Tobacco La,rs Of England and M. Ran

Randolph well as that of all those Interested in
the growth ofthe staple article of the great states
OF Virginia and Kentucky, tina, it should not re-

The word "uohbed" is used in this paragraph
because it is deemed not misapplied in a case
where article which only costs 8 3 dollars in
the country producing it, is the case with this
article in Anerica,--is, when imported into Eng
land, subject to duties of 20 dollars on the dol
lar cost more than 1900 per cent. The conse-
quence has been To couiine the use of tobacco
among the rcli-ahout l-20 of its population.
This may account for Mr.. r. s frequent visits TO
that country, and his last coaHng speeches. Should
ne succeed in opening the eyes OF the British min
islry TO the injustice of thus shutting out from
their kingdom one of the staples of our country
he will at least have done some service to the
country in general, although he may have been
opposed to the particular administration of indvid-
ual men.
1t is most surprising that the two great states
above named have not particularly instructed their
representatives in Congress On the British inter
