Those who believe that lVovidencc inter ft rcs with American politic-, may find a perfect parallel fvr the hardening of Pha roah's heart in the action of the National Democratic Convention. Nothing, it seems, can teach the professional politician to un derstand the spirit of the jicople. The men who governed the New York Conven tion are the ablest and shrewdest of schem ers: there is no trick that they do not under stand. rib wire that they cannot pull; they have raised jiolitical intrigue to the dignity of a fixed science. Yet these unsurpassed managers of the masses, whose highest ob ject is success, have this week deliberately determined upon their own ruin. They have made a Presidential ticket which the people will not only refuse to accept, but which they will throw aside with indigna tion Victory was perhaps not to be by any means achieved by the Democracy but they have spumed even the chance of obtain ing it. The history of that Great Convention is one of utter indecision and incapacity. Not withstanding its assumption of courage, the Convention stood paralyzed by that grand popular uprising which placed Grant at the head of. the Republican party. From the first it was evident that it did not know where it should find the David to send forth against the giant. Every State had its can didate. Connecticut propo.-cd English; New Jersey, Parker: New York. Church: Ohio. Pendleton; Pennsylvania, Packer; Tennessee, Andrew Johnson; Wisconsin, Doolittle; Missouri, Blair; Indiana, Hen dricks: Maine, Hanon-k: Michigan, Revcrdy Johnsoii: and besides these were Ewing. Hoffman, Frank Pierce, McClellan, Chase. Seymour, of Connecticut, and Adanls. The C uvention required five da\ sto finish its work; it did not even adopt a platform till the third day. and ballotted two days more Before it could make its ticket. The events of the struggle we need not review. It is enough that Pendleton - slow rise and swift decline, the quick jump of Hancock to the front from 3i! votes to 144. Hendrick's ad vance frout 2 to >7. and the numberless change- and counter-changes attending, showing that the Democratic party was without a candidate, and scarcely dared to make one. As we anticipated, Pendleton could not Roininati himself, but in the end his friends decided the question. The West has revenged itself for the defeat of its fa vorite. by offering up Horatio Seymour as a sacrifice in November. And when Ohio gave it.- unanimous vote for Seymour, the whole Convention, wearied and bewildered, followed pell-mell, in despair of obtaining any better solution of its difficulties. His nomination prove- the entire subjugation of the Democracy to a few masters of political strategy. Horatio Seymour is neither the choice of his party, nor was he the real choice of the Convention. His nomination is the result of one of the neatest bits of -trategy known in American politics. After the lions had fought till they were crippled and exhausted, the fox, who presided over the contest and awarded to each fair play, descended into the arena aud appropriated the spoils. "I will not be your candidate," said Mr. Seymour. *1 dare not, must not, cannot, WON T. But he is the Democratic candidate: and, interesting as the singular changes of the Convention arc. we will pass them by. and briefly give our opinions of the issues his nomination presents. Above all thing-, this is apparent —that the opposition of Seymour to Grant makes all compromise between the two great parties impossible. They stand apart like Caipe and Abyla. frowning across the gulf, in ab solute separation, antagonistic and irrecon cilable forever. Daring the war Democracy was not more opposed to Republicanism than this nomination has made it now, and a- then there were no thin! party in which ' u i lbtful or indifferent could take refuge, sc. now every voter must make a positive |. 01 " Ry this act of the Convention the I.ll'Xiac , have lost that which of all things t n > most drcadinl— a new battlefield, a new leader, new banner, :( „d another cause. - r.i . -J. t i y boast of? It is not strategy *i } C 1 y' K 1 Potion the enemy would have dictated to g0 M McCleHan did from Richmond lack to Harrison's Landing, or to retreat as 1 emberton did into Yicksburg, rc tuo entrenchments that keep the enemy out arc the prison bars behind which an army starves. Were not the living issues of the day sufficiently unfortunate for the Democracy? Would it not have hard work enough to extenuate and defend its course since the close of the war, Andrew John son's policy of usurpation, and all those crimes for which he was righteously im peached and wickedly acquitted? Because these issues can by neither party bo put aside, and because the welfare of the country 'fominds fbeit- fin-,] ocftlcnmnt. we desired that Andrew Johnson himself should finish the battle he had begun. If the rcoonstruc tion laws are unconstitutional, let the man who hail vetoed them, and refused to exe cute them, be the chamjiion of his own the ory. Tf impartial suffrage is a wrong to the South, let the man who betrayed the negro lead the legions who would claim him anew. If the President, by authority of the Con stitution, has imperial powers to govern, which