The Weekly rost, tan be had to-day at our

local matter—a complete market report and

A NATIONAL FOUNDRY.
It is aatonishing as well as amusing to
learn for the first time, as we do from the pubs
lie press of all parts of the country, whet an
immense number of manufacturing towns and
villages the United States can beast of, and
it is absolutely amazing to observe how per
fectly they are—each and every one of them
—adapted as sites for a National Foundry.—
The proposition, which has been broached in
Congress, for an institution of this descrip
eon, even if it results in nothing, has accoms
p'ished one good thin:—it has given the
people of numberless thriving places in the
land, an admirable opportunity of glorifying
themselves, and puffing their locations into
notice. The advocates of every locality de
monstrate with peculiar satisfaction, that
"their town" possesses advantages over and
above all (Ahem as a site for a National Foun
dry. Some of these places, urging their
&aims with great zeal and cogency, have ac
tual advantages far manufacturing aurposEs,
which it would be wrong to disparage, while
others, and these, pethaps, are the loudest in
their appeals, have but very slight pre ten
alone. In Virginia, the cities of Alexandria,
Richmond, Petersburg, and that large, enera
getio, thriving, populous and self-sufficient vil
lage known as Wheeling, have all set forth
their claims to have the prop-. Eed National
Foundry located within their limits. Alex ,
andria makes her proximity to the seat of
government the great ground of claim ; Rich
mond and Petersburg, their security from ink
vasion ; Wheeling sets torth her advantages
as usual, on the ground that sometime or oth,
er, if the world lasts long enoogh, she will be
the greatest city in the Union. We have look
ed upon the pretensions of these places as
simply ridiculous, but Washington has enter"
ed the arena with her claims, and casts all
these minor towns in the shade. The seat of
the Federal Government claims the National
Foundry—because it is a great city, and has
railroads diverging from it, and the Execu
tive Departments are in it, and the business of
the Foundry could be conducted under the
direct supervision of the chief officers of the
service.
We have always been impressed with the
idea that the central Government reached
with its Executive arms to every section of
the Country, and it seems to us that Washing
ton has absolutely less claim upon the loca
tion of a National institution of this kind than
any place in the country—Wheeling not ex.
cepted.
We have heretofore presented in brief terms
the c'aims of our own city, as possessing in a
greater degree . than any other point in the
country, the requisites for carrying out the de.
sign and intention of a National Foundry.—
From a letter in the New York Herald, we
learn that the "louse Committee on Military
Afis.irs have been engaged in investigating
the subject of the establishment of national
foundries and the encouragement of the man
ufacture of American iron. The general pole
icy is to construct at least five steamers a
year for the nee of the navy, the machinery to
be made at the government foundries, and
also to manure:nue a new style of ordnance.
The bill which the committee are prepared to
report provides for the establishment of one
or more national foundries, appropriates suf
ficient money to purchase ground and com
mence buildings, sites to be selected by the
Secretary of War under direction of the
President, who will appoint a board of Mili
tary officers to report on the various locali,
ties: The bill will probably become a law
this Congress. From this it would appear
that the project of establishing a National
Foundry is more than problematical, and all
who aro acquainted with the peculiar and un
rivalled advantages of Pittsburgh as a manu
facturing point, will agree that her,eall the re
quirementsof a public manufacturing institu
tion are centered in the greatest perfection.—
Every resource which other localities claim,
we have in greater perfection and greater pro
fusion than any of them. By river and by
rail we have chearyd and speedier and more
extendeatianenneetion with all points wh-re the
• iirodacts of a National Foundry may be re
geared for use, than any other point which pos
sesses such manufacturing advantages as we
possess. The General Government, aware of
this, has already established an arsenal here,
and from this point military stores, arms and
ammunition are cheaply, safely and speedily
sent by river to the remotest points of the
West and South. During the Mexican war,
it was from this point that the largest shipe
ments of Government stores were made. On
the score of accessibility and freedom of dan
ger of invasion, the national judgment has
already been pronounced in favor of Pitts%
burgh. As a point possessing unrivalled ad•
vantages for manufacturing purposes, the pop
ular judgment' is equally in our favor. The
fact that private capital and individual entere
prise have selected our city as a place of in
vestment for manufacturing purposes to an
extent far greater than any other point in the
Union, speaks for itself. The great menufac- ,
Oaring interest is always located where the
greatest advantages are to be found. In an
eminent degree Pittsburgh presents all the
elements which are required for manufactu
ring. Land for location of buildings is cheap,
labor is cheap, skilled labor is abundant, cost
of living is cheap,_the climate is well adapted
