Columbia ac a Manufacturing Centre
Since the agitation of the question of
American protection, more or less atten
tion has been directed to Columbia as a
great manufacturing centre. The initial
step which the Republicans took last fall
in protesting against the free trade here
sies of the Lancaster Daily Express, the
proceedings of their public maeting iu
Odd Fellow's ILO, extensively published,
widely circulated and favorably commen
ted upon, and the bold stand which this
paper has alwa3s maintained in favor of
home manufactures, have awakened a
deep interest in the minds of capitalists.
And could our local advantages be
brought to the attention of persons seek
ing places for favorable investment, Co
lumbia would soon be the leading manu
facturing town in this section of the
State.
Our advantages over Lancaster, Har
risburg-, York and other cities, arc ap
parent upon the briefest examination.—
We have an unfailing supply of water for
steam, and at the same time, vast means
of transportation. We have railroad
transportation unsurpassed by any Penn
sylvania town. The Pennsylvania, - with
its matchless resources, gives us freight
rates as low as either Lancaster or Bar
risburg ; the Wrightsville Branch and
immediate connections tap the rich ore
lands of York and Adams Counties, and
bring the superior ore of these counties
alongside our furnaces ; the Reading &
Columbia Bailroad,connecting us with the
coal mines of Schuylkill county and the
network of roads throughout the coal re
gions, offers easy and cheap transporta
tion. The Pennsylvania Canal is another
important source of supply, which must
not be overlooked.
As with the material for consumption,
so we have easy and accessible markets
for the manufactured article. For proof
of this, we have only to refer to the pros
perous condition of all our manufactur
ing establishments. The demand for our
railroad iron is constant, our rolling mills
here and at Chiques are crowded with or
ders, and our thirteen furnaces are all in
fun blast. Philadelphia, - New York and
Baltimore are reached without reship
ment of freight, and the excellent quality
of our manufactured iron is fast gaining
such a reputation, that the demand is
greater than the supply.
The advantages which we claim, ap
ply not to the iron interests alone, but to
:the most diversified industries. * Labor,
rents and market supplies, (in this garden
county of Pennsylvania) are as cheap as
anywhere, and no inconsiderable item in
the estimate for location.
Under the blessings of a protective tar
iff,"Columbia is destined to lead in indus
trial importance, and it is the interest of
every working man, every merchant and
every citizen to further such hopes. See
to it that none but protectionists are
sent from this county to our State or
National Legislatures, Rebuke by voice
and vote every free-trader, and make the
question of American Industry a person
al one. The heresies of free trade
not long prevail, and it is for the la
boring men of America to exert their po
tent influence against the enemies of their
homes and firesides. Let us be radically
aggressive in these great questions.
Ball-.Yaking.
It requires now more than a million of
railroad iron per annum to supply the
wants of the United States, and the de
mand increases regularly every year, in
consequence of the enormous development
of our railway system, the rapid construe
tion of new lines, and the wear and tear
of old ones. Our consumption in 180
was 938,566 tons, and our production only
593,586. We increase our milling capac
ity as fast as the means can ha had, but
Pennsylvania is almost the only State
tnat enters heartily into this industry on
a large scale, three-fifths of the rails pro
duced in 1809 having been in this State.
It seems, therefore, to be apparent that
if American railroads are to obtain their
rails at home, they must look chiefly to
Pennsylvania for their supplies. Ilere
everybody has confidence in this industry
and is ready to invest money, time and
talent in it. We have a great market in
the State itself to depend upon, ours be
ing the leading railroad State in the re
public. It is not of much use for us to
waste time in encouraging this rail-mak
ing industry elsewhere, the attention of
the country having become fixed upon
Pennsylvania as the main source of sup
ply. We have the money, the iron mines,
the coal, the railroads, and the skilled
operatives, and we must increase our pro
duction assoon or fast as possible. There
is an ample market for all we can make,
and more besides.
