Is is not nay Intention to enter into a discussion as to
tbesbare of blame which belongs to one class or another,
regard to the cause of the present miserable state of
our county; for is is not, be assured, Sir, the firming
interest that alone suffers. It is not my inteution to
blame jitriners, any more than tradesmen (who bare
lived like kJ ittiCUANTS); or Merchants (who have lived
like NueLes); or Manufacturers (who bare lived like
PRINCES): it is not• my intention to blame any elem.~
iti particular with regard to the past; but I do reedit,
decidedly blame you, and all who have influence seek se
that which you possess, for not now coining forward
when your influence would most certainly re eetablielv,
Mod ensure the lasting happiness and prosperity of your
Country.
The scheme which too propose for relieving the
Farmers would (to say nothing. of its Weskit towards
the other classes of society) be totally ineffectual. If
you know as much as I know of specu&tions, you would
sot think of recommending the ttuvIENMENT to become
Speculators. But let us see what would be the probable
+effect of what you recommend. It is given out the Go-
yrrninent is going to buy.—lmmediately the price ad-
vances to nearly the prescribed limit; for no one that
could hold but for a week, wired sell under such cir-
cumstances. But in poiut of feet who would be the
SELLERS to the Government Factors? Why the Jos-
anus to be sure, who would previously have become
possessed of the corn at the low price. Well; lite Go-
vernment Factors have bought the prescribed quantity,
:and what the*? You would make it compelsory on
;them to resell when the price should have risen to a
.given point. Bat, Sir, do you think it would ever reach
that point? Do you think that with the prospect of i
million of qoarters being thrown on the market, that the
price won'd ever reach the point you p • 'be as that
'beyond which it should nut go, namely, 6-Is.? But sup-
pose it possible; suppose it to take place; why, Sir, it
appear, to me that the price would immediately fall
below what it was before lie Government speculation
began; because there would then be a competition is
wiliest between the Goverotnent Factors and the Public :
consequently all the consequences of a sudden gist would
be esperieneed.—ln short, Sir, schemes of this sort
have been so often proposed, and proved to be futile, that
I should not bate noticed this, but for the hope which' I
lentertain that you will be ;educed to. look at the real
cause of the distress which ail classes feel, and be in-
duced to act accordingly. .
I. cannot conclude witlnset netideg the single objec-
tion which you see to the pies proposed by yeas which
is-of so extraordinary a nature that I cannot think you
serious; namely, the reloctance which the °ovum-
at err feels to interfere in the affairs of " any particular'
branch of the coraminsity." What, Sir! A Govern-
ment that keeps so close • watch upon the community

the Custonehonse here to submit certain females, known
by the nick name of Duffers, on their arrival from

on Friday last, when the packet arrived, it was disco-
vered that a numberof these women were on board, and
. the officers, i n consequence, were on the alert. As soon
as the packet was moored, a general rush was made by
the women to gain the quay (where there could nut be
less than 200 persons assembled to witness this scene);
they were opposed in their design by the odieers, who
were violently obstructed, and even essadlted. Ono fr.
male was so terrified, that she went off 'into hyste#irei
and was ultimately dragged on shore with bee apparel
much torn, and shrieking dreadfully. In this unplea-
sant business the officers behaved with great moderation
and succeeded in detaining several f
