The Bill to allow an adoiti,n.al 'drawback on im-

potted sugar d in the ct untry, an ! exported, has
at I •ngth passed the House or Repiescititives, by a
lafge majority. The debate en ti e qoestion elicited
much of the talent of the House. The sAme question
WU., a few years ago, pie.ented to the S. nate rty Mr.
D • Wolf, in his B ll to allow a drawback on the et:.
pottati: n of duck, manufactured born lo•eign hemp.
Mr. De Wolf's pr. piisition was then opposed by the
same arguments which were urged ou this os (a-inn
against Mr. C4mbeileng's Bill; and at tha: time the
jealousy and iynotance of the I stop growing States,
added to the timidity. of the commercial and m •nulaca
times

presenratises from the sugar }t rowing Sretes ap.,rowed
the dray: back, as did a number of the southern rest ic.
tinnist.s. The sugar growers, if se-fried, took no the
strange idea; that the encoui agement or tr.e r sport n
of foreign sugar discouraged to consumption id d 5-
mestit sugar.
