What 100000 Nav Do.

The Montpelier (Vt.) Journal, in allud-
ing to the proposed Cotton Factory in Al
bany, says:
"a capital of 800, 900 is 10 give direct labor
TO 200 people. On the average, each one Of
those persons will support at least one more-as
wife or child; and so this moderate amount of
capital IS to add 400 to the population of Albany.
nor IS this all to have population Of 400,
buildings must be had-to build and furnish
these houses and clothe the inmates, mechanics
must be had to feed them, doctor them, educate
them and defend them, a new demand is made
for farmers, traders, doctors, teachers, lawyers
and---so forth and so on; all adding still more
10 the population and the business Of the place
where such factory is located.'
1t IS this cumulative influence of do
nestic manufactures, says contemporary.
which gives them their national Importance.
There are hundreds Of thriving cities and
villages IN this country which owe their
existence 10 manufactures. Is Il not bet
ter for the country that our people should
contribute to The support of these localities,
and the hundreds of thousands who inhabit
them, than that they should support like
number of towns and operatives in foreign
countries An honest answer to this
question is all lhat is required to secure an
admission Of the wisdom and utility of the
Wing doctrine Of protection.

THE CHoLrRA.-The cholera is prevailing to
considerable extent in New Orleans, and the
board Of health have issued proclamation urg-
ing upon the citizens caution in dress and diet,
although the disease has not yet assumed an ep-
idemic character. The whole number of inter
ments in the various cemeteries for the week
ending the 23d ult., was 224, of which l49 were
from cholera. The number Of deaths from
cholera on the 26th was ton.

Or two hundred and sixty-four removals in
the Departments at Washington since the
fourth of March, ls49, when Gen. Taylor
took the Presidential chair. In reply to a
question by Mr.. Dodge, of Iowa, Mr..
Smith said that he had obtained his infor-
nation from persons intimately acquainted
in the Departments and no doubt the
statement approximates the truth. This
statement has also been made in the House.
and thus far not a member Of Congress
has attempted to refute it.

To read the locofoco papers, every one
would suppose that none of that kith or
kin held office under Gen. Taylor. Tru-
man Smith of Connecticut has made some
inquiry into the matter, and in recent
speech in the United States Senate showed
that the number of clerks in the several
Departments on the 4,h March, lS49, were
thus distributed:

ES The Democrat suggests that provi-
sion be made for publishing the amendment
TO the Constitution in papers of both par
ties. This would be no more than right,
and we would like to see ample provision
made to carry out the measure. The Con-
stitution limits the Secretary of State to
one paper in each county, but of course
the legislature could appropriate funds to
have it published in two or three.

self on the progress " democracy" is ma
king, and cites Connecticut, Ohio, and
Kentucky as instances in which the people
reposed confidence in locofocoism as exhib-
tied in the recent elections. In Connect
cut and Ohio the locofocos have for some
years intrigued with the fag-ends of all
factions from Mormonism down to ultra
abolitionism, while in Kentucky it is closely
allied to slavery. At Washington, too,
Borland and Foote and Benton and Foote,

mornings ice was formed an eighth of an

THEY ALL BELONG TO NE.
BY ELIZA COOK.

There are riches without measures
Scattered thickly oer the land.
Their. are heaps and heaps of treasure,
Bright, beautiful, and grand;
There are forests, there are mountains,
There are meadows. there are rlls,
Forming everlasting fountains
In the bosoms Of the bills
There are birds, and there are flowers,
The Unrest things that be-
And those great and joyous dowers,
"oh They all belong to me-"
There are golden acres bending
In the light Of harvest rays,
There are garland branches bending
With the breath OF .Iunc's sweet days
There are pasture grasses blowing
In the dewy nioorland shade,
There are herds ofcat,e lowing
In the midst OF bloom and blade;
There are noble elms that quiver.
As the gale comes full and free,

And they all belong 10 me-"

The wheat piled up IN sacks.
Nor who has power 10 beckon

Nor who may count the tleeces

While there's beauty none can barter
BY the greensward and the tree
Clam who will by seal or charter,
Yet"ihey oil belong to me"
There's the thick and dingled cover
Where the hare and pheasant play.
There are sheets ofrosy clover,
There are hedges crowned with May,
There are vines, all dark and gushin,.,
There are orchards ripe and red,
There are herds OF wild deer crushing
The heath beds as they trend.
And ye, who count in money
The value these may be,
Your hives but hold my honey.
For they all belong 10 me-"
Ye cannot shut the tree in,
Ye cannoi hide the bills,
Ye canuo, wall the sea in,

With the common wind, or die.
