Additional and tecret Article.
"In CMC the Ottoman Porte does not ic<
eept within the space of one month* the
mediation which wall be proposed, the high
contracting parties agree upon the following
measure*!?
" J. It shall be declared by their repre
sentative* at Constantinople to the Porte,
that the inconveniences ana evils pointed out
.n the public treaty as inseparable from the
state of things subsisting in the east for the
last six years, and the termination of which,
through the means of the dlsponl of the sub
lime Porte, appears still remote, impose
upon the high contracting parties the neces
sity of taking immediate measures for an ap
proximation with the Greeks.
" It it to l>e undei stood that this approxi
mation shall be brought about bv establish
ing commcrcial relations with the Greeks
by rendering to them for that purpose, anil
receiving from vhem, consular agents, so long
.t? there shull exist among them autho
rities capable of maintuining buch relations.
2. if within the said tcnu of one month,
the Porte do not accept the armistice pro*
posed in the firat article of the public treaty,
or if the Greeks refuse to execute it, the
high contracting powers shall declare to that
one of the two contending parties which shall
wish to continue hostilities, or to both, if such
become necessary, that the said high con
tracting powers intend t~> exert alt the means
which circumstances may suggcbt to their
prudence to obtain the immediate effect ot
the armistice, the execution of which they
desire by preventing, in as fur as mar he in |
their power, all collision between the con- j
tending pnrties, and in fact, immediately of-!
ter the aforesaid declaration, the high coif
tnii'ting powers will conjointly employ all
their means in the accomplishment of the
object thereof, whithout, however, taking
any part in the hostilities between the two
contending parties.
" In consequence, the high contracting
powers will immediately after the signature
of the present additional and secret article,
transmit eventual instruction* conformable to
the provisionsabrive set forth, tothe admirals
commanding their tqadront in the teas of the
Levant.
" 3. Finally, if contrary to all expectation,
these measures do not yet suffice to induce
the adoption by the Ottoman Porte of the
propositions made by the high contracting
poweiv or if, on the other hand, the Greeks
renounce the conditions stipulated in their
favor ia the treaty of this day, the high con
trading powers will, nevertheless, continue
to prosecute the work of pacification on the
basis agreed upon between them, and in con
sequence, they authorise from this time for
ward their representatives in London, to dis
cuss and determine the ulterior measures
to which it may become necessary to n sort.
"The present additional and secret article
shall have the same force and value as If U
bad been inserted word for word, in the trea
ty of this day. It shall be ratified, and the
ratifications thereof shall be exchanged
at the same timo as those of the said treaty.
" In faith whereofc the respective plenlpo
tentiaries have signed it, and have thereto af

HarrMurg Convention.?The congrega
tion of choice spirits hat broken up, and left
the world, which looked for light from its
labora, still living in darkness. The debates
as reported, afford a fine exemplification of
the doctrines of the NUet and Carey school
of political economy. The leading idea ot
the members seems to have been, that each
?? Interest0 it to be ** prntectetod" by a UK
on all the consumers of its productions, that
K on the whole people. For Instance, if
woollens can be raflushed by the English,
so that s poor man ettn get his coat one dol
lar cheaper than the manufactuen at home
could furnish it, then a duty somewhat over
one dollar mutt be imposed on the imported
article to at to fbrce this poor man to buy
the domestic article. TOs Is a pell tax of

Beside?, the bill proiMMed by the Harrisburg

that th? poor man Is charged a larger tax
onhis'c&it* which he must hare than the
Hob man upon his. Fortunately, the maxima

plainly self-evident to bo shaken oven by an
We are obliged to this Convention for the
first full development of the theory of pro
tection. It seems it .is to include all the
interest* " Heap the hill higher than
Olympus" shouts Mathew Carey* " the

we shall be ot succecding." This la. the
pcootamation of the Apostle of the American
System* so called, though It la older than the
discovery of Yuaerica, because It la exploded
fit every part of the four quarters of the 'globe
except in America. "Now, earry the sys
tem to its utmost extent* and what does ft
amount to. Strange as theconeeoueuce may
seem, the whole ot the community become

of rags and sulphuric acid} and these we have
at home. Supposing some chemist esta
blishes e factory up?n this glorious theory!
his sugar costs a dollar a pound: but wbal
thenMhe dollar stays in the country* foreign
sugars take the dollar out of it; we shall be
drained of our specie, *'we shall never be
independent," cries Mr. Stewart* M while
?the West Indies sweeten our tea! We have
fought for liberty; we must now fight for
sweetening;" the maker of rag sugnr-ptumbs
must be protc< ted in his l<-'.tdal>lc enterprise
according to the American system, which
the Americana copy from the enlightened
wid liberal Spanish.'
Is the argument any better for woollens
than It it for sujjnr? Jt is the same. If the
labor whleh produces 75 yarda of cloth of a
given quality, applied in a different manner
would produce wherewith to purchase 100
yards of English cloth of the same quality,
then are 35 yards of that cloth lost to the U.
States by the munufature of it at home. If
the theory stated in iull is absurd, let aay
man tell me wh.?t is moderate protection?
It i* an absurdity in terms? you might as well
talk of comraiting murder moderately. If
the theory it true, it is true; if it is false, it is
not true moderately, no line can be drawn.
What ? singular ?pectaclt does this con
vention exhibit; the west demanding to be

oar cold water societies, Kentucky demand*

than most of them, poses the whole assem

encouragement of the manufacture of ships.
Mr. Stewart of New-York, ravee like a
madman; he says " Adam Smith's work had
poisoned the mind of the nation, and we
ought to eradicate the notions imbibed from
his work." ? It would be quite as wise to say,
Pike's Arithmetic has poisoned the mind of
the nation, and we ought to eradicate the
multiplication table. Has Mr. Stewart ever
read the Wealth of Nations? If he haa, he
must know that that work consists of unan
swerable reasonings, based upon unquestion
able facts. The principles established In
that masterly work ane admitted by every
political economist of any note In ? verv
country in Europe. Never was that*iutnph
of any philosophical system more rapid,
steady and complete, and more likely to be
lasting, than that of the new system of poli

says, "we ftnd It frequently even in our retail
shops." (if this Is tru* I rejoice at It) ? hf
eonvequenoe of the prejudices drunk in with
this commerrktl milk, upon which however
maay had grown rich.'' Mr. Stewart had
better go back to this milk a little while.

goods, more numerous than the manufactu
rers, ars your natural enemies. His poller
would be to shut down the hatches upon all
but two objects, vis; woo) and woollens and
Iron. True I His policy would shut dawn
