His remarks upon monopolies are entitled to a more extensive circulation than the local politics of Massachusetts would give them, and in justice to his views we have given the article entire. We commend it especiallv to the notice of those profound expositors of the Constitution of the United States, the Nullifiers of the South w hose professed antipathy to monopolies, in the shape of protection to American manufactures, was regarded as a sufficient justification for involving the nation in the miseries of a civil w ar and w ho by way of shewing their consistency, are now among the most ( . a utrageous supporters of of all monopolies the that mammoth ot all monoix Dunk of the United States. We take great pleasure, which we have no doubt will be felt by all independent politicians throughout the L'nion, in contrasting the sentiments of an honest and highminded statesman like Mr. Allen, upon this subject, with the 'golden opinions of Messrs. 'Ciav, Webster, and the host of hireling cditoi j in the pay of the Bank. To the Editor of the Covrier: I ha, e ebsenedmy name in a li-t f respectable gcntlemer., from whirh it is expected, the Convention at orccter n in sntTi .i i.iiiuiuatv; iui ;oi ru"i.

With all b:cotifing respect, I have thought u0 faV as relates to government, has bepreper to w itlidiaw it from the notice of jcewie stale, and it is found, that the mo-

that assemblv. Alnnutv have there I oen two corn entions, and two candidate? rammated for the office; the one has been des ignated for his disposition to support antiMasonrv, the other for his favorable cpin o-n Ol me procni iiuinini-j.i.uion; alio Vnis third convention is to be held, as 1 suppose, for the purpose of nominating anctbT candidate. ho shall be of opposite opinions to tho first, in regard to anti .Masourv, and to the last, as to the general JO I U SI I ? n nil' 'ii . in iinv ...... i in ties do I iTceive the slightest reference to anv principle or object which belongs to tate administration, or to any plan of policy or coarse of measures which its candidate is expected to pursue. If the elections of the State arc to be decided on other grounds than those which ,ptdate to the aims of its own policy, and as ithout reference to w hat it ce to what its admmistra :ept, perhaps so far as re tion to r,veH cards the distribution of its offices, it go

vcrnmcnt will not only of accomplishing anv purpose of positive utility to the

j people, but it will become an instrument Tor effecting anysehctnc of private cupidity or personal ambition, into whosesoever hands it may full. It will be a mere nctt, if I may b pardoned the expression, for anv cuckoo to lav its eggs in. Tt might have been foreseen that the State governments would bo brought into disadvantageous contrast with the administration of the Union, and that their independent action would be more endangered by its active influences, than bv anv 4 I I .1 t 'lUlMUHUUIU.s n ,Oll UlUir HUIWexcept i'j so far as encroachments shonld be induced by such influences. I peak of the general tendency of things, and have no allusion to any particular administration. But this tendenev, if it be without the fault of the national governmeut, is not less hurtful or dangerous on that account. After all, government depends more on the actual sentiments and aims of the people, and on the active influences at its disposal, than on constitutional provision. The chief objections of direct interest to the mass of the people are within the competence of the State administration, I It is to an efficient legislation, directed To f that great object, as its pole-star, that they are to look tor the protection ot their economical interests, on which their private comfort, the condition of their children, and their liberties depend. Itmav be an invidious office, at present, I am performing, but the time will come when it will not be so regarded. There arc two great classes in the community founded in the relation they respectively bear to the subject of its wealth. The one is the producer, the other the accumulator. The whole products are divided between them. lias not one an interest to retain as much as it can, and the other an interest to get as much as it can ? I am not discussing the merits of their respective claims or stating what the principle is which awards to each its share, nor what the share of the one or the other i or ought to be. I mcrel v sav that there is, in fact, a distinction of inIterests between them, and that the differ ence in their external condition is mudi tiie cfteet of that distinction. I say, further, that this distinction, if it has its origin in nature, owes its aggravations and its rineipal mischiels to the perversion o! , . . g(,vensmo:iis. niu aomiuisirauou oi cvniry government, w hcther it is seen or not. will he guided and controled bv one or the other of these interests. The accumulating class has itself an interest in tho amou:l . ? production and tins is the ricuturc oi irroiesi. it is in mo na ture of things that government w ill alays adapt its policy, be the heory o, its institution what it mav, to tne interests and aims of the predominating class And labor has been oftentimes more depressed and depraved under the purest political f rms than in single despotisms. I ask if labor has ever hail a predominating influence in any government? whether the policy of any state or nation has even been tdapted to the interests of the producing class? There have been, every where, bad administrations enough under other influences, and humanity has suffered enough bv their means. I should be glad to see an experiment of one administration, of which the interests of this class should be the guiding star. I look to the time when an enlightened opinion and just sentiment among the people shall o ing in such an administration. I care not in ! u,,osft llAndf iUu:iy be ll tsdircctio:i and lts ln:rl,ose bo n-ht' I do not think that office is the only fiebl of usefulness or honor, and I am contented and better satisfied to devote tnv humble powers to this great object in private life, than 1 could be in the exercise of any public functions. I am encouraged in my hopes of an economieal reform by the course which the President has taken in regard to the United .States Bank. The spirit of accumulation is mischicvovwonough b its individual oppressions. There is nu end to I its devices for reaping where it has not j sowed Since the invention tf paper curroticv. u'.e oio iiieiiioii oi excessive usurv. ! n0nolv ot tne public tie d 'of credit and 'eurreiicv affords a more abundant harvest. i . What government in these ilays has been able to ?tand ugaint the power of !f.focated irealthf It is the real aynarfy of modern ?:ates, let the forms of their governments be what thoy may. If the great influence and political intrepidity and personal firmness of the President shall save jthe government of this country from its ! grasp, he will be the restorer of freedom .iniiiu i;u.,'.v..