Iron ship-building will doubtless in due
time consume a large share of our iron;
but that is still prospective, while the
consumption of rails is present, and ex
ceeds all the ability of our iron works to
supply the demand. Even if the construc
tion of new lines of roadway should stop,
of which there is no likelihood, the ne
cessity of constantly renewing the rails on
the old roads creates a perpetual and in
creasing market, so that there is a fair
chance of profit for all the rail mills that
can be built. If other iron regions in the
United States will not rise to the emer
gency, Pennsylvania can and must do it,
She has all the requisites for each a pur
pose, and just in proportion as she makes
use of them will her waste places he inhab
ited, the wealth of her mines drawn forth *
and the products of her farming soil in
crease. As the railway future of the re
public seems to be almost incalculable, so
must the field be for the American pro
ducers of railway iron, and especially of
those of Pennsylvania.

The '.lrEA:u.ry C*r..tcct,
The corruptioniets who have fattened on
the bargain and sale of legislative votes
for the alternate election of :Mackey and
Irwin, are somewhat disturbed by the in
trusion of an honest man as a candidate
for the office of State Treasurer, Mr.
Coleman, they know is possessed of every
virtue and qualification, but that of ste«?-
iny, and is therefore in no wise suitable)
for their purposes. They know that if he
is Qleeted, there wilt be no ten thousand
dollar checks afloat, no promissory notes
for five, ten or twenty thousand do lars
snugly hid in the vault of the Treasury.
no large deposits of State funds in the
hanas--of editors or coffers of private
Banks and 13m ikers to speculate upon, no
bogus transactions or corrupt manixver
ing at the expense of honest tax-payers ;
hence, as robbing, the public is their re
ligion. their precept and example, Mr.
Coleman is about one of the worst men
that the people could present, and hence,
too, while there is a scoundrel in the
State with hopes of election by fraud,
bribery and corruption, their efforts will
be united to cheat the people out of their
choice of any honest man for that import
ant and responsible post. Time was,
when none lint good men were dreamed
of for such a trust, and it was not only
loss of character, but political death for
any one to propose a dishonest man, but
now, with the most unblushing impu
dence and bare-faced corruption, editors,
politicians and scalawags openly go to
work with the crime of falsehood and
fraud on their lips and their acts, and se
lect, fearlessly, men notoriously corrupt
and dishonest, avowedly for the special
rascality of cheating the people and put
ting into their thieving pockets the money
they filch from the public, and when ex
posure of the truth is sought by legisla
tive investigation, they take refuge under
that salvo of the law, which excuses the
culprit from self erimination by refusing
to answer a Committee on oath, although
their refusal impliedly convicts them.—
qo strong, however, is the pressure from
the people, in favor of Mr. Coleman, and
so earnest their demand for his election,
we apprehend, that the rascality of the
last two Sessions will not be repeated.—
All eyes are upon the Legislature, and
we fearlessly announce that any member
who will dare to disregard the wishes of
his constituents, and especially so in
Lancaster Conn ty,by voting against him,
will be forever politically dead, and we
advise any one who will be mean enough
to sell himself to the Corrupt Ring, to be
sure and get as much money for his vote
as he may want for a life time, for he will
be sank so low in popular opinion, that if
he has any shame about him, or a decent
regard for his family, he will retire from
public life.
N one need believe that the odium and
disgrace will die out. It will be as the
mark of Cain upon him, and his punish
me, t more than he can bear. A time
has arrived when these disgraceful scenes
must cease, and cease forever. The fu
ture of the party and the State is in jeop
ardy. There has been enough corruption,
and the new order of-things to be intro
duced is, that none will be selected for of
fice, but those 'who have proved them
selves honest, competent andworthy,and
especially those who like Mr. Coleman,
will not seek the office, and spurn the
contemptible trickery and dishonest elec
tioneering that has disgraced our State
Treasurers. Let us now see who will be
the man so recreant to his trust as to vote
for either Mackey or Irwin, and we can
point to a man who has corruptly sold
,himself for money, place or ill-gained ad
vantage; and let him not hope for office
or respect hereafter. And we most
solemnly protest against any honest mern ;
her going into caucuses and binding him- ,
self to vote for the dishonest nominee of
Such caucus. A caucus may be the death
of all political integrity, and every mem
ber determined to represent his constitu
ents fairly and honestly, must bolt the
nomination, unless such nomination shall
he the choice of his constituents. And
we demand too, that if there is a caucus,
the balloting of that caucus shall be" pub
fished.- :No representative has a right to
withhold his vote from the knowledge of
his people. Let every man show himself,
without dodging or secrecy.
