«Ob-o
Republicans Duty.
The action of the late Democratic Conven-
tion at Hartford, in nominating a clean
Douglas Electoral Ticket, and rejecting all
overtures for fusion with the Breckenridge or
Bell men, together with the harmonious and
enthusiastic action of the Republican Con-
vention, renders the result of the election
in this State in November a matter
of no doubt. Every one admits that Con-
necticut will cast its electoral vote for Lin-
coin and Hamlin. Some say the popular
vote will show a majority of 5,000, others in-
sist it will be ‘ 10,000, while some of our
Breckinridge friends are willing to allow us
15,000 majority. Either of these figures
will be sufficient for practical purposes, and
it depends upon the Republicansto say which
they will have.
But while we rejoice in these evident to-
kens of coming victory, and are glad to see
our opponents contending among themselves
as an indication of the decay and ultimate
extinction of pro-slavery Democracy,we warn
our friends against entertaining such confi-
dence as will lead to inactivity in the coming
campaign. When the citadel of the enemy
is about to fall, the blows should come faster
and with more force than ever. We owe _it
to the cause of Republicanism and the glori-
' ous principles we are maintaining to show in
the coming contest that Connecicut is heartily
Republican, and that she is so, not on account
of any dissension among the 1 Democratic
factions, but because a large majority of her
people sincerely love freedom and hate slave-
ry, and are determined that neither by the
straight of the Breekinridge creed, nor by the
sinuous but no less certaiuroad of the Doug-
las creed, shall slavery be established in the
territories of this country. Let the battle be
fought on our part with the same earnestness
asif all the opposing factions were united in
solid phalanx against us. Let every village
organize its club, and make the most energetic
measures for prosecuting the campaign with
vigor. Let the real issues be set before the
people. Let us see whether they, like Mr.
Douglas, “don’t care whether slavery is voted
up or voted down.”
If we are but faithful, we can sow the seed
in this season of comparative inactivity
among our opponents, when northern Demo-
crats are reflecting seriously upon their long
and shameful servitude to the slavery exten-
siouists of the South, and see that such servi-
tude is as destitute of profit as it is of honor,
seed which will hear such an abundant har-
vest as will make Connecticut in all future
elections as certain for the right as her New
England sisters. Surely the prize is worth
contending for. Let November show to all
the world that no combinations which can
possibly be made can defeat the Republicans
of Connecticut. When that is once proved
the tendency to commercial politics in Con-
necticut will very much dimish and men
will array themselves openly and frankly
with the Republican party and Freedom, or
with the surviving fragment of the Democrat-
ic pariy and Slavery. And the childish idea
that standing half way between freedom and
slavery, and having no settled principles of
political action, is either conservatiuc or re-
spectable, will cease to live, save' in the
minds of a few old gentlemen who live in the
past, and are oblivious to the fact that a great
battle for freedom has been going on for the
last ten years, and that the victory is at last
won.

From the Ear/ford Times.
THE DEMOCRATIC STATE CON-
VENTION.
The entire number of delegates to which all of the
towns are entitled, is four hundred and seventy two.
At the State Convention OII Wednesday, four limi-
dred votes were polled, and there were probably four
hundred and twenty-five members in the city. Of
these, we are satisfied that a majority were in favor
of some honorable arran ement to unite the entire
strength of the Democratic party at the present time,
when an actual division exists. But a portion of
the Doualas union members were managed out of
their prc erences.
A csucus of Douglas delegates was held on Tues-
day evening, and the order of roceedings was ar-
ranged to suit its managers. _ T cir programme was
developed early in the Convention, by hisses at what
they did not like, and stamping and cheers at what
pleased them. These demonstrations, or at least
the hissing parts, were unusual in a Democratic Cou-
vention .7 and the Hon. William D. Bishop well rc-
marked that he had worked too long and expended
too much time and money in the Democratic cause
to be hissed for expressinur an opinion in a Demo-
cratic Convention of whichdlc was a member.
