IT cOU.VE fclAL RECIPROCITY. ! r Among the foreign news by the liiberna, we 1 s find the full owing. i ' One of those importa-H items of new* which we j ; find in these papers is the discussion of a n w commercial treaty between En.-htid and the U-n- ; > ted States, on ihp principles of ttuitl recipr* my. . t The following article i<f otn the L.v- r;> >oi Aibi- j? on: J 1 'Reciphocitt Trfaty tvitix Aklhica.? m When any object which we have to view cannot j < he fully obtained, it is good p''iey to diteci .

Yet there is a mode ly which . these views may be neatly though not complete- ! ly accomplished, even during the pr. sent year. ! The object.of both these measures is the regular and sufficient supply of grain at in >d ial<prices, ami ilie increased employment of our : manufacturing population, ilotii these objects mar, we think, be" obtained by the following pro- : position: we make treaties witli Portugal, admitting their wines on favorable duties. '1 ids is . the principle of reciprocity. ? wise mid just priu- \ ciple. We are also negoti'iiiuj with ii:e Hruzils j on the principle of giving and receivingequiva- j lent advantages. Wc would suggest, then thai j wc should make a proposition to the L*. Stales on i a similar principle?tiie principle of reciprocity Let us propose to America to admit th. ir grain i at a certain rate of duty, on condition ot their admitting our manufactures at a similar rate of duties. Let this rale f >r argument's sake, be fixed 20 per cent, ad valorem?wc admitting mm grain at an ad valorem duty oI 20 per rent, and they, in return, admitting our rnajtu fact tires at 20 per cent; t!ic value of grain to be taken at the shipping-port, atnl proved to the .satisfaction of the consult there. Suppose for example's sake, the value of the grain at the shtppine-pni t to he 5s. per bushel, then the duty of 20 per cent , would be Is per bushel, which would be tfir duty j payaplc on its arrival in Lln_ land. Then the j duly on out manufactures?say on a piece of cloth 1 valued here at 10s.?would at, 23 pi r cent., be j liable to a duly, on its arrival in America, of2s i per piece. This would be fair reciprocity, and would !eip over the thousands difficulties which have impeded the settlement of this question. It would prohaly, satisfy the moderate men of all partie^though it would displease the extreme partisans of each party. The advantages would be immense if this measure could beacco'mplished; the demand front manufactories would be ! greatly iucreascd; the employment of the workmen consequently much extended, wages would of necessity advance; and the kingdom would recpivea regular supply of grain at moderate prices. The landed men need not have much apprehension for they would have a protective duty of20pcr cent and the consumption of grain would be augmented by the more extended employment of the manufactoring population. The variable amount .?f ihp dotv is an objection: but something i hhiuimi* ? J t v must be conceded for the sake of obtaining admission of our manufactures on favorable terms, i The proposal to the U. Stales would enlist all their agricultural then in favor of the measure and 1 would induce to them compel congress to alter their present tariff,and probably compel the Executive to accept our proposal. The same prot?"one country would become jealous nffiany other enjoying advantages from which itself was excluded. No one kingdom could complain, if the samo terms were* offered to each. The growing additi mnl population of the king dom requiressame additional employment for the working classes and this seems to point out the mode by which this desirable object may be obtain en and with little, if any injury to the landed men Because iriey would escape those increasingly heavy pour rates which must fall upon the land in prnpolion as thejwant ofeinpioymeiit compels the working classes to have recourse to parochial relief. .Should America re ject our ofb-r the nation will bear the evils of the prestuit corn-laws with more patience; hut the infiuncc ofthe landed men inCongress is too powerful to admit of much doubt lhat they would obtain a majority in favor of this proposal. There i* very little doubt but the Biiii?h Government is anxotis to open her ports ".o the | introduction of grain and meat on a more liberal ' 6ca!c than heretofore. Her tariff system has had the tendency to reduce t:>e masses l<> the mist abject poverty and distress, and millions of hungry mtruths are now demanding bread or blood, j This will produce a total revolution in the laws ! of England ere long, and they will find frec-tiade the only means to preserve the Government a Hide longer from a total overthrow. We see asuggestion ofthe probability that Mr. v&ri Dtirfii win vniininni' wiuiiiraw n;s iiiiin*; from the canvass, before the holding of a demo- ' cra'.ic convention. We apprehend thai litis is not correct, though we most heartily wish it may | be so lie obtained the vote of hut seven states in 1940 and although we belie democratic princiHes are now in the ascendant, yetlltosc who op. jtosed him bitterly then, would now much more I cheerfuly take up another democrat, a new candidate, than one whom tln*v then assisted in defeating. We Jo not think ,\lr.

