Mr. EprroR,
In my last number, | stated the immense value oil
the manufacturers in cotton, wool and iron In thel
two states OF Pennsylvania and New-York alone,
and before proceed TO proUs the combination en-
tered into between the Southern States and England,
for the destruction of the .4merican System together
with the English Importers and the leading parti-
zans of Gen. jackson, in the Middle anu Western
States will notice some other articles OF internal
industry highly important TO Pennsylvania and New
York, which must share the fate of the manufactur
ers. Forifone goes the rest will all follow
The State of Pennsylvania, possesses stock in the
different rurnpkes, to between two and three mll-
lions of dollars ifno more. If the roads not US
ed, the stock must be without value and ii the pro-
ducons of the soil, and the articles for manniac-
lures are not required the roads must be untravell
ed--and the roads constructed at enormous ex-
pence, will be useless. In that case the money
subscribed by the State will be lost, and it has
been borrowed, remember farmers Of Pennsy wanna,
it must be repaid, and that your estates may be sac
rificed public sale, for this purpose, and tins will
happen from changing the present system.
The canals now cutting In Pennsylvania, are to
be constructed with money borrowed on ioan--it
the canals have little or no business there VIII be
no tolls, and then again, farmers Of Pennsl vanla
your estates will be answerable, and must be sold,
TO repay these loans. Under the present situation
of things, these canals promise 10 be as productive
as valuable. Let the American System he destroy
ed, and the canals will be destroyed likewise.
The opening of the mines Tor coal, have been
made by individuals and companies, at an enormous
charge At present, they beginning to prove
highly important and productive Let the nlanu-
factures be destroyed, and they will follow in the
general ruin. In short, the country will be as much
under English controul, as when we were English
Colonies.
1t will not require the gift of prophecy to torete
the same causes and effects will flow roa the aod,h-
ern system of policy being adopted. In Ne'y York,
as in Pennsylvania, her roads and her canals. "o~
sources of so much wealth and opuience, wiil ink
into the general vortex of ruin. and her isrn."fs
will have to MOURN in sackcoth and ashes, tha do
usion which led them to contribute to their Owe ae
struction.
The proofs that this Combination, between the
Southern states-Engt gland, and the English lmpor
ters in New-York, and the partizans ot General
Jackson. at this moment prevail, and as they be-
eve. are successfully progressing, that no one who
reads them can doubt on the subject.
The meetings of the friends of Gen. Jackson in
Georgia. previous to the convenng OF me last Con-
gress resolved that nothing but repeal Of the laws
granting protection to manufactures would satisfy
them in other words, the utter destruction Of the
American System.
| The meetings of the supporters of Gen. Jackson
! in S. Carolina, at the same period, passed similar
resolutions.
The Legislature of Virginia passed resolve
that Congress possessed constitutional power to
protect manufactures.
On the meeting of Congress, and MIR. McDulhe OF
South Carolina, being made chairman OF the Com
mittee of ways and means, that Committee declar-
ed, the progress of the American System must be
arrested.
When the present Tariff was passed, the South
CaroIinans and Georgians, passed resolutions, that
unless the law was repealed they wonid resist 1t,
in other words, that they would resort to arms.
The Evening Post of New-lork. edited by Mr.
Coleman, violent supporter OF Gen. jackson late
lily declared, that the election OF the General, was
necessary to secure the repeal Of all the la7cs grant
ing protection to manufactures, and that the Genera
was supported on tins ground in New-Y ork.
On the meeting of the English Parament-Mr
Huskisson moved an address to the kng, for copies
of all letters between the British Ministers and this
Government, on the passage OF the larli1, and de-
nouncing it being hostile to the British interests
Mr.. Peel the British Minister, acknowledged the
Tariff was hostile to the British interests, but hop
ed Congress would repeal it, and be conented to re
lceve British Manufactures and give up manuaictur
ing for ourselves, or they would retallate.
On reading the foregoing, no man possessed o
: the semblance of impartlality, but must acknowl
edge from the similarity of the resolutions, that tht
parties acted from prscOncerted combination The