_Onc of the earliest movements was to pack the
Committees, and in this work the Temporary Chair-
man secmed inclined to one side, without regard to
the other. In many cases he announced the appoint-
ment without calling for the noes. But when Fair-
fieid County presented the name of William D. Bish-
op as a member of the Committee on Resolutions, he
called for the noes, and waited and asked if it was
doubted, thus bringing the supporters of the pro-
gramme up to the work of opposing him. Out of the
entire delegation from Fairlield County, only five
members were opposed to a union. Mr. Bishop rep-
resented almost the unanimous voicc of his county
in the Convention. His county roposed him as a
representative of their views. Still the Chairman of
the Convention brought out the strength of the fierce
Douglas men, and on hearing their yell of “no,” de-
clared that Mr. Bishop‘s nomination was defeated.
This course was pursued With regard to no other
gentleman, and it was a marked case of insult to
himself and his county. ' One of “ the five"
was then nominated, we believe by a member
of another county, and was declared to be appoin-
ted, the friends of Mr. Bisho looking on in astou-
ishment at such a course ofvmdictivcness in a Con-
vention calling itself Democratic. Windham Coun-
ty, where there are few Democratic votes, and from
whence rarely comes a Democratic Representative to
the Legislature—a county that leads down our State
tickets, and defeats them year by year—~this county
came in on the resent occasion, solidly, for a “clean
Douglas ticket. ’ The Delegates from these dicta-
ted to old Fairfieid County, as to the representative
she should have on the Committee on Resolutions,
to express the opinions of the Democracy of Fair-
fieid County. It was one way to crush out the senti-
ments of the Democracy of a Democratic county—
but was unprecedented and an outrageous way.
After this, the Democratic members, to the num-
ber of one hundred and fifty, who wore disgusted at
tricks and management, seemed to be mere lockers
on. Most of them voted, when their names were
called,but they did not feel like taking a very active
part, among t ose whose prmcrple object. seemed to
be to insult them.Tlie various committees were pack-
ed solid according fo “the pro ramme."
It was announced on Tues ay evening that the
usage of the Democratic party in bringing forward
four of the candidates for Electors, by Congressional
District meetings of the Dclcoates present, would be
squelched out, and a new ogderjnstitiitetl. The ob-
ject of this was apparent. At least two of the four
Districts would have presented union candidates,
and this was not to be tolerated by the heavy Black
Republican counties, who never elect, but always
defeat our tickets. This part of the proornmino was
faithfully carried out. The establislici usage was
trampled under foot, and “two from a County" \vcrc
acked upon a Committee, to nominate the Ticket.
Viicii New Haven County was called, Mr. Gallagher
of New Haven was nominated. Then Mr. Croswell
of New Haven city was put on the same committee.
The “rural districts” of the County, being disposed
to a union. could Iiot be trusted. The packing was
riplcte. The Committee brough forth an “earnest
ouglas Ticket." .
Intermingled \vith ‘fthe programme” generally,
were resolutions to quiet the uneasy union Douglas
men. The wool was pulled over their eyes every
half hour (hiring the _day. They were lnunbnggcd
and deceived all the time: Mr. Poet of the Fourth
District, one of the priuci le. Inanagers,—Mr. Galla-
gher‘s substitute at the ational Convention, who
was not admitted to a seat by Gallagher of the Sec-
ond District,—-offercd a. resolution, which he had
shown to the members at various times from Tues-
day evening to Wednesday afternoon. It propoged a
basis for a union. The Douglas union men wanted
to vote for it, as it proposed that the Electoral vote
should be cast to defeat Lincoln, for any National
candidate who could defeat him. It was referred
(u the packed committee on Resolutions. . The Doug-
las union men thought this was all right. So when
Mr. Bisho i’s resolution provnlmg that a ticket be
formed of chains, Bree. inride, and Bell men, came
up, they votetf against It, declaring—sonic of them
so announcing to the COIIV‘CIllZlOli-jthat they should
vote against Mr. Bishop’s resolutlon, though they
were in favor of a union, With the View of supporting
Mr.Peet‘s. So Mr.Bishop’s resolution was ( efeated,
and the iiiiiou Douglas ineu very nonestl waited for
Mr. I’eet’s plan fora union. They ha been, time
and again, told that it was just the thing, and that it
Would go through. They are still waiung- that re-
markable Committee never having deemed it pru-
dent or proper to report it back to the Convui.
tion; and they Will not be ready to report under
at least four years: e patient, friends, now that
you have seen the lit joker, and know precisely
under what tliiuible it was placed.
When Mr. Bishop’s resolution was defeated, Mr.
Gallagher, who was walking the speaker‘s stand,
cried out, “Haven’t you got enough now .2".
