II thus appears that only eight foreign Powers
get the advantage of to the tune of about twenty
seven millions Of dollars, lin the hardy and
among them figures poor Portugal, to say moth
ing of the sagacily of the darkies of Hayti,
who know well enough that their Island would
ultimately become desert if they alwsys i'm
ported more than they exported. 40 % imports
from France, they should be much icss, as we can
do well enough with half the quantity of silks and
other fnery we get from that country and as to
Cuba, we should cultivate sugar enough to lessen
the imports from that island, which is almost within
gunshot Of Key West and thereby prevent its taking
from us $5,O0O,O00 per annum. With regard to
the Hanse Towns, we cannot divine how they get
us in debt SO largely. China must bring us in debt
every year till Mr.. Junius Smith, of South Caro-
lima, extends his tea patches considerably. Brazil
will also keep in debt till we learn to cultivate
coffee, and SO will Venezuela. But, as we have the
finest climate in the world, why not endeavor to
cultivate as well manufacture every thing?
Why, with country washed by the two great
oceans of the world, should we be dependant upon
other countries for any thing! Is there sense in
digging up gold in California, Virginia, or in any
other State, and then, as soon as it is coined send
it to Europe to pay for articles that we can our
selves grow and manufacture II is high time that
we should do things according to the rule of three
and common sense, and not shape all our acts for
the benefit of foreign countries.

A POWERFUL MICROSCOPE.

six thousand dametes which makes superficial surace of
thirysx millions We examined minute particles Of
dust secondary scales, from the wing Of butterfly.
These have been with mcroscopes-the lines running
parallel with the sides the dust particles both longitudinal

tooe been observed This microscope however shows that
these longitudinal lines of the dust Of the butterfly, and
between them, there arranged number Of little scaler
similar to the scales Of fish, Between each pair Of lines
from five to six of these little scales For instance,
dust particle from the back of the body Of SPHINX
ing the one-h of inch in LENGTH and hundredths
in BREADTH discovers hundred and four longitudinal lines
The number of scales between each pair Of lines wdh
sx-making the number Of scales six hundred and twenty
dinaly and downwards twenty hundred which makes
the entire number Of scales on the dust particle equal 10 four

On another very minute particle from the wing OF tenia
measuring only oneve hundedhs OF an inch in length and
one thousandh OF inch in BREADTH the number Of scales
are found TO be eighty -four thousand which will reach the
number Of orywo thousand millions to one square inch

The course agreed upon and parsued by the
coalesced Democratic and FreeSoil parties Of Mas
saehusets ia relation to United States Senators has
produced remarkable state Of things. They have
not only thus far failed entirely to elect Senator for
the next Congress, but have managed SO as 10 make
vacant chair in the present one. BY causing the
election of Mr.. RANToUL to be notified to the Sen
ate, Mr.. WINTHRor's duty to retire became apparent
No one can doubt that after receiving from the
Governor of the State Mr.. RANToUL's credentials,
Mr.. w. was bound to present them. That act of
the Governor was, of itself, evidence to Mr.. w.
that Mr.. R. had either accepted, or had agreed
beforehand TO accept At all events, Mr.. WIN
THRoP had nothing to do with Mr.. RANToUL's ac-
ceptance. The moment that the Senate was Off
cialy notified from the Executive of the State that
the Legislature had filled the vacancy, Mr.. W..
could not with propriety it seems to US, do other
wise than retire. If vacant chair is left the repon-
sibity OF leaving the State unrepresened must rest
upon the coalition Governor, who, by sending Mr..
RS credentials 10 the Senate, gave assurance of
his acceptance.
The extraordinary circumstances attending the
election of Mr.. RANToUL, and the act of sending
his credentials to Mr.. WINTHROP instead of to Mr..
R. gave rise to much discussion in the Senate.
There was difference of opinion as to the conse-
ouences which should flow from this act of the
Governor; but the best judgment seemed to be, as
declared by the President of the Senate in giving
his views, that "As the Presiding Officer he could
not recognise the right of the honorable Senator
from Massachusetts, to hold his seat longer"
