THE SNEAK'S ROLL!—THE ACTS OF CON (WO THE SUPREME LAWS OF THE LAND—DESERTERS AND sKEDARDLERS DISFRANCHISED BY CONGRESSIONAL LEGISLATION—S2OO FINE FOR TAKING SUCH VOTES—EVERY ELECTION BOARD WHICH RECEIVES THE VOTE OF A DE SERTER LIABLE TO PROSECUTION. In the speech of the editor of this journal in the Fifth ward, on Wednesday evening, he read from the columns of the Doyles town Democrat, of Tuesday last, an article in favor of allowing the deserters and bounty-jumpers to vote at the coming elec tion, written and published by Colonel W. IV. H. Davis, the candidate of the so called Democratic party, for the position of Auditor General of the State of Pennsyl vania. So earnest and so ippassiOned Was this man, who now asks the soldiers to vote for him, that the wretches and cowards, who not only deserted but sought to betray their country in her hour of extreme peril, and nullify the suffrages of such of the brave men as would not vote for him and his party on Tuesday next, that he even declared the act of Congress which banished them from the polls a nullity and called upon elec tion officers`to obey them at their peril. In the same number of Tun PRESS we directed the attention of the people to the fact that the Hon. OnAnime R. BITORALEW, Demo. crate Senator in Congress from Pennsyl vania, and once more preparing to assume the lead of that party, had written a strong legal opinion, taking precisely the same ground. In order that our readers and the public may 'Understand exactly how these professing friends of the soldier insult him, and at the same time to disregard the law of the land, we copy from the Harrisburg Telegraph,, of Tuesday; the following That there may be no mistake on the subject of the disfranchisement of all deserters and sitedaddlers, we preserit the Cltt section of the act of Congress, approved March 3,1555, which provides emphatically and distinctly as fol lows SEC. 21. And be it further enacted, That in ad dition to the other lawful penalties of the crime of desertion from the military and na val service, all persons who have deserted the military or naval service of the - United States, who shall not return to said service or report themselves to a provost marshal within sixty; days after the proclamation hereinafter Men tioned, shall be deemed and taken to have volunta rily relinqvished and forfeited their rights of citi zenship, and their rights to become citizens; and such deserters shalt be forever incapable of hold ing any elites of trust or profit under the United Stales, or of exercising any rights of citizens there of; and all persons who shall hereafter de sert the military or naval service, and all persons who being duly enrolled, shall depart the jurisdiction of the district in which he is enrolled, or go beyond the limits of the United States, With intent to avoid any draft into the military or naval service, duly , ordered, shall be liable to the penalties of this section. And the President is hereby , authorized and re quired forthwith, on the passage of this act, to issue his proclamation setting forth the pro visions of this section, in which proclamation the President is requested to notify all deser ters returning within sixty days as aforesaid, that they shnu peronned nnnintitio.of returning to their regimentil anu companies or such other organizations as they maybe assigned toonitii they have served for a period of time equal to their original term of enlist ment. On the 11th Of March, 1865, in obedience to the provisions of the section of the law q noted above, the President of the United States is sued his proclamation " ordering and requiring , SIl ' deserters to return to their posts, or to re port themselves to provost marshals for duty, on or before the 11th day of May, 1865. That proclamation and the act of Congress upon which it Wee based, were published in all the authorized newspapers of the Sixteenth dis trict. Thus all parties interested had full knowledge of their rights, and ample warning of the penalty that would ensue in ease they nt , eseeted to avail themselves of the privilege of rePow-4ng on or before the 11th day of May, 1865. In order to = that the laws of the State [nose ea aELTI define duty of election Stand to - quote the lead section of T li c , in this sub further ject, we ZVeral election act of Pennsylvania, " 2d, 1839, appro" which declares that nlf any inspector or judge of an elostk n shall knowingly reject the vote of any tluszi. fled citizen, or knowingly receive the vote of any person not qualified, or conceal from his fellow. /Men any foci in the knowtedge of whfch such vote should by law be received or rejected, each of the persons so offending shall, on conviction, be punished in the , manner prescribed in the 107th section of this act)' A.4d on referring to the penalty in the 107th section, it says that each each person eon= cerned therein shall, on conviction thereof, be fined in any sum not less than fifty nor more than two hundred dollars." We now leave the subject in the hands of the proper antborities. Every election officer has his duty clearly defined—there can be no mistaking the penalties attached to a viola, tion of such duty—and we desire it to be dis tinctly understood, that every judge and inspector who violates the law disfranchising deserters, will be prosecuted to the full extent of that law! It will be seen that the laws of Congress, which Colonel DAVIS and Senator BUCKA LEW propose to set at defiance not only disfranchise the native-horn miscreant who flies from his flag, and receives the bounty of his Government only to strike more fatally at it, but it prevents the unuatu ralized foreigner from ever hereafter be coming a citizen of the United States. The punishment is so just that when it was in flicted by the national legislature, it was applauded from one end of the loyal States to the other_ PROTECT THE DESERTERS, Bin PROSCRIBE THE