DALLAS, SATURDAY, JAN. 21.
Advantages pt' niilac-
lUVC8.-Z Continued.
. In a former issue we published an
article under the above heading, show
ing forth jsome of the advantages of
manufactures to our State. Much more
might have been said upon the profits
dt wool " growing and manufacturing,
but we now wish to call attention to
another, branch of manufacturing that
iniglt be successfully carried on to the
gr at.- advantage of all our . citizens.
in uat wo ich'i tu is me uiauumviuiu wi
leather, and all kinds , of leather work.
The hides of the vast numbers of cat
tle and sheep, reared and ilaughtered in
thi9 State, if converted into good mer
chantable leather, and that again man
ufactured in to boots, shoes, &c, which
could be done, as well as not, would
.pave us. thousands of dollars annually,
that now goes to fill the coffers of man
jufacturers in San Francisco and the
East. Were we to count the cost of
shipment to and from those manufac
tories, as well as the profits of the dif
ferent dealers through whose hands
those articles pass, we wonld bring in
an account to pass to the debit side of
profit and loss that would surprise even
the most observant. And when we add
to this the advantage of furnishing
employment to hundreds of men, young
and old, who are now, to use their own
.expression, bumming" half their
time, we find strong inducements to
prompts to energy in this direction.
But an objection is raised by some in
regard to this point, .that the wages de
manded by these same men are so high,
that they cannot be profitably employed
in this manner. To this we state hat
the manner in which business has been
conducted heretofore, aud to a great
extent is stilk conducted here, on?y
gives them employment comparatively
very small portion of their time, and
the remainder they are "lying on their
pars," doing nothing. But open to them
the prospect of steady employment, and
they can be obtained at prices tint they
could not under the present status of
anai re, anord to take : tor their ex
penses during their idle time aie so
great, that , their, wages during their
laboring hours must be proportionately
-high to: give them a living. Another
.objection raised against the manufac
tured these articles here is, that the
leather made here is not so durable as
.thatfliade in other places. This fault
we would attribute to the present lim
ited means, and want of care of the
manufacturer; . for certainly wp have
all the facilities for making as good
leather here as can be found anywhere;
and if it is not as good, it most cer
tainly is the fault ot the manufacturer,
and not the lack of necessary materials.
, All are aware of the fact that the Santa
. .Cruz leather of California stands second
to none in this market, not even bcins
excelled by that of any of the Eastern
.manufactories. And if they can make
leather, there of first rate quality, we
m m
jee no reason wny we cannot do as
' well. One thing lost sight of in this
'jnatter is the fact that our climate is
peculiarly, destructive on everything
! that is exposed to the weather. This
' should prompt all those using leather
t ware to use more oils, varnishes, &c,
, for the. protection of shoes, boots, har
ness, and all leathern articles exposed
' ' to, and tht are liable to suffer from,
the effects of the sun's heat and winter
atorms.
But the great fault at the bottom of
.all 'the difficulty is, not the want of ma
terials, not that we cannot profit by
these manufactures, not that we cannot
make these articles ' as durable and as
goou as tney can dc made anywhere
jelse, butthat we, as a people, are ever
, reaching after something foreign, some
thing distant, and something new and
novel.'" -
The Englishman, as he dons his suit
of best clothes, and you meet him upon
the street, and remark concerning his
outfit, tells you with a flush of national
pride, "These, Sir,' are all English
manufacture.'.' 5And as he points to the
quality of the goods, be tells you they
. are the best that can be found; and to
say aught agains: them, wonld be to
'. insult his national pride. But the
American does not consider hicuself
.dressed,'! unless he is equipped with
his EnglierT broadcloth coat, his French
ical boote and kids, and his English.
patent lover watch. The young lady
does hot think she is 41 rigged," unless
she has her West India laces, her fine
Turkish shawl, and her dress is cut and
trimmed in the latest Parisian stylo.
And so it is with everything. We
drink our French brandies and Scotch
ale, and our houses are filled with im
ported articles ot all descriptions. This
should not be so ; we should pride our
selves upon our own productions, and
should endeavor to make them as fine
as possible; and that we can have them
just as durable,' just as good,1 and just as
fine as can be manufactured anywhere,
no sane minded person will pretend to
deny. " Business is business." is the
common motto, and let us look to this
matter with an eye to business.
jOur Portland neighbors have taken
the initiatory step, and opened a large
establishment for the manufacture of
boots and shoes. This we expect to see
followed by numerous others and all
of them furnished with the first quality
of leather from our own manufactories,
until Oregon, instead of being com
pelled to import her leather ware for
home consumption, will be exportiug
for her neighbors to consume.
