Gen. Scott.

At the great Union meeting in New York, on
Monday evening, there being loud calls for Gen
Scott from all parts of the room, the gallan: he
70 OF LunJy's Lane and Mexico, after appropri-
aIely acknowledging the compliment, spoke as
follows =

all patriots OF our widely spread, our beloved
country against the Union which enshrnes ali

on which alone our future hopes can rest We
can see no good reaults from such convention

rem, in the beautiful language of Governor Crit

we will now admonish our eastern friends, If the
sad day shall ever come when this glorious Uni

would leave it, she must expect to leave it alone

25 to 80 I-3 per cent. below the cost of existing

The Administration and SIapery.-The Mobile
(Ala.) Tribune, speaking OF the late Message of
the President in regad to California says,
"The Message, we think, is not calculated to
be at all satisfactory, and TOR this reason. The
knew very well that the great majority of the
people of California were opposed to Slavery, and
that 10 aid them in adopting Constitution was
in effect aiding and stimulating them to exclude
Slavery from the territory. By leaving the mat
ter 10 the action of Congress, the result might
have been an adjustment by which the South
would have obtained share, if not the WHOLE of
the territory for Slavery. As it is now, we con-
slider the California Convention the work of the
Administration, and we do not see how, Justly,
it can be considered in any other light"

Brandon Post, and other Free Democracy papers

MANUFACTURES.

Some otherwise very clever people suppose
that the manufacturing business ID over-d done In
this country, AID especially in New England 1t
is very great and very mischievous mistake
Observe the statements as to ,Coolens, which we
are in the habit Of attaching to the report OF the
New York Wool Market: the value of foreign
,oool,n, imported into New York is more than
ten times the value of all the wool both foreign
and domestic) sold in that city. The value i'm
ported into the country in 1913 exceeded sirtcen
millions of dollars. The probability is that this
country does not manufacture more than one
halfofthe wooden goods consumed in Though
she has capital, labor, power, and the raw mate
rial in her own limits. Nor is this the worst part
of the story: the wooden manufacture IS de-
creasing, and must continue TO decrease, unless
protection is speedily furnished TO sustain it
The best that can now be done in wool, is fan
nels-and to that must be added one third cotton
to make both the fannels and the business
good. There is another and quite an important
branch of manufacture, worthy of consideration,
especially in Vermont, and in our own section of
Vermont. We mean The manufacture Of cotton.
1t is safer branch of manufacture than wool,
because it is very nearly independent of protec-
ton, requires less capital, and has the world IF
need bel for market Is the cotton manufac
ture overdone? Far from it. Over serenieen
millions Of foreign cotton goods were imported IN
iS4s, and in the same year we exported fire MIL
lions of domestic cottons. The balance is a
gainst US on cottons we must manufacture
vast deal more TO supply our own rapidly grow
ing country. Indeed, it is hardly possible for
the increase of manufactures to keep even pace
with the increase of population. Yet more could
be safely done: America can ere long just as
well supply the world with cotton cloth as she
can with raw cotton. Ifany Yankee thinks his
neighbors are going too fast and too far in the
cotton line, we offer him these statistics:
