,n.rn 4be in,abit ants Of Our State are not SO IN
,oediatcly interested in, as are the inhabitants q
,.,ge cities, and trading towns, but we interest
ea in putting an end to all abuses, whether they ex
;s. in our State or out of it. Few persons wh,
lave hadany thing to do with auctions will be toun,
n advocate the system upon which they nov
established, and fewer still of the fair traders ant
manufacturers, that will not pronounce it system
j. once subvers.ve Of fair dealing. The auction
system is licensed monopoly, one which at almost
ii times has the control o! the market at its beck
and by the stratagems OF the craft can in a few
aours make that ruinous purchase, which at the
sime it was effected, was pronounced profitable
avestment.
To manufacturers this subject is particularly in
.eresting and important. They have long been la
eornr under difficulties that have always been at
rbuted to want of protection, by tariff OF duties,
but they have not attributed scarcely any Of the
evils which they have suffered, to this gambling
auction system, although they have daily felt its
baneful influence. A tariff they now have in com
mon with others Of their fellow citizens, but they
cannot expect the benefit they ought to derive from
II. while auctions are tolerated, and permitted to
be licensed monopoly. Indeed we fear no tariff
that does not amount to an absolute prohibition, will
be essentially serviceable to our own industry and
enterprise, so long as the long credits duties
syen, and this system of auctions is coutinued.-
But for the present wish only to call attention
10 the " Reasons, &c." which will be found III ano
ther part of this paper-so that our citizens may
understand what is the light in which this subject
i, viewed by their fellow citizens of New York
indeed we could not add word to illustrate the
subject that will not be found in the compressed
Reasons to which we allude. We NAV say how.
ever that the dceterious influence of this system
i. felt directly or indirectly throughout the coun
try, and where it has produced most distress and
oppression, public attention has become aroused,
md is followed BY general determination to
rect TIE evil, by an appeal to the Congress Of the
United States for redress
OHIO.--'The following is the conclusion Of a
statement made by the jackson Committee Of
ho, to Green & Jarvis We perceive Iy the
remarks Of others. that the committee have not
oyer-tated the jackson majority in that State, but
/ i believed have not stated mere than half Of
what it will really be.
In the estimate Of the relative strength Of the
;wo candidates for President, we have fairly Civ
Ell our views Of the parties and sndcavored to
show the probable and almost certain prospect of
Gen. Jacksons getting the vote OF Ohio This
calculation IS not merely speculative one, on
The contrary. it is founded OH mass ct evidence.
furnished by letters from every district in the
State, and they from men o! political knowledge
and integrity II is offered the public, with fall
belief in its correctness, and an assurance that
The contemplated majority for Jackson IN Ohio.
will far exceed the calculation here furnished,
which IN the aggregate, amounts to little up
wards ci three thousand votes.
In addition to what we have already stated, we
can add as a conclusive proof Of the increase of
lackson's cause in Ohio that there are at this time,
twenty three newspapers advocating the claims OF
Tie peoples candidate, when at the last election.
there were but five out Of Fifty in the whole state.
IN favor OF his election 1t with all the dsadvan
tages we then labored under, our ticket was only
beat by about seven hundred votes, when Messrs.
Adams and Clay stood fairly before the people,
and our candidate was scarcely known IN some OF
the counties. surely row, when intelligence can
oe, and is disseminated among the people, and
their eyes opened to the unnatural and corrupt
Ihlon Of Adams and Clay, to the undignihed and
unprecedented course they have pursued, and are
snll pursuing, to secure their continuance in Office,
We may with the fullest confidence assert, that
aur young, but aspiring state, will not be back
ward in fixing her seal of disapprobation upon the
Feisnlng dynasty" and bestowng her anbought
vote upon the veteran patriot, as the proudest
sat 9! free people.
