Our DOMESTIC MANrrAcrrREs.

We publish below (ssy. tic Troy Whigj an
excellent article from the Ncwerh Daily Advertiser
upon the importance of su,tsiulng and protecting
domestic manufactures. The subject u at this
pressed upon The attention Of the nation with
peculiar force rs the evils We experience from *.
cep.Ne impoiaiIops and By the nperious ucccssi-
IS, that now exists and VIII soon compel IT, t.
,cck ,ol.ci from our state Of ahJcct dependence
upon foreign nations for many Of the ucccssarlcs
Of life.
Tho success and prosperity cf our domestic
manufactures are intimately connected aud closely
identified with our national welfare and iudcpcn-
dence and the policy Of extending 10 lhls depart
incn, Of home industry the fostering uld and pro
irciiGR Of the government aud the people, Is 80
clearly demonstrated by recent occurrences, that
IN sllusion to or an enumeration "I lie advantages
would appear at tins late day almost unnecessary.
Bat convinced ~e are Of the great Importance
e this subject, and that it cannot too often be
brought so t.c notice OF our citizens, We mike
no apology for again introducing it 10 our readers
One great advantage of PROTECTING our
manufactures is, that It furnishes sue homo m1r
k,f for al the productions o. the country Much
Of the wool of the north aud the cotton Of the
south be worked up in out own manufactures,
bnd the surplus grain and provisions Of all tho
States, would then find ready consumption with
10 our own borders. The production, transportG.
ton and sale of tho raw materials and the manu-
featured articles produced thererrom would furnish
an immense domestic trade, giving ample employ
ment to the ahorer, good profits 10 the merchant
aud gfcs, activity to all departments Of business
. and internal commerce.
From ten to fifteen thousand bales Of domestic
cotton goods saij 10 have been shipped at Bos-
ton for Chius, within a short time pact. The

Though there is much IN the present aspect Of
our hlTsrs to cres,e apprehension we are neyerthe-
less Inclined to look forward with hope rather than
dependency. Not~Iibsta ndug the prevailing en-
b.usssnenis the presence Of the most active
principles Of National prosperity, Whatever they
may be. has ma where been more clearly pcrceptI-
