eminent. | advert not 10 these solemn and
affecting memorials Of the frailty Of hu-
man existence, with the intent Of attempt
ing, here, feebly TO repeat the heart stir
ring language Of deserved .eulogy upon
the virtues, the services, and the ever liv-

them for the more appropriate purpose, on
this occasion, of bearing official testimony
TO the deep sympathy Of the Government
Of the Commonwealth with all classes OF
| their fellow citizens, in the sentiment OF
! grief induced by their deaths, and in the
spontaneous expressions of respect, afiec-
ton and gratitude, which will render their
names, and the memory Of their greatness
immortal. 1t was permitted to the Su-
preme Executive Of the State then in ses-
sion, as the Representatives Of the people
of Massachusetts,, to pay the last sad trib-
ute Of personal regard to the mortal re-
mains Of him who was Of their immediate
vicinity, and with feeling of veneration
no less profound, and of a sense of oblIga-
ton for patriotic services no less imposing,
publicly TO notice the melancholy tidings
Of the departure of his llustrious compeer
Of sister State. The talents, the learn
ing, and the eloquence Of the most gifted
men of the Nation, have since been worth
lily tasked to the Just deineation of the
lives and characters of these Sages, Pat.
riots and Benefactors Of the age, now gone
TO the enjoyment of their lasting rewards.
What remains then for US, but that by a
sedulous imitation Of their devotedness 10

cipos of patriotism and public virtue
which they eXemphfed, we endeayor ef

life, the Institutions Of free Government
Of Education and Of Social Order, which
their labors and sacrifices 30 ominently
contributed to bestow upon the present
generation.
Cotton Manufacture. 1t is stated by Mr.
Rush in his Report that the cotton manu-
factories OF the United States, work up
full one. fourth part of the whole crop of
row cotton raised in the Southern and
Western States. As tins statement is
founded on data that cannot deceive, we
may take it with an unusual degree of
certainty. OF all the statistical facts
which lately have come under our obser-
yaton, we must be permitted 10 say that
this is the most gratifying. Only let MS
look back upon our internal industry for
the last Ten years. In 1916 we were bat
IN the commencement, but now our cotton |
fabrics can compete with the English. IfI
IN the short space Of ten years, we have
risen TO the consumption of one-fourth OF
)ur whole raw cotton crop, what may we
not expect from the succeeding teH p
When did nation possess such pros

One portion of the country will supply the

return with manufactured. Within the
units of the Republic, We possess every
