After twenty years. experience in the manuac-
ture OF stoves, we became convinced, some six
years since, that vast amount of money was
being expended by the people OF this country, in
buying cheap and almost worthless stoves, large
portion OF which was wasted; and that true
economy consisted in buving the best stoves that
could be made, Notwithstanding the price was
higher. With this view we proceeded to CEN
struct the American Cooking Stove and spared
no pains or expense to make it the best and mosl
perfect stove that could be made. And we have
experimental with it, and carefully watched its
operation isr the last six years, and when an i'm
provcncnt suggested itself, we have at once
adopted it, and have several of Il csc improve
ments secured by letters patent. In this manner
we do not hesitate to say, we have brought 1t to
ahigher state of perfection than has heretofore been
attained in cooking stoves. The recent improve
ments in this stove has added largely to its con-
venencc and effectiveness, In all the varieties OF
stoves we manufacture, we study usefulness, du-
rability. convenience and economy in operation,
rather than chcapness in price and in so doing we
are satisfied We study the interest Of those rur-
chasing our stoves.

TO THE DEMOCRATS !
THE ARGUS
For Is Cents a Month !

If the Democracy Of this County
intend to make an effort to carry the
County, or to aid in carrying the
State and the Nation, they must see
to it that no family, disposed to read,
is unprovided with some Democratic
Paper during the campaign. The
County Committee tone member Of
which resides in each Township in
the County and should act for his
Township should see that Demo.
cratic Associations or Clubs are
formed in every Township and that
every School District has its Com.
mittees, and every family in each
District is supplied with something
70 read.
For the purpose of doing our
share in this work, we will send the
WEEKLY ARGUS in clubs Of ten
copies or more, all sent to one man,
and for distribution among people
who are not now subscribers, at IS
cents a month to each person, which
would be 60 cents to each subscriber
for four months, or As cents for
three months. Remember that we
take no single subscribers at this
rate-and no clubs of less than ten,
all in each club of ten or more to
pay in advance, and all commence
and end at the same time, and all
sent to one man. This offer is not
made to persons who are now sub
scribers, for we cannot afford to
furnish the paper at these rates. 1t
is made with n view of inducing
the Democrats Of each Township
to raise a fund for supplying such
persons as might be benefited by
reading our side Of the political
questions at issue. The money
must always accompany the order,
as no papers will be sent until the
money is received. Direct letters
to DANFoRTH IL JONES,

THE NEW DECLARATION.

We print, to-day, for distribution in this
city, in Davenport, Moline and Camden, a
large extra edition of our paper containing
the national democratic platform; also the
new Declaration Of Independence made by
the white republicans who seeing the dan.
gerous tendencies Of the radical wing of the
republican party, have determined to join
with the democrats in an effort to save the
country from a centralized despotsm and
ruin.
We also print, in q parallel column, the
old declaration, that all may see how nearly
in the same words the white republicans
have couched their IDEAS.
All who are fortunate enough to get a
copy Of the paper containing it, should keep
it to show their republican neighbors, during
the campaign. Those who are not, should
send to the ARGUS Office and get copy.
Those who wish tie ARGUS for the cam.
paign will find our terms in this paper.

views and sentiments, moved a resolu.
ton to that effect,
The chair ruled the resolution out of or.
der, because in contravention OF the rules Of
order adopted by the convention. He said
that it had been decided in former conven.
tons that each state delegation had the right
TO determine the vote of delegations as o
whole.
Mr.. Bsyard argued that this was T. strained
view Of the rule. This was deliberative
body and each delegate, he thought, had
the right to vote for himself.
Mr.. Clymer, of Pennsylvania, read from
the proceedings of the Charleston conven.

yes the right of each delegate to cast his in.

The delegate from the second district of

vote for Andrew johnson, whom he eulo.
gized as the defender Of the constitution and
the rights Of the people. Great cheers
Mr.. Richardson stated that the Illinois
convention instructed for Pendleton, and
also instructed its delegates to vote as
unit. A majority of delegates have decided to
to 90 now for other distinguished gentem en-
and he considered it his duty to cast the en-.

another scene of great confusion.
