JAMES GORDON BENNETT, Paopareton Heeato Estanc isHMENT, North West Corner of Fulton and Nassau streets. Tue Great Conrest.—The elements are in mo- tion from New York to Buffalo, relative to the next election in this State. Conventions have been held by both parties ; candidates have been selected, and clubs are forming all over the State, but particularly in this city. ‘The democrats are making the most of the events that have occurred during the last year; particular- ly the failure of the whigs to carry out their proposed measures—all except the tariff; and have made a great deal of capital out of their incapacity to con- duct the affairs of gevernment, or to have the lead in Congress. It seems now, on the other hand, that the Whigs mean to try—at least during the Presidential elec- tion—the old sing-song game which carried ‘ Tip- pecanoe and Tyler too” into the Presidential chair. The hard cider system cannot be so effectually car- ried out, because so many temperance societies have sprung into existence since then; and, like Sandy Welsh, many of the whigs have “joined.” So that there will be a great conflict between the antagonist principles of the two parties. However, they have got out their song books fot a commencement, and we here give a sample of their best songs :— Clear the Way for Harry Clay. Tune—“ Little pigs lay,” $c. What has caused this agitation, ‘Tation, tation, ourfoes betray ? It is the ball a rolling on, To clear the way for Henry Clay, ‘To clear the way for Henry Clay, For with him we can beat any mai, man, Man, of the Van Buren clan, For with him we can beat any man.

Come forth; one and all, to the battle, Determined the country to save ; And strike for the Farmer of Ashland, For Harry, the great and the brave. A leader is he who ne’er failed us, ‘So now we will give him our best ; Then shout for the friend of Home Labor, ‘The patriot, Hal ot the West. For Protection he ever has struggled— His coat you will find Qpome made : He goes dead against the starvation That comes with one-sided free trade.

Now, this bold patriotic cook, Knows all our nation’s cooking book; ‘And up to him the people look, To gain their long lost fare ; To gein our long lost fare, ‘To gain our long lost fare, To ie our long lost fare, We'll place him in the chair. These songs are not so good as those sung during the hard cider campaign. But even the songs of 1340 will not do without money. We must have money. And we must have it from a distance. We have none to spare here. The United States Bank isdead. The Baltimore Fire and Life Company, and the North American Trust Company, are both gone; there is no money inthe Southern banks; and therefore the western banks must help us. Songs willnot do without silver. Therefore, gentlemen financiers of the west, send on the specie to New York if you wish Henry Clay to be elected. Grumeines or tHe Otp Cro’ Parry.— The “Sun,” penny paper, has been in spasms for several days, in consequence of its declining circulation, its diminishing advertising, and its general bad health and approaching dissolution. Accordingly, under the advisement of Noah, it begins to vent its spite on the Herald, and to return to its old lies and its natural untruths. The aggregate daily and weekly circulation of the Sun is now reduced to 19,000—about 10,000 less than that of the Herald. This fact we know just as well as Beach does. It is also principally circulated among poor people—few real men of business. The only windfall that has saved the Sun thus far, is the post office advertising, which at our request and so- licitation, (done too from charitable purposes) Col. Graham gave it,to keep its head above water a little while longer, and to see what it could dofor Cap- tain Tyler. Since that event it has taken Noah, an old hack, roué in polities, into pay, and publishes an evening paper, containing the trash of the morn- ing paper, which it modestly sells first fora penny in the morning, and then fortwo centsin the after- noon. The only thing that saves the Sun isthe post office pap, for which it has become the mere organ of a clique of old clo’ politicians, with Noah at their head, who only use the Sun and Beach, as stepping stones to their old offices in the Custom House. Almost every day the Little Biddle has to fill his vacant co- jumns with the post office letters, or silly love sto- ries—besides selling as waste paper, large quantities of both'Union and Sun. The fact is, Beach has burst his boiler by his Ulster and Jacksonville shinplaster operations—his steamboat spec