SOUTHERN VIEWS OF THE RECENT ELEc-
TIONs.

Below viii be found extracts from leading
Southern newspapers, which indicate anything
but hopeful frame of mind among the pecu
liar friends and propagators of Slavery. Il
is worthy Of remark that these shining lights
Of" Dsmocracy" find consolation in their usual
alternative of dissolution of the Union.
" Rule or ruin is their settled maxim.
We are grati6ed to perceive very different
tone of sentiment in other Southern journals,
whose fortunes are not linked with the fate of
the corrupt and slaveridden Democracy. The
opposition papers of the South make no dis
guise Of their qualification at the result of the
recent elections, or of their hopes that those
which are to follow in November will result in
equal disgrace to the Administration.
Every man south Of Mason and Dixon's line,
WHO has the slightest tincture of nationality,
o. love for the Union, or hberality of sentiment,
is an open or covert enemy Of the present Ad-
ministration; while the whole crew of Slavery
Propagsndists, Fire Eaters, and Disunionists,
are Democrats in good standing.
But, as Mr.. Buchanan said, " Let them howl {"
The majority of the Southern people will be
true to the Union, and will scout the idea of it's
dissolution upon any grounds short of an un.
qualified invasion Of their constitutional rights,
which no party capable of invading them med
itates. 10
The talk of dissolviDg the Union upon any
such ground as that taken by the Fire Eaters
viz: the election of a Republican Presidents
the merest electioneering humbug, which is
daily decreasing in value. Doubtless it serves
TO strengthen the Democracy" in the Gulf
States, and may do no harm in Virginia, but it
has ceased to ,errify anybody north of Mason
and Dixons line.

GOVERNMENT CORRUPTIoN.-Governo Foote
of Mississippi, Democrat, in q recent speech
in that State, referred to certain arrangements
in progress, Of which he said authentic evidence
would be shortly laid before the public, show
ing that an enormous corruption fund was ex.
pected to be raised, through the medium OF
Congressional legislation, which was relied on by
certain aspiring politicians as the means OF
controlling the Charleston Democratic Conven
ton, and securing the election of certain per-
sonages whom he named to the Presidency and
Vice Presidency of the Union. Upon this the
Albany Eoening Journal remarks:
Corruption in Congress to pass the LIE.
compton - corruption in Missouri TO fill the
pockets of army contractors : corruption in
Washington in the sale and purchase of forts
corruption in Minnesota to elect Demo cratic
Ssnators-corruption in st. Louis to defeat f
P. Blair-corruption in the Land Office to
feather the nests of " distinguished Demo.
crats and now more corruption TO control
the Charleston COnventlon-these are the evi.
dences of that "purity" and "economy Of
which we heard SO much on the Democratic
party's advent to power, The Democratic idea
of Government is a machine to swindle the
people with--and as such they use it vigor-
ously."
A correspondent of the ~ Y Tribune, writing
from Philadelphia, says that every man in the
Navy Yard who would not agree to vote for
Florence, has been discharged, and their places
filled with more obedient serfs; and that large
numbers Of Democrats from other districts
have been nominally employed to work there,
though they have no work assigned them, and
some 1900 are now receiving pay for no other
purpose than to vote for Florence. The Gus
tom-House patronage is prostituted to the same
end.-Pttsburgh Gazette.

THE BRITISH wooLLEN TRADE.

AT q recent meeting of the "British Asso-
ciation," Mr.. K. Baines read q very valuable
paper on +" The Woolen Manufacture of Eng
land" In 1899, the British imported 2, 263, 600
bJ of foreign and colonial wool, and in 1857,
$4,000, 900, of which 10000, 900 was retained
for home consumption, and the rest exported.
The total value of the woollen and the worsted
goods and yarn exported last year was
El3,645,0O0; it having been much checked
during the last 80 years by the introduction of
the cotton manufacture, of which, in goods and
yarn, f38, $4,000 worth was exported last
year. He thought it not safe to assume that
there were more than 1000 operatives en-
gagged in the woollen trade, and l25, 900 in the
worsted trade, making 279,OOO together; while
the total number of persons directly dependent
upon the trade might be set down at 837 500
(incuding the workers,) there being a larger
number of dependent workers in auxiliary
trades than In connection with any other man
ufacture, raw cotton and silk being wholly ina
ported, and flax very nearly 20. The wages of
those engaged in the wooien manufacture
would average Us. cd. week, for each man,
woman, and child, making for the 10000
workers, e., 875, 900 year. The annual value
of the woollen manufacture of the kingdom
might be thus stated, and certainly with the
reliance that the figures were not excessive !:
Foreign and colonial wool, 79,903,OO tbs,
worth Gt,7l7,0O0; 80,00O,O0O fb,. of British
wool, f5,OO0,O0O; aO,OOO,OOO TBS. shoddy at
23d., and 100000 lbs mungo at AID, worth
Zoos, 900; cotton and cotton warps, E2OG, 900 /;
making about 10a millions sterling for materi.
ais. Then there came dye wares, oils, and
soap, 81 100000; wages, s4s75 600; rent,
wear and tear, intereat profit, c., e., 1891 900 !;
making grand total of G2O, 100, 600 as the
value OF the wOollen manufacture of the king
dom. The paper occupied an hour and three
quarters in reading, and Mr.. Baines referred
in illustration, to nearly score of elaborate
tables. Amongst many other things dwelt
upon, Mr.. Baines infinitely explained the pc.
culiarities of the trade Of the three districts
united to form "the Leeds clothing district"
He especially described the origin and growth
of the shcddy and mungo trades, of which Bat
ley is the Gentle and he argued that, fairness
of dealing being OF oou. Sc implied, those trades
were in almost every sense an advantage, es
pecially for their making again useful cloth
of rags once thrown aside as useless.

Velksfest is German institution-but hereafter the
Germans will not be able to monopolize it. The
thing is contagious and the indications this year have
been such as to warrant the prediction that the whole

after. But the Germans are not exclusve-they are
no monopolists-and the more that join them the
better will they like it. Which, we take it, is "all
