artificially the price of all products, so tha( though all were dear, yet the same quan tity of each commanded in exchange as tmuch as any ~other, as if .all were alike cheap (for equal protection practically ap plied.could only mean this;)-were this for anyfanciful purpose ever so dezirable, it must be obvious that in this country it is no louger possible. By what process could we raise the price of our cottons, our woollens, Our hardware, and the numner 003 articles of mnnufaci tures which consti tute our exports ? They must be sold it -ireign markets at the same prices as the goods coming into our competntiiou with them from all other sources. The same articles will command only the same prices for home use, that they do for exportation, and this price must there fore be the lowest natural price determined by the open competition of the world. La*s made to protect such articles must alvays be a mere dead letter. To prohib it the importation of an article which we produce in excess, which excess is disposed of in open cottipetition with the whole world, can never by any possibility raise the price of that article at home. It is beyond the power of the law to protect such interests. But on the other hand the law is all powerful to protect aud to raise the price of those commodities which we produce in deficiency,-of which we are obliged to import some portion to make up the quantity required. Whatever duty is placed on the article imported must ena ble'the producer at home to command a price as much higher than the producers of that article abroad as the duty amounts to. Protection, therefore, though avow edly extended to all alike, would land us in this dilemma-those classes who pro - duce such articles as we export in change for the luxuries, or the necessaries, or t he raw materials. which we receive from for eign countries, would obtain from the rest of the community at home only the same price that they received abroad in the open markets, while they would have in pay to the producers of articles of which we are deficient, an enhanced price equal to the-duty imposed on the quantity imported. Thusthe various producers ofhardware, cottous, and woolens in Sheffield, Man chester, and Leeds, receive from the far mers and landlords only the-same prices that they do fron their cust-omdrs i. the United States or Germtiny ; but they have to pay to the farmers and landlords a price for their produce as much higher as the effective duty which is placed on the pro duce of the fartmer of foreign courtries. It must be quite clear, therefore, that if equality be honestly intended. to all the va.ied interests of the community, it can cannot be accomdlished by protettion; it cannot be accomplished by anty attempt to elevate prices generally to an artificial standard ; but it can be jdone, and can only he done, by allowing all alike to remain at the natural rate determined, by that free competition to which a large porion must be exposea, and therefore to which all should be equally exposed. Tha tjust equality of interest which the principle of Protection cannot accomplish, Free 'Trade alone can accomplish. - Meeting of the Democratic Party in N.

Our Charges d'Affaires and CounstIjs are too frequontly selected for the enjoy ment of the place, rather than for any particular talent to represent our country abroad. As far as talent goes, some of them possess it, in an eminent degree, but few, however, ex.-rcise their functions with reference to the great interests at home. Rencher. at Lishon. enjoys.jhe climate, and in the style of a Southern planter, di vides in easy stages the necessities of the day's existence. The Tagus i-s a benuti ful river, at the mouth of which is the city of Lisbon, once truly the capitol of an in dependeut government, but now in fact but a British out-post, whose commerce is en tirely controlled by British policy. Mr. R. has endeavored to have the boun'es and other advantages in favor of England, so accommodated as to permit American bot toms to enjoy similar privileges, in order that the wines, stilt and wool. may become an object in our direct trade. As yet no intelligence has been received from him, to warrant the hope of any mediation in that respect. The climate of Portugal is milder and more regular than N. Carolina, ivhilst the industry and- resources of the countrias are very similar. The former representative of the Chatham district finds every thing there to remind him of home, except the fruits of the LTsurline Sis ters, and the entire absence of the home currency, pitch and tar. Mr. Clemson, at Brussels, possesses ev ery advantage in promoting his scienti6c investigations, Ire being one of the first Chemists of the day. There is more in dustry and comfort in Belgium, than in any of the smaller Sbvereignties, nd Brussels is one of the most beautiful cities of Europe. Carpets and laces abound, and manufactures are constantly in construc tion. At Ostend are many beautiful pie tures, for which he possesses very great taste. There is no doubt Mr. Clenson will he of advantage to his native land :n the developementt of some df the new prin ciples and elements which the rapid matich of science daily disclopes. With Christopher Hughes. Esq., corn monly called "Kitt Bu-hes,"-who that has crossed the water, has not an acquain tance? The lague is a bLeautiful city, the seat of wealth. for which in- former days Holland was so famous. If ihe climate is so wet and dry, as to prevent the raising of grain or fruit, there is nevertheless pa: tience, econemy and neatness that entirelf compensates for the marshness of the soil. In the diplomatic circles, Mr. Hughes has acquired some eclat,from the facility with which he discourses S!ate secrets. His residence is most admirabiy futr'ished, in the kingdotn, not with an ostentatious dis play, but in the neatness and style of a plaiti republican gentlemau..w ho fornearly thirty years has held the confitlence of his own -govertnient. The conueisseur and virtuoso. may delight themselver for a month in !he contemplation of his -esearch es in the antigue, and the choice specimens of plate and other objects of .admirable workmanship thal adorn his drawing room. It is to be regretted that of late though not wealthy, he has launched into the extravagancies of "the npper ten thou sand," and therefore there is something to near, tr tbe eveuror petuimry-turras tmenss, that may be consequent to his in discretion in this particular. At Copenhagen there resides as true a Dane as any in Denmark, in the person of WVm. W. Irwin. -ith a heart ready to serve the country whlercver-she may call him, lie endures the severities of a niorih ern climate atnd a feeble covernment, with perfect composure and stoical resignation. Denmark commands the entrance to the Baltic, and levies a toll upou all ships that pass~ the sound, which is getterally paid at Elsintore. Mlr.
