the . principle 01 Government which
yaided oar fathers in the fonndation of th
Republic. Tbe spirit and doctrine- of the
two fir si volumes wll be fully maintained
in the .third volame. We have no corn pro
mise! to make with errorno parley with
despotism.; Democracy will be treated,
not as a varying policy of connicg office-
Seekers and spoil hunters, but rather as an
abiding principle of political economy and
of popular liberty. All supporters of thin
revolutionizing, Abolition .war, will be held
.as the enemies of the. Democracy. We
'hall acknowledge no organization to be
Deraocratie'whicbdoe not honestly enun
ciate and support the principles ot ihe
'Kentucky aad Virginia Resolutions of 1798
and the Dred Scott Decision of the Su
preme Court, the one assserting State Sov
ereignty and the other While supremacy. To
preserve these honorable doctrines, the
Democratic party was organized the
very loundersof the Federal Government,
andjit remained true to them down to the
fatal and dishonoring departure, at the
commencement of this war. The Old

TI1E SINGER SEWING MACHINES.
OUR Letter A Family Sewing Machine. is
fast gaining a world-wide reputation. It
is beyond doubt the best and cheapest and
most beaotitul of ail family Sewing Ma
chines yet offered to the public. No other
Family Sewing Machine has so many use
ful appliances for Hemming, Binding, Fell
ing, Tucking, Gathering Guaging, Braiding
Embroidering, Cording, and so forth. ,No
other Family Sewing Machine has so much
capacity lor a great variety of work. It will
sew all kinds ot cloth, and with, all Kinus ol
thread. Great and recent improvements
.tiake onr Family Sewing Machine most
reliable, and most durable, and most cer
tain in action at all rates of speed. It
makes the interlocked stitch, which is the
best stitch known. Any one, even of the
most 'ordinary capacity,can see, at a glance
how to ftse tbe letter A family Sewing
Machine. Our Family Sewing' Machine
are finished in chaste and exquisite style.
The Folding Case of the Family Ma
chine is a piece of cunning workmanship
of the most useful kind. It protects the ma
chine when not in use, and when about to
be operated may be opened as a spacious
and substantial table to sustain the work.
Whi'le some of the Cases, made out of the
choicest woods, are fiuifhed in the. sim
plest aud chastest manner possible, others
are adorned and embelished in the mofct
cosily and superb manner.
It is absolutely necessary to see the Fam
ily'Machine in operation,' so as lo judge of
its great capacity and beauty.
It is fast becoming as popular for family
sewing as our Manufacturing machines are
for manufacturing purposes.
The Branch Offices are well supplied with
silk twist, thread, needles, oil, etc., of the
very best quality.
