Thus Christmas c tirm and went au i the

merchartrt sVeaied to apprejiati; th.-? situ
ation enough to oflf ;r to' m r a part of
the expense of opening the lines. A la
liored w.-ilk ibbtft the city revealed the
fact that it was chiefly the per tier classes
and tlrCJfcs whose sojourn in Webfoot had
been brief, who made any effort to clear
the snow from otf their walks. Our
model capitalists, many of them, can
boast of still having on the?f front porch
es' the st hat fell the first day of the
siornf ; aiYdthatf tn'e elements permitted,
these same would be in possession of the
sow that M rtt 1862. It 't possible
thVy took tipoti snow ttS tfrt Eastern im
port which they should not encourage by
too much rf' tentron ; for these men are
patrirotic in the highest lefee, and are
oprred to the importation of tuanufac
tufed articles. They do not express
thei? sentiment by establishing here
glove, hat and otfief factories ; it would
le too much to ask of thni when they
can' loan their aioiiej ori an assured per
centage ; but tliey .dft?toirage importa
tion of such tilings by refusing io pur-'.-Iia.s;
gloves and trusting Co their pants'
nofckrts to keep their hands warm, an I
wearing their old hats till they ecome,
like ancient Dabylon, a "crumbling ruin."
To-1 gifftv this ha- also a tendency to
reduce the volume of trte, m ik.i ti.nes

rhose patriotic men cannot be expected

of a steamer getting through by that
