IA sonic of our last -numbers we itisekhkftite

Tice advocates of the Orion have desired us to
advert to di, items of the Custom-boas. &mines.—
lye bare obeyed the mandate, and the result has
toren edit we have already staled.
n'i; ally be told how Amerieai consistent with
her real 64 growing prosperity," exports raw ma.
taws, and Wiwi: manufactures. To this we
answer, that America is an infant elate, whose in-
habitants are not sdficienily nuaseroste to consume
its
provisions. But we also beg permission to as.
ore 11r. Pose and Mr. Forfeits that as potatoes

tutuirt on yams and buttermilk.
yot we repeat, and challenge refutation, our
woad aryl imports present the hideous picture of
a p •,,ptu of whom a great portion must necessarily
b. inerfretly or uttprotitably employed, and con.
inadequate to purchase and use the meat
producrit on the fertile soil of Ireland. When our
civersaries boasted so loudly, and insisted so
roily on the state of our trade, they little con-
ceived the inference to be deduced, and the result
to be proved, from even their ozon statements.
Now, Jew, we have thee nu the hip."

I ray drove of cattle impelled towards the Cus.
totn.house, deprives the vegelable.fetl people o f
Ireland not only of ao much meat, but also of their
hider, fat, wool, horns, &c. which should be ma-
nufactured in that country; while the flesh, being
purchased with the earnings of the manufacturer,
should also by him be eaten in Ireland. We
will not affirm, that per no case provision should
be exported, or manufactures imported ; bu
of this we are assured, that the exportation
of the first, and the importation of , the lat.
ter, should, to place the country in a elate of
rr Growing Prosperity," be considerably reduced.
It the wretched peasants who, to pay hie rent, is

toes (according to Mr. FOSTIR, his " foitourite
food"), could be plaeed.iii a situation to earn good
• wages, the bacon of the aforesaid pig, instead of
Witt sent to the Custom-house • and entered for
exportation., would be' eaten *by his children.--
Though per.adventure this process might diminish
the items in the books of the surveyor—Su, no,
the thing will not answer. The Irish people may
be starred, but they will not be brow.beSten into
'a surrender of their sensor.
• If hunger, as has been asserted, ccrntribetes to
.sharpeu the wits, our 64 Patriots" would do well,
ere they attempt to impose on the inhabitants of this
country, to fill the bellies of their' audience ; possi-
bly that which had replenished their bodice, might
• alio proportionably debilitate their understanding—
wlienif ineapable,frout abstract reasoning, to appre-
eiste the benefits of the Union, at least " crammed
with profitable food," they might learn to feel
'than and as en:ply bodies- generally emit most
.13jad, so the Irish peasantry, once filled, might be
Nxett to be silent, and acquiesce in the LT NION.
