'Aiiien Banks can keep the country banks en-
gageo IL an indirect warfare upon each other.
they Will probably find no difficulty in loanins.
their money. circulating medium must be
hao, and 1t the emissions Of the country banks
could be limited to the mere amount of their
specie capital, it must be supplied from some
other source than those. What, then, must
be the condition Of the people of the country.
whiie the bills Of the country banks may be
thus safely" quoted sat par go What are
our manufacturers, our mechanics, and our
traders to do for money to meet their pay
ments! They must often anticipate the pro-
cceds OF their stock or goods, and to what
source snail they apply when once the princi-
pies OF the Allied Banks, as praciised upon,
snail be carried into full effect? We answer,
let them go to Boston. IL they are rich, OF can
command rich endorsers, they can probably
procure money there. Let them borrow Bos
ton bills, and, with them, supply the currency
OF the country, which our own banks dare not
July do; and when they pay their notes, let
them gather what little country money is at
hand, and remit it: for, by this excellent ar
rangement of the Alliance, - it is all at par.
and as good as their own money! But query
arises with regard TO the young men in the
country, the small dealers, and the many who
borrow money, but can boas; OF no rich relation
for an endorser, no friend whose name is known
on Change. 1t would be out of the question
that they should be accommodated in the way
we have devised for their richer neighbors, and
they must therefore resort, for relief. to the
miserly, note-shaving harpies that are to be
found in every society, and thrive best where
the means of procuring loans of money are the
least accessible to all. Talk not to US of ars-
tocracy, when one set OF men may thus lord it
over another Who would not exchange the
real oppression of monied associations for the
evils of fancied superiority which birth gives
to favored portion of the community?

For the Massachusetts snv.1

Ma. EDIToR-l regret to see the manifesto
tons of restless spirit in Worcester North
District, in reference to the approaching cleo
ton OF member 10 Congress. The friends of
the present Administration have full conf
dence IN the ability and integrity of Mr. Locke
The duties which have devolved on him, as
member of an important committee, and his
vote in every question of moment, give evil
dence of extensive political talent, and of
fidelity to his constituents.
Is it not unfortunate that, on the very eve
OF election, while political harmony pervades
every section of the district, while not voice
disclaims single step in Mr. Locke's political
course, that candidate should be presented
for the Office who 6 may do better'' than he
who has, and get continues 10 perform his duty
WsH2
If the friends of Mr.. Kendall are confident
of his superior abilities to represent their in
terests, would it not have been more ingenu-
Gus 10 have entered the arena at an earlier
date, that, in an honorable and temperate
spirit, the merits of the two candidates might
have been fairly examined?
am not disposed to doubt the talents Of MIR.
Kendall; that they are superior, however, TO
those OF the Hon. John Locke, no one, think,
will pretend. Mr.. Kendall is in the high road
to Improvement, and experience will, undoubt-
eddy, qualify him for more responsible Office
than he now sustains; although it must be
considered that even a tdcit assent on his part
to be again presented to the public, IN like
manner as he irGS tlUO gears since, savors more
OF ambition than prudence, and is against the
best interests of

MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS.

Pafents.-From an article in the North A.
merlcan Review, on the Patent Office, the
following facts have been collected. Since
the Patent Law was passed in 1898, four
thousand patents have been obtained. There
are two thousand models, ingeniously execut,
cd, preserved in the Patent office. One
thousand and twenty-three patents were is.
sued during the last five years-and hundret
and fifty were applied for in the first quartersf
the year 1896. The whole number for the
year will be at least four hundred,-yieldinr
revenue of $4,000.
DoubLe-headed TWtle.-Mr. Louis Storko
has placed in Mr.. Peale's Museum, beauti-
ml turtle of the terrapin species, with two
distinct heads. Each head appears to have
ITS own intelligence. Sometimes the one
head will descend in the water, whilst the
other will remain on the surface, &c. It will
look with the one set Of eyes in one direction
whilst the others attention is directed anoth-
er way. II was caught at Staten Island yes
terday morning, and is great natural curios-
ity. Ere. Post.
Sweet Potatoe was raised in the garden
of gentleman in Fast Hartford, which meas
ured in length twenty inches, was fourteen
and quarter inches in circumference, ant
weighed five pounds ten ounces when first dug.
The weight Of all that were known to nave
come from the same hill, was eleven pounds
eight ounces.
Distressing. --Mr. Thomas Gregory, Of
New-London, went on Sunday last, IN COM
pany with others, to neighboring town, in
search of chesnuts. Having assembled tree
to the height of about fifty feet, Mr.. G.
man Of the age of ca, while in the act of
changing his position, lost his hold, and was
precipitated to the ground, striking on his
stomach, at about 25 feet from the ground a
heavy limb Of the tree, which ended his exis.
tence in few moments. .4dp.
A man living near Detroit, following some
Instructions found amongst the papers of his

JoHN RANDoLPH.-A friend OF ours, now
residing in Paris, writes, under date of Sept
8, as follows -" Our odd countryman, John
RGnasIph, has been some days in Paris. 1t is
said that he visits nobody, and does not like to
have it known that he is here. | saw gen.
tlsEan two or three days since, who has been
travelling with him in England. He. says
John is tired of Europe, down-hearted, and
intends returning soon TO the United States.
When he was in Liverpool, he attended the
theatre, and, John Randolph-like, seated him
self in the pit. Ills outlandish dress, and his
queer figure and physiogncmy attracted the
notice Of John Bull blackguard, who began
making him the butt of his ridicule. He had
not made many sallies before Mr.. Randolph
fixed his keen eye GU the young jester, and
said TO him in stern voice, 6 Let him who
ieers the Tartar beware of the dirk =" The
poor fellow thought he had indeed encounter
ed Turk, and, frightened half out of his sen-
ses, suspended his insolcnce, and took him
selfout of the atmosphere Of the hero Of Roam

preference to 6.Aers il is the woollen business,
because it creates a demand for wool, which
might, in a FEW years, become as important
staple of the northern, as cotton has Of the
southern States. Our climate and our soil are
peculiarly adapted to It's growth, and. what Is
an important consideration TO the farmer, it re-
qures less cxpensc Of labor, in proportion to
It's value, than almos. any other production OF
the farm.
We ap2rehend that the public, generally,
are not aware of the extent to which the
woollen manufacturing business is carried, or
of the evils which must inevitably flow from
its prostration. If none were to be affected
bot those who are directly interested, either
as owners or laborers, then the evil would be
sufficiently great to require remedy promptly
applied. loss to the community of some
millions of dollars, and the throwing of thou
sands Of laborers out OF employment, are things
not lightly to be regarded. Yet, these are
but the precursors Of the distress which must
follow in their train. The loss of the market,
which the establishments make for provisions
and for wool, cannot but seriously affect every
portion of the community. Those who recol-
lect the universal depression of business, and
the wide spread distress which attended the
partial stoppage of our factories in 18l7-l8,
can best judge of the effect, which return OF
those causes would have at the present time,
when the business is SO much extended be-
yond what it then was.