ulations—his oil spe_ culations—and he is now settling dewn an old mis- erable hack of a politician, with Noah for his fore- man, to teach him all his exploded rogueries. To vent their spleen, in fear of this destiny, Noah and Beach attempt to depreciate the Herald, and to underrate our vast and increasing circulation. These chaps may bark as muchas they please, but we shall see both out at the elbows and out of existence. Their only support now is a little Treasury pap, for which they are indebted to us, and to which they are perfectly welcome as long as they behave. But they won’t behave. Noah has killed six papers in New York, and he will kill the Sun, and close his career. Noah once conducted the “ National Advocate,” and it died. He conducted the ‘‘New York National Advocate,” and it died. He conducted the ‘New York Enquirer,” and if it had not been sold intime, it would have died also. He conducted the ‘ New York Courier and Enquirer,” and it would have died if Webb had not kicked him out of the concern. He conducted the ‘‘ Evening Star,” and it died, be- sides using up the ‘‘New York Times” by a side wind. In fact every paper that Noah has been con- nected with, has died a natural death, from want of principle, want of talent, want of industry, want of tact, want of genius. He has murdered more news- He is a perfect newspaper-killer, and he will soon be the death of the silly Sun, and its evening edition, called the Union. The Sun is setting—its circulation sinking —its advertising going —its influence nothing. Squvasu —Horace Greeley, the amiable galva- nised squash of the nineteenth, the patron of ali sorts of humbug, has at length turned a wit and humorist, and in his programme of the procession yesterday, [perpetrates the following excruciating thing :— Tue Gaeat Naroxeon of the liberal Newspapers, Squills and Itch Ointment, (blowing, of course.’ Banner—Portraits of James Gordon Bennett, LL. Smith and Capt. Tyler, the great masterspirits of the Nineteenth Century. Motto—' Take a Herald? ora Lancet ? or an Artist ?—No? ‘Then have some of my Sarsaparilla, or Life-Pills. Honorable secrecy at my College of Pharmacy. Any thing to earn 'a bawbee, you know.’ Le Jeun Editeur, ina crib, by turns sucking a bottle and Joe Motto— Great wea little wool.” So. We can easily account for these itchings, but particularly the fling at the “ young editor.”— Horace Greeley has been four years in the traces, but has no young editor yet, not even a young squash to put in a crib. He has been try- ing all the virtues of brown bread, cold wa- ter, but still no young editor squalls or sucks a bottle. Perhaps if he would take abottle of that itch oint- ment, or sarsaparilla, or life pills, he might succeed in getting a young squash at most. As tothe motto, we have no objection. According to all accounts, the motto at the breakfast table of the Graham House in Barclay street, where Horace vegetates, is “ Little cry and plenty of wool.” Deatu or Mrs. Tyter.—We deeply regret to hear that this amiable lady, wife of the President of the United States, expired at the White House, on Saturday evening, after a protracted illness. Her remains will leave Washington on Tuesday, for interment at the family mansion in Virginia. Upon the annunciatien of this melancholy event at the immense meeting in the Park yesterday, it cast a gloom over the whole assembly, which was imme- diately adjourned, in testimony of respect for their Chief Magistrate. Tue Asupurton Dixner.—We find the following in the ‘‘Montreal Commercial Messenger.” It shows that even foreigners entertain more respect for the Chief Magistrate of this country than some who claim to be native born :— “* Previous to his departure from New York, Lord Ashburton was feasted by a couple of hundred of the citizens, who vied with each other in their demon- strations of respect to the empire. They had the very bad taste, however, to show a glaring mark of disrespect to their own Chief Magistrate,at the drink- ing of whose health none rose from their seats, while aif chested when the health of Queen Victoria was proposed. Lord Ashburton and the British officers present, when the Presidential toast was given, rose to cheer, but seeing themselves alone, they immedi- ately resumed their seats. The circumstance could scarcely fail to make the guests very uncomfortable during the evening. Two Days Later rrom Havana.—Capt. Reming- ton arrived at Philadelphia, on Sunday evening, in the Elizabeth, bringing papers to the 29th ult. The market was dull for American produce.

