How TO LEARN THE VALUE OLA DOLLAR
Reader says the Democratic Expositor, if you
would learn the value of dollar, 90 and labor
two days in the burning sun, as bod. carrier.
This is an excellent idea, and il mauy Of our
young gentlemen had to earn all their dollars il,
that way, how much less dissipation, and folly,
and crime, would we witness every day. So
Of our fashionable young ladies'. II they, like
the poor widowed author Of the song Of the
shirt, had to earn their dollars by making shirts
at sixteen cents piece, how much less foolish
finery would we see about them, and how much
more truthful notions would they have Of the
duties Of life, and their obligations to the rest
Of the world.

The Native American party, says the
Louisville Democrat, is generally compos
ed OF young men, having no other merit,
and very naturally included to substitute
birth for every thing that is good and great.
This is a weakness inherent in youth, and
should be looked upon with some degree
of allowance. Age and experience will
teach them that worth makes the man, af-
ter all, and not the place of his birth
that, henceforh, more liberal spirit is to
pervade the world --that men are to be
judged by their principles and their con.
duct, and not be put down, or set up be-
cause they first saw the sun in this or that
quarter OF the globe. The day is coming,
if it has not already come, when men
shall regard one another, and be consider
ed as brethren of the same family. If a
man who is born in Ireland, or Great Bri-
tain, or Germany, is, on that account, moi
to be considered the equal of another,
born on the banks of the Ohio, or at the
foot Of the Rocky mountains, then, by the
same rule, an individual born in Connec.

CHINESE SILK CoTToN. bale Of this
description Of cotton was received the day
before yesterday, by Messrs. VIM. Laugh.
lin g. Co. Grayer street. We have sell
dom, if ever, seen cotton of so fine tex.
ture, and so lengthy staple, as is the
sample we took from this bale. 1t has a
fine, glossy appearance, and remarkable
toughness. TO which peculiarities, and Its
having been produced from The Chinese
seed, il owes IFS distinctive name. 1t was
grown upon The plantation of DR.. George
w. McElrath, Of Warrenton, Mi, who,
we understand, has fifteen acres planted
with the same kind of seed. II affords us
much pleasure 10 notice such evidences of
the improvements which are making in
the cultivationof our great Southern sta
pie. Ii is in This way that the planter of
the United States can secure 10 himself the
monopoly Of cotton growing which he now
possesses, and Of which The leading En-

produce, their reward will be greater,

PRoTEcTIoN.--Like many other falla.
cies which in history we find have been
adopted, found untrue and abandoned by
governments, the protective policy, as far
as the necessaries Of life are concerned,
has been repudlated in England. The
corn laws of that government have been
in existence one hundred and fifty years,
and within that period the people Of Eng
land have been changed from a corn
selling tva buying people. The princi-
plcof protection has made the English
poor instead Of rich nation. The prime
Minister, the power behind the throne,
has at length made the discovery hap
Ply one for the laboring classes the
corn laws have been virtually abolished.
The fallacy, having been cherished for
one hundred and fifty years, has at length
been Abandoned The corn growers we're
at first projected in order thai England, 10
case Of war, might not be dependant up
on foreign nations for her bread. But
when every march and waste piece Of land
was Improved, and The anount OF duty
prohibited The importation Of corn, the poor
were half starved in consequence Of The
cxtrasagantpiece Of bread stuHs, and The
rich found protection for iheIrusufious ex-
actions at the hands Of government. -
