As soon as a republic has coHpassed the
destruction Of those who wanted to subvsrt
it, there should be an end of examples, pun
ishments, and even of rewards
Great punishments, and consequently
great changes, cannot take place without in
vesting some citizens with too great power.
1t Is therefore more advisable in this case to
exceed IN lenity than IN sever ty; to Danish
but few rather than many; and to leave
t1em their estates, rather than to make a
great number of confscations Under pre-
tence of aveneing the republics cause, the
avengers would establish tyranny The
business is not to destroy the rebel, but the
rebellion. They ought to return as quick as
possible into the usual track Of government,
in which every one IS protected by the laws
and no one oppressed -H0ntcsguicui S
Spirit Of Lasvs
1t would be well for those modern States
meR{}) who arrogate so much of statecraft
to themselves, to ponder this sentiment,
taken from the writings of a close observer
of the rise AID fall Of nations, who wrote
and aourished during the middle of the,
eighteenth century. The above quotation
is peculiarly adapted to the present situa
ton Of our government, and might become
Of salutary benefit ia solving the great
problem Of reconstruction Let those whose
vindictire pride is urging retaliatory and
startling measures as the policy Of govern
ment be but guided by the superior wisdom
Of this sagacious President Of the Royal
Academy at Berlin, and we viii soon see a
better and more hopeful future dawn upon
our now PROSTATE and distracted country.

Is it better to pay out twenty-one and a
half millions annually out of the State for
the above named articles, or to keep that
amount at home and sell several millions
worth of additional articles to other States ?
Let US remember our material is abundant
and our 1oater pOtCer extraordinary 1t IS
equal to the best IN New England. Missouri
can never rival US as a manufacturing State,
for she has no water power comparable to
ours. This is an Invaluable item, for steam
cannot compete with water power, provided
by nature free of cost, IN cheapness.
Suppose that, by exemption from taxation
for term Of years, the Legislature could in
duee manu- facturers to settle among US, and
make twenty-one millions of dollars worth
of goods annually, would rot everybody say
at once: Make the experiment; you viii, IN
reality, add many millions TO the taxable
property of the State and increase her re-
sources p We know that manufacturers
will come here after while without encour-
agement. Perhaps in fifteen or twenty
years. But is it wise to wait SO long for
what we can get in a much shorter time
We urge every friend of Tennessee manu-
features to weigh this matter well and eX-
anime it in all its. bearings and
Times.

people. If this great multitude can be so
distributed in different departments of labor
as to furnish a supply Of a number of the
staple articles Of trade to each other and to
toe markets outside of the State, they will
not only keep a large amount of money at
home, but bring a large amount into the
State. We viii illustrate our meaning by
referring to the manufacture of ordinary ar
ticles of hardware, farming Implements

mon cloths As good material for all these
articles as there is in the world is 10 be

sands of laborers and mechanics. large ad-
dition to the taxable property of the State
viii be made annually and a spirit of en-
ergy and enterprise VIII be infused into the
breasts of the people. It is estimated that
not less than s., 100000 IS paid out of the
State every year to buy boots and shoes for
her people.
What an immense advantage would it be
to make them at home, and sell them to the
people of the Southern States? We have
all the raw material for tanning here in
abundance, ard It is perishing for want Of
use. Our farmers pay many hundreds of
thousands Of dollars to Louisville and Pitts
burgh for hardware and farm tools, when we
ought not only to supply our own wants but
supply the Southern markets We are two
hundred miles nearer the Southern markets
than Louisville, and our raw material is
more abundant and cheaper. There is no
finer iron in the world than ours, and the
ash, oak, pine, poplar and walnut which
grow here so plentifully, are noted for their
excellence. OF the beautiful and unrivaled
red cedar we have a monopoly. 1t is almost
unknown in other States, and is eagerly
sought after Yet, to our repToacb it must
be said that we send it abroad to be worked
up and sent back to US, taxedwith transporta-
ton both ways, and the manufacturers and
retailers profits. Beside, we send abroad
millions Of money which should be circulated
among our own people. Suppose we es-
