WE take pleasure in calling atten-

practical and esteemed fellow-towns-
man, Dr.. Joshua Cobb, on the sub
ject of building a Blast Furnace in,
Or neal town. The proposition will,
doubtless, meet the appreciation ofall
and could it be reduced to practice,
would prove to be the dawn of n
brighter day, in the future of our
commercial prosperity. AS just re-
remarked, the proposition will he APP
proved by all, but success does not
follow mere appreciation it must be
attended with substantial aid, or it
will prove to be another of the many
bubbles that have swelled and burst

however, that there is "A sober earnest
ness in the originators of this propo-

success. We tender our columns to

Secretary Boutwell's monthly statement of

duction Of ll,Gil, $50 for the month OF
March and the monthly report of the
Sinking Fund Commissioners, shows a
payment and reduction Of our Stale debt
during last month of S170, ,5O6,45. Such
things .have become so common, they are
looked for by the people AS matter OF
course, aud public expectation is never
disappointed. The Democratic organs are
cternally scolding about the extravaganza
and corruption Of the Republican party.
This, also, has become so common, as
hardly to excite remark or comment, or to
be considered worthy of refutation. They
have fallen into the chronic bad habit OF
complaining and scolding, and do it they
must and will, regardless of the planest
facts, and in utter defiance and contempt
of the popular intelligence.
