We desire during the present year
that the democratic party will dem
onstate two mcts; first, that it Is ca
pable Of self-preservation, and second,
that &selfpurifcation. There OK
ists no competent reason why the dem
ocratic party should not continue IN
the control of the State the same
causes that operated TO remove re
publicanism are still present and will
be felt should that party by any con
tingeney ascend to power again. To
avoid the possibility Of such a de
noucmcnt the democratic party
should remain intact and preserve its
usefulness nv the use offs power at
the polls. This will be wear full Of
events and, perhaps, changes; when
ever they occur let it be shown that
instead Of rcceding the party
has more closely identified itself
with the people. Let it be shown that
where errors have occurred that it
Ioes not hesitate to correct them !;
and that these errors, if they exist at

the selection of proper men for the

TO some degree depend upon the IL

duty Is given and in its performance
the utmost care should be given that

suit on the mechanics Of the place is
entirely without excuse. There is
not a more orderly ard industrious
body of men in the United States,
than the mechanics, who are resident
in Huntington, and to whose efforts
the prosperity Of our city viii. in a

aware that the "Bond-holders" party
does not favor the mechanic, but that

SEWING MACHINES.
M4CHLNE.

The Remington Sewing Machines are
rapidly becoming general favorites and
gaining favor in every household where
thew are introduced While ii is not our
purpose TO run down any Sewing Machine,
we do claim that our Machines are so COM
plete as TO overcome all the principal OBJ
fictitious that are found in the Shuttle Sew
ing Machines. That which has been long
sought after by probably every Sewing
Machine Company in the land, has been
obtained in orr Machines that is, an
even, round, bird's-eye stitch on all kinds
of goods. coarse or fine, without the use
of Cog Wheel Gears, Rotary Cams or
Levers. working silent and smooth while
in motion, is positive proof that il will
continue to run well for years without eH-
pense.

The Ucst lirqiHia Journal thinks
Huntington should have 4 radical
city government, because the RI iicals
have built up the city of Washing
ton. The investigation now going ON
at Washington shows that land in
the suburbs of the city, assessed at
five cents q foot in value, Is taxed At
TWO cents 4 foot; and Mr.. Todd, of
Boston, tcs.iies that he owns proper
" assessed at $4,000, and the az
gregate ofhis taxes this year, inclu-
ding special Improvement, sewer, and
general taxes, Is over S11, 900.
Oh! certainly; give us 4 radical
corporation and State government, by
all means. But We should have the
Constitution changed first, so as to
allow the State To contract debt,
which is one Of the blessing. promised
by the Radical party.

REASONS WHY
THE REMINGTON FAMILY SEW.
ING MACHINES ARE SUPERB
OR TO ALI. OTHERS

THE REMINGTON FAMILY SEW
ING MACHINES ARE SUPERB
OR TO ALL OTHERS:
lst-Ther SIMPLICITY.-The use Of
them is very easily acquired, aud any
girl Of ordinary intelligence il capa-
bie Of keeping them in order.
2nd-l he CONSTRUCTION OF the Ms
chine is such that it may be run at n
higher rate OF speed than any Shut
tie Machine now in the market. ln
factories, where the speed has been
registered, over 900 stitches per min
ute have been attained with ease.
3d-Thcir DURABILITY.-Bcing 70
strong in all their parts, and fitted
with great mechanical nicetv, and be
ing free from the harsh, jarring move
ments, and friction, 80 common in in
ferior machines, they will wear a long
time withoHr repair Of any kni.
4th.-Their ADAPTABfLITY-By n
simple change Of the needle and
thread, they will sew the finest cam
brio or the heaviest leather. All the
various kinds Of boot and shoes,
buck-skin sewing, clothing, caps
stays, shirts mantles and dress ma
king can be done with equal facility,
5,h.-The SHCTTLE-Being large, it
will carry a great quantity Of thread
thus saving, in great measure, the
trouble Of filling the bobbins.
6th.-The means Of getting at the requir-
ed TENSION on the Threads is 70
simple and complete, that an even
back-stich on BOTH sIDEs Of the mate
rial (Which win not rip or ravel) can
be readily obtained.
7th.-They will SOW with equal facility
Silk, Twist, Linen Thread and COM
mon Spool Cotton.
Sth~They have no rotary cams, cog
wheels or lever arms TO make noise,
run hard or to get out OF order.