the representatives of the people can not limit, then let the man who defied Con gress meet it at the polls. The Convention -hraiik from this; yet it has a harder battle to fight witli Horatio Seymour for a leader than it could have had with Andrew John son; for Seymour is all that Johnson is, and more. By all that he has said and done since the end of the war. he is as thorough ly opposed to the plan of reconstruction laid down by the North as even the President is. he is as earnest an cneuiy of im part ial suffrage, the only security which the North possesses in the States which rebelled; be is, upon all the issues which are involved in reconstruc tion, entirely upon Johnson's side; —there- fore. the party has evaded nothing in nom inating him, while a glance will show how vast is the additional burden it has assumed. Horatio Seymour not only represents the enmity of the Democratic party to the Northern plan of the reconstruction of the Uuion, but also its enmity to the Union it self. lie stands pre-eminently among those Democratic leaders who, during the war, stood nearer to the Rebellion than they did to the Government. As it was McClellan's sli3me that the South affected to consider him our greatest general, and that rebel soldiers protested against his removal from the command of the Army of the Potomac, so it is the shame of Seymour that for him the enemies of the country had no abuse, and that it was to his election in 1864 that they looked for encouragement. When Jeffer son Davis spoke of the infamous Vandals of the North, it was not to Mr. Seymour that he alluded; and when the rebel drums came rolling up through Pennsylvania to ward New York, Mr. Seymour had little reason to tremble at the sound. The in stinct of *hc South sharpened by growing despair, recognized him and his friends as their allies; for though he never struck an open blow for the Rebellion, who shall tell us what honest stroke he ever made for the Union? Urouchjv when he lagged behind at Waterloo, was as truly the ally of Wel lington as if he had worn the British uni form; and we doubt if Mr. Seymour could have done the Union as much barm, bad he been its open enemy in Richmond, as he did do it, professing to be its friend in New York. Who has forgotten his speeches in 1861, when he blamed the North equally, at least, with the South, for the woes which the South alone had brought upon the country? And who does not remember how, in 1864, when he demanded that New York should re-elect him ber Governor, be openly announced that the Rebellion was as far from being conquered then as it was at Bull Run, pointed to the credit of the Con federacy in London and Paris as proof that the Union cause was hopeless, and held the Republican party, which in spite of his ef forts was crushing the Rebellion, responsi ble for the national debt ? lie, too pre.-ided over the Convention which declared the war for the Union a failure, and demanded "the immediate cessation of hostilities." And even while he was making these speeches to the Democracy, Grant was hold ing Lee's army motionless in Richmond, grasping the Rebellion by the throat, while Sherman was annihilating Johnston in Georgia, and preparing for bis march to the sea, and Sheridan was whirling Early upthe Shenandoah. Mr. Seymour is an orator whose eloquence bewitches and persuades; yet it needed mightier magic than his to convince the American people that the Re bellion was triumphant wbeu they bebeld it tottering to its grave, and that the war should be abandoned in the very crisis of victory. These things the people will not forget, and if they were willing to do so, the New 1 ork Convention has forced them to re member. By the nomination of Se3"mour, the Democratic party has revived the issues of the war itself, and has challenged com parisons that will be terrible and fatal. In placing Seymour against Grant, it has placed the Rebellion against the Union. Ibis is but a mere glance at the issues made up in the nomination of Seymour and Blair, and to others almost equally essential we can but allude. But no one can fail to sec that this campaign is also to be a battle between the Politicians and the People. A dozen men, who met quietly in a parlor on W ednejday night, dictated the nomination of Seymour—they made him what he is. But what man. what political oligarcy. what Convention, shall dare to claim the credit of the nomination of Grant? He was chosen by the People; their irresistable might left the Chicago Convention not even the shad ow of a choice. Grant is the leader of the nation itself, and represents not onfy its tri umph over the Rebellion, but its firm re solve that the causes of Rebellion—Slavery in any form, and Party Spirit—shall not be permitted to survive.