Our Mechanics il no class OF our cili-

of our village as our mechanics and il is their en-
terprise and industry, like the pendulum of n
clock, that still keeps business in notion We
have about two hundred operatives, which, to-
gether with their families constitute more than
one third of the village and more than half OF its
activity. Their consumption of farmers produce
is some thirty thousand dollars per annun, and
the dealers of dry goods and groceries are in
debted TO the mechanics, directly and indirectly,
for large amount of their business. Is there not
then o good argument in favor of home trade.
There is scarcely al article manufactured that
cannot be furnished by our own mechanics as
reasonable terms and of a superior quality 10
those from aboad How manfestly wrong is it
then, that we patronize the products OF some for

citizens, who are doing so mnch for the prosperl-
ty of our village; and how maniiesly wrong for
our merchants 10 engage in the traffic of articles.

OF mechanics We will instance one act for n
demonstration. The business of hats has, until
within year or two, been carried on prosperous
Iy IN this village, and why should it not be encour-
aged There is not less than five thousand dol
lars worth of hats and caps sold here annually,
the manufacture OF which, for one man, would nf-
ford competent income. But u competition
with every merchant who could purchase, in a for.
eign market, an inferior article and crowd them
OIL upon his customers, Woulu very eoou ruin his
business, and in this case, has actually driven the
manufacturing of that article out of town, and
there is not now halter in our borders. And so
in every other branch of industry. Is it not then
she duty, MS well as the interest of every man. TO
extend the fostering hand of patronage, TO the
mechanics of our own village, 10 the exclusion Of
foreign fabrics, as far as practicable Those who
would thrive themselves should endeayor to en-
courage and build up those about them, no mattel
of what trade or profession. Every man who il
engaged in active business contributes share tC

The Siaue Irade-The provisions of the trea-
~ oil the subject of the slave trade, to which
Austria, France, Great Britain, Prussia. and Rus
STA, are parties signed on Doth Dec. are thus de-
scribed by the Morning Post -" The right of
search in respect to vesselsable to the suspicion
OF being engaged in the slayetrade, is mutually
granted by each of the Five Powers, parties 10
this benfcent treaty, v all vessels of war bearing
the flag Of any of the five. Thus, the constant
existence and umentied activity of the most eff
ective navn force iha' any or all the Five Powers
can establish for the suppression of the slave
trade, is made part Of the public law of Europe.
IL is agreed, moreover between the Five Powers,
that the legal character and denomination of the
crime of trading in slaves upon the sea, and that
of cooperating in the traffic by the supply Of cap
tal or talent in its aid, SHALL by the law OF each Of
them, be made TO assnilate, as speedy as possible,
TO those which the Legislature Of Great Britain
has Unmarried to these crimes. The British law,
in respect to The slave trade embodied in the Sd
and 4ih of William the Fourth c. 73, is to the
effect that any subject Of Her Majesty, or any in-
diyidna residing in any part of Her Majesty do
minions, who shall engage in the Slave trade, oil
in the conveyance OF slaves upon the sea- shall be
held TO be guilty Of The crime OF piracy and
That any one who shall knowingly embark capital,
or lend other aid of any kind to the traffic, al
though not personally engaged in it. shall be held
to be guilty of felony, and punished accordingly
the former crime involving the punishment Of
death, on the ad Indication OF a competent trlou-
nal OF any civilized state; the latter that OF trans
portalion on the adjudication of any competent
British tribunal. Such as we have described it,
will hencelorih, in virtue of this treaty, be the
public law OF Europe. That this law will be rig
orously carried into execution by The naval police
which Great Britain and France have the power
md the disposition to establish, there can be no
reasonable doubt. II is not too much TO say, that
the treaty of Dec. both is death blow TO the slave
trade throughout the world"
