Every would suppose that this grand display
of American genius and enterprise would have been
regarded with pride and JOY by every rue-hearted
American. TO see these overwhelming proofs Of
the progress the country has made, and how in
dependent foreign nations for the supply of our
wants we have become, would be exactly what
would warm every patriot heart. But we find, in
stead of such patriotic Joy, the most lugubrlous
groanings on the part of the Government organ and
others of that k The Union admits in its columns
articles treating the whole display with rdcule and
contempt, and can see in these demonstrations of
American greatness and honorable competition with
foreign enterprise nothing but shilling show, with
no higher character than menagerie. When, few
weeks ago, British agent exhibited his specimens
of British manufacture in room in the Capitol, the
free-rade Locos were delighted; but when Ameri-
can manufacturers came forward to show what
be done in this country, the Locos turn up their
noses and swear they smell menagerie. Fine pa
triots these Locofocos Where is the British party!
And who are the friends Of American interests


FREEDMAN.


This great National Fair was suggested by an
exhibition of foreign goods under the auspices of
British agent This agent Of the Manchester ma
nuiacuurers suffered to make display OF Brl-
tish fabrics under the dome of the National Capl-
tol, for the purpose of "humbugging the peoples
representatives into belief that, if they would de-
stroy our protective policy, the people could pur-
chase articles made in England much cheaper than
they now procure those manufactured in this coun-
try.'' While the British exhibition was in pro-
gress, the government paper contained no articles
sneerng at it, The editor and the majority OF the
Locofocos at the seat of Government were in &C.
stacies, and thought that such an exhibition would
the speedy downfall of the protective policy.