— Wilkes JVti c York Spirit oj the Times. CHASE AND TIIE COPFEIIHEADS. The Chase men consider themselves so grossly insulted by the copperhead con vention. that the central Chase Association having its headquarters in New Yotk, and composed largely of conservative Democrats, met on Thursday after the nomination and adopted the following preamble and resolu tion. Whereas, The Central Chase Association, composed of Conservative Democrats and Republicans, who were displeased with the radical tendencies of the Republican party and the Copperhead affiliations of the De mocracy and who hoped that the leaders of the Fourth of July Convention would rise superior to the oid and effete policies of the party, and would nominate a states man in accordance with the existing and accomplished political facts; having had that illusion dispelled by the adoption of a repudiation platfoim and the nomination of a consistent opponent of the war and its results, do. Resolve to recommend the indorsement of Gen. U. S. Grant for President, and Schuyler Colfax for N ice President of the United States by the Central Chase Club, believing that, they more truly represent the views of a majority of the loyal citizens of the United States than the nominees of the Democratic Convention. - JUDGING the future by the past, our eopperhead friends are welcome to all the comfort they can glean from last years election in this State. In 1863 they carried the State by about three thousand majority! In 1864 in the Presidential Campaign, though in the darkest days of the war we swept it with a most triumphant Repub lican majority. The present campaign is of a similar character and the issues, with Seymour, the friend and advocate of the rebellion and the friend of the New l ork rioters as the copperhead candidate, are precisely the same, and wo give our copperhead cotemporaries fair notice to prepare for a similar defeat. AMONG the Delegates to the New York Convention waa Gen. Forrest, the Rebel hero of the Fort Pillow massacre. He waa in the right place, TUE BLOATED BONDHOLDERS. "—The Sub-Treasury in wall street is now engaged in paying off the duly gold interest on the five-twenty bonds, and the the New York Timet thinks the lines of men and women who may be seen daily waiting for their interest forms an instructive spectacle for the repudiating Peudletonians. They w ill observe how small a proportion of the bond holders, after all, look any ways bkaieti, * and how few of them drive after their inter est in gorgeous carriages and how very lew need a cart to convey their gold to their homes. They will observe what a very large number of them have but one or two coupons from bonds of a small denomina tion—say from *SOO bonds or sl,OuO bonds, and they will discover how many of them receive from S6O to $l2O as their half yearly income front their shall investment-. They will notice how plainly attired most of them are, and how promptly they depart after getting the small sums due to attend to the pressing duties of life. If the repudia ting Peudletonian should take the trouble to get acquainted with a few of them, he would probably find that they happened to be small traders, or mechanics, or clerks, or workingmen, or professional people, who had invested their .scanty savings in the Government funds at a time when the country wa< in pressing need of their assist ance. After such a view of the bloated bondholders, and such an idea of the people who hold the greater part of the National securities, the I'endletonian Democrats would perhaps come to wiser and bonester conclusions.— Baltimore American. REPUBLICAN RKCKLTTS.— -The Nation, referring to the passage of Mr. Cobb's reso lution by Butler and others, says: It only confirms the opinion we have long entertained, and which we have repeatedly, at the cost of much obloquy, ventured to express, that some of the recruits which the Republican party enlisted during the war will kill it before long, if it does not manage to give them a discharge, It is in its very constitution a moral party; it cannot live by tricks and knavery; and yet it has been allowing itself for some time past to be fre quently influenced, by men who know no other arts in politics. It must be remem bered, too, that during the past two months it has been the fashion with the party hacks to place the Butlers, Cobbs, and Logans far above the Trumbulls, Fessendens, anil Grimeses.and a portion of these hacks are still doing all they dare to heighten this con trast to the disadvantage of the latter. HENRY CLAY DEAN, a Copperhead politician, in a speech recently delivered in lowa is reported to have said that "one armed and one legged soldiers, thrust under our iMf.es as objects of charity, or< fit car casses for the gallons." Boys in blue, make a note of this. It is a very prevalent opinion among Cop perheads generally. It is of the same character with the repudiation scheme, which would result, in withholding pensions from these crippled braves and the widows and orphans of those who fell in defence of our common liberty. Opinions of the .New York Papers. We can give no countenance to this re- Jrogade movement of the Democratic party. The successful movements of the age arc progressive, and we tnu.-t go with them. All the world is going forward, c-xeept our Democratic party. It is behind Austria, Russia, Turkey, and China: for they all recognize the necessity of shiaing their policy to the pressure of living events. Hcy uiore is behind the age. and Blair, as a sol dier, pinned to his ticket, makes a m< Aery of the combination. Grant and Colfax against such a ticket will -weep the country from the Atlantic to the l'acifie. because tk blockheads of the Democratic party will have it that we are still living under the regime of poor Fierce and Buchanan.