THE HARRISBURG CONVENTION
numerous meeting of the Farmers and Manu-.
faciuIers OF Rhode Island assembled at the State
house, in Newport on the IS uIt. and nominated
Messrs Asher Robbins Omitted States Ssna,orl
jeffrey Hazard, J Farnum, and ]. Rhodes as Dele.
gates 10 the Convention. They then sdoped re-
solution requesting their Delegates " to use ,bsir
influence TO have laid an additional duty on an i'm.
ported wool, and that said duty take place \, The
same time that the additional duty upon imno,tad
wopllens shall take place" a meeting of Farmers
and Manufacturers ct Vermont, assembled al
Portland on the 9Th ult. They were addressed nv
Mr.. H. e. Mallory, Representative in Congress.
and the advocate OF prohibtory Woosus Bill, J
and they appointed the following gentlemen ~
Delegates to the Harrisburg Convention. viz.
Messrs w. Jarvis, II. &. Mallory, E. Paine w
| Hall and Hiram Allen
| So far as the Convention is intended To onsr.,s
politically, the Signs are against the Admias,rs-
tion. ist Many OF the friends of the Tariff IN Penn
are altogether opposed to il -suspectins such 70
be it's object. by, Many of the manufacture,s
who have taken part in 1t, are infected with the
sane suspicion; viz. that it may be a scheme tn
lnJure the interests OF Gen. Jackson; and 3dIy the
people at large are very unwilling to see the Re-
| representatives. OF the East, participating in their
State concerns and attempting TO control the De-
mocrscy oil the State. That there are some polticaI
designs at the bottom of the Convention seems IN
be the sentiment OF both some of its enemies and
friends II Is alluded 10 in the resolutions of the
citizens oil Lancaster, aud by Messrs. Buchanan
! and McLean."- The same idea is held out bv The
Boston journal, which, in order TO Offset the tes-
mony OF Mr.. Walsh (who was lately in Boston
and repeatedly declared that Gen J. womb receiy a
the vote OF Pennsylvania produces letter from
Pennsylvana, which relies essentially on the re-
suits OF the Harrisburg Convention. Ii states that
" the manifestations of the opinions of the CITIZENS
oil pennsylvania Tor the few weeks last past are of
the most satisfactory character. The Manufac
turers' Convention, which is 10 meet at Harrisburg
TO- morrow WILL In ell probability, represent ty o.
thirds OF the wealth and population of the Common
wealth The meetings at which the delaoa,as
were chosen, have been well attended, and In eve =
ry instance but one, notwithstanding the opposition
OF the Jacksoni'es, the friends of the Admnistra-
ton carried every question:" But the results nj
| the preparatory Harrisburg Convention have disan-
pointed the Administrations Ii did not represent
half the counties in the State; and its members
were chosen by very small nnorities in each
county; and their proceedings are marked bv
| Jealousy among some OF the members, and by mo-
declarations OF attachment 10 the cause of the adj
ADMINISTRATIONS In truth, not the sg hi est in
dication OF wavering on tie part of Pennsylvania.
! All the Signs are against the Coalition Mr..
| Cheyes has come out unequiy ocaIly for GsneraI
jackson. There is not the slightest reason 70 be
lieve that the Cony enlion will operate in favor of
| Mr. Adams; and we have no doubt that Pennsyl.
vaEia snd Virginia will be united ior Jackson; The
! Harrisburg Convention, and The sly atternot of Mr..
Clay 10 disunite The States, to the contrary NOT
wiihsandng!
We cannot ce'se to protest against this Wool.
lens bill 1t IS contrary to the best received ptin
ciples OF political economy; to the spirit of the
Age; and shall it be said, that whilst Great B,-
ain Is relaxing her restrictions, tCe should be in
cTeasng our own? As she approaches the p,inci
pies OF Free Trade, shall we recede from them .
We observe by the last English papers that Sir T.
hnaichbull presented on The lS.h May, several
petitions tor protection 10 the Wool trade STATING
q" thai there was absolutely no market for Britis5
wool, and the whole stock of the last two wears
was on hsnd;'' and he wished 20 know whether HE
MsJesty's Ministers intended TO bring forward any
measure for the benefit Of the British wool erotv
ers? TO which MIR. Huskisson replied, tina, Is fo,
himself, he should certainly be surprised TO find
that any tax was proposed upon foreign wool
and he decidedly believed that no such measure
was intended" giving also his reason in
subsequent debate, that the Manufacturers
OF fine WoOllsn cloth in the Netherlands
were close upon the heels of the British, and
that ii fue w ools were excluded, they nigh,
rival them - Il is to be noted that within the
last three years. the British Parliament had yed,.
eed the duty considerably on eign woods
We all recOlleet what Glamour the silk-we ca

foreign silks; and how firmly MIR. Huski-son re-
