Spontaneous Cona6tIstioa-A writer in the
Hartford, (Connecticut Courant, relates a
case of spontaneous combustion, which, if
true, might satisfactorily account for many
fires.
ga case of spontaneous combustion was re-
ported to me few days since by gentleman
of undoubted veracity, that took place under
his own observation. He is a manufacturer
of machinery for cotton factories, and had di-
rected one of his worllmen to stain the frame
work with linseed oil, mixed with spanish
brown, and to rub it down with handful of
shayings, as the usual practice is. These
shayings were thrown upon the floor. la the
evening, few hours after, light was disco
vered in the 81 a, on repairing to it, these
sAayings were found on fire, and in a few
moments the building would probably have
been en- fire also.
As it is an every day practice with cabinet
makers, SC. to do this very thing, and as il is
new case to me, and probably TO Others,
send il to you for publication, for the benefit
Of whom it may concern"

In New York, the Commercial Advertiser saws
that the semi monthly lists of letters in the Post

during the whole Of Mr.. a dams administration.
In Philadelphia The United States Gazette says
that a ia ckson Editor had the Post Office printing

IL In addition to the cases above cited TO ralsify
the statement of the Argus, we will add another.
In this town. tbe Post Office Advertisements, even
in the days of the Coalition" were not given to
this paper, the only "Coalition print in Richmond,
though the p. NJ. was also of the Coalition" side,
but to>a paper of neutral politics, though its Editor
| (thc very consistent Mr.. Ritchic was himself, no

no change. But it was remarkable instance of in

been accidental as when called in and given permis

told by the Court, that the finding of fraudulent
intent was u necessary foundation for the Judgment
OF the Court Refusing thus to find any fraudulent

negative that construction of Dr. Watkins conduct.

has givci, ON the Policy of encouraging Manufac-

W Ing, satisfy us, that, if the northern and middle

cate of judicioSs--not Jackson-rarifi"
There is much shrewdness in the foregoing obser-
vaton. The idea certainly prevails and is cncour-
aged by designing men, that there is repulsion be
tween Northern and Viraiaia interests, and that
what makes for the interest ofthc first for That rea-
son alone, makes against the interest OF the last
The anti northern preiudces of Virginia lave by
certain class of influential poll tcials ever been
fully fomcnted and whenever political stroke is to
be struck, the prejudces OF the South against the
North, are drawn upon fund ever available and
well nigh ineXhaustibe. We have ever thrown in
our little mite TO combat this unseemlv and disas-
trous Jealousy among brethren of the same great
family. 1t is slowly wearing ont. Much of the op-
position to the TarirI,as undoubtedly proceeded from
the idea that it IL northern measure intended ex-
clusvey to benefit northern interests at the
of. southern. The farmers of Virginia swept ssav
by this PREJUDICE for long time, shut their ears
and hardened their hearts against all reaso.mc
! They would not so lnncl agree to enquire But
light is breaking in. Much Of this prejudice has van.
ished In 1924, as bigotcd against the Tar
if as Governor Giles himself, and at that dny we
knew bal i'll this city, WHO its adroc,te.
Gov. Giles with that fatality which follows all his
Writings, has advanced the cause Ire attacked.
Strange as this may to the Boston Courier we
really believe it to have been efficient cause in
stimulating enquiry and dis.ipaing prejudice. Such
is the estimation in which the opinions of that once
distinguished man are now held in a great part OF
Virginia. that his cOlntenance is decidedly prejudcia
to any measure lie supports. But there are other
causes at WORK, besides the fortunate opposition OF
Gov. Giles. Enquiry is busy, and many who have
speculatveiv sat down to form opinion for them
selves have ended their investigations in convic ion
of the utility of the Tariff. The great difficulty
which prejudice opposed to candid enquiry is sur
mounted There enlightened advocates of
the Tariff all over The State, and the nunGcr is
daily increasing. When the farmers once perceive
that the Tariff is particularly for their benefit, by
creating stcady home market, and not they were
taught TO believe, for the exclusive benefit OF north
ern capitalists, remaining prejudice will give way.
Mankind will follow their interests, in spite Of all
the Governors, and all The Golden Caskcs that were
ever opened to be found TO contain nothing but words
and llummery.