Suffice it to say that we were agreeably dis- appointed. we ever witnessed in this or any other city. There were, at least, 4000 persons in the procession, which at one time was two miles long. All was orderly, quiet, respectable and dignified, and all passed offin the most harmonious manner. The crowd of spectators was se great—over 10,000 —that the procession could not form in the Park. It left in detatchments and formed in Chatham Square and street. The National Banner was at the head. Then a band of music ; two fine military compa- nies; an omnibus, drawn by ten herses, whand, with a flag of the names of all he Presidents. Then a banner, inseribed— eoooeo coco ODO ODOC OOO COOLS An Ivsutt To THE PRESIDENT, Is an InsuLT To THE NATION. PeLeooecoooD OO OSODODOOONNS Then came the Nation, represented by twenty-six carriages, each drawn by white horses, and each containing four ladies and a little boy ; there was a flag on each carriage with the name of the State, | and each boy held a flag called the ‘Rejected Toast.’ The ladies were, most of them, very handsome, and young, and were all blood relations, wives, daught- ers, &c , of the gentlemen composing the Commit- tee. It wasa new feature—a beautiful sight, and no mistake. Each carriage had an escort of two gentlemen on white horses. This arrangement of ladies was to show the harmony, beauty and simpli- city of our form of government. After them came the fire companies, two more military companies, the Spartan Band, with a beau- tiful banner, all looking remarkably well. Then several private carriages, led by postmaster Gra- ham ina carriage. Then some hundreds on horse- back, and several on foot, although the day was hot. We were agreeably disappointed. The whole thing was admirably arranged. We do not approve of ladies in processions, but this was most capitally managed and told well. After a long tour through the city, the procession retured to the Park, where 10,000 people were as- sembled, and hundreds of well dreased ladies. Da- niel Jackson, Esq. was appointed Chairman, and se- veral Vice Presidents. Mr. Locke read an address. The following resolutions were then read and pass- ed, amid loud cheering, and 26 cheers for John Tyler, President of the United States:— Resolved, That certain occurrences at the Treaty Ban- quit given to Lord Ashburton, the Special Envoy and M. ister Plenipotentiary of Great Britain, at the Astor House, in the City of New York, on the 2d of September, 1542, were of a character and importance that should arrest the attention of the whole American people, and call forth a universal expression of indignation. Fi Resolved, That when, on that occasion, the American national toast, “The President of the United States,” was received with contemptuous silence, broken only by deri- sive laughter, or other expressions of disrespect, while the British national toast, “ The Queen of Great Britai drank with exultation and reiterated chee: was offered to the Chief Magistrate of our vou ernment, which we are bound, as Americans and Repub- licans, to repel, in justice at once to him, to ourselves, to to our government, and to our country. Resolved, That all who actively participated in the in- fliction of that insult, are by that act personally disgraced, rendered unworthy of the American name, and deserving of public execration. ‘olved, That all who passively participated in the in- fliction of that insult, by not protesting against it, or other. wise repelling it, are guilty of a gross dereliction of duty s American citizens. Resolved, ‘That it was the duty of every good citizen who was present when that insult was given, either to protest against it, tothe person presiding on the occasion, orto leave the scene of so gross an outrage. Resolved, That in this last dastardly aitack upon the President, w: the progres of a systematic attempt on the partof his malignant opponents, and prosecuted through two successive sessions of Congress, to destroy the Ex- ecutive department of the government, and to bring it un- ier the control of a faction, fatal to the liberty of the peo- ple. Resolved, That we will sustain the Executive depart- ment, whosoever may administer it, and will preserve i inviolate, with every other wise provision in our glorious constitution, for the benefit of future generations. Resolved,’ That we solemnly deny that proc the Treaty Dinner given to Lord Ashburton, at the House, on the 2d inst., in the name of the “ merchants and citizens of New York,” meet with the approbation of our citizens, except 80 far as they may be deemed justly com: Irmentary to the distinguished representative of the Brit- sh nation and the American Secretary of State, for so eoecooole eccocecoc® 3 at happily contributing their aid to heal the rankling differ ences between two nations of kindred origin, language and population. Resolved, That we solemnly protest to Great Britain, France and all other nations, the insults offered to our Pre- sident on that occasion, are not approved by the people of the United States, but excite and will continue to call forth their utmost indignation ; that they were the acts of the internal enemies of our form of government and repu- lican freedom ; whose opinions, objects and policy, we verily'believe to be identical with those of the old Federrl party and its political descendants, who sneered at our country’s victories, ridiculed its valor and treacherously hoisted blue lights to conduct the ships of the enemy into our harbors, to lay waste our cities and pillage our citizens. Resolved, That a correct description of the proceedings of the citizens of New York this day, in their procession, and this concluding public meeting, be published in the London Times and Parie Constitutionel, as well as in sev- eral journals of this city and Washington. Resolved, That we solemnly protest against the omis- sion of the name of the President of the United States, at that dinner, as the American contracting party to the Treaty of Washington ; the President and Senate being the only authorities to national treaties known to the Con- stitution ; and we consider this omission the more invidi- ous and disgraceful, because it is well known that Presi dent Tyler exercised great sagacity, ability and indefa gable energy, in the progress and’ modification of thi posed] from its commencement to its gratifying consum- mation. At the moment of the termination of the regular proceedings, the melancholy tidings of the death of the lady of President Tyler was announced to the meeting, and was received by the immense mass in perfect silence, and with that becoming respect due the announcement of such an afflicting Providential dispensation, and, therefore, the meeting immedi- adjourned, which deprived several distinguished or- ators from addressing the multitude. Commissary General Henry Storms fired a Presi- dential salute of twenty-six guns at the Arsenal, at sun-down, with a brass piece taken by Commodore Decatur at Tripoli. A Srraxcer tx Town.