^WhSS' ttic lilting of the committees was
going on, Mr. Hopkins of New-York, com
menced n mo*t lumtnou* speech which shall
beftirnishod in a few days. He referred to
the manner in which the British Parliament
procured such extensive information, by ap
pointing large \ommittecM to sit during the
recess, by which SO volumes folio were nn
nuaHy prepared?und which furnished the
nntion witn the means for muking all others
trlbutfk-y to them.
Thg American fyitcm.?In the Harris
burgh convention nf thu Slut ult. Mr. Nile*of
Balti imorc, with some prefatory remarks,
proposed tlao following:?
v /?nofceif, That a committee l?e appoint*
cd to ciMjiiirc what measures arc nccentury
to the protection of the manufacture of Ame
rican cofifler.
The resolution was adopted.
Mr. Mallory from Vermont, said that the
objects of the convention antl the wishes of
the friends of manufactures had been mis*
represented ?, it bad been said that their mo
tives were entirely sectional; he therefore
deemed it proper to show that the subjects
about to be acted on were interesting to all
the state;:, and to point out the direction of
each manufacture. He therefore offered the
following:
"litvolx'ed, That a committee (of five) be
appointed with direction* to report on the
state of trade of the dtiFercnt parts of the
United States with each other, u* far as H is
(.onTcrned ?n the productions of this coun
try."
Much tli. cu<;Mc>n took. placv ha to what
committer the resolution should be referred.
It was subsequently adopted uml referred to
a select committee. '1 lie convention then

hud been mudc us to the motives which in*
duccd the convention and us to the objects
which might command their attention, hut
the grcut mass of the people did expect some
thing of importam.tr in the results of their
deliberations. It the convention would lim

gress to net according to their recommenda
tion, uud thus lay the corner stone of the
'* American .system;" uml if we grained too

The delegates ought not to ait in judgment
upon public opinion, it wus enough that their
constituents had instructed them with then-;
and if the convention wandered from the
great topics of deliberation, they might at

lie had no objection that the varioua manu
factures ol the country be brought before

attention, yet all yielding to the claims of
woollens. _.</ .
S< verul gentlemen expressed their opin
ions, that the iepo\t,of this couunittecshould
lie on the table until tho committees had re
potted; by which mean a proper knowledge
of the intention of the committees would
be obtained, and a suitable direction given to
the renort*.

A communication from a meeting held in
Ilallowcli, Maine, was read. ^ ,
A communication from the President of the
gia*s manufacturers in New-York, read and
referred to the committee to address the
people. The ( first resolution of the
committee on woollens then came under
discussion, that importing, a duty of
twenty cents per pound upon wool costing
not less than ten cents; after % protracted
debate, eliciting a mass of statical informa
tlon, the minimum was reduced to eight
cenu per pound* and the section so amended
The bill proposing duties qn woollens,
excepted bindings, caps and blankets; when
this clause came under consideration, it was
proposed to place blankets under a high duty.
This matter was under discussion nlion the

Mr. lugersoil presented, this mc: .ting,
memorial to Congress,upon the subject of the
convention, to be signed by each of the mem

Th< ]furri*f>urr Convention?From a
correspondent <tl JHariHskurgh, we Irani that
the convention of delegates of friend* to the
manufacturing interest, adjourned uu Fri
ll.iy evening, at 7 o'clock, after an iuterest
ItiK tession of five days. The convention w a*
one of the moat resectable body of wen ever
collected together in this country^and its de
liberations were characterised by great .ibiii
><?nnon>.
to the President snd two Secretaries of the
convention, and nlso to II. Niles, and M.
Carey, for their long and unwearied exer
tions in favor of manufactures and internal
improvements.
We have not the particulars of their
transactions; but we expect to receive them
by the next mail. A rrspctful and orief
memorial to Congress was adopted, and ten
thousand copies ordered tobeprinted of the
proceedings of the convention, and of nn ad
dress to the people of the United State*.
The convention have falsified the predic
tlonsofthe combination print*, and complete
ly disappointed the /ran of an honorable
Senator front New-York, that its proceeding
would wear a party complexion. Its pro
reeding* uiul debates, and even the personal
intercourse of the members, were free front
any tinge of party; and the hope and confi
dence which we have expressed, that they
would he so, have been, to our great satisfac
tion, fully justified.
The memorial to Conger** wan signed by
ninety-nine members of the convention, (Gov
ernor Morrow having arriv ed from Ohio on
the fourth day.)
The memorial re commends a duty of 20
ccnts on all wool over the value In a foreign
port of 8 cents, and ccnts annually until it
reaches 50 cents.
Woollen goods, w itli a few exceptions, of
less than 50 cents, to be valued at 50 cents;
those between 50 cents and $2 50, at $2 50;
thote between 82 50 and ?4, at ?4; those be
tween ?4 and ?6, at ?6. l>nty 40 per centj 5 per
cent, annually to be n(Ui*4r-uutil it amounts
to sope* cent. ;-t
Iron it recommended to stand at one cent
per poun<\.
Cotton good*, hemp and flax, and grain,
are recommended to the favorable conside
ration of Congre: s.
Such, we learn, i? an outline of the features
of the memorial.

