REASON WHY THE
AMERICAN ATCH

Made at WALTHAM, MASSA CHUSETTS,
IS THE BEST.
1t is made on the best principle. Its frame is
composed of SOLID PLATES. Nor jar can in
tcrferc with the harmony of its working and no
sudden shock can damage its machinery. Every
piece is made and finished by machinery (itself
famous for its novelty well COR its effective
ness) and is therefore properly made. The watch
is what all mechanism should INACCURATE,
SIMPLE, STRONG AND ECONOMICAL. Ex-
cept some high grades, too costly for general use
foreign watches are chiefly made by women and
boys. Such watches are composed of several
hundred pieces, screwed and rivcted together,
and require constant repairs to keep them in any
kind of order. All persons who have carried
"ancres'' "lepines" and English Patent Lee
vers," are perfectly well 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 gooG low priced watch for the mill
ion, to take the place os these foreign imposi-
tons; the refuse of foreign factories, which were
entirely unsaleable at home and perfectly worth
less elsewhere.
low well we have accomplished this, may be
understood from the fact that many years of
public tIial, we now make MORE THAN HALF
OF ALL THE WATCHES SOLD IN THE
UNITED STATES, and that Others have ever
given such universal satisfaction. While this de-
partmcnt of our business is continued with in
creased facilities for perfect work, we at pre-
sent engaged in the manufacture of watches of
the very HIGHEST GRADE KNOWN TO
CHRONOMETRY, unequaled by anything hither-
to made by ourselves. and unsurpassed by any
thing made in the world For this purpose we
have the ampIcst facilities. We have erected an
addition to main building expressly for this
branch of business, and have filled it with the
best workmen in service. New machines
and appliances have been constructed which per-
form their work with consummate delicacy and
cXactness. The choicest and most approved ma
tcrals only are used, and We challenge COMPARE
son between this grad. of work and the finest
| imported thermometers We do not pretend to
sell our watches for LESS MONEY than foreign
Watches but we do assert without fear of contra
| diceion that for the SAME MONEY our product is
incomparably superior All our watches, of what
ever grade, are fully warranted, and this warran
| Tee is good at all times against us or agents
| in all parts of the world.
| CAUTION.-The public are cautioned to buy
| only of responsible dealers All persons selling
| counterfeits will be prosecuted.

The Presidents Impeachment-Tke plan
of Operations.

The opinion seems to prevail that the pro-
ceeslings commenced in the House of Repre-
sentatives looking to the impeachment Of the
President of the United States will end in
smoke that the movement is only rose de
gueire, or a sharp diversion against the adj
ministratiOn, and that there is no design en-
tcrtained by his accusers of pushing the af
fair to the Indictment and trial "f President
Johnson before the Senate. We have !nfor-
nation from Washington, however, which
justifics the opposite conclusion that Ash
leys resolution and the pending inquiry of
the Judiciary Committee Of the House ere
but the initial steps to Il deliberate purpose
on the part Of the republicans in Congress
for the removal of President johnson from
office, and without any needless delay.
Tie plan of operations which it is sale:
has been agreed upon is this: The Uous
Committee on the Judiciary will make up
their report in favor of impeachment. and it
will be adopted by the House before the
close of the present session. A Committee
will then be appointed and Instructed to 60,
in the name of the House and impeach An
drew Johnson OF certain high crimes and NUS
d9mcanorS before the Senate. and demand
his trial upon the charges preferred against,
him. The Senate Will then postpone the
matter to the meeting of that body in con-
nection with the new House of Representa-
tives on the 18th of March, for the reason tiIat.
on that day the term of one third OF the
present members Of the Senate expires, and
new members to a considerable extent, inclu-
ding several radical gains, viii take their
places. With this meeting on the 4th of
March the Senate win first proceed to the
election of their presiding officers, and Ben
jamin Wade, of Ohio, it is supposed, vii! be
chosen. Mr. Wade, therefore, as President
of the Senate, in the event Of the reno raj
of Andrew johnson, will become President
of the United States under an existing law
of Congress made in pursuance of the consti-
tuition. With this contingency thus provid-
ed for, the Senate next, as high Court of i'm
parchment, Chief Justice Chase presiding,
will proceed to the trial of President john
son upon the indictment of the House and
will push the trial rapidly forward, and as it
is believed by the prosecution, to his convic-
ton and removal from Office. 1t is predic-
ted that within two months from the COM
mencement of trial (if not with its COM
Andrew Johnson will be dis
placed and Senator Wade will be promoted
to the White House-lNeoo York Herald.

pras;3an+ .Sxva;,, asl,s II, f,is sssThird Let

President Swain asks, in his "Third Let
ter to Gov. Perry on Political Subjects" now
the Congress is to ascertain the true charac-
ter of the 10000 voters in this States Inc
answer is easy 1t can be done by the test
oath in Mr. Stevens bill, or by some other
tcst-oath. The instigators ana leaders OF the
rebellion, and such latter-day war saints as
Governors Swain and Graham, would not
think for one moment of degrading" them
selves by taking this test-oath. AS matter
of course, the provisions of any act to re or
ganize the States would be most rigidly en-
forced: and if any of the small fry" that
follow those gentlemen should break through
the trap and take the oath falsely, they
would be punished severely for the crime OF
perjury The idea of the old colored man
would be realized in their case. When asked
by the Court if he knew what would be the
consequence of swearing falsely as witness
he answered promptly, g Yes, SIR ears OH and
no part in the kingdom"
There will he no difficulty in sitting the
chaff from the wheat. Let Congress pass the
bill properly guarded, and the loyal people
will soon ascertain the true character of our
voters The political character of every vo
ter in the State is known to his neighbors.
The loyal will be put on the books, and the
disloyal will be kept off the books; and no
one will be allowed to vote or hold office
whase name is not recorded in the book.
We trust our friend, the President of our
State University, who has written his Third
Letter to Gov. Perry ON Political Subjects"
can now perceive that it is possible for Con-
rress "to ascertain the true character of the
100000 voters in this State"

The Boston Post asks: eff the present
Congress can abrogate the present govern
ments of the Southern States, why can't the
next Congress abrogate governments recog-
nized by this Congress, and one Congrcssat-
ter another go on in the same way?"
The Post has asked a silly question. Con-
gress is the law-making power When it
acts, as it certainly will, its action will be
final. When Congress admits new State,
for example, there is no power to thrust that
State out of the Union; and so when it re-
stores State to its constitutional relations
to the government, there is no power any
where, except in the State thus restored, to
sever those relations. Any attempt to sever
snch relations is treason on the part of those
engaged in it.
