LET THE SOUTH MANUFACTURE.

We really apprehend that Newben-made wig
would be confession of badness at forty rods dis

false teeth and Of false hair ever become perfect IN
Nerta Carolina, without North Carolina support
Rs'ht glad were we, therefore, to see that New
htm was losing her apathy, and frewnng on
those Of her citizens who smiled upon her with
porcelain ineisors purchased in this metropolis of
AbOHti6nism, and who cautiously scratched other
peoples tresses which New-YOrkers had taught TO
curl and pretend to be natural. That son Of New
bern, guilty these many years of the chronic DIS
loyalty of sending to this den of incendares for ms
family -four, two barrels at time-we thought
when we heard of him, of Robesperre, and these
whom for the sake of the Republic he denounced
from the tribune of the Jacobins, and OF MS iatai
lists of the prescribed. Farinaeeous traitor 70 the
S0uth YOU should head the list of Newbern sus-

handle negro-shoes made within her Jursdlcuon'
and to hear them pronounced as good as those OF
LYNN. And when our contemporary of The Richmond

handful of pastebosrd plates, ingeniously suosti-
tated for leather in the heels and soes and fran

never false, our heart rejOced The cordwalning

caated from the fabrication of paper and glue.
James NJ. Mason, in his home made toga of home
spun cloth, though voted by the galleries to De the
worst-dressed man that ever sat in curule chaiF,
WAS TO our eyes clad in Senatorial dignity ana
beauty when thus invested the other day WIN

fah true respect for that Virgniau In Richmond
who offered 10 clean the sOied uniforms of the army
which made the campaign against John Brown, Tor
hast nothing at SILL if the warriors only would not
,epd them to the ncendiary North for reparahOn.
That ssrtoria renovatOr of cloth was not the ninth
mart of man; he was q whole man. And the
Richmond journalist who daily and with prodglous
elamor interpOsed between the military companies
eff Virginia ambitious of uniformity of raiment, and
the great tailoring establishments OF Philadelphia,
daily grew on our admiration. He became the
representative of a principle that is very dear TO
Ms" Home Manufactures'-and was patriot IN
our way of measuring men, when he persuaded the
seeionAries that it was the first duty of warike
VirVinian to give remuneratve employment to the
sAears Of the Old Dominion, and to her needles anu
east-ron geese. Iron Suggestive word. Wesmote
~ur thigh with delight when we read of the cond-
fou imposed by the Legislature OF Virginia upon us
yrapt of money in aid of one of her unfinished rail-
reads-that the iron to lay its track with, should be
mined in Virginia, and rolled ID Virginia. May that
prosision never be repealed 1t made us happy to
eruse that wsest of the resolutions of the Directors
al the Roanoke Road-that the Presidents of all the
Railways in the South be requested to convene and
take measures for the establishment upon Slave
labor soil of mandatory of locomotives and other
equipments upon which the hammer of a Northern
mechanic should never have smitten a blow. SO in
trested have we felt in the development of this new
passion of the Slave States for Industrial and Com;
mercal Independence, that We have repoblished in
THE TRIBUNE the recommendations of Richmond
journals to the South to send its machinery patterns
TO the Justly celebrated cannon fOundery OF that
city, and have honestly hoped that we should direct
TO that establishment some profitable jobs. ItwOuld
take long time for Virgins, in any of her towns,
TO perfect manufacture of stoves that should COM
pete in quality or price with the matchess castings of
many Albany manufacturers; but we will agree TO
sratnOusy advertise an established business of that
character in the various editions Of The TRIBUNE,
now circulating pa, 900 copies. Has not Virginia
a. good iron as ever came from Scotland or Penn
sylyanial Is not her mOlding-sand perfect Rich,
Superabundantly rich in ores, coal, timber, and
water-power is the Old Dominion. So are Ala
kams, Georgia, and the two CarOlinas. Why do
they not diversity their exclusively agricultural n-
duFtry with manufacturing Why do they not es-
tablish and nurse into permanent life mechanical
oenters, at all suitable points, about which
their exhausted farming shall be terminated, and
through which the harmony of social interests shall
maize these States pOpulous, wealthy, and powerful
for internal order and external defense We adjure
the South to go to manufacturing We adjure it to
estsblish that Commerce with the whole world which
over fellows upon the complete Independence of a
peoples labor We allure it to give profitable EN-
plOyment and consequent consideration to its great
class of NOn-saveholdng Whites, and so avoid the
peril which looms down big from the future upon
its present policy. For We can tell the South, that
when the present aggregation of slaves under
large prOprietOrships, every one of which dispaces
or destroys dozen small slave masters, has pro-
ceeded to the extent of a monopoly in property,
and an attempted Oligarchy in politics, the excluded
