Mar Fdet0y.-The manufacture OF willow
work of various kinds has been commenced on
Broad street, near the Central Depot, by two
men who understand it thoroughly. and who
prOpose to increase their force, il they receive
Sufficient patronage to justify them In doing
So They use the imported willow which
can he brought directly from Europe to the

as cheap rs they could do it in Boston. Cen
tiemen who are thoroughly acquainted with
the kind of willow used for the manufacture
of baskets, chairs, etc, have no doubt that it
can be successfully cultivated III this State.
and If they are right in their onclusions, there
is no reason why the South may not he ena-

der such a leader as Houston, will surely pay
him and the Mexicans, with interest dOubly

Now when Houston finds himself with a
thousand volunteers in possession, say of
the city of Malamoras, or some other impor-
tant military point in Tamaulipas, will he

History answers no! From the moment be

In the following paragraph the n. Y. Her
aid effectually explodes the theory promulged
by Mr.. SEWARD in bis late speech in the Sem
ate:
Starting from false position, Mr.. Seward
proceeds to erect a fallacious theory, under
which, ''for convenience sake" he denomi.
mates 1.-The slave States capital States. and
free States labor States''-meaning TO incul-
cate that in the social system of the South
the rights of capital predominatc, while in
that of the North the rights of labor are SUI
preme. This fallacy is at once destroyed in
the mind OF every Northern man who mi
CRATES TO the Southern States, by the practi-
cal conviction that there be has social posi-
tion whether he has money or not; or. as the
popular expression phrases it, "a man is a
gentleman here if he has no money in his
pocket. while in the North be is not look d
upoa as such If be is poor" In truth. Mr..
Stewards classification of ''capiial States" and
.'Iabor Statesp il the reverse of the fact. 1t
is in the Northern States that capital is rapid

OF degrading serviiudc. Mr., Seward appeals
TO 1.-The wcavers and SINNERS OF Mas-achu-
sets, the strvedores of New York, and the
miners of PENNSYLVANIA Let them speak.
Let them tell how they have to maintain
their unequal contest with capital. Let the

In the truthful comparison OF the two so

A New State

The Louisville Democrat having announced
that "the project of forming a new State out
of portions Of West Tennessee, Southern
Kentucky, and Northern Mississippi, has been
carried in the Tennessee Legislature, our
neighbor, the Nashville Banner observes:
"This is an important item-a startling
item-to the Black Republicans, and will no
doubt have an important bearing upon Doug
las chances TOR the Presidency. The Demo
crot don't tell us who carried inn that i'm
portant project how he carried it in, whether
on his shoulders or on wheelbarrow, or what
he did with il after ne got it lin the Tennes-
see Legislature" We suspect he must have
tigation to find it,"
By which we understand the Banner to deny
that any such proposition has been presented
to our Legislature. Both our contempora-
ries have fallen into error-the DeaocTot in
stating that the measure has been carried ;
and the Banner in saying it has not been
made.
Some of our friends in the Western Diyis-
ion of the State have agitated the project,
more or less. for the past twenty yeare. On
the 18th of February past, JAMES ID. PORTER,
Jr., the Representative from the counties of
Henry. Carroll. Gibson and Madison, submit
ted to the House the following:
"WHEREAs, The people of West Tennes-
see. Southern Kentucky, and OF North Mis-
sissippi, are anxious TO form themselves into
an independent State, TO be formed from the
Territory above mentioned.
Therefore BE- IL Resoired, That the General
Assembly of the State Of Tennessee hereby
consents to the formation of a new State.
whenever the assent OF the Legislatures OF
Kentucky and Mississippi, and of the Con-
gress of the United States can be obtained
Resolrci. That the Governor of the State is
hereby directed to forward copy Of the
above resolutions TO the Governors of the
States above named. and to our Senators and
Representatives in Congress-"
These resolutions were subsequently, refer
red to the House Committee on Federal Re
latious, and IL still before them. 1t was on
these facts the Democrat founded its state
ment-the Banner overlooked them.

organ. The Augusta Ca 6onstduiondiis, we
are glad to zee, warmly supports the propo-
sition to send delegates 70 the National Union
Convention, and urges the various counties
in the State to act promptly In regard to
the object of the Union party, the Chronicle
Justly Gays il is to "defeat the Republicans,
and thus prese-pe the Union. by maintaining
the Constitution intact. and enforcing the
laws made in pursuance thereof, as adjudged
by the Supreme Court We honestly believe
that the Democratic party, though many OF
its partisans claim it to be the only party
which can defeat the Republicans, is utterly
unable to beat the latter, ezoept Iy becoming
equally as odioss, and equally as dangerous, to
the peace of the country. and the perpetuity
of our institutions. In other words. the
Democrats can only defeat the Republicans
by proving themselves better FTeesoiers than
the Republicans. Such defeat would only
make matters worse and worse. and would be
only another name for the triumph of the
enemies of the South. and the enemies OF the
Union-whieh are in fact the same. Cannot
Democrats understand, and appreciate this
thing in its true lighti We hope So What
matters it to the people which wing of the
anti-slaveryists, the Republicans or the Free
soil Democrats succeed ? The South. and the
North too, should abandon them both, for, in
our honest judgment, we shall never have
permanent peace. security and safety. until both
are defeated or recognized" Who cannot
support movement having such a patriotic
object?
