establish themaelvcn ??f coniie, and grow
with the growth of the causes that estsbllvh
ed them. But It they ore to depend on a
ay stein of taxation laid for their support*
this may fail them ; owing to the conduct
th(t may be adopted by foreign i lower*?to
the changing views uf the subject taken st
home, and to the misconduct o( the ui.mu
faituvers themselves.
We can only reason from pastfxperience.
During the late war many manufacture*
were set up < and they were conducted with
s* much imprudence, and Involved iu their
establishment so many certain caui** of fail
ure, that it is no wonder they almost all full
ed.
I. The undertakers merged usually the
greatest portion uf their capital in buildings
needlessly expensive.
II. They ycre set on f'?ot and managed
bv joint -took companies, a aure prognostic
of ill Btlcccs*.
II!. They were too often committed to
the care of pretenders, who imposed on their
ignorant employers, the capitalists.
IV. 1'hc wanton, curvlcsa, extravagant
waste in many of them, amounted to more
than a reasonable profit.
V. Every master manufacturer cxpcctcd
to live iu opulence, upon the lii^h profits of
u small capital : white hia competitor in Ku*
rope, lived li ug.?lly on smutl ptt.its fropt a
larvt capital.
VI. '1 lie high prices demanded, allot ditiK
an enormous profit, disgusted with jpeat
ri avm tlic consumer*. 1 believe when con
jjrev. about two hcssions ?r?'? 'u'd 11 duty on
imported iron, the iron masters took theOp
portunity of laying an additional puce <n
their article about equal to the amount ol the
tax.
It may ho fikeu for a suit and certain
??vent, that whenever the laws,put the pub
lic in the power of the manufacturer, bv
crtatiti^ a inoiio|H>ly in his fav r, hew HI lay
additions on the price ot the art ick to the tit -
must extent that the patience of the public,
???ill bear. It ban b -iris so in time past, and
will e\er be so in tunc t<? emite. Ueasoiribk

IX. Manufacture* to succeed require the
ttradij employment of large capital?. Hut
from the habit of Associations a mum; our
Workmen to euh.tncc the price of labour, and
the temptation our wild lands afford to eve
ry man who tan, by saving a few hundred .
doi ar-, acquire and enjoy the mdependent ,
,*i'u it ion of land owiici* and c u'tivutors, our ,
manufacturing capitalists, are incessantly in ;
jeopardy. In l?uropc, the redundant jmpu- |
lation, and great difficulty t?f procuring em- \
ployment, renders the ca|. italist bejnnd;
comparison more secure there, than he can ;
be here for half a century to come.
X. After nil, if it be right that manufac
ture* should be cncmragcel, let us at least
enquire whether they are not in the actual
:.tatc of thing* sufficiently encouraged.
The duties on importation of foreign i.r
title*.extend from US to percent. That
I-,, there is already a bounty in favor of the
honi" manufucturvr, from this source of a
bout JO per cent. Add to this the freight
whit h the importer pays, cqu d ou an ave
rage to five per cent : add to this the impor
ter's pr->fit, who sells to the sann class of
people who are the customer of the manu
facturer at home, 15 per cent ut the very
leant. That is, there is actual!) m the pre
sent circumstaiites, an average bounty of
50 pe; cent, in favor of the domestic manu
facturer of every imported article. If this j
oe not a tax on the consumer high enough
in all conscicnce, 1 know not where the le^i*- ;
lature is to stop, short of qbsolu*': prohihi- '
hition. What a contrast between coin- |
mcrcc nnd manufactures! The first, except !
when a war is wanted, nay# ' let us alone (
the constant outcry of the other, is, addition
al duties, additional prohibitions, pains and
penalties on our coinpecito s, nud monopoly
under the name of protection, for us ! Those
who have attended to the history of the |
wool ttade In Great Britain., know that the i
profits of the woollen manufacturers have i
chiefly arisen from their having worried and
teazed the government of that country into
a continued system of fraud upon the far
mer*. Not content with saying to the cred
ulous people, ' it Is your interest to buy your
goods from us, and to drive away all foreign
articles,' they have had the address tojier
suade parliament to prohibit the farmer from
selling his sheep and hi* woo) to foreigners
at a high price, in order that these jugglers
may buy it at ? low pri';e, or rather at tlieir
own price.
By and by we shall have petition* to con
gress, founded on the examine of Great Bri
tain, to prevent at from telling our wool at
a foreign market. In order to protect dome*

ed to think that tlUv hobby has been nearly
rod<* down. The'essence ol the s) stein 11 to
, tax the people, not u r the purporc* ol raising
money lor the public service, but for the
purpose of making jj-hhIs clearer. The ef

