MANUFACTURES TExAs.-The San Antonio
(Tcxas) Ledger of the Odd utimo urges warmly
the establishment of cotton factory at that place.
1t states that the best cotton in the Union is raised
ON the spot; that there is permanent water power
sufficient to drive one hundred thousand spindles
and that Texas alone will furnish market for all
that can be manufactured, besides the great demand
that exists throughout northern Mexico. Lowell
sheetings are now selling in the interior of Texas
for three hundred per cent. advance on the manu-
facturer's prices at Lowell. A charter for man
ufacturing company has been obtained by some Of
the citizens of San Antonio.

from Great Britain, the country had the small
est ability for expenditure in the materials of
clothing. II is precisely this proposition which
the friends of the protective policy have been all
along maintaining; and now that the advocates
of what they call free trade are trying To show
the same thing, we may conclude with honest
Dogberry, that lit will come near TO be thought
80 shortly"
Moreover, if il be true that the ''entire con-
sumption Of cotton in the United States is de-
rived from home productions" if the people of
this country can purchase only that amount of
cotton goods which they are permitted TO man
ufacture themselves, it follows, as necessary
consequence, that il is vital interest of the
cotton planter to favor the policy which en-
courages hons production. Within twenty
years, according To the above computation of
the Union's correspondent, they have in
creased their power to pay for cotton four-iod.
They are increasing in population more rapid
ly than any other people, and their average
ability TO purchase cotton fabrics increases more
rapidly than their number-the one having
doubled in twenty years, while the latter re-

In a late number of the London Economist

editor says:

Europe. the people dirty, fetid, and diseased,
from wearing unchanged wooens or untanned
sheepskins."
Is it TO obtain the privilege of clothing such
people, that the planters ought to surrender the
right to supply our own miners, our own IRON
| workers, and our own manufacturers
| In the same article, the Economist, after
stating that many Of the Northern mills have
stopped, proceeds ID give the reason in the fol-
lowing words: ''There is not enough of other
things produced to pay for the excessive pro-
duction of manufactured cottons in the States
They have therefore fallen much in price"

There is less coal produced, many of the
woollen mills are closed, and therefore the
cotton mills must stop We have ceased to
build mills, or furnaces, or steam engines, and
to open mines. The Economist sees that,
when ''there is not enough of other things
produced" the manufacture of cotton becomes
excessive, and, by the showing Of the Union's
correspondent, its growth becomes excessive in
precisely the same proportion.

A bit Of Panic spoiIe a.

The New York Courier and Enquirer having acct
dcntally stated that, I" from some unaccountsble
cause, the amount Of foreign immigration has ex.
perienced within the present month a sudden and
unexpected decrease" the Washington Republic
seized the occasion to prove the country ruined
by the low rate Of the tariff
Unfortunately for these con illusions, the New
York Tribune, a jealous protcctionist, in an acct
dental paragraph knocks tho premises Of the logic
over, by showing that immigration, 80 far from
having decreased, has increased ~ per cent. II
says
ssTbc arrivals in May were a, 900, or nearly
5000 more than in the same month last year; the
deaths for five weeks, from April ~ TO June 1,
this year, ,205; for the corresponding month
in l549, not reckoning cholera, ,46l; decrease Of
mortality this year, 81 per cent.-iscRrAsr OF EN-
IGRATIos, IL per cent May, this year, has been
remarkable for peculiar health and UNEXAM-
Piled MIGRATION"
Messieurs Of the Atlas, this will not do.
The very paragraph from the Courier and En-
q,nrer which we quoted and commented upon,
stated the emigration for the month of May
Just as il is stated in the extract, from the Tribune,
which you now produce with the air Of one
who has discovered fact which we either
were ignorant Of, or suppressed. IL was the
remarkable falling off in the numbers Of emf
grants for the month Of June 10 which the
Enquirer invited attention, and for which we
endeavored TO give the cause. There has been
similar decline, il would appear, at other
ports. as well as at New York. We find. in a
New York free-trade paper, a letter from It's
correspondent at Philadelphia, dated June rs,
which says:
''The falling off in foreign immigration has oc-
cssioned serious embarrassment at the Philadel-
phia emigrant Office, TO which place farmers resort
at this season Of the year for laborcrs. These APP
plications have been unusually numerous this sea
son, and consequently there has been much disap-
pointment."

