We see il stated that the War Department at
Washington has advertised for several thousand
yards OF English and French calicoes, for Indian
annulues. IL is fact, we believe, that very
large portion of the calicoes now worn in the
United States are Of American manufacture.
They are cheaper, of as good and durable colors,
OF as tasteful patterns, and frmer fabric than
the foreign. Are they not good enough for the
Indians Our public officers occupy singular
position towards the people Of their own coun-
try, whose servants they are. When anything
is required for public use, they forget their own
countymen, and send abroad for supplies, as ifil
were derogatory to know our own artizans or to
look at their productions When the peoples
money is entrusted to them to lay our, it is ex-
pended IN other countries, and the profits OF
supply bestowed upon the subjects of foreign
government; bul when money is 10 be raised 10
pay Tor their purchases, or their own salaries,
then they can find out how to exact from their
counlrymen the sum required In no country
but this would such course be tolerated.
Think OF it, good people, one and all. Your
servants are alien TO your feelings and interests.
Your own manufactures good enough for you
and your wives and children, are not good
enough for the use Of the Indians or for cover
ing TO the floors Of the halls for your own Rep
resentatives in Congress. This anti-American,
this foreign feeling, should be repudiatcd, and
the sooner the better-C Cincinnati Gazette.