COLORED BOLDED. In the fierce war of the Democratic leaders against the colored men who have fought for the country, they insist that they, are encourage& by the bitter prejudice of the white against the black soldiers. Even if we admit that this excuse has some plausibility, we think we may successfully ask the men with while skins, who have stood side by side with Their sable brethren in many a hot and desperate fray, whether there is any comparison between what may be an-dionest prejudice against the negro, and what is unquestionably thoir intense and unspeakable horror of the deserter? He who goes out from his com- fortable home impelled alone by a de sire to serve his country, and by a con sciousness that he is doing God-service, whatever his conscientious antagonism may be to the rebellion and to the men against whom he is called to fight, can scarcely find words to give force to his deep and uncon querable aversion for the man whO retained at home enjoying the protection his bravery secured to them, and yet embar rassed the Government under which he' served, and assist the enemy against whom he contended. But even this feeling, ex cessive as it is, is again excelled by that he entertains to the deserter and the bounty jumper, to the wretch who receives the money of the Government, flies to some secret and distant spot to enjoy it, re turns to perpetrate the same infamy, and runs away again to flourish upon his guilty wages. Now, this class of re creants was a chief Copperhead instru mentality during four years of war. They were the authors and inciters of every po pular tumult. Many who did not fly to escape the draft, remained in populous districts to resist it. We need only call the attention of the general reader to the numerous tragic conflicts between the pro vost marshals' forces and these rough and cruel men, ana to more than one case of downright, deliberate murder, to revive the recollection of a period when the teachings of the Democratic party blos somed in blood and ripened in death. It cannot be denied that all these outrages and tragedies were the direct result of the doctrines taught by the men who are now calling on the people of Pennsylvania. to vote down the Union ticket at tha coining ,election. But what will .be the surprise and indig nation of the brave white soldier, after having listened to the vile tirdde against the black soldier only because of his color, and after having allowed himself to sym pathize with a prejudice unworthy of his courage and his intellect, when the Demo cratic leaders of this State demand that these deserters and bounty-jumpers, who have justly been disfranchized for their treachery and cowardice by a solemn act of Congress, shall be permitted to vote at the coming election, and that the election officers who refuse to take their ballots shall be prosecuted and punished ? Re garded in the light of paying off an obliga tion, or in other worda, of fulfiling a pledge solemnly made, these leaders may claim that they cannot avoid standing by the men whom they have taught to do wrong, and that having forced them to criminal courses by their scandalous conduct and persistent invocations, and having protected them from the penalties of the law which they violated, they must now insure to them a political equality at the ballot-boxes. But this, however satisfactory to them, is a gross insult to our noble veterans. It is, indeed, suggestive to see with what zeal and affection the Democratic, leaders pro tect, defend, excuse, and insist upon. the honorable recognition of the base and cha racterless wretch who doubly betrayed his country in the hour of trial—who enlisted under her colors, took her bounties, fled from her territories, and rejoiced over the victories of her murderous assailants. Mark then their fiendish hate and proscription of the brave black man, who, in spite of the fact that he is socially and politically ostra cised, remained true to the flag of freedom, and in nanny cases died, that the Govern ment—under which he and his fathers were aliens and outcasts might live. Let the gallant liktion soldier, the intelligent and loyal American, the humane and philan thropic man, wherever found, behold and reflect upon the overwhelming contrast. THERE ARE traders in Virginia gifted with as little brains, or brains of so poor an essence, as to believe that the Government was not entirely in earnest when it emanci pated the blacks, and that after awhile the owners will be paid for property whisked away fern them in a tempest of fire and death. The traders have enough money to let on their belief, and are actually " buy ing up" freedmen. The policy of Chicago produce speculators is imitated. There is no actual property visible in the transac tions ; the master simply states the number of slaves he once had, and ten dollars in gold each are given for the evidences of possession by the astute " firm." Where the firm gets its money, what ground it has for its funny delusion, nobody knows, and the sellers do not care. The Riehmond Times, which vouches for these facts, says that there is a trader of this kind in Petersburg " who has plenty of gold and plenty of customers." We should think be had, and he might have more if he would announce his desire to buy ttj Confederate bonds, Treasury notes, etc., at one-ninety-ninth of a cent per hundred dollars. North Corolina could realize out of her debt of $16,000,000 at least $161,6143, which, divided among the 7,632 Confede rate holders of her debt and 48 English capitalists, would give them about $2O apiece, which they will readily admit is about all the Confederacy was worth to those who financially supported it. Credi tors of other States could be also madeun expectedly. lucky. We know a great many who have Confederate notes by, the peck, worth perhaps twenty cents to old paper dealers, but under this arrangement they could realize about a dollar.

