him an "abolition blackguard It seem* that th# f?ti|ftky champion Bcebe, could not afford to face him at Edinburgh *oy i^ore than here.— *ay«: u.

A fellow by the name of Bcebe, imported into this State by the old line democracy for the purpose of upholding the whisky plank of the May contention, spoke at Edinburgh a few days ago. A number of the citizens, apprized beforehand, of the inteneded visit of Bucbe, invited Mr M. R. Hull to be present for the of answering him. A great

Hull was not endorsed br the State Temperance

The audience suffered him to speak about three hours, and then asked him to give way for a reply, lie refused to do so, and thoy sent up a ahout for ilr. Hull, which soon brought him to silence. Mr. Hull took the stand, and after a few remarks, madd an appointment for the evening at the Christian Church. At the appointed time the Church was filled, and hundreds who could not get in stood ontside Mr. Hull gave tho speech of tho WhNkyife an an overwhelming answer to the conipleto fatisfaction of the people present.

A cause must be a very bad one, a»d lt» a sad extremity, too, when its supporters are obliged or are willing to resort to such wicked expedients as the rummies are using to uphold theirs. Is it not infamous to send through the country, an unprincipled haranguer to stir up the affections of toper* for their grog, and to entice the young to cleave to their cups under the name of liberty and independence?

And then, what is it but blasphemy, to represent the Bible as sanctioning those practices which every day's experience shows to be most deadly in their influence upon the morals of men It takes but weak arguments to convince men in the direction in which they are already strongly inclined to go. One gentleman remarked to us, how strong was the effluvium from the breath of tho topers, as the corc of tho audience loosened from about the person of Beebo when ho left tho speaker's stand and a shop-keeper, that clay remarked, how many men from a distance,, with stinking breath, were in town, declaring that they had come to hear iieebo.

Mr. Beobe would have little to answer for, if his proselyting depended upon good argumont and correct history before tobtr and impartial men but to gain the assent of those who love tho thing, it is only to *ay "lam with yon that is sufficient logic to sweep tho whole squad into the broad teny. On tho head of Bcebe and his employers and abettors be tho responsibility. We must, in this connection disapprove of the course of our friend of the Journal, in applauding this missionary's doings, and iu speaking so di.»re«pectfully of the humane and praiseworthy efforts of Mr. Hull in favo rot the great cause of temperance. We are persuaded these strictures flow not from the private sentiments of our neighbor he knows better and he wishes better and ho should have independence enough to speak better A man should not. forget that what is wrong, morally, for him to advocate, in private, in his own family circle, Is wrong for him to advocate anywhere. A political editor is no more excnsnble for chafing the truth, or for giving to his readers a wrong impression through his paper, than he would be for doing it in any other way or under any other circumstances. Go for the right. Do not. let seal for party, warp your moral sense. In tho long run, you will surely find it will not pay

ST It would be a very dangerous "experiment to have the control of tho weather committed to anyone man, or set of men, however wise. Yesterday, whilo for a considerable part of the day the thirsty earth was drinking the glorious rain, men were heard sincerely complaining of tho interruption of their business on account of live weather I If the weather should be such at all times as to favor one kind of business, it would not be long before all business would be dried up at the roots and mankind would be simmering in one general statr. If man, with his present modicum of wisdom, had poorer to make a world, the job he would, get up would be the laughingstock of all creation, and the remotest planets frf the universe would come trundling round this way just to look at the thing.

We are led to these remarks by an accidental visit to $e Musical Warerooms of Messrs Mould A Greene of our city. These enterprising gentlemen occupy for their business the whole of the three story bifiiding No. 98 Lake st., excepting only a small part of the second floor.

They arc dealing largely in all kinds of Mu-

west of New York, and manifest a determination that no want of the community for any article of their trade, in their power to supply, fchall go unsatisfied.

The first or ground floor of their establishment is devoted to the retail and jobbing de partment for Sheet Music, Books, Violins, Violoncellos «tc., in short all and every variety of Merchandise called musical. Messrs. M. G. inform us that their jobbing trade is rapidly growing lo bs th# most important part of their trade, thus affording evidence of the increasing musical taste among tho agricultural portion of the West, which interior retailers are compelled to provide for.

On the second floor is the wareroom for MoIwlwons, of which Messrs. M. G. keep the largest stock to be aeon in Chicago. We noticed here a number of most excellent instruments of their own manufacture, made in this city.

The third story which is tastefully fitted tip, and hung about with choice engravings, among which are noticeable the portraits of a number of noted musicians and composers, is wholly filled with a splendid stock of Piano Fortes, of every range of octaves and stvle of finish.—

Most conspicuous we noticed two splendid specimens from the noted factory of "Chickering." Onoa seven octave, elaborately carved in-arumot in the full Louis XIV style: the other a six

Messrs, Mould fc Greene are the sole agents in Chicago for the above manufacturers, whose instruments have received the hearty commendation of all who have used llietn. They keep at nil times a complete assortment of the various style* of the different makers, and we cannot but advise any of onr readers about to purchase, to be sore to visit their ware-rooms at JW Lake street, assuring them that they will find the gentlemen courteous and polite, and pleased at all times to exhibittheir instruments, and men who may be fully depended upon for what they assert,determined not only oy perseverance to buildup a large business—but by strict integrity and fair dealing to ensure themselves a fair and lasting reputation. ,,_mi 4

These statements corroborate the remark which we made, sometime ago, on hearing of the failure of the grape crop in Madeira that we need not entertain the slightest fear of scarcity of Madeira wine, in this country, on that account, nor of any increase in the price.

