DO~ossie Manufactures have at lengh reported bill

and may be produced here TO a sufRcieni extent IN

Of the friends Of the American SYSTEM presumed,
will object to some parts ofthe bill indeed there can
not be bill framed that will in all of paris suit ev-
cry friend Ofthc system. The writer OF this has
no remarks upon the bill YET, but from sXmna-
ton oft considers il the best that has been oeTed.
Let ne manufacture OF sugar aud mO.aSses IN LrIsa

every thing embraced in the bill that is III il aud |
hope that the antcipatIons of Mr.. Buchanan, of
the Committee, in reply TO MIR. Wright of Ohio, may
be realized, when he stated tIfs floor of Congress
that the delay Occas0ned by examining gentlemen
summoned tor the purpose, would result favor of
the friends OF The tariff, and be the of producing
conviction IN the minds OF its opponents favor of
the protecting system, and that it would result in bill
that he believed would be approved of by its friends
Perhaps the manufacturer OF woolens may 5eCt to
the bill because the duty wool is great. that in
conse4 uence his machinery will il part have to lie
still. would say to him, III reply, you need not su-
fer any Inconvenience this accoun for than
two years at the most. For, give encouragement
to the farmer make it more profitable for him
sheep than other business, and the millions OF
these valuable animals eredthr0ugh the New
England, Middle and Western weud increase
at the ratio ut less than one fourth auay ,and IN
this way would furnish the raw materials OF ali
qualities sufficient quantity to supply the eonsnmp-

and would add enough would he raised and the
quantity increased as fast capital wouldbe invested
and machinery increased to manufacture and the
tO
soon bring the price down level with the profits OF
other productions and in that the manufacturer
would be the person to fix the price on the article,
! and It would he such price as I've could well afford
to give. Such ID the genius OF the people, and such
the result under all circumstances. The manutactu-
of wooliens say that the protection given to the
competition that has lowered the price OF the articles
manufactured, and they say, aud l apprehend truly,
that such will be the result i'll regard 10 sufficient
protection being given 10 themse'ves-and have no
doubt but such would be the result in regard to wool,
not to be understood however to say that wool vii n
that be lower than has been for two yearsb back,
but lower than it would be were NO such encourage
ment given-for at the prices that wo0l has brought
two years past the farmer will not raise It his sheep
will 60 into the hands The butcher, perish by neg
| fect.
The true policy Of government is to protect bothh
wool grower and the neutrality-suspicious. by protecting
they protect the other that Isl by protecting the
wool grower, they protect the manufacturer by eau
sing the material to be produced and by protec-
ting the manufactured they protect the wool growerby
creating ademand for his wool. Some may object to
the bill because it is loaded with such variety of arti-
cles think this ought to be objection. As said
before every branch of domestic industry have suit
able encouragement. The question whether it is the
proper policy OF government to protect domestic
manufactures, cannot admit of doubt. The princ-
Pile is OF the pillars OF amy free government, with
| out which no nation can be independent and is en-
graed into our Constitution, the language OF Cover
nor Giles and DR.. Cooper to the contrary notwith-
! standing. This q
great importance that those members OF Congress who
| are friends to the " American SYSTEM" rally around
the bill in its present form, and become united to sup
| port its passage without alteration amendment-for
| the object of the opposition will be to offer such
mendments will divide the friends ofhe system,
frtter it away TO such form person would like
it. As It was before remarked bill can be formed
that all would like and as this bill has the general
principles of good one, let those who do exactly
like it p all its features, say and act did the memo
rable Franklin upon the occasion Of the adoption of
our constitution, "Athough did not exactly like it in
all ofits provisions yet voted for it because could
get no better one at the time" mention this course
because appears to be the only one that can be
cessul in the adoption ofany bill to give encourage
ment the agrlculturists and manufacturers of

Land in Vrginin.---Mr. Randolph, in a late Speech
stated the following fact show the depreciation of
property in Virginia. gentleman purchased a
small tract of fur land which he built house that
cost $50OO Being obliged to sell few years after, he
sold the Iand for three dolors acre. without any
allowance for buildings. The purchaser thought he
had obtained the property very cheap, but he cannot
now get his money back. In the quarter, land,
some oft good wood land, has sold for dollar per
acre.
! And yet Gov. Giles the Richmond Enquirer, and
"He Of Roanoke" talk of a separation of the union,
because efforts making to than quadrupe the
value ofand in Virginia. All accounts from the'" An
cient Dominion, agree that the can boast of but
little else than Splendid poverty" and yet their lead
ing politicians hug this poverty with the convusivc
grasp OF dying man, and strain every nerve to entail
| il upon the other states of the union. There 10
part OF the world more congenal to the raising Of fine
wool, than the highlands Of Virginia Her hills and
mountains can feed millions Of sheep; and they send
down into the plains hundreds Of streams WHICH
factories he erected for converting their fleeces
into cloth. Virginia might bea richsate-it vii be,
when ts present arstocratic race shall be suppanted
by hardy, free. laorious, and enerprsing manulacu-
rers and not till them Her ancient of wealth
are dried up, by the competition OF free labor in other
states-she can only boast of what she has been,
or OF watsc may be. Pride induces her to boast of
the former policy should lead her to act upon
the latter principles, by Immediately putting those
measures into operation which alone can make her
rich and great.
