American manufacture, is passing off we'll and

little CALLING to some of the Free Trade mem.
bers OF Congress, who are forced 10 endure the
evidence, that with proper Tariff, America
can be independent of foreign Manufacturers,
and that our own manufacturers can supply the
country with better and cheaper articles. On
the Goth ult aluson was made, in the House,
10 the exhibition, in not very friendly terms,
which drew out Mr.. Stewart OF this State. o.
iver Old School says -" Mr.. Stewart poured
broad side of hot shot into Mr. Payne. He
told him that The exhibition of American fab
RIGS was ridiculed because the fabrics were
american and not British. That had they been
British fabrics they would have been ex,oled
by the free traders TO The skies. That a Brit
ish agent could come here and occupy one Of
the Committee rooms in the Capitol, to exhibit
British manufactures, and it was all right men,
bers rushed into the room TO see how much
cheaper and better British goods were than
American. There was no ridicule there, no ;
il was all right, it wa. an argument in favor Of
the reduction of The tariff; bu, when American
manufacturers, whose fabrics had been misrep-
resented, undertook 10 show the world what
they had done and were doing under The fos-
tering protection Of the tariff of '42 when they
presented their manufactures here 10 show ,ha,

NEWS FROM CHIHUAHUA.

A letter was received In this city yesterday from
chihuahua, dated on the 2lst OF September last IL
pane by way of New Orleans, aud conveys later
intelligence than had reached Us by way Of Santa
fe The writer, who belongs % thia city, says thar
on the reception OF the Of the capture of santa
re by the American troops, mob collected, and
drove all the foreign residenla from the city, or
rather gave them notice TO leave 10 wenty -four hours
Tor rancho about eighty miles distant In a westerly
direction. This action of the mob was precipitated
by the imprudent conduct Of Dr. Wislenus, who
had travelled with the wagons Of A, Speyer az far
as the Passo del Norte, but concluded that he
would leave them at that place, and push ahead for
Chihuahua. He arrived there just about the time
OF the reception OF the news Of General Kearny's
entry into Santa Fe-put up at the Fonda, or inn
for strangers, and requested permission Of the own
ers to re OIL his arms in the yard they had been
loaded ever since he left Independenoe. Leave was
granted, and he discharged about twenty guns.
This firing was mistaken by the Mexicans for
rejoicings OF the Americans; and company Of hfty
men waited upon the governor, and requested per-
mission TO punish them instantly, but he would suf-
Ter no violence, and advised the foregners-Amer-
cans-,o leave the city. The doctor was taken a.
spy, was not suffered to leave his room for eight
days, but at the end Of that time obtained permis-
sion to 90 to the rancho, where the other foreigners
were located.

We have received the following letter from a gen.

give it as il is written-desrng to correct our error

democrat. "
"CASTos, Ono, Nov. 81, 1876.
"DER SIR: In the Union Of the l4th perceive, in
your classification Of the next House Of Representa-.
tves,' you have set down for the 18th congressoaa
district of Ohio, Samuel Lahm, democrat This
my dear sir, is great mistake, you will infer when
| assure you that he received the undivided federal
vote in the district, declared principles, which
agreed with those Of the federal candidate for gov
ernor in this State, and the candidate Of the same
party for State Senate in this county. His declared
principles were also approved by the federal papers
Of the district and State in all respects, including
the tariff, river and hArbor veto, and The indepen-
dent treasury. If such sentiments constitute MIR.
Lahm democrat, then you right; if not, you
are in error, and your article will misead honest
democrats in other parts Of the United States. as
sure you, that in claiming Mr.. Lahm as demo-
crat, you are doing both him, and the federaists
who elected him, great injustice. His course
during the canvass on the stump, and in the federal
papers, was one Of the most foul abuse Of the demo.
Gratis, and at the same time he advocated such doc
trnes met the entire appreciation of the federal

The American squadron was exercising rigid
surveanee along the coast, ordering off all Yucca

ports between Tabasco and the Rio Grande, the en-
tire line having been declared under blockade
IL appears that Campeachy and Laguna arc In

Of YucataD, while Merida is equally bent upon &C.
curing the union Of that State 10 Mexico. Since the
prontneiansio in Merida Of the 25th Of August, de-
claring the remuneration accomplished great discon
tent has prevailed in Campeachy and Laguna. In
both these towns the disadeclon augmented until the
citizens, by common consent, agreed 10 repudiate
the eonnexlon, and raise the flag Of Yucatauese in
dependence. Merida, II seems, is the principal Gus
toner OF Mexico, and will reap many advantages
from the removal Of all commercial restrictions up
on the entrance Of her products into Mexican ports
Hence shells particularly interested 10 etiectiog the n
corporation OF fucatan into the republic. On the 9TH
err hand, Campeachy and Laguna haye no such inter
ess at stake, but fear the suspension and total de-
struction Of their large foreign by block

private letters which we have perused state that in
Campeaehy, Is In contemplation TO raise and
equip an armed force OF two thousand men for the
purpose OF marching on Merida and compelling
that refractory and intracabe town to desist from It's
isolated position, and to come into the policy OF
CamPeachy and Laguna--a policy by which the
Independence ofthe province will be insured and its
consequent neutrality will enle It's flag to respect
This Is the true statement Of the case, far as we
have been enabled to gather il from attentive in
