and Joseph 6. Rowland was appointed secretary.
The lowing resolution were then adopted

meeting. the true and obvious policy of this nations
that the truth of this proposition every day demon
strated, by the nourishng condition Of every portion
of our country where manufacturing establishments
are in successful progress, condition not confined
to the manufacturer himself but participated in by
every other branch of industry within the sphere Of
| its influence, and especially by the Farmer--thus

and that while we cordially approve of the policy,
we entertain no doubt Of the constitutional power
of Congress to legslate upon subject, which was
deemed peculiar object Of their care by Washing

which Congress has exercised the right Of llegisa-

of the Constitution itself, of Washington, Hamilton,

sion of Congress, entitled An An act for the alter.
alton Of the acts imposing duties on imports We
regard it measure peculiarly calculated to pro-
mote the interests of the agriculturast and the
manufacturer, by the protection it secured to the
manufacturer Of coarse wooens and to the produce
of the raw material.
1t protected the manufacturer, not by materially
increasing the duty, but by fixing the value in such
manner as to defeat the frauds and evasi0ns. by
which the revenue had been diminished and the man.

by an increase of duty on the foreign material SO
gradual as to keep pace with the gradual increase Of
the means Of production.

before any of the volumes can be published. The ma
ture and extent of the work, are such to make it
particularly proper thatit should be published by sub
scrption, as the public aread sufficiently infor-

could not well take the risk of such an edition as
will supply the demand, without having some assur-
ance of the extent of that demand. 1t is therefore
intended not to print greater number of copies
than shall be subscribed for. and consequently a
considerable length oftime must eapse to afford op,

The charge made against Mr.. Clay, that he had
promised to elect General Jackson in an hour provi-
ded Mr.. Adams was not retained as the head OF the
Department of State, has been fatty contradcted
by that gentleman, and not the slightest attempt to
sustain it has been essayed Time enough has eiaps-
said nothing to support the charge made as was sald'
by himself. We may then number it among the
famous lies of the day-the furniture of the Pres-
dents house-the purchase the billiard table, and
the many others promulgated for some effect. We
recur to this accusation simply to remind the reader
that not title of evidence has been adduced to es-
tablish it. The Fayetteville Observer has been cal
led upon for names--the Virginian who wrote the
letter has been called upon to ayow hmselt-tiene-
