vised of, but have been aware that some
Of these so-called unfortunate corporations
have applied their earnings to building and
6lling with machinery new mills. This,
we are informed, was the fact in reference
10 the New Market Co., and some 9TH
ers.
- At the sale by auction last week OF
Palmer Manufacturing company stock, ii
was stated by the auctioneer-of course
correctly-that it had given an average
annual dividend Of thirteen per cent. since
its commencement, which is above the av-
erage of Lowell factories as stated by Mr..
Appleton. A statement of wages paid
operatives in several leading factory cor
porations has been recently published, uu-
der the sanction Of Mr.. Winthrop, by
which it appears that the average wages
paid at the Merrimack mills in June, 1914
were $22 O6 per month besides board, &
in Juue, 1910, they were $50 80. Thi:
would give an advance of wages since
1910, of 81 26 per month; and it is aIsC
stated " there had been no change in thu

Our Prospects.

The intelligence we receive from every portion
of our wide spread country is of the most cheering
kind. The "onlinous calm," as our Federal OPP
ponents styled it, which for some time after the
Baltimore Convention, pervade6 the Democratic
ranks, has been succeeded by an almost simultane-
Gus explosion of popular enthusiasm which prom
Uses us most glorious result in November next.
Scarcely yet has the great valley of the Mississp-
pi ceased to reverberate with be shouts of Fifty
Thousand Democratic ben who held their
council at Nashville. from New Jersey the uni
ted voice of Thirty thousand Democrats in one
vast assemblage is heard invoking their brethren
to arm for the contest. In short, from every State
in the Union, and from every portion of every
State, our public journals are literally crouded
with the reports of Democratic meetings, where
thousands and tens of thousands are congregated
together for the purpose of furherng the cause Of
Democracy and accelerating the final overthrow of
the good old Democratic track. Maine, the last
that has made this right about face movement, has
done it in real out and out style. The nominal
ton of Silas Wright for Governor of New York
has given stab under the fifth rib to the Federal
Clay party there. We believe the more thinking
portion ofthem willing to admit that he will be
elected. We have every thing to cheer us. New
er was the political horson of Democracy so clear
and cloudless as at present. Will our friends
then, in this State, not make strong and vigorous
effort to disehthrall the land Of Macon from the
domination of Federal rule Shall the good old
North State be the Democratic Rip Van Wrinkle
of the Union in November next =! We think we
hear every Democrat in the State as with one
voice. answer, No.

of Texas, addressed to Moses Dawson, Esq. We
believe it is the Longest he has yet written on this

terest. We believe it has been pretty generally
thought by most persons for some time back, that
Gen. Jackson had some considerable knowledge
in Military matters-even by those who will give
him credit for nothing else. He says in the letter
under consideration, that should Texas be lost to
through the insane policy Of the Clay leaders, that
the dangers in a military point Of view, which
would inevitably threaten us, should England or
any other hostile European power obtain foot
hold there, would be incalculabe. We have long
expanse of territory bordering that country
which in an event like the one alluded to above
would be almost defenceiosa-at least would re.
uure an immense amount of blood and Iro.sare
to protect it. But we recommend our readers te
peruse the letter.
