The views of the writer of the letter from Loui-
siaIa, to the editors of the Wing from which we
make the following extract, are expanded and lust
The argument applies with equal and greater force
to the bread stulis OF Virginia, because thew are
in fact, excluded from foreign market, by FOREIGN
monopoly. We do conscientiously believe, that our
wheat, flour and corn, are appreciated in value at
least ten per cent by the encouragement now given
domestic manufactures; and that but for the nor
thern manufacturer, not half of the present
product of Virginia, could find market. It is this
view of the subject mainly, which has induced us,
in despite of the certainty that we were making
ourselves unpopular at hone, to advocate a pro-
tccting tariff. Free trade prefer, could we ret
it, but when restriction is the order Of the day in
the great marts of Europe, national pride and
selfpreservation call us to meet restriction with
restriction, Time was when in Il contest of this
kind, Virgiqia would have been the foremost to
meet a cunning foe, and we do not despair that her
ancient spirit may yet be revived