The whole conduct of the Douglas majority was so
shaped as to insult the minority.
The proceedings were not conducted as Democrat-
ic friends conduct a wall regulated convention ; but
bitterness, insult and vnidictivcness, without any
desire or intention to harmonize or promote the wel-
fare of the party, seemed to prevail. .
A portion of the Douglas delegates, who smccrely
desired a fair union, were deceived and managed out
of their preferences. .
The established usage of the Democratic party was
crushed out. That usage demanded that two elect-
are at large, to represent the State as two Senators
in Congress represent it, should be selected by the
Convention at large ; and that _four electors, repre-
senting the CongressionalDistricts. as the four Rep-
resentatives of the State represent them In Congress,
should be selected by the members of the Congrcs-
sional districts. This plan represents the spirit of
the law on which the Electoral College la based, and
the Democratic organization, In order of the Demo-
cratic, must be based upon the principles of our gov-
ernment. But in this case, all those essential and
fundamental principles were wiped out, and stattci-
was substited, two members from a city being pack-
ed onto represent ii whole country—a. sort of "popu-
lar sovereignty” arrangement, unknown to our in-
stitutions. or to Democratic usages.
We publish the proceedings and the ticket presen
ted ; and we make this statement of facts as a duty
we owe to our readers, for it is due to them that the
real features ofthe convention be fairly laid before
them. III the hands of the people the matter rests,
Time will ferment and clear the political elements;
and we. predict that in one year‘s time, the Democ-
racy of Connecticut will see that which will satisfy
them of the great‘ errors that have been committed
in tho late Convention, aswell as of 1th}: unfortunate
tendency of Mr. Douglas’s coalitions with the bitter-
est opponents of the Democracy, whilst he :ul‘viscs
to a course that divides the friends andsnpporterp
of the old party in many and severely contested bat-
tles. A few short months will settle questions and
political movements that many true Democrats (lo
not now fully appreciate. In the meantime great in-
terest will attach to the discussion of principles and
the developments which are now to come before the
public.

A Committee of one from a Senatorial
District was appointed to report Resolutions,
viz: E. S. Cleveland of the lst District, with
E. M. Lees of the 10th; N. L. White of the
11th, and J. M. Carter of the 12th, H. Good
win of the 15th, \Vm. Cotliren of the 16th,
W. K. Peck of the 17th, &c., &c.
State Committee invited to take part in all
the proceedings of the Convention, except
voting. .
Mr. White called up his resolution raising
a campaign Committee to co-operatc with
State Committee; and took the stand and
supported his resolution as usual and proper
to strengthen the hands of the workers in
the campaign. It is no reflection on any-
body. It was done in 1848, and it is right to
do it now to help the State Committee, not
to censure them.
Mr. Cleveland spoke for the Resolution.—
Judge Kellogg Of Waterbury moved to add
an amendment providing that the Committee
should be subordinate to the State Committee.
J. R. Hawlcy cancurred in the amendment.
N. D. Sperry. Of'New Haven, Chairman
Of the State Committee, took the stand. He
had not intended to speak,but asa resolution
which ili‘lllS opinion tended to complicate
our work and not do any good, had been pre-
sented, and when it His stated that it had
been shown to the State Committee, it was
proper to state that it had never been shown
to him, and was never before the Committee.
If the Committee had not done it’s duty, cen-
sure it out and out. Don’t whip the devil
round the stump. Lust Spring the State
Committee called upon active workers to co-
ope ate with them, selecting men the best
calculated to do the work. The State was
saved by it. Will anybody contend that
multiplying committees help theparty. The
complaint now is that we have too many or-
ganizations. The committee knows the
force and reason of this resolution. If the
State Committee drafted the call wrong, lay
it to their heads. They examined the calls
of previous years, andflie call for the Nation-
al Convention, and endeavored to follow the
spirit of these calls. If you wish to censure
the Committee, do it out and out, and don’t
introduce a resolution to double the commit-
tee and embarass its action.
Mr. White, of Danbury,tliought the discus-
sion had taken a direction it ought not to.—
Tlic resolution ought to pass without one
word or slur to our excellent State Commit-
tee.
