Commander-in-Chief of the Armies.
AQUILARA was afterwards appointed
Secretary Of State and War, so that
the government Is now in running

stirring proclamation, il which lie
SAYS:
In the act of beginning the struggle

solemn duty to consummate her indepeu-

giving herself democratic Government,
she oblisates herself to become republi-
can. This double obligation, contracted

Imported and manufactured com
modities, Boots and Shoes, Hardware,
Furniture, and miscellaneous goods
have been about the same proportion
for the two years. Is it to be won
dered that trade is dull? The far
mers of the country who constitute
the bulk of the population, finding
the prices of their produce but about
one half what they were able to real
ize one year ago, feel that there
should be a proportionate decline in
prices of articles consumed by them.
and while the present scale Of prices
arc maintained many are unwilling
and others unable to buy. With the
present disproportion in the prices of
articles they have to sell and those
they would buy, nearly every one
will manage to get along with as few
articles Of merchandise as possible,
even though it may Inconvenience
them much to DO so.
Unless farm produce takes rise.
there must be general decline in
merchandise before business will once
more be active. At present, prices
are arbitrarily and unnaturally high,
causing stagnatIon in business that
cannot long continue without disaster
TO merchants who have purchased on
credit and rely upon the brisk trade
Of years past 20 meet their liabilities.
True, general marking down of
goods would be severely felt by many
dealers, but We see no other remedy,
aud we believe wisdom would dictate
such course, fG- sooner or later it
must be done. If crops prove as
abundant as present Indications pre-.
diet, there IS little hope Of rise in
farm produce, and other articles must
eventually come to level with them
and the sooner such state of things
IS o. fought about the better it will be
for the country as we'll as the indi-
yidual dealers. The producing class
Of our country must not be made to
suffer ! II the losses Of trade, else we
may cons. der ourselves bankrupt
