BUSINESS PROSPECTS.
Some of our city coten.por.ries note a
stir ia business, and in such a cheerful
tone a. to induce a prevalent confidence
that tbedark days are over, and that a
vista of indefinite prosperity is opening
befure us. The items upon which the be
lief seems to be based arc, the heavy in
creases of our imports since January 1st
over the corresponding period of last year,
the revival of manufactures, the activity
evinced in auction and other marts of
fabrics, and the heavy rush of strangers to
the cities in uet of good or situations.
The New York Tribune iudicutes some
reasons for believing this prosperity pre
carious if not delusive.

is and has been it weaker side, and there
is little prospect of any incitement to
such expansion.
"IV. The errors and vices which pro-
duced and precipitated the late Revulsion
are still in full vigor. Our Tariff is so
adjusted as to invite Foreign Fabrics and
repel their producers, whom we should
import instead. Our able and ambitious
youth are attracted to Trade, to the Pro
fessions, to Filibustering of some sort
rarely to any form of Productive Industry.
Advertise to-day for a man to manage a
farm, and three fourths of the responses
will come from men of European birth.
Advertise for a boy in a lawyer's office, a
clerk in a store, a partner in a venture to
Pike's Peak, and two third of the respon
ses will come from native Americans. We
are still, as a people, intent on getting
suddenly rich by some kind of speculation,
tenc by industry. Credit is again expan
ding its sails; we know that goods are
extensively sold in our city this Spring, to
Southern retailers, on a year's credit at
what rates of profit, tbe reader will judge
for himself. Enlarged discounts and dis
tant pay days are the general aspiration.
The lame ducks of 1857 are intent upon
National Bankrupt Law as tbe pool of
Siloam wherein their distemper, are to be
washed away. Our aspiring youth fancy
it easier to win a coffee or a sugar planta
tion under the bead of some Lopez, Wal
ker, or Henningsen, than to bew a farm
oat of the wilderness or break one out of
the prairies. In spite of immense advan
ces in Agricultural machinery, we gtow

Colonization of Liberia.
It is the ardent wish, we believe of a
great portion of the JVmerican peoplc.that
the African race among us might be colo-
nized in some country of their own, where
they would h-vc motive for improvement,
and where they would not be perpetually
degraded by tbe superiority of whites.
This is desirable on account of both races,
and would be to tbe advantage of both.
With this belief, it gives ns pleasure to
publish anything showing the advance
ment of Liberia. Rev. John Seys, Gov
ernment Agont for recaptured Africans,in
a letter from Liberia states the follow
ing :
"Tbe National fair was beicg held on
our arrival. Instead of a crystal jxtlacf,
tbey bad one much more appropriate, a
bamboo floor and sides, and the roof cov
ered neatly with the palm thatch. I ob
tained a Bcasou ticket, aud mingled in the
throng, to see aud examine the evidences
of Libcrian improvement. I was sur
prised beyond all anticipation, aud could
scarcely realize where 1 was. I can uot
enumerate tbe articles on exhibition, but I
was truly gratified with every department.
Tbe specimens of sugar cane oun not be
excelled in tho West indies, save in tbe
Island of Trinidad. Socks made of silk
of tbe great cotton silk tree of the tropics
is decidedly a triumph ot Siberian ingenu
ity. Never did I believe that tbe short
fibre of the article could possibly be spun
or wove ; but the daughter, of Liberia
have done it. Gunpowder made here, by
a native Liberian, arrested my atteution.
Beautiful furniture, made of tbe superior
wood of the forests, claimed the admira
tion of all. But 1 can only mention,
without commenting upon, the tools man
ufactured berc, the superior iron ore, the
cotton, coffee, cocoa, ginger, corn meal,
arrow root, yams, eddoes and many more,
all giving indisputable evidence of tbe
vast fertility of the soil, of the onward
rapid march in the improvement of the
people of Liberia, and of the consoling
fact that those who labor for their ad
vancement in the art. and scieuce9,or any
good thing, do not labor in vain."

Clark, a poor widow lady from Selinsgrove,
