READY MADE CLorHNG.-By means of the free
trade which they have heretofore enjoyed, the Yam
KEGS have almost entirely supplanted our tailors-
very useful portion of society has thus been ma
terialy damaged if not entirely Topped off 1t was
avery easy thing for the Yankees to do this. In
menSe clothing establishments, with immense capi,
tai, in New York, had nothing to do but to send
their surplus production here Our merchant tail
ors, of course, could not stand it The Yankees
paid no duties, and had the whole market to them
selves. This business hope, is pretty efectually
broken up for the future so far as the Yankees are
concerned. Heavy duties will soon teach them that
their day is over. Richmond Dispatch.

SHoEs.-Why should we be dependent on the
Yankees for shoes? We have all the materials for
making them here, and we have plenty of work
men. The Yankees have driven our shoemakers
out of the trade, for the simple reason that they
had to pay duties here, and the market was free
to them. 1t will be managed differently hereafter,
we hope. We hope tariff amounting to prohi-
btion will be put, not only on Yankee shoes, but
on every thing Yankee.-Rich. Disp.

BEAUTIFUL THoUaHr.-There have been so
many beautiful things said and written about death,
and SO many consoling and happy conceptions Of
the souls existence after death, that he must be a
bold writer indeed to essay to engage the readers
attention with extended article on this subject
few days ago while reading article in the Elec-
tic Mdgasine of recent date, We were touched with
the closing paragraph If the reader does not
with us that the idea and language Of this writer is
beautiful exceedingly" then we think he has never
touched his ear to the lips of dying child.
Never think, reader that the dear ones you
have seen die had far to go to meet God after they
parted from YOU Never think, parents who have
seen your children die that after they left you they
had to traverse dark solitary way, along which
you would have liked Gf it had been possible) to
lead them by the hand. and bear them company till
they came into the presence of God. You did so,
if you stood by them till the last breath was drawn
You did bear them company into Gods very pre-
sence, if you only stad beside them till they died
The moment they left you, they were with him
The slight pressure of the cold fingers fingered with
you YETI but the little child was with his Saviour"

THE RIGHT KIND OF ECONOMY.


The following seasonable remarks are by lady
who knows what she says:)
To be economical, you must need great many
things and never get them, you must make one pair
of Sunday shoes last seven or eight months, you
must have black silk dress, (if you are so fortu-
nate as to have one at ALL and that black dress
must last a long, long time You must turn it up
side down. inside over, and alter the sleeves dozen
times and still keep it for Sunday wear and when
YOU cannot By any means make it look new, You
must cut it up and make aprons OF it. You must
knit your own stockings, make your own dresses,
wash your own collars, make your brothers or
husbands pantaloons, etc, knit their socks cut out
the negroes clothes, and help to make them; be
always busy about something useful, and so set
good example for your servants who must be made
to patch their blankets and clothes in the summer
time when rainy days come, and they cannot work
out You must sell butter, and chickens, and eggs
to get money to pay for little things such as coffee
tea, sugar, spice, pepper, starch, camphor, pare
gorc caomel, and all the namelesS little items be-
longing to comfortably kept house. You must
make your own vinegar, your own carpets, your
own pickles, and your own preserves, and you Will
see how much shorter your store account will be
at the end of the year. And how much brighter
YOUR husbands, or your fathers or your brothers
face will be when he looks it. People are apt
to think that economy is dreadful thing, but it is
not the truth. We have to give up many foolish
wants, that is true; but are We not repaid, oh
more than repaid by the bright smiles and loving
words of the dear ones we love much. NJ

Our Nominee.

1t is with unalloyed pleasure we this
day place at our masthead the name of
Col. WILLIAM II. WALLACE, as our
nominee for Delegate to Congress; and
in doing this we are not compelled to
inform any citizen of onrTerritory who
it is that claims their suffrage. Col.
Wallace has resided in our midst for
the past eight years. lie is bona .fde
citizen. His interests, his sympathics,
and his home, are all here. He came
to cast his lot with US for veal or for
woe. Sink or swim, survive or perish,
he is with us. lie came at his own ex-
pensc, as most of us have done. His
arrival was not heralded as that of a
Federal appointee, but as quiet, gen.
tlemanly, and dignifed citizen. We
verify believe that, Notwithstanding the
Colonel is a lawyer, and that he has
been an activepolitician, always battling
for what he believed to be the right, he
has perhaps not personal enemy i'll
tie Territory.
Col. Wallace possesses rare qualifica-
tons for the position for which he has
been selected-combining talent, elo-
qucuce, integrity, aud tirnness. No
opposition, however overwhelming. has
ever awed or caused him to falterin his
devotion to principles. He has stood
firm and unwavering in the midst Of
party domination, while against him
have the poisoned shafts Of party malice
been directly aimed. It was seen that
he was rising star in the political fir
mament and the object sought was tho
annihilation Of u formidable opponent.
These were the considerations which
induced the uominationof Col. Wallace.
While there were other aspirants tor

the still more damnable art of ballot

damnable rule. We urge our friends
political, and honest men of all parties,
to guard we'll the sanctity of the ballot
box. See that none vote except those
who have the right of franchise. Sec
if possible that hundreds do not vote
where only tens are found. Our can.

We say to our readers that Col. Wal.

enter at once into the canvass with his
opponents, and make the tour Of the
Territory with thcm-especially east OF
the mountains, where he is less known
personally than in other portions Of the
Territory. In his absence, he is and
will DO ably represented by Messrs.
Anderson, Evans, and others, west Of

We say to Republicans throughout
the Territory, be watchful, be vigilant,
aud glorious triumph awaits you.

rights with Christians. At tdis very moment
