Plymouth county has peculiar claima on the res- pect of all New Epglanders. It is the heart of what is affectionately called the “Old Colony.” From Plymouth settlement, which existed apart from Mas- | sachucetts for some seventy years, were made the counties of Plymouth, Bristol and Barnstable, in 1685. Here cathe the Pilgrims in 1620, and com- | menced the existence of a body politic which has | since exerted infinences 20 prodigious on the mora and intellectual world.

Tt was a garrison house to Philip's war, and was then about furty years old, as it way bnilt in 1634 by one Jobu Williams. Ware- ham, s» famous ior Its tron works’ was purchased by the whites in 1655, but did not become aa incor perated town until 1839. Rochester is 167 yeara old, and has a reputation for ship building. It con- taius the villages of Mettapoisit and Sippican, both of which are well kwewn to marinersand merehsats. Bridgewater bas bad an existence ot two centuries. Rome of the most venerable towns of the Old Colony are situated ip the present counties of Barnstavle and Bristol, The pilgrims Grst landed in what is now Barnstable coanty. The county of Plymouth presenta no such startling contrasts in the rate of increase of popatation that are afforded by some others of our counties, [a 1820 the popalation was 38,136; in 1830, 42,993; in 1840, 46 756; and in 1860 it was 64.509. Taking the mean rate of increase since 1840 for the basis of calevlation, itis probable that te pamber is now 67000. Considerably more thon one-half the whole inerease of the county’s popalation, between 1540 and 1460, was made by the three towns of A vingion, North Bridgewater, and Wareham; while two-toirds of the remainder was made by the four towns of Brdgewater, East Bridgewater, Hingham aud Plymouth, leaving only about one thoasaud increase to divide among fourteen towns. two of which— Dixbury and Rochester— positively lost in numbers. The other twelve towns made sma)! additions to their people, Flalifux increased 21, Hull 45, Plympton 60, Curver 172, Marabfield 57, Kingston 128, Pemoroke 101, Hanover 71, Middteborough 117, and so on, These facts show how Jittle of change there is ia the Old Colony, and that this part of Massachusetts ought to be the favorite home of couservatism, though the fact happens to be the exact reverse. Of the places that made the jargest increase, Abioxton stands firet. Her popalation was 3,144 in Ist0, and 6,288 in 1850—imereare, 2,144. Middieborongh was amuch larger place in 1840 than Abington, Laving 6006; but, in ten years, Middleboroagh made but little increase in men, while Abington ficusishea in that way amazingly. Middleborough ia the largest town in the State, in point of terntory. Ivis democratic in its politics, while Abiexton is fameus for its free soilism. Middleborough has re- cently been ¢ivided. In 1840 the value of property in Plymoath connty was $10,694,719, which. In ¥860 hed increased to 41,200,668. The grestest, increase was made by Atrington, which ascended from 491.274 fy 1340, to 1.466.478 ig 1800. Ttngham increased _frona sitf oid to 21,570,886; Plymouth, from $1,598,880 to $2.473,125; Middleborough, from $1,042,357 to $1,603,828; North Bridgewater, from $423 514 to 1,045,150; Bast Bridgewater, from $343,493 to 814,600; Wareham, fom $518,250 to $901,603; Mar:hfield, from $448,473 to $643,191; Hull, from $58,124 to $117,323. I have mentioned. that Dux- bury and Rochester lost in population between 1840 and 1850, and yet both added largely to the amonut of their property. Duxbury was valued at $713,667, in 1840, and at. 1,075,363, in 1850; while Rochester inereaced from $750. to $1,181,629. Every town added something to its property, and the waole ainount appears to have apportioned among the whole nonrber- ot towns, with more than the asual approach to ity. The agricultural character of Plymouth is respec: table, but nothing more. The land, though in sume places rich and very productive, is, asa whole, of a secondary character. Of salt marsh thereare 6,105 acies; of fresh meadow, 10,637; of English and up- Jand mowing, 26,064; of pastarage, 72,275; of tillage Jend, 11,73 of woodland, 95,144; of unmproved Jand, 16,119; of land covered with water, 27,245; ueed for roads, 7,225. The amount of hay produced in 1950 was 32,467 tons; of Indian corn, 100,279 bushels; of oats, 23.460; of rye, 14.596; of barley, 3,048; of wheat, 275; of potatoes, abont 500,600; fruit, abont (50,000. ‘The other agricultural productions are firewood, wool, utter, cheese, milk, honey, cbarceal, beeswax, pov try and eges, nullet, broom corn, fruit trees, t s peas. and all kinds ef vegetables, garden stuffs, and so furth, common to Maseechasetts, Horses, cattle, sheep, and swine sre rai-ed in large numbers. The i number of horses in 1650 was 4,824; of oxen above four years old, 2,045; of cows, 8,680; of steers, 3,115; swine above six mouths, 6,796; sheep above six 850, valved a+ $62,506, and containing 7,890 spin- lex, These are located in the towns of Piymouth, j porough, Plympton, Marshfield and Kingston. utories at Plymouth town have thive-tifths of the capital, and almost one-third the spindles enu- merated; Middleborough comes next, and then Piympten, Marshfeld, and Kingston; the last nained town deing but little in the brsiness. There was a small woolicn factory at Duxbury. Cordage is manu- foetarcé at Duxbury, Hingham, and Plymouth. At Bridgewater, in 1850, were two rolling mills, valued at $55,000. One at Kast Bridgewater, €)2060; two ot Plymouth, $50,000, and five at Wareham, $114,000." At Bridgewater, Carver, Bast Bridgevater, Huson, Hingham, Middleborough, Plymouth, Wareham, and West Bridgewater, were nibeteen foundries, whoge united capitals were $72,760. In Bridgewater, East Bridgewater, Hano- ver, Plymouth, and Wareham, were eight forges, capitals $50,000. Seven 0f319,000.. The whole sum eck machines was £135,600. sted in nail and The number of $ ot which Wareham had 248, with $67,000 capital. At East Pridzewater is a cot ton gin manufactory, with a capital of $50,000. Shovels, rivets, angers, and anchors, are_mann*o- tered at Kiogston, iddleborough, Plymouth, Piympton, and Wareham. The number of tanneries is ten; of ropewalke, eight; of grist milia, sixty fo of raw mills, 105; ot mills of varione kinds, (aot in- cludmg those employed in the mannfactare of oot- factory. ‘The miscellaneons mannfactures of Plymooth cown- ty are—boots and shoes, leather, confectionary, lain- ber, e:ddles, trunks, harnesses, boxes of numerous | kinds, eables, anchors, nails, acs ware, door han- | dles and latches, soap, candles, straw bonnets and | hats, straw braid, brooms of ail kinds, bricks, railroad | cars, hollow ware and castings, willow baskets, cbairs, cabinet ware, tin ware, building stone, tacks end bra cotton gins, carriages, wood wagons, shoe-fiiteng machines, bout trees, laste, ploughs, bats and caps, edge tools « blocks, spars, paps, mechanics’ tools, p frames, agricultural implements, pal enuff, segars, nail casks, musical instram es, stoves, riveta, cod liver oil, ship staves, sleighs, &c.