.Eth cr
WE present in another place a synopsis
of the President's message. It is an in
teresting document in many respects, and
will not fail to attract a large share of
public attention, in consequence of the
gravity of its contents. As regards reve
nue, the President says that there is no
reason, if we persist in our present course
why in a few short years the direct taxes
may not be abolished, except the revenue
stamps and the taxes on liquors and to
bacco. If revenue reform means this, the
President is in favor of it; but if it means
the maintenance of the direct taxes and
the reduction of the tariff on foreign
goods, he is opposed to it. Ile is still
more opposed to it, if it means a failure to
provide the requisite revenue to meet our
obligations. lie says emphatically: "Rev
enue reform has not been defined by any of
its advocates to my knowledge, but seems
to be accepted as something which is to
supply every man's wants without any cost
or effort on his part."
The civil service reform is indorsed and
recommenced by the President, as also is
the further prosecution of reform in the
Indian service, and a variety of other
matters.
Altogether, this message is pronounced
in its views, and satisfactory to all who
have at heart the welfare of truly Ameri
can interests. '

TILE " Revenue reformers;" or free
traders, as they may now properly be call
ed, gave a public dinner to a few of the
newly-elected members of Congress at
Delmonico's, in New York, one evening
last week. Few of the invited guests at
tended, although some of them ..eat let
ters, and the projectors were obliged to do
most of their own eating and talking.
The gathering was composed mainly of
Democratic politicians and New York
importers, with a sprinkling of Western
free-trade Repnblicans thrown in here and
there. The result, as might have been
expected, says the Bucks County Intclti
, meet, was pretty much of a failure. The
free-traders, pure and simple, wanted all
import duties abolished and the govern
ment supported by direct taxes. The
Democratic speakers, like Sunset Cox,
suggested that the best way to get tariff
duties abolished would be for the revenue
reforming Republicans to join the Demo
crats and thus make up a majority in Con
gresb. The idea of the free-trade Repub
licans, such as William C. Bryant and
David A. Wells. is that the Democrats
to come over and help them control the
Republican patty. The result of these
conflicting expressions was to invite the
ridicule of the friends of fair protective
duties, while nothing whatever was of
fected toward the object of the meeting.
The disastrous effects of pursuing the
course now advocated by the free-traders
are so apparent that it is surprising that
any intelligent men are found to follow
them, unless it may be for selfish reasons.
With the enormous sums that must be
paid by the Government for interest on
the public debt. not to speak of the grad
nal reduction of the principal, the des ,
truction of the national income that
would he caused by the abolition of suf
ficient tariff duties would be equivalent
to absolute repudiation. The American
people do not mean that, and they will be
in no haste to accept and enact the sel
fish views of the Nen- York importers of
foreign merchandise.

To the Sena° ata, Tiouzo of iloprozoatativo:.
A year of peace and general prosperity
to this nation has passed since last assemb
ling of Congress, and we have, through a
kind Providence, been blessed with abun
dant crops and have been spared from
complications and war with foreign na
tions.
In oar midst comparative harmony
has been restored. It is to be regreted,
however, that a free exercise of elective
franchise, has by violence and intimida
tion been denied to citizens in exception
al classes in several States lately in rebel

thereby been reversed; the States of rll .
ginia, Mississippi and Texas has been re
stored to representation in our National
Congress, Georgia is the only State now
with out represen tation.