— !Herald. Such a ticket, resting on .such a platform, inspires no apprehension of success. Sey mour, with all his ability, has never filled a national office, and his reputation is t; t great outside the State. Blair, who one stood well with the Western volunteers, has ruined his standing by his recent surrender to the enemy The ticket, therefore, is n a strong one. It will not bring out even the full Democratic vote, and it. will a—urediy disgust the non-partisan element, without whose support the Democracy would, under any circumstances, strive in vain.—[ Tunis. Mr. Seymour is a skillful political gam bler and a cunning demagogue. Tn all matters of a partisan charactcr'he mistakes falsehood for fact, with an affectation of religious sincerity, which islittie k- than exasperating to all men who are caput !< of recognizing a lie when they hear it to' 1. He has all of Johnson's low cunning, with Buchanan's accomplishment and cowardice. It is difficult to conceive of any character whose accession to the Presidency would place the Government in hands so weak, unsteady, factious and corrupt, or do so much to plunge the country into anarchy, rebelion and civil war.— [Tribune. Mr. Seymor is strong with his parly in and out ol the State. He will exhaust the last Democratic vote in the South. lie is not the man, how ever, to draw a single Republican. To every principle of the Republican party be has been in life-long antagoni-m. He never uttered a single word in favor of free soil or the emancipa tionofan enslaved race. He is just the man to rally the whole force of the Repub lican party to Grant, and to make party lines close and well defined. — Commercial Advert iser. The work of the convention which adjourn ed yesterday is a failure. Its platform alone or its candidates alone ought to be sufficient to defeat the hopes of the party they repre sent. Doth are singularly weak, taken singly; and their union is most unfortunate for Doth, the platform and the candidates being so incongrous that each must weaken the other. — Ecciiing Post. The Amnesty Proclamation. The following Amnesty Proclamation has been issued by the President: WHEREAS, in the month of July,-Anno Domini, IX6I, in accepting the condition of civil war which was brought about by insur rcction and rebellion in several of the States which constitute the United States, the two Houses of Congress did solemnly declare that war was not waged on the part of the Government in any spirit of oppression, nor for any purpose of conqnest subjugation nor for any purpose of overthrowing "or in terfering with the rights or established in stitutions of the States, but only to defend and maintain the supremacy of the Con stitution of the United States, and to pre serve the Union with ail the dignity, equality and rights of the several States unimpaired, and that so soon as those objects should be accomplished the war on the part of the Government should cease; and WHEREAS, The President of the United States has heretofore, in the spirit of that declaration, and with the view of securing for it ultimate and complete effect, set forth several proclamations offering amnesty and pardon to persons who had been or were concerned in tho aforenamed rebellion, which proclamations, however, were atten ded with prudential reservations and excep tions then deemed necessary and proper, and which proclamations were respectively issued on the eighth day of December, 1X63 on the twenty-sixth day of March, ISG4, on the twenty-ninth day of May, 1866, and on the seventh day of September. 1X67; and WHEREAS, The said lamentable civil war has long since altogether ceased, with an acknowledgment by all the States of tho supremacy of the Federal Constitution, and of the Government thereunder; and there no longer exists any reasonable ground to apprehend a renewal of the said civil war, or any foreign interference, or any unlawful resistance by any portion of tho people of any of tho States to the Constitution and laws of the United States; and WHEREAS, It is desirable to reduce the standing ariqy, and to bring to a speedy tor initiation military occupation, martial law, military tribunals, abridgment of tlie free dom of speech and of the ptesg, and tit-pen sion of the privilege of babea* i-orpwq and of the right of trial by jury— y virtue of the Constitution, and in the name of the people of the United States, hereby proclaim and declare, uncon ditionaily and without re.vrvatio.it to'all aud to every person who directly or indi rectly partieij ated in the late insurrection or rebellion, excepting such person or per sons as may be under presentment or indict ment in any court of the United States, having competent jurisdiction, upon a charge of treason or other felony, a fall par don and amnesty for the offence of treason against the United State?, or of adhering to their enemies during the late civil war, with restoration of all rights of property except also, as to any property of which any per son may have been legally divested under the laws of the United States.