PAT.RONS Ol' HUSBANDRY.
This is the name of an organization
which is becoming quite numerous in
our land ; we hear of lodges being
organized in all parts of the East.
As it is comparatively unknown here,
it would perhaps be interesting to our
readers to know the object to be at
tained.
This is a society designed to protect
by mutuality of understanding, the
business of agriculturists, and to pre
mote among them a greater aud freer
sociality of, intercourse and acquaint
ance. The meeting of the lodges, or
granges as they are called, are made
the occasion, not only for business con.
sultation and conference, but also for
social interchange, the wives and daugh
ters being admitted to nuMiihcr."hip,and
elevated to office the same as the fathers
aud sons. An organization of this na
lure cannot but result in good to the
farming community. The co-operative
system is being engrafted into all
branches of business. The capitalists
form their boards of commerce, and
other protective associations to protect
their interests. The working men are
uniting to secure ends which will en
sure them success ; and we think it
right and proper that (the agriculturist
as well, should benefit themselves by the
co-operative system, j
There U no place in the United
States where it is needed more than in
Oregon, and we hope: soon to bco lodges
springing up in all parts of the State,
and the farmers, as well as all other
classes, taking active steps to secure
their best interests. (

The Mercury, in its last issue, after
noticing the article in the Republi
can onMcCreery's remarks in Congress
concerning the Arlington estate, asks
us our opinion of the manner in which
Longstreet was treated by Grant 'and
his administration.
"We are inclined to the belief that if
the editor of the Mercury had taken a
second thought, lie would not have
asked the questionJ The position taken
by the Republican on the great ques
tions of national policy has been such
that a wayfaring man need not err, as he
could run and read, so plainly were its
principles set forth ; and prominent
among these was a punishment for trea
son agaiust the United States Govern
ment, so as to forever prohibit an effort
on the part of any man or set of men,
from engaging in any effort to break up
the Government hereafter.
The Act of the Administration in
placing Longstreet in a lucrative posi
tion, while many of the brave men who
fought for the snstainancc of tho flag
which he endeavored to pull down, re
mained out of employment, or in posi
tious of minor importance, never has,
and never will be sanctioned by us.

PARTY MOVEMENTS.
We promised to give some of the
evils of which we thought the people
were complaining. "We -mentioned
last week, there was dissatisfaction
in the ranks of the Republican party ;
and we are satisfied that disaffection
has grown out of palpable neglect of
great questions which are, and have
been of vital importance to the country,
while the party has been running after
something that would have been better
let alone. There is not a school-boy in
the land but'; knows the causes which
led to tho late u unpleasantness" be
tweeu the North and South Constitu
tional questions which have been agi
tated since the first formation of the
Government were discussed and can
vassed, partizan feeling fostered, and
sectional hatred engendered, until it
euded in the thunder and smoke of can
non and the bayonet charge.
The people of the Southern States,
believing in the principles inculcated .
by John C. Calhoun and his coherent
" that a State had a perfect right to
judge of infractions of the Constitution,
as well as the manner and mode of re
drew" in 0ther words, they were firm
in the belief that when, in the opinion
of a State, their interests were inter
fered with, or their wishes frustrated,
although it might be for the substantial
benefit of the country at large, they
had, if they chose to use it, a perfect
right to uullify all proceedings, bv qui
etly seceding from the Uuion. Believ
in this to be their Constitutional riht,
whenever they became dissatisfied with
any of the proceedings of the Govern
ment, they resorted to their, as they
deemed, legitimate right, and, as far as
they could, severed their allegiance to
the general Government, aud declared
theniHelves independent.
But after battling for four years for
the sustainanee of their independence,
they found it was impossible for them
to act the part they desired, they gave
up the contest, and yielded to the force
of eireumstanecs.
