The fourth section esquires the advertise ment of all package sales ia the newspaper nnd In catalogues, specifying marks, num bers, quant it v, length, breadth, See. This is one <4 the long prohibitory and admonito ry fingers of the anti auction men?one of their first stumbling blocks. Their great K?n, however, is in the fifth section, which, if they are allowed to discharge it, annihi lates at <?nre the auctioneer and hall a mil lion of dollars to the state at the same lime. "All goods, wares, merchandise and ef fects intended to be sold at such package ?-ale, if in the city of New-York, tkall be ifien to examination, in suitable stores or warehouses, at least three days previous to '.he time of sale) and all goodsintended to be Aold from the *%elve? of any auction store in less Quantities than the originul package, shall be advertised for, at leust, one day pre vious to the sale in one or more of the daily papers of the city or place in which sucn good* are to be sold, suting their nuantity nnd dcjcrl/itforr, and no goods shall be offer ed at such sale except those which have so advertised. It would o-cupy a column to show the evil tendency of the above section. It is suffi cient tosay, that, if the Legislature passes it and other state legislature* adopts the bill, the anti-auction men will never apply to Congress for a prohibitory di-ty on auc tion#; for ho auction sale either by ,nackage or on the shelf, can take place under such restrictions. Every niotcction is met by the term* of sale, the warranty of tiie Rood*, and nil the preliminary, legal and public announce ments of the auctioneer, prior to the sale. The seventh section appoints a superin tendent of auctions, with a salarv?some thing on Judge Formnu's plan. \\'e never found any superintendent a useful oflTiccr, except, indeed, the superintendent of Iiackx, and he troubles no person, seldom being seen. The fact is, the churactcr of men i* the proteclion of law* in the pursuit <>f lawful calling, and all spies ate o dions. As nothing further was contemplated than to take off the mono/ioly on auctions, by al lowing every man to take out n license, and ns the existing laws are fully adequate to the wholesome regulations of all sales by auc tion, we do hope that all the sections of the present bill may be stricken out, expecting the Jir?t, and the only one re quired. \Ve saw at Albany a few of our old anti auction friends dodging about, but never sus pected their object; they gave no chain paigne, made no display, and we imagined 'hev were candidates for the valuable office of llank Commissioners under the new law.

In addition to all thivektrinalc and foreign e?perlencu of the pernicious effect of monopolies and restriction*, the unjirecedeutedl) rapid program ol America herself afforded the most satisfactory andconvin elng proof of the immeasurable superiority of a Ire* system She had advanced with gUnl steps In the career of improvement. The few ragged and needy adventurers who, little more than a century a*i| a half before had established themselves on the mar gin of a vast continent, overspread wilhalmot im* |ienclrahta forettt,and occupied only by a few mise rable savages, three thousand miles distant from the dwelling* of civilised man, had grown into a mighty |ieople, possessed of strength suSlcient to wrest, by fnrc* of arms, their independence from the warlike and powerfol nation fron. whom thev had sprung! All this had lieen achieved without the mberabla aid of custom house regit* lation* and protecting duties; and it might have S?een supposed that so eitraordinary a cireer would nave satitAed even the mott ambitious. There were plainly, therefore, two conclusive and unanswerable reason*, why the I<*gi*laturc of the United State* should have abstained from the introduction of the restrictive system:?lu I he fait piece,the re*earehe*of the phifotophert, tha con fession* of the statesmen, and the experience nf other nation*, had proved that it was decidedly inimical to the advancement of mankind in ojm I an re and pnpulatiemi and, in the wend place, the Arneiicans were not entangled in the wall of etirting restrictions gpd prohibition*, hut had, under a free system, made an advance thai had no parallel in the history of nations and had these, fore every motive In continue In the c<Hir*e on which they had fortunalety entered. flut itrange a* it ny seem, the best establish ed scientific conclu dons, the experience of all aget arvl nations, ami the#own progress, foiled to convince the legislator* of America of the eape dieney ofpursoing that liberal line id policy, from the adoption of which they Had already reaped so many advantage*.

