ali nsrchandiae which we use, and cannot grow
St nsnufaefdre to advantage, fret prepared for
!. atipments Here lies the error, in suPPosing that
sbsss articles are to be obtained OfFIRsr HANDS in
E6rope Now it is too obviously true 70 be de-
ned, that by far the greatest portion Of all the
Merchandise imported into the state, except pro-
visions &c. from the West, is tho growth and
3 and manufacture of the northern and eastern
states and is found in first hands or first shippers,
+ where we now purchase Them. Three fourths Of
oil TIE B0Vuso glass
iron, clothing, cordagc shoes, saddlery, jeweIry,
furniture, hats, drugs and oils, books and station
arr, metals Of all kinds and various other articles
are the growth and manufacture Of the Northern
portions of the United States. They are purchas-
= ed there offrst hands and cheaper than the same
articles, or those which viii answer the same pur-
g poses, can be bought in Europe or elsewhere
IL may not be generally known, perhaps, that the
I quantity of foreign goods Ofall kinds consumed
"a in the state, comparatively small in proportion
to the domestic merchandise used. II may not
be easy to come to correct calculation, but We
can come somewhat near il, We have seen
: statement made from the tax assessment books for
several successive years, in, the City Of Natehcz.
: They show the amount Of foreign goods on hand,
in each store, at the time the assessment is made
which is generally in the spring; and the amount
: Of sales Of merchandise during the year. From
this data-it can be ascertained with some degree
of correctness, the proportion Of foreign and do
mestic goods sold in that city, and near as can
be ascertained the former is not one fourth ofthe
whole amount exclusive Of western produce.
Let any man examine the subject himseIf and
: he win see that ofall the merchandise which we
generally purchase at the North, not over one
r third of it ever saw Europe.
: We arc in favor of Free TRADE-DrREcr TRADE
without embargo or restriction We should sell
y our cotton where it IS manufactured, which will
be chiefly in Europe, but such portion 10 Che mau-
!, ufactures Of our own country as they invite to
their warehouses; BY the offer Of a suitable price,
And so with .he West, for some OF our cotton is,
and. always will be sold on the Ohio River; and
we should buy our merchandise where we find it
cheapest,a at any Of the points where we trade
This is always in FIRST hands. European goods
5 we should purchase ia England domestic goods
FIRST prepared for shipment IN the Northern citiesl

Such period then, as is contemplated by the
Governors tn the history Of our commerce, never
eanarriye. And tbe TessonNhy its establishment
should be sought for, as get forth by him, is any
thing but sound. The people Of the noi4hem
states are not abclidOnisis. They are a high
minded niagnanirnous people, generally nsmucH
