the Lowell manufacturers are positively
sending cotton cloth to Manchester, and that
in American retail shops cotton stuffs are
marked at lower price than that at which
goods Of the same quality could possibly be
sold in Liverpool or London. So, too, our man
ufacturcrs Of hardware, who once thought
they would have TO shut up their works IL
the duties on imported wares were abol-
ished, are now, IA result OF the
American system, beating the English in
market after market from Hamburg to Mel
bourne. In Birmingham itself merchants
are buying from the United States such arti
clcs as axes, hay forks, agricultural imple-
mcnts Of every sort, and small castings Of
many kinds. According to Mr.. DALE, not
n single cartridge was made In Birming
ham for either Of the parties to the late
war, whereas the Bridgeport factories were
running day and night. On the other hand,
our English democrat can see some force in
the argument that n commercial policy
which would be ruinous for England may be
safe for the United States. He admits that,
owing to the breadth of our territory and its
extraordinary variety of climate and
soil, we are substantially independent of
other producers, and that with the unre-
stricted commercial intercourse between
the States we may be said to enjoy tho ad-
vantages Of free trade more largely than
any other nation In the world. II our
system of protective duties were swept
away tomorrow, Mr.. DALE does not be-
lieve that English industries would
receive the stimulus anticipated by
his more sanguine countrymcn. Leeds
and Bradford might become more active,
but that the Lancashire and Birmingham
manufacturers would recover their old place
in the American market seems to him ex-
tremely improbable.

their names, and especially the name OF
Judge DAVIS, for n predetermined report.
This is not an investigation to find out,
but to cover up the truth. The correspond
enoc Of MATTHEWS with ANDERSON running
through year, and continued after the lat
ter had grossly nsultcd him with a monaco
to publish the facts and his letters; his re-
markablc zeal to get this ex-Supcrvisor OF
East Fciclana an office OF high grade
abroad; his recommendations to EvAR1s,
HAYES, SMITH, and others, urging the ncces-
sity OF recognizing the "claims Of AMBER
SON; his custody of the Infamous NASH
contract and finally his refusal to tes-
tify before the POTTER Committee, make
a chain of circumstances which no personal
explanations can break. They must be
taken in connection with other parts Of the
conspiracy, in which MATTHEWS was n CEN
trail figure and chief actor.
He was one OF the visiting statesmen "
at New Orleans, and might be called per
sonal agent of HAYES there as JOHN SHEER
MAN was political and personal represent
alive combined. He was tho counsel OF
HAYES before the Electoral Commission, and
boldly marked out the policy which was
adopted by the eight TO seven. He was the
principal medium in the bargain by which
the count was contaminated. And when the
work was finished by the Inauguration Of
HAYES, the Fraudulent President, then In
the first flush of power, oxerted all his in
f1uence to send MATTHEWS to the Senate, in
order to have him near at hand as a confl-
dental adviser; and IL liz an open secret at
Washington that indirect means have been
employed TO induce Mr.. Justice SwAYNE to
retire on his pension, in order to put MAT
TIIEws on the bench, and to give HARLAN
an associate who would attain that prosti-
tuted dignity, as he did, in the form Of a
corrupt reward for aiding a crime against
the rights Of the people.
The miserable pretence that MATTHEWS
was ignorant of ANDERsoN's relation to
the Fraud, when he held the evidence
in his own hands, and sought TO have
the original papers destroyed by bargain
and sale of Office, only aggravates his guilt.
Whoever helps to whitewash this con-
spirator, or TO pallate the crime in which
he participated, will invite the public resent
ment. Judge DAVIS stands before the coun-
try as a man Of probity and honor. with the
courage Of his convictions, and without fear
of consequences, when his mind is made up.
Others may be persuaded or seduced into
conclusions against their. real judgment,
but without the sanction Of his name no re-
port, however ingenious or plausible, from
that committee, will carry the least moral
weight against the verdict which the public
has already rendered ON the letters of MAT
THEws and his completely with the Fraud.
