Fruits Of the Policy

Ihespeech OF, Senator Sprague, in the U. s.
Senate, the day before thatbody adjourned for
the holidays, begging the Senate before it adj
journed over to pass the house bill for the
repeal OF the cotton tax, is the first wall of
New England, extorted by the pocket pres.
sure, against the radical reconstruction policv.
Senator Sprague shows that the New England
notion, that to crush the south would not only
give New England greater political power. but
also commercial power, was fearful delusion.
The cotton tax, instead of preventing the ex-
portation OF, cotton, and thus giving New
England cheaper article than all the rest of
the world, has had very different effect. 1t

Of the loom, is the result of the radical recon-
struction-punish the south-make treasono-
Edious policy: Cotton growing is destroyed,
New England must go to India for cotton and
she has no machinery to manufacture the sta
pie comparable with the European manufac-
turer.
Not only does the radical policy thus prom
ise to ruin the manufacturing interests of New
England, but the west is threatened with re-
suits equally disastrous. Instead of cotton
the attention of the southern planter is now
turned to corn. Experiments dnring the past
year have shown that corn at 40 cts. a bushel
will pay better in two thirds of the south than
cotton at double its present price, even with
out the tax. So our western prairies, that have
hitherto had s'virtual monopoly of corn, pork
and whisky, will in year or two have rival
in the south that will drive us out of the mark

Ambassador from China to the European powers

recognizing our commanding position in Chinese

The 9th of January.

Time was when men OF ali parties In tnla
country took pride in doing honor to the hero
of New Orleans. In those good old days Con-
gress was wont to adjourn over the anniversary
of that grand battle which ended the last war
with Great Britain in blaze of glory, and
every village had its celebration in honor OF
the earns and the man" that bearded the
British Lion and indicated the doctrine of
free trade and sailors rights" ,,r.. r,.r.,..
But times have changed. Free Trade is
odious in the eyes of the ruling party-sailors
rights are nothing compared with the rights
of the lords of the loom and spinning jenny,
and the memory of that sturdy democrat,
who, so far from being celebrated for his reti-
ceace on great public questions, was wont to
express himself in language as rugged as his
sword and to cinch it with his emphatic, !" by
the Eternal" is become whitening rebuke in
instead of a greattu1 recollection, to those
whose boast is that they can better administer
the government outside of that constitution
which he swore so sturdily must be rigidly
maintained
SO General Jackson has ceased to be saint,
and the Sth of January a holiday. except in
the Democratic Calender. Congress refused to
adjourn over that day, and the groat demo
cratic reunion in Washington had to be held
in the evening. The republican legislatures of
Indiana and Wisconsin refused to adjourn,
and the democrats had to hold their conven-
tons elsewhere than in the statehouse. %
1t was just as well. They got together all
the same, and did their business admirably.
= At Washington, the hero and the day were
honored by grand banquet, at which the
President, and all the leading democrats at
Washington were present. y, ~ 14
At Columbus, Ohio the democrats held
their state convention, nominating a state
ticket, placing Thomas w. Hubbard at the
head of it as candidate for secretary of state,
and giving unanimous expression in favor of
Geo. II. Pendleton as the next democratic cam
ddate for the presidency
At Indianapolis also a state convention was
held attended by several thousand delegates.
The convention, nominated Thomas A. Hen
bricks tor governor, appointed presidential
elections, and expressed a preference also for
Geo H Pedleton as the democratic candidate
for the Presidency.
West Virginia held state convention at
Wheeling and expressed opinion in favor Of

The Democratic State convention of Illinois
had a'meeting at Springfield. and fixed on

CHICAGO FIREs.-Chicago has suffered by
tive very severe fires during the prcsent week.
On Tuesday morning alb out o'clock, fire
broke out in helupper. part Of Farwell Hall,
and that splendid structure, which was com
pleted but few months ago, was totally des-
troyed. The Hall was erected by the Young
Mems Christian Association of Chicago at q
cost of about 100000, and took its name
from Mr.. John V. Farwell, an active member
of the association, and the largest contributor
to the fund for its erection. On each side of
the Hall, or main structure, was IA wing, used
for business purposes. One of these was also
owned by the association and one by Mr. Far
well. These were saved. So that the loss of
the Y. M. G. A. is about 100000, of which
$lO4, 900 are covered by insurance.
The second fire was the destruction of the
U. s. Brass and Clock Factory, at Austin, a
suburb Of Chicago, about miles west of the
Court House. The loss is over 100000 in
properly destroyed and l75 persons, manywith
families, are thrown out OF employment.
