February Gt L O5. 4: RE 3. . OR IGIV A L. For the Advertiser. - LETTER NO. II. Tni, UNIoN iN 1790, 1845 AND 1900. Mr. Editor: - How inscrutable are the ways of Provi dence! There Is scarcely a moment in the day, but what an opportunity for deep anc solemn reflection presents itseff to the re flecting mind-scarce an occurrence how. ever trifling, but what will be found, if we trace it step by step as it glides slowly along in the path of time, a connect ing link to a great chain that may end it one of those extraordinary convulsions thal so frequently revolutionize whole nations, and sometimes entirely change the physical and moral condition of man. These re flections were forced upon me on entering Hamburg.- Before me lay a neat, flour ishing little town. Here a row of newly finished building" reared their lofty heads. There stood a row of ueat brick stores, looking as if conscious how much they add :o the beauty of the town. The streets were filled with Wagons, some unload ing their valuable staple, others taking in their groceries, and other necessaries. All was life, and animation. This town which carries on an immense trade, owes its existence to a trivial quarrel between the citizens of Augusta and a pri vate individual, who to avenge himself, resolved to build a town on the opposite shore, which he knew woiild greatly cut off their trade. Accordingly, he in a sin gle night erected a number of houses, which laid the foundation of Hamburg. But why wonder that a quarrel should lead to the erection of a town ? Does not history abound with numerous instances of less trivial causes having produced greater results? The exclusion of the Angustines from the selling of license to commit crime, incensed Luther against the Roman Church, and fitally produced the refor niation. A pegjarlbtw~ntad-e at ihCourt of St. James, led Bolintgbioke to make separate treaty between Queen Ann and Louis XIV, which treaty brought on the peaco 6r Utrecht. and all its con sequences. Had not a lady of Paris splashed her stockings on a certain morn ing. probably Robespierre would have ne ver been on the stage of action in France. There would have been no reign of terror, and Napoleoft .would not have worn a crown or *ielded a sceptre; and a tax on Tea ended' in the politicatl independence of a Nation, and convinced the sceptic world that that nation in which the people is the source of power, aan alone make rapid strides to power and prosperity. To be convinced .of this, it is but necessary te compare our progress with that of the Eu. ropean po*crs for the last sixty years. Rapid indeed, have been their strides, bul only at a suale's pace, when measured by the standard of ours. Scarce seventy yeari have elapsed since we, as an insignificant republic, took out position in the rank of nations. It waa then confidently prognosticated,'lay sage philosophers, that we must sooni crumblk into dust by our own ponderous weight. Sadly ha'de they been mistaken! An all. wise Providence has zealously watchec over our interest, and seems to havo se lectty this glorious land, in which to plani the tree of liberty. Here doea it flouriut most vigorously. The time is not far dis tant, I trust, when the branches will taka root ia every land, and-tyranny-and des potism; which shackle the'natural energy of man, will be known but by name. -From the glorious night on which th< immoatal Washtington, with his. small bu gallanat army, re-crossed the Delaware anad abe British lion first crouched to thi American eagle, our Star has been ot the ascendnnt, and now it is pointed at a a constellation of the first magnitude. it 1790 we scarce numbered 4000,000 inhabi tants, now we exceed 20.000,000 W: hanve built a host of towns and cities, man: of which can vie with the largest and mons prosperous of. Europe, in every respect Our country is crossed by more than fif teen thousand miles of Rail Road, and fiva thousanid miles of Canals-and on tha whole, seems as if-called into existence by the conjurers magic wand. Our g altan navy has twvice defeated the sell'callec Queen of the ocean, and now the "Sta Spangled Banner" tvaves triumphant it every Sea. Our mnerchant-ships are ti be met with in every clime-in the frozet ocean of the north, or in the torrid zone and ouir ingenuity, industry and perseve ance bids fair to drive England from ev ry. m.rke, of the world. I dothibt W ashington, Jefferson or Franklin, even in their most sanguine expectations, con templated for their posterity an advance so rapid, so brilliant. But great as our power undoubtedly is, let us remember that ;e are as yet in our infancy. What will it he, when we shall have grown to vigorous manhood? What country on the face of the earth enjoys the advantages we do ? With the Atlantic on the East, the Pacific on the West. the Lakes on the North, and the Gulf of Mexico on the -South, we may be possessed or numerous fine harbors, and rnonopolizo the com mrce of the world. With a soil that yields the productions of every clime-the valley of the Mississippi, alone, (if prop erly cultivated,) would yield grain sulli cient to supply the whole earth. Cotton, tobacco, rice. flax, hemp, sugar, wine and indigo are abundantly produced, and even dye-stulTs, coffee, spices and silk could be profitably raised in our Southern regions. In time, (and that not far distant.) we will largely manufacture cotton, silk, woollen, and linen goods, and supply every market with those articles. The bowels of our soil are teeming with immense beds of copper, iron, lead, coals. granite and gold. These immense hid (len treasures will be brought to light and exported to foreign port. Salt, lime and valuable timber are othe.r sources of our wealth. Soon we must monopolize the trade of China and India, which must pour into our channels from the gorges of the Rocky Mountains. Oh! could 1 but live fifty or sixty years hence, when this country will contain more than a hundred -millions of inhabitants, -when gur coasts will 'swarm with populous cities, and this country, (from North to South, and from East to West, including Texas and Oregon, which will and must come into our possession,) will be as one enire great garden. . Myriads or towns iill spring up in the interior. Where now stands the lonely hut ewil n n -a .viaesad i t fnow is a sequestered villae will be a magnificent town, crowded with facto vies, with warehouses and with palaces. In thousnud and ten thousand of places where now the lofty pine or :he venerable oak reigns supreme, will be found the hab itation of man. Not the rough primitive but of the backwoodsman, nor the small though neat frame building, but the com modious brick dwelling, the construction of which has exhausted the ingenuity of the architect. Rail Roads and Canals will cross and re-cross the whole country in every d' :tion. Our ports will be crow ded with sit -ping, our interior towns with factories-our commerte will extend to all nations and every clime, and we will leave all rivals far behind. To contemplate our future condition, requires a stretch or the imagination, and is above my power to describe. England indeed forseen out destiny, and her danger. She rears the effulgency of our star mighi eclipse her. She knows the industry, ingenuity and perseverance of the American people. Site knows our resources, and is straining ev cry nerve to dounteract our rapidly increa sing power. The weapons she employs to accomplishi her object, I might makge the subj.ect of my next letter..

From the.New York Journal of Commerce. THE TAX OF PROTECTION. We stated some days ago, that we had obtained from an importer a sample of yard wide bleached cotton shirting, pur chased by him in Manchester, at seven and a quarter cents a yard, including exchange at ten per cent. and that in quality the ar ticle was equal to the New York Mills shirtings of the same width, which the manufacturers were sellitig at fourteen cents a yard. We also -slated that sam pies of these goods might be seen, side by side, at our office, together with a sample of American ctto is costing eight cents, or about the saie -price with the English. These three simpoles have been compared by a great nimber of manufacturers and merchants. The circumstance has ejici ted much debpte, an.J a good many care less and eveni arsh assertions from the Tariffpapers. Withour enumerating these, we will simply; lay before our- readers a' statement of the,facts. Fitst, Thenthhre is neither on our part, nor on that of ikf-tnporter, any decep'ion or false appealance in any particular. The goods purchased in Manchester were purchased.in the regular course of mercan tile business. hey were riot refuse goods, nor old goods, InIr "an odd lot. They were not made of India cotiori and pulverizei spar, nor had they anything about them peculiar. Theywere ordered and made in the usunl way. and at the usual price, and any further quantities of them can be procured at the same price. By the glass they count 80 t fireads by 96. Secondiy.