The Divergency of interests of the New England States and the West.

Lawrence, Massachusetts. It is the same way with all the manufacturing towns of New England. They are all making money (as they have never made before) by reason of the high tariff and the war. The money they make so rapidly is mostly extracted from the West, whose people are growing poor for the same causes from which New England is growing rich. To add insult to injury, the Governor of Massachusetts proposed, in his recent message, that that State ought not to be required to furnish any more men for the war; that her systems of industry required her men at home, and that the Federal Government would be benefitted by leaving them at home and seeking for men in States which could better spare them!--Chicago Times.
