facture very superior article of Osnaburgs,
Kerseys. and other goods, which have attained
Il very extended reputation. The demand for
these goods have been constantly increasing,
and to meet this demand, the manufacturers
have added largely to the machinery Of the
Mills. As extensive consumers of our staple,
these gentlemen present strong add ional
claims to the patronage of the South. During
the past year they have been very liberal cot
ton buyers, and are now prepared to purchase
all wool which may be offered at fair market
prices

A PRESIDENTIAL ESTIMATE,

The Washington correspondent Of the Mont.
gomery (Ala.) Advertiser speculates as follows
touching the Presidential nomination at Char
lestons.a.
Tbe Chicago Tmes-Douglas' home organ
says that Douglas must be nominated at Char-
lesion, or he will enact the character in which
Martin Van Buren WAS 80 successful IN l848
What impudence! Douglas knows that he is
unpopular at the South, That the Democracy
are divided about him at The North, that half
of the Democracy of Indiana follow the lead Of
ths Administration. and yet he has the AFRO
gance to attempt to force himself upon the
convention. to say, stake pe, or strike" But
I opine that he stands bit o small chance of
securing the nomination. If the Southern
States stand firm he can never he nominated
The whole number of votes in the Convention
will he sos; two thirds (so2) will be necessary
for choice. Cnnceding to him every North.
| ern delegate. he will have only 1873. But he
can never get the delegation from Pennsylva-
