A short Argument for n 0me M q n u .
features.
1t is an imperative duty Of every farmer
and business man to encourage, by oil possi-
BILE means In his power, the industry and la
tor Of their own immediate neighborhood.
Every farmer Of Iowa, il he will but take
trouble to thoroughly examine the question,
can but see why it is clearly his interest that
all our own articles OF domestic use, such as
wagons, reapers, plows, threshing machines,
and indeed all articles OF husbandry should
be manufactured in our own county instead
OF being imported from other communities.--
Here he can see the former course will Sc
cure to him ready demand and good price
for his products at home, without leaving him
to the mercies Of distant, uncertain and de-
pressed markets, the cost of reaching which
often eats up fair share of proceeds of
sales.
The establishment Of new manufactures
among US is positive increase in value to
every acre Of land in the State employed in
agriculture, and to oil kinds OF farming pro
ducts, while it eventually, nay speedily d.
minishes the cost Of what the farmer must
buy in return. The farmers Of this State
must become convinced Of this truth, and act
upon it with liberal disposition to protect
and support these establishments while ia
their infancy, before the full benefits can be
derived.
We sincerely hope, therefore, that our
farmers will act upon this principle, and that
when they want to purchase any new article
OF husbandry, they will look up ana buy Of
those who manufacture nearest their own
farms. Support and protect the industry Of
those who are your neighbors, and yoa may
safely rely upon receiving fair remunera-
tior. We are strongly in favor of that kind
OF protection to oil classes OF industry which
will tend to make it both honorable and prof.

Mohammed Pasha, Rear Admiral Of the Turkish

the spring OF 1858. Fourteen of the cpistles have

York Evening Post, and have not only been read
with much interest ard pleasure BY the subscribers
to that journal but have been copied and highly
complimented BY the best newspapers and pcriodi-
Gals in ths country.

With the Letters, ~ published in book form, arc
interspersed large number Of replies, CRITICAL
pAnatory, audatory, and objurgatory, received tin

different parts Of the United States and elsewhere,
who supposed to have read the Letters which APP
peared In the Post.
Both the letters and the replies are satircal, full
OF humor that 10 broad enough to be popular, yet
free from any suspicion Of vulgarty, and relieved,
NJ all satirical humor should be, by vein Of phi
