Ten, tLrs is a drawback upon the Cal p goius oft -phh nidactive industry; .but it s Necessary. to carry Penasylvania into the Oupport ofa system by which Massachu sett expects to be indemnified in increas ed prices upon some of her leading pro ductions in other manufactures. Take any siagle article-say a yard of woollen clout -upon which she wants a specifi duly, 1o as to enable her to sell it in @he hone exarket at an enhanced price. The grow er of wool most also have his protection, i by a tax upon the raw material, to prevent! ius imprtation at a low price; and soit is iWitsi every other element of which this! of ' oolen cloth is finally composed. iron, of which all the labor-saving achinery is made, is taxed; under this ystem of protection extended, every thing that the laborer consumes is enhanced in I price; and, with this, add artificial expan- i sion, and die whole result is, that the cost i of production in the yard of woollens is so i increased that there are no permanent pro- i fits, finally, to the capital invested. I This, then, produces an eternal demand a * for increased restriction and prohibition. I No.sir! she true protection to domestic t labor and steady profits upon capital, is 3 fixed and stable legislation, writh a rled I and stable curreney. Fix your general tax- i es low, and your expeaditures low; and, d above all, let us have a gold and silver cur- c rency, and this country will rise more %i- r irous and elastic from her present faIl. j There is nothing more important thau cer tain and fixed legislation. Only let your C laws be equal, certain, and stable. and she t enterprise and industry of this free coun- c try will adapt themselves to whatever you c enay do, and rise superior to all ditficultics. ii 'What the business men and property of a this great country want at present. more n than anything else, is certainty and stabil- C ity in your legislation. Let your currency i be the true measure of value, abroad as o , well as at home. The greatest of all bles. 3 sings to labor and to property. is to have a el currency certain and fixed, beyond the e' ;owr of government, through any slwpe or o fora, to tamper teith or alter. this is the - true and permanent protcetion to produc- 1C tive labor, in every part of the enufedera- rt cy. But high restriction. with expansion ti of credits, prices, and circulation, will he a pruductive of sad disappointments aud dis- le aster to all who rely upon them. o Now, sir, as to the argument that a high la tariff is necessary to preserve onr specie in In the country. and to iusport it, I have shown te that, if it were true, it would derange trade, tri and finally the legitimate distribution of se wealth. The following table of the export, tio a-id imports of specie will show, fron I29 at to IS32, inslusive, (which was the period as of highest restrictiou,) that the imports cx- ca ceeded the exports only $6,99@.761; and pot that, daring the free-trade period of nire at years, from 1833 to 1841, inclusive, the 61 tinports exceeded tie exports forty-nine sii ssiUionof dollar : =. rts and E ots of Sprcie. ot Year.

You pleo ty. by high taxation cut otT a certain and brqueh of trade, arnd thereby deranigo dc- Iconi tasud and supply; and that may againt the affe-ct 3Suor exchanges, ws hich would to sy y acertia extcut. act upon thme export anid latn import of specie in its final adjusttnent.- rs But gentlee mights suppose that if re- Jglac stricmiions or high tariffs could prevent .g the expoeraation oif specie, it could lie dotte 6a 31 in Eulanmd. The tariff is certainly hig enoogh there. And, yea. what! have ne CA seen within the last few years!? Take T1' the ye-ar 'if 1838 and part of 183'J. The 'De Bank of England had always acted upots give the idea that exchanges were the test of reni ste currency of a country. And whent Aug. exchanges were against them, they esnsid- te-nde ered the currency and cirenilaiou were ex- Cla3 panded; and when the7 were at par, or cared an favor of themn. that tien there was con- attd traction. To control this, they would raise Calfi or sink the priee of interest, so as to affect ..'J discounts and esreulation, Now exchtanges ing pi might be a true test of the level of curron- tack cy, if all nauions lhad precisely the same the a pesrmanent tariffs, and if they always had :ncar ineariably the same annual amount of The products. But this again depends upon -wor the seasons themselves, which must al- Mr. ways lbe the same also. A change in thme tency productions of a country, and of its tarif, hitica will produce a change in the state of its mnutil foreign' trade; and must consequently af- sides feet the state of exchanges, to a great ex- a mro tenat, independent of local currency. Jo virtua 1828, excbanges set steadily against En- distin gland, troawithstanding the bank had a full occns sseply of bullion on hand, and the circula- stern darn was moderate. Ia January of that and year, it had ?8,895,000, which bad been lash c coosidered ?1,000,000 more than was ne- falsifi casry for a sound state of the currency. lipic a But fromt the prevalence of wet weather, in onc it was supposed that the crop of grain vaseil would fail; and the consequence was, in for thb August, 1828, exchanges rose against En- on the gad. -Otn the 8th Jana , 839, the theiri ballion in her bank was ?9.3 ,l000, which compa was ?441,000 more than the year before; tiorn i and yea exchanges ran so steadily against selves the bank, that un the 2d April, 1S3, she his art steek of balliona bad diminished to ?7,073 in his 000. A drainahad been made in a few the rai .eonof42,263,000 to mseet exchange,,. ennlin are of the home crop. large impornations of-grain-had beeb made from the~Bablic. It was from this state of things, and not rm a small stock of bullion, or large cir :ulation. that exchanges ran so steaedy a ;ainst England. The demand for gold :ontinued in the face of the fact, that the firectors of the bank raised the price of in erest to 5 per cent.; and on the 20th June, 1S39, they advanced it to 5J per cent.; ind on the 1st August it was fixed at the unprecedented rate of 6 per cent. Stil he draine for specie continued, and they xvere compelled to obtain,?2,000,000 from he Bank of France. Now I have taken his operation upon tie exportaion and i'mm portation of specie from a country full of restrictions and high tariffs. And I am -ompelled to believe that the loctrine ofa ligh tariff being nccessary to prevent the txportation of our sFpecic, is a mere ig morant assumption. The truth i6, that ill depends upon the state of trade ; and hat, again, is regulated by the invaria Plc rule of demand and supply. It is one if the inost beautiful and philosophical aws of gold and silver, that they will fimd heir level. Press them where you will, ret like water, they will rise to a corn mion surface. Your umwise and pragmat :al legislation imay produce a temporary epresson at some point; but its %% hole M'ect is to derange trade, and the law of laural demand and supply, and thus eat istly to disturb time disribumion of wealth.