If we leave any vacancy for ennui to creep in, it surely must be our own fault. Needle work, in all its countless forms of use. elegance and ornament, has ever beea the appropriate occupation of woman. From the shades of Eden, where its simple process was but to unite the fig leaf to the days when the most exquisite tissues of embroidery rivalled nature's pencil, it has been their duty and their resource The more delicate efforts of the needle, claim a high rank among lemminc accompli-nments. hut its necessary departments should be thoroughly conomv a wish to add to the comfort of those around and a desire to aid in the relief of the poor, w ill induce her to become expert in those inventions, bv which various articles of apparel are repaired, uueicu or renovaieu.

A lads going to a rout, would think little of forgetting her tan, but could not spend half an hour, without her implements of female industry. At Dresden, even the theatre is no protection against kniiting-needloji. 1 have scenaladv gravelv lav down her work, wipe away the tears, w hich the sorrows of Thekla, or Walienstein's death had brought into her eves, and quietly resume her knitting. Knitting is adapted to those littlo intervals of time when it .1 1 1 . I would be scarcely convenient to collect j the more complicated apparatus of needle! work. It is the friend of twilight that sw eet season of reflection, so happily described by a Scotch writer as that brief period ';uhen the shuttle stands still, before the lamp is lighted.' Neither are the pro ductions of the knitting-needle so valueless, as those who lake no part in them are disposed to pronounce. Yet, if there are any who consider so humble a branch of economv unworthy of their regard, thev may still be influenced to patronize it, for the sake of the comfort it administers to the poor. Their laborious occupation and limited leisure often preclude their atten tion to this employment, and a pair of thick stockings in winter, will be usuallv found a most acceptable gift to their shuddering little ones. Knitting sepms to have a native affinity with social foeling. It leaves the thoughts at liberty for conversation, and yet imparts just enough of the serene and self-satisfied sensation of industry, to promote good humor and pre pare lor the pleasant interchange oi sympathy. I recollect i:i my early davs, sometimes seeing a number of most respectable eldeily Indies, collected for an afternoon's visit, all knitting, all discussing ! me vanoas tonics oi nn-T n .or v rnnz-oni with friendly interest and delight. I saw benevolent smiles beaming from tbeir faces, and forthwith my childish mind formed a fancied union between knitting and contentment, which, perchance, is not vet broken. I observed that the fabrics which they wrought, to protect the feet of their households, were composed of yarn manufactured by their own hands. And here, permit me to advert to that almost forgotten utensil, the large spinning wheel. 1 ro;n the universal and yet gentle exercise it atfords the liinbs, the chest and the w hole frame, it is altogether the best mode of domestic callisthenics, w hieli has hith j crto been devised. It is well adapted to those periods when from a succession of storms, ladies arc prevented from walking in the open air, and begin to feci the lassitude of a too sedentary life. B v a change of habits in the community, and thcintroduetion of machinery on a large scale, domestic manufactures have become a le---prominent branch of economv. Still some degree of alliance exists between them. Materials for winter stockings might be probably prepared in familieV. Durable flannels, and even handsome carpets, have been often the production of delicate hands. Among large families ol sisters, the cheerful operation t the spinning w heel assume the character of an amuse ment, and are said ta promote a happv low oi spirits, were my own sex great j admirers of antiquity us the other, I might i bespeak a iuost creditable chronology for
