THE SINGER NEW FAMILY SEWING Ma

THE SINGER NEW FAMILY SEWING MA
i CHIMES recommended as s'unquestion-
ably the best sewing machine in existence" and,
satisfaction guaranteed or the money taken back
after thirty days trial
For the information of persons unacquainted
with sewing machines we would state that the
Singer New Family Machine, uses two threads,
making the Lock Stitch which is the same on both
sides. The stitch, (Which absurdly enough has
been represented as inferior to the chain stitch
of the Wilcox Gibbs,) is the one employed by
nine-tenths of all first class machines those
selling at Fifty Dollars and upwards
From the official report Of sales for the last
year, it may be seen that the SINGER leads every
other double thread machine by Thousands and
the Wilcox Gibbs, single thread, by Tens of
Thousands.
We furnish the only reliable hand machine
from Twenty to twenty-five dollars. By calling
on us, persons can have sewing machines prompt-
ly adjusted or repaired.

WAR RuNoRs.- good, honest
people are alarmed at the news from Wash

on" They should remember that the men
who fought, on both sides, during the last
war have had enough of it, and that those
who did not will never fight anybody. Any
way, our policy is to be quiet, vote down the
Constitution up Chesapeake & 0. r.

EXPRESSIVE IF NOT COMPLIMENTARY -
The Boston Post, referring to the recent
change of district commanders, says: "The
substitution of an intelligent, brave and
honorable officer like General Meade for such
an ass as Pope, is the best possible assurance
of the Presidents desire to see the laws faith
fully administered, and the people relieved
from the freaks of authority run mad. Pope's
headquarters were always nearer his saddle
than his shoulders"

Tie Boston Coprier don't feel much Ike
giving up Ii We are to judge by the follow
ing:
Ii is to be borne 10 mind that there is a
deal Of margin between mere lavity and
that good naturei philosophy which takes
things as it fin l. them. The country has
been in more or less morbid state of mind
for ncarly-eight years, and, although there
is wrong and corruption enough around us
and about us to keep alive the sense Of in
dignation which we have been wont to ex-
press, we must give pause to excitement
and look at matters more cody, if only for
the sake of recreation. By doing so, we
ompromise neither our position nor our
principles A new start is sometimes an
advantage, aud it cannot be denied that our
misiortunes and our weakness have rlisead
US time and again, into mpraoticabe ways.
It Is neither the duty, nor the best policy
on the part of minority, to make purely
factitons opposition to the majority. OPP
position, to be efficient must be discrimina-
five. 1t must not strike out blindly in the
lark; animated only by spleen aud anger
1t must be self possessed, conscientious, and
iast Above all, it must have som thing
positive to offer in lieu of that which it pro-
poses to supplant. Negations are nothing
by themselves. A thirsty people cannot be
holod away from pool of water, though it
be never so muldy, by being told Simply
that it is muddy and not good for them.
There must be purer stream in the dis
tancc with good hope OF reaching it. In
short. invtctive is. worn out. We must
unite upon distinct pl n of relief, place it
alongside of the wretched policy of the par
ty in power and trust to the logic of events
for ultimate success.
No sign of the times is more promising
for the future of the Democratic party than
the course of its organs since the election.
They are of course too badly hurt for jgs
aud reels, but they d, not play like mufael
drums, nor give out funeral marches. Tha
obsolete psalmo1y and partisan discord that
used to gush forth spontaneously, and by a
sort of verdant common consent, are aban
doned for purer and more rat onal music.
There is no mistaking its tones Bat its
tones are full and cheerful, and modulated
TO the occasion. They are at once both
natural and national. The people of the
South are not going to be sacrificed upon
the altars of passion, and the Democratic
press will look to it that they are not de-
ceived as to the true nature Of the situation.
The Democratic party is q creature of lite.
1t is as old as the hills. 1t will on last the
tempests. Ii is immortal. SO much we
may conccde to sentiment. But 1t is also
shrewd, a practical, any every day work
ing organizations which can lily afford the
,ackadiscial twa9als of those who are all for
talk and no doing. We shall not be con-
tent to be still or idle, and we shall go into
the next Congress with surer aims. clnser
organzation; aud better temper than we
have had these seven years Of modification

trustful; for its costs nothing, and will car-

From the Steubenville Gazette
Col. McCOOK fOr Governor

The Cadiz Sentinel of this week has an
able article introducing our distinguished
fellow citizen, Colonel George w. McCook,
as the next Democratic candidate for Gov
ernor of Ohio. If Colonel McCook will
consent to the use Of his name for this pos
ition, we have no doubt tut that it will not
only meet the approval of the Delnoc'acy OF
Jefferson county, but also Of very large
majority of the Democracy Of the State.
Col McCook has not only every aualf.
cation to make a popular end successful
candidate, but also an Die and distinguish
ed Governor of the third State of the Union
and one that would be an honor and credit
to our State
We do not know whether the Colonel
will consent to the use Of his neme at this
time but,w believe he will, because he Is
always ready and willing to make personal
sacrifices for the success OF the grand cd
Democratic party. This he has shown in
.he past, and we feel confident he will show
the same devotion to theDemocra.ic party
in the future.
The article from the Sentinel will be
found in another column.