The republic. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1849-1853, 1850-06-28

This is the bill, told, which is TO silence all
agitation Of the slavery question, and restore
and harmony to distracted and bleeding coun-
try" This is downright deception. The Union
counts upon a reputation Of the proviso and the
careful supervision ofCongress for many years, to
the introduction Of slavery into the Terrific
ries, and it presumes upon the quiet acquiescence
of the North while the Territories undergoing
the proper training for becoming slave States II is
idle to suppose that such scheme will put an end
to agitation and discussion upon this question.
While the STAKEHOLDER is earnestly engaged in the
effort TO extend slavery, the people of tho North
will be just firm in opposing it's extension as
they II Congress desired to devise a
scheme for continuing agitation, wescarcely know
what one could have been thought of which would
have been half efficient in keeping up sectional
agitation

the directly opposite effects claimed for the

From the Rochester Daily Democrat.

The great merit claimed for the Omnibus bill,
before the Senate, is, that it will 'give peace
to distracted country" The Washington Union
claims that nine tenths of the people Of the South
in favor of it, and it is making the most siren
efforts to persuade the other tenth to rally in
its favor, and thus secure for it unanimous sup
port in that section of the Union The Hunker pa
pers here, with the most brazen effrontery, make
similar declarations in regard to public sentiment
at the North. 1t may be that the small number of
political managers who hover around these papers,
and who modestly assume that their opinions are
the opinions of the people, are in favor Of this
schemes but if they ever take the trouble to visit
the "rural DISTRICTS they will find the masses
everywhere against them.
1t is not surprising that the readers of the
Washington Union at the South, and Of the Albany
Argus at the North, should favor the Omnibus bill
They arguments adapted to different localities.
We happen to have before a specimen of each
one claiming that the compromise makes New
Mexico and large part of Texas free territory; the
other, that this same measure opens the Terrific
ries to the settlement of shareholders with their
property equally with others" We place them in
parallel columns, that the reader may the more
readily see how they conflict with each other:

United States To the public domain, shall not tar
non. residents hi CHER than residents, &c.
The senator had taken the position that when
California admitted, ss n sovereign State, with
out having been bound by solemn compact, then
by virtue Of her sovereignty she would hold the
public domain. He did not consider the sove-
reignty of the States was such would be implied
from the Senator'S argument. But even IL the
States sovereign TO the extent which the SEN
stor supposed, there the sovereignty Of the
United States And " the territory were to become
the property VI the sovereign power, which would
prevail the sovereignty Of the State, or the soye-
regnty Of the United StatesS He thought the sove-
reigniy Of the General Government the greater.
This doctrine Of State sovereignty, and the implied
right OF the new States 70 the public domain within
its limits, was not new. IL was here sorne twenty
years ago. n. met II when he fret entered the
Senate. II had been argued, exploded, and forget
ten until il wss now brought in again by the Sen
ator from Louisiana. Ia 1929, the Legislature
of Indiana passed a resolution that that State be-
ins n soyer sign government, all the lands within
her limits her property. She instructed
her Represen tatves and Senators in Congress
70 maintain and 10 defend her rights. Those
Senators did 90. One Of them, Mr. Hendricks,
endeavored TO engrsft on a bill for graduating
the price Of the public lands, provision securing
the alleged rights Of Indiana. That Senator, and q
gentleman from Alabama. who now holds seat
on the bench Of the Supreme Court, held the same
grounds now occupied by the Senator from Louis

He maintained that the public lands all were the
property Of the United States, and IA much within
their control tho property in State owned by
person, who might be citizen Of another State,
was under that persons control.
He cited the case Of New Jersey, where all the
public land was held not by the State, but by board
Of proprictors. like state Of affairs existed in

affected the right Of those proprictors. He read
