said to them, I'VE ask the oyster you must take
the SHELF
Kestucky. Ohio and Western vrgioia, are
sbundsasly capable Of supplying the whole
Union, with Cordage and Cotton Bagging. but
have heretofore been slrst oat from our mar
kets, by importations from Russia. They now
como forward, aud ask for a little Of that pro-
tect ion, which has been extended to New-Eng-
land, and is il just or reasonable that they sheuld
be deniedi Pennsylvania, from the immensely
Of her resources, is capable of supplying the
whole Of North and South America, with the
article of Iron, and she will do so, if the gov
ernment will only encourage her, and secure
to her her rights; and must che too be rejected
because Russia, Sweden, Denmark and Eng
land, claim an exclusive monopoly ofeur mar
kets, and demand an exclusive privilege over
our sisters! IL wo consent to such policy, we
may as well abandon each State to its own ru-
in at once, and quietly sit down and abide by
the proscrp,ive edicts Of Europo-by the will
Of monarchs, who have for too long period,
controlled the markets Of Indspendant Ameri-
ca.
The subject Of which we are speaking, rs one
ofimmense interest to the nation, and we could
follow il up to a greater extent, were we not
already admonished to retire;-but though wo
must now leave il, we promise il shall DO re-
cd
We are aware, that the stand that we have
taken in relation to the Tariff, is not pleasing
to numerous Mercantile aud Commercial friends
Of ours. for whose opinions and sagacity wo
entertain the most profound respect ;und though
we honestly differ with them, We trust that
they will have the magnanimity to admit, that
our disparity Of thought. is merely difference
Of opinion, and be assured, that whilst we would
protect tho Manufa cturer and the Agricultural
ist, wo would no, PROSTATE the man Of Com
mercs.
The present Tariff to our mind, presents an
agreeable aspeet;-wc consider it to be Ju-
dicious ono; and, under all the circumstances
Of the case, TO be Just such an one, as the coun-
try might have expected. In its operations
and bearings, it wil. be mutually favorable TO
every section Of the couutry-t will encoura 60
the Nsw-England States, and give now action
TO the Middle and Southern SECTIONS Of the
nation.
yhe attempt that was made by few OF the
citizens Of the city Of New-York, to produce
an excitement against il, was ridiculous farce,
and those who wers concerned in it, should
have remembered. that majority Of the Rep
resentut;ves Of the State, and both Of ITS Sem
ators, voted in its favor. Aud if they had thus
remembered, they would have been told, that
great majority of the people Of tho great
State Of New. York, were in favor Of the Ia
Iiir; for It is we'll known. that those Represen-
tives and Senators, voted in conformity with
the will Of their constituents, who had by i'm
plica,ion, impaired their positive instructions.
We are informed that the most conspicuous
actors at the city Of Now-York, were English
mon, importers Of Foreign fabricks-men who
are hostile TO every thing that has a semblance
Of American Interest. This much was expect
cd-Sut the attempt to produce an excitement
proved an entire abortion. In Boston, SINH
lar attempt was made, and was attended with
the same success that attended the efforts of
the malcontcnts Of the city Of New-York; and
we are glad to say, on the authority Of the
Boston Courier, that notwithstanding gentle
man, which was one oflhe Committee who pre-
pared the Boston Anti.TarH Memorial, made
application on Wednesday, tc several ship mas
,ers to hoist their flags half mast, and endeav-
orcd to get up a subscription, to defray the
expense of firing minute guns in consequence
of the passage Of the Tariff; neither end was
accomplished both ended in positive
abortion.
Satisfied that the American System mus,
and will triumph, we take occasion to congrat-
ulate our readers, on the success which has
attended the eilor.s Of the friends Of
liberty, equal justice and equal laws.
