The large Cotton Factory OF Puscy u Sons

discharged its operatives, in consequence of the
great scarcity of money. The suspension at this

Oregon it seems, is moving the subject of be-

necessary to apply to Congress- for admission. 1t

unanimous in favor of applying to be admitted

stitution to be submitted to the people for their
adoption or rejection. The question of slavery ap-

of adjustment proposed by the democratic party is

SUGAR DUTIES IN THE zoLL vEREIN

The government of Prussia issued early last month
an invitation to the States of the Zol Yorein to send
commissioners to meet in conference at Berlin the
5th of this month to consult reference to the pres
ent duties on sugar. Under the present system the
duties amount almost to prohibition against colonial
foreign sugar, and keep up the price of beetroo
sugar to an extravagant figure The proposition
which Prussia contemplates submitting to the con-
ference will have for its object to retain the existing
duty colonial sugar, but to raise tho duty beet
root sugar from six silbergros the quinta to seven
and half sbergros. We shall soon learn the re-
suit of the conference.

GOVERNOR MARcY's VIEWS IN 1886.

We transfer to our columns from the Albany Atlas
extended extract from message of Governor
Marcy to the Legislature of New York in 1886, in
which he communicated, with his accustomed clear
ness and force his views Of the abolition question,
and defined the powers and duties Of tho several
States upon that subject The principles laid down,
and the reasons in support Of them, we have good
to know, met with the cordial appreciation of
the entire democracy of New York, including such
men as Silas Wright, A. c. Flagg, and others,
who were doubtless consulted in relation to them.
The doctrine of non-nervention is clearly proclaim
ed and supported by reasons which carried convic-
ton to every mind not steeled against argument and
it annihated the hopes of abolition Intermediates in
every quarter. Governor Marcy then highly
complimentcd in all quarters for his bold and
pendence. His doctrine was then deemed purely
conservative and democratic. The principles laid
down this subject those of the demo-
cratic party everywhere, and if acted upon in
good faith, would restore harmony to every part
of the Union, and perpctate OUR institutions in their
pristine purity and vigor. Those who wish to occu-
Ply democratic ground should examine the old land
marks and see where they stand and if they have
crossed the line Of truth, and are wandering ina region
of error they should at return to that occupied
by their friends The principles laid down by Gov.
Marcy will guide them to ground which they can
safely occupy with honor to themselves and advan-
taee to the country