[Special Correspondence of The Press.) IlartitiSnußO, October 5,1856. The Soldiers' Convention adjourned yester day afternoon, and the majority . of the dele. gates loft last evening andothis morning for their homes. The proceedings of this patriotic body have created much rejoicing in this sec tion, and when their admirable resolutions anti address have been perused by the soldiers generally throughout the State, such a degree of enthusiasm will be kindled as will appal the Copperheads, and make victory on Tuesday next a certainty throughout the Common , wealth. The inscribing of the names of battle fields upon their standards was always a source of pride with our brave veterans, and now that by their repeated -successes with sword, sabre and musket, they are enabled to return to their firesides to combat with ballots the foes which during four years of struggle kept up a continuous and cowardly fire in their rear, nothing Will gratify them more than to contend against those most dastardly of all enemies, and to add to the glittering in scriptions upon their banners—" Pennsylva. nia, October 10,1865." It is unnecessary here to refer particularly to the resolutions and ad dress so unanimously adopted by the conven tion. They are before the public, and will be read attentively by every returned soldier; but what the result will be of the deliberations of these mutilated remains of once glorious manhood will be apparent on the day after election. The following letter was today received by Gen. Collis from Gen. Gregg: BSIDCSrOBT, Montgomery County, Pa.. October 4, 1865. General a it. T. Collis Dual, Cut: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of September 26, which only reached me yesterday. With this short notice, I am unable to arrange my business so as to be at liberty to meet the discharged officers of Pennsyl- Van% in convention at Harrisburg today. The nominees of the Union party are BO deserving the support of their brother officers that I would gladly have gone to Harrisburg, for the purposes mentioned in your letter,but for the shortness of my notice. • Respectfully, yours D. . M. OP.EG.G. In walking through the streets Of Harris burg your correspondent sees many changes and alterations indicative of the preparations being made for the coming session of the Legis lature, The representatives of almost every trade are busily engaged; and while the.nume rous boarding-houses are being renovated, the hotels—State Capital. Buehler's, Jones' house, and Brady's—are either being enlarged or are undergoing that cleansing process which is annually deemed necessary. The United States is not behind its rivals in preparations, while the proprietor of that well-known hostelrie has bought out the Lochiel with all its super rior furniture and appointments. Adams' Ex press Company have erected a new and hand scone ofElee i i the post office has been removed to a more convenient localAy and more suit able building; and even the store-keepers have recognized the importance of an attrac tive exterior to their places of billineSS, At the Capitol, however, the most important transformations are to be noticed, and even the oldest members will find difficulty in re cognizing the exact localities in which they have heretofore taken their seats. In the Senate the inner lobby, or "reserved seats" as they might more properly be termed, have been removed, and hereafter the ladies will be escorted] to the open space, will& bas been greatly extended in the rear of the Senators' , seats. A new carpet will adorn the floor, and the messenger's room will be so transmogrified that the old resort will not be recognized. In the House a large body of workmen are engaged. The desks have had their positions changed, and the lobbies have been made more comfort able by being widened, and supplied with Com_ fortable resting-places in lieu of the hard and ungainly-looking benches, which have heretofore afforded solace to the patient borer and visitor. New carpets will also be pro vided; the Speaker's and clerk's desks have been elevated, and removed several feet further back ; the transcribing clerks are to be removed from their limited quarters to the new building ; and. the unsightly enclosed desk or chair, from which issued the ser geant-at-arms to announce the advent of the Secretary of State or clerk of the Senate, will give place to an improvement more in conso nance with the handsome appearance of the body of the House. Plasterers and carpenters are at work upon the addition to the capitol buildings, and there is now no doubt but that the new rooms will be react for occupancy by the first of January ; The