FIELD FOR INVENTORS

Cotton has been so long furnished to tic
looms cf the world in a shape so convc j.
cnt, in quantities that seem inexhaustib't,
and at prices which admit Of no grumbling,
that the search for competing textile STIR
stances has been almost wholly abandoned,
and the practical talent and skill Of the
country have taken other and more profit
able directions, The occurrence Of serious
political trouble in the States Of this Union,
and the growing apprehension Of wide
spread and destructive insurrecuon Of tho
servile 1aborers Of the South, upon whom,
the supply Of Cotton depends, will compel
a re-opening Of the abandoned field, and IL
new search for that which will push Cot
ton off it's throne. We are convinced that
the skl1, inventive industry and scientific
research Of the North can find no employ
ment so profitable in pecuniary way, and
so benedcent In its political aud economical
effects, rs that which looks to the discovery