As soon as I learned that a Republic
had been proclaimed at Paris, and the
people of France had acquisced in, the
change, the Minister of the United States
was directed by telegraph to recognize it,
and tender my congratulations, and those
of the people of the United States. Should
the present struggle result in attaching the
hearts of the French to our simplerf,prms
of representative Government, it will be
a subject of still further satisfaction.
Should the time. come when the action
of the United States can hasten the re
turn of peace by.a single hour, that ac
tion will be heartily taken. It is not un
derstood that the condition of the insur
rection in Cuba has materially changed
since the close of the last session of Con
gress. In an early stage of the contest
the authorities of Spain inaugurated a
system of arbitrary arrests.
Such proceeding so far as they effected
persons or property of citizens of the
United States, were in violation of the
provisions of the treaty of 1705 between
the United States and Spain, and presen
tation of injuries resulting to several per
sons claiming to be citizens of the United
States, by reason of such violations,were
made to the Spanish government.
From April. 1869, to June last, the
Spanish Minister at Washington bad been
clothed with a limited power; and in re
dressing such wrongs that power was
found to be withdrawn, in view, as it was
said,of the'favorablesituation in which the
island of Cuba then was, which,howevcr,
did not lead to the revocation or suspen
sion of the
. extraordinary and arbitrary
functions exercised by the executive
power in Cuba, and we were obliged to
make our complaints at Madrid.
In the negotiation thus opened and still
pending there the United States fully
claimed that for the future the rights se
cured to their citizens by treaty should be
respected in Cuba, and as to the past a
joint tribunal should be established in the
I.7wited!Stated, with full jurisdiction over
all such claims.
The acquisition of San Domingo is an
adherence to the Monroe doctrine. It is
a measure of national protection. It is
asserting our just claims to a controling
influence over great commercial traffic
soon to slow from west to east by way of
the Isthmus of Darien. It is to build up
our merchant marine; it is to furnish new
markets for the products of our farms,
shops and manufactories ; it is to make
slavery unsupportable in Cuba and i'orto
Rico at once, and ultimately so in Bra
zil.
It is to settle the unhappy condition of
Cuba and en exterminating conflict. It
is to provide honest means of paying our
honest debts without overtaking vv./poi
ple. It is toftirnish our citizens with the
necessaries of every clay life at cheaper
rates than ever before, and it is, in fine, a
rapid stride towards that greatness which
the intelligenc , , industry and enterprise
of the citizens of the United States entitle
this country to assume among nations.—
In view of the importance of tbis ques
tion, I earnestly urge upon Congress
early action expressive of its view as to
the best means of acq - iiring San Domingo.
My suggestion is that by joint resolution
of the two houses of Congress the Exec
tive be authorized to appoint a commis
sion to negotiate a treaty with the author
ities of San Domingo for the acquisition
of that island, nod on appropriation be
made to defray this expenses of such
commission. The question may then be
determined either by the action of the
Senate upon the treaty or joint action of
the two Rouses of Congress upon resolu
tion of annexation, as in the case of the
acquisition of Texas. So convinced ant I
of the advantages to flow from the acqui
sition of San Domingo and of the grea t
disadvantages, I might say calamities. to
flow from non-acquisition, that I believe
the subject has only to be investigated to
be approved. It is to he regretted that
our representations in regard to injurious
effects, especially upon the revenue of the
United States, of the policy of the Mexi
can Goverement in exempting from im
post
duties a large tract of its territory on '
our borders, have not only :veil fruitless,
but that it is even proposed in that coun
try to extend the limits within which the
privilege adverted to has hitherto been
enjoyed. The expediency of taking into
your serious consideration proper meas
ures for countervailing the polidy referred
to will, it is presumed, - engage your ear:-
nest attention.
It is the obvious interest : especially of
neighboring nations, to provide against

Concerning the Turkish massacre the
President says : I invited France and

Europeans.
