A convention under the title Of d" Busi
burgh Penn. on the 8th uIt., for the pur-
pose Of dcvising Il system Of business, cal
cuated to advance the general interests
and prosperity Of the State. The conven
zion was composed Of the most prominent
business men in the state, without respect
to parties or politics. Among great va
riety Of suggestions and resolutions by the
convention, it is recommended to the peo-
pie Of Pennsylvania, to use no article ci-
Their merchandise or mechanical. food or
clothing, of European manufacture or pro-
duction; and in all cases as far as pratica-
be, to purchase none but the manufacture
and production orthat statc.-W neither this
policy, carried to its full extent, would de
one o" general utility to the state, we shall
not stop to discuss. But we think ii would
be expedient, and in The end profitable for
the farmers Of Wisconsin to pause and en-
quire, what proportion Of the necessaries
Of life, which they are o5lge to purchase,
are the produce Of some other state or coun-
try With the exception Of bread-stuf1s,
every article Of necessity or luxury used
in the family, arc derived from abroad
Flax, hemp, and wool, which are suscepti-
Die OF being produced to any extent in this
Territory, have as yet received little or no
attention. Even many articles of husband
ry, farming utensils &c, are brought here
and sold to our farmers. This should not
be; because there is no necessity for it
Every dollar unnecessarily taken out of the
Territory, is loss Of the common capital
Of the people.
We do not pretend to say, that hitherto
the people Of this Territory have possessed
the means rcmedyng these evils; neither
do we alude to this state of things as a
matter Of discouugemcn:. But we deem
it our duty, TO keep this subject before the
minds of our citizens, and if possible in
cite them TO immediate action. Itnccds no
shrcwcd calculator or economist 10 per-
ccivc, that unless we contrivc TO purchase
less from abroad, and produce more Of the
necessarcs at home, it will eventually be
i'll with US. And although we may enjoy
seeming prosperity now, unless the bal
ance OF trade which is against US now, is
changed, the final result will be suicidal 10
our pecuniary interests.

GENTLEMEN: Your letter Of the 10th
was duly handed me, and lose no time
in responding to the feelings and senti-
ments which you have expressed for your
selves and those you represent, and which
you have correctly ascribed to me in re.
gard to the lamented death Of the late
President. AS citizen respected him,
as patriot honored him, and as a friend
he was near and dear to me that the PEG.
pie Of Cincinnati should desire to keep
watch over his remains by entombng
them near their city, is both natural and
becoming; that the entire West, where
so many evidences of his public usefulness
are to be found, should unite in the same
wish, was to have been expected; and
that the surviving soldiers Of his many
battles, led on by him to victory and
to glory, should sigh to perform the mel
ancholy duties to the remains of their
old commander, is fully in consonance
with the promptings Of noble and gene
rous sympathy. could not, if | was au.
thorized to do so, oppose myself to their
wishes. might find something TO urge
on behalf OF his native State, in my know
ledge of his continued attachment to her
through the whole period Of his useful life

whose desire it would be that the mortal
remains Of the illustrious son should sleep
under the same turf with those Of his dis

the Declaration of ndependence-in the
wish of the citizens of his native county,
to claim all taat is now left of him for
whom they so lately cast their almost
unanimous sutlrage-to say nothing OF
my own feelings, allied, as ! am by
blood, to many Of his near relatives, and
with our names so closely associated in
much connected with the late exciting po.
litcal contest-thcse considerations might
present some reasonable ground for oppos-
ing your wishes. But the assent which
has been given by his respected widow
and nearest relatives to the request OF the
people of Cincinnati admits of no opposi.

nor official character.
