An inquiry has been moved in the House Of
REPRESENTATIVES by Gen. Harrison Of Indiana,
on he propriety Of the repeal of The present
duty on imported salt An inquiry en- SUBJ
lest is always in order, and The facts collected
during an investigation when duly arranged
and considered offord the means offormiug a
correct Judgment On the agItsted question:
What is the precise object OF the contemplated
INQUIRY in this instance does not fully appear,
but i, is~presumed to be, TO supply the coun-
Try more extensively, and 1t a cheaper rate with
this prime article OF necessity How Tar this
Object will be accomplished by repeal oil the
du,y on salt, are not prepared to determine.
IL is unprecedented by some that such measure
would DESTROY IT once the extensive saiI works
established on the sea coast, and other parts oil
the country. Such establishments cannot be Car
ried on upon a small scale, but lagre amount
must necessarily be invested 10 put them IN
successful operation. 1t would be disastrous to
those immediately concerned, as well as 10 the
country at large, to have the salt works now in
oppration destroyed, or even cIippied by re-
neal of the duty. We shall he better enabled
70 form a correct opinion on this subject when
we see the report Of the committee OF he House
oT REPRESENTATIVES. In the mean Time, we shall
state some of The uses to which sea Salt is ap,
nIied. besides its employ ment as an indispensa-
b. article of domestic economy.
The acid obtained from Att necessary
in ,he production Of sal.amoniac. This arti-
Gle is highly useful and absolutely necessary IN
,nonp arr. and manufactures Little or none Of

MAC used here is principally imported. Be-

iween thirty and forty years ago, "thc manu-
rac,ure Of this important article FORMED con-
siderable trade in England, but when Mr.. PM
IMPOSED the additional duiy Of ten pounds per
ION ON salt, the largest manufacturer in Great
Britain Immediately rehncuished the business,
and when the duty on salt was raised 10 Sol. per
ton, nearly every English maker OF sal"amo-
MAC abandoned the manufacture. - Park On
salt
The numerous and extensive manufactures
Of soap in the United States, where pot ash is
principally used, require large quantities OF sea
salt, TO give consistence 10 the soap salt can
only be dispensed with by substituting bariilo.
In the manufacture of glass, large quantities
Of salt are employed, on account OF the soda
procured from it, There are many flourishing
glass establishments in the United States.
10 prepare the bleaching liquors made and
used in this country common salt is required
These are the oxy muriates OF lime, magncsia,
&c.
Muriatic acid, otherwise called the spirits OF
salt, is made from common salt. This article
is essential in mary Of the arts, is extensively
used in this country, and is made in great per-
fiction among ourselves.
Chrys a!sed soda is made from the decom-
position Of sea salt, and is an article III univcr-
Sal Dc mand in the arts The acid, necessary TO
make calomel and corrosive sublimatc, those
powerful and useful pre- separations OF mercury,
is obtained from salt. They are not only used
in medicine and surgery, but also in Gallo o.
printing and other arts.
These are some Of the printipn arts III which
salt is consumed. Blu, besides the domestic
use Of i. in families, the greatest consumption
arises from making butter, cheese and bread,
end the sailing Of beel, pork, and fish. One
other important use is that Of sailing horses.
kline and sheep. On the sea coast Of the United
States, where cattle live in saline atmosphere,
and where they are led with salt grass, the en-
ployment Of salt IS not necc ssary, but in the in
terror it Is indispensable II the well being Of
domestic animals.
These facts will tend to show the great inn
portance Of the article of salt, and we hope
they may throw some light on the ,ubject q
bou, 10 be inquired ino by the House.

Starts up and cries, with ne,
A health to George, the Island King
And sovereign Of the sea!
And here's to thee, brave Codringtonl

Shroud all the heather ships:
