If the cotton States unitedly and earnestly
wish to withdraw peacefully from the Union,
we think they should and would be allowed

The City OF Lawrence.

In former issue we gave from data before
us an account of the rise and progress Of
Lowell, as exhibited in its manufacturing
prosperity. Since then an account OF Law
renee and its mills has come under our notice
in the American Exchange and Review for
August, which will be equally interesting to
our readers The growth of Lawrence is re-
presented as alike rapid and wonderful from
the same causes. The population of this
manufacturing city has reached over twenty
thousand in as many years, 1t is about an
hours ride in the cars from Boston. In the
space of mile there is a succession of large
brick and stone buildings FIVE and six stories
high On the opposite side of these factory
buildings are blocks of brick edifces where
the operatives board, and which are under
the superintendent Of the manufacturing
corporations, and owned by them, In the
room in the factory appropriated for this pur-
pose, seventy-Gve bales of cotton are opened
each week, amounting to upwards of 10000
pounds. The carding room is four hundred
feet long. In the spinning room one girl
tends 1872 spindles. There are 104 frames in
this spinning room and 1913 spools in frame
The work is done by young girls from ten to
twelve years old, who after due practice be-
come very quick and skillful in the opera
ton Many of them earn from So to SIS per
| week In the weaving room are CAT looms
| in rapid motion, which ply with deafening
mise There are woven each week $500
pieces of cloth containg 10000 yards. In
the cloth room may be observed rivulet of
woven cotton 700 yards long passing through
the starch to stiffen it, running over hot roll
lers which smooth and dry it-after which it
is trimmed, measured, folded. recorded and
prepared for packing After this it is sent
to the store house This establishment is
only one of the many in Lawrence. The
number of hands employed in this is 1885
and tfeir wages average 81 80 cents day.
The water power Of Lawrence is one-sixth
less than that of Lowell There has been left
in the centre of the city q large public park,
| planted with shade trees. The writer closes
his sketch with an inviduous comparison be-
tween the condition Of the operatives and the
dusky cultivators of the cotton plant, where
compulsory tasks, he says, have degraded them
nearly to level with the brute creation-all
of which is mere bosh: for it is well known
that no class of laborers were better fed and
clad aud provided for than the labor popula-
ton of the South. We shall see what degree
! daton really is, which is to result from forci-
BILE liberation.
