"The large capital of the establishment would
secure undoubted credit here, and what is more
valuable, in Europe; so that in the course of a
short time the best and largest European Man
uacturers would find it to their interest to con-
sign largely, the most desirable goods to this
house. Any one acquainted with the lmporta-
tons of French, German and Swiss goods,
knows how willing the manufacturers OF those
countries are to make consignments or estab-
fish agencies, provided the security offered Is
ample and satisfactory. Goods of any quant-
ty could then DO procured without the outlay
of much money, and sold to the country mer-
chants at the same prices which New York Job"
beers would have to pay TO their own commits
sion houses, and at lower prices than they could
be bought from the importers, (the importers
not being satisfied with mere commission and
guarantee of l-2 per cent? yielding at the
same time profits sufficient to pay the interest
and expenses of the concern, and to meet eve
ny emergency. The capital, by arrangements
made as thus stated, would then always be at
the disposal of the house TO take advantage OF
sales on this side of the Atlantic. The pur-
chases being made for cash could be effected at
the very lowest market prices.
The entire quantity of silk goods purchased
at present by our retail merchants in New
York, could be imported by this house, and
sold to them on terms at least as favorable as
those of the New York houses.
There will be objections made to the estab-
shment of house of this sort on the ground
that the capital of SO many interested owners
is to be entrusted to the honesty of single
person as the head of the establishment. But
could not objections of this nature be over
comet [ think very easily:-for example,
let there be committee appointed by the
Stockholders of the most intelligent and
respectable merchants or other citizens, to
whom the books and bank accounts of the con-
Germ may at any time be accessible. Let there
also be committee appointed, say every six
months, whose duty it shall be to be present al
the taking of stock. In fine let such restric-
tiOns and provisions be made as will give the
greatest security, and compel the honest per
Torrance of the duties and trust of the head
of the establishment.
AN ELOQUENT DEFENCE OF THE MILITIA
They are talking about reform of the militia
law of the State of New York, but the advo
Gates of the old system bring to its defence sucf
power of eloquence that a change need hard
ly be anticipated. We cannot forbear making
All extract from a speech which was delivered
recently at Albany, in defence of the glory o
the militia:
The militia is the bone and gIizzle Of tn
country. 1t locks, bolts and bars the gates O
creation, and stands sentinel on the tollest ram
parts of Natures dominions. This Republi
would be miserable consarn, but for the mill
tia. 1t keeps the ardent sperrts of military Ell
| fugence in glow of lcelandic ferverosity.--
! Pm attached TO it myself. | think it's rich
! The system can't bo bettered. Folks call 1t
farce. | don't see nothin' to laff at in it. III
a paguey solemn piece of biziness, when 20,
come to hug down to the naked reality ont
faint everybody that can put on the regimen
talties, and look like old Mars, the god of war
with decided touch of Julius Junius Ceaze
her thrown in fur effect. No, Stree Their
, amt 4 bigger or more important Critter afloa
than live militia ossifer, all rugged in the fol
catouterments of glory, with strips to his bree
cheroons, epoletts piled up on both shoulders
brass buttons from head tew foot, silver star
shinin' in the tails Of his coat, cap and PLUME
OH his head, and u drawd sword in his hand
SIGH sites enuff TO make fallen man and wo
man think better of his specie! IT'S indeed
believe the preluscent delirium of this des
tined Republic is centred in its militia. 1t can
stand without it. With it, its proud motto is
"Diuided Toe stand, united ,ce fall"
Stop cheering-you put me all out
Gen. Washington belonged to the militia; St
did Sippo Afr-cane- SO did Boneypart; S,
did that old Wizzgoth that ravished all Europe
and burnt its fences and stone walls; and so al
SO, sodgers, do Il
| believe if all out doors should bust threw
the paralurnailye of the animal economy ant
slide down the creased plank of ancestral delin
quency ker-slump into the broad Savannars Q
this smilin' land of asses milk and untame
honey, that nuthn' astir could poot 'em on
but the militia! That ar fact! Three cheer
for the militia in ginerel, and the 9999th regi
ment in pertickler. Sodgers! ground arms!
Who's afraid2 Whar's Mexiko, kaliforniko
and Oregon? Who's afeerd of them? Sod
gers! The mortal 9999th can thrash the lf
out of that ar yallar, half-Spanish varmint
that Mexko, any mornin' aforc breakfast. Ou
motto is, "Liberty and Death, no,c and forever
one and inseperabIen' Whooray for Mexas
Down with Texico! Let's lick her.