Mr. Hawlcy, of Hartford, wanted 'a frank
and‘lionest talk without quarrelling, and
made a pleasant little speech on the impor-
tance of sticking to the party name. He
desired as a peace offering and to harmonize
all brancheshthat the convention now say it
would be its preference to be :alled in all fu-
ture calls the Republican party, and then iii-
vite all others who sympathized with us to
come in with us. He appealed to Mr. Sperry,
to bury every cause of disafl‘ection on the
spot, and wipe out leCVCl‘, any miserable
divisions or jealousics which may exisl, by
saying that he would call the next state con-
vcntion as a Republican Convention, and
then he mightinv lie. all of God’s creation who
sympathized with Republicanism.
Mr. Sperry said he would repeat what he
snidbel'orc, that had the . thought that the
names of Lincoln and l- amlin were not sy-'
nonynious with Republicanism, the State
Committee would have addressed the call
of the Convention to the Republican party.
Mr. Hawlcy thanked him; and asked him
to say now, that he would :nll the next Cou—
vention as a. Republican one, promising liiiii,
iflic did so, to give him the best “ treat”tliat'
could be got up in New Haven.
Mr. Sperry said he would do it, and the
whole convention rose with a simultaneous
burst of applause. The only trouble of the
convention was buried, and amid the sen-
sation and enthusiasm of the moment a doz-
en men sprang to the floor with peace offer-
lugs.
Mr. W'liite asked leave to withdraw his res-
olution. It was granted, and the Chairman
fore it up.
Mr. Cleveland asked the Chairman to make
a similar disposition of his, but as it was
merely a verbal one, the Chairman could not
do it.
Mr. Hawlcy called for three cheers for the
Republican Party, and they were. given with
a will. He then called for and received the
same number of cheers for Lincoln and Ham-
lin, for all who sympathize with the Republi-
can Party, and for all the opponents of the
disunion Democracy.
Mr. Cleveland proposed three cheers for
Joe Hawlcy, and they came. Another dele-
gate proposed three for N. l). Spcrr I, and the
Convention sent them ringing out wnJi a (le-
served earnestness. The utmost good feeling
prevailed. All jealousy was removed, and
the convention adjourned to dinner.
Mr. l-Iawlcy’s sensible talk, and his frank
and manly 0 ‘er of good will and [confidence
settled every difficulty, and left the . conven-
tion harmonious and united.

thusiastically rati ythcir nominations, and promise
them the Electoral vote of this State.
Resolved. That thecandidutes nominated by this
Covcntion for Presidential Electors, shall receive our
united and hearty support.
Before putting the vote the Chairman an-
nounced that the Hartford Times had hoist-
ed the Breckiiiridge flag and published a call
for a new Democratic Convention. It was

dress ‘ ‘

ceivcd with applause and cheers, and made
an able address upon the position of parties
and the duties of electors.

EVENING SESSION.
Speeches were delivered by James F. Bab-
cock, John F. Trumbull, and Judge Tracey
of California, when the Wide Awakes ar-
rived at the Hall with the regular speakers
under escort.
The Hall was immediately filled, and the
Hon. Dwight LOomis resumed his speech
which had been broken offb the adjourn-
ment in the afternoon, w file the Wide
Awakes proceeded to Union Hall to partake
of the collation prepared for them.
Mr. Looniis spoke for about half an hour
when he gave way to John L. Swift, Esq., of
siastic applause.
The \Vide Awakes having returned from
Union Hall every available inch of room in
the biiiiding was occupied during the deliv—
ery of his speech, while many were obliged to
stand outside.
At the close of Mr. Swift's speech, with
rousing cheers for the speaker and the cause,
the meeting adjourned.
The meeting was a glorious one. To be
fully appreciated it must have been witnessed.
The meetings of last spring, with all their en-
thusiasm, bore no comparison to this. It was

Democratic State Convention.
The Convention was called to order at
10:45 by A. E. Burr, Chairman of the State
Central committee, As soon as the call was
made, Mr. Peet arose and said that the Con-
vention having come to order, he moved that
D. IV. Pardcc of Hartford be nominated tem-
porary chairman. Mr. Burr said the motion
was not in order. Mr. Peet said it was, and
renewed the motion. Mr. Burr said it 'as
not in order, and he did not put the motion
until be ascertained whether the Convention
would come to order or not. Finding they
wouid,1ic called fora nomination, and the
response was made by seve 'al—sonie calling
for Pardce, others for Hitchcock. Mr. Burr
licard'the name of Hitchcock first, and put
the question in a breeze of hisses. It was not
a vote, and Mr. Pardce was then appointed
and took his seat amid great applause.