- The importation of these' goods at so loiy a price. is no new"thing. They have infact been imported all along, costing, until renily, -only 99. t 10s. a piece, instead of i2i. id., rihil ias paid for these. The present import6r hi beed in the practice bf buying them here at 15 cti. and selling them at 17 1 2 Cte. The advance in England was stich di to. take them cost just 15 ets. laid down here, which caused the former importers to abandon them, and the jobber was oblig ed to import them for himself. Thirdly. the goods were not bought in England with any referenre to this devel opement, nor with any reference, to any thing but the profit of the business. The developementis the result of a casual-con Fourv/dy. The cotton of which the New York Mills goods are made. is " fully fair New Orleans " or - Mobile," and the ra-v material of the -English article is appa rently the same. . The raw material for neither of them, at present prices, costs more than two cents a yard, as a pound of the cotton costs but eight cents, and makes four yards of the cloth. Cavillers may perhaps say that the raw material costs two and a half cents a yard. Let it bd "deemed and taken " to be so. Fifthly. The weight of the two kinds f goods ivery exactly the same, boih weigh ;ng within two ounces of 22 1-2 lbs. the 100 yards. Sixthly. The English article is as good for wear as the American, f'r we' know gentlemen who have worn both. Screnthly. We are now prepared to say that the English article, taking its quali ties in the aggregate, is better than the American, and gaios in the comparison by washing. This is proved by the opinion of dozens ofjndges, includin- manufactu rers and TarifT ren in lairge num'bers, who, when the washed samples have been put into their hands, have pronounced al. most unanimously in favor of the Man, chestei sample, declaring tihat the best. TIe fact that the English article has sold andI is now selling at 17 1-2 cents in com petition with N9ew York Mills goods at 14 1 2 cents side hy side, is proof enough' of their superiority for all mercantile pur poses. Upon these seven declarations of tabts, we beg our readers who are disposed or evetn willing ta admit imple truth, to mark it down in their minds thai the regular manufacturers' price for fne cotton falkiits in Iisogland is not m'ore than half the price whi'ch is paid to American m'anufacturers, for goods of equalquzality. Theta are some other facts intimately connected with these things, which -are worih filingin mind. I. Th'~ ab'gnufacetufera in Manchester are making money very tapidlj, at the prices which they now obtain. & gentle man of Njw York, or'great experience, and an eairsest'defender of the iaiifwhen at home, wrote a letter to' his friend in this coumiry by the tift steamer, in whidh, speaking of the prosperous con'diti'on of the manufacturers, he says "there are more than'an hundred establishments in Manchester which are clearing twenty-five thousand poutids each (Sl20,000) a year." We read the letter ourselves. This fact, and another, that the Englishmeh- are butilding now factories and enlarging their operations, is proved by the foIl6wing-ar ticle whichwe-cut from Wildmer & Smith's Liverpool Times of September 4th. "sTATS 0? TRADE IN MANCHESTER. We extract the following from Messrs. lu'N,sir, Greenhow, and Irving's circular The excitement, attended by an impor tant advance upon some of the articles, so general .at the date of our last Circular, is passing away ; and the goods in question, as you will learn from the details, are re ceding fasr to the r-ates current previous to the last movement. -Our conviction, 'some time ago expressed, that high grices -relatively considered-cannot again rule penrmanently in this country, becomes gradually strengthened. With such an immense productive power as we already possess, and the fact of an early and con siderable accession to that power, by the erection of several new.mills. in most of the main cotton-manufacturing localitiei, con'firm u' in the belief that ii is utterly impossible to force iti products beyond a legitimate value. The business of the month has beei of a very extensive character; and, notwith standing that matters have within the last fortnight, assumed a much .uieter aspect, there is nothing in their present appear ance calculated to weaken our previous and present impressions, that the state of trade has been, and continues to be ex ceedingly healthy. The home irade, ihough not at present very active, is very satisfactory. The au tumin business will, if we mistake not, ex ceed considerably that of some years past. We write, of course, in anticipation, it be ing yet too early to form a conclusive &pin ion. From our correspondents in Leeds, IIud dersfield, Helifax, Bradford, and other pla ces, we continue to receive unequivocal proofs of the continuance of decided in provement. At its present value, and the rates real ised 'oth for goods and yarns, spinners and manufacturers are undoubtedly doing very well. Domestics-The advance upon the low qualities. noticed in our last Circular, is sustained,--scarcely, however, to the ex tent then prevalent. They are still scarea. The middling qualities, whicha are also very scarce, maintain easily the advance upon them. In the best iakes; we per ceive no material change. Cotton goods can be riaritifactured as ihedrilj in this edunry as in England. A great manufacurer in. Boston, and advo cate of the protective policy; who had beed Much in England, wrote several years agd a series of articles f-.otie'ofthe'Bos