fellow subjects--he will engage that the
same term, will be granted 10 them as to
foreigners, and that the intercourse with
the West Indies and the United States,
will not be re-opened for period OF ten
years.
Let this be done, and have no hesita-
ton IN stating that the colonies will be
found to possess ample means to supply ev-
cry article technically denomlnated bread
stutfs, IN such quantities, and at such pri-
ces, as shall leave no cause Of complaint TO
the West India planters"
The writer adGuces other considerations
To show 'he necessity OF erciuding the
shipping ofhe United States from the trade
Of those colonies" and the Importance Sin
POLITICAL point of view, of CLUBBING THE
GROWTH OF THAT PowER." This lam
guage entirely corresponds with that held
by the British ministers upon the subject
OF the colonial trade, since, contrary TO
their own pledge, they closed the door TO
negotiation by the order in council Of 1926.
IL Is not, as the factious opposition here
contend, that the United States have in.
sisted upon more than they had a right L.
demand; but TO curb the .Narai po,eer ofhe
United States, that they have taken this
course. And yet We have editors and DO
litlcians among us, calling themselves A
merlcans, baae and mean enough to con.
demn the administration for attempting TO
sustain the national character, by rejecting
what has been insultingly called A BOON,
proflered, according to the confession OF
the British writer's themselves, for lhe pur-
pose Of HUMBLING US.
There Is one point which seems to have
been lost sight Of in the mist which has
been raised upon this subject BY the
scrlbes OF the opposition. Had the humil.
iallng BOON been accepted, at the hands
OF the government which is so anxious TO

would have been greatly to iniure, if not
eHectually to destroy, the direct freigh,ipp
business IN American bottoms, betw cen the
United States and Great Britain. For
while American vessels would have been
restricted to direct trade, between our
ports and the West India Islands. the.
British shipping merchant would have DOS.
sessed the advantage Of making treble or
quadrnpe voyages. For example: a Brit.
lsh ship destined for Jamaica, might have
been frcighted from Liverpool to New
York, with cargo for this market. After

on dIscharging which, she could there take
IN cargo tor Liverpool; or, if the owners
pleased, Tor New. York, where she could
again have changed her cargo and taken
n cotton Tor Liverpool or other freight for
Lon'on or elsewhere. The consequence
OF these double, treble, and quadruple voy.
ages would have been to have enabled the
British shipper to take freight upon terms
so low as to drive the American ship own
er from the field of competition. And vet
the sage myst!fers Of the Post aud other
aIilllated presses, have the presumption to
denounce the administration as blunderipr
in It's diplomacy, and anti. commercial in iis
views. And for what? For its honest,
persevering, and efiectual endeayors 10
