A CARD FROM THE

This Cmpany beg leave to inform i pub
lie that.they commenced operations in 1850,
and their factory now covers four acres of
ground, and has cost more than a million dol
lars and employs over 700 operatives. They
produce 900 Watches a year, and make and
sell not less than one half of all the watches
sold in the United States.
The difference between their manufacture
and the European is briefly this: European
Watches are made almost entirely by hand, and
the result is of necessity q lack of that uni
formity which is indispensable to correct
timekeeping. Both the eye and the hand of
the most skillful operative must vary But it
is fact that, except watches of the higher
grades, European watches are the product of
the cheapest labor of Switzerland, and the re-
suit is the worthless Azores, bepines and so
called Patens Levers-whjch soon cost more in
attempted repairs, than their original price
Common workman, boys and woman, buy
thorough separate parts of these watches rom
various factories, polish and put them together.

How American Watches are
) made.
The American Waltham Watch is made by
no such uncertain process-and BY no such in
competent Worsmen. All the Companv'si on
eraJions, from the reception of raw materials
to the completion Of the watch are carried on
uuder one root, and under one sktlfll and com
petent direction But,the great distinguishing
feature of their Watches is the fact that their
several parts are all made by the finest the
most perfect and delicate machinery ever
brought to the aid Of human industry Every
one Of the more than a hundred parts of every
watch is made by machine-~that infalibly
reproduces every succeeding part with the
most unvarying accuracy. 1t WAS only neces-
sary to make one perfect watch of any parti-
cular style and then to adjugt the hundred ma
chimes necessary to. reproduce every part of
that watch, and it follows that every succeed
ing watch mu st be like it. T ~
The Company respectfully submit their
watches on 8hetr merits only. They claim to
make.

GERRIr SMITH AND THE CONSTITUTION.

GERRIT SMITH AND THE CONSTITUTION
Hon Gerrit Smith Ga leading abolitionist) has
issued circular in which he takes issue with
Chief Justice Chase, of the Supreme Court,
upon questions of constitutional law. He denies
that the late war was prosecuted under authori-
ty of the Constitution of the United States, but
claims, on the contrary, that it was carried on
by Congress in accordance with the laws of war,
and that the vanquished party is not in any
sense legally chargeable with treason. Mr.
Smith regards the selection of leaders for pun
ishment under the charge of treason as "better
suited to feudal times than our own, and to a
despct-ruled country than to our own" He
says, while pleading for more lenient treat
ment of the South as the surest road to peace:
allow sad it is that our country, which claims to
be the most liberal and advanced of all countries
the very Pharos of the worlds not yet humane
enough to feel that the conquered party in a civil
has suffered enoughl How disheartening to
the Republicans of Europe is the prospect that,
when they shall, now and then, be worsted in their
endcavors to overthrow despots those despots will
be able to quote the authority of enlightened and
liberal America to justify themselves in holding the
traitors Had revolutionary fathers failed and
Washington Franklin been hung for treason at the
close of the civil war, this opinion of the Chief
Justice would cover and justify the heart-reIding
aud heaven appalling deed"

Correspondence of the Democrat.
DALLAS, N. c., July 8, 1867.

Mr.. EDITOR: believe you have no cor
respondent in this section of the good "Old North
State" | assume the task of giving you few
items which may be of interest to some of the
readers of your Journal inasmuch as we have had
stirring times in our usually quiet little town the
present week.
Quite unexpectedly. but very much to the
qualification of the children, and the inhabitants
generally, Mr. w. f. Hunter, The Children's
Friend" made US visit and delivered series of
four Lectures to the children on the subject of
Sunday Schools; one lecture to the young gentle
men and ladies, and two illustrated lectures on
Scripture History to the people generally.
On the 4th, the Dallas Division, No. 3, Sons of
Temperance, numbering about IS members, held
public meeting in the Presbyterian Church and
were addressed by Mr. Hunter and others. and at
night Mr. Hunter addressed very large audience
on the subject of Temperance at the Court House.
1t is due Mr. Hunter to say that his visit to our
little Town will not soon be forgotten. Consider
ing the condition of the country. the superb
bounding demoraliZng influences with which the
young must come in daily contact. and consider
ing further that Mr. Hunter is seeking the moral
aud religious training of the children and youth.
We must say with freedom and candor that his
visit was both timely and providential.
Valuable inquiries and desires for Bible teach
ings and Bible truths have been awakened. in
many. The young gentlemen and ladies were
faithfully warned of the dangerous principles of
inhdeity-the cause and friends of Temperance
received new courage and strength. We will,
before changing the subject. wish Mr. Hunter a
long life with the Divine blessing in this noble
cause.
The colored people of the county turned out
almost in mass on the 4th with drum fife, fiddle,
triangle and Union League" badges to celebrate
the day. They were addressed by the Rev. VIM.
Rawlings, Cyrus c. Withers. Esq, and others,
after which with mounted Marshals and string
music they marched for some time around the
public square. and after being highly compli-
mened by the Chief Marshal the" were dismissed
and quietly wended their way home. Everything
passed off to the entire satisfaction of all con-
cerned, and | cheerfuy bear testimony to the
good order maintained throughout the day by our
colored citizens. RUSTIC.

THE CRoPs.-From what we can learn, it is
evident that the wheat crop of this section is
not full average one. In many sections it is
far below an average. Corn Immediately around
Asheville looks well, and if nothing occurs to
injure it, there will be full crop made. During
the past ten days, We have had two gentle, but
highly invigorating rains. In sections distant
from here, they suffering for rain, and the
Farmers feel uneasy about it. On the Swan
nanoa, this is particularly the case.-AsheUiHe
