man TO his friend in this town, dated the 10Th

therein expressed, we sec not how any intel-
gent mind can avoid fully acquiescing
Manufacturing of all kinds is shockingly
poor this season. do not look for much i'm
provement at present If GEN TAYLOR is
elected President we shall probably get more
protective tariff and have better times. IL he
is defeated, our manufactures unaided as they
will be by any protective Legislation cannot be
sustained unless they are placed by the force
of capital alone on such footing as will give
us exclusively our own markets This can be
accomplished only by cieapening materially
the cost Of production. There must be
heavy reduction of wages and the rate of inter-
est, general dimunition in the value of com
modities and real estate, an utter disregard of
educational advantages and personal comfort
among the operatives; in short, every one
connected with the business must become more
and more automatic, and less and less quail
fled to uphold and transmit our free republican
institutions Can it be possible that free,
generous and intelligent people will voluntari-
ly impose upon themselves such disabilities,
and consent to retrograde in this age of pro-
gress! God forbid trust benghted Loco.

RECEPTION OF THE RANK AND FLE.-Tkc
y. Y. Mirror has an article on the reception
Of the New York Volunteers at Fort Hamilton
from which we quote as follows
" The four companies of New York Volun-
tcers were landed from the Edith at Fort Ham
ton, yesterday afternoon, and we have seldom
witnessed anything which brought more pain
fully Ia mind the ngrattude of Government
! The poor fellows were not only without decent
food and clothing, but there was no provision
made for their reception, and they were COM
PEELED to go from the deck of a crowded ship
aud pitch their tents on the wet ground, about
mile from the landing.
They were entirely destitute of money, and
poor pork and biscuit would have been their
only supper, had not few of the benevolent
gentlemen boarding at the Hamilton House,
taken compassion on the poor war-worn and
sea sick soldiers. A purse was made up, and
a wagon load of potatoes, bread cheese, onions,
pipes tobacco, &c, sent over 10 them, which
was received by as hearty and grateful cheers
as ever issued from the lips of men.
"We don't know exactly who we censure
in this matter, but while the officers are feasted
land fetcd to surieltng Oh their return, II is a
burning shame to turn the poor soldiers out
to grass, like worn out horses to starve. The
gentlemen who had the happiness of contribut-
ing to the necessities of those poor fellows last
night, will remember the circumstance as one
Of the most agreeable rccollections Of their
lives"

NIAGARA SUSPENSION BRIDGE.-NARRow
ESCAPE
We must acknowledge that we have read the
aceoun, lately published in this and other papers,
of crossing the chasm over the Niagara river in
a basket drawn OH single wire, and more re-
Gently Of persons passing from one cliff to the
other on foot by the temporary bridge lately
completed, with feeling that we at least should
not be willing to make either experiment 1t
was with little surprise, therefore, that we
read the following narrative in the Buffalo
commercial Advertiser of Tuesday -
We learn that a thrilling scene occurred at
the suspension bridge at Niagara Falls ycster-
day afternoon. Four men were passing over
the bridge when II was struck with one OfthCso
sudden and strong gusts Of wind which ire-
quently rush through the chasm with the tre-
mendous force of a hurricane, and so Tvs lsted
it as to turn it bottom upward. The men caught
in the wires and IN this position, suspended
about 200 feet above tho restless waters be-
neath--thcy were cnabled to maintain them
selves until the alarm was given at the Falls
a mile aud half distant-and the whole pop
ulatiOn IN body rushed to the rescue. The
bridge was restored To It's former position and
the men saved We have not learned the par
ticulars, but can well imagine the deep sensa-
ton of the spectators. as well as those whose
lives hung upon thread as it were, during
the time which interviewed between the accident
and the rescue.

The movement in new York.


A large meeting has recently been gotten up
in the city of New York by DISCONTINUED Wings
and friends of Mr.. Van Buren,. Although Mr..
Clay was nominated as their candidate for Presi-
dent, yet it was without any expectation Of bene-
fitting him, but purely for the purpose of defeat
ing the candidates of the Wing party. Willis
Hall, who presided over the meeting, and those
who got it up are committed in favor of Mr.. Van
Buren,, and TO aid him was this movement made.
But Of the tens of thousands of Wings in the
state whose hearts are with Mr. Clay, The Albany
Evening Journal is of opinion that There arc few
who can he drawn away from their duty by this
spccious but unworthy PROCLAMATION of his name.
From this side movement, the Journal infcrs
that the direct efforts of Messrs. Hall, White,
Seldcn, Davis, &c. to besule the Wings into.the
support of Nj. Van Bursn have not been success.
full; and hence the attempt TO divide party whose
integrity and faith was tempted in vain. But the
Jrurna says, this effort to disorganize the Wings
will prove equally abortine. The spirit of revenge
when the country is to be the victim, will find
little sympathy in Wing bosoms.
We are not able to perceive, in any Of the
New York movements, any appearances dscou'
raging 10 the Wings.