In April last, while engaged in locating
a military reservation near Pembina, a
corps of engineers discovered that the
commonly received boundary between
the United States and the British posses
si ins at that place is about 4700 feet south
of the true position of the 49th parallel,
and that the line, when run on what is
now supposed to be the true position of
that parallel, would leave the Hudson
Day Company, at Pembina, within the
territory of the United States.
This information being communicated
to the British government, I was re
quest( d to consent mid did consent that
tee British occupation of the fort of the
Hudson's Bay Company should continue
for the present. I deem it important,
however, that this part of the boundary
line should be definitely fixed by a joint
commission of the two governments.
1 regret to say that no conclusion has
been reached fur the adjustment of the .
claims against Great Britain, growing
out of the course adopted by
. that gov
ernment during the rebellion. The Cab
inet at London, so far as its views has
been expressed, does not appear to be
willing to concede that her Majesty's
Government was guilty of any negligence,
or did, or permitted any act during the
war, by which the United States has just
cause of complaint. Our firm and md
t.erable conviction, are directly the re
verse,
I ttierefore recommend to Congress to
authorize the appointment, of'
siun to take proof Of the amounts and
the ownership of these several 'claims, on
notice to the Reprrsehtidive of her Maje -
ty at Washington, and that authority be
given for the senttlement of these claims
by the United Slates, so that the GuY
eminent shall have ownership of the
private claims, as well as responsible com•
trol of the demand against Great Britain.
Anticipating that au atta mpt fluty pos
sibly be made uy the Canadian autio
in the comma . season to repeat their un
neighborly acts towards our fishermen, I
recommend you to confer upon the Exe-
cutive the power to Stthflell el, by ',mein ma
tion, the ulceration of the laws authoriz
ing the transit of goods, wares and tiler
chandize in bond, across the territory of
the United States to Canada.
And further, should such an extreme
measure become necessory to suspend the
operation of any laws whereby the vessels
of the dominion of Canada are permitted
to enter the waters of the United States.
A like unfriendly disposition has been
manifested on the part of Canada. In the
maintenance of a claim of right to ex
clude the citizens of the United States
from the navigation of the St. Lawrence.
This river constitntes a natural outlet to
the ocean for eight States, with an aggre
gate population of about 17,600,000 inhab
itants, and with an aggregate tonnage of
601,307 tons upon the waters which dis
charge into it.
The foreign commerce of our ports on
those watcas is open to British competi
tion, and Major part of it is done in Brit
ish bottoms —if the American seamen be
minded from this natural avenue to the
ocean the monopoly of the direct COM
merce of the lake ports with the Atlantic
would be in foreign hands, if their vessels
on trans-atlantic voyages, having an ac
cess to our lake ports, which would be de
nied to American vessels on similar. To
state such a proposition is to refute its
justico. During the administration of
Mr. John Quincy Adams .1)Ir. Clay unans-
werably demonstrated the natural right
of the citizens of the United States to the
navigation of th eriver, claiming that the
net of tne Congress of Vienna in opening
the Rhine and other rivers to all nations
showed the judgment of European jurists
and statesmen, that the inhabitants of a
country through which a navigable river
passes have a natural right to enjoy the
navigation of that river to and into the
sea, even though passing through terri
tories of another power.
This right does not exclude the coequal
rights of the soverign possessing the terri
tory through which the river debouches
into the sea to make such regulations re
lative to the police of the ndvigations as
may be reasonably necessary; but those re
gulations should he formed'in a spirit of
enmity and should not impose needless
burdens upon commerce which has the
right of transit. It has been found in
practice more advantageous to arrange
these regulations by mutual agreement.
Pita United States are ready to make any
reasonable arrangement ;Is to the police
of t he St. Lawrence which may be sug
gested by Great Britain. If the claim
made by Mr. Clay was just when the pop
ulation of the States bordering cm the
shores of the lakes was only 3,40(1,000, it
now deserves greater force and equity
from the increased population, wealth,
production, and tonnage of the States on
the Canadian frontier. Since Mr. Clay
advanced his argument in behalf of our
right, the principle for which he contend
ed has been frequently, and by various
nations, recognized by law or by treaty,
and has been extended to several other
great rivers.
