although I discover, from the report of what

who are near to uie undertook truthfully to
correct the atnteineut, he siill persevered in
it; fori say' here wilh soletuu regard to
truth that no such thing as congratulation
by Mr. Gidditigs, of Ohio, did occur, such
as stated by him, and none of any kiud to
the best of .my recollection. I see that a
Representative replied to him, that he was
parsing up the ai.-le, and from the fact tbat
some mention, of his name was made to
which I replied wilh a smile, the mistako
may have occurred. That was all, uolliiug
more.
T will say further that as my friend Mr.
Clitigman, who is not here, and will not like

effect that be was standing at the time at

however, that bo has his seat next to mc,
persons not aequniuted with where he was
might suppose that be was sitting at the

ever, that in the remarks made by him upon

increase of Southern manufactures. It
think thst the people of it section are cot
aware of the rapidity of its progress. In
the concluding psrt of the article are the
following reflections i
" The enlightened patriot, even if, a', a
Northern man, be may thiuk the iuiereaU
of hi own aection injured by these South
ern factories, caunot but observe th. ir pro-i-rea
wilh gratification. The milako-of the
South has been to confine itself too eutirely
to agriculture. Such a policy will, sooner
or later, exhaust any uatioo. It ha been
the principal cause of lbs comparative de
cline of the older alave State, and il will
produce similar result iu tbe new ouea, if
preservered iu, as soon a their eoils beeui
also worn out. Uue of lue cardinal maiiui -
of political economy i that th producer

produ of middle men are saved, and the
