which will exercise powerful influence
in promoting their respective interests
and developing their unbeunded re-
sources. May this feeling continue to
exist as long as the East and the West
shall exist. May the people Of the East
and West ever recollect that they are
highly dependent upon each other; and
that the promotion OF their respective
interests are more fully accomplished by
their united efforts to promote their in-
terests in common. Below we give
an extract from the Scientific Amertcon,
showing some of the facts which we have
stated:
I More business of commercial char
acter. connected with manufactured
goods. has been done in New York dur
! ing the past month than III any previous
similar month. with the whole Southern
trade. One mercantile house in this city
which once enjoyed a large Southern bus
mess, has lately sold goods to the value
of 500, 900 per diem, whereas its whoi ;
! former trade never exceeded in value
| $4,000 per diem. Owing to the great
rise in the price of goods, however, the
quantity was about the same; but the
company state that their loss OF the
Southern trade has been made up by a
greatly increased Western business

prevailing feeling that If the Southern
trade we're to be completely extingushed
hereafter the loss would not be senslbly
ltelt. Domestic manufactures have been

RIGS. 1t is not perhaps generally known
that as good cloth is now made in Amer
lea AS In Europe. 1t has been supposed
that the colors of foreign wooden good
were more permanent than those dyed in
America, anu H1'fI1 hlefNHahLN anu "tu
ers entertain such opinions. They should
be abandoned at once: because Il, IL n"
tions are erroneous and injurious. The
same substances that are employed in
Europe are employed in America by
>ki1lfuI European dycrs. Some persons
also imagine that the water and the air
OF Europe are more favorable for dyeing
good colors this is also al erroneous no
ton, as there is no difference in the
character the water and air III Tue t.,
sections Of the globe.
Manufacturers of hardware have also
been very successful and busy this Fall.
When the people are kept bu<ily en-
ploycd, the country will be proportion
