when the people will be called upon to
vote for Judge Of the Supreme Court,
and yet neither Judge Williams nor

Williams during the reputation move.
ment in Allegheny County, the fact
that he was nominated by the leading
repudiators, and that they are urging
his election, is sufficient to fix the stain
of close affinity with that party upon
the candidate Of the Radical party.
Judge Williams knows whether he
aided or denounced the reputation
movement. He could state in ten lines
his opinion upon that important ques-
tion. We have called upon him to do
so in order that the people may vote
upderstandingly. But he will not reply,
Under such circumstances the failure Of

We are somewhat astonishcd to notice
that the Quaker city OF Philadelphia
puts forth a claim to beirg, not only the
greatest manufacturing city on this con-
tinent, but, with the exception Of Lon
don, the greatest in the world. We are
familiar with its advantages as quiet
ard pleasant claim to be a great indus.
trial centre, will be news to many. As
the matter is one, however, in which our
merchants are directly interested, and
the Consumers of goods indirectly, we
give a brlei synopsis Of its claims.
In 1860, according to the Census re,
turns, there were in Philadelphia, G,298
manufactures having a capitol of S73,-
318,S85, which employed 90, 900 hands,
and produced an annual value Of S136,
100000, Recently, Mr.. EDWIN T.
FRrEDLEY, a we'll known author, has
prepared volume Of 100 pages, On the
Manufactures of Philadelphia, and &C.
monstratod that in 1866, the factories
produced over hro hmdrea millions Of
.tdplc goods. This is an astounding ex-
hibit; no other city on the American
continent approximates this amount, In
1855, the State of Massachusetts, inclu-
ding Boston, Lowell, ana all her famous
manufacturing towns, did not produce
more than two hundred and forty mill.
ions. In 1860, New York had only
seven small Cotton Goods Manufactures
and no Woolon mills Philadelphia is
now the commercial ceLtre of the two
hundred and sixty Cotton and Woolen
factories, and has besides, several thous-
and hand looms, Of which the annual
ploluct is equal to that Of seventy addi.
t.onol mills Of average size The class
Of Dry Goods manufactured in phila-
dy'rhia is Of those low priced staple
goods, which are especially adapted to
tie wants Of the people in the Middle,
Western, and Southern States. Mill
ious Of yards Of Pantaloonory, Cotton,
AIDES, Checks and Stripes, Ticking, Os
nabargs, kentucky Jeans, and Narrow
Textile Fabricbs, are made there every
year, OF Carpetings, the produc
amounts to nearly ten millions of dollars
,i Ready Made Clothing, to eighteor
millions Of Refined Sugar, over twcnt
millions; Of Boots and Shoes, over fy'
millions Of Stoves nearly three millions
phipa. claims to have the largest Mil
try Goods Manulactcry, the largc'
Chemical factories, the largest Cordag
factory, the largest Book selling house
anl the largest Locomotive Works auo
Machine shops in the United States
It is quito evident, that her proximit
TO the Coal Mines and Iron Beds, hC
. low rents and facilities afforded mechar
les for comfortable and economical liz
ing, have given Philadelphia start i
manufacturing, which nothing but be
want of enterprise can rctard. 1t
moreover evident that with the pr,
gcss already made in manufacturing
the Philadelphia market is worthy IL
attsntjoa Of those who wish to purcha'
goods at first hand.

THE Journal Of Commerce recently
publ ished letter from a correspondent
in one of the Southern States, the writer
of which says I" If the politicians will
" only let the South quietly reconstruct
{ s'their soil, the crops, instead OF being
6 worth four hundred millions of dollars
" per annum, will in short time be
" worth thousand millions ! Wha.
eve want, above all things, is PEACE.
" Political anarchy is ruinous" This
is undoubtedly true. But the Radicals
will not allow peace to visi the South,
ern States. They desire to keep up agi.
tation. When one law is accepted by
the soushern people, they follow it
with another still more stringent and
exacting. In the meantime, the people
are denied representation in the National
Legislature the labor system of ten
States is broken up and rendered COM
paratively unproductive, and the whole
country menanced with untold disasters
of business and financial character
The Radicals are determined to continue
"political anarchy" although th0y
know that such a course is ruinous to
all the material interests of the nation.
This point is important in the present
contest. If Congress is sustained by a
verdict from the people, they will con-
tinue agitation to the ruin of business,
both Ncrth and South. On the con.
trary, if the Radicals are defeated, peace
will be restored, and prosperity once
more bless the land from North to
South.-Age.

THE Constitution of the United
States made this Government. 1t crea,
ted three branches-the Legislative, ex-

cannot be interfered with by any other

What Congress Will Do.

We are not among those who sec an
unmixcd blessing in the late partial
defeat Of the Republicans in Ohio and
Pennsylvania. but VIC are very far
from regarding our discontinue as
wholcly an evil. One important re
form, toward which this reverse will
contribute, will bo the practices Of a
strictsr economy on the part of Con-
gress. The reckless extravaganza
which marked the appropriations Of
the last regular session did more harm
to the republican party, to say moth
ing Of the country, than all the other
bluuders combined. A rosolute ma
iority in both houses Of Congress,
including most of the members of the
Finance Committees, resisted the
foolish expenditures of money so long
as they could, but we're overborne by
the vote Of a majority Of the Repub-
licans, strengthened as it was by the
solid vote of tho Democratic members
Tho latter voted for nearly every
appropriation, good, bad, aud indif-
fereut, for the purpose of loading
down the Republicans with as heavy
Il weight az possible; but this does
not excuse the Republicans who as
sumcd the load.
We now have assurances, which we
know to be Of weight, that on the
opening Of the next session, an eco
nomicol reform, sweeping and search
ing in its character, will be iuaugu-
rated and sustained, and made n part
or the permanent policy of the Re
publican party. Tho economical
minority Of the last session will be
tho retrcn.hiug majority Of future
sessions. Care will be taken that the
peoples hard earned money is not
squaudercd on unimportant objects.
It is time that this change were
wrought, aud if the lato elections have
served to arouse careless and over
confident Republican Congressman
to a sense of their duty, aud, what is
moro to the point, n sense Of the
needs Of the party, let us DO thankful
for dcrcat.-Rey.
