TO THE PEOPLE OF VIRGINIA

TN PRESENTING TO YOUR NOTICE, FOR
l. the fist time in an extended way, the F. f
lFAMILY FAVORITE) WEED SEWING-DIA-
CHINE, we will state some of the reasons why
we think we are justified in claiming it to be the
BEST: ~.
BECAUSE before being offered to the people,
1t was tested by able sewing machinists, and by
them SO pronounced;
BECAUSE, it took the first prize at the great
Paris Exposition in 1857;
BECAUSE, it took the first prize at the great
four weeks contest between sewing machines ut
the Baltimore (DIaryland) Institute in 1869
BECAUSE, it will do what any other first
class lock-stiteh will do;
BECAUSE, it will do what most of them can
not do. We say this without disparagement to
the merits of other machines;
BECAUSE, in the five years 1t has been before
the people, the sale. has been SO rapid that the
company have been unable to supply the de-
nland, thus leaving Virginia and great part of
the country unsupplied; and last, but not least,
to give n woman's reason,
BECAUSE, it is just little darling" and so
easy to learn
Price the same as any other first-class machine.
Sold on the instalment plan, if desired
Machines sent on trial and instruction given
free.

count of the great four weeks contest at Balti-

To-day lie the anniversary Of the great
fire in Chicago. One short year has not
blotted from the remembrance of our
readers the thrill Of horror which vibra-
ted from one end Of the country to the
other as the news "Chicsgo is burning
Travelled the electric wire, and carried
sorrow and dismay into every city, town
and village in the country-how the whole
country arose as enc man, and offered
sympathy ana aid to the suffering and
Borrowing Of the great city. But one
short year has passed and the city which
was great in its prosperity. sublime in its
disaster, has been marvellous In its resur-
rec,on. To-day like man who, in the
full possession of all his faculties and
powers, is struck down with fell disease,
but too strong to die, rises to newness Of
life and walks forth with brain and heart
and limbs strengthened by the purifca-
ton of disease, Chicago rejoices in her
second life, her wonderful new growth,
and the whole country rejoices with her.

THE CAIRO DAILY BULLETIN, WEDNESDAY OCTOBER O. 1872

The first thing we shall hear, he 10 cleo.
ted, will be = proposition in congress that,
in obedience to the expressed will of all
the people, Of all parties, the presidential
term shall be extended 10 six years, or even
to ten, with the expectation Of compromise
on eight. This will hardly surprise us
after what we have seen and heard. We
are told now that the "fnancial interests
require that Grant shall be continued in
power; will they not continue,to "require"
it2 We are told that the peace of the
South cannot be maintained without him
10 II likely that he will make II more
PEACEFUL 1t is asserted that under him
the country has been more prosperous and
contented than IL ever was before; and
should not this happy rule be continued
All the reasons why Grant should be re-
elected nov will be urged with double
force and plausibility in favor of the ex-
tension Of his term Of office. We already
hear men talking Of the inconvenience Of
presidential elections and the interruption
they cause TO business, and arguing that
the term should be made at least
six years. Only the other day
distinguished and eloquent advocate OF
Grant declared that the people wanted
ted him to be their president "as long ms
'f"i anu LUG ConstltutitH Wbu'u Vt'Ht'
The constitution, unfortunately, offers no
bar to his reelection, but we think IT
would be MS well to leave God out of the
question. And exactly the means which
are now used to make his reelection CONE
pulsory will then be employed with still
greater potency to effect this change in the
constitution. The people will have lost
their opportunity. They will be
able In tesr down the mower
which they allowed TO intrench
itself in the government, and the term
will be extended. Then will follow the
Napoleonic elective presidency, justified
by national necessities, and nothing is
then left for this country but submission
to permanen,ly-established government,
or resort to revolution. The logic is not
ours. 1t is the logic Of humani,y-the
logic Of all history. The condition of this
country has had many presidents, and
Grant and his policy many prototypes,
and in no case In which such policy has
triumphed has a practical dictatorship
failed to follow.
