1t is stated tina, 100000 yards Of cot
ton cloth are made at Lowell. Mass. a
week. amounting to 63,60o.ooO yards per
year. SiXtv-iive thousand bales OF cotton
are worked up annually. OF printed cal
leo, there are made 100000 yards per
wear. In these manufactures. one mil
lion pounds of starch are annually used.
Sun.
One million pounds Of starch annually!
and that too at the ''manutactures" of a
single town! From this, some idea may
be formed of the immense quantity OF
wheat it must require to supply these es-
adjustments with starch. TO say nothing
of the quantity that must be consumed by
the operatives. And yet it is denied tina,
the manufactures Of this country are an
advantage to the agricultural interest and
the idea is rdiculed that in proportion as
we foster and protect them. in the same
proportion we supply home market for
the surplus produce ofthe farmer.

A Noble Answer.

"7he Union, Sir. eren tcifh fAe VIZ
mot Proriso." Such was the answer OF
Mr. Morehead, Of kentucky. TO the cues.
ton put to him in the Southern convention,
whether he would sustain the Union il the
Wilmot Proviso should be passed with
reference TO our new territories. Noble
sentiment; honor TO him who uttered it;
and praise 10 God over oil. who dictates
right thoughts and orders the hearts OF
men as he pieases. Ii required no very
special prophetic wisdom to be certain,
that the .commi,tee OF fifteen" and the
Convention, included firm and sober minds
which would he check upon those who
might talk of weighing the profits Of sla-
very against the loss Of bro,herly concord
in this great Republic. So it has proved.
may ask my felcw-corn.ryman who be-
lieve that upon God depends our countrv's
continued peace and progress. to mark
how God in his providence has stationed
throughout the South. these advocates Of
moderate counsels-Mr. Clayton, for ex-
ample. in Delaware, Mr.. Morehe ad and
Mr.. Underwood. in Kentucky. Mr.. Berri-
en- and Mr.. Stephens, in Georgia. Mr..
Rusk and Mr. Houston, in Tercs.
The Union, Sir, eren Nth the VII
mot Proriso!" Let this sentence from
the lips Of Southern man. whose resi-
dence and property lie in a slave State. be
written in golden lines. Let i, live long
after the dissolution Of the brief Conven-
ton which gave occasion for its uttcrance
In all future time, let its spirit Of true pat
riotism glow in the bosoms not only Of our
Southern brethren but Of all our citizens,
North and South, when clashing interests
;hre aten the union Of these United States
No; the God Of our fathers watches over
us. and there are too many right minds
fully made up, in this favored land. TO al
low any man to talk successfully Of break
ing our union, even when slavery is tho
theme. In the words Of the motto Of Vir-
ginia We say Deus nobis hec''-and in
those Of the English Bible. we add. Thou
hast been our help, leave US not. neither
