plausible, is often very fallacious. We
have the strong basis Of fact to rest on
There is no country 10 Christendom, where
manufactures have been carried TO great
Ter extent than in England proper. There
fore in no other country could the exper-
Iment be more accurately made; aud there
the question has been fairly decided. Col

this authority there can hardly be any
appeal.
1t is asserted that 1t would be perni-
Icious policy, to entice away capital aud
iabour from agriculture to workshops.
This apprehension is wholly groundless.
Farmers or planters rarely transform
themselves into manufacturers. There Is
in this country vast amount Of capital,
for which the owner cannot, 10 the present
deranged state Of our affairs find any emsS
lployment. But, were there any assurance
Of adequate protection to manufactures, it

those objects. There are likewise great
numbers Of persons, skilled in the cotton
and woolen branches, who are destitute
Of employ and who could abundan'ly
supply the demands of the United States,
we're they duly encouraged. We have
already stated, that the greater proportion
of the labour is performed by old men,
women and children. Let us add, that
were those branches 10 such donrishing
state as to hold out inducements TO emf
