cY England is so deeply engaged in
manufactures that she brings a large portion
of her breadstutTs and provisions, as well as
the raw material for her manufactures, from
every part of the world. Daring the first
twcnty-sevcn weeks of the present year, the
Importation of flour and wheat alone, into the
ports Of Great Britain, was equal to 1884,.
752 bushels wheat. This quantity was
brought from forty.eight different ports in all
climates. The list begins with the northern
port Of Russia, (Archangel,) and ends with
Peru. 1t includes almost every European

~ We understand that Mr.. Alexander
Clcnge is making preparations to build a
large FIGURING Mill Mt this place. Good mills
are very much needed in this country, and
there are no enterprises that will be likely to
pay better. There is no section that pro.
duces better wheat, and at present for the
want of more good Touring establishments,
all the choice and heavier lots are shipped to
the South, there to be manufactured into
flour, and thus our own people lose all the
profit on the shorts, bran, &C., which if man.
aged rightly at home, would amount to n
large item. Such mill az Mr.. Cleage is
making preparations to erect, will obviate this
loss, at least in this immediate neighborhood,
and we hope to hear that enterprising men
in other localities are preparing to engage in
the business.

~" In noting down the distractions that
are beginning to show themselves in the de-
mocratic party, and commenting upon the
result of its late triumphs, a contemporary re-
marks that it never was in greater danger
than now. Its very strength is lis weakness
Those who control it, instead of looking to
the almost absolute oblteraton of past is
sues, and to the condition of public senti-
ment, seem only to desire to set in motion
the old and worn out machinery Of political
management and personal intrigue as means
of sustaining it. This, we repent, will never
do. There are strictly no longer any party
men. General Pierce has been long enough
in office to learn this. He has seen it in
Maine, with its quadrangular contests; in
New Hampshire, in its obvious discontents;
in Massachusetts, thrown into every conceiv-
able subdivisions; in New York, where the
staunchest atlIlerents Of democracy bid def
ance to the trammels of party, renouncing
allegiance and fidelity to the President him.
SELF except on the basis of well known prin-
ciples in Georgia, in Ohio, in Wisconsin,
where the federal power islost-everywherc,
through the whole States, he has seen it,
He has seen it in the sudden revival Of the
wings, and in their formidable array of
strength, in hopes and expectations brought
into existence, not on the merits of the old
organization, but on the palpab!c errors of
the administration, which, say what we will,
the people are ever ready to rectity.
Is it not plain enough that the past is no
criterion by which TO judge the futurc' Is it
not obvious enough that mere party tactics,
such as were used efficiently by the Van Blu
rcns twenty years ago are no longer suited
to the people! Is it not clear that good
cause is greatly jeopardcd now-a-dnysby ever
so good managcment-thata strong and well
man should not dabble in medicine, at least
not experiment upon his own persons We
insist that the chief error of the ndministru-
ton is found in its want of appreciation of
public sentiment. 1t will no longer do to tic
men to party and not to country. We hold
no divided allegiance-we serve but one mas.
ter, we embrace but one faith, we acknow.
edge but one confrssor, and that is. the true
spirit of freedom embodied in our compact
of union.

traitors. He who is punished to-day for his
characterization, will tomorrow avoid n repe-

to cease from sin now, may be bribcd to sin
an hour hence. The factionist should not be
