We republish al the request OF a respectable gen
tleman, the report of a committee OF the citizens oil
New Bedford, concerning the decline OF the Whale
Fishery. This is branch Of the national industry,
for which we have always felt not merely respect,
but admiration, and whose national value do not
appreciate less than correspondent. We have
not forgotten Butke's magnificent description of ii
in his speech on Cancellation with America, nor
The enlightened and imposing views of Mr.. Adams
presented on The occasion of his controversy with
Mr.. Russell. Butwe have not much confidence in
the efficacy of additional duties foreign imports,
for the national interests in the matter oil common
profit and loss and find it doubted in intelli-
gent quarters Boston whether the citizens OF New
Bedford be right as to the cause which they assign
for the depression OF their trade. Mr. Degrand says
in his useful Weekiy Report
So far from their having been driven from the
home market by the importation Of candle !allow
and Of candles, and by the candles manufactured
| ffom imported talow, my own observation Qrom
long attention to The subjec) has led to the con
clusion that the good people of New Bedford and Of
Nantucket have gradually driven wholly out of use
in the United States all imported candles, and al
candles made from imported taow. BY push
ling their valuable pursuit much farther, they have
lextended the fisheries as to go entirely beyone
the wants Of The country even after monopolIzinf
the whole consumption of the country, and thereby
they have ruined their own very profitable employ
lment."
We trust, however, and fully expect, that the re
presentation from New Bedford will be attentivel!
and kindly heard by Congress. The prosperity o
the Whale fisheries is not simply question OF pc
Ilticai economy-t is connected with the formation
Iof the best seamen, the spirit OF hardy and remote
enterprise, and other points sensibly affecting tn
security and reputation OF the American people.