first floor of the addition will be used for speakers, clerks, and committee rooms, while the second will be so arranged as to display to umes which now fill the limited space occu-. pied by the State .Library, at the same time affording an opportunity to bring *lowa from their present dusty shelves the valuable books kept from public view in the loft above the Senate Chamber. In the executive building the visitor cannot fail to be pleased with the changes. A general appearance of cleanli ness and neatness marks the entire structure, a creditable condition which is not lessened by the fact that the old and welbworn carpets which, last winter, covered the floors of the rooms of the Governor and Secretary of State, have been supplanted by others more beauti. ful and more appropriate to such oft-frequent. ed public offices. J. it. D. The Importance of the Approaching State Election—The Derimerats at Work, but a Union Victory Certain— The Opposition and the Negro—The Contest for Senator in the Several Diserieth—GoFeFßOr Curtin. (Special. Correspondence of. The Press.] HAnniaßrite, October 3, 1565. In one week from to-day the people of Penn sylvania will be summoned to cast their votes on issues involving their military reputation, their present political status, and their future commercial, mechanical and agricultural pro sperity. At no time within tile past twenty , five, years have the vital interests of the State been so closely interwoven in the issues of an election, and from what I can gather through aonreee of UntilleatiOnabiO authority, I am free to confess my conviction that, considering, the momentous importance of the contest, I have never known the massbf the people so disregardful as to how the result May end. It is a notorious fact that the Democratic lea ders are to-day more active than ever, and are working with a zeal only equalled by Voir in tense hatred of their opponents to secure their overthrow. But notwithstanding, from what I can learn, I am convinced that even without the complete organization, so desirable among Union men, there will be achieved on Tuesday next one of the most brilliant Union victories ever won in Pennsylvania. In their anxiety for success, the Copperhead leaders are over reaching themselves. For instance, in the strong Democratic counties—hi such nests of treason as Northampton,'Berks,blonroe, York, and other regions notorious for their growth of political ignorance—the Copperhead lead ers are making the issue entirely on the negro• As an illustration of this assertion, lam told that Mester Clymer, in Berlis county, works entirely on the negro question, and has man aged to make the unsophisticated Dutch De mocracy of "Ault Barks" believe that a Re publican triumph would result alone in the elevation of the negro—an elevation confer ring on the negyo the elective franchise, and quell other social Privileges as would at once constitute the African rue - equal 'in an. respects 'Of the - most treason-tinctured Democrat in the Commonwealth. While Mester Clymer thus conducts the campaign in Barks county, Isaac.. G. Hiester (another renegade Wisig) perambulates Lancaster county haranging the people, insisting that the Democratic organization, as it now exists, is alone capable and certainly destined to give the support necessary to the success of Presi dent Johnson's Administration. The political' situation, as it is controlled by the Democratic leaders, and as I have described it in Berke and Lancaster counties, is the same all over the Commonwealth. The cohesive power of hatred to the negro, and the multitude of false hoods which the Democratic leaders are capa ble of manufacturing from that hatred, con stitutes the influence by which they hope to centre], the masses in their strongholds. It would be dengereus for 'Mester Clymer to as sert that the Democratic partpor Berks coun ty is in favor of the Administration of Andrew Johnson. Such a declaration would result in the ostracism of bir. Clymer, simply because the Democracy in localities where they have the power to evince the pulsation, hate An drew Johnson hate what they regard as his deSertiOn of their old allies, the Southern trai tors; hate him because they feel that ho was just when he approved of the verdict order ing the execution of Mr. Lincedn's assassins. For these reasons the negro &institutes the main issue in every hopelessly Democratic county in the Commonwealth. In the great and impregnable Union counties the Demo_ cratie leaders are conducting the campaign on different tactics. Janus-faced, they .conceal the front they present in Copperhead regions, and offer to show a countenance in