II cannot be surpassed, and In my opinion It

Very respectfully, In. DAVIS.
Coso, MISS, January !, 1867.
Mn. W. C. BAyKs-Dear Sir. The new i'm
proved Patent Press you recently put up for us
has given entire satisfaction. We think Il the
only press we have ever seen Of the screw kind
put up on the proper principle. II has every
convenience that w could wish for, and as
speedy as any other we have ever known; be-
sides, IL works easier than any we have ever
seen In use. Two men eau make a bale OF five
or six hundred pounds on Il without much ex-
ertion. and one mule will make a six hundred
pound bale with ease. We are Of the impress
sion that the screw will last a lifetime, und
pack all the cotton that will be required. We
have used Ave different kinds, and find this the
hest Of any we have ever tried, and take pleas
ure IN recommending Il to the public, feeling
fully satisfied that any one who tries II will be
pleased. Yours truly,

the principle derived from the feudal
system-that the masses Of the people
belong to the Governments under
which they live, which in another form
is commended for by the monarcbies of
Europe, including Great Britain,
once a subject always a subject-that
we on the contrary main tain Chat an