They believed none the less firmly
that they were right they never ad
mitted anything which denounced the
principles for which they had been
contending (at least but few of them
did) ; they were subdued by a superior
force, but not a line or a word has es
caped many of them that could be con
st! ued intd a concession that the princi
ples for which they had been fighting
were anything else but right and
proper. The people expected, as a nat
ural sequence, when the war closed, to
see an amendment engrafted into the
Magna Charta of American liberties for
ever placing this vexed question at rest.
In this they were disippointed.
They also expected to see action,
vigorous and strong, to make treason
odious in the eyes f the whole people,
so that the United States would never
more be troubled with such scene as
had already been enacted on thi Conti
nent. But instead of that, we saw those
who had acted prominent parts in the
effort to break up the Government, not
onlyui ned loose and allowed to do and
say what they pleased, but in a few in
stances, even given lucrative situations
under the fostering care of tho very
Government which they had been fight
ing to destroy.
After the war closed and peace was
established, another of the great ques
tions which followed in its wake was
the settlement of tho public debt. On
this question, many true hearted patri
ots differed. Some were in favor of
paying the debt at all hazards, while
the ground was taken and well sustain
ed by others, that the blessings to be
derived from the sustcntation of a Re
publican Government in this country
would be shared, not only by those now
living, but by coming generations. Had
there been none to share the blessings
to accrue from the upholding of tho
Government bnt those now living, it
were worse than useless to spend so
much treasure, and spill so much blood
as was spilt and spent during the late
rebellion.
It was for the benefit not only of our
selves, but for those to come that the
sacrifice was made ; and as a boon to
be shared with them, it is no more than
right that they should share the bur
den. The public debt should be paid
honestly and fully, but we are inclined
to think, and the feelings of the people,
as far as expressed, seem to indicate that
the greater portion of the voters, even
of the Republican party, arc more in
favor of putting the national debt into
longer running bonds, at a lower rate of
interest, and thus lighten the burdens
of the present tax payer, than to lesson
the debt so rapidly by the present sys
tem of taxation and revenue. JUuch as
it is to be desired that the country be
free from indebtedness, yet we do not
feel disposed to shift the burden which
we think should be borne by the many,
upon the shoulders of the few.
A REHUIT HXTHAOHDINARY.
A Washington dispatch to the San
Francisco press contains the following :
" A faux pas was made on Friday by
the over-anxious friends of Senator
Williams, of Oregon, to get him a place
in the Cabiuet. A delegation of fifteen
gentlemen, led by Ex-Governor Woods,
of Oregou, and District Attorney II il
lyer, of Nevada, visited the White
House and made a speech to the PresU
dent, saying that as Cabinet changes
' irnrn tnllrofi nf till "Paplfirt filnnfl TP.
- d a ni0re imlUcdiate recoiruition
Tho President interrupted Governor
Woods at the outlet, and told him that
his Cabinet was a family concern, and
that he should resent any attempt made
by politicians to interfere with his
choice, tie eaiu he would receive tne
delegation on any other subject, but
never on that one. The Committee
ventured to express the hope that they
had cot prejudiced the President
against Senator Williams, and assured
him that the Senator had uot been
aware of the precipitate good will of his
friends. The President said he could
well believe that Senator Williams had
not been consulted on a topic so deli
cate, and that it was because he knew
that the Oregon Senator was not privy
to the purpose of the delegation, that
ho should dismiss the whole subject
from his mind. The affair makes much
merriment around the hotels to day."
The Daily Orejonian of Jan. 10th,
contains the above quotation without
any comments. What does the above-
mentioned organ think of the affair?
I it a rebuff which Ex-Governor Woods
and his party deserved? or was it a
lack of courtesy on the paU of Presi
dent Grant ?

procession in this city has there been
such a stir in the broom trade as was
occasioned yesterday by the appearance
of a Cal. manufacturer who bronght
with him about 500 dozen from the
State Penitentiary, at San Quentin, to
be disposed of in Oregon markets at re
duced rates. He failed to take out a
license for peddling in this city, and
was consequently fined on examination
before Judge Lewis, when ho turned
his attention to East Portland, and cm
ployed express wogons to transfer Jus
stock to the other side. Tho article in
which he deals is made by convicts, the
contractor raising his own broom corn
on his own soil, hence his expenses are
very light, and his threat to glut this
market " to get even" may make
brooms very cheap. -Bulletin.
