inaue peglnhlnS Id TINS country. The enOr-
nous population now coming forward to oc-
cupy the great fertile valley of the Mississippi
will require an amount of manufacturing in.
dustry of which we now have little concen-
ton. A very large proportion OF this work
can be and doubtless will be done within our
national limits. Legislation, if not the nat.
ural course of labor, will doubtless determine
this to be the result. The labor in question
will be done in part by steam and in part by
water-power; by the latter always. where
practicable, when great amounts of power
are required, and operations are to be carried
on on grand scale; because it is the cbea,-

Where, in other words, Is the best, the most

survey will demonstrate and put beyond doubt
and cavil, that the power is here,-bere in
Maine; fact. we are well assured Of our
selves, but which, as matters stand, we can
not convince others OF, and especially capital
lists, who act only upon definite knowledge
and whom it Is chiefly important to convince
say, that of the immense amount of mann
factoring labor to be done in this country in
the years to come, or rather the part of It to
be done by water-power, we here in Maine
ought to have and can have the lions share
and can hold it against the coal-mines Of
pennsylvania or the vast bituminous deposits
OF the central valley, and hold it because run

relatively advantageous position as regards
manufacturing, requires, filthy, that reference

important branches of latef. Our climate is
such that proper agricultural work can be pros

the year, and for nearly as many months out

Representative Ashlsy's resolution, pub
ished yesterday morning, would probably
have taken the country by surprise, ii it had
not been heralded in all the newspapers a day
or two beforehand. A searching investiga-
ton of the Presidents Official conduct is what
the country expects. Congress has already
appointed committees to report upon those
incidents Of his administration which have
seemed especially Objectionable. It would
have been well to wait for those reports before
proceeding to consider what shall be done
provided the result of the authorized inquiries
corresponds to the popular impression. Mr..
Ashley, perhaps for the sake of identifying
his name with the movement, has chosen to
anticipate the reports, and the House, not
choosing to be put in false position by re-
jecting his resolution, has instructed the Ju-
dietary Committee to inquire whether the
President deserves impeachment. That Com
mittee will probably wait at least for the fur
ther information which is expected from the
New Orleans Committee and from Mr.. Pixies
Special Committee before taking any definite
action. ........

The attack Of the Press upon Shepley for his

tack Gen. Shepley. We published commu-

his opinions in this respect, but we expressly
disavowed any sympathy with that opposition.
For the publication of that communication, the
Press is responsible. If the Argus chooses to
say the publication was ill-judged, we might

ventioB. We say they might though the
pro-slavery party sent TO Congress but few
men remarkable for either gentlemanly in
stinots or Legislative talents. If brow-beatiug
and bullying, gutta-percha canes, bowie
knives, and tobacco juice are qualifications TO
sit in legislative body, the Convention now
sitting for Alabama may be found lacking. If
ardent devotion to slavery and the Rebellion
be qualifications for reconstruction conven-
tion then the State of Alabama is in fearful
peril from the Vaccinations of the body
now in session, for it contains none but
loyal and thoroughly anti-slavery men,
Already ordinances have been intro
duced annulliDg the laws passed under Rebel
sway, whereby the money of the widows
and orphans of Alabama was emptied into this
bouomless treasury of the Confederate states,
and never again heard from. II is this mea-
sure which the New York Herald styles "pur-
suing private feuds in public law" The state
ment that the Convention has even listened to,
still less endorsed or adopted any measure of
prescription or Acknowledgement is untrue.
On the contrary, on the second day the Con
vention adopted a resolution memoraizing
Congress "to remove all political disabilities of
thOse.citizens of Alabama who have aided in
the reconstruction of the State on the plan
proposed by Congress-" As its first step has
been against prescription, we have the right
to believe it will 60 as far in its magnanimity
as it can without surrendering the State to
Rebels, disfranchising its own constituency,
and overturning its own work. We hope and
believe the Convention will endeavOr fairly to
represent the rights and interests of the whole
people of Alabama.

The A1abrma ConventIon.

From The n. y. Tribune.
The official proceedings of the first two days
of the Constitutional Convention of Alabama
have come to hand. We have examined them
with some care in view of the persistent efforts
of the aristocratic and ex-Rebel papers to bring
this Convention and all Of its class into ridi-
Guile. 1t must be remembered that the Repub-
lican party at the South corresponds in social
position to the Democratic party at the North.
Here the great "unwashed' party has never
been ashamed of the fact that most of the
ignorance depravity, and dirt to be found at
the North votes the Democratic ticket. 1t has
pTotessed to be proud of its devotion to the
interests of political rights OF the poor and the
ignorant; and so far as it has been sincere in
this principle we honor the party tor it, and
see therein a reason for its former great sue
cess and ascendancy.
But now that the boot is on the other leg,
now that the working millions OF the South
stand identified with party that has shown
itself as democratic towards them as the old
Democratic party at the North ever was to-
wards the foreign and pauper vote, and, in
consequence, are voting the Republican ticket,
does it behoove the professed organs OF the
poor of the North to turn up heir noses be-
cause the poor of the South are meeting in
convention aud framing constitutions
Can party that sends to the Senate of the
United States men who like Salisbury, Patter
son, and the late MoDOugall, have often been
too drunk to vote except as they were told,
nghtfully sneer if a convention OF the labor
ing classes of a State in which Democracy has
always reigned supreme shows some mem
bers but little acquainted with parliamentary
usagel
But, in fact, the Alabama Convention has
done nothing as yet that does not characterize
1t as eminently worthy to represent the people
OF Alabama, and 6t in intelligence to represent
any state in the Union. The Convention
| would have been more truly representative Of
ti, .uo whole people of the State if the conserya-
gHI tI party had voted, and elected about three

General Grant stands in the way of several
nice little schemes for the Presidential success

camps. He stands in the way Of the radical
Chase faction, and they are sorelv distressed
about it. They say he is no statesman and
not much of a general, though he did bottlo

bare idea of such man as Grant BECOMING

on the great issues of the day, he could settle
all these doubts at once. Why dom he speak
