The editor Of the Nallonai Advocate makes
the following observations upon The fact mem
toned above:
We wish orr representatives in Congress

to take an excursion along our wharves and see
the indications Of Intense feelings e,inced by
the flags on our shipping half mast high, on &C
count Of tina, part of the tariff which was adj
vocated ny them, viz: the duty on hemp, duck,
molasses, SC. articles on which the friends OF
The American system never asked any lncrea
of duty. We ask, and we wish the friends of
these gentlemen to answer, would il not have
been better 10 have fairly met the reasonable
requests Of the manufacturers and protected
woollens, cottons, SC. rather than TO have ad-
vocaied high duties on articles that strike di>
reclly at commerce, and bear most oppressive.
ly on the common class Of people Mr. Cams
breleng should have known thar ii was not
practicable to hit the commerce and the poor
consumers Of molasses in New-England, with,
out INJECTING blow on the commerce and the
people of New-York. This crooked policy
will not answer-tha, il is crooked no one can
deny, when the fact is adverted 10, that in 1924,
Mr.. C.. voted against an increase of duty on
hemp, and this session he streruously advocat-
ed lis increase. Honesty, Mr.. c. 10 politics
and every thing else, is the best policy.