—The influx of strangers here during the last few weeks has been very great; not only from Europe and the most celebrated parts of this country,but we have lately had a distinguish- ed arrival from the Croton Dam. One of the leather factories in Ferry street yesterday finding their wa- ter stopped applied to the Commissioners; one of the latter made an excavation where the main con- nects with the house pipe, and in the cock they found an eel three feet long, that had travelled all the way from the Croton Dam. This must be seen to. If we pay for water, don’t give us eels into the bargain. What next shall we find in the Croton water or in the cocks connected with it. (g- Tu Prize Ficut between Cris Lilly and Tom McCoy, comes off this day. Several thousand dollars are staked upon the result, and thousands will be there to see the “ mill.”? A full report to- morrow. From Canapa.—Governor’s Mrssace.—The Ca- nadian Parliament met at Kingston, ou the 7th inst. Sir Charles Bagot has sent’ in his massage, from which we extract the two following extracts, being all that is of the least interest to this country :— “*T rejoice that I am able to acquaint you that a treaty between Great Britain and the United States, has been signed on the part of Her Majesty, and since ratified by the Federal Senate, by which the Important questions affecting this province ; and the United States have been adjusted. From this hap- py settlement, the ratification of which by Her Ma- Jesty I hope soon to be able to announce to you, I augur the most favorable consequences to the pro- vince in the maintenance of peace, the restoration of confidence, and the devotion oi (ie undivided ener- gies of its inhabitants to the internal advancement, and the developemest of the vast resources of the country. “These have been among Her Majesty’s chief ob- jects in the negociation of this treaty; and I am commanded by the Queen to state to you that no wish is nearer to her Majesty’s heart than that, under her rule and protection of her Crown, all her faith- ful subjects in Canada, may rest in unindisturbed pesos may feel themselves to be one people with their fellow subjects in the British islan is; and may increase in wealth, prosperity and contentment, founded on the possession and rational enjoyment of a tree and essentially British constitution.” Tt was one of the most interesting sights | BY THE SOUTHERN MAIL. ~~ Baltimore, [Correspondence of the Herald. Baurmore, Sept. 12, 1842. Mr. Epiror :— At the ushering in of this ever memorable day— glorious in the annals of the American history— there was sent up from the mouths of those war gods belonging to the Junior Artillerists a gladsome welcome, which seemed to make old nature trem ble. Thisday twenty-eight years ago our fathers were in arms to defend their home from the invasion of a foreign foe, and now, at this very moment, a remnant of them are in Monument Square, preparing to commemorate the victory given by the God of Battles and chastened by the soldier's blood. Flags: are flying in every direction, drumsare already beat. ing, and the military are preparing for parade. Our city exhibits a more inspirating and lovely aspéct than ithas for many months. A large number of strangers have come in, attracted by the anniverea- ry celebration, as the Democratic State Con- vention being held for the purpose of maturing plans, &c. e: ‘e In consulting with a gentleman trom Washington yerienien one who is well acquainted with cabinet secrets, learned that in all probability the resigna- tions of Messrs. Forward and Spencer would be forthcoming the present week. Daniel does not purpose giving up his place just at present ; he wants a little more time for consideration. The Hon. Thomas Marshall, of Kentucky, made a temperance speech in the Square, on Saturday evening, to an immense concourse of ladies and gentlemen. He was eloquent, truly so. It was one of the most sensible discourses upon the subject that 1 ever listened to. All that sickening stupidity which characterizes so many of the temperance addresses, was left out. He spc Ke about an hour, during which time hardly an individaal left the ground. He is unquestionably a great man—great above all things in independenee of character. A man named Robert Perry, aged about 30, fell from the deck of the steamboat Columbia into the hold, on Saturday night last, and broke his neck. He had acted in the capacity of watchman. The Front street theatre, under the management of Mr. Willard, has opened with one of the best companies we have had in Baltimore tor many years. I am glad to see that our favorite Miss Lee, the ex- quisite danseuse, is engaged. She has improved much, both in dancing and appearance. Her favor- ites in Baltimore, as in other cities, are numerous. She is a pet. i A variety of balls and amusements are advertised for to-night. We have a complete mixture of paity and patriotism, together with a most beautiful and favorable day. Yours, Roperick. Philadelphia. (Correspondence of the Herald.) Puivape rua, Sept. 12, 1842. The Insand the Outs at the Custom House—Firemen’s Riot— Arrival of Emigrants, §c. This morning Thomas S. Smith, Esq., President of the Common Council of the city,and late a mem- ber of the Legislature, was duly qualified in office as Collector of the Port, in the place of Jonathan Roberts removed. This is the first gun at Henry Clay from the Executive encampment, and has al- readv done serious havoc in the ranks of the Clay forces. Eight or ten were found‘headless last night, and before the ball loses itsforce I have no doubt three or four times the number will be found in the same decapitated condition. The turned gentlemen will meet with little sympathy, they having without cause so recently taken the places of men equally if not more competent than themselves. It is but _re- turning the poisoned chalice to their own lips. Mr. S. is an active, intelligent man, and I have no doubt will make an efficient officer.

