You state 10 that the beveled hoops. perforated

not only yourselves for the manufacture Of SUI"

In regard TO the subject of Infringement 1t IS wen
Setlled that II Is no infringement OF patent Ioi @

The DEMOCRATIC DEPARTURE is still "up-

Vallandigham led his party in his county to ac-

freak Of man who was seeking notoriety as
much as any thing else, but when the Penn
sylvania Democratic Convention adopted his
views by clever majority, the hide bounds
commenced to quake. They commenced to re-
alize the fact that the leaders in the party were
shaping his course and theirs. And now that
Ohio and Tennessee have followed Penrsylva-
MAS example, they are startled. Here is the
resolution adopted by the Ohio Convention bv
a vote Of 365 to 159 viz:
"-the Democratic party pledges itself
to the faithful enforcement of the ConStitntion
as 1t now is, securing equal rights to all, with
out distinction of color of previous condition. .
And on the lst inst. the Democratic Execu-
tive Committee of Tennessee adopted resolu
tions declaring their acceptance, in good faith
OF the issues of the war, with all late amend
ments to the Constitution, and their acouics
cence in them as the supreme law of the land
which has been endorsed by the Democratic
