The following short passages Of the Speech OF
Mr.. HusKIssoN, who moved plan tor reduction
OF duties, in the British House oil Commons, are
amusing as well as instructive.
He proposed TO reduce the duties on metallic
substances first, the duty on foreign iron from o.
los to IT, l0S Since he had gwen the nmation
he had seen many iron masters, but they all seemed
10 think that freedom of trade was excellent in all
branches, except in the iron ,radethere monopoly
was the best thing in the world. IA Laugh.) The
high duties, however, occasonlng orders to be
sent to Germany instead of England" The silk

ture in England French articles, TO be sent down
to the coast OF Sussex to be Struggled back ?

ALEXANDRIA, Oct. "a free negro man was
lately sold In Virginia, under receni law of the
legislature, a. slave during life for violation nf
some law. He however escaped from his purcha-
ser-but was apprehended in Georgetown in tins
district, and brought before the mayor--when the
negro, by counsel, plead the unconstitutouality of
he act and adduced proof that he was free born
The mayor thereupon refused to surrender him up

SO So il is the duty OF the legislator to find employ
ment for all the people; and if he cannot find them
employment in agriculture and commerce, he must
set them to manufacturing. il Is his duty 10 take
special care, that no other nation interieres with
their industry He is not to permit one half of the
nation to remain idle and hungry, in order that the
other half may buy goods where they can be had
cheapest"
What new tangled nonsense!--Yet this quo
tation furnishes one of the texts from which MIR.
Clay splendidly decoraies his brilliant speech of
political anomalies. Was it ever before thought,
that legislators had, at their command, productive
employment of any kind, for all the idle and
hungry people in the nation! Have legislators man
ufacturing establishments in which all the idle and
hungry can be empoyedl Have they the command
of productive labor in any fonn? Governments
have no command of productive labor-it belongs
to individuals. Ii the Author and his disciple,
Mr. Clay, have made The great discovery, that le-
gslators have fund OF productive labor, at their
command, sufficient TO give employment TO all the
idle and hungry people in the nation, they would
enttle themselves to greater plaudits, than were
ever awarded TO Fulton Watt or Bolton, for their
great invention in the application OF the power oil
steam to useful purposes They might also obtain a
greater premium for the patent of this great inven-
ton in political science, than ever was before
awarded for any invention whatever. What would
not the omnipotent British Parliament give for
this new and great addition TO its former onnipo-
tence? What would it not give for the new acces-
sion of power, TO set to productive manufacturing
shove one million OF sturdy paupers, out Of above
one and half million Of paupers, now in poor
houses, for want Of employment Of any kind?--
VIVA, would it not give for like power to SET to
work above FIVE hundred thousand sturdy beggac.
/ in Ireland, who now subsis, on private charity
| from want Of employment Of any kindl What
miserable folly y! what mischieyous new con-
ceits!'!
