L F From the durora.
The federalifts, ever on the watch
to discover something to find fault
with and gratify their spleen, are not
over delicate as to the means they use.
"They make bold assertions at random,
and when refuted and driven from
their positions, their modelty seldom
deters them from (imilar attemipts on
another fubje@. In general their cav- -
-tlings ave so truly contemptible, that
they are themselves the iurelt antidote
to the mifchief they intend to effz&.
The late deficiencies in tha United
States treasury in consequence of the
reduced state of our trade, has, not
failed to call forth all their abuse. The
occasion was too inviting to be neg
leéted and it would seem as if for once
they had gained their point, A gen
eral acquicefcence in tkeir fophilticated
dedultions, seems to condemn the lait
and present administration so com.
pletely, that no fiiend dare appear in
their defence—the charge stands con
fefled to its full extent.
The fa& is doubtless true, that a
great deficiency (compared with pre
ceding years) exists, and unfortonate
ly there is little appearance of an early
change. Itis no less true, that tax
es mult wholly or in part, supply the
deficiency, that government may
continue in operation, and its credi
tors be pun&aally fatisfied. But set
ting aside what is also undoubtedly
true, that the deficiency has proceed
ed from the decrease of our commerce,
and this latter from the unjalt and res
trictive orders and decrees of the bel
ligerents—setting aside this confidera.
‘tion, which removes the blame from
our own government, does the above
fa&t imply any loss to the country ?
Are we really losers to the extent of
what the treafary has {affered ? I con
fidently fay no—and that on the con
trary, the country gained by that cir
cumstance. '
From what source has our govern
ment hitherto been supplied with the
,means of paving the expences ne:
ceflarily attending it ? The answer is
ready in every mouth, commerce.
And who have dovoted themselves to
its pursuit, that they might be enabled
to pay a willing and patriotic tribute
to their country ! certainly the mer
chants—What ® ingratitude ! That
a body of men (o liberal and ufeful
should be basely {landered, and even
charged with violating the laws of a
country they so carefully cherifth and
support. Attrated to a closer inspec
tion of this agreeable fubjeé, all our
admiration vanishes at the discovery;
that this {plendid mantle of virtues,
‘conceals frail humanity, with all its
imperfe@tions—~—mere felf-intereft is
working, where we thought patriotifin
was the {pring. The merchant takes
particular care, that he is repaid his
advances to government, and does
not omit, when felling his articles, to
charge the duty and even small ad
vance upon it.— The duty is thereforé
eventually paid by consumers, that is
by the people at large, who are thus
uncon{cioufly paying a tax to govern
ment. This wonderful deity, com- -
nierce, which its votaries would repre
sent as (Midas like) converting all its
touches into gold, poflefles then no
other charm than that of drawing un- .
coofcioufly a tax froms otr pockets.
Itis not the philosopher’s Rone that
creates the precious mewal, but imply
a tax gatherer in disguise, who being .
no longer able to ferveiwill be succeed
ed by one of less courtly manners who
bluntly tells his business. With the
loss of commerce you do not lose the
fountain of wealth, on the contrary
,it flows more abundantly. The ap-.
‘parent {ofs - carries with it a re.
al gain.” For every dollar of duty
paid into the treasury, fix are paid to
foreigners, and for e'v,éry million of -
dollars thus colie@ed by government,
~fix millions in mooey, or what is e
quivalent, goes out of the country to .
pay for the articles ot which the cus
tom is levied. Suppoﬁng thgeinﬁead
of the reduced importation now ex
ilting, it were entirely cut off, we ei
ther dispense with the use of the ar
. ticles ﬁgportcﬂ,‘}“aud so {ave the cost of
them, or make at home and employ
~our own people and our own capitals. .