After the departure of the President, the Hagle was no longer a receptacle for pilgrims from abroad. two ancient and tine-honored hajr trunks which held a portion of his wardrobe, and which subse. quently terried awhile in Gotham, at the Astor. Tue pilgrims followed the trunks. Perhsps they thought they contained “old clo’,” and hoped to seenre a thread bare coat, or an old-fashioned waistcoat, or a venerable pair of breeches, in the event of failing obtain an office. What became of the trunks, acd whether the pilgrims succeeded in obtaining any of their contests, “Pennacook” doesn’t know, although the Heratp probably does. At any rate, we sav them leave the Eagle ata little before 4 o'clock on the afternoon of February 14, 1553, Then this cara- vansary was comparatively deserted for a time, until the annual meeting of the State Legislature saw it filled to repletion agein, for five or six weeks. Sub- sequently it has become a favorite stopping plaice for a very considerable portion of the summer pleasure = travel between New York, Boston, and other cities, the sea beaches, and the lakes and mountains of New Hampshire and Vermont, Montreal, &c. Many arrive here from the sonth at & o’clock in the even- ing, and stop over night. Leaving Concord at 6 o'clock the following morning, they can arrive in Montreal the same afternoon, in season for a Inig dinner—distant 258 miles, over the No:thorn (N.

M., to stop over night. ‘Trains also leave here for Lake Winni piseogee (33 miles) at 10) A. M.and3 P.M, by both of which passengers can proceed towards the Francopia and White Mountains Notehes. All the objects of attraction in thore regions can be reached from Concord, by travellers from the South, with Jess railroad and ‘stage conveyance, and at less cx- pense, than hy any other route.

The landlord of the Lagle, Major John Gibson, was born and bred to hia business, Like many of your best New York landlords who have emigrated trom New Engiond, his father was the poe of one of thore old-fashioned Yankee inns, which, for corm- fort and good cheer, will never be excelled by the most splendid metropolitan hotels The Major waa bronght up in onc of these “taverns,” and of course is fully qualified to direct any of the latest modern improvements in hote: keeping.

The temperance men are abont to hold a State convention, with the intention of taking part in the coming pelitieal campaign, This is the best thing that could happen for the whigs, as it will take a lot of “high-tened moralists,” as they call them- selves, who have hitherto supported the coalition. These same ‘‘moralists’ are understood to be bent upon questioning all the candidates that shall be | nominated, and compelliog them to define their posi- tions in eloquent words, or hy still more eloquent silence. This could not fail to work well to the whigs, whose only source of hope is in the dissen- sions of their antagonists; and what rum may not be able to do aione, a judicious mixture of ram and water will perbaps bring about, producing a sort of political grog of the most “stunning” character. It is expected that the convention will be held on the 13th of September, in this city. fumor says that when the Whig State Central Committee moet here, Jast week, for the purpose of mahing the preliminary arrangements for the open- ing of the fall campaign, there was also a meeting of the whig editors of Massachusetts, for the purpose of fixing upon some general plan of action. Rumor then goes en to cay—perhaps with her asual imper- tinence—that the subject of a gubernatorial candi. date was diseussed, but no conclusion was come to about it, Isuspect that the characters and claims of Messrs, Clifford, Lawrence, Ashmun & Co. were pretty pupgently discused. Another subject was dieeussed, namely, the course to be pursued with reference to the new constitution, Tt was resolved at last, to oppose its adoption, the Springlield Re- publican and Pittsileld Eagle dissenting, So goes the tory, ond 1 presume it is substantially correct, It is certain that the whig pepors lave opened a sort of fire upon the new constitution, but thus far the: seem to have used only blank cartridges, which generally do no otber Larm than to bum tie hands of these who use them, or to cause their guns to explode. It ig not by any means certain, tha’ party, the whigs are opposed to the new tion, ae there are things in it which favor that party quite as much ag they do either freesoilers or demo- craty.