to business— our winters are not co cold as to
paralyze the workingman'a energies nor our
summers so warm as to enervate him ; health
is remarkable here above any other city of the
same population in the Union ; this statistics
prove. But granting that other places may
be equal to us in all these respees, which is
by no means the case, our facllities for obtains
ing coal and iron are so far superior to those
of any other point-in the nation, that there is
no room for comparison. Pennsylvania is the
greatest iron producing State in the Union,
mad Pittsburgh is the chief mart for iron, not
only for Pennsylvania iron, but that of Ohio,
Tennessee, and other States in the country.—
Every variety of metal manufactured in the
country can be purchased here cheaper than
g'r'iiiiere, and coal, the beet of real for fella-
dry and other manufacturing purposes, is here
cheaper than a .ywhcre else in the world. Thin •
is no boasting as= ertion—it. is an admitted
and inc ntrovertible fact. The General Gov , .
raiment is fully aware of these advantages 1 1 ,
and has already largely availed herself of them.
There are, we believe, in the - United States
but three points where heavy ordnance is mane
ufactured for the Government, and the guns
manufactured ct Pittsburg have, after the
moat thorough and scientific tests, frequently
repeated, been pronounced by the most thor
oughly scientific and best skilled military en
gineers of the - United States, far superior to
those manufactured at other points.
APRIL 30, 1858.
For years past the Government, aware of the
excellence of the material to be procured here
cheaper than elsewhere, have had contracts
with Messrs. Knap, Wade & Co., of this city,
(or casting heavy guns, and a largo quantity
of most superior ordnance has been furnished.
Under the direction and supervision of Lieut.
Rodman, one of the most skillful and 'miens
tific military men in the country, a plan of
casting them has been devised, whiob, by cool
ing the core with water, renders the :tan capa
ble of withstanding the pressure of a much
greater expansive force than any other means
yet invented. These guns have been subjected
to the most severe teats, and in no single in
stance has their quality failed to be as repre•
sented. Major Wade is himself a gentleman
of most thorough scientific knowledge, and
has made probably more careful and exact ex••
periments in testing the strength, toughness,
fusibility, and other mechanical qualities of
metal than any other man in America. His
reputation for skill and scient fic knowledge
in this respect is not confined to his own coun
try, for through agents sent abroad, the Rus
sian and other European Governments have al
ready availed themselves of his great scientific
knowledge and power of applying it to me
chanical purposes. In making the guns of
which we speak, a careful selection of the best
qualities of metal has been made. The desired
qualities being possessed by no one kind of
iron, the most careful and scientific judgment
has been used in the mixture and combination
of the various descriptions, so as to produce
the most perfect article for the required pur
pose, and the product has been such as to
challenge the world in excellence. In speak
ing of this matter, we should be doing injus
tice to one of our best mechanics, Mr. Kayo,
the foreman of the Foundry, were we to neg
lect to mention the care, and skill, and exact , .
ness with which be performs and carries out
the practical development of Mr. Rodman's
designs.
Nor is it in this branch of manufactures
alone, that the General Government has prac
tically admitted t''e superiority of Pittsburgh
in iron products. Three large iron steamers
hive been built here, and although the designs
of the naval constructors of these ships may
have proved defectiv -, the quality of the ma
terial-of which they were built, and the ex
cellence of the workmanship put upon them
by our Pittsburgh mechanics, has met with
universal commendation at the hands of all
competent judges.
We have heretofore sprk en of the necosft
sity which exists, that the government should
do something to forward the interests of the
iron manufactures of our State, and have urg ,
ed, that in remodeling the present defective
tariff, particular attention should be given to
this subject. The same arguments will appy
with great force in inducing the government
to select the site of the National Foundry in
Pennsylvania, as are used in urging a better
protection for our iron interest. It needs and
should receive additional encouragement, not
to build up a monopoly of capital, but to give
more certain and better paid employnent to
labor.
We therefore earnestly urge upon our fel
low citizens of all classes to present to Cone
grass their claims for Pittsburgh to be select
ed as the location cf the proposed National
Foundry, 33 the advantages to be derived to
Western Pennsylvania from such an improve..
ment are of such magnitude as to be apparent
to all.
The facts to which we have alluded, show
that the Government is not ignorant of the
great manufacturing advantages of our dia.
trict,'as it has already used them to a large
extent. This is a point gained, and if the
Foundry Bill should become a law, a proper
presentation of the advantages of our locality
to the Board appointed to select a site, will
convince them, if they are reasonable men,
that at no other point in the country can all
the elements for such an institution be found
so perfectly and so happily combined as in
our own city.

