position to the tariff and manufactures, to the gene
raj persuasion ofthelr indispensable necessity to re-
store the waning fortunes of the State. and the wish
to see Virginia at once engage in them. 1t is rare
to meet an intelligent mind that has not exchanged IFS
prejudices against manufactures for convictions OF
their utility and expediency. These convictions
have been forced upon the public by the sternest of
enthusiastically; by the contemplation of gen.
eral poverty and decay. The public mind is freed
from the prejutces SO long felt, SO ndustronsy To-
mented by certain politicians All that was ever
necessary to liberate it OF its bigotry, has been
complished-to bring 1t to The point Of inquiry. So
plain simple and conclusive is the reasoning which
proves the expediency of Virgina's engaging IN
mauufdctures-her natural advantages, her raw ma
teral, her water power, her coal mines, are so
abundant and inexhaustible--her future prosperity
is so obviously dependent upon her withdrawing
portion of her labor and capital from the overdone
and unproductive (unproductive because overdone)
pursuit of agrculture-tha to bring the public mind
to think on these subjects, was one and the same
thing AS to convince it that manufacturing was good
policy. We consider the struggle between preju-
dice and reason as already over--the contest was as
brief as the antagonists were unequal. Virginia is
about to become largely manufacturing state and

The Tennessee Legislature have discovered great
evils, and found the "surest remedy" for them :
namely that the measures of the administration are
not only bad, but very dangerous TO the Liberties Of
the country, and that Andrew Jackson alone, just
about this time is the only man who can recity mat
ters.
i These men, also, are men of much logic: for
thev have argued the corruption of Messrs Adams
and Clay in manner at least, satisfactory to them
selves.