Another member of the same com- pany, named Thomas Kniye, was arrested by the watchman, but afterwards released on bail. ‘The bark Philada arrived at this port yesterda’ morning, with 168 passengers! This number is made up of families, old and young, who are on their way almost all of them, to the far west. The most of them have brought money enough with them to buy as much land as they can till, and all of them have hale and hearty constitutions, and a will to work. Their money adds to the nation’s wealth; bui their industry more. Such emigrants are ever welcome to our shores. The bark, we noticed, was injured in her main mast,whether from the effects of a gale, or otherwise, I could not learn. This is an excessively hot day.

New Cotton—-Banks—Duel—Reli gion—-Mextco— Yellow Fever. Sir :— We have had another dull week, ending our com- mercial year on Ist September instead of Ist Oct., as was formerly the custom. Commercial operations since my last, has been of no account. New cotton 1s arriving every day—2500 bales have been received this season—about 1500 sold at 7 to9jc Few buy- ersin market.

Bank notes generally have improved. Citizens’ flat at40 to 45 per cent dis. This Bank was sued by the Attorney General for the forfeiture of its charter, but when the trial came on, two days since, it was found some informality existed in the proceedings and he hastocommence anew. The Commissiaa- ers of the Atchafalaya are about commencing suit against the President, Cashier and all the Directors who have been in office at any time the last four years, for mal-administration of its aflairs. It is said the Secretary of State has written, on the part of the Government, to the teller at Havana, that he may return and give evidence in the suit, and he shall not be molested. Some new developments will be made when this trial is had, of the singular manner in fwhich banking business hasbeen con- ducted in this city. a The Consolidated Bank has come within the re- quisition of the law, by obtaining specie. She has improved her condition very much in the last three months. : Mr. ity of the Advertiser, who was shot last Sunday ina duel, is likely to recover. The intend- ed duel last Monday did not take place, the parties having been bound over to keep the peace. Iregret to say the controversy between Bishop Blanc and the wardens of the church of St. Louis yet rages with unabated violence. The French papers are fi led with accounts of sessions, resolu- tions, bog iletters, and quotations of canon laws, &e. gra:td ‘canvocation of the clergy has been had here to advise with the bishop, who insists, i his last pastoral letters, on the appointment of Mr. Ronselin as curé, but is willing to refer the matter to his Holiness at Rome for his ultimate decision. An election of churchwardens for the ensuing year is to take place to-morrow, and a great excitement exists about it. It1s to be hoped the new wardens may meet the views of the bishop, and refer the matter to the Pope for his decision, and thus put an end to th nha y diffieulty. Late arrivals fron Mexico represent that Santa Anna was sed formidable preparations to invade Texas by sea. One of his new steamers had ar- rived from England; he had a large body of troops, and transports ready to convey them. the steamer Merchant arrived from Galveston yesterday, but brings no news : The yellow fever is now considered as epidemic here, but it is of a very mild type, and yields readily to treatment, and excites no alarm, even among what are called the unacclimated ‘persons. new cases are 15to 20 daily, while the deaths are but two or three, and we have reason for ex- pecting to escape the scenes of and 1841.

