effectively urged in be-
half of lenieney in the treatment of trail
tors responsible for the most inexcusable
and atrocious acts known to civilization.
The people believe, and we believe,
that the permanent peace OF the repub-
tic depends largely upon the prompt ex-
ercise of the legitimate power Of the
Government. not only for the suppress
sion, but the punishment of crime. And
public opinion viii not sanction Or en-
dorse any shrinking from such response
bility on the part Of public servants.
prominent Republicans may render
the country far greater service by helping
to solve the material and financial pro-
blens which the war has thrust upon US,
than seeking to release jeff Davis on his
own recognizance

REASONS WHY THE
A MEXICAN WATCH
Made at WaItsa;s m, Mass.

A AMERICAN WATCH
Made at Waltsaalll, Mass.
Is TIE BEST. eHt
1t is made on the best principle. Its frame
is composed of solid plates. No jar can inter
fere with the harmony of its working and no
sudden shock damage its machinery. O Eve
ry piece is made and finished by machinery
(itself famous fer its novelty as well for its
The watch is what all mechanism should be
accurate, simple, strong and economical Ex-
cept some higher grades, too costly for general
use, reighn watches are chiefly made by wo-
and boys. Such watches are made OF
several hundred pieces, screwed and riveted
together, and require constant repairs to keep
them in any kind of order All persons who
have carried "ancres," "lepines'' and '.English
Patent Levers" are perfectly we'll aware of the
truth of this statement.
At the beginning of our enterprise more
than ten years ago, it was our FIRST object to
make thoroughly goo low priced watch for
the million, to take the place Of these foreign
imputatiens-the refuse of foreign factories-
which were entirely unsuitable at home and
perfectly worthless everywhere.
How we'll we have accomplished this may be
understood from the fact, that after many
yetrs OF public trial, we now make mere than
half of all the watches sold in the United
States, and that no others have ever given such
$50 cfip
of our business is continued with increased ia
cilties for perfect work, We at present en-
gagged in the manufacture of watches of the
very highest grade known to chronometry, I'M
equalled by anything hitherto maize by our
selves, and unsurpassed by anything made in
plest facilities. We have erected an addition
main buildings, expressly for this branch of
our business, and have filled it with the best
workmen i'll cur service. New machines and
form their work with consummate deiieacy and
exactness. The choicest and most approved
only are used and we challenge com
parrison between this grade of our work and
the finest imported chronometers. We do not
pretend to sell onr watches for less money than
foreign watches, but we do assert without fear
Of contradiction that for the same money Our
product is incomparably superior All our
watches, of whatever grade, are fully warrant 4
ed and this warrantee is good at ali times
against us or our agents in all parts of the
world. Ap
CAUTION.-The public are cautioned to
buy only of respectable dealers. All persons

Tree PLAyrIyG.-In planting trees this fall,
all should remember that it is requisite to set
the tree only Just so deep as to enable il to
stand, for we can earth to protect it from
heaving of the winters frosts; and as soon
as spring opens and the ground is leveled
down, the roots VIII start and seek their ap-
propriate depth. If we dig deep hole, es-
pecially in hard clay soil, aud FL! it with good
loam and set our Trees therein, we first invite
the water there as in cisteru-a and second
we cause a vigorous growth Of roots, until
they reach the uudsturbed clay, when a
check Is at once preeepGble and often an Or
chard stands from five to seven years without
apparently making any progress. Remember,
then, and plant your trees just so deep, as to
cover their roots, but no more; then earth
up for winter protection against frost for the
FIRST year, and dress down again to a level in
spring -H0riicu}triSt.
