PROOFS Of THE SUPERIOR QUALITY
OF THE
AMERICAN WATCH
MADE AT
WALTHAM, MASS.

The American Watch Company, of waltham,
Mass, respectfully submit that their Watches
cheaper, more accurate, less complex, more
durable, better adapted for general use, and
more easily kept in order and repaired than any
other watches in the market They are simpler
in structure, and therefore stronger, and less
likely to be injured than the majority of foreign
watches, which composed of from 125 to 300
pieces while in an old English watch there are
more than 700 parts. How they run under the
hardest trial watches can have, is shown by the
following letter:
PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD COMPANY
OFFICE OF THE GENERAL SUPERINTENDENT,
ALTOONA, Pa, Is Dec, 1866.
Gentlemen The watches manufactured by you
have been in use on this railroad for several
years by our enginemen, to whom we furnish
watches part Of our equipment. There are
now some three hundred of tn m carried on our
line, and We consider them good and reliable
time-kceper. Indeed, have great satisfaction
in saving your watches give us less trouble, and
have worn and do wear much longer without
pairs than any watches VIC have ever had in use
on this road. AS you aware, we formerly
trusted in those of English manufacture of ac-
knowledged good reputation but a class they
never kept time as correctly, nor have they done
good service, yours.
In these statements am sustained by nv pre-
decessoI, Mr.. Lewis, whose experience extended
over a series of years,
Respectfully,
EDWARD Fl. WILLIAMS,

chased of Watch Dealers throughout the country.

GENTS Il think am only doing the part of
good citizen when testify to the great benefits
received by me from the use OF your Stomach
Bitters during the last five years. Sojourning
for time in the oil regions, in 1861, had Sc
we're bilious attack, which, in connection with
dyspepsia, left me in a very weak condition. 1
was advised to try your bitters, and, having pro-
cured bottle, found that they worked like
charm upon me, eight pounds having been ad
ded to my weight in the space of one week, and
new life seemed to have been infused into my
system, SO much so, that have been induced to
use them every summer since that time. As
tonic, think they are invaluable.
This simmer, having had similar attack, land
as before, much reduced,) although under the
tt eatment of an No. l physician, was again
obliged to have recourse to the old Bitters, and
with the same good result, having gained six
pounds within few days. 1 purchased half
dozen bottles few weeks since, and purpose to
use them regularly as tonic.
Wishing you every success remain
Yours, gratefully,

Republican State Convention.

In accordance with the following resolution,
passed after full consultation, at meeting of the
Republican State Executive Committee, held in
Raleigh, on the 9Th of June last, q Delegate Re-
publican State Convention is hereby called, to
meet at Raleigh at II o'clock, A. NJ, on Wednes-
day, September 4th, 1867:
&C Resol0ed, That this Committee recommend
that Convention of the Republican party of
North Carolina assemble in Raleigh on Wednes-
day, the 4th day of September next; andsthat
the people be requested to elect or appoint,
through primary meetings, delegates thereto.''
The object in calling the Convention, is that it
may take such additional steps as may seem
cessary and proper to add to the efficiency of the
Republican organization in North Carolina, and
to secure the triumph of Republican principles
and measures.
1t is proposed that each County in the State
send as many delegates, white and colored, as it
may desire, and that when assembled in Conven-
ton the respective Counties shall be entitled to
as many votes as they are entitled to members of
the House of Commons under the present ap-
portionment.
ALI who are prepared TO act and cooperate
with the Republican party, are invited to attend
and participate in the proceedings of the Con-
vention.
The great and vital questions of public policy
now at issue-the Importance of insuring an
early return of North Carolina to the Union and
the controlling influence the Republican party is
destined to exert in the accomplishment of this
result, render it important that the Convention
should assemble with such spirit will insure
harmony and concert of action.
With all the associations connected with the
struggles and triumphs of the Republican party
its wise and patriotic record in peace as we'll
as in war-its anxiety and power to preserve and
perpetuate the Union-there is everything to in
spire our friends, and to induce them to CO.
operate resolutely and vigorously in the work of
restoring North Carolina to a loyal position in
the government, thus fastening the return of
peace and prosperity to her people.

SACRAMENTO As A. PLACE FOR THE CAPITOL
The Slough of Despond, in which certain raid
ers upon the State Treasury are endeavoring to
prop up the falling walls of a Capitol building
they are erecting in a goose pond has found an ad
vocate in the Alpine Chronicle. 1t is a genuine
case of the mountains speaking to the sea ,, pro-
yided the article was not written in Sacramento
and forwarded to the mountains for publication.
In our fancy we imagine we can see gay Sacra
mento ~cuss,r who fattens by his drafts upon the
peoples treasury, seated in bis gondolier at the
base of one of the props at the falling walls of the
State Capitol indicting the article in question.
Then comes the watching of the Sacramento Un-
ion for the paper containing the article to be copied
approyingy to the great humiliation of those two
great enemies of Sacramento fit place for State
Capitol buildings--the gentle dews Of Heaven and
the Butte RECORD. 1t is a sweet morsel to the
rolling tongue Of the Sacramento Union. "Drown
ing men catch at straws.' The argument OF the
article is an able one: 1t relates that Sacramento
has wthstood the ordeal of fire. So have other
California Cities and Towns. In this respect, sac
ramento has no claims superior 70 other localities.
But Sacramento has been flooded Other towns
and cities have not. Therefore Sacramento is the
place for the State Capitol. In the course OF the
article thanks are rendered to God that there are
bnt few opponents to the erection of State Capitol
buildings in a mudhole, like the BUTTE RECORD.
,ppropriations from the State Treasury must con-
tnue for props to the walls, or that huge pile OF
State folly will soon resemble Fort Sumter after the
Iropsides had thumped her with fifteen inch solid
shot and Shells 1t is ungcnerous i'll the Alpine
Chroncie to insist upon having the State Capitol
erected in Sacramento, where it can play upon it
with the hydraulic ram. known as the American
river sent from its mountain with force
and power that nothing but ''Rabes Tannery' has
been enabled to withstand. Every one to their
taste as the lady remarked when she kissed the
COW. Our objections to Sacramento based
wholly upon the uniitness Of the ground for build
ings that are int nded to be of permanent char
acter. With the foundation walls already crumb-
ling into the surrounding mud and water, we warn
the people Of the utter folly of further expenditure
in that direction. 1t may be unfortunate for Sac
ramento. II So sorry for that city. But
our sorrow for that city shall not us to sane
tion an outrage upon the people of the State. We
object to further expenditure for the erection of
capitol buildings in Sacramento. Place them
where they viii stand for ages, to mark the pro-
gress gcnus. enterprise. and good Judgment of
those erecting them but d. not send the present
generation OF California down TO the future to be
Known only as the seriptural fool who erected his
house uron The sand.
