Republican Party--''Things is WOrkin'."
Buffalo was painfully agitated one
day last week. A girl, fourteen years
of age, gave birth to twins-One black
and one chite child.
This is a practical operation of the
"visible admixture" doctrines Of the
Republican party. 1t would seem
that place is a good location for the
Republicans to operate in. May be,
some of the Ohio members OF that
party have been up to Buffalo. We
know some that we're there in '4S
helping to nominate Van Buren,
This looks like one Of their old tricks
except the color of the white boy !!
We suggest, if our cOtemporaries
don't object, that the black boy be
called Beecher Fremont Cameron,
and the other Greeley Chase Denni-
son. What say you, brethren Of the

War with England +!
SOME THOUSANDS OF MEN AL
READY IDLE AND ON THE
POOR RATES FOR RELIEF!

POOR RA TES FOR RELIEF!
Mr.. EDMUND POTTER, one OF tile
largest cotton manufactures Of Eng
land, addressed his people at Carlisle
as follows:
From the London Telegraph, November r.
| need hardly, perhaps, tell you Of
the position in which we are now with
regard to cotton. We get, or have
got, eighty five per cent. Of our cotton
from America; but you know that IN
fortunately the Americans are at war
among themselves, and We are not
getting a bale OF cotton IRON them;
ON the reverse, they are actually buy
ing cotton in Liverpool to send back
to the States. What is to become of
US unless we can get that eighty-fve
per cent. very greatly made up some.
where elsea There is every probabil
ity, am afraid, that within the next
year we can get very little more than
Ave or ten per cent, and we can not
get that very quickly. If we can not
get american cotton on account OF
the civil war they are carrying on
among themselves, we shall not have
a bale Of American cotton in England. !.
Un,ess something occurs to settle this
silly, foolish, mischievous, and,
think, very wicked quarrel, | see no
prospect Of The working classes in the
co ton trade being kept one half OF
one third employed. 1t is a fearful
thing to contemplate!
Mr.. Potter detailed some Of the ef
forts which had been made in Ian
cashre to increase the cotton supply
and promoteits cultivation in India
lie regretted, however, that there
were not, he believed, thirty or forty
members in the House OF Commoni
who represented the cotton trade, OIL
which there are in England and Scot
land one. sixth oil the whole popuia
tion dependent. There was g learlu
prospect before them, which would b,
hurtiu to the masters and starvation
to the operatives. Already the OK
ports of cotton have decreased man,
millions during the past year, AM
