way Times of the 10th ult., gives its readers
an able aud well written article on the sub
jeet of duty on foreign iron, and the efforts
that are being made to have it repealed. We
quote paragraph;
The great mass of our countrymen are tru-
ly DESTROYS Of building up our own industrial
interests, because they clearly zee that it is
every way beneficial. 1t keeps money at
home, pays our own labor and makes us com
mercially Independent. The national feeling
at times in despite of party lead, becomes
strong enough to insist upon such a rate of
duties as will protect our manufactures against
the foreign An equitable tariff for protec
ton is put on and our capitalists and manu-
facturers, having faith in the legislation of
the country. go into the business. After they
are fairly started and have begun to triumph
over the difficulties inseparable from the early
stages Of any new enterprise, but before they
have been successful in business point Of
view, clamor is raised against the monopo-
ly, as it is called, and their interests are
rapidly sacrificed by doing away with the pro-
lection against the foreign manufactures who,
with experience and plenty of capital, are al
ways ready and willing to break down our
manufactures by underselling them, even if
they do this ut n loss for term of years.
This is the game that has been played at the
expense Of our iron establishments for the last
fifty years, and it may last for fifty years
more. The iron masters of Great Britain
can afford to pay heavily for the monopoly of
our markets We are fast becoming the
greatest consumer of metals in the civilized
world and while our national legislation
continues to play into the hands of our for
eign competitors, a monopoly of the great
bulk Of iron manufacture will be in their
hands.

The CHOLERA AT CoRuNSA.--Accounts
from Corunna, Spain, represent the cholera
rs raging furously there. In the night of
the 2lst to the 22d, i26 persons died in that
town. On the asth, 200 were attacked, and
the mortality was terrible. In the prison and
barracks great many persisted. Nine physi.
clans had died. The town was almost aban.
doned; the streets were deserted, tho houses
closed, and the dead lay unburied. To add
to the dismay of the unfortunate inhabitants,
the authorities had abandoned their post fly-

country the apple can be readily cultivated.
There exists within a distance of seventy
miles, nearly every variety of temperature,
from almost torrid heat to the cold of the re-
gions of perpetual snow; and consequently
fruits may be had of all those different varie-
lies of climate growing within that distance.
Already are the beautiful vallies that lie en-
bosomed in the mountains fast settling up
with an industrious intelligent population ,and
the stranger is surprised to find fine farms
and well-cultvated gardens where, standing

NOBLE SENTIMENT OF SILAs WRIGHT.-
The following noble sentiments, enunciated
by the late Sias Wright, are particularly ap-
propri1te at tho present time, when Sec
tionaiism and disunionism are rife in the
land:
'If there be those among us who, mislsd Jv
mistaken sympathy or by sudden excitement
upon any subject, are forgetting their obliga-
tons TO The lehole country to the constitution
and Union, let us use every effort of persua-
sion and example TO awaken them to II sense
of their dangerous error. If those who, for
the sake of private interest, personal ambition
or momentary political success, are willing to
experiment upon the public passions, to treat
lightly their constitutional obligations, to fer
ment sectional jealousies and raise up geo.
graphical distinctions within theUnion, let the
absence of our contenance and support con-
vince such that the personal qualification or
public service of any man are not objects of
sufficient magnitude to be gained at the ex-
pense of the harmony of the country, the
peace of the Union, or a single letter in the
list of constitutional duties. II among us
there be any-which Heaven forbid who
are prepared for any earthly object, to dis
member our confederacy and destroy that
constitution which binds us together, let the
fate of an Arnold be theirs, and let the de-
testation and scorn Of every American be
their constant companion, until, like-him,they
shall abandon n country whose rich blessings
they are no longer worthy TO enjoy"
