OUR ALMOST EXTINCT COMMERCE.

flcurisl:ing commerce is humiliating ina
National sense and most depressing on
our producing and manufacturing inter
ests. f
The commerce of the Atlantic hasaI-
most passed out of our hands and that of
the Pacific, destined TO be the most exten.
sive in the World, will soon be absorbed
by England if something is not speedily
done to secufesitfor us,sto 7whom7 on nc
count of our Pacific Railroad it naturally
belongs. The friends Of the Australian
Mail steamship company are quito conf
dent that congress will aid them tosusttin
their line Of steamers to Australia THIS
line has been kept up by the cntcrrrisa
and cncray Of Mr.. w. Ii. Webb Of Nyss
York whon now finds himselfin competition
with the Oriental and Pcninsular steam
ship company, largely subsidized by It's
Government, and without aid from oer
Government he will he forced to wi5ss4
draw and thus the. immensely valuable
trade Of Australia will be lost to Us. 1Ee
new MARKETS opened 10 our produces aisl
manufactures by the Pacific trade makcthe
revival of our Shipping of interest to every
section and this fact III view of the great
contrast between Englands commercial
prosperity and our wrecked co.m,ncrae,
will no doubt induce Congress, in pare at
Least, 10 follow her example

When we find tie Mi.solli Republican,,
the great Democrat Journal Of the. WSsts'
dcviating SO far from the Old Democratic
doctrine as to urge the General Govesps
mcnt to build railroads from the .IEas
jgtlie Svessr, SO sts4 to compel aereducfiofi o.
the enormous freight charges which a.
mount to actual contiscation, it is not at
;.il surprising to see Democratic Journals
end Democratic statesmen educating y
system Of subsidies to steamship lines
similar tb that which has built np Eng
lands immense commercial marinc. Ycri-