? PROTEST.
The ?nd?r?ign? d cit isentof Franklin conn*

regret* lew then 100 individuals nuktl)* of
the town of Frankfort, presume to uhootc
delegate* to i "|it cHcnt Hi is county hi n (in

14th instant; nnd with sorrow and indignation
we have *een Mid Convention & wamble, pre

m the 30th Instant, for purpoaea not

and particularly against the said Harvey and
others bring reclved and considered a* the
representatives of the state of Kentucky, or
any scction or county thereofi tor the follow*
ing reasonst
wkts stiue of Kentucky contain* 81 coun
ties, only 8 of which had the shadow of a re
presentation In the convention by which the
delegate* to Harriaburgh were selected.
The state of Kentucky contains about
85,000 voters,only about 500 of whom, either
dircctly or Indirectly, had any voice in choos
ing the delegates which com posed the Frank*
fort convention, front which the said dele
gates to Harrisburgh derive their authori
ty*
In the 8 counties whence came the dele
gates which composed the Frankfort conven
tion, the meetings at which they were select
ed were generally called cn short notices
ami did not average more than 50 or 60 men,
when those counties coutuiued each from
1,000 to 2,600 voters.
In the county of Fayette, the delegates to
the Fmnkfort convention were selected by
the'ehairtnon of the meeting, consisting of
about 30 men, without any election by the
people or any portion thereof
In tho county" of Mercer, tho meeting
which chose the delegates to the Frankfort
convention, was callcd And held at Danville,
on the edge of the county, and a meeting
said to be more numerous, was held at the
court house, and protested against the right
of the delegate* so selected to act in the
Frankfort convention) yet were they permit
ted to act and vote In the election of dele
gates to the Harrisburgh convention.
We consider it as little short of arrogance,
for Kentucky, as a state, to pretend to teach
Pcnnslyvanfti any thing which rclntestoher
own Interests; und for a few delegates selec
ted in the manner wc have described, to go to
her capital and affect tospenlt the voice ofthls
state, for the purpose ot guiding or directing
her course, is an insult to the understandings
of her people.
We have regular governments and have
a voice in the choice of our agents, and there
by a voice in the passages of tlie laws and
resolutions by which we are governed, and
vvc deny the right ot' n active or design
ing men toget up conventions through meet
ings suddenly culled, while we are engaged
in our several avocations, lor the purpose
of representing us, or influencing, directing
or controlling our re presentatives regularly

The delegates from this state cannot know
more ol the wants and will of the yeojde,
than our twelve member* of CongrcM; they
cannot more trul\ speak their voice; they
cannot give more information tothe represen
tatives or the peojdeof other states; they can
pussno laws, and adopt no valicd resolutions,
they cannot do, or speak, or think u single
thing tor the benefit ot the people, which can
1 not be better done, spoke or thought by our
[ rcpmcntatives in C ongress.
it it tie the design of this convention to
communicate to th?: wot the sentiments of
| the cast, and to the cut the sentiments of
the west, or to Pennsylvania the sentiments
of both, in relation to any subject of common
interest, that objcct can ton better accomplish
ed through the true representatives of the
wholu people in Congress assembled, than
through the agentsofa few political managers
who assume to speak their voice without au*
thority.
If it be intended to combine together u
number ot status, with the object otoiftueiic
ing, dictating or controlling tlic deliberations
ot Congress upon uny measure, right or
wrong, we protest against it as tatal to the
right of the people to govern, und dangerous
to the existence of our institutions.
>v e nave once seen a convention or dele