By the treaty concluded at Mayence in
IS3I, the Rhine was declared free from
the point where it is first navigable into
theseit. By the convention bet Ween Spain
and Portugal, concluded in 1535,
the nav
igation of the. Douro throughoutits whole
extent was made free for the subjects of
both crowns,. In 18.53 the Argentine Con
federation by treaty threw open the free
'navagation of the Parana and Urugua to
to the merchant vessels of all nations, In
15730 the Crimean War was closed by
treaty which provided for the freo nay
g,ation of the Danube.
In ISSS, Bolivia by treaty, declared that
it regarded the river A wizon and La-
Plata in accordance with the fixed princi
ples of 'National law as highways or chan
nels opened by nature for the commerce
of all nations. In IS5‘3, the Paraguay was
made free by treaty. and in December,
1866, the Emperor of 13razile, by imperial
decree, declared the Amazon to be open
to the frontier of Brazil], to the merchant
ships of all nations.
As soon as the revenue can e dispensed
with all duty should be removed from cof
fee, tea, and other articles of universal
use. not produced by ourselves.
The President declared himself in favor
of an honest revenue reform, but not if it
implies the collection of all the revenue
the government needs by direct taxation.
The army has been gradually reduced,
so that on the first (1:97 ofiJatructry,,
the numbellof comrmssionled officers and
mei will not exceed the number contem
plated by law.
The War Department building is an
oh(1 structure, not fire-proof, and entirely
inadequate in dimensions to our present
wants. Many thousands of dollars are
now paid annually or rent of private
buidings to accomodate the various bu
reaus of the department.
I recommend an appropriation for a
new War Department building, suited to
the present and growing wants of the
nation.
The report of the Secretary of War
shows a very satisfactory reduction in
the expenses of the army for the last fis
cal year, for d tails you are referred to
his accompanying, report, the expenses of
the Navy for the whole of the last year.
train December Ist, ISO 7, the last report
are less titan $10,000,000, or about 510,000,-
000 less than they were the previous year,
The expenses since the commencement of
this fiscal year since, I. e., since July first
show for the five months a decrease of
over 5,-100,000 from those of those cor
responding months of last year.
The message closes as follows
During the last fiscal year, the sum
paid to pensioners, including the cost of
disbursements, was $2.7,780,‘511 11, and
1,753 noutity lain) warrants were issued.
At the close, 108,650 names were on tue
pension rolls.
The labors of the Pension Office have
been directed to the severe scrutiny of
the evidence submitted in - favor of new
claims, and to the discovery of fictitious
claims which have heretofore allowed the
appropriation for the employment of
spe ial agents for the investigation of
frauds ha been judiciously used, and the
results obtaine have been of unquestion
able benefit to the servict?,
The subjects of education and agricul
ture are of great interest to the success f
our republican institutions, happiness
and grandeur as a nation. In the in-
terest of one a bureau has been establish
ed in the Interior Department, the Bu
reau of Education ; and in the interest
of the other a seperate Department of
Agriculture. I believe great general
good is to flow from the operations of
both these bureaus if properly fostered.
In conclusion," would sum up the policy
of the Administration to be a thorough
enforcement of eve y law ; a faithful
collection of every tax provided for ;
economy in the disbursement of the same;
a prompt payment of every debt of the
nation ; a reduction of taxes as rapidly
as the requirements of the country will
admit.
Reduction of taxation and tariff to be
so arranged as to afford the greatest re
lief to the greatest number. Honest and
fair dealing with all other people to the
end, that war with all its blighting con
sequences, may be avoided, but without
surrendering any light or obligation
clue to us, a reform in the treatment of
thdians, and in the whole civil voice of
the country. '
And'finally, in securing pure, untram
meled ballot, where every man entitled'to
vote may do so just once at each election,
without fear of molestation or proscrip
tion, on account of his political faith, na
tivity or color. Signed,
