Men of very little capacity for thinking, learned this by experiment at the time of the great expansion of '36, when the wheat was taken from the starving people of England, wad sold in our eastern cities for two dollars a bushel, and other things in proportion. The bankers knew this by theory as well as by practice. The manufacturers knew it.

One member of th Senate has received one hundred thousan 1 dollars from the manufacturers and baviken no doubt, for that very purpose. For the tariff of 1842, the bankers ver principally to blame. That the manufacturer were prosperous under the compromise fully proved by the census compendium 1840. And I believe that they were content ed.

The tables of exports of home manufac tured goods show, that in 1822, the amo'int ex ported was that for ten years un der the high tariff the exports declined gradu ally, until in 1832 they were $5,050,603. Ir 1833 they amounted to then tiiej I advanced gradually until 1840, when they amounted to $12,848,840. The census tables of 1840 show that the number of persons employed in agricultural products was and that the value of agricultura products was $794,453,071, making for each individual employed $213 71. The of manufactures produced was Total--1326--Corporation--634. GROSS BANK injunction was laid on the Memphis Bank of Tennessee, on the 26th ultimo, at the instance of Mr.

Evan Rogeis of Philadelphia, who ownes a large number of its shares. Under this process, it is presumed that the bank will go into liquidation and finally be wound up. The Memphis Eagle of the 30th ult. says That several hours after the writ of injunction had been served, on the president and Messrs. Mooney, Conn ell and Maltbie, directors, they with Mr.

Gaines, another director, held a meeting in the bank, and discounted each others notes to amounts which cleared the vaults of their money, and enough of the notes of the suspended bank, to make the amount $50,000: That they also discounted the notes of the President, Dr. Fowlke, to ap amount sufficient, to make up the bills drawn by the several directors--for Fowlke's benefit we suppose-on Cross, Connell thus substituting his individual paper at twelve months, partly for their own responsibilities as drawers, to a very large amount, leaving Fowlkes standing debtor on the books of the bank it is said for about four hundred thousand dollars I This being done they afterwards surrendered the keys of the stripped vault and bank to the sheriff, and walked off.

The other Generel, prefers charges against Gen Scott, and Scot arrests him for contempt. Gen.

I have worked in a factory and have a pretty correct idea of the condition of people so employed, and for the last thirty years I have been extensively acquainted with people employed in agriculture in Illinois, Missouri and Wisconsin, and I believe tjyy' are as well off as those employed in factories. If this be so, and I believe it will not be disputed, then the great profits on capital and labor employed in manufactures, must have found their way into the iron chests of such men as the Appletons and Lawrences. When we take into consideration how much these profits must have been augmented by the ra- riff of '42, we will not be surprised to know that capital has accumulated to large amounts in the eastern States, and that capitalists there have their agents at every western legislature and constitutional convention, to coax, cheat and even to bribe, if they can, for the purpose of getting charters, and making other beds for profitable investments, or that they should have their cat's-paw Whitney, imporiunirg Aw clip the follow ng from an exchange paper, it is excellent Notwithstanding the various momentoes nortality with which we daily meet; notwith standing death has established his empire ove ill the works of nature yet, through som trange and wonderful infatuation, we forge hat we too are born to bnria ervice.
