1fr. Editor:--I regret TO find that instead
of preserving your usual character for good
nature, you have allowed your choler-ic feel.
ngs to be aroused, and have been rnfled.--
| Why! Because, forsooth, we, ladies have as
| suHcd more OF the garments of the self-styl-
ed "lords of cfeatiou'' than they have been
pleased to allot to US. Now, AIr. Editor, it
has been the privilege of all married ladies',
from time immemoral, TO wear the garment
Injs-called by some unn,e,Aionablss. / do not
soc any mpropricty or ndelicacy in calling,
things, by their right name and I so say, the
ladies', by prescription from anteleluvian ages
have acquired the right to wear the breeches,
and have done SO, in despite the potent strug-
giles OF their ioorser-halres, and without
ty. Will, now. If they may wear the breech-
cs, why may the single ones not assume the
other portions OF the garb which men wear,
they have as good right to collars, cuffs,
rufiles and false bosoms as men have, and
see no reason why they may not wear Conts
and Vests-Sacks have been given up to
them already, from their peculiar right to
give the Sack to any who may be hardy
enough to address them. Indeed, Mr. Editor
'shy should there he difference iu the dress
OF man and woman! Distinctions are inridi
ous In the pristine days of our primeval
parents there ~as no dissensior, and happily
they logged through life together until the
evil iiend, in the shape of the serpent, wh.s-
Pored into the ear of this loving couple that
they were not equal. ], hIr. Editor, have
been accustomed all my life to do jus; as |
please, no matter what Pa, or MA say, so
tel! you, sir, you may ridicule our wearing
tnc other garments OF men, and ,ce can make
shift ,oithout Mem,' but can assure yo,, we we
will all die by the breeches

The increase of manufacturing in the
South, Is exciting great congratulation among
tne people and press OF that section of the
Union We ale right glad TO see an enter
SO we'll Our only wonder in past times has
been that the South should trust al,oretLer
to other markets than her own for manufacture
es, when her capacity for creating them is
great and unquestioncd. There is no reason
why cotton and wool should not be worked
into fabrics on southern snii, where the. are
grown, rather than sent thousands o! miles.
and brought back i'm cloths, at loss OF double
transit. Besides there is much material
which the South can manufacture with profit,
which cannot find market elsewhere, The
refuses ol her cotton, sufficient to make all
her negro cloths, is of this kind. There is
capital enough in the South, md nothing is
wanting to put it in manufacturing motion,
but cnterprise.-N y. Sun 2lM inst.