By the President: V.'M. 11. SEWARD. Secretary ( 'State. What is a Tariff! While the subject is 1 - fore Caujress it may be well to answer this question in as plain n manner as possible, so that the most illiterate may understand it. A tariff is a law which imposes a lax up u goods, wares, merchandi o and c mniodi ties, being the products of foreign coun tries, which are brought or sent into this country for consumption. These taxes or duties arc collected by officers of the G >v ernmcnt, at the port or \ ! ee of entry, by making all the goods pa s through custom houses, where they are examined, valued and retained until the charges are paid. So ancient is this practice, and . o generally has it been used by all Governments and in every country, that it l.a.s obtain, 1 i the name of custom, and the dues ejected are called customs. For the support of government large r< venues arc needed, aud it has been found that a tarda is the ca-n-l and least expensive, and a'so the 1, -t burdensome way of obtaining su; plies. A law of this nature, framed only for the purpose of obtaining sue';, a supply, and nothing more, is a tariff . r reveu; and if revenues arc not obtain •! in this way they must generally be raised from tsxe imi.o-ed directly upon the people. It haiipens, however, that citizens of a country are obliged in many ways to rend r f-ervi' s and make contributions, if no; directly for the support of theGovermi at. tin a for the benefit of society, which is tax uj on their industry, and increa- t' co.-tof its products above that of so: similar foreign commodity. It also ha;.y n that u particular industry introduced in a country may have the effect, if successful, of making valuable its coal, ore-. i other useful material; or compete with and eventually cheapen th ptiecof animr-rrted j article; or contribute something essential to the national defence aud independence; or tend to .-u-tain and render profitable other important industries. Vet when mvvly attemptcd its product cannot find a market because of the lower co t of a rimiiar j commodity of fort Lit manufacture. It. such cases, to place the foreign goods upon the same looting with respect to tax - as the domestic, or to foster the infancy of an important and promisirv industry, an additional duty above what will produo revenue is imposed upon the fi,reign commodity, aud f/ius m and is becoming uHire self reliant. It may now be regarded us a fact pretty well settled that the negro will prosper if properly trat ed. "The colored population of Arkansas is about one-third of the whole population of the State. Before the war the aggregate was something over live hundred thousand. It holds its own since the war. The regis tered eolotcd vote was more than one-third. Some of the whites were disfranchised. "The laws already blocked out by the Legislature are good in themselves, and should give general satisfaction, and nrob i lily will, when the people are familiarized with their practical workings. The princi pal dissatisfaction, however, comes from that class who have held office for a long time, and it is not to bo expected -uch wiil feci r-atisfieJ. "The old legislation of the State was . ruinous to every intere.-t of the State, especially the educational interests thereof —school feuds and school lands were wasted —laud grants squandered. Legislation was , too much in the hands of lawyers, and the people have got to think that any change would be an improvement. The negroes understand pretty well how to vet; for their own interest: very few are h.l off or decoiv cd in the matter of voting. The Dome • rat io party expected to control the'late colored vote, but signally failed. "From all I ci-.n learn, if the question of returning the colored people to slavery were uhmittc 1 to a vote of the State, it would fail by-an overwhelming majority—and this, doubtless, is the case generally throughout the South. Some politicians would vote them hack, but not the people. The negroes , would, perhaps, fall back into idleness if left to themselves:-tli<- labors of the Bureau have i sen of incalculable good in this regard." Death of Samuel I,over, the Irish. ■Sou !i-t. A cable despatch announces the death of : Samuel Lover, the well-known Irish novel j ist, artist, song-writer and leetui r, at the i age of seventy one.

