It is certainly the most utefo) and economical invention or thh age. and we ; : advise onr readers to hesitate no longer. : j but tee tn getting one of thee# labor and ; | saving Machines. Tbera ere n greet | : many kinds of Sewing Machine*. end w» j taken some pains to examine into i , tbeir respective merits, and w# have come | j to the Conclusion that the Wheeler k Wi|I Highest Premium S -wing Machine, is I | decidedly the best. These unequalled Machines are adapted j ■ every vsrivty of sewing for family a ear, j tlra lightest muslins to the heaviest ] cloths. *They wprk equally well upon silk, ' woolen, and cotton goods, with silk, j cotton or lioen thread. They will swam, i qoilt, gather, hem, fell, cord, braid, bind, •nd perform every kind of sewing, making I beautiful and perfect stitch, alike on both -| sides of the article sewed. The sewing will never unravel or wash out. The Wheeler k Wilson Sewing Machines ! are so simple that a child can work them ' with esse.

Another change has occurred in the Cabf inet. The Post office Department hug^ r changed hands, and the H->n. Montgomery t Bleif having tendered his resignation, is succeeded in office by Ex-Governor Dennit son, of Ohio. This change is slated to have been made in obedience to the resolution of the Baltimore Convention of tbe ' | Republican party, which demanded h.-trtno-j "3" In the Cabinet. Mr. Chase was the first j sacrifice to that r.solqtion, sod Mr. Blsir. is the second. Mr. Blair's administration cf his department has given very general satisfaction, and we know of no objection lum on that score. His snccessor is a of high reputation in Ohio and the vest, and brings to bis new position abilities which command respect. This fills the Ohio space in the Cabinet left vacant the resignation of Mr. Chase. — A'ortk Amerierih. PERHOAAL 4AD POLITICAL. The Democratic State Convention of Now York re-nominated Gov. Seymour.

The population of the J country, which iu 1850 was twenlj-tbree • millions, will io 1875 be forty-eix million'. t . But the rebeiiion f says tome oos. How 3 i mach hat the rebellion diminished tbe j strength of the United States? Taka this ( ! astonishing fact, that ir all the Rebel j States had been sank in the Pacific Ocean, lb# United Sutes woold in lb75 have a J popnlation equal to that of th* whole in I860. In other wordu, fifteen years will eupply tbe total ioai of the eleven original ' Rebel States !~ What can impede the pro- ' grass of snch a conntry ? 2.

Now let it increase but 60 from 1860^ to 1870, end it will amount to ten I times all the loans of tb* government, i T<* German knows what be is about.