ren rock, subsisting on what little trade
the bounty and !suity of foreign na
tions permitted v:. and which we held
by the precariov” ::nure of their indul:
gence. He coulidl never imagine that
such miserable i s and furbodings,
existed in the Li-irts of'a people pof
fefling a fruitfa! 7uil, anextenfive ter:
ritory and every variety of climate—
that a people cidewed by Heaven
with.its choicefl gii iz could tremble
with the ‘appribenfion’sf Lumen de
signs against their profpericy.
Were he informed of our real situ.
ation, he could not but be reminded
of a man who pampered with indul
gence, harraflss with 2 thounfand im
aginary diilreffes and idle fears,
We have adopted the supposition,
that our importaion i to continue at
its present reduced rate, or to be en
tirely done away. But supposing it
should unexpeéedly tefume its former
consequence—in this case at all events
an evident loss is {ultdined, since du
ring the partial fofpenfion of trade,
a -consequent diminition has been felt
in the receipt of customs—-Such would
be the conclusion of a hasty observer,
and such the assertion of a caviller dis
posed to find fauit. But it will not
bear the test of a minutes’ refle@ion.
The importers of this country are
not {o miserably ignorant or blind to
“their own interests, 25 to limit and
keep down their fiock of goods to the
-demand ofa few months—on the con.
trary mofi of them, though importing
annually, what may be about a year’s
demand or a little more, have always
remaining of previous importations,
a quantity fufficient for their cuftom
“ersfor 2z or 3 years. On this extra
stock, the duty is already paid, and it
plainly follows that the importers are
ufuzlly in advance to government,
for the duties on merchandize that
will not be consumed for 2 or 3 years,
and that government does in this way
constantly anticipate its means.
.. When a temporary f{ufpenfion of
_trade takee place, what is the conse
quence ? A decreafeis found in the
the treasury receipts, but as soon as
this suspension ceases, the increased
importation supplies that deficiency——
for the market,more than ufuallybare
of goods,will immediately be supplied
with its usual stock. This effe& is to
be attributed not to the forefight or
premeditated plans of cur merchants,
anxious to restore things to their old
situation, but to the {pontaneous effort
of trade, which, when unincumbered
by reltritions, uneringly finds its
proper level—-The increase of receipt
of customs attending this increased
importation, will therefore replace the
previous deficiency.
The fubje& in every view of it, pre
sents nothing alarming to us, notwith
standing the clamors of men willing
to adopt every shallow device to cry
down a republican administration and
accomplith their base views.

- limportant Discovery.-An intelligent
~ and respectable correspondent informs
~ us, that there bas lately been found in
-the northern partéof this state, a fingu
~lar kind of clay, which by the heat of
~ fire, is converted into pure, fine tran
{parent glass. -~ The peculiar proper
ties of this clay were thus acciden
tally discovered. Last summer, while
'MrGeorge Scriba was building a grist
mill at Rotterdam, on the Oneida
~ Lake, in digging a canal for the flume,
the workmen came to a bed of clay,
of which, however, no notice was then
taken. In the month of November,
a stove was put up in the mill, for the
~ benefit of the men who were employ
ed in finifhing the interior of the build
ing. Finding the house soon filled
with smoke, the workmen applied
this clay to the crevices of the Rove
pipe. lunthe course of a few hours,
the clay had diféppeared, and on ex
amining the ove, they found that the
clay had been converted into fine and
pure giafs. Since that discovery {ev
eral experiments have been made, to
ascertain the qualities of this new kind
of earth. Two lettets have been re
ceived briefly stating the result. -
One of them fays—* The imelted
clay as it was poured out of the cruci
ble appeared of the confiltence of mo-
Jafles ; and when it had cooled, it
proved to be clear and beautiful glass,
of a green tinge and so strong that it
was with difficulty broken with the
hand.” ~
"Che other letter fays—¢ I prepar
ed a little furnace before a blackimith’s
belio ws,&blew one hour,when I found
the clay well melted, and in a fluid
state, so that it run out of the crucible
in firings, as thick as a firaw, and
produced solid glass which could be
thus drawn from three to 6 four feet
long.” o *
As thisis an entire new discovery,
- it will no doubt receive thie attention
of the chymifts and mineralogists of
our country. [N. York Com. Ad. .

[ The Republicans of the Uniied

virulently abused, for aflerting that
the okjec? of the Orders in council if
