For the Le,cisburg Chronicle.
Cotton and Faction,

Mr.. Editor: We read in the Chronicle
of 2Slh ult. two addresses-one on the sub
jec, Of Cotton Mills, and the product aris-
ing from proper system of Manufactur-
ing. in which we find combined common
sense, talent, and reasoning. which defy
refu,ation. II the capitalists of Lewisburg
and vicinity should pass it by indifferenily,
and without thorough investigation, they
will certainly expose a want Of energy, a
moral deficiency in enterprise, and disre
regard for the laboring class OF our rising
youth. together with contracted view Of
their pecuniary interests.
The other, To the Democracy oi Union
County," exhibits neither good sense nor
common honesty, for it assumes ground
which it denounces others for occupying.
We find in ii loud complaints against the
conduct Of those whom they should have
acted with, charging upon them spirit OF
disorganizing, and OF fac,ion-while at the
same time the authors Of the Address
admit they were in The minority in Conven-
ton. Now "!action" applies 10 all cases
10 the few dissenting from the many whose
cardinal principles are the same. but dil-
ierins merely in some minutia, or where
personal aggrandizement and mercenary
motives desire the asceDdency over popular
rights to subverl the honest action Of the
association to which they claim to belong.
whether it be moral, religious or political.
consider myself Democrat, and pre-
sumo the allegation has never been ques-
toned, for revere the landmarks Of her
principles as primiivesy taught, and desire
to practice them. Yet never felt it my
duty to depart from a proper exercise o.
my privileges by reason of difference ir
topinion from large portion Of my fellow,

Moral FoWer.
BY REV. EDWARD C. JONES.

Eagle Of The toilless pinion,
Upwards to thine eyre HE.
Mid the cIags where sounds the thunde
With its hoarest melody
Emblem of the daring spirit
When it wakes its latent might,
And for action dnubly harnessed
Battles sternly for the right.
Where the craven hearted Iinger,
And desponds the gloomy soul,
There the brave a, once Join issue,
And relentless fate control.
Who would warble out existence,
Like sorg bird in the bower.
Needless that he has within him
Elements of moral power!
Breaking on the shore of being.
Who would as the wavelet die,
When he could have won distinction
With the single heart to try!
Then be up, and dream no longer,
Manly purposes avow,
And with great designs accomplished
Bind the chaplet to thy brow.

The Pin and the Needle.

Lem Smith, the 'cute and philosophical
editor of the Madison Record, tells the fol.

anything we have seen out of E,op. A

and both being idle, began 10 quarrel, a.

Take Care of the Pence.

One of The hardest lessons for MANY OF
our young men TO learn, is that triie and
sterling doctrine Of Poor Richard. Take
care of the Pence, and the Pounds will take
care Of themselves" But, hard and dis
tasteful as it is, we must LEARN and rRAC-
.TIcE the maxim, or take the still harder
alternative Of poverty and want.
We have no inclination 10 teach any of
our readers lesson Of miserly meanness
or Iiuleness. The miserable Muck. rake
who consecrates his energies to the saving
Of the shreds and fragments and sweepinys
lha, lie in his path as an ultimate object, is
quite as pliabe being as the most prodi.
gal spendlhriIt. What we desire, is to save
the ihoughtless and wastelul from future
embarrassment, and trouble, by putting him
on course Of economy and care-takng
in his ordinary expenditures. This is all
that is necessary, and all we wish.
Hundreds Of young men. some of whom
may read this paragraph, might this day
have been IN possession Of a snug little for
tune, if they had simply dispensed with su-
pertluous indulgence during the time they
have been engaged rn!business. |, would
have cos, no sacrifice Of generous feeling.
or of responsibility Of character. and be-
sides the saVing Of money, it would have
been attended with The acquisition of h;.-
bit of minute economy, or precise attention
TO the small details Of daily business which
is itself worth more than money; which
is in truth the most productive kind Of cap
tal.
In this country, and as business is here
managed. a little capital gives young
man great advantage. especially il along
with II he possesses superior business tai
ent and habits. And the fact that he has
saved from a small INCOME snug little
sum in The course Of a few years, is itself,
pretty good evidence that he has the right
habits and abilities TO succeed well, and no
introduction or letters Of recommendation
can speak so loudly in his favor. At the
same time the buoyancy of mind and spir.
it which this advantage inspires in the
young adventurer himself, is oIten e mate
rial help to him in his future undertakings.
In every respec, he appears in favorable
contrast TO those other young men who,
though placed in circumstances equally ia.
vorable, have acquired no property, con.
tracted bad habits, and feel jaded and dis.
couraged by their uniruitiul toll.
1t has great and happy effect upor
ones own mind and energy, to feel that a
beginning is made-ihat foundation i.
laid to build upon-and if for no other rea
son, Tor this. every young man should lool
well 10 see what becomes Of his first earn
ings. 1t is comparatively easy to add tt
a stock, iio4s9e. sr,ais'; less easy to lhinl
Of beginning one.

to Keokuk, via Iowa city, it would make
the last named counties, star counties.
This improvement will doubtless be made
before long, as it is much agitated.
In a social and moral point of view.
Iowa is not behind, and in some particulars
is advance of Pennsylvania. Like every
other Part of the West that | visited. The
traveller is annoyed with the filthy smoke
pipe the atmosphere, in certain localities,
at certain hours Of the day, is made fully
as odorilerous by the fumes of this filthy
appendage to western geniility, as it would
be in The ne,ghborhood of the exploded
perlumery of a Skunk.
The educational arrangements in Iowa
are perhaps better than ours. A very
large fund is raised from donations OF pub
lie lands, the interest of which is used for
educational purposes, and thus the burthen
OF taxation for that purpose is avoided. In
a moral point Of view, am sorry that |
am also obliged 10 give the West and
especially Iowa, the preference. lntem-
perance is in great measure vanqulshed
saw but one Hotel or public house in The
State that sold liquor. The granting OF
license is prerogative Of The County Com
missioners, who are elected by the people;
and no man whose morals are sufficiently
tainted. 10 enable him to create such a
curse in the community in which he lives,
could have any chance of an election,
should one ever be found to desire it; hence
the determination of the legal 7! traffic. in
this terrible destroyer Of the human family.
My letter is much longer than | intended
it to be still, | dol not know how TO
abridge i: and do the subject justice. Should
I no, be fully understood on any topic. or
should any Of your intelligent readers de-
sire further information on the subject,
