NORTHERN INDUSTRY SUFFERING.
The stagnation Of business throughout
the Northern States is pereeptible in
every department The root of the evil
strikes so deep that even high tariffs and
all the special legislation that has been
enacted for the benefit of the manufao-
turers of that section cannot maintain
them in a fouFishing state

The Philadelphia Age, Of the 3lss,
quotes from an interior paper in Penn
sylvania as follows:
We learn through private letter, dated
Harrisburg, 10th, that notice has been
served on the nailers Of that city that r..
duction Of twenty-five per cent would BE
made on the first Of January. One dollar
per ton will also be taken of the boilers
and all other hands in the same proper.

in Duncannon and Fairview, and will throw
out of work from seven 10 eight hundred
men. We understand there il DISPOSE

reduction. The movement will commence
at Duncannon. The notice served will ex-

burg, will stop with about three DAYS

The Pittsburgh Coam,rcial Of the 18th
instant, says:
The manufacturers here fnd it impossi-

manufacturers, and they have no alterna-

factories have already suspended opera
tons, and several others will close to-day.
At least four hundred workmen will be
thus thrown out of employment for an
indefinite period, and many persons who
are indirectly interested in the business
will suffer more OF less.
These ruinous results Of Radical
policy are bringing the people to their
senses. Public and general mischiefs
can be endured for long time, out they
inevitably produce, in the course of
things, personal and individual injury.
There is not a man acknowledging
American citizenship to-day, who does
not experience in his private affairs the
evils Of Radical misgovernment--a dis
ordered currency an onerous and I'M
equal taxation nearly half and that the
fairest and most productive portion orthe
country, lying worse than fallow a
feeling of distrust pervading every busi-
ness pursuit This is the general pros
tration from which the people intend to
redeem themselves by ejecting from
power the party that has brought it
about