strong Union counties in favor of Andrew Johnson's Administration. The reader can easily per. ceive the trick the Copperheads have resorted to, calculeting, therewith to win a victory. But the good sense of the people of Pennsyl vania, and the frank discussion now being con ducted by Union men, will not fail to place the triumph where it justly belongs—on the side of the true supporters of the Government. My own impression 15 that the UniOn State ticket will be elected by a majority equal to that received by Governor Curtin, in 1563. I indulge in this belief not merely from a desire to see such a result accomplished, but from the encouragement afforded by facts derived from the observation of gentlemen on whose judgment I confidently rely. TIIS EISZIATOUIAL CONTEST. The contest for Senators in the several dis. tricts to elect this fall is a warm one in all re spects, and in one or two of the districts is distinguished by cross-tires which have a tend ency, thus far, greatly to embarrass, but which, it is hoped, will not affect the success of any of the Union candidates. In the Lull ana district General Harry White is making a splendid tight, and his friends confidently pre dict ilia success. A gentleman at my elbow, from Clearfield county, has just informed me that the. Hon. William A. Wallace, chair man of the State Central Committee, had THE PRESS.7I 3 HITADELPHIA, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1865: concocted a peculiar Plot of colonizing voters from Clearfield county to assist in the defeat of General White; but the Hon. Wallace's plans were suddenly frustrated by manifesta tions of disaffection among his own friends; so that it will require all the Democrats faithful to their treason and their candidates to remain in Clearfield to carry that county for Wallace and 'Boyer. In the Bradford senatorial district George Landon, the Union candidate, will undoubted ly be elected, notwithstanding the existence of disaffection in one of the counties of that district. Mr. Landon is a gentleman of great personal worth, and has already served one term in the Senate. The force of his personal character, combined with the prestige of the principle with which he is identified, will en sure him a splendid Vietolty. In the Armstrong district it. Audley Brown, the Union candidate, has a fair show of sue -6655, and is supported by toady Organization ) undisturbed by a single dissension. In conclusion, grant me a letring for the purpose of placing Andrew G. Curtin in his, proper position before the people of this Com monwealth. He is to-day absent from the State capital, at a time when his health is in a condition to justify his remaining in his cham ber in the Executive mansion, advocating and urging on the people of Pennsylvania those great political principles by which he has been a faithful champion for over twenty years. The effort to connect the name of Gov. Curtin with any disaffection in this county is re garded by honorable men here as more dis graceful than that disaffection itself. During a residence of almost eight years in Harris burg, first as Secretary of State under the roi lock administration, and now as Governor of the Commonwealth, Andrew G. Curtin, to the certain knowledge of the writer of this para. graph, hag carefully and courteously stood aloof from the personal animosities ex isting in the Republican organization of Dauphin. I allude to this with no desire to reflect on any individual member of apiity to which I glory in belonging, but I deem it due tO one who has ever been faithful to the trusts re -posed in him by that party, and who has never abrank from advocating all its great measures Of State and national policy, to disclaim for him any and all interference in the local poll_ tics of this or any county in the Commonwealth. Gov. Curtin has defended the organization of his party and upheld its regular candidates too long and too successfully to be, embroiled now in any difference provoked by mere local jealousies and hatreds existing between men far beneath his notice. If there are any con nected with the State Government in this city who have resolved to support independent candidates for local offices, they are beyond the influence of Governor Curtin, or they would be persuaded from their rash conduct. At all events, I desire, through the immensely extended circulation of The Press, to assure the people of this and other States, that Au -400'6. Curtin, and his friends, are standing n wow gas anization of the :Union party, supp~aeandidates, advocating its mea sures and thing all that honorable men can to secure its complete and overwhelming suc cess.