Gen. George W. Bowman, of Bedford coun
ty in this State, is superintendent of public
panting, and a most excellent officer he is,
watching over the public interests in this dills
cult department with a stern honesty of pur
pose which is worthy of the highest pra'se.
Not long since, it appears that some one wrote
to Gen. Bowman making an illegal and dishon•
est proposition to aecnre an order for paper.
His reply is well worthy of the high reputa•
tion for Integrity which has always distinguish
ed General Bowman, and which be seems de
termined most sternly to carry out in the

"outside the usual contracts," and propose to

deceased friend.
In the first place, I have no authority to pur
chase any paper, except in the manner . r: esai

his character, by accepting for himself or others
a per tentage in the allotment of contncts.

The Penal Code Commiesloners.
Is Mr. Buekalew eligible as commissioner to
revise the penal cede ? My assertion on the
above point having been called iu question by a
certain newspaper here, I have been induced to
look further into the question, and find that I
am not only sustained by the books, but as well
by the opinions cf eminent lawyers. What was
the intention of the framers of the Constitution
in prohibiting any Senator or Representative
from holding an office that had been created
during the time for which he had been elected?
Was it not to prevent their creating a host of
useless as roll as useful commissionerships, like
the present, with their two thousand dollars per
annum, which members might step into as soon
as the session bad closed ?
Such being the meaning cf the framers, they
supposed that they had effected their purpose
by the following clause " No Senator or Repre
sentative shalt, during the time for which he
shall have been elected, be appointed to any
civil office under this Commonwealth, whioh
shall have been created, or the emoluments of
which have been increased, during such time."
But it is contended that the commissionership
question is not an "office." This directly
raises the question—what is an office ? The fra
mers of the C - institution must bo supposed to
have used the term in its ordinary meaning—
that according to the common understanding
of men. What, then, is the popular apprehen
,ier of the term? Webster defines an office to
ho ".s. particular duty, charge or trust conferred
by public authority, and for a public purpose
an employment undertaken by commission or
authority from Government or those who admin
ister it."
It may bo =aid, however, that this is a legal
qu:otion, and ought to receive a legal construe
113m Be it so. Chancellor Kent is considered
Foca authority among lawyers, and here-is-his
d2faition: "Offices consist in a right and cor
respondent duty to execute a public or private
t, and to take the emoluments belonging to
it." Ji.mvier's Law Dictionary is a book of repu
tation, and it is the special object of such a work
to &Soo questions of this sort with accuracy.
0 reads thus; "An office is right to exercise a
public, function or employment and to take the
foes and emoluments belonging to it."
We cannot see how the present case can be got
' without the pale of the above defini'ions. The
comna;ssioncrehip, to be sure, is a temporary
one ; but so are many other offices. ThoFe in a
Torritory, for example, ate only created for a
special purpose and limited term. The question
thus far has been considered on general princi
ples. It is barely possible that there is some
sherp legal decision sustaining a different con
struction ; but if so, it is evidently in the teeth
of the true intent and meaning of the framers
cf the Constitution Mr. Bueltalew would doubt
less be excellently qualified to revise the penal
code, and it is therefore to be regretted that he
is not eligible to this "office."—Cor. of Fress.