If so,we believe there w ill l>e general acqiescenee, and we believe also, that the no.ni j nee be he whom he may, will be the nextPreei i dent. That the convention will not assemble, till : after Congress shall have been long enough in ses- I i ion to shew the course of members on all the ; great questions at issue between the parties, we i , think is now prettv well ascertained.

A number of resolutions were passed, among which were the fellovvi g. Resolved, That the late chivalrous conduct and a I i:i' st rcckiess self devotion of Commodore E. W. Moore and the lirnve officers and men under his command on the coast of Yucatan, in ronllict with a greatly superior naval force of Mexico, while it is calculated to elevate our naiioiiii] character abroad ami at home to elicit our uniniuglcd admiration, has jnstJv entitled hint and then) to the fullest measure of their country's gratitude. Resolved, That the probable tcsiilis of the lute valiant artion ami spirited hearing of our little navVt may be justly held as of scarcely less importance to the na ioiml weal and independence than the victory of San Jacinto in 1830, and consequently that in our opinion Col James Morgan, by giving his previously avowed sanction to the naial expedition, by way of Yucatan, has acted nobly for his country, honorably for himself, justly towards a brave and meritorious officer, and in fine in such a w;;y as to secure for himself the deep ant! lasting gratitude of his country. Resolved, That tve in common with man'* ?f our Isdlovv-cilizens throughout the Ivcpnblic, ,'Ioeply deplore the tiuf??rlumisconception of , facts, and misrepresentation i>f circumstances i which prompted to the issue of the late p roc.

The tone of the Texas press is somewhat more moderate in its remarks upon the executive proclamation against Coin Moore. While all concur iu regarding the proclamation as ill judged, none attempt to justify the disobedience of orders which produced it. THK NAVY?YUCATAN. A small schoott'-r, which has been employed as one of the gnu boats at Campeachy, arrived h?re from that port on Wednesday, with despatches from Commodore Moore and (] 1.

The useful and efficient lire company of this place j have received theifnew engine, and much cause have i th?*y to rej >ice tinMthoy have at last succeeded, in pro- I curing an article, umich. if we mistake not, will amply ' reward their zeal and public spirit, manifesto'.! ia their | increasing endeavors lor some years past, to obtain an engine suited to the wants of our community. The one now received, is from the manufactory of Mr. John Agnew, of Philadelphia, and as far ac external appearance goes, is a handsome article, rather too much so, we should think, as it will require considerable labor and care to keep her numerous brass mountings and orna mental work as bright as we have no doubt they will be kept. But \vc have no fears on this point?the members are all tcorking men, and we are quite sure that the engine will on all occasions, be found in complete 1 order. Tills engine is of larger dimensions and of more power, than any the company have hitherto worked, and we are afraid that the present force of tiiat body will he too light to man and work her properly, and should deem it advisable for them to apply at the coming Be?-' sion of our Legislature, for an amendment of their char, ter allowing them more members. The "Camden" is embellished with two paintings, both very neat and appropriate, and well executed. Every thing about the affair bespeaks it a complete piece of workmanship; there I is a place and use for every thing, and we have no doubt it will justify the expectations of all concerned. We learn that the entire cost of the engine, SOO feet of r.ew_ i m.,nrciir ra ? ?. 5- -sTTvu, ana we leel assured, now that the engine is received, a last appeal to the liberality of our citizens will not be made in vain. We must not omit to mention the new hose-curringe, which we thought from its finished appearance, had been manufactured in Philadelphia. vC'e were however agreeably surprised to learn that it was the workmanship, of our worthy townsman, Mr. John R. Smith. It is in every respect, in perfect keeping with the new | t engine, and is another evidence, thai we need not go i | cut of Camden, for ahar.dsome ?nd substantial vehicle* j in the carriage line. Temperance Statistics?We hope the excellent I suggestions of our correspondent "W." in this days paj per, will be considered attentively, by every friend of the cause. Wo recommend them especially to the attention of the deloTAtes who tnav he anoointed to th? i State Convention from our Sorie'v, anrl trust that they | will exert themselves in bringing them forward for the ! deliberations of that body. The answers to the qucs- ' lions proposed, would reveal to the world, if strictly and | correctly given, many a fearful history of rrime, many i a recrd of wretchedness and woe. Few of us know the 1 incalculable amount of misery, entailed upon the human | familv, by drunkenness6, and we arc convinced, that the only effectual way of purging society of this foul1 vice is by holding up, to the public eye, the degradation, wretc/.edness and poverty which it entails, not only' upon its votaries, but upon families and communities.? We thank our friend "W." for his promise of future communications. 3j" It will bo seen by our present number, that our I correspondents have promptly responded to our invita- I tion.