Acommittee on credentials, of one from
each county was appointed by nomination.
A committee of one from It county was ap-
pointed on permanent organization.
A. P. Hyde of Toiland moved acommittec
of one from a senatorial district on resolu-
tions. Gen. Pratt opposed it. Didn't need
them. The party hasa platform regularly
adopted at Charleston and Baltimore. John
P. Pcnrose of Plainfield thought it would be
a great convenience, as resolutions would be
offered and something must be done witn
them. Gen. Pratt yielded, but said lichad
his platform already and should not stand on
any other.
Henry Atvatcr of Derby (the getter up of
the Meriden COnvcntion) and some others
tried to object to the appointment of the
committee on resolutions but it was foo late.
There wcs an active squabble in naming men
for the committee, but the Douglas men got
ahead generally. , -
0n the 10th a mistake was made in getting
a man who did not live in the district, and
Wm. A. Judson of Huntington moved to put
in \Vm. D. Bishop of Bridgeport (ex-M. C.)—
Tlicrc were loud noes, and on a count there
were 106 yeas, 165 noes. So Bill was reject-
cd. Noble was then appointed.
The committee on permanent organization
reported as follows:
For President—Col. A G. Hazard of En-
field.
For Vice Presidents—Hartford county, Wil-
liam Marks; Now Have , Fred. Croswcll;
New London, A. C. Lippitt; Fairfiehl, P. A.
Sutton; Litchficld, Win. P. Burrill; Wind-
ham, Col, Rufus L. Baker' Middlcscx, John
0. Cone; Tolland, E. A. Converse.
iSth-elllri'es—Eariy Martin of Killingly,Jolm
P. Hawlcy of Norfolk, Alfred O. Smith of
)‘liddletown.
Col. Hazard declined "on account of ill
health, and Gen. Pratt moved to amend by
substituting D. W. Pardec. He put the nio-
tion. and declared it carried.
Henry Atwater of Derby moved that the
roll of the Convention be called to “take the
sense” of the members on giving the Bell and
Everett men two of the six on the electoral
ticket. This was a stupid unveiling of the
' plot by one of its friends, and expressions de-
rogatory to the “sense" of Atwater were fre-
quent. Jim Gallagher moved to lay on the
table and it was done.
The committee on credentials reported, af-
ter which Mr. Hyde of Tolland, introduced
two resolutions with the prefatory remark
that they were short and sweet, and would
do to express the sentiments of the Conven-
tion before dinner. The 'first was to the ef-
fect that the Cliarleston-Buitimorcflilafform,
was one upon which the Democracy of'Con-
necticut had planted themselves; the other,
that Douglds and J olinson were the re ular-
l y nominated candidates of the National enl-
ocracy, and that the Democracy of Connecti-
Boston, who was received with most cntliu- -
--_.__..___._. ___.._.!;_:_ ........ . . .
cut were going to do all they could to secure
their election. After some wrangling as to
the proper time for discussing these things,
the Convention adjourned to 2 o‘clock, l’. M.
' AFTERNOON sussiox.
Mr. Gallagher of New Haven, spoke in
reference to the resolutions offered by Hyde.
Voted that no speaker occupy more than ten
minutes on this resolution. Yeas and nays
ordered. \V. D. Bishop asked for a division
of the question—demanded it as a right.—
Lawton of the News tried to lay the demand
on the table (l) and in answer to some inter
ruption I'C lied tartl‘y,“I’m not a postmaster.”
Mr. A. C, ippitt of New London took the
stage and argued the Douglas side with great
warmth and feeling.
A. P. Hyde said he heard for the first time
tO-day in any state convention, flint the dcni-
ocracy dare not declare their principles nor
name their candidates; darc declare no prin-
ciples, only that they don’t go for Abe Lincoln.
If we have no candidate and dare put up
none, let us go home. (Cheers, and “that’s
it”) Suppose we declare that we will have
electors pledged to vote for nobody in partic-
ular, but anybody who will beat Abe Lincoln.
Seward my” come. up, or Gerrit Siiiitb, and
they might vote for them in order to beat
Lincoln.