Monument in Front of the Celli 01.

the erection of a monument in front of the Capitol

purpose is $6,000, and the Commissioners are
determined to erect such a monument as will re
flect credit upon the State. A meeting of the
Commissioners will be held in a short period,
when arrangements for the receipt of proposals
to do work, and designs for the monument will
be made, after which it will be pressed forward
as rapidly as circumstances will permit. We

Marriage of a Plillodelpria Heiress In
PAP. IS, April B.—A grand event in our Ame
oan circler, came off this morning. The only
daughter of Mr. John Ridgeway, of Philadel
phia, vial married to Ore Marquis de Gannay,
a French nobleman. The bride has only just
turned her twentieth year, is very hau,dscioe,
and highly accomplished. In view of her
father's enormous wealth, she has been comid
ered a great prize, and all the young bloods of
title have brew engaged in a hot pursuit of la
belle Aritricaine for the lest three or four years.
Hor par:nts have allowed hor to exercise her OWU
judgment and taste in this, to her, vital affair,
and the object cf her, choice 12 ono of affection,
though he adds to his exterior an old name and
favorable antecedents.
The marriage aline off this morning first, in
the Protestant Chapel, the persuasions of the
bride, and the ceremony was then repeated in
the Catholic Church, to which the bridegroom
belonged. A breakfast in the English fashion
followed at the house of Mr. Ridgeway. The
company was numerous, and mostly French,
Some English and a sprinkling of Americans
were present. The American Minister was called
to sign the marriage 00}1tritEt, along with the
Baring of Barings Brothers, London, and
Mr. Hottipaer, the French banker.
The bride looked very lovely, as any girl of
twenty must do, with a becoming wreath of
orange blossoms on her head, and her eye lit up
with the animation of such a thrilling moment.
The " happy man" was easy graceful, as all well
bred Frenchmen arc, and ho seemed wonder
fully resigned to his luck to marrying at 26 years
of age a young lady possessing so many charms,
substantial and othe.rwise,as the fascinating Emily
Ridgerrry.
IC is rumored that Mr. Ridgeway does not
mean to give his daughter any considerable dower
nt present, and soulo say that he intends to bestow
the balk of his vast fortune ou his only son a youth
of some five or sill yezas rid. Ilia father before
him, Jacob Ridgeway, of Philadelphia, made the
same preference for the male branch by bequeath
ing most of his money to his Earl John, and cut
ting MI his two daughta:s, the late Mrs. Rush
and Mrs. Dr. Barton, with the miserable stipend
of $500,000 apiece. lf, therefore,Mr. John Ridg
way, now of Paris, serves his pretty daughter in
the same way, he will be under the avoidable
necessity of leaving to hi; son, the aforesaid
young gentlemen, the pitiful sum of three mil
lion-rd upwards. The fortune of Mr. Ridge
way must be hourly increasing, and if he lives
twenty years, t 1• re is no telling to what it will
ultimately am....ut. He is a careful man in
money matters, and never makes a bad invest
ment.

priation for paying reporters, and the third section
of the louse defiinieney appropriation
On motion of Mr. Toombg, of Georgia, a commit
tee of conference was appointed.
The report of the Kansas Conference Committee
coming up, Mr. Dough:, of Illinois, objected to tte
substitute. btoaue it did not submit the Lecompton
Constitution fairly to the people, but made its ad-
mission virtually contingent on tho acceptance or
rejection of the land grant.
Ho objected also to the offer of a bribe to come in
40,000 of a population under one hind of a consti
tution, and not unless they have a population of 9 0,.
000 under the other. What is this but a Congres-
sional intervention, offering a bounty on tho ono
hand and a Penalty on the other, to control the re
sult? This left no freedom of election for five
months. He (Douglas) stood as he now stands
with the Democracy of his State on the principles of
submitting the constitution, under which the people
of Kansas shall come into the Union, to the direct
vote of the people.
Mr. Douglas continued: That glorious band of
Democrats who acted with him in Congress have
achieved a triumph. He sought no personal triumph,
and would not, therefore, enter into a question of
which party has backed down from its original pre ,
tensions. Although the Government did say, at the
commencement of the session, that Kansas must
comp in unconditionally under the Locompton Con
stitution, the Administration has receded from that
proposition, and ho and his party e asked to re•
cede from the position they have ak n, because the
other party have made so many co essions, but that
is no reason he should concede a principle from
which he cannot mode. Strike out the land grans,
and strike out the limitation of the population, and
he would vote for the Conference proposal at once.
In other words, if you wish to mako the proposal
fair, you must give equal terms to Kansas under
whatever constitution she elects. How, he asked,

