THE STATE CLOTHING SUPPLIES.
The supplying of clothing to the Pennsylva

Presideht . of the United States, per troopil
to
defend:the federal capital from the thre atened

used as much to gratify their own malicious
feelings of envy and hatred, as it was to dam
age and destroy, if; possible, that great politi- ,
cal organization of the people which now sus
tains both the state and national administrations.
But the sequel begins to-prove that instead of
there being any fact to sustain these charges,
there was not even a shadow - of suspicion, except ,
that :Miami in the' minds of credulous people,

by the persistent falsehoods of those who were
interested in having a charge of fraud substan
liated..,
the Grand Jury of Philadelphia, to whom
this • business was referrtd, in an able charge
from Judge Ludlow, during the latter part-of-last week, made the following cleat-and con
clusive reference to the subject, in their report
to the court: •
Upon the duty thus committedi to us, the
Grand Jury entered with an .earnest uesire to

This is the general topic of discussion Jr*
now. Our friends acmes the water are thinking
as patiently about;lt as we . ,tye ourselves. It
appears that the mills of Mmichester can get
along very conveniently for another year, by
piecing out with short time for their operatives;
accurate computations have almost, if not
quite, settled it that there will be no pinch if
the foreign:spinners are forced by our blockade
to forego their usual supply for an entire Year:
By that time, the production of the raw mate
rial will have developed itself se — far that a
modification of the great southern monopoly
will be estatlished. They have 'heard of our
troubles in India - -long ago; and the stimulus
of high prices will certainly drive them to
wider culture; it has, we learn, had that effect
already. Rrit4sh cal4Vte, 14,111 11 aa
sociations ineyrapatliy of the government, are
not idle with their experimenhi in thtrsamedi!
rection. Egypt, India, China, fifrica,'Samitiaa,
Braid, and Central America will be laid
, under
contribution for securing cotton supplies, and a
spirit of enterprise in .this: culture will be
awakened of which there is no reiluent tide.
If our Southern hieren," bliiA with passion,
shoidd sse , fit, to continue, thiswar, long.ehough,
they will open their :eves aelast tallxid-that
they have killed the goose, that so
them their golden egg in pekes, Eind j the
ized world arrayed in active conilitititien i with
them. No harder brow could be truck dims
y
system of , plantation. slavery, Atherefore, than
they are thus striking themaelvaa , against it .
If they find their Oda arrangenultitti

thank for it ; hut themselves;- the•magi, which
any 'oue might have foreseen, is of their ,own
choosing. And with the
,cotici#Al l o . 4,o *I;

illying manufacturers with the raw staple, it is
going to requires more intelligent and econoni

own against outside., competitors. Thus. will
shivery prove a doomed inistitticul; its jealous

the lesson that is never to , pass unheeded, that
no scheming of man is able .to• set aside the
ailed operations of the` lain of nature, whether
