the means of comfortable subsistence in
food and clothing; and this injury is not
much felt in Russia or inTurkey. The an
nul taxes in Russia average 50 II; in
Spain 50 as; in France S5 IS; in Great
Britain Sl2 %, and in the United States
s.. In Turkey the taxes are probably no
heavier than in Russia. In both these na-
tions the abourers fare very well, and in
Turkey they have much independence of

When John cnmmins, Esq. was chosen chair.
man, and augustus M Schce appointed secretary.
The meeting being organized, the following
resolutions were presented and read:
ResOlped, That this meeting view with deep
concern the progress in the National Legislature
of the bill, entitled ga bill to amend the several
acts for imposing duties on imports p because
in the opinion of this meeting its operation must
necessarily be 20 raise the price upon the farmer,
Of such articles as he will be compelled to pur.
chase; to cut off the demand for, and conse-
quently to destroy the value Of the products Of
his farm, upon which he must solely rely for
means of payment; to load him with direct tax
for the support of government which is sacriii-
clEg the national revenue for the benefit OF
comparatively small class of our citizens; and
therefore to complete the ruin of the already de-
pressed agricultural interests Of our country.
Rcsoiced, That in the opinion of this meeting
the present regulations of the duties on imports
are such give to the manufacturing, decidedly
| she advantage over every other class of the com
munity; and although it may be true that there
are some branches of manufacture which cannot
be sustained, under existing circumstances. it is
equally and universally true that the cultivator of
the soil is not remunerated for the labor and ex-
pense he bestows upon it and that the mechanic
must share in the calamites of the farmer This
meeting considers the proposed alterations in the
National Tariff as measure not only ruinous TO
agriculture, but destructive 10 commerce, and
unequivocally at variance with the true policy of
our government.
ResOhed, That copy of these resolutions be
signed by the chairman and secretary Of this
meeting, and forwarded tc our Senators in Con-
gress, who are hereby requested to Use their best
efforts for the purpose of svcrting this threatened
national calamity
On motion, the foregoing resolutions were a
dopted.
After which it was
Iesoircd, That the votes of the citizens now
Assem- led, on the subject of the next Presiden,
of the United States, be taken by John Many and
John Adams, csquircs, in boxes for the purpose
and that the said votes be read out and published
this day. And that afterwards the said boxes b,
kept open for the reception of other votes unit
the 25th Of May next, at which time all the vote
shall be published.

men put off from the shore in canoe. On ap

dog from those relics were vain. neither would
he suffer any one to come near him. The party
returned to the shore, shortly after which the
bag was no longer visible. On Friday that part
of the ice on which the dog was, separated from
the main body, and on its floating down the rvel
