Some of the ablcst papers we haze for
years have cmanatcd from the great meetings held
in iittSburg Harrisburg, &c. il; Pcnnsy sylvania.-
There were responses from five different Counties
in Ohio read ut the last. stated Home League
meeting in this city.


| Al many Of the League meetings resolutions
are unanimously passed TO wein, no more foreign
clothing, and in all their purchases give pre-
farcnco Home Manufactures. This, arc
well aware, is not sufficient Of itself, but the
ample is excellent and in conjunction with sound
protecting laws, would soon relieve us from all
embarrassmcnts.


But what we look TO as likely to cons,lm-
mate our hopes, is the feeling awakening at the
South. One of the leading Agricultural Societies
Of North Carolina has adopted the Home League
principles. Alabama, fearful her cotton will
soon be superseded, has called Convention and
must ultimately come into Ho1pc League views.
Virginia has already formed -four Leagues, and is
dcterlsined to protect and brin. forth hcr mex
| lrmlstiblc resources. Louisiana also holding
her meetings. This universal enthusiasm and con-
currcncc OF opinion cannot fail 10 ensure ultimate
and complete success.

flemc League every way in regard to the qucs

postpone the subject indefinitely was not intended
to express opinion either way on the merits
and we npprelcnd a majority Of the members pre-
sent were tavorablcto the principles Of Mr.. Camp
belts Report, though ii was wisely deemed proper
to set aside Il matter which was exciting much
feeling and was not deemed necessarily connected
with the great principle for which the Home
League contends. As we resisted that Report
and its advocates to the utmost, assertion
this point ough, IL be disintereScd. II, least.


x We understand that Mr.. CHARLES LYElL
the celebrates. English Geoosist and author of
several valuable and popular works this sci
cnce, Is soon to commence a course OF Lectures in
this city. The first is to be delivered on NNedne>-
day evening. March 10th. From the deep interest
of the subject and the distinguished character of
the Lecturer VIC anticipate valuable series.
