The Eight Million Loan-The Prospects
OF Borrow ers and Lenders.

II is a singular fact that while the govern
ment is calling for new loan Of eight millions
Of dollars, its organs in this city are urging the
immediate reinforcement Of Fort Pickens, know.
ing that the attempt must result in bloody
collision, to be followed Immediately by civil
war. Yesterday one Of these journals called
upon the administration to "act promptly in
the premises" and adds:-"Its duty is trans.
parent to the whole country. Not only must
II throw into that work the necessary reinforce
ments and supplies, but ii must notify the rebel
army in its vicinity, that any, the slightest fur

sentiments as these, and with tariff coming

mails, and even republican journals In New
York, tell us win drive the trade of England
France and all Europe to the ports Of the
Confederate States, the Secretary Of the Trea
sury seeks a loan from the moneyed interest of
New York; city whose commerce has been
ruined by the men now ia power. BY
the extracts which we published yesterday
from the London papers received by the Cana
da's mails, our readers have seen that the Lon
don Times Of March announces that "thc in
opportune legislation of the North, combined
with the reciprocity Of wants between England
and the South, will bring about considerable
modification IN British relations with Ameri-
ca" that /" the Morrill, tariff gives the South the
best excuse for hostility, and cuts of the North
from the sympathy Of Its friends" and that

possess it would have some influence. Such
has ceased to be the case. Good men,
actuated by high and exalted political motives,
have lost all weight in face of the corrupt and
sbominable despotism which prevails at
Albany, respecting our municipal matters.
The aggregate of rent of houses and real estate
on New York island, Is about thirty-six mil
lions of dollars. Our taxes are twelve mil
lions! Over thirty per cent of the income Of
landed property is thus passed over yearly,
into the hands of whom? OF such horde of
swindlers and peculators, as the world has
never before seen. The feudal sovereignty of
shoulder-hittiDg regime, had been, for several
years, the acknowledged back ground, the i'm
pregnable defence, of local robbery so gross
and execrable, that the possibility of its being
rendered worse was not admitted; yet the re-
publican politicians Of the interior have fast
ened such new burthens upon us, to further the
Infamous ends of their party, that the lowest
depth of wholesale roguery and thimble rig
ging, would seem to have been reached.
Intelligent, honest and influential indi-
viduals of all parties, should unite in devising
legal measures to throw of the yoke Of the
Albany Legislature. If we are successful here,
the movement will be Initiated in other large
cities which are misgoverned, and New York
will enjoy the honor of having taken the
initiative of one of the most necessary reforms
of the present time.

SOUTHERN vs. NORTHERN MANUFACIUhES-Wo
are informed from reliable source that numer-
GUS companies are now being organized within
the precincts of the Confederate States with
a view of developing their water power re-
sources and the establishment of manufactures
IN the new republic for the fabrication of those
kinds OF goods usually furnished by the New
England States, especially the States of Con-
necticut and Massachusetts. 1t will be inferred,
therefore, from this statement that the South.
rons are determined to be independent in
manufacturing as well as political point of
view of the North.
The newspapers of the South come to hand
with their columns filed with displayed adver.
tisements, calling upon their readers to patron
ize home manufactures" and, as far as we can
learn, this little admonition is not being disre-
garded. In yesterdays paper we presented
for the perusal of our readers specimens OF
these advertising appeals.
We take this occasion to say that q very grave
error prevails among the people of the North
in respect to the manufacturing and handicraft
resources of the South. 1t has been alleged,
time after time, by the republican press, that
Southern manufacturers cannot compete with
those of New England, even were they
to make the attempt; but the logical or philo.
sophical reasons for, such conclusion have
been as frequently obscured from the public.
Many of those men who worked and voted for
the election of Mr.. Lincoln will learn, perhaps
too soon. thatthe South can manufacture goods
such as agricultural implements, farm wagons,
carriages, boots, shoes and brogans and like
articles-as we'll as the men of the North, if the
capitalists Of the new confederacy shall yea
lousy push their "home manufacturing" pro-
ject to q finality. To those who are uniformed
as to the real cause why the South has not paid
attention to manufacturing industry we will
explain. Heretofore the people of the South
have found it necessary to devote their whole
time to the Development and growing of the
great staples for which they are worldwide
celebrated, and in charity to the North gave
them the job to make the Implements whereby
these were husbanded. Consequently the North
ern States have had their share, indirectly, of
the profits of the Southern crops. There is
nothing under heaven to prevent the South
from manufacturing every article necessary for
domestic use. She has water power facilities
second to none in the world, and If the "home
manufacture" system shall be adopted, the New
England mechanics would soon wend their way
where they may find remunerative labor; and
in short time the Yankee master manufac-
turers and capitalists would find, to their sur.
prise, their factories idle and rotting over their
heads.

VICE PRESIDENT STEPHENS on THE QUESTION
OF THE DAY-We publish to-day full
report of Mr.. Alexander H. Stephens
Savannah speech, and as it is an Of
fetal declaration of the policy of the South
ern confederacy, it should be attentively
read. Mr.. Stephens opens with an analysis
and defence Of the new constitution, recapitu-
lating the principal changes made by it, and
proving very conclusively that it is better than
the old one. He makes number of good points
in the matter of the tariff, and demolishes the
fallacy through which the rest of the United
States have been taxed to enrich New England
manufacturers and Pennsylvania iron mon
gers. Mr., Stephens does not hesitate to &C
knowledge that the new government has
slavery for its foundation, and claims
that the theory Of the equality of races is
untenable. Slavery, he declares, is the nor
NAL condition Of the negro, and the new con-
stitution is based upon that principle. Mr..
Stephens believes that the civilized world will
recognise the right Of the Southern people to
organize their government upon this principle
Referring to the border States, he believed that
at no very distant day they would come into
the Southern confederacy. If they should con-
clude to stay out, the cotton States can get
along very comfortably alone Mr.. Stephens
looks forward to the time when the great West
will separate from the Eastern and Middle
States, and cast its lot with the South. With
such odious Liquidation as that which gave us
the Morrill, tariff, and with the establishment Of
free trade at the South, it is not by any means
impossible that this prophecy may be realized
il our day. On the whole, Mr. Stephens
speech is a statesmanlike exposition Of the views
of the moderate Southern leaders. Shall we
have an answer to II from Washington?