\Vm. D. Bishop got the floor, with up-
Jilausc. Two-thirds of the democracy of
Fairlie-Id do not believe that there is (my reg-
ular candidate in the field. (Loud applause
and some hissing.) Argue it as you will you
cannot avoid the fact that there is a division
in the party. -
He wanted the resolutions adopted and
then an electoral ticket made up of two from
each of the three conservative-parties. (Great
applause and vigorous hissing. Mr. B. pro-
tested against the hissing.)
Sheriff Burr of Killingly, went for Douglas
and nothing else—~wanted no fusion—noth—
ing but a straight Douglas ticket—spurned
all concession to seceders.
John Bishop of New London reiterated the
arguments of a dozen speakers before him,
against any attempt at fusion.

AND BUNION CURATIVE.
S the best, safest. cheapest and most effectual
remedy in use, for the safe and perfect cure of
Hard and Soft Corns, Bunions, Inverted Toe-Nails,
and all Excrescuces of the Human Feet. The pro-
cess of cure is not to eat or burn the come, but to
act directly upon the cxcresence, softening the horny
substance by its peculiar qualities so that it becomes
detached from the natural flesh and cleaves ofl‘. leav-
ing the feet free from ally disagreeable feeling or
soreness, filld‘ihe boot or shoe can be worn at all
times after theeapplication, as easily as if‘therc nev-
er was any difficulty with the feet.
Dr. B. has devoted years of experimenting to the
production ofa Cure for Hard and Soft Corns, Blin-
Ions, .60.. which he has at last accomplished. Per-
sons afllicted will fiiiil,inOIi a trial. that the labor of
Dr. Briggs will be rewarded. for this discovery has
long been sought for. and has. never been success-

Loox TO YOURSELF Ix Train—How many in con-
sequence of a false delicacy suffer from suppressed,
painful or obstructed "leash-nation, and think be
cause they are young that byeand-byc nature will
work itself clear from obstructions, and all come
right in the end, little dreaming that the seeds of
d with are already germinating in the system because
the vital energies are impaired, and the entire ani-
mal economy deranged, dcbliitatcd; and yet, care-
less of themselves as they are; if a remedy were set
before them which would restore all the functiOn of
the system, and reinvigorate the body, they would
take it, and thus be in time to save their lives. Par-
ents, think of this, and at once give them a bottle of

One of the most startling cases is narrated
of Dr. M’Lane‘s Vermifugc by Dr. John But-
tler, of Lowell, Trumbull Co., Ohio. The
case was that of a young lady who had been
very sick for eight years, and had consulted
a. number of physicians, who had treated it
as one of Prolapsus Uteri.
then called in, and fora time believed with
his predecessors that it was a case of Pro-
lapsus. He was however, soon forced to the
conclusion that his patient was suffering from
worms, and after much persuasion prevailed
upon her to take two doses of Dr. M’Lane’s
Verniil'ugc, prepared by Fleming Bros. of
Pittsburgh. This medicine had the effect of
removing from her a countless number of the.
largest size. After she passed them, her
health innnedintel y returned, She is since
married, and continues to enjoy excellent
health. .

T BOLLE‘S PATENT STONE DIG ER
AND lV ALL LAYER—the greatest labor-
savnig improvement of the age, as it will
take out stone for 1-4 the ordinary cost—
Wurrantcd to gch satisfaction. '
~ C.-H. KNAPP,’
Attorney for the Company.
Boiles’ Patent
Stone-Digger and Wail-Layer.
. This Machine is one of the gi'catlabor-gav-
ing improvements of the age, and meets with
the unqualified approbation of all who have
seen it in operation. It will take rocks out
of the earth. of five tons weight, or less, with-
out digging to relieve them, with great ease
and rapidity, and they can be drawn from
the field without unloading, and placed into
wall five feet high.
After the rocks are fitted for the books,
which is done by drilling two holes about
three-fourths of an inch deep, in opposite
sides of the rock, the Machine with a fair
chance, two men, two pairs of oxen and a
driver, will take out and drop on the ground
near the holes, 150 rocks in 10 hours. And
as the rocks are hoisted by Ox or Hore .pow-
er, there is no hard lifting for the men, and it
is easy work forthe team. With one of these
Machines, any man having a farm, can well
afford to clear it as it can be done for less
than one-quarter the best of doing it in the
ordinary way. 'The Machines are easily op-
perated and not liable to be broken or injur-
ed. We haveinany certificates from practi-
cal men, showing the efficiency of the Ma-
chines, nnd will here give few of well known
authorit r :—
Elrlracl from Hon. Simon Brown’s Letter, pub-
lished in the New England Fm'mei‘, Aug.
