SALT AND IRON.

In case of war or non-ntercourse, the
supply of these articles, of extensive and
indispensable necessity, ought to be provi-
ded for by every means, which prudence
and foresight can bring into operation.---
The former has attracted the notice OF the
general legislature. AS it cannot be produ-
ced in sufficient abundance at present, by
domestic industry and sapital, the stern sys-
TEN Of embargo will probably be relaxed in
order to obtain it though we are sensible
that the intention to renew duty so pro-
ductive as that upon salt, must censplre to
extort this amelioration from the hard hearts
ofthe majority in congress.
No external gift Of heaven to man, ex-
ceeds iron in usefulness. Il is the instru-
ment for producing most of his comforts
and his luxuries. Without it, he could not
be formidable in war, nor respectable IN
peace for the numerous arts, which dlstln-
guish civilized society. His sagacity could
not, if he was destitute of iron, completely
subject to his dominion and render subser-
Went to his use all inferior animals. 1t
may be considered as the pondrous arm,
and the delicate hand, bv which he moves,
modifes, penetrates, and shapes into forms
the most useful or the most exquisite, the
immense kingdom Of inanlmate matter.
Yet for this article in its crude or more
imperfectly manufactured state we are in
some measure indebted to foreign nations.
1t therefore behoves the state legislatures
to encourage its production and manutac-
ture in those sections of our country, where
the mineral is to be found, and only awaits
the approach OF enterprise, to yield an "a
bundant supply.

KRNNEBECK RIOT.

We understand that upon the high Sher-
if of Kennebec county, having made appli-
cation to Gen. Scwall for military force to
preserve the public tranquility, the men who
had embodied to oppose the laws have
mostly dispersed. When democracy held
the government ofthis state, and the people
were blessed with democratic governor
and council, like attempt of the Sheriff Of
Kennebec, and the civil and military oficsrs
to preserve the peace, Was deemed by the
"people loving" rulers ofthat day, IS evil
dence of corruption and want Of patriotism,
and sheriff Lithgow was dismissed from
Office for not countenancing mob-riotism.
It will soon be known whether Gov. CoRE
and his Council will follow the patriotic ex-
ample set by their democratic predecessors,
and dismiss Sheriff Chandler and those who
have assisted him, from office, because
tbev have dared to support The laws Of the
state.
Portland gazette and Maine advertiser. (Portland, Me.) 1805-1818, 1809-10-16

But ss the writer or tic "Card" may
wish to figure again as an author, we
will dismiss this subject forthe present
with word Of advice. II you have
hired money al 6 10 or &c per cent. go
like an honest and honorable man and
pay it (if in your power) and IL you
think the practice of giving more than
per cent interest, operates as pablo
evil, rs ii undoubtedly is a most dis
tructive one, never do business in
that way yourself, nor all your friends
in such illegal trans. ctions.
On the other hand, should any one
be ofopinion that he can do himself or
the public benefit by pleading the
statute in bar of a debt, We have not the
least personal objection to his going
into court and doing it. In that place,
the circumstances relating to both
debtor and creditor will be made to ap-
pear, and the injured party will not fail
Of obtaining justice.
But discussion of the subject Of u
sury upon general principles, is very
different from personal, invectise, ard
determinations, when interviewer with
private transactions.