missioners of elation containing a majority of U.
S. officers, ho proceeded to say that ho was in favor
of no territory forming a State govornnient pr a
constitution, until it had the requisite population.
Ho took his stand firmly on the great principle of
State equality of right, with refinance to their
locality or the nature of their institutions. What
the consequence will be of the position be has taken,
ho knows not, hot if he cannot remain in public life,
with the principles he maintains, he would retire
into private life, where he could enjoy the approval
of his conscience.
Mr. Brown addressed the Senate in favor of the
Conference substitute, describing it as a peace meas
ure ivi+ll healing on its wings.
Mr. Toombs warmly defended the Conference sub
stitute, denying any bribe of lands. Os the con
trary, the committee refused to give Kansas the sev
enteen millions of acres she asked.
Mr. Wilson replied to Mr. Toombs in reference to
the seventeen millions. A direct bribe is offered of
hundreds of thousands of acres, and of dollars. Two
millions of public lands are advertised to be sold on
the first of J. ly, and hero is a direct bribe of five
per cent. on sales amounting to hundreds of thou
sands of dollars offered if Kansas will come is be.
fore the first of July. On the other hand, the direct
penalty is that she shall be kept out of the Union,
although every one acquainted with Kansas knows
that the feeling in that Territory is almost unani
mous in favor of its admission. Mr. Wilson then
went into a lengthened discussion of the hostility of
Kansas to the Lecompton Constitution, and charged
that it was now being attempted to bribe and threaten
her into it under the project gotten up by the con
ference, and intended to bo imposed by deceit and
fraud. _ -
The Chafe was suggesting that the expression was
inadmissible, when Mr. Green rose and said that be
was one of those referred to, and felt no hurt that
Mr. Wilson had made the charge of fraud if ho could
prove it, and would take the responsibility. lie then
went over the records of the Kansas election to show
that the administration assented to and approves of
them by continuing its countenance to their authors
and abettors. Ho thought that the people of Kansas
would reject bribes, scorn threats, and could not be
got under this conference scheme into the Union ex
cept by stupendous and gigantic frauds and fraudu
lent votes. If tho pe ple of Kansas will make a
new free constitution and bring it before Congress, if
she hue enough population to come in now as a slave
State, you must admit her es o free State or
keep her out at your peril, There Is no truce in
this substitute, although there would have been
peace in the Crittenden amendment. Mr. Green
took occasion to refer to Mr. Wilson's charge
cf fraud and said that cat of the fullness of the
heart the mouth speaketh. Ito would like to put
him tinder oath, and cross-tuestion him whether ever
there were frauds in Kansas till Mr. Wilson wont
there, and whether he did not send for Jim Lane to
consoet the matter with him.
r. Wilson utterly repudiated and reminded' Mr.
Green that the frauds were committed by his con•
stituent Missourians.
Mr. 801 l explained the reasons which would govern
his voto. He also campered the Crittenden and
the conference substitute, showing their relative worth
and effect.
Mr. Seward road a paragraph from the Washington
correspcndenco of the Tribune, in which incidents
represented 43 having occurred in the Commitico of
Conference were related. They were mainly correct
in facts, but were colored to envoy an erroneous im
pression that Mr. Green coerced Messrs. Seward and
Howard. Mr. Seward ezbonerated Mr. Green, where
upon Mr. Green returned the courtesy by moving.to
adjourn, which Mr. Seward, being slightly indis
posed, was glad to bear.
The Senate then Ift di earn zd.
110IISD OP REPB.I:SENTATIVES
4 1110 House resumed tho consideration of the Kan
sas report.
Mr. Cox, of Ohio, defined his position. Ho was
the first in the House to oppose the Lecompton Con
stitution, bat after a careful consideration of his
duty to his party, to his State, to the Union, and to
the welfare of the whole people, he had come to the
deliberate conclusion to support the report of the
committee, though by it the constitution is not sub
mitted, yet the means are provided for obtaining the
sense of the people. They can reject it if they do
not like it. do bribe has been offered, as has been
asserted, to Kansas,
for she will get the lands as
have the other new States. Cevernor Walker had
informed him that Kansas will have the requisite
population, by next autumn for one representative,
according to the federal ratio. In the spirit of con
cession, and for the sake of the united Democracy
to which he owed all he had, with a view to peace
and the despatch of pnblio basine-s, ho determined
to give.the report of the committee his support.
Mr. Cox, aceo.ding, to en arrangement with Mr.
Clingman, renewed the latterts demand for the pro.
vices question.
Messrs. Marshall, of Kentucky, and Campbell, of
011ie, asked to be heard, the latter claiming the same
privilege for his side of the Ohio delegation ; as had
been accorded to Mr. Cox.
Mr. Lawrence of Ohio, said that the report was
not all that ha desired, but it substantially was what
ho claimed, and was proceeding to give his reasons
why he shogld vote for it, when gr. Clingman in•
terposed, saying that the demand for the previous
question had bean renewed. •
Many gentlemen claimed, in the name of justice,
that they should ba heard against the report.
Amid the confusion that ensued, Mr. Garnett, of
Virginia, said that he would move for a postpono•
lExcessive laughter.]
Mr. Lawrence immediately responded:—
"
And while the lamp holds out to burn,
The vilest sinner ma) return." tLaughtcr.l
Mr. Marshall—That may be the gentleman's epi
taph.
After a conversation between Messrs. Cox and
Maashall, Mr. Giddings said that ho was about the
last to agree to the Crittenden-Montgomery amend
ment was that he had understood that every gentle
man of the Douglas wing stood pledged to be his co
workers and to stand by them to the last.
When Mr. Giddings finished his remarks he was
se zed with a fainting tit and was carried from the
Hall, but soon recovered and returned to his seat.
Mr. Burnett endeavored to ask Mr. Marshall a
question, but the latter declined to yield the floor.
Mr. Marshall explained why he had been found
voting with the Republicans, and tendered to that
party his tribute of thanks for their patriotism. In
conclusion, ho quoted the remark of the Richmond
South newspaper, that no more slave States shall
come into the Union, was the issue. Ho had no fear
of disunion. The people of the South will listen to
no such clamor. Ho had exerted himself to get the
Republican members to vote as they did with an eye
to the fact that there were disunion platforms which
that vote would close ever forever.
Mr. Hughes demanded the previous question, which
was not seconded, the vote being 99 against 105.
Mr. Garnett moved that the further consideration
of the subject be postponed until the second Tuesday
of May.
Mr. Jones, of Tennessee, was tired of this mode of
proceeding, and with a view to bring up the question
directly, moved to lay the report on the table as a
test question. The motion was disagreed to by a
vote of 101 against 113.
Mr. Jones said that the vote just taken showed
that a majority was not against the bill, and moved
the previous question, which the House refused to
second by a vote of 103 against 107.
Mr. Garrfett now wanted the vote taken on his
motion to postpone till the second of May. [Cries
from the Ropublican side, "Agreed."
After further debate, and without agreeing upon
any action, the House, on motion of Mr. Letchor,
adjourned by a vote of yeas 122, nays 82.
From Washington.
WASHINGTON CITY, April 29.—Messrs. Broderick
and Seward will speak to-morrow, which will clime
the debate•on Kansas. The veto will probably be