A GOMMEIU IAI, VIEW OF THE CROPS.— ' The Cincinnati J'rur Current of the Ist in stant thus speak.- of the wheat harvest and i other crop-: Wheat has been harvi sted j reity gem .ally | in all the States south of the Ohio river, • and also in the southern portion of Illinois. The yield is not very heavy, but the quality .- •■i. -rally highly spoken of. Iu portion of Indiana the wi evil has done considerable I damage, but this do-s not extend over a large district. The accounts from the cut i e 1 1 uion, with an exception lu re and there, s regard-the eiops, are generally favorable, more generally so than bus b-.--.-n the ease for j : many years. The indications of an abun dant corn crop are quite favorable, an i shouldtbi- be theci-e a ici'i; increase in 1 the pork crop may be looked for the coming : - a -on, because the supply of.-iock hogs will be unu-ua:!y large, for not only wa, the, supply leftover from last season large,, far mers not having fatted them because of the high price of corn and the comparative low price of pork, but the increase since then has ; en liberal, so that the on rub- r rmw in th > Western States, it will bo seen must be j unusually large.

PRIME MINISTKR BECST has written a sharp note in reply to the lecent Allocution on the stale of religion in Austria. He says the in termeddling of the Pope with tho domestic legislation of Austria is a violation of the in dependence and dignity of the Empire. Tin: differences which divide the Repub lican party in Philadelphia, on the subject of District Attorney, are about to be ad justed by the withdrawal of both Mann and Hszlehnrst, and the nomination of a new man. This is Bensible. ROTH the Senators from Florida have taken their seat in the U. S. Senate; and, horrible to relate, they sit on the Republican side ! The new Representative Joes the same thing in the House. That's what's the matter with ' Congressional Reconstruction! Gov. Gmax has been strongly urged to call an extra session of the Legislature lor the purpose of making a new registry law. The Governor is opposed to the measure, considering that it would have the appear ance of having been enacted in a partisan spirit. JOHNSOS'S proclamation of general Am -1 m sty, issued on the 4th inst., pardons every [ Rebel except JKPK. DAVIS. BRF.CKIXRUMJK, who has recently returned to Canada, may now be able to participate in the Presidentiol campaign—of course on the Rebel side. | Tin: Cincinnati Gazrite says: The wheat ' harvest is progressing rapidly in the West. In many places it is over, and generally it is drawing to a close. We have no new devi l ■' opments as to the result. The reports, with j a few exceptions, confirm previous advices. ■ Wc may now safely say a good crop of wheal has been secured —good in quality and good j in quantity. TUB coalition between the Democratic party aud the Blair family is one of the most ; remarkabb- political movements of the age. Blair brings to the support of his new friends probably three votes: his own. aud his fatlu r and brother's. If ever he has an opportunity to do so he will betray and tell out his new ; found friends. lie is a political renegade, | who has not the respect or confidence of a | single man in the nation. JnxtK JAMES and his assistants have at last, i after much labor, succeeded in revising, sim plifying and arranging the military laws of the United States. The law of patents nnd copyrights has also been condensed. We ; shall hail the day with pleasure when the work of codification has fairly been achiev jcd in Pennsylvania. It would be difficult to ; find in any State of the Union such a jumble as our statutes present. They area formida ble perplexity to lawyers, and an absolute ter- : ror to unpnofc -ional people who have occas ion t<> examine them. 7 itt; Republican State Convention of New 7 ork met at Syracuse on Wednesday of last, week and nominated lion. John A.Gris v old, of Troy, for Governor. The vote ! stood Griswold -47, —Horace Greeley !)f>, and 30 Scattering. Mr. Gri.-wold is one of ; the most popular men iu the S ate, and his nomination will secure the success of the ticket, and ensure Seymour's defeat for ■ President in his own State. I FROM MAIHUHWO learn that Generals Dul. O and Serrano, with live other officers of equal rank, were placed under arrest a lew days since, charged with conspiring with other well known military men to revolutionize the government and place the Duke do Mout ; ensiea, brother-in law of the Queen, on ths thrcne. The royal duke has been "request j ed" to leave the country. It is said that the "intrigue" has been effectually baffled by ... ; i mpt action of Isabella's Cabinet. THK nomination of Sovmor and Blair fulls like a wet blanket upon the Democracy of Kansas. The rtate Journal, which was i supposed to look favorably on t lie ('n a- ■ movement on the basis of equal suffrage to every citizen of tho Republic, black and white. party has deliberately committed suicide, preferring death to life, choosing the shroud \ and the grave, rather than regeneration and j the new birth. I t:t: bill relative to counting the electoral I votes, pssed the Senate at a late hour Inst evening. It is as follows: lie it enacted. Ac: That none of the States whose inhabitants were i.itcly in rebellion, and which States are not now represented in Congress, shall b entitled to representation in the Electoral College for the choice of President and Vice President of the Uuited State . nor shall any electoral votes be received or counted from any such States unless at the time prescribed by law for choice of electors the people of such States, pursuant to act of Congress in that behalf, shall have since the lth of March, lst'i7, adopted a Constitution of Stale govern ment under which the State governmentshall have been organized and shall bo in opera tion, and unless such election of electors shall have been held under authority of such con stitution and government, and such State shall have also become entitled do represen tation in Congress pursuant to acts of Con gress in that behalf.

