S@S~ The Washington correspondent OF
the Detroit Tribune, speaking of the
country. writes AS follows:
In business matters We can discern
land. The factories Of New England are
coming into full activity. The trade in
domestlcs was never more active in New
York than it is now. The country has
been ssagnant as to production for six
months. Stocks have been much reduced
III consequence. We may look for much
activity in business for the next year
Upon the whole, the comparative suspen.
sion Of the foreign trade has been benz.
fit. We have been paying debts, and
have ceased to contract new ones. We
have learned another lesson in self.denepd.
cnce. As soon as the Africanization of
the Territories shall have been effcctually
guarded against, &c may expect some
we!!-iounded legislation on the tariff which
will preclude the recurrence of such dis
asters as that of last year by discouragine
indulgence in foreign luxurics. There
are few calamities more immediately iniu-
rious to nation than sn exec .siye activi-
ty in trade. In fact, SC far as our mate
rial prosperity is concerned, if wall of
fire separated us from Europe, it would be
the better for us.
The re-action from the suffering of the
last half year ought at least to provide
safeguards for the future It's first lesson
is to the farmers. They derive no advan-
tage from high prices. Speculation can
not benefit them. Low and stable prices
for their produce are better than those
spasmodic expansions and collapses which
make up the history of prices for the last
twelve years. Habits Of regularity as well
as industry are essential to their prospori-
t. and the preservation Of their moral
tone. They are the foundation Of society
and the pillars Of the structure Owning
the land, they are the richest class in the
country, and ultimately, its government
must repose upon them.
| trust the next great lesson of the re-
vulsion. though it may appear truism to
state it, will be long remembered. This
is the necessity Of rigid punishment of
financial swindlcrs. not only By legal pen
alties, but by social prescription There
can be no doubt that society has been de-
moralized by tolerated dishonesty.

skill but 4 carpenter will always take

forty bricks day, an excavator will
never take out more than one cubic yard

all the rest. If they travel, they seldom
go more than ten miles in one day. If

Mr.. Buchanan becomes a God-ssnd.

A contemporary thinks that James Blu
chanan is god-send, as he will bring the
American people to repentancc-the first
step in the road that leads to Heaven. -
This idea reminds us of another: In a
certain village in Ohio, there resided a
family consisting of an old man named
Beaver, and his four sons, all Of whom
were hard pets" and who had often
laughed to scorn the advice and entreat-
les Of pious though exccntric minister
who resided in the same town. 1t hap.
pened that one of the boys was bitton by
q ratt.esnakc aud expected to die. when
the minister was sent for in great haste.
On his arrival he found the Young man
very penitent and anxious to be prayed
with: The minister calling on til family.
kneelei down and prayed in this wise -
-Un Lord, We thank thee for rattle
snakes; we thank thee because a rattle
snake has bit jim We pray thee to
send one to bite John; send one to bite
Bill send one to bite Sam and, O Lord,
send the biggest kind of one to bite the
old man; for nothing but rattlesnakes
will bring the Beaver family to repent

Mr.. Buchanan is the political rattle
snake, which an Advise Providence has
placed in the Executive Chair to bite the
citizens of his country into rebellion to
Presidential dictation and official corrup-
ton. ooh Lord, we thank thee for send
ing that rattlesuake--we thank thee that
he has bit Douglas, and Walker, and
Wise, and Bell, and Crittenden, and Stan

representative from Albany, even Eras-
tus, the dealer in hardware Let him bite
SAM and give him backbone to those
who once worshipped in the midst of dark
lntcrns-and, . Lord, we ask thee as a
SIP ,cial act of grace, that he may bite the
old man of Binghampton' and his son-in-