Advices from New Orleans give rumors from that city detrimental to mercantile credit in that quarter. Dates from Yucatan to the 17th ult., via New Orleans, bring the following decree opening the ports for the im- portation of corn free of duty :— Article Ist—It is permitted to import corn free of duty. Article 24—With every one hundred loads (cargas) im- ported, it is allowed to bring ten barrels of flour free of duty. Article 31—The privilege granted in the preceding two articles, will extend only to the 81st December next. We yesterday made some remarks on the great change which is going on in the currency of the Union, and con- sequently in the manner of doing, business. In this city the receipts of produce from the interior are on the increase, and prices show a corresponding inclination to give way in the article af flour particulasly. ‘This great abundanee of produce, and the falling ‘prices, has been a powerful cause in changing the old mode of accepting. Very few of the houses now doing business in this city accept drafts uatil the produce is actually in hand. The substen- tial owners and shippers in the western part of the State, do not draw until they receive an account of sales. The amount of accep’ances by city houses against produce to come forward, bears avery small proportion to what was: formerly the case, and those are mostly by the old houses. which have become involved jn it, and are obliged to feed their old correspondents, The present cash system saves expense, and is safer and more profitable to all parties. Where the houses come under acceptance for produce in hand, it is generally for about three fourths of the market price, thus leaving themselves amply covered to meet all contingencies. These acceptances constitute the best class of paper for the western banks, but the amount is not large, and is dsscounted with caution. They have not yetreached their minimum, notwithstanding that many farmers are disposed to hold over their wheat and then di minish next year’s crop. We believe few or none of the dealers calculate upon a higher average than $4.50 per barrel for flour during the ensuing winter in the New York market, and probably throughout the Union it will not average $3.75, and without a foreign demand will go much lower. ‘The effect of the new tariff of duties will be in a de- gree, by excluding foreign goods that might come here in exchange for produce, to diminish the foreign market, and by retaining the surplus at home, sink the value of the ' whole crop to a fearful extent. In 1840, 600,000 barrels of flour were seat to England, in exchange for iron and cloths, or rather iron and cloths were sent here, aad the flour taken in payment and carried back. The withdraw- al of that 600,000 barrels from this market, caused the crop of 1841 to average $1.50 per barrel higher, or $6 per barrel instead of $4.50, as in 1840. The whole crop of wheat was, according to the estimates of the department, based on the census of the former year, 90,000,000 bushels, equal to 18,000,000 barrels of flour. The value of this was im” proved $1.50 per barrel, making $27,000,000 put into the pockets of the farmers, by sending $2,700,000 worth out of the market. If that 600,000 barrels had been destroyed entirely, there would have been an agricultural gain of $24,300,000. ‘This illustrates the principle on which the old Dutch East India Company were wont to burn up the surplus stock of spices in order to enhance the value of the remainder. Instead of destroying that flour, however, $3,000,000 worth of cloth and iron was got in exchange for it. ‘That method of disposing of the surplus is now checked greatly by the tariff,and the farmers are called upon to pay higher prices for all the iron they use, and the clothes they wear. The manulacturers have promised the farmers that if the tarift was imposed, they would buy more flour and pork at better prises. Le: us ses what chance there is of such an event. Abbott Lawrence, Esq., is proprietor of a factory at Lowell, which employs 1,290 females, average wages, $2 per week—and 200 males, average wages $440 week. They manufacture 210,000 yards of cotton cloth per week. The supposition is, that Mr. Abbott Lawrence and all those in his employ, have had enough to eat here- tofore ; that none of them have gone hungry for want of bread and for want of pork ; and that their powers of con- sumption of those articles, have been at their maximum. Mr. Lawrence has been very active in procuring the pre- sent tarifl, which operates upon cotton goods, as seen in the following table of the quantity, value and average cos per yard of prints not exceeding 35 cents per yard, and white cotton not over 30 cents per yard, imported forgix years, from official documents :— Imronts oF Corto Goovs into tHe Unitgp States.

In 1835, therefore, the duty was 40 per cent, and owing to the reduced foreign cost, it will be,under the new tarift,100 per cent on white goods, in 1835; the duty was 31 per cent, and will now be60 per cent. As- suming that the average cost of the goods manufactured by Mr. Lawrence is 12 cts. per yard, the weekly value is $26,500. By the tariff, this value is raised 30 per cent— $7,950—equal, at present rates, to 1,760 bbls, of flour. Now will M.. Lawrence and the 1,490 people in his employ, cat an ad-tional 1} bbls. of flour per week each, because the farmers, through the interposition of the Government, are, obliged to pay them 30 per cent more for their work 7 if they do not eat more bread, in order to reduce the supply, will they voluntarily give $2 per bbl. above the market price, for what they do eat? It is impossible that the far. mers will allow themselves to be cajoled with such a pretence. ‘The fact is, that in this country the shipping, commer: cial and agricultural interests are identical. The {armers | aud planters produce more than the inhabitants of the United States can consume ; and they must, from the yory
