The Edinburgh Review, in an article on the
state of the British Wool Trade, having no refer
ence TO the United States our tariff, has several
sensible remarks, grounded facts and documents
which cannot hc controversial, which we would
recommend 10 tho attention Of our fellow citizens
1t is fortunate for the world that the true princi-
pies OF Political economy have found such able ex
posors and advocates as adcrn with their conpo-
silions the pages of this Review. From the arti-
clio which we have mentioned above, we extract
the following which contains the conclusions at
which the writer arrives in relation TO the wool
trade: Boston c. Gd-.
1t Is, therefore, clearly established, first, That
The free importation Of foreign wool is absolutely
essential TO The very existence OF our own wcollen
manufacture; and, second, That it's Importation
has not occasoDcd the fall i'm the price Of English
wool; but that. on the contrary, by enabling the
latter to be partially worked up into cloth, which.
cannot be wholly manufactured of H. its price ha,
been sustained q, higher elevation than it would
otherwise have reached. In proof of the accura-
cy of this view OF the matter, we may mention the
fact, that the price o: English wool fell in 1919,
when the high duty was laid on, and that il con-
unued to decline during the whole period Oh its
operation Hence II follows, that the .imposi-
lion of the duty would not effect the object In
view-that Of raising the price of British Wool,
and it has been shown, that in attempting to ac-
complsh what is thus evidently imprac,icable by
such means, we should inilict mortal blow on a
branch of industry on which not fewer, perhaps,
than rIILL1oN of individuals are drsctiyde.

The legislature of Pennsylvania adjourned sine
die on Friday last after having passed 21S acts and
ten resolutions. The most important bill was tba,
relative TO the borrowing Of 5000 $50, for the
completion OF their works Of internal improvement,
which the governor returned without signing; re-
lusing his assent, unless both Houses would strike
off . million. The Philadelphia Sentinel says :
The embarrassing result, therefore, will be, tia.
The completion of this canal will be unnecessarily
prolonged. Our unfinished works exposed TO the
dangers incident to the breaking up of the ice in
The spring, and the golden advantages growing out
OF our internal commerce thro' the State, will be
greatly pos;poned.-Doth friends and foes, NOW
that these great works have been commenced, and
will ne carried on, are alike anxious for their spec

THE CREEK INDIANS.
Colonel John Crowell the late Agent in the
Greek Nation, we are authorised 10 say, has leen
directed 10 remove his agency west Of the Mssis-
sppi the country allotted to the emigrating In
dams, He has very lately returned from Wash
ingtn City, and has, we understand, talk from
the Executive to the Creeks The President tells
them that an Agency will no longer be retained
in their present nation; that il is his wish they
should remove. and his dissemination TO have their
lands surveyed; that inasmuch the State of Al
bama has extended her jurisdiction over them,
they will be thrown without the protection of the
General Government and that the Only course
left 10 be pursued is for them 70 remove. He also
informs them, that such as are disposed 10 remain
shall have strip ofland set apart for them, but
that they will be subject 10 the jurisdiction of aState
in which the land may lie; bu, that such az remove
will have continued TO them the protection OF the
Government Capt. Walker, from whom we de-
rive this information, further informs US, that
meeting of the Indians is 10 be held on the 2sta
inst for the purpose Of deciding on the Presidents
instructions. Capt. w. thinks they will emigrate
saSse, aud that they will never plant another
crop in theii present country. lie further states,
that the extension of jurisdiction over them has
Ind most salutary effect, and that previous TO
the arrival of Col Crowell 1000 had enlisted. Thus
we are in fair way CT speedily acquiring the In
dian country, the acquisition Of which promises the
greatest advantages to Montgomery.
