ufactured from cotton in five of the southern
and the five New England States, from SAC

New England States, 24,495,O88 1888 O5s
Five southern States, 3,378,379 6895 1886
These facts prove the success which has at
tended the introduction of manufactures at the
south, has been such as to lead to their rapid
increase. The day is not far distant when the
south will not only produce all the raw mate
rial, but also spin and weave nearly all the cot

ANOTHER LICK AT THE OFFICE HoLDERs.-
At a meeting of the democrats of East Felici-
ana, held in Clinton, (La., on the 18th July,
over which George W. Catlett, esq.,, presided,
resolutions were passed repudiating the nomi-
nation of Davidson for congress in the third dis
trlct, and recommending that new convention
take place at Baton Rouge, on the 51st inst
The GROWING act Of the convention was the
unanimous adoption of the following resolution,
which demonstrates in manner not to be mis-
understood that the democratic masses are be-
coming tired of being ridden over rough shod
and whipped into harness by official person
ages and petty office-holders:
"Resolved, That we deprecate as unwar
rantable, presumptuous, and highly censurable
the interference of official personoges, outside of
this district, in its political affairs whether I'M
der the pretence Of looking after wild lands, or
collecting customs in Baton Rouge, and that the
people of this district are competent to manage
their own political matters, without the person
al attendance, assistance and interference of
said official personages,'
The Chicago papers complain that senator
Douglas has been playing the dough face, -
and boldly charge him with having Furnished
widely different copies or versions of his late
speech for the northern and the southern news
papers. One version TO suit the readers of the
former journals, and another to suit the south
rons." The Missouri Republican, copy of the
speech Furnished by Mr.. Douglas hmself) is,
in whole passages, totally unlike the speech
published in the Illinois State Register, witch
he likewise furnished. As the Little Giant
of Democracy" did not deliver tho different
speeches on the occasion, no little anxiety is
felt among his southern friends to find out what
he really did say, and it is to be hoped that he
will without delay set their troubles at rest
Since governor Walker, of Kansas, has cast off
the mask, and displayed his freesoil afGnities,
the south begins to suspect those who have been
held up to her admiration, ssas northern men
with southern principles
