THg FoREIGN ORGAN.--This name has
been very justly applied by the Wash
iDgt"n RePpJiic IN the Washington Union.
Every difficulty that arises, as difficulties
continually must arise between our own
government and any foreign power. is
seized by the Union as an OCCASION for
placing our own govenmeutint in the wrong,
and the iureign country in The right. 1t
matters not what may be the cause of the
difficulty; it canno, be too slight for pre-
text, and it cannot be too grave for an ex-
hibtion nf partisan violence; and as tho
same tone is taken in every instance, the
Union is saved the necessity Of examin-
ing into the course Of The administration
which it denounces. or of the foreign gov
ernment which it praises The same
phrases of abuse answer for every case,
and the same articles. with very little va
ration, are republished over and over a
gain whenever an issue is presented be-
tween our own and a foreign government

BooT AND Shoe CONVENTION. --Boot
and Shoe makers must look out. In these
days of Conventions and improvements,
it will surprise none that Convention
of the above caption has been held. The
place was New York, and The object
division of labor. Instead of one man
making an entire boot or shoe, there will
be some fifteen or twenty, each one hav-
ing his own department. The following
facts we're elicited: ...l I '"
One man cuts out the sole the shape
of the foot by single stroke Of an in
strument, and by anotherstroke the edge
is pared; another man puts on the in-sole.
another puts on the van, another drives
the pegs, and so on. One of the speak
ers spoke Of boy, twelve years of age,
in Marlborough, Massachusetts, who com
menced to peg in April, and from the lst
to the 14th Of June earned at the rate Of
$12 per month, and on the 18th he earn
ed at the rate of SIS and his board, hav-
ing pegged thirty pairs in one day. He
mentioned an instance ofanother hoy, in
New Haven, who ,pegged eleven pairs
day for his schooling and boarding, and
on Saturday, when there was no school,
he pegged thirty pairs. In one ofthesc
factories Frenchman was able to earn
$35 per month and his board, by putting

COUNTY SUBscRIPTIoN.--The project
of County subscriptions for public and
general improvements meets with favor
among practical men. AS we have said
long since, there is more equality in
them than in State subscriptions where
local improvements are to be constructed
They also begin to meet with favor a
mong capitalists. The Cincinnati Atlas,
its editor man of sound sense and good
judgment, says on this subject: .. . ODD
County subscription is new variety
of credit, applied to the erection of pub
lie works. Some persons think unfavor-
able ofthem. We are of a different mind
We believe there have been no bonds is
sued to the public more stable, more sure
to be paid, and more worthy Of the con-
fidence Of capitalists, than those of coun-
ties. Were we buying public credits in
the markets, we should prefer the bonds
ofa county to those ofeilher State Or city
and that for reason. The tax necessary
to pay the interest is but slight one. 1t
is voted by the people on the spot, un-
derstandingly. The bonds are offered
for property which can be sold TO pay
them. In fine, there is every element
of sound credit, in county bonds, offered
for railroads. .'.t

times in q bad cause. Just now he is
engaged in two projects-to prevent the
extension of slavery and TO construct the
gre at American Railroad. In the former
he meets with much opposition and is
forced to the use of all his talent and en-
ergy; but this does not prevent him from
taking an occasional view Of the other.
He attended the late Railroad Conven.
ton at St. Louis, and it is said made an
excellent speech. The following is the
conclusion ofhis address. 1t pretty fair
ly indicatas the character ofthe speaker.
"Let us rise ourselves up Let us rise
to the grandeur Of the occasion. Let us
complete the grand design of Columbus
by putting Europe and Asia into commu.
nication, aud that to our advantage,
through the heart of our own country.
Let us give to his ships, converted into
cars, a continued course, unknown to all
former times. Let us make the iron road
and make it from sea to sea, States
and individuals making it east of the Mis-
sississippi. the nation making it west.
Let US now in this convention, rise above
every Thing sectional, personal, local
Let us beseech the National Legislature
to build the great road upon the great
national line which suits Europe and
Asia--the line which will find, on oui
continent, the Bay of San Francisco a,
one end, St. Louis in the middle, the ma
tional metropolis. and great csnmercia
emporums at the other--and which shal
be adorned with its crowning honor, the
colossal statue of the great Columbus
whose design it accomplishes, hewn from
the granite mass of peak Of the Rocky
Mountains, overlooking the road--the
