CONSISTENCY The follJwing resolution
was unanimously adopted at the "Barnburn-

been reported by a committee OF which John
Van Buren, and Gen. Goult Were members:

but a man Of great mental and moral power,
and whose lille has given evidence OF a strong
head, an honest heart, and a republican sim

know why Mr.. V. B. voted for such a resolu-
ton in February, when in June following he
spoke of Gen. T. in his speeches in the most
disparaging terms. In February Prince John
expected TO support Gen. Taylor; in Juae he

Dlminished Prices, A writer in Hunts
Magazine says, when he commenced trade in
ms Country, many years ago. he sold Eng
lisa chintz prints for 65 cents a yard, and a
servant girl received for wages fifty cents per
week, aud raid 81 for a dress pattern, now a
glHi gets 81 10 81 per week, and vet can pur.
chase a f%rst-ra;e article..fora dress at eighteen
crnts per yard. This change he attributes to
the increase of population, improvement ia
machinery, particularly the invention of the
spIndies, competition, manufacturing our own
8 'Jds, and substituting capital for credit.
