"F Y. C." Again.
Mr. Carlile appeared in print, over his
initials, in Saturdays Enquirer in an essay
on the Importance of manufacturing to large
towns and cities. The article contained
some excellent thoughts, put together in
Mr.. C.'s ingenious and impressive style and
so far as its main object was concerned-if
that really was the Importance of encour-
aging home manufacturers and mechanics,
which we Doubt was timely and lauda-
bic endeavor in behalf of the industrious
home artizan. We have no fault to find
with the body of the article, bat with its
closing sentences we have. We cordially
endorse the article in the main, and CON
gratulate the writer on the utterance Of
sumo of the noble ideas which illuminate
its swelling periods. -. ne
The closing sentences to which we take
except ton read thus:
"None but those mechanics blinded and
misled by the rankest party prejudices, viii
be found on the rolls of the violent section
alists. Among them neither Iincolism nor
Yanceyites can find any intelligent support
ersn
We have to deal with Mr.. c. 8 illusions to
+" Lincolnism." For the Yanceyites we have
as unfavorable an opinion as be has.
In the first place Lincoln has hundreds
and thousands of supporters amongst the
hard listed mechanics of the country, and it
is libel on them to intimate that they are
not intelligent They are intelligent, and
that is the very reason why they are Re-
publicans.
Mr.. Carliles inTeterate, and not entirely
disinterested dislike of the Republican par
~ here crops out " at the end of this ar
ticle-commenced, we hope, in a better spirit
than that Of deliberate design TO iniure q
body Of men as patriotic and L MON loving
as he assumes to be. Yet when we see how
smoothly and naturally the article runs in
TO this denunciation of Republcanism, we
should certainly think that the writer, had
intended to get it up for buncombe amongst
the unsuspecting artizans ofthe city, for the
use and behoof of the Bell-Douglas coalition
with which he has connected himself-did
we not know his extreme artlessness and
ingeniousneSs Mr.. CarIile would not in
dite an article in that vein on purpose to
injure the Republican party, aud without
caring a straw for the industrial Interests OF
which he wrote. Oh, no, of course not -
He has not dollar offxed pecuniary interest
here, but still he has Il pure and holy love
for our citizens, and is actuated alone by
that He is the incarnation of Generosity
The individual who wrote the erudte, es-
say in question entirely forgot, in his elabo-
rate effort, to state one important fact, viz:
That the Republican party is the only party
now before the people which holds to the
old Wing doctrine of protecting our home
manufacturers and mechanics against for
eign competition. Governmental eucour-
agement is of fully as much (if not more)
importance to the poor struggling mechan-
ic, and manufacturer straitened for means,
as any other kind. The Republican party
alone, of ali the other parties proposes tc
secure this encouragement. The two Dem.
ocrRtic factions both favor free trade, anG
the enriching of lordly foreign capitalists
at the expense of our own working men
The getters-up Of the Bell platform-old
wings, too were too cowardly to say one
word in favor Of our home interests and
this old Wing principle But the Republi
can party, Composed partly Of old Democrats
recognize the principle and cherish the in.

Why didn't Mr.. Garlic mention all thi.
ia bis laboTed production The reason is
IL would spoil his covert attempt to iuiur,
