We conceive it to be a duty of the
citizens Of every town, 10 encourage their
own Mechanics; and we heartily concur
IN the observations Of contemporary. that
the disposition cannot be too much re.
buked, let itexist in everytownit may, to
send to distant places for products, which
could be equally well furnished by the
mechanics oftheir own town. This will
apply 10 nations as well as towns. No
one thing can be more positively iniu-
rious TO the real interest of a town than to
go over the heads of its mechanics, and
buy elsewhere. Ii takes out ofthe plIce
money which justly belongs at home.
1t discourages aud drives away homes,
and entcrprising mechanics. Itprevents
them from advancing in prosperity, so as
to add 10 the success Of their own town.
Wherever You see poor mechanics. you
WILDE very sure to see a poortown. The
prosperity of both are identified.
We regret 10 believe hat there are
people who think that no article can be
good for any thing, unless it be an impor-
ted one. Such persons are enemies to
the " in which they live. They
do what they can 10 retard its progress,
and discourage its citizens 1t is wholly
wrong unjust and foolish. Every real
friend to the place in which he lives
shonld do all he can 10 encourage its me
chanics, and he who has a correct con-
cePtion of the duties of a neighbor and a
true American citizen, will ever take
pleasure in doing so, and not run after
everything that is foreign. from the fool
ish idea that by so diving it renders him a

Passing from the Office of the Prison

Hill and Broad street. one day last week,
seeking a place for a poor child whose
mother is in prison and whose father is
dead. noticing the poor dwellings and
seeing some of the wretched inhabi-
tants, the thought came 10 my mind that
| seldom found persons in our Jail from
that part of the city. l was perplexed to
know why it was SO. Meeting soon af-
ter the police officer who was stationed
in that neighborhood, | observed to him
that | seldom found persons in Jail from
his district, and that probably he did not
have much to do, He o explained to
me why it was so. He informed me that
when he was first stationed there. he
took a list of all the poor families, and of
their number of children. He then gave
them good advice. If they were in want
he assisted them; Intoxicated he had a
room to which he took them, and KEEP
them until they became quiet and sober
Last Thanksgiving week he collected one
hundred and sixty-6ve dollars, purchased
provisions, and distributed them among
the poor. The natural consequence o.
this generous course has been, that thel
look upon him as a friend, benefactor ant
father. Not one of them has ever insult
ed him, or even given him a saucy word
and he has been among them a year
Seldom has he any occasion to con6n,

Emigration 10 Liberia.

DALIlMOhE, supp y, 1Of''
The Liberia packet sailed on her Sec
ond voyage this morning at IL o'clock.
She carried out eighty Immigrants, mostly
from this State & Virginia. At 10 o'clock
religious services were performed on
board by the Rev. Mr.. Payne, "a colored
man, the pastor Of the Bethel Church of
this city, which were attended by a large
concourse of people, who appeared great
ly interested. The packet has a full
cargo of freight, and was not able to take
all that was offered She more than
meets our most sanguine expectations
If no untoward event occurs betwhen
this and the close of her first year, the
managers will be able to declare a very
handsome dividend to the stockholders.
The influence which she is exerting up
on the colored population is also very m
couraging. During the last forty-eight
hours some twenty persons in this city
offered themselves as Immigrants, oil
whose intentions nothing had beon pre-
viously known.
We expect the packet to return in time
to sail on her third voyage on the LIST day
Of January, 1s4s. Yours respectfully.

repetitions, those dlscussive generaIities