17th, 1858.
“ simple account of what I saw it do, will
be better evidence of its value than any glow-
ing descriptions or high sounding phrases.—
At nine O’clock the machine was backed
over a rock showing only three inches out of
the ground, and in five minutes the rock was
on the surface, and in one hour 26 rocks were
lifted out, varying in weight from 300 pounds
to 6 tons, and at the end of two hours 45
rocks had been exhumed from their natal
beds. At the end of two hours the operators
seized the largest rocks rliey had raised, and
laid them in a line for a wall, and when two
or three were in place, other smaller ones
were placed upon them with rapidity and
case, the men having scarcely any part in the
matter except hitching and unhitching the
hooks. I am clearly of the opinion that I .
have nevc never seen any machine whose use
would prove more profitable on rocky farms
than this. In accomplishing theiabor I have
described, there was no hard labor for the
men or team. This is the machine to precede
the Mower and Horse Rake on great num-
bers of our New England farms, and facili-
tate their culture, and increase their crops
and profits. Several persons who looked up-
on the operation of this machine with me, es-
timated that'it would take two men, such as
are now commonly employed upon our New
England Farms, aun two pairs of oxen four
days to doiwhat the machine did in two
hours. I think they were correct.
Ertracl from the Boston C'nllz'wr. Nov. 20, 1858.
‘ BOLLES STONE Dianna—We have lately
seen this Machine and can not withhold our
testimony in regardlo its advantages. It is
certainly much superior to any other machine
of this kind we have ever seen. It is simple
in its construction, no part giving way under
any fair trial, and is easily Operated. We are
confident it will pay to clear land Of stone
with this Machine, that cannot by mere man-
ual and ox-laborbc profitably brought into
cultivation.” ' .
From the Boston Courier.
“It was our plasure to be present on Friday
at a trial of Bolles‘ Patent Stone-digger and
VVall-layer, on the farm of Mr. H.H. Peters,
of Soutliborough, one of the most enterpri-
sing farmers in the Commonwealth. We
saw this machine in operation fornearly two
hours, and it worked to the entire satisfac-
tion of every one present. One farmer thor-
oughl y acquainted with the business of'clear—
ing lands of rocks, with an experience of a
quarter of a century, came on purpose to
condemn the machine as a iiiimbug, but iii-
stead of. that he was thoroughly converted to
its economical utility for the purpose dcsign~
ed. When he saw it lift boulders sunken
from three to four feet below the surface of
the ground, where they had rested for thou-
sands ol'years, and of the weight of from five
to seven or eight tons, and doing this in the
most easy and quiet manner, it having been
done in one or two instances by five or six
men, the oxen not being hitched to the line
at all, and in the space of three or four min-
utcs, what could he say but approve? And
this, like an honest man, he did In the way
described, 20 tons of rock, it was estimated.
were lifted in about fifteen minutes, thus av—
eraging more than a ion a. minute. When a
rock is lifled it can be carried and dropped
whcr . it is wanted for wall or other purposes.
If for wall, rocks maybe placed one above
another to height of five feet. This was
done. It is calculated that one of these ma-
chines i ianncd as indicated, will lift 150
rocks, large and small, in ten hours. There
is no hard lifting for men, and if. is easy work
for oxen. it was estimated by the farmer to
whom reference has been inadedhat this mu-
cliinc would enable a farmer to do ten times
as much work in a day as aller the ordinary
way of digging stones. T In! inventor only
proposes to save a little more than three-
fourths the ordinary labor. From experience
and observation, and after seeing the machine '
in operation, we are confident that the farmer
is nearer right. III all the exhibitions of
farm nmcliiiicry and improved implements,
we have never seen so satisfactory a demon-
strafion to practical fili‘lllCl‘S as flint on Fri-
day of BollesPnfenfStone-Lifter—we propose
to call it so, for this expresses just. what it
does, and is, therefore, a more appropriate
and significant name.
This machine may, we. think, be regarded
as the pr icursor of'flic gciiiu'al introduction
of the mowing-machine in New England.
