Until recently was in favor of MIR. Van Buren,

Who are Manufacturers

The maker of brlckdust and the house
carpenter, the mason and shp-builder,,h
tailor and shoemaker, the halter and mil
liner, the black smith and matchmaker, the
IRON founder and saddler, the author and
his publisher, the soap-boler and apnthe-
cary, the wheelwright and the locomotive
builder, the cabine maker and ropemaker.
and all the various handycraltsmen of ci-
vlllzallon, are as much manufacturers as
the makers of pins and buttons; of tinware
and cutlery, Of cotton shifting and broad
cloths. The chief ground of difference
is, that, while the capital Of some of these
craftsmen and crafts-1comen consists in
their skill, or two hands and tell fingers,
or brains and sinews, that of others con-
slsts in their money, which employs the
skill: hands, fingers, brains. and sinews of
their neighbors. If either of these more
properly merits the name of manufacturer,
1t is he who does the work, and the
workers are they to whom these crafts
are most essential for living, and as the
foundation of wealth. To oppose manu-
tactures, is therefore to oppose every man
who depends on handycralt for lively
hood-it is to oppose the march of civili-
cation.

AN TI-REPUDIATION.

In the Georgia Legislature, on the 5,h
Instant, Mr.. King, from the Committee
on the State of the Republic to whom
certain resolutions from the State of New
Jersey we're refcrrd, on the subject of re-
pudiation, submitted the following rcso-
lulions
ReSolred, That we regard the Sigh
est breach of plighted faith, public or pri-
vate, as a want of that moral principle
upon which all obligation depends /:
That when any State ef this Union shall
refuse to recognize her great seal as the
sufficient evidence Of her obligation, she
will have forfeited her station in the sister
hood of States, and will no longer be
worthy of their confidence or respect.
RESOLVED, That his Excellency the
Governor be requested to transmit copies
of the foregoing resolutions to the Gov
ernor of each of the United States, with
request that he will cause the same to
be laid before the Legislatures thereof.

Proposed Candidates for Goucrner.-
We find almost daily in some Of tho
Baltimore papers, communications re-
commenting different gentlemen as suit
able candidates for Governor. Prominent
amongst them are the names OIL. Speed,
Judge fIarwood, Thomas G. Pratt, Sam
uel Barnes and y. w. Bowie.
We do not think it surprising that the
frlendsol these different gentlemen, should
thus early bring their names before the
people, for we look upon the election of
the next Wing Candidate for Governor
as certain; but we do think that the sub
ject is agtatcd entirely too soon for the
good OF the party generally.

would be candidate who would be cred :.

L. S. SsNAroR.-We find the following com.
munication in the Baltimore American of Thurs
day. We agree with tn e writer in the compli-
ment he pays to the ability of Col Groome, and
think the hint he gives in regard to claims of
Cecil, reasonable one. Cecil seldom asks any
thing ofthe party, but when there IS any work
to be done she goes manfully at it, in the face of
an opposition unknown in any other part of the
Eastern Shore-and she has often given moro
Wing votes than any other county on this side of
the Bay.
Her claims certainly are stronger than any
other Colnty's: and the gentleman proposed by
"A Cecil Whig' is certainly as capable as any
who have been named for the office.

CANDIDATE FOR CONGREss.-We

observe in the Kent News of Saturday
last commanication signed "a Wing

that by the 9TH of January the Legislature
will have passed law dividing the State
into Congressional districts, one of which
will consist Of "Kent, Queen Anne's''-

sumel and Hartford counties and part OF

of the counties named, appointing dele
gates to meet in Convention in Elk,on, on
the Slh of January, to select candidate
for Congress.
In the same paper is an editorial article
approving the suggestions of "A Wing
from the Start" and recommending early
action on the subject.
As far as we Individually, are concern
ed, we are not prepared to act in the mat
ter yet. We do not think the state will be
"'''ieCu 50 early, nor are we certain the
districts will stand as intimated. We do
not see, Gas the Bay has to divide dis
trlct,) why it might not as well be crossed
at the lower end of the Shore, as at the
upper. After the districts are laid of, we
will be ready TO assis, in immediate action
towards nominating and electing candi-
date. Nevertheless we lay the matter be-
lore our readers, and leave it to the wings
OF the county 10 act upon the suggestion
OF the "News," and its correspondent, or
not, as they think most proper. The News
recommends holding meeting IN that
county, the Both inst. to appoint Candi-