The advantages claimed for this pump overall i other patent pumps are as follows, viz: The valves, i instead of being gam, as is the case in most pumps, i are enmp< -? d entirely of cast iron, rendering it the most durable of any pump yet parented. There Ls no packing about it, consequently it can not get out of order. This pa top is >o constructed hat it never freezes, the water dropping, the mo ment you stop pumping, back to the level with I the wafer in the well. It is simply constructed, durable and cheap. It will force water arty dis tance. It is easily worked, and can be used, by attaching hose, in washing wagons, horses, wat oriug gardens, and in case of fire is of valuable service, as water may be thrown to the distance of from sixty to seventy feet in the air from it by tho use of a small section of hose.

Now here is what the Farmer and tl:re-hern:au wants, a Separator to go from farm so farm, to : thrafh grain, with more fatifaction than any 1 other separator now inure, and why is it? i I cause this separator La- a -elf regulating Bla-t. j which prevents grain from blowing late the -huff! ! and also ha- a-elf regulating feeder o fccu t. ■ j cleaner and it has rollers and comb.-i the clean er which prevents it from choaking. TS hv does this Oiacltiitegun so light, and give so little tr >u | ble? Be-aus c%l IS* U-SB friction in the .fonr. nal.-, and riTke? fan are geared so thai you nuve no treble with Belt^breaking and j cau ing dust to fall into the whefh. Why d>e* it o.ean agaiii.st the wind? Bc<*au.-c the bla.-i. h;i> i direct action on the £rain and toe cleaner weil arranged that the wind ba.- no rhanee to : drive the dirt InUi the hopper. Why ig it built | peruiiknently on two whevl- and the front car j ready to attach when ne ; - Becaose it is more C 4 i; renicnt in the barn without the front carriage. You can turn the machine or run it from place to place ni'-re easily. Wuy has it not got Elevators like some other machine.' Because the Elevators carry the fifth back alter nately into the cleaner which must eventually /. : into the good wheat or in the chaff, ami all know, ! that filib should be kept separate for feed. A j we might as well keep shoveling the failing., j from under our haul fun into the hopper ;*rl ox ! pect to get the grain clean. Why is this separa tor more cleaner and satisfaeiMrv to work about than others Beoause the Fan and Trunk Si it are closed up t" prevent the wheat chaff and dust from coming out and . over the fir, causing waist an i giving much trouble with dirt and sore eyes, Ac. Why do Thresbermen get more work with these separators than they do with others ' Be- aase this separator has all ihc-e advantage? and many more, whieh makes it a separator suitable and a prying one for all iariuers and Thrashcrmcn that have grain t i thrash, whilst in most cases farmers must suit j themselves to the machine, because tho machine ; will not suit itself to the farmer. In short, thi.- j is the cheapest, most durable, reliably, simple and j most agreeable to work about and the only scpar j at or that will clean and bag the grain sufficiently i clean for market under all circumstances. Farmers can r<--1 assured that this machine is j no humbug, and judging from the high rcc a • mendation of farmer. l - tiiat are using them, we mu * come to the conclusion that it is the very 1 Machine that farmers want and will have a* t a as they have an opportunity to apprei .to and attest its merits, for whivhwe hope they will give • us an opportunity, as we are willing : bo rcsj :i --sible if it docs cot perform as represented in this Circular.
