SUPPORT YOUR OwS.--It should be the
object ofevery citizen to support home man
ufacture-that is, patronize the Mechanics
and Business men Of the town in which we
reside. 1t is the only true basis Of success,
and when departed from, the cause Of a
slow growth Of town will not be difficult
to solve. Our own Mechanics and Bust
ness men, should always come in first tor
home patronage. The effects Of such n
course would be benefclsIly felt by all. 1t
is true, that 10 some cases, we must ray a
triae more than similar articles can be pur-
chased for abroad but even by doing this,
we will feel the good effects upon ourselves:
because it will be keeping the circulating
medium in our own midst-make all

ment to our own Mechanics instead Of those
abroad, in cities-increase the prosperity
Of the place, and make us feel Independent

most. s 3
The French presses publish conflicting re.

CAUSE AND EFFECT.

The success which has attended the erec-
ton of the Lancaster Cotton Factory has
served as a stimulant to arouse the ener-
gies of some of the neighboring towns, and
efforts are now making at various places to
establish the loom and the spindle. Lam
caster city, though located in the midst Of
the richest and best agricultural districts in
the Union, has been for ten or fifteen years
past almost stationery ; scarcely any i'm
provement of any kind being visible
About two years since large Cotton mill
was established. Its success induced the
commencement of another which is finished
and about being put into operation. And
now within few weeks, they have con-
cluded upon erecting the third. The re-
suit of all this is that new life and vigor has
been infused among her citizens, and five OF
six hundred houses will be erected in the
course of the present year.
The Farmer, Merchant, Mechanic and
Laborer, all will be benefited. What g
beautiful commentary is this upon the
croakings of those political juglers, who
through prejudice and ignorance look upor
and condemn all Manufacturers, as inimica
to the interests of the people.

THE CANADIANS.

A letter from Toronto, published in the
Rochester IN. W Democrat, thus speaks OF
the feeling of the people OF Canada.
believe the time TO have arrived when
annexation could be effected, if it depended
upon the majority of Canadians. have
come to this conclusion by mixing with all
classes of society, and by close observation.
You cannot enter the house of any well in
formed man in Canada, and broach the sub
ject of politics, but annexation is spoken OF as
a cure for all our present misfor,unes, and
the fact is, that until we have annexation.
we shall have no peace. no prosperity nor
safety in this Province.
A Montreal correspondent of the New York
Tribune some time since said, "My impres.
sion is that in three years hence Canada will
be portion of your Republic. The British
portion of our people are most eoger for an
nexa,ion." He might have said that the
whole population are eager for it, French as
well as British, as the fact of there being
two French newspapers in the Lower Pro-
vince now canvassing the question will bear
me out The fact is, there are not more
than hree.fourths of the population OF this
Province who would at this present moment
sign petition to be annexed. The ball,
however, is not yet set in motion, but when
it is, and hope and trust it may be shortly,
you will see that it is not political question,
but the general wish of the Province, tex
cept few of those who have once lived il,
the States, and have found it convenient to
leave.) We shall, however, obtain it quietly,
and without appeal to brute force, the fac,
being that no one would need forcing-we G
will do it by petition, by vote; it will be
made a question at the next hustings, and
members will then be returned who are fa-
vorablc TO annexation. We will accomplish
it by any means which we can--we cannot
will not live as we are; we arc too far from
the Mother Country, and to become an Indie.
pendent Republic we live too near one who
has and will continue to have very great ad
vantaoes over us. We must therefore be an
neXed, and be the means Of adding few
more stripes and stars to the glorious banner
of the Republic"