On next Tuesday the public will have to say, by their votes, who shall fill this very im portant office. One of the candidates, gr. William B. Mann, has acted six years as the deputy of William B. Reed, Esq., and haa,for the last nine, without any deputy, conducted as principal the pleas of the Commonwealth. The other candidate, Mr. Isaac Newton Brown, is a lawyer of ten years' experience inn very varied and active practice. Ile is a native of this city, the son of a house-carpenter, and has for a number of years past, by a straight forward and industrious course in his profes sion, gained many friends and an honorable living. From the age of twenty-two, when he commenced the practice of law, he has been the sole support of his widowed mother, and has, by his devotion to her and by his industry in his calling, proved himself to be as good a lawyer as he has been and is a dutiful son. Some years back he was drafted for military service, but, being the sole and only support of his mother, who had been a widow for thir teen years, and wholly dependent upon him, he was exempted under the law of Congress made for the protection of widows, her case falling clearly within it, as was expressed . e Wllttnal opinions or lips and Williain B. Mann, his opponent in the _present canvass. Nr. Brown is undoubtedly worthy of the office he seeks, and, should the public commit to him its trusts, they will be ably and honestly protected. will be stern and uncompro mising with crime ; though hewill bear malice to none, he will endeavor to have guilt punish ed for example sake, and thus discharge the duty he owes as well the office as the public. In this connection we publish the following editorial from the oSlaidcry Tangs: "DISTRIOT ATTORNEYSIIII%—in view of the importance of this office, and of the deep in terest the public should hove in its being filled by an able and honest incumbent, we feel our selves bound to return to this subject, and give our readers all the information we have obtained touching one of the candidates—Mr. I. Newton Brown. Dir. Brown is a native of this city ; a eon of a mechanic; received his literary and legal education here, and is well known to many of our merchants and citi zens. In point of natural ability he is the superior of his opponent ; for polite and literary attainments, at least his equal; whilst his name, as a professional man, is not only , free from censure, but so associated with all that is pure and high-toned as to present to the voters of this city a striking, and to him a favorable, contrast with his opponent. Abili ty in a prosecuting officer;Witllout honesty, is a bad feature of character. By it vice can be protected, the guilty liberated, justice cheat ed, the public robbed. By it revenge can be obtained, malice satisfied, and private motives furthered, to the detriment of innocence and the advancement of crime. A public prosecu tor should know no friend or enemy ; his hands must be free from bribe, his heart from cor ruption, giS course should oseatt bejust. Sworn to do ms duty, be should pre the offender, though the friend of his bosom, and defend the innocent, though pressed by power and wealth. Sucb, we think, should be the Dis trict Attorney. 110 w would Mr. Brown answer these requisites? If the past is a guarantee for the future, we feel warranted in saying that his ability and keen mode of conducting a cause will drag crime to view, though Ind in perjury, and protect inno cence, though assaulted from motives fathomed in the heart of its proseeutor. As to his opponent, we shall not say anything ourselves. Let the public be the judges. Has the merchant been protected in having brought to justice the burglar who has entered his store and rifled it of its wealth? Has the thief been brought to justice? Have those re sorts of crime to which those who are charged with the trusts of others are tempted, and where the earnings of the employed and em ployer are spent in illicit and extravagant gaming, been broken up? Have the receivers of stolen goods been punished? Row many of thejunk shops, where the product of thefts are received ? Look to our youthe, and examine the increasing depravity. What crowds our House of Refuge? 'The boy is tempted to theft in the facility of disposing of that which is stolen, whilst the receiver who is accessory, often goes unwhipt of justice, and is licensed in his trade to the ruin of the thrifty and the immorality of the young. This is as to low crime, Bow as to hi g hoffenders? Where are the robbers of banks and the receivers of the stolen property? Where is the robber of our government depository Boldness in urluic the fires {Piet standing of the criminal would seem to be its protection. To the public we say, that in the event of the election of I. Newton Brown, no such abuses will be known during his official career. Let the second Tuesday of October, aw.the clock strikes eight, toll the knell, the de...Ali-knell of treason to morals, and let it be the music, the sweet mu sic to raise the heart of virtue and encourage thrift in having a protector in an honest and unpretending officer,l.

The old machines (still claimed by their agents to be " the best") can make but one kind Of stitch ; are limited in their range of work ; have not tile reversible fees motion or a uniform self-regulating tension of thread; are all liable to skip stitches in sewing, and eatily get out of order, with many other vexatious annoyances which have been found out by experience. These defects have all been overcome by a liberal expenditure of capital in employing the ant mechanical ta lent ; and the Florence Sewing Machine Com pany are justly entitled to the honor and cre dit of producing the first family sewing ma chines overcoming all the faults Of the others. The most convincing argument that can be advanced in its favor, and which shows what confidence the company have in their :ma chines, is, that every machine is warranted to do all that is claimed for it, and to give entire satisfaction to the purchaser:. Seven thousand of them are not in use in this city, neither has two hundred thousand of them been sold ; but there are enough of them in use in Philadelphia, among our hest citizens, to attest its superiority over all others. No machine ever attained such universal public favor in so short a space of time. In deed, it may be said that the Florence' has stitched itself into universal public favor. The sales of the Florence now exceed that of any other machine in the market. These are plain facts that can be substantiated to the sa tisfaction of all by calling at the salesroom, 830 Chestnut street. No charge for instruction on the Florence, whether you wish to purchase or not. Obliging lady operators sent to the houses of purchasers, when desired, and every machine wakrantetl to give entire satisfaction or money returned.