Mr. EvIToa.-I was somewhat surpried t find in your last paper a call, over the signature of " Old Edgefield," upon Col. Burt, of Abbe. Ville, to come forward as.s candidateo ?i1 the situation in Congress, at present otelpWe by the lion. F. W. Pickens, whom, I have jug understood, has'declined a re-election. I asd whilst up the county, perceived a call Me& upon the same gentleman, by some of the ii zrns of Abbeville.publislaed in the Mountainen. to wvhicb I paid but little attention, as I thought it but right that every district should nomiaaru one (of their own citizens af they deemed it ez pedient so to do,. for any oDice within theirgib but now finding him called upon as a eanag&e to represent Edgefield district alsu, I am at a loss to know what the meaning of it is. We are certainly all acquainted with the situation in which our State is placed, and that at pM. sent there is not any Congressional distiacts laid off, agreable to the new census, and that calling upon a citizen to come forward to n . stit a dist ict, of which he is not a resident is rat.er premature, without the party caling np. on the gentleman, have the power (wbigh pa. haps they think they will have) in the neat A go'lature, to Gerry ander the State, to s their own purposes. This case brings to my mind an anecdote. which was some time Mice related tome by a friend, who waswehlaequaMi. ed wath the paries concerned. One of our lat Represent.tives to Congress, (now deceseed) whilst cin an electioneering tour thngh hi. destrict. which bordered on the Stars olNerth Carsolina, by mistake crossed the liuenad *l ited the dwelling of a fareu, for he *-. of soliciting his vote and i ; ( was from home. but the farmer's wife wasat the time of his arrival, in the cow pen ailking, 14) which place the candidate vended his way. Atier parkmng the compliments of the day. d&e farmer's wife not knowing thestrangersbusiness and being one of those plain spoken North Crrolina women, asked him to bold o'a &ron. blesote calf, whilst she milked; thaindidte very politely complied with her reqnK, and whilst in the act of holding the caf a fiend of his. w ho happened to be passing, s"opped and enquired of the candidate what he was dufag there. to which the candidate answered, hewas holding od'the calf whilst his coatimu.-. wife was milking His friend immediately infip. ad him of his being out ofhis range, uponw the candidate, without much eessony lull esif ruas. dge6eld an Abbvele wil come a Congressmionaf district, which sheld it nole Ihe case, --Old Edgeileld" will Bud hise in as a bad a dilemma as the worthy repreesia Li-e w heinhe strayed into North Carolina- to ook for supporters. I have no objection to Old Edgelleld's" nomninating as many can'di ites a'. he d--ems czpedient, but hope he will -onfine himoself' to our own range,, as every dis r ict n the State hasa righitto nominate whomn tey paleaie, and every pernou nominated has he right of electioneering in whatever district ie may think wll arm part of te Congrssion at district wiaich ho may be anxions to regre Upon redlection, Mr. Editor, I thaink we are IIiu tufrward in nominating candidates for' >ttice, until we know who they are to represent, a it maiy possibly have some influence in the tymng off of thc distric ts, and thereby create 'sid feehalg iowards those who may be our neat aemibers ot' the IA'giskature. whose daty it will e to lby the distrsis off'. It will be said by amei, nio doubt, who would be dissatisfied, let me riesult be as itniay, that the State had been errymnandered for political purposes, if their andidatesa are defeated. I lor one, think, there re. as there is time enough, that no momina ans ought to be made until the districts are d off, when the candidates could safely yen re upon an electioneering tour, without the ar ofhoilding ol the wrong calf. I .>erccive you have, at the request of a tamber of the ciaizens of this district, named ol. Whitficid Brookes, as a gentleman well ainlied to fill the situation about to be vacat .although I as very sorry to lose our pre nt able sad efficient member, I know of no aizen in our district to whom I would sooner ust its concerias; that be haa talents of the at order none will deny, and that he ha is s.try to use those talents, all who know him e satisfied ; and shouuld it be oar good fortune elect the Rtepr'eseniative from among the izenis 'of nur own district, I know of none, der nll circumstainces. more capable of tread in the footsteps of onr present -orthy Re ae,.tiame thanl tot.
