I, he House Of Delegates OF Virginia, on
n. 9Th inst. a communication from the Senate
MAG received, informing them tina, they had
r,.sed an act, 10 incorporate the Richmond Ma
n,g,r,u,ine Company, also bill to incorporate
III. New Baltimore Manufae turing Company.
On the SAME day, the House passed bill incor>
n,,aring the Wheeling Cotton Manufaotu turing
Company. The Legislature, thus, in fact, a
5o,tipr the very system which Governor Giles
A., called ON them 20 den0unce and resist.
By referring to an article from the Rich,
noni " hig on the opposite page, IT viii be
,sep tha, Gov. Giles has thought proper again
70 bring the subject Of the Tariff before the
Virginia Legislature, and TO press upon the
consideration Of the General Assembly some
mole of resistance to this obnoxious measure.
Never was more unwi,e course taken. Its
oply consequence viii br, as the Wing says, an
additional weeks prnlonsatiop Of the session,
and the expenditure o. some or 5000 dollars,
10 declare over and over again, what is not
true in ,he first place, aud which if true, was
declared The last session, and the session be-
for. Year after year the L. legislature has con.
demued the American System as unjust and
unconstitutional, aud yet wha; mas been the
resul2 Has it had amy eject abroad. Other
States, as Pennsylvania and New York, declare

men and complete independence OF our coun-
tr, While several other States recommend its
adoption jus, as often as Virginia protests a.
gains, it, Has it hal any effect at home? his
same Legislature now called on 10 resist the
Tariff has lately passed bills Incorporating
manuiac turing establishments in diferen, parts
the State. We lately published several re-
solutions passed in The Western part Of Vir>
Sins. requesting the Senators in Congress to
oppose any reduction of the duty on Salt, as
tending to iniure an important article Of Trginia
anHgtaciare; and our readers know that meets
rigs have been held in different parts Of he
State, composed Of friends Of the American
System, expressing their belief that it SIS a
good Cause, and will finally prevail" The le-
SsaIure, therefore, has not hitherto effected
any thing, either abroad or al home, by its pro-
'ss's, and it is lkly never viii. Why then per.
severe any longer IN this Improbable busisess!
we trust that the good sense and patriotism
Of majority Of that body will see the pro.
prlay OF letting this matter rest. As for Co
vernon Giles vfooring and sasconaaing, it is
''sin"'ns to be laughed at, and treated with
contempt out OF the State: the people of 'Vir-