ton newspapers, proilog that thete was iio essential difference in the rages of labor, betrween this country and Engldnd. La bor is -paid in some cases less by Me day in England, but thiedless is dccotmplished. From all that we can learn, our judgment is, that a given quantity of labor can be procured Fdr as little morney here, as in England, cunning, faithfulness, honisty, number ot houses, and especially the bad ef'eet of trades unions. We do n'tc believe that in th' matter of Ildbor the Englishman hasrey ssetiladaanssaa glishman has the great diSadvantnge of being coiipolled to pai'.six per ceiit duty on his raw cotton, with double freight, afd other expenies of irriportation. His only advantage is in a less rate of interedt for money, and a-freer trade in all foreign or ticles which he iiishies to use., such as iron, paints, &c. Building musi be as cheep here as in England. . Water poner is rather preferable to sieatm. Take it all in all, the maunfacturer in the U. States btands fully on a par with the manurac turer in England. fHe has the advantage in this market, offifteen per cent. charges on importation, so that with the duty fixed by the Corripromise Act. he ouIld have thirty-five per cent advantage. Goods costing seven and within cents in Manches ter, would be ten cents when laid down heie. This large protection our manufac turers might enjoy.. withocit controversy. That this is so, is proved by th.e fact fiat American cotton gonds manufactured in Lowell were sent to England a year or tnd ago, paid the English duty, and yet sold at d piofit. Otir goods compete successfully with the English in afl parts of the w'rld ; and even the British troops in India are clothed in Massacbusetti "drills." Large p'tircirases of brown goods have recently been rmade in Bostory, for shipment!, so that a letter from a great ho'uie there says thiis demand will probably prevent prices from receding further. It must be noticed, however, that the goods exported sire heavy,-quite unlike the esamples wbich we have eifhibited. All goods ate a good deal cheaper in England than here, and for a large portion of those carried to Chi sa, our own ships proceed to England for cargoes. 2. The Enghi.-h manufacturers are at this time keeping the markets which they 6Gad, and recoverin'g what they had lost to our countrysnen in past years. They have also, within~the last two years, gone be fore es in those departments in which w~e had attained.equality. 2. Th'e English manufacturers are all Free Trade-men,having become thorough lyconvinced that Free.Trade is essential to their success. There is not now an ar tie of British amanufactore which iR pro tected. A great manufacturer in Manches ter said recently .to a friend ofo'urs, "lse lorig as Frich calicoes were shut oui,-we were affaid of them; but when they were let in and wve saw theeri, an'd were obliged to co-npete with them, we did it with suc cess.." This'is their geaneral tone, and they are engaged in a great and determined warfare against the remnants of protec tion which still remain in their laws, as applicable to agricoltural pursuits.-' 4. We have other satmltes-of English manufactitres which showv e greater dif ference in prices even, than these which' have msade so much'conversation.' We shall bring them forward.dhirectly. 2. The capit al and -labor of our country. under the inafuence of the present Tariff, is rushing into aisaufactures with fearful' rapidity. Five millions have thus been invested in Massachusetts recently, and the machine makers have for months past been engaged for eighteen months ahead. The demand for manufacturad goods is rapidly enlarging, in our country nnr thro' the world. . Still *e predict inat it fthe present Tariff continues five years longer,. it will bring about a revolution among manufacturers which will -scatter their present unnatural profits to the winds; at least, in the case of many of theim. Good statestiduship and true .patriotism would desire to dvdid the repetition or isch disas Lastly; Thi reisson why cotib' j:ods have advanced all over the worla, is that' the commercial i drdldi just corniout of a general collapse. The reason ;why thli advance has been much greitir in .this countrj than lse've're,.sli that tha tranu factureis are inaking such eitoritoui pr6fti, (Mr. Marshall excepted,) is, that the com promnise act adop'ted -in .1833.hctdeied' people cdutious of building fac'ories. The increase wias not equal to the. ncrease'of our population. We expected acinoie'-u. ance of free trade, when.'suddenly, (and most inproperly. and unfortunatily,. ve think, for all interests,) ihe ababdohinl policy was restored in the worst exirems. Foreign goods vere shut out, and jut.as the greatest prosperity *hich our eountrr. has ever enjoyed, carne upon us, we were hut up in the, s.ipoly of mills altogethir inadequate.
