Great Piano Manufactory of Messrs. Wit.
Knauk k I o. , of Baltimore.
This factory is 11 w una of the largest in
the world ; it is a magnificent five story
structure, fionting an entire block on Eufaw
st., and covering, together with the Lumber
Y .rds ittaj!i :d, soais tw and one haif acres
of ground. Three hundred and fifty men
are constantly employed turning out over
forty instruments per week.
The Kuabe Plain has by its superiority
n-t on'y well nigh driven thosj of Northern
iiianufacttire from the hotna market, but
also enjoys a large sale in New York, Pht'a
delphia and throughout the entire North
nn 1 West, besides their largely increased
Southern trade.
The most talented mnMciam of the day,
both amateur an 1 profe.innl, testify to
tlii ir siipiiority. and wherever exhibited
they have nver failed to carry olFthe high
est awards over all competition, having
received no less than f.i first premiums.
During the last season they were used simul
t.incou.'ly by the most distinguished artists
at the Optra Houses in Baltimore, Phila
delphia New Yoik, Brooklyn. Chi.igo. See.
There is certainly no instrument made, more
durable than the K.NABE Piano, none but
the best wurkmen beinc employed and only
the very best of materials used.

And WilEitEAS. The L-gislature of this
Commonwealth on the 6th day of April,
1ST0, passed an act entitled "A further sup
plt meut to the act relating to elections in
this Commonwealth." the tenth -section of
whiMi provides as f .'lows :
Sec. 10. That bo nuch of every act of
Assembly as pruttiea that only white free
men shall be entitled to vote or bo regi-stcred
as voters, or as claiming to vote at any gene
ral rr special election ot this commonwealth,
be an 3 the same is hereby reoealed j and

plemental to the act relative to the elections
of this Commonwealth." nd shall, when
otherwise qualified under existing laws, be
entitled lo vote at all general and special
elections in this Commonwealth."
And Whereas, It is my curst it niinnal
and oliicia! dutv "to take etire that laws be
i'aithiul v executed ;" and it has come to my
knowledge that sundry assessors aud regis
ters of voters have refused and are refusing
to ascess and register divers colored male
ci'izens of lawful age, and otherwise quali
fied as electors :
Xoic therefore, in considerations of the
premi.se-', the County Commissioners of said
county are hereby notified and directed to
instruct the several Assessors a tid Registers
of voters thereof to obey and conform to the
requirements of said constitutional amend
ments nd laws ; and the Sheriff of said,
county is hcrehv authorized and required to,
