The expense of livin must always be less here than at the North.

Our operatives are admitted to be reniarkably frugal, industrious, easily taught and oontfolled, and we have an unemployed class of many thou. sands from which to draw In the fu ture. The North and Europe will contribute largely in operatives when ever there is a demand for them, and thus nianufacturing will advance im. igration.- ' Tho English, in menufacturing, mix India and other inferiot cottone with the American, while 'we use the best staplo the world produces. The conAequence is that where our goods have been introduced abroad they are preferred to the Enghlsh The for 'eign manufacturer has been known to brand his goods-drills, for instance -as Ameriean. Your (Coni>mtteq have had before them carefully *bmpiled statements, showing the' cost of manufacturing cottoh North and South. They are fully satisfied that yarns can be manu faotaed here, transported to the North, pay a commiasion of"$tro per cent, for selling,' be sold at the cost of Northern prdduotion, and yet yield a net profit of fle. oents per lb. And tbiat certain classes of colored goods can be pioduced here and sold in the North, at the cost of production of similar goods there, and yet Ti.ld a profit of over teni contQ pr 'lb. Euglish manufacturers have admit ted,' after inspecting the books of same -of our Southern factories, that we produced"yarns'more cheaply than they did.

Attention is already directed to oui country as the proper field for the cotton manufacturer. Indeed, we be. Hove no astute business man will en. gage in it elsewhere, and within a few years most of those already employed at the North in this branch of indus try, will, as some are doing now, die. mantle their their mills and either move South, or engage in other branob es of manufacturing. It cannot be long before machinery for working long staple will be intro. ddced ; and Savannah, Charleston and Wilmington, with their facilities for procuring cheap coal, will vie with each other in the manufacture of our sea island cotton ; and soon the busy hum of the spindles will be heafd n every water-course from Virginat Texas. It is the belief of your Committee that the planters may, with profit to themselves, aid in producing this re sult,'by combining together in joint itook aseoointiona, and erecting cotton mills of sufficient capacity to work up their cotton crops. These mills should be managed, not by the planters them selves, but by experienced and capa, ble-business men, who wili give them their undivided attention, with ex perts in charge of the mechanical de partmonts. Manufacturing comprises ,o many details, that its successful prosecution requires the most careful and systematic management. With ?ll our advnntages, inattention to do tails and careles manegement cannot but produce los. From two and one-half to three hun ired millions of dollars would be ad.ded to the value of our cotton crop, if we wore to mannfacture it itrto yarns and woven goods. Of this, a large amount would be..paid out for wages, and that .o a class that is now not only unem ployed in adding to the wealtb of the aountry, but for the most part, a burthen upon their parents or the public. The enormous increase in the imount of money. received by the Bouth, would be the direct advantage lerived from manufacturing The merchaht, the mechuio, the agrioul: turist, the -banker, the .real-, atate owner, and in fact every citizeb of our aountry: would be incidentally bene. itted.

In April, 1861, the Into flirardl Hal. lock, cditor of the New York .fournai of C'ommrcrce, published an editorial in that paper in which he declared that one thing would be demonstrated by a war upon the Southern States, riz,' "That we have not, and in the nvent of [the subjugation of the Southorn States are not likely to have, such a government as the -con. gtitution contemplates, or sneh as our rathers understood to be instituted, when the Union was formed.

Although professors of physiology do sneer at those simple-minded folka u ho "pensively" look :t the past, and t who think there were once better days nod better me;. than it is our lot now to look upon, ytt one cannot help sometimes turning ovt'r the leaves of thoso obsolete records aod getting from them-what comfort we mav. There was, once on a time, a inan named George Washington, whom a foolish orator-of eourme from the be tnightod South-snid would always be "first in the hearts of his coutntry. men," never dreaming of the unborn Lincoln or any other Ulysses than him of Ithaca. lie was a soldier who never shed a drop of unnee'cesanry blood. le was a President who, when a house w as ofl'ered to him-not by a set obsequionms turf,-huntera, (such never ventured near him,) but by a cotmnonwealth-refused it., and who did not think that the patronage of the government was of unseated land, on which all the adult settlers of his own family were to find a hoie. He never pensioned a relative and nevor packed a court. Look at hi--this Washington's record, we find some curious things us to "relatives'' and "jnd s," wa, hich it is refreshing] to lead in the ligh' of the presant dispensation. W ashing- I ton married a widow, and we believo had no brothcr-inhaw-certainly no- t body married into the family in order I tU "operate" through the connection ; and, while there was about that ti mau a good deal of tspeculation in the fuuds, none of h is pet moldier s were caught, dabbling in it and dismisse l from office. lie did not toleet as hi.i s advisors those who had given him the best douceurs. lie chose men of rea- F sonably good character to represent < the country abroad, and did not think < it neces.ary, on the homuoopathie principle of "similicx similhbus," to send to the dissolute Bourbon court of the Escurial an adopt. But, though t childless, he had one who stood to t him in the place of son-a nephew, lluahrod Washington-who, as a ] youth, had fought. in the buattles of the revolution, and who was destined 1 in lntcer i- p onted by another P'reit.. ., ) to I; , for more than thirty years, at ih! i . .: *. . . shall, a pillar f t'ju i' . j dei; ry. Soon after the first l'resident's induction to office, Mr. Washington, a young Virginia lawyer, mado mod est application to his uncle to be ap pointed District Attorney for the Eas tern Federal District of that then unmutilated commonwealth. It was a uoderato request., difidlently made. On the 27th of July, 1789-we give the date, in order that President Grant may refer to it in case any more of the family are troublcsamne George Washington replied: "You cannot doubt my v:ishaes to see you appointed to any any office of honor or emolument in the new gov ernment to the duties of which you are competont ; but, however deserv ing you may be of the one you have suggested, your standing at the Bar would not justify my nomination of you, in preforanco to sone of the old est and most esteemed general court lawyers of your own State, who are desirous of this appoinItmlent. My ~ political conduct in nolumiations, 'event if I wore uninfluenced by principle, must be exceedingly eircum.ispoet alnd proof againsct Just such criticism, for ihoeoyes of Argus are upon me, atnd no slip will pass unnoticed that, can be improved into a supposed partialii ty for friends nnd relatives." Alid Washinlgton hesitated, aoes k'nowledged the force of "just criti cism," ventured, great and lure as he was, on no defiane of public opinion, and refused. It is only, as we are tov1',- a differe'nt sort of people who "rush in where angcels fear to treaid." So much for nepotism in tincient days! Now for the judicciary. When a taacaney occurs in our time on any bouch, and especially the Federal Benoh, great is the nagitation of the professional heart. Every lawyer in the'l'and of the dominanot party thinks himself fit, and every coterie .of lo. cad politics is i;n disturlaane. If the oha'neo presents itself ,it a roomont, as. now, whet, vast pecuniary anrd cor po rate interests are on the edge~ of 1:itid gation, a new element of agitat,ion is invoked, and great aggregation oif do ling.uent debtors take the field to.in iuenc-generally with success-the appoitmens. low wast It in anoIent days, when we were as brothers-"ln the-bravo old.days of old?" .