thrir superiority not by their own unassist

to the Influence which the popularity of Mr.
Adams had on our elections. By this alone,
were they able ft carry with them, in alt
the New-Kngland States, a very coiiMtlcra
ble numbt'r of republican votv.c lint w hen
Mr. Adams can no longer aid them in their
party objects, he is dismissed, not merely
with coldness and indifference, but with one
;,eni ral en of reproach and malcdietioit.?
With Mr. Adams we believe they will lose
the republican aid bv which they have risen
into power. New-Hampshire we have seen
already Iihs shaken ?.H the shackles of the
party und recovcd her Idierty. In Septem
ber we truct Maine* will follow her example,
liven in M.issuehusetts the Republicans who
have been long spell bound by the enchant- I
merits of federalism, are bursting their chains
and rtfcumuig their natural freedom of
thought and action. Before the lapiteof four
jears, Alt, Clay will see in Ncw-Knghuid a
state of parties very difTc rent from what is
e xhibited at the close of Mr Adams' Admin
istration. Indeed he ban less to hope for in
New-Kngland than in ail) part of the union,
unless it be the South. J
We would ask the republican* of this State,
who have supported Mr. Adam*, whether
they arc disposed to attach themselves to
the fortune of Mr. Clay, Identified ns he
necessarily is with the federal party of New
Knglaud' Whether they will still continue
to Act with the federal party, with whom
they united solely because they supported
Mr. Adams, now that the puny pursue Mr.
Adams with every species of reproach und
denounce him m every form of contumely f
Home who have formerly acted with the te

Tl? ?i|',n?r.f the times, as they present
themselves to us, seem to indicate a lo.uing
storm for those engaged in domestic manu

an absolute necessity that they should act in

protect their interests from the combined at

of the anti-tarillites, all ??> m.-st clearly to
show that measures arc in progress to reduce
the duties on domestic manufacture*. Such

i1it Southern 7fcv/citf.?The tuxth num
ber of thil? journal ha? reachidun, and scema,
from the slight reading, which Is all that
we have yet been able to bestow on it, to
possess its accustomed number of interesting
and well written articles. The pieces which
have given us the most pleasure, are those
on " Wiihelm Mcistcr," " Parr and Parrl
ana," and " Modern Gastronomy." The
-first is an elegant and acute criticism on one
of the most delighful specimen* of German
literature, that translation has made acces
sible* 10 us. Wilhelm Mcistcr isunqucstion
ably the production of a man of genius : and
although it betrays modes of life,and feelings
and opinions, that ure not a little startling
to our English notions, the truth and vivac
ity with which the lilc.of an actor is paint
ed, and above all, the exquisite a iticisms on
the drama, and the disquisitions on urt, are
admirable.
The review of Parr and Parriana, fixes,1
we think, with great justice, the actual mer
it of the odd, vain old pedant. The account
of !.i? life is exceedingly amusing ; and the
whole article, in itscusy veinot |,rave pleas* ;
nntry, and unnflccUd learning and taste, j
discovers the bund that wrote the life of,
Witteiibach, in a former number. Modern !
Gastronomy in treated very umusingly and
kuowiii|;ly, and with an abundance of that
curious skill, with which wit and learning
seem, in their freaks, especially to delight
in exulting and adorning the npiccan art.
Tiie reading of it quite refreshed us. The
very leaves of the book seemed to us to send
forth such odours as Milton says, salute the
wave-tost and (we presume) hungry mari
ner, that smells the good things on land, us

The Baltimore Republican, which lin*
nlwa> s been a bold ami fearless print, threat
ens to undertake the exposure of the real
facts which do exist for the Justification of
certain removals by the President. W?
should like to see the sketches of life, in
stead of fancy,\n regard to some of the Pre
sident's removals, which have afforded the
two Nationala at Washington the opportuni
ty of high-toned appeala to public syrapa
phy and commisseration. It la ungenerous,
unjust, unphiloaophlcal, to condemn the con
duct of Ucn. Jackson In advance, before wo
arc in possession of the grounds of his pro
ceedings, thus far represented only by the
fanciful declamation of his traducer*, who
are predetermined to abuse him, right or
wrong. Mr. Clay, we apprehend, Is deter
mined to make an effort, a last and despe
rate effort, for the Presidency, in opposition
to Ucn. Jackson, or any body else, at the
succeeding election. He was, accordingly,
careful to sound the note of preparation at.
the very moment that he made hiaexitfrom
the theatre of wnrfatc; in the very centre
of the enemies camp. Ho infused his gall
into every vein and artery of his organised
adherents. Seizing upon the excitement of
the south against the oppression which he
ha? largely contributed to inflict upon us,
and associating Gen Jackson with the fearful
omens which he has discovered here, he hu*
attempted to rullv around him the heteroge
neous elements of the tariff Interests? the an
tagonist compound of the " American sys
tem." He has a right to this. CJen. Jdck
&on should not dispute his claim to head tho
phalanx which he has hitherto conducted in
the business of buthering the constitution of
our father*, the commerce of the country,
and the great interests of the republic.
Wc had hoped that lie would appear in
Congress at its next session?to afford thn
republican party and the patriotism of the
land the op|H>rtunity of cnishing, at one
blow, 1 lent y Clay and " the bill of abomina
tions."
