lot. years i, is tru.. sace the return OF gene
raj neaoe. their manufactures have not had the
sale they formerly commended, ana conSe-
quently her operatives have been thrown into
distresses. But if we will look TO the real
cause of this distress, it will'be iound to pro-
coed from state of things which cannon exist
in this country. In Britain the density OF the
population, and the limited extent oil territory,
unite in rendering it necessary, that their do,
mystic national economy be such as to contine
every particular class 10 its specific sphere,
therefore il Is NOT strange that when any thing
takes place 10 throw any one Of those classes
on, of employment, it brings With II distress,
because the other classes b'lng filled up, and
occupying the space allotted them, there is no
room, if we may use the expression, there is no
object to which the energies of the portion
wanting employment can be advantageously
directed. But in this country the case is wide
ly different In the first place having every
variety of climate and soil, we are capable oil
growing by FIR the greater portion OF the ma
tr-ials consumed in manufacturing, and are not
indebted to other nations for those materials
and consequently are relieved OF the cost Of
Importation. In the second place, the immense
ex,eDt of water power we possess, from The
noble streams with which Our country is wa
tered, which may b. applied to propei ma
chlnery at small expense, does no, expose US
to the overwh elming expenses a,tendan: on The
production Of power by artificial means, and
even where such artificial means are pece ,sary,
every desc rpiion Of material used in construct
ing machinery, is at hand, and may be obtained
at cheap rate. With the evils Of an over
dense population not to be unprecedented,
the extent of our soil being so great, that should
there a, any time be falling off in the demand
for manufactures, and consequently want OF
employment FOR operatives, there an be no de-
fciency OF OBJECTS to which they may devote
themselves having never falling resource il
the pursuits Of agriculture, the field for winch
presents itself in those vacant lands that will
always ,nake rich return for the labors Of cul-
tivalion.