In the House today, Mr. Jones, of Tennessee,
moved to lay the report of the Conference Committee
on Kansas on the table, as a test question. All tae
members did not so regard :t, as some of the known
enemies of the report voted in the negative.

the Deficiency Appropriation, consist of Messrs.
Toombs, Biggs and Fossonden on the part of the
Senate, end Messrs. Botcher, Maclay and Niohols on

by Gen. Herron, the New Granadian Congress,:at
the latest dates, wss engaged in the consideration of
a new federal consideration. The Cass.Harran
treaty had received the first reading in the Senate
and was referred to committee. Tao general im
pression was that it would pass both houses and be
come a law of the land, with perhaps several amend
ments, for the better understanding of some of its
provisions, including that for a coal depot, the privi
lege to occupy which i+ is thought should be limited
to the expiration of the treaty, when the privilege
could be renewed.
Tho States of this evening publishes another letter
dated from Panama, April 16th, in which it is-stated

the Mosquito Coast. By the last Califernia steamer
he received intelligence that his proposition had been
favorably received by the Mormons, and this infor
mation enabled him to raise $30,000 cash and $30,-
000 more in merchandise and supplies, with which,
accompanied by twenty followers, be has sailed for
Groytown. Be expects to obtain through Gen. La
mar permission to colonize the country under the
Nicaraguan flag, obligating the colonists to help to
defend Nioaraugua against - the encroachments of
filibusters. Failing to obtain this privilege, he will
hoist the Nicaraguan flag, and as this is under Brit
ish protection, he expects no serious opposition from
any quarter.
