Kentucky was in prosperity end credit il will De
remembered that every succeeding year gave new
evidences OF its iru,iuncss and industry; but so
soon as local circumstances changed her policy,
and her currency became deprecated, and her
laws retarded the recovery Of debts, industry and
confidence paralised; and with the exception
OF the articles of industry aforementioned, the peo
pie OF that State appear TO have abandoned that
terprize Of character, which, at one time, 30 sig
nalized them in the agricultural and commercial
pursuits.
Ohio has also beer sev erely distressed during the
same PERIOD in consequence of heavy overtrading;
yet she has been gradually increasing in agriculture
and commerce, not, however, to that extent wbich
one nigh, have expected from the number of her
free population.
This distress may be attributed in part to the hea-
w sacrifice of means aud CT edit she made in sup
port of her moned institutions, which, under the
most gloomy and embarrassing effects of her spec
| ulstions, she has maintained in full vigor.
! Illinois, Indiana and Missouri, have suffered
equally in land and other specua,ions, which
duced the mon,ed Institutions and the people of
these States almost the condition that OF
| Kentucky.
These are the facts. ii is believed, which have
/ re: aid-d the march OF industry and en.efpriZe in
| these several States, and TO which is to he
cribed their decrease OF trade In the cotton
growing States, viz: Louisiana, Mississippi, Ala
bama, Tennessee, prosperity has attended their
several exefions, and each succeeding year has pro-
duced perceptibe increase of their products
The augmentation in the quantity OF cotton raised,
EQUALS more than ten per cent. per annum.
The produce shipped from the several adjoining
States, (inclu;ing oSn) to New Orleans for
expectation, during the last year, as nearly can
be ascertained, folows:- 100000 bales
cotton, so 900 hhds. sugar, Is 600 do. molasses.
loo, 600 bis flour, 20 600 his tobacco, l5O, 900
bis. pork and lard, 10, 900 hds. bacon, SC. With
ste Load iran Be S-c
the lowest estimation, one thousand vessels of two
hundred and fifty tons burihen each, TO transport
it to other markets.
The State OF Louisiana, with population no,
exceeding three persons TO each square ,ue, pro-
duces more from its soil than any other section of
country in the Union. Its laws also more
summary and favorable TO the recovery of debts
than those of any other state. Nothing, it would
seem, is wanting render New Orleans, one of
the greatest commercial cities in the world, but an
enlightened oipora,ion-unfortuna,ely for US,
and the State at large, it will be half century
before tina, be had. Nothing but a tolal
change in the feelings and sentiments of the people
! who now misruIe the corporation concerns, can
| bring this even, about In the mean time, the
contemplated canals will be opened. and the half
o our trade will be driven into other channels
