 The Hartford Times claims that the largest silk factory in the Union, is the one at South Manchester, Conn.,, which, with its branch in Hartford, gives en- ployment to about 300 operatives, and brings into use the best machinery which Yankee or French genius can supply. Italy produces no silk of finer texture or greater strength than that of the Manchester mill, says the Times, while in point of elegant finish, beauty of color, and brightness of lus- |tre, the Connecticut establishment bears off the palm in comparison with any or all silks which we have met with.

THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.

We recently said that the democratic party its hope
of future upon the intelligence WISDOM and pa
totism Of the American people We might have added,
that no party maintain permanent ascendency on
any other ground As the people have the power in their
hands, and all rulers, they will labor for their
good and it is evident that any party to maintain per-
ascendeney in the country labor for the well
fare of the Union Thus find that the democratic party,
having the interests OF the whole country at heart has
alone main tanned permanent aseendency and withstood
the of time While the democratic party has achieved
presidential victories the wings have achieved two
and while the trumphs Of democratic princi-
pies the latter simply the gratitude of the people to
men had fought their hard-earned battles No ntei-
gent whg win presume say that the Of HARRISON
in ls4o Of Taylor, in ls4s the triumph of whg
principles Had General Harrison fought the battle
Tppecanoe Taylor the laures of the battle
field neither of them would have been elected to the
chief magstracy of ths Union.
As the democratic party has trinmphed in the past so
will it in the future And when the democratic
party spoken Of thing of the past when IL is assert
ed continually is that "old party lines obht-
Grated love call to mind its glorious triumphs in
the past and contemplating that past rely upon prom
sng future As the people have stood by the demo-
cratic party other party hope for permanent sue

verses but defeat is at times necessary teach the

A PATRIOTIC WHIG.


The Mddletown Constitution, one Of the most reliable
od-fashoned whg presses in Connecticut comes out
against the fusion in that State We give be-
low extract from article in its number Of the 5h in
sant:
THE PARTIEs.-The efforts Of the fusionists
do not meet with that degree OF which they DESIRE
and very much doubt whether they bring the bone
and snew Of the whg party into their plans There many
whig yet in the northern States who the idea
merging the northern whg party into sectional organiza-
tion with only political principle Men who have be-
onged to the whg party from principle
give up those principles for sectional issues have
tthe of their Importance. What is it, plain terms thnt
the fusonts want2 It to merge all northern parties
gether in organization What who is this party to
to be arrayed against tho southern States the f
sopists asking the whg party North this
tona organization For one, do not believe they will
do IT. and cordially hope they will Think of array
ing the North against the South What would George
Washington say to such arrangement? What would
Alexander Hamilton say it We think see these two
patriots considering the question Washington his Fare
well Address warned the American people against this very
thing, against sectional divisions"
The editor then goes to speak of the patriotic posi-
ton Of Ex-Governor Hunt of New York. and closes as fol-
lows:
