offenders so strange and unexpected Will direct pubic at

fore they have led the opposition forces in every contest be-

in his political ortuoses and unparotic opposition 10 the
lust and lawful claims Of his section His letter IN Gov

On his late extreme condiionsuc papable Inconsistency

made the South mere football for self aggrandstmentoo
long and bitterly they wared against her simple rights
as equal the Unono expect her confidence appro
baton apparent humble confession OF political sins at
this the eleventh hour. We believe their sincerity
on the contrary constrained IL believe that this great
change which has come over the spirit OF their Dream has
bee brought about by the overwhelming tide OF public opin
ion the South Once they directed public sentiment and
their approval Of policy, but 10 be KNOWN 10 ensure
the cordial support of their Wing confederates but
when the people have begun 10 and act for themselves
nsuling and projecting their own plans Of procedure,
these sennes forsakc their old alliances, Jump
into III, Of ronuir SENTIMENT and become the loud
est denouncers of Northern arrogance and out-ua the
uras" in their Of redress. Such leaders must
be closely watched-tr motives carefully scannc-they
rush lie Union IL the brink Of the precpice, and most
ynaandnmo uSiy fly the rescue when the peril all over
We wait for developcmentsif their repentance j.

LET Us PREPARE FOR OUR OWN PROTECTION.
In our article Saturday cndeavocd 10 snow the iIi
portance OF encouraging The mechanic arts in our State
the benefits would be derived from 10 ourselves and

counry's affairs promote our own internal strength We
now come 10 what has been the prevailing opinion al the
cheap the Nnrih-consequcntlv must import But
ask what would have been the result had each State
continued to maintain this impression, of they all
Ia certain degree, entertained this feeling al the dawn Of
their gea, enterprises! Would they have found them
selves horng under all the Inconvenience of dependence
10 which this s,eeoyped opinion had subjected then We
ae all sensible of the obstacles 10 which all projects
liable and the responsibility incurred when s success seems
dou,iu but yield To them in their feeble stages
The happy results which have followed the most gloomy
dawns would cmhazon the records o our country

But why does this great difference exist Why is that
the North is our manufactured There slight local
SEES we admit; but the is not equal in proportion
the patronage yield the North The question has been
discussed thu North and she attributes il slave Ia
bu and settled willingness to remain contented with pro-

in IT, but the former should very much doubt for there
is no natural impeachment which should separate the
acurer from the producer The success OF the one is

Let compare the progress OF railroads in Massachusetts
the different branches of trade connected with it, and the
wealth which they difuse into the manufacturing districts
with that Of Georgia massachusetts, in 1898 had but one
hundred and seventy -four miles of railroad in running
der her principal roads the Boston and Worcester Bos
lon and Providence, and the Lowell. The feeling then

tender with the Philadelphia cars might be seen running
their roads. There locomotive shops, and but a
feeble attempt had been made build by Messrs. Da
venpor g. Bridges OF Cambridge In 1885, the Worcester
railroad working eight locomotives four of which
English manufacture from Lowell shop, from the
1lessfs Norris and from Baldwin G. Vail, of Phlade
pha.
Here, in 1885, find Massachusetts 10 have made but
little progress in the manufacture Of her locomotives
and In the year small establishment had been
started what called the Neck, near Boston, by Messs
Hinckey and Drury These gentlemen excellent me-
chancsther imited-the enterprise private
one, and its deemed very doubtful Their
peti,ors Messrs Norris and Baldwin, had established their
popularity with the Boston railroad corporatons-drovc the
English mechanic of the Market and even manu-
featuring specimens of their work send Great Britain
and continental Europe. This, them obstacle the
progress Messrs Hnckly and Dy who although hav-
ing produced several very fine specimens of workmanship
had established popularity.
Blu, e, ask what the present position of tina, branch
of business in Massachusetts Her railroads have increas
