They will do ail that any other Machine will, and do it better, including Hemming, Quilting, Felling, Cording, Binding, Braiding. Stitching, &c, &C, with a perfect stitch alike on both sides. They are fitted with «n improved break, which prevents the Machine turning the wrong way, and so entangling and breaking the thread.

ijft<l iiiMMjffiegarasaßßg33EaßaE3c»agag.s'^ f gfiga^ Election. THE SUPERINTENDENCE ELECTION, ELECTOBS O? THE PROVINCE OF AUCKLAND. jH.:FHTI,EMEN.--.lt appears to mo >-•" that it has now reeome desirable that the con trol of Auckland Provincial affairs should be trans- p ferred to the hsni'sj of others than t'hos>! by whom tVu t province iniH been governed ihiiinf; the ps&t. With .splendid resources in haul, eo;d, gold, iron, ~ and other minerals ; with a climate unsurpassed by any in the world ; and with a sturdy and industrious population of from 00,000 to 70,000 . people, who pay sonic .C1',00,000 per annum in t-xts in ore shape or anoihor for pntpcßOS <■ gool government, public works &0., it is x Haddoniiifc to find Hint; wo as a province are not only malting little or 110 advance lowardo porrranent pros- * polity, but that at many point? we are actually retro :_:nulhi'/. 1 attribute this state of things to misgovernment," the ill-judged expenditure of public money and ex travagance in the past, which have entailed upon the c.omtmuiity gr'evoxiu burdens in the form of public debts, for which interest and sinking funds have now to l>e provided by oppressive tariff duties! and other forma of taxation, So far has this state of <h!n?,i already gone that nt the pro*'nt moment the Provincial authorities of Auckland .ire at their wits'rnd, and find it exceed ingly difficult and embarrassing to provide adequate means even for. such an Important o'-ject as educa tion ," This Province is placed at a further disadvantage j by roa'on ni'llio mnim.r i\ h»si been dealt with by tho General Government in the expenditure of the ' larec loans* which were negotiated on tho credit of ° tin: whole colony for purposes of Immigration and Public Work-;. Althouph we In Aiiokland are ohflrgc'ihle with the re-payment of about ono-fourth , part of these loans, and nUhontrh we contribute in about that pi ftp rtion towards t rovjding intTeat and sinking fund* therton, yet o«inp to want of nnitid action by our Superintendent and Representatives only a very small portion of the borrowed money has lio-n employed fnr cur benefit. Oar Provincial Revenue for tiie ensuinc year will probably be under Ci'.o.OOO, and out of this sura we have to maintain our Police, Gaols, Hospital*) Lunatic ( Aijjlums, Pick and Destitute. Haibonrs, &c. which t cost snmo £88,000 p< r annum. After paying the Provincial salaries and Departmental expenses on the present sca'c little or nothing will thereto 0 remain for aid to Road Boards, for Bridges Ferries, Tram ways nt tho GoldfleHit, &c, and in view of this state of things I belltve iti-i our first duty to reduce these ; Provincial salaries and Tepiirtmontal cxponsi;;; to an amount proportiomitc to our altered menns. Our next duty is to require at tho Imr.ils of our re prosrntatives tliAt they unite in demanding fr--m tho AssemWy sind UlO Government that Justice sha 1 no longer bo denied to this province in tl'c mattor of the expenditure of the money borrowed upon our credit conjointly with that ff the rest of the colony. I desire toboccve Superintendent of the Province tliati may bo in a position to vivo practicd! eflVct to tliii above'! vluws, find that there may bo come coki bincd effort mado tobilng about r diffeicnt state fii tliingi that nmrevltility mny be imparted to our in. dusiri.is, bucli a« Mlnlnif.

If, however, yon are content to on ai of yore, and elect a polit'cian of the old Auckland school, 1 think you -will find, when too iutt:, that ad ditionnl burdensome luxation must speedily bo reported to. You will ;ilso probalily find that tho old system of denominational education will bo introduced into this province, a system so often used a.-> nn i< wtrument of favoritism to one party and ot opprc-Mtlon to snoihor; a system ?•> productive of secturlnn jea'ous'.ca and blokcrinpa tliiit it hns been abandoned l>y more advanced communities in fuvnur of n liational ppcuilur educa tional si stem.

Reasons Why j DOWNER'S KEROSENE OIL Should] ba used by Coruumevs in preference to any nme Petroleum Oil. Ist. It is safe, having a fire test of never less than 12.1° FAhronheit. 2nd. It is finished by distillation, without treatment I with aciils auj alkalies as the last process. It is | double distilled for the purpose of removing the acids i and alkalies used in the manufacture of all Petroleum ! Oils, but which cannot be removed except by their process, 3rd. Tho Downer Oil being chemically pure, burns with more brilliancy of flamo, consuming less oil for a given amount of light. It .jives less trouble, because tho Lamps reqxure loss frequent tilling, and'tho wick less frequent trimming. 4th. Although the Downer Oil costs more per gallon than other oils, it is, iv the end, cheaper for the con sumer, because it gives a greater amount of light with consumption of oil. Your grocer may tell you he has on sale an oil in uality equal to Downer Oil. Don't believe this story. Downer Oil is quoted and known all over the world jas the highest standard brand. This reputation has ' been achieved by its having been made by a better process and more costly than others, which process has been adhered to from tho beginning, without re gard to expense. i ______ | £2T KB.- DOWNER'S KEROSENE IS THE ONLY BRAND That! will/givo [entire,, satisfaction in the Anucapnlc Lamp.
