from them. The Eastern States are
Overstocked with manufactures and
the West with produce, but theiI
best market is cut off. Stagnation
in trade and suspension of employ.
ment consequently follow. The South
cannot pay its debts, and much less
continue even a portion of it's former
profitable trade. The capital concen-
trated in the great commercial and
moneyed centers, finding no employ
ment in legitimate trade. is employed
in stock gambling. Such is the ac-
tual condition of the country as
brought about by radical legislation !;
but the prospect in the future is more
gloomy still Unhappily, the present
radical Jacobin Congress will be in
power long enough before the voice
of the people can be heard at the
polls to do a vast deal of mischief,
and it is quite probable that before
another election can take place the
country will be plunged into terrible
distress and revulsiOn. We would
be the last to create unnecessary
alarm, but the signs OF the times are
full of evil, and it is our duty to say

The HOUSE We Live In.

Wonders at home by familiarity

harmony and adaptation of all its
