Here We have presented the fearful sum Of
eleven milIions, five hundred thousand dollars,
sAs the annual expense Of officers, agents, and
clerks. for coming, counting, receiving, sad
paying, and keeping accounts ofthese manu-
factories!
But unforunateIylthis is moi all, lfthis was
the ony cost of the wi,hering and damning
business ofbaOking we might be satisfied. To
the above sum, large as it is, we mfy fairly
and reasonably add the dividends made to The
stockholders out of the profits sccrung from
the employment Of $500, 1000 capital, most
iy paper rags, al 6 per cent, which would swell
the sum full S30,OOO,00O more-making a
grand total Of FORTY-oNE MILLIONS OF DOL

ANrr-SLAvERY MovEMENT.-The Auti-
Slavery folks of Philadelphia have been max
ing quite sir within few days past. There
seems 10 be shaking among the dry bones Of
the Aboliiionisls and they have yet done in
the way ofeCtures and the distribution oftracs
on the subject Of slavery. A resolution to this
effect was adopted al the annual meeting held
last week, and 81 900 raised on the spot, TO
carry out the plan. AT the Ladies Anli-SIa-
very Fair obout $500 were raised. We have
no objections to The philanthropies doing eve
ry thing within the bounds ofreason and pru-
dence for the ameIioration of the condition Of
their lelIow-men, but we dieapprove Of tanning
the spark Of Fanticism into blaze which may
anon consume the nation in its whrlwind fury.

ture, and it much. Ny friends tell me they
can see the eyes move, and il must be partly,

my people arg afraid. am glad it is done,
though many ofmy heart is strong have
jumped on to the medicine rock, have pac-..
ed my arrow on it, and no Mandan can take ID
away. The red stone is slippery, but my foot
was sure, it did moi slip. My bro'her, this pipe
which give 10 you, | brought from high
mountain, il is toward the rising sun, many
we're the pipes that we brought from there, and
we brought them away in peace. We left our
totems or marks on the rocks, we cut them
deep on the stones, and they are there now.
The Grand Spirit told all nations TO meet there
iu peace, and all nations hid the war club and
The tomahawk. The Dab tabs, who are
our enemies, are very strong, they have taken
up the war-club and the tomahawk, and the
blood Of our warriors has run on the rocks1
My friend, we want 10 visit our medicines, our
pipes are very old and worn out. My friend.
wish you 10 speak to our Great Father Sbout