That the grand principle of the dirision of la* hour ou ?lil to |* respected fly *tatef, a* well as hy individuals is * doctrine too well established, lt> require us to say cue word in ite defence. The i-ircuoistauccs.too, under which America it plan* cd, render it peculiarly iucumlwit in her not to lore tight of tin# principle. It ia not easy to My what rpcoier of industry ia hctt suited lor mo?t of the old settled and densely |*vpled conntrieanf Kuropc, or which they nmy proarrute with the greatest advantage.' Industry l?, amongst them, in a Mate of perpetual oscillation: every new dis covery in the arit attracting cn pit ill to m*nufac. turcs, and every improvement in agi iculturc ngain drawing it bacK to the land. Hut thi* is not the rate in America. There neither ii nor ran be any doubt about the species of industry which is must for htr advantage to proieeule. And it is admitted by General Hamilton, and has been admitted by all the subsequent advocates of du lies and prohibition?, that were government to abstain from interfering to protect manufactures, none but Ihecoarierand bulkier sorts could main- I tain themselves, and that agriculture would draw I to itself mint of the capital and industry of the I nation. Nor is it difficult to perceive why tbi* should lie to. The most fertile lanJs ofbglaml, France, and moH other I'uropean countries, have been long since exhamtedi ami we are now oom pclled to retort to roils o( very inferior fertility, to obtain a part of our supplies of food. Hut America is in a totally different situation. Bhe i* still possessed of an almo*l unlimited extent of fertile aud unappropriated land; and it is as obvi ou?ly her inters! to apply lotrself in preference to its cultivation, and to obtain supplies of the finer sorts of '.-anufactured goods from rations less fa vourably situated for tlto pnncculion of agricul tural indusliy. as it is the interest of the West Indians to apply tliemielvet to the raising of sugar 1 nnd coffee. T?e growth of raw produce mm/, fora lonj series of years, be the most profitable [specie* of employment in which the citizens of , of America win engage. There can be no doubt, . indeed, that those branches of manufacture, natu I rally adapted to her |>eculiar sit nation, will grad i ually grow up ami flourish in America, according i at her popnlatloo liecotnct deu*er, and as the ad i vantage which now exirts on the side o4 agricul I lore becomes Ices obvious and decided. But to | encourage, by mean* of duties and prohibitions , the premature growth ol manufactures, it Mainly to force a portion of the industty and capiial of the nation into channels into which it would not oth erwise have Qftwed, because it would, but for these duties aud prohibition*, be less productively employed in them, than in those in wliieh it wqp already invested. Whatever, therefore, may be said with respect to the restrictive system in other countries, in I America it seems to lie dedltutc even of th* shad- I ow of an excuse. The advantages on the side of j nf agricultural industry are there so verv signal ami obvious, that to attempt forcibly to draw cap ital from it to manufactures, it really to adopt that precise line of conduct which it best fitted to' check (he propri a* of wealth a'ftd population, i Rut though the advantages on the tide of agri J culture were less obvious than they are, the poll I cy of the American legislature would yet he ' wholly indefensible. Let il lie tuposed iu illus I trationof tueeffsct of prohibitions, that America ' lias been accustomed annually to import ainil 1 lions worth of woolens, or tome other mannlactu | red product, from (*. Ilritaln, Trance, or other for. I eign country: and let it be further supposed, that | in order to vnoonrage the manufacture of a simi t lar article at home, she prohibits importation ? I Now,in this case?nnd what is true ot this ease it j true of all rettrictiont whatever ?it it, In the fittt I plaoe, plain that to whatever extent the heme de mand lor the prodnoe of American industry may be increased by the prohibition, the foreign de mand l??r that produce will be c<|?mUt diminished. Commerce is merely an exchange of equivalents] and those who rnfiye to import, really by so do ing, refuse to export. If America cease to 6u,v a million's worth of produce from foreigners, the mint at the same time, eeaee filing to them a million't worth of tome other specie* of produce; that it, site mn*t cease tending to the foreigner the article* she had previously heeii acouttomed to export, to piy the articles obtained from him, that are in future, through the agency of the prohibi tion, to he raised at home. All, therefore, that she will accomplish by this measure, will be the trantlereooe of capital from one branch of indus try to another. That equality of protection to whiehell the citixen^of the Unionar*justly en titled, will be essoroaclied upon; the inercaso of one employment, which, tosay the very least wat equally advantageous. Hut it it obviously lalte to affirm that such a weasoro can make ih? smallest addition to the capital and industry of the icnuts. |ic,or tothe/acilitiea of employing them with se enrity and advantage. TMn, however, U to look. nt the mtmittre In the nto*t favourable j mint nf view It it ne^aaary, In tlie trtotid idace, to ndvert to the/irk* at which the tsroliihited article will henceforth be a<dd.

Besides the injuries arising from varying the natural distribution of capita?, and circumscribing the foreign trade of the country, such restrictions has the effect of imposing a heavy burden on the pcopte for no purpose of general or public utility* but to produce a certain and grievous mU chief, bv tempting individuals to withdraw^ from rt-Hlly advantageous businesses, to en gage in ?Nte that cannot be prosecuted wUhr. out great nat'/Mtal lose.

M ?{??), right* and privileges; as a guarantee that the foot.tept of usurpation shall never potato the ssnct nary of the , elective franchise t nnd as sn earnest of popnlar I virtue in the maintenance of oar political institu tions As was anticipated from Hie Roman virtues of the president elect, his *ntry into the city was that of a private ciltxen, without pomp or unne cessary pageantry. His intercourse with the cit izens, (who I might almost say have been pressing en m?*?e,) wss courteous and dignified, flis at tentions civil and unostentatious : in this respect he is certainly superior to most men, ami however p?ejudiccd mis may be against him, who hps ne ver seen him, it Is res reefy possible after, a few minutes conversation not to entertain at least an exalted opinion of his character. He is without disguise; candor, hoiwsty, and independence ap pear to be engrailed in bis nature. Out I think he has manifested a (legibility of temperament in the selection of bis cabinet, and some o! bis exec utive nppointmeuU, which shew that however - sound his principles msy be, ha is still liable to be influenced 17 designing demagogues, and poli tical partisans. I may be too censorious, but it h suggested even by some of hie best friends that the new np|io)n(ments are more in accordance with that unrelenting spirit which characterised the contending parties of the late presidential contcst, than the inaugural address of the present incumbent seemed to tontemplalf, as a cardinal principle in Itis administration It is truly amusing tn witness the many impor tunate syrnphaaciee and civilities of aspirants to otfiee at this time. Th? number of applicants i? immense. It is thought to be a fortunate epoch for greedy ex (mot ants.

Tbo tried worth ami integrity ol that msn who it said to have Ailed the measure of his country's glory, forbid me to insinuate that be is either devoid ol' round judgment, or that he Is actuated by party seal, but It is charged that he has permitted him self too much to indulge the svlshea ol those poli tical aspirants who have attaehed themselves to his party, for the selfish motives of their own in dividual advancement. This is exemplified by a lew renent and very Important appointment* which delicacy forbids me to designate, la short, I discover that although there mey be mnny chsnges in official stations, by virtue of executive policy, (which by the by I deem eeeentiel to tho sanity of the body politic, as they secure energy and oircumspeetion In the different incumbents,) yet these changes, ns la all antecedent ndministra tjses, are likely to be somewhat controlled by the intrignn and management of those who have by any means iminiidsd themselves Into the ex cretive favor.
