as to the amount of their government
expenses ; and that no man can be held a
five man, wlio does not look the cost of his
hbertius in the face.
Resoi'vcd. Therefore, that Direa Tuxa
tion, while it saves the ci'izens from the
constant impositions of the cunning, is the
only honest, cheap, safe medium for raising
supplies, in a country such as ours.

IMPORTANT SILK MEETING. (
A speci.il meeting of tho Philadelphia ,
Coun'y Silk S' citi y, convened m the hall (
at'the Franklin Inst tute, Philadelphht. on ,
Tmirsday afternoon, '24ii Octob< r. From j
llic very brief and imperfect no ice given ot t
the meeting, only n sinul] a'tendadce was ;
calculated on ; but tho intelligent substunt- t
ml gentlemen, not connected with the socie- ,
'y, wlto mainly eonsti'uied .he numerous nu- .
di'Ticc on the occasion, was not only agree- ]
ably surprising, hut, from the subsequoi t ,
proceedings, afforded n sinking evidence of \
the nb-orbing inter s: that perva Ins tno ,
community in relation to the c 'tivu ion nntl |
rn inula-, turn of silk. A tiutnher o! ladi s .
were aUo prcsont, 'vho, from lie utt-'ntioii j
paid to tiic proceedings and the surpr s> ex
pressed at ihe beautiful samples of American
manufac tired silks exhibited on tiic occasion,
s towed how deep an int-rest they
ielt in tlie success of n business which j
must essentially ameliorate the condition of j |
a Cuitnin etas* r?f /><?... ? .
After the meeting was organ z-d and the j
minutes of the,proceeriny*??ne were r?uid uud ,
adopter!,- the fellow gentleman were a Imil i
ted members of the society ; Joseph Rpka, <
George W. As!?, John W.lbank, Or D. I*. i
GcbhurJ, tl ram A y res Benjamin M. i 1 in- i
i ll nan and Thomas Kstleek. (
Oit request Mr. Wclbank, of Philadelphia,
went into a bri-f history of his ex ,
perienee in he manufacture of silk floods. t
and at the same time exhibited beautiful spe. ;
cimens of sewing s Ik of every quality and
colour; handkerchiefs of many different pnt- ,
terns ; hose, g oves, Are. Ate. Mr. \V. s:a_ |
ted that the sewing s lk was principally man- <
ufactured from American raw silk, and die i
other articles fro.n the imported, simply he- ,
cause it was impossible to obtain the ueces- i
sary supply yet from our own raising ; that t
ho greatly preferred our own article to <
the imported, on accounts of its superior t
strength and lustre, t-.o great case with i
which it is made up, and the Ir.fl ng waste s
in its manufacture. For thi?#o advaut ig?-h t
he paid an advance of fifty cents in the! jj
pojnd for ilia American over the imported u
article. flu also stated a very important ?
fact, which wns, that they could entirely dis- ii
[>ense with the opera-ion of reeling, and tiiut u
sonsequently nn increased value would he S|
jiven to the cocoons, as by this*discovcry ,1
i considerable expense was avoided. Mr. u
W. a'so spoke of the injurious policv oftlicl
general government, in discriminating in the b
Juty on manufactured and raw bilk, and ir
loped that measures would be taken to re- <r
nedy the evil. (Jc concluded by saying tli
hat he should be happy to have his m inu- to
laciory visited by the public, and gave u C
general invitation to thut effect. is
, Mr. <Jill, of Mount Pleasant, Ohio, beina m
called on, exhibited n i umber of splei.Jid a
nmples of silk goods, now in tho cnur** t'u
?f mnniif icture in his establishment, all from o(
uw silk of his own raising, among which cc
were beautiful figured satins, ribands, belts, te
idviits, Sac. Mr. (?ill stated, that although 3l
u*only commcsced operations a few months sn
incc, and bis machinery was made by tho pr
rdinary mechanics of the neighbourhood,
ut he wns prepared to manufacture any
rticle of lilk made any where in any couii_
y, and could uflbrd them at prices ro c'omutewith
the imported article, notw ithstuning
they aro now admitted free of duty.
Ir. G. led h s worms I roin u I most every
arioty of the mulberry tree, and although
is inorus mullicuuhs wns only of this suajn's
growth, yet he gave it hisducididand
nqunlitied preference over all others, lie
irther stated, mat notwithstanding the ex u
arr.ounl of expenditure ho was at the precot
season, yet, after allowing most Itberlly
for every thing, he could have cleared,
ad he sold his cocoons at three dollars u
ushel, (tlvy now readily bring live,) more
Ittin ?.">() for every acre o! trees ; and lie
irmly believed, that Willi proper care and
udustry, dmi'/fe that amount could he made
ter acre on cocoons alone.
Mr. M'C.irty, of Philadelphia, dso exhibied
to thesoc'ety some of the most splendid j
uimples of ?dik goods, manufi-ciured at !?< - i
inomy, in Benver county, Pennsylvania,
iud winch had j is< been forwarded to him, j
that perhaps were ever Seen in this country,
not excepting any of the impor d. Tory
embraced satins, velvets, ribu ids, Ace. Am.,
of various quail ies undpaterus, all mad-from
cocoons of :h?-i? own p oduction, prut
cipaily Iroin the foliage of the imm is mu! icnnlis.
Tiiey alTiirded a surprising evid
once of the great progrt ss this i d'aut busi.
ncss has already made iu the country.
Mr. Grorg- W. Ash, of Philadelphia,
likewise e.\t? bilod some unusually fine spernens
ol silk reded in Ins fun ly, the pro

So "iety a beautiful pair of stockings, made

regard to foreign bodies being forced nibble

thai the method taken to remove (hern is
generally unsuiteu to the end. The eyelids
are first rubbed w ith the hand, wh o.'i
always pro luces unpleasant sensation*, un !
not unfrequently infl ?ma ion, there being
danger of forcing the offending s distance
