From the Virginia Free Press

II is really amusing to witness the effects Of
prejudice upon some OF the editorial fraternity.
Because their hope were blasted in the Pres-
dental election, nothing which MIR CLAY can
do or say is even passable in their eyes. For
eighteen months the charge of corruption has
been bandied,ag against him, without the shadow
Of evidence, and when he condescends to notice
the yenemous ribaldry with which he has been
assailed, he is then pronounced guilty of egot-
ism. Of whom would these gentlemen have
him to speak? Has he no, the privilege COM
mon to the accused in any case? The trutn is,
his remarks at the Lewsburg dinner are ire
sistible ard unanswerable, and will be so coh-
sidered by every impartial mind, in spite Of the
low slang Of splene,lc bar-room politicians and
disappointed partizans.
II is not our wish, generally, to NEEDLE with
matters Of the sort, but when we see such In
veteracy of feeling manifested towards one Of
the greatest men Of our country, one who has
shown genius how to triumph over every OBJ
stacle, and who has materially aided IN the Gle
walton of our national character, we cannot re-
frain from noticing The want OF llberality, The
lack OF common justice, which seem TO charac-
terise the conduct Of MIR. C.'s assaiants
Let him go on, needless OF the asperslons
which are now thrown upon nlIn 'liS Cidide-
ter will outlive misrepresentation His coun'
try never can forget his eloquence, or his SER
vices. And though, like many patriots OF other
times, he may suffer contumely and reproach
from portion of those whose rights he has
INDICATED, sober national gratitude will not let
his fame be furnished

have carried lumber 10 the West India Islands
at cheaper rate, with the advantage of sugar
cargoes home, than it would have been possible
for ships ofthe United States TO carry those ar
ticles from England to America, or lumber
from Anne rica to our West India Islands.
The Americans are perfectly aware of this. and
continue to enforce their regulation. though
ours was never acted upon, and 5y the 9Th of
Geo. a, has been repealed The result 10 the
Planters is, that instead of getting their Ameri-
can supplies carried to them, al low freight,
by the ships that bring home their produce,
they must depend upon American vessels, and
as these generally return home in ballast, they
must have such an outward freight, on the
lumber, as will pay the whole expense Of the
voyage, while many of the English ships, (by
which it might so well have been carried, at a
very moderate freight,) are going out to the l.
stands In BALLAST
"But this is not ALL the trade between the
British West India Colonies and the United
States is clogged with other restrictions, not
likely TO be easily removed. Both the Act of
1922, and that OF 1895, imposed duty on all
articles, the growth, produce, or manufacture,
of the United States, imported into our Colo
mics; while the same articles, imported from our
duty free ! do not say that this is unre asona-
bic on our part; far from it; but it is deemed 50
by the Americans, and met by aretalatory reg
ulation, equally injurious to our Colonies, and
10 our shipping Thus, while ship of the u.
States entering port in Jamaica, pays no
higher, or other charges, than an English ship
entering port of the U. States, from Jamaica,
is subjected 10 an extra tonnage duty ofont dol
lar perto and to an additional duty Of ten per
cent on the value Of the cargo, which, in effect,
gives their own shipping an advantage in their
freights exactly 10 that amount over British YES
sells"
1t would be superhuous to Offer word Of
comment on the facts here stated; they speak
for themselves, and show that we have not been
fairly treated. Respecting the claim of the
United States to have their produce admitted
into our West India Colonies, on the same
terms as the produce o. our own North Ameri-
can provinces, Mr. Justly observes, SIT would
not be more unreasonable to insist on the wheat
of the United States being received into Eng
land, on the same terms as the wheat NJ Canada,
or in us TO insist on The sugar of jamaica being
admitted into the por, of New York, on the
same terms as the sugar of Louisiana.
1t is understood, though not yet officially an
nounced, that John A King, Esq. has resigned
his situation as secretary of legation near the
Court of ST James. and that William Beach
Lawrence, Esq, of this city has been appointed
his successor, who will shortly sail for England
to enter upon the duties of his Office Mr. Law
renee has always been highly respected among
