FIax VS.. Cotton.

The late English papers contain glowing accounts .
rocent discovery made by Frenchman named Claus
If mode of preparing flax that it can be spun
and woven by the same machinery as cotton. Numer'
o exrermeuts have been tried and it appears to be
GENERALLY conceded, that by Caussens bleaching pro-
cess the clean fibre ready for the spinner can be pro-
duced for from five to six per b, or about one
third of the price of cotton.
The cbeanness Of cotton has been the main cause OF
its general introduction and extensive use IN all parts oil
the world and the portion OF the globe upon
which it can be produced, has given to the Southern
States of this Union monopoly Of the market, to sup
NV which. thousands of human beings are sacrificed
every year.
As fax can be produced upon soil Of moderate tertll-
ity within the temperate zones it must follow as ma
tura consequence that any invention which will cheap
en- the mode of separating the fibre from the stalk, and
give it the whiteness so dsrabIe, which has hitherto
been obtained only by slow or expensive process,
will have wonderful effect in stimulating its growth;
and one of the first results will be, to break down that
institution of fraud and tyranny, 10 sustain which, such
oceans of blood and mines of wealth have been squan
dered ty the general government within the last few
wears Most sincerely do hope that the reports Of
this great discovery are exaggerated, and that the
world may not long be deprived fthe beneficial results
which it promises to fulfil. That such results may be
realized from an invention like the announced, no
one familiar with the discovery of the cotto' gin by
Whitney, and the impetus which that discovery gave
to the planting, manufacturing, and commercial inter
ests of the country, can for moment doubt. In 1854
an American ship which imported into Liverpool only
eight bags of cotton seized the ground, that so
much cotton c2ud not be the produce cte United States
and in 1874, sixty years afterwards, the estimated
quantity of the cotton crop of the States, two mil
lions three hundred and twenty. three thousand bales
With the increase of this product of the savehodng
States has increased the strength and influence of the
slave-power until now that demoniacal tyranny may
be said TO sit enthroned upon this crop alone.
All hail. to the benign and blessed influence of that
invention which shall dethrone this monster niquy by
the competition of the products of the labor Of free men
upon free soil.

Your NEIGHBoR's HENS. Mr. A. kept his
hens shut up. He was not going to have his garden
destroyed by his own or his neighbours hens One

the hens flew over into neghbor BIS garden; where
upon A. called over to him very angrily that he would
shoot the next hen he his side of the fence if
he did not shut them up, which B. declared he
would not do, and if A.. was fool enough to shoot
them he might do it, for all he cared. A. was as
good as his word, and day after day B. was sauted
with the smell of gunpowder, and message thrown
over the fence with every fat pullet "There's an
ether chicken for your dinner;" until at length not
finding the usual supply, b. called over one morn

SOMETHING TO REFLECT UPON. The census

(Geo) Jounalan Messenger show an increase Of on
" one thousand in her slave population for the last ten
years All her surplus negroes have been carried
South and sold. Thus are teorga, Alabama and Mis-
sisspPi, slowly, but certainly preparing the way for the
ultimate overthrow Of slaYeryin Virginia and Mar lard
in plain English, we paying them to become
emancpationiss. Already has the slave population Of
Maryland ceased chow any material increase in ne.
rod Of years. If it fall off in the same ratio for the
next ten, Maryland will show an actual increase Of Ten
thousand slaves ! Then will commence the downfall
Of slavery. Our people, and especially our law ,gyers
should think of these things. We have heard il estiina
ted that Virginia has sent $4,000 negroes South
the present winter 10000 of whom have been brought
to Georgia. These things daily passing before
our eyes, and yet to think or reflect upon