It is pitiful to soe physicians prescribing to their debilitated patients a little Port wine or a little French brandy for their stomach's sake when they ought to know that the wine and brandy which are bought at an exravagant price and sipped in great faith in Terrellauto could tell us much more about the corn of Ohio and Indiana than about the grapes of France or Portugal.

Kesoletti, That we cannot too severely condemn the effort to fasten new issues on the party, made by false friends or open enemies, which are intended to excite sectional and sectarian feelings, to create strife, and division, and to destroy the harmony, and, therefore,

Four years ago Mr. Douglas was shouting the praises of the Missouri Compromise but now he denounces as Abolitionists, those who do the same thing. &c was then, as he is now, a leader in the Democratic party.

But now, with a sacrilegious boldness unparalleled. in definncfr»of all history in the very face and eyes of voluminous speeches-and recorded votes, they are seised upon and held up as having been lhe advocates of principles which they always abhorred, and the champions of measures against which their most, strenuous efforts were always directed.

The democratic papers throughout the country are bandying this jesuistical trick, and are calling upon their readers to do—what why, in the language of one now lying before us, "to come over to the democracy, and stand on the platform of Clay and Webster."

The Know Nothings Used I'p. Nearly eight columns of the State Sentinel of Monday, are occupied with what, the Editor assures us is a veritable exposition of the Know Nothings, comprising their Constitution, Ritual, Signs, Secrets, ami confabulations in general.

The Scientific American says that of I all articles of food boiled rice is digested in the shortest time—an hour. As it eontains eight-ninths nutritious mntfer.it is! a valuable substance for diet.'' Tripe and pig's feet are digested almost as rapidly. Apples, if sweet and ripe, afe next in order. Venisons is digested almost as soon as apples. Roasted potatoes are digested in half the time required by the same vegetables boiled, which occupy more than three hours and a' half—more than beef or mutton. Bread occupies three hours and a quarter. Stewed oysters nnd boil* ed eggs are digested in three hours and a half—an hour more than is occupied by (he same articles raw.

A SHIFTY JUDGE.—A short time since they had a queer case for a Circuit Judge in the Western District of Tennessee. lie was a good lawyer, but cared nothing for appearance and less for dress. The latter he knew nothing about, it being left entirely to Betty, his wife. His Betty was absent from home oriee when he started around on the circuit, leaving the Judge to pack his clothes for the trip He did so. but instead of finding1 his shirts, he seized on a pile of his wife's whal's-you-call-env's. used for a h'ke purpose. A learned broth* er wha roomed "with him. was much amused a few morninirs afterwards, at the queer appearance of the Judge, nothing being in-sight-bat his head, arms and feet, his looks of bewilderment and his sotto voice reflections, which were, wonder what on earth made Hetty etd off my sleeves?

One Thousand Dollars Forfeit ll BOOTH'S PATENT

Grain Separator and Winnower.

The World is Challenged to produce Us Equal! rpHIS machine recommends itself upon the first trial as being perfectly adapted to the cleaning of wheat and all otheT kinds of grain

and grass seeds. As a winnowing machine it-v is equal to any other and, as a separator, its,. equal cannot be found. It is the only machine combining the double operation ofchaffing^tnd separating, and will be found an indispensable article* to the miller and farmer. To the farmer, betfcu^o it is desirtible that not only tho gram from which his bread is made is rendered PMjce/sgj&all.foreign substances and fouL seeds, but that his seed grain and grass seed* should also be freed from like substances. A good article of jrrain always commands a better price in market than th'at which is impure.??

This machine separates the grain or seed ac-: cording lo its specific gravity—ami is unerring in this respect—the heaviest grain or seed i» tho purest of its kind and by passing the same through this machine, the cheat, shrunken, grown or smut grain or seed is removed,||^ and the perfectly pure of its kind is obtained.*

It will be found indispensable to the miller^, because, in order to make lhe best quality of tlour, ho must, have his grain pure and clean j**. which can lo done to admiration by the use o|$this machine he may dispense with hisscroei^i entirely, for the machine screens the grain per*', fretIv, casting out all stones and nails, and is self regulating.

The farmer's machine works by hand the miller's by machinery, driven by less than half a horse power. Tt is durable, not easily got out of repair, occupies but little space, is very portable, and may be made of any desired capacity, to clear from 50 to 600 bushels wheat or other grain per hour.

They are Admirably adapted for cleaning grain, corn, tfec., in large elevators, where it is necessary to clean from one to five hundred bu-hels per hour.

The machine soon pays for itself, both for farmer and miller, in separating all impu» rities, such as oats, chess, spelt, grown wheat, smut balls, and a thousand other impurities to bo found in wheat .which is now ground and mixed with our bread, ami sowed with the farmer's seed wheat. It is equally adapted to all kinds of grain, chatting, Ac., drc.

For milling purposes it is very desirable, and especially those about, to build, would do well to become acquainted with it, ns it does away with the rolling screen which is very wasteful, and does not clean the ^rain. The innin feature in the invention, besides its simplicity. is the separating all kinds of grain, with the impurities iu parcels, according to the specific gravity of each. It has long been a question with the farmer, whether chosa grows from wheat, or wheat from chess it can now be ascertained, and the inventor will give five dollars for every kernel of chess that can bo procured from wheat when cleaned by this machine,or will KOUFKIT O^GTHOUSAND DOLLARS upon trial for a bettor machine for cleaning grain, taking into consideration sise, power required, simplicity, durability, time, Ac.

We have certificates and recommendations, by tho hundred, for these machines, which wo shall bo pleaded to show any and all who may wish to purchase.
