Mr., Degrand's last Report contains some
very pertinent remarks upon the subject Of
National Industry, Agriculture, Commerce.
&c. from which we extract the following
Such being the light in which view A
gricuture, Manufactures aud Commerce, it
gives me great pleasure to perceive the ef-
forts which many able and leading men are
making in favor of Agriculture and of Manu-
features Among other arrangements, can
not help noticing with peculiar sa tisfaction
the fact of 5000 signatures. many of them
men of fashion, having been 1oiuniarily and
spontaneously affixed in this town, to an "a
greement, TO clothe themselves in American
Cloth, during the present year. 1t is pro-
Ject which does much honor to the gentlemen
who started it. Having myself signed that
agreement, have the pleasure of wearing
most beautiful blue sur,out, of Crownn-
shields Manufacture.
But while We encourage American A.
gr!culture and American Manufactures, be-
cause they will give profitable employment
to our own citizens, ought we to throw out
of employ hall million at least of our own
citizens, who now derive a comfortable ex-
istence from being employed in the carrying
trade Is net one of these proposals in d.
rect opposition 10 the other We say we
have many men who cannot find employment
and Thy the proposal 10 abolish drawbacks
we propose to give up all the carrying trade,
and thus, at one fell swoop, to throw half
million OF industrious people out of employ.
Is the man who feIls, in the woods, the
timber of which the ships are built, that are
employed in the carrying trade are the
ship carpenters, the caulkers and gravers the
blacksmIths and thousand other tradesmen
that build the ships, to be cut off, as unwor-
thyol the protection of their country Is
the interesi of the AgricultuI aiist who raise
the provisions and otheI products OF the earth,
consumed and sold in consequence OF the
Carrying Trade, to be dlsregarded? Are
the Manufactures of Cordage, OF Blocks and
Pumps and of thousand other Things which
find a vent, in consequence OF the carrying
Trade, any less worthy Of the protection OF
our common country than the Manuta ctures
of Cotton and Wooden Cloths Must we
deprive ofhis daily bread the brave lseaman
who, with doxen vessels, wrested, al our

Britain and her thousand ships What
crime has he committed that he should be
made an outcast, by the country whose iag
he has covered with glory ?

From the Philadelphia Union. jan. OF
THE VERMONT PILGRIMS.


The article which fellows is from the
pen of a friend, on whose information
VIC can rely.-Wc have seen an article
extracted from a Carlisle paper, pur.
porting to he some account of the Pill
gran,s,' who, some time ago. attracted
50 much of the public attention. That
account informs us of their arrival at
Pittsburgh embarking thence in a
boat landing on an island somewhere
in the Ohio river 1.-The dcsertion OF
their chief, or prophet and the conse-
quent distresscs Of his followers. But
lhe person who gave this information
was undoubtedly misinformed him
self.
1t may he remembered that in the
spring Of 1916, it was announced IN
The Eastern j urnals, that singular
sect calling Themselves "Iilgrims," had
associated together in Vermont, and
we're then travelling to the southwest
ward. In their journey through the
New England States, where gosspping
surely is thought 10 siu, their course,
their conduct, and their motives were
debated upon, and speculated into, by
every village and city journal, to the
prodigious qualification of the less busy
Southerns, who have long and always
depended upon their Eastern cnrrespon-
dents for news These Editorial &C
counts we're transcribed throughout the
States, from Maine to Savannah---f from
New York to st. Louis and the " est
ern Country was on tip-tee for the re-
ception of the strange visitors.
Though the interest with which they
were formerly regarded has in de-
gree subsidized, perhaps some further &C
count will be read.
Tie Pilsrims' arrived at Pittsburgh
in the autumn Of 1916, and were ac-
eommndated for the time with an out
building belonging to Mr.. Il. The
genei al curiosity of that city was excl
ted upon their arrival, and every one
was anxious to be gratifed with the
sight of so novel a sect. Some, that
were more curious and who suspected
the sincerity Of their religion, watched
them, unobservcd, at hours when it
might be supposed they would commit
themselves: nor were they disappointed.
Many anecdotes are related of them in
Pittsburgh, which would represent them
