Communication.

Dean Swift has somewhere said-'H6
"who plants shade tree by the highway
"slde, is public bcncfactor." / will add
that he IS public bcnefactor at very small
expense. Will not our villagers and towns.
men generally aim TO become bencfactors
in this cheap way, and during the passing
spring, line our streets and roads with shade
trees?
l have a word 10 say 10 our Farmers,
about increasing the value and beauty Of
their farms, and rendering more attractive
the homes of their children, by this means.
but must defer it till your next paper.
The object of this communication is to
make suggestion to those members Of our
"Total abstinence Society,"" who, by the
blessing of Providence, have nobly rescued
themselves from the power of the destroyer
during the last year. Suppose, my friends,
that you mite, and plant and thoroughly
protect from injury, row of trees around
the Court House, or the public common, or
along some one of our streets, and let this DO
symbol of your dclivcrancc, and the Wit
ness of your fidelity. And so often as you
shall look upon them, they shall remind you
of the happy change in your condition, and
of the noble principles which you have en-.
gagged to support. And when you shall havo
finished useful honorcd life, your children
shall look upon those trees, and say with
joy, "Our fathers planted these in the year
1912, when they joined the Total Ahs,in-
enco Society,"" c.

TIE BRITISH PARTY.

Whilst England is imposing duties on
American productions, ranging from one
hundred to one hundred and ninety per cent,
the sclf-stylcd democracy Of this country are
clamoring for the doctrine "ETee TRADE"
by which the products of English Pauper
labor are to he admitted 10 our markets
"G'ee of duty." See the speeches of AM-
erton, Woodbury., Calhoun, Rheh, Wright
and Benton. And if you desire more evil
dence, see the Globe, New York Evening
Post, New Era, Richmond Enquirer, and in
fact all the leading Tory papers Of the coun-
try. Would not such party be more pro.
pcrly styled the : British Party" Fo'
while it is notorious that our wool, tobacco
cotton, pork, and all our agricultural pro-
ductions are taxed in the British ports al
enormous rates, this party are opposed tt
increasing the duty to thirty per cent, OF
English products which are brought to ou
markets. The time is rapidly approaching
when such party will be secuted from eve
nv section of the land by the indignant voice
of an inccnsed people.

OPINION OF AN ENGLISH STATES.
MAN ON FREE TRADE.

Not great while ago, when proposition
was brought before the British House Of Com
mons, by Ministers, to reduce the duty upon
French Wines, Mr.. ROBERTSON, a distinguished
member Of that body, gave the following defni-
ton Of the meaning Of Free Trade:
at was idle for us, he contended, to cndeavor
TO persuade other nations to join with us in
adopting the principles of what was cal1pd Free
Trade. Other nations knew as well as the no.
BILE lord opposite, and those who acted with him
that whm he meant ly Free Trade mas nothing
more nor less, than. by means ofthe great albania
ges me eejoyed, 10 get a monopoly q al, from ere'
becoming manufacturing nations"
Let the American advocates of the Free
Trade System ponder seriously upon this lucit
English definition of their favori'e theory. lie
the Wing major'yin Congress decide whether
they are willing to allow the English manufac
ture-s to geta monopoly Of our market, aud de
prive the laborers of our country of the homes
fruits of their industry.

MANUFACTURES OF GEORGIA.

We noticed few weeks ago the change
that was rapidly taking place IN the South
crn States, particularly in Georgia in refer
encc to protecting American Industry by
discriminating Tariff, The more we en-
anime the subject the less surprised are we
at this sudden revolution in public sentiment
In looking over the report Of the United
States Marshal relative to the census of
Georgia, we find that this State embraces a
much larger manufacturing interest, than
even her own citizens are probably aware,
as will be sufficiently apparent from an in
spectIon of the following table, taken from
tho Marslla's returns. 1t will be seen that
even in the anii-tarin' State of Georgia, NO
less than screen thousand men are engaged
in manufactures, that the capital invested is
upwards of three milionseren hundred thou.
sand dollars, and that their product amount,
in value to more than four miHionand a hal
per annum!

pLUNGING THE NATION IN DEBT.


This is the present war-cry Of the late
Van Buren, party. Why did they not think
of it when they were themselves in power !!
When Van Buren, guided the helm Of State
there was a SURPLUS IN TIE NATIONAL
TREASURY OF FORTY MILLIONS OF DOLLARS
when the People dismissed Inn from his post
and took command of the Ship themselves
Van had not only squandered this vast am
cunt ofrcvenuc but had actually "plungcd
the nation in debt" to the extent of millions
ofdollars. Nor was this all--he had des-
troyed the currency, ruined exchanges, en-
barrassed trade, crippled commerce, broken
down Manufactures, plundcrcd the people,
and IN all things had so wilhered and dried
up every source of revenue as TO prevent the
Wings for years from successfully s,cmming
the torrent of disaster and restoring the coun-
try from the extreme embarrassment in
winch his policy had involved it. But we
hope all may yet be right. Much has al
ready been done. The work of "Retrench-
ment and Re- form" has already been begun
and though the task is Ilerculean TO remedy
all the evils Of twelve years Of misrule ye
we have an abiding confidence in great ant
good results not far remote.

ANOTHER NolcE FROM THE Sourn.-Wc
arc glad to perceive that the Mobile Chron-
icle, one OF the ablest papers in the South,
has come on, molly and boldly in favor Of
home industry and American labor. That
paper says ether; is no part Of the world
better adapted to manufacturing purposes
than our own State Of Alabama ard il her
people, instead of shipping their cotton to
England, to be manufactured and brought
back for use, with heavy cost and charges at
tached, would but divert portion of their
capital TO manufacturing from the raw ma
tcr,al ofther own production, it would save
avast amount unnecessary expense, while
it would add greatly to the wco!l, of the state.
make us more independent, more prosper
Gus, more happy, more -insric0s. The
South has been brought to the verge Of ruin
by the adoption Of theories and distractions,
which, however well they may look on paper,
md however plausible to "talk about" are
utterly fallacious in practice. For years we
have been playing into the hands of Eng land
and to the ruin and prostration Of American
interests, and the sacrifice of American in
dependence. II is time TO discard theories
and distractions, and resort TO something
practical to abandon British policy, thu,
but cnrichcs England and impovcrishcs us
and adopt one purely American, that will
promote American interests

ENGLISH Corn LAws.-The following sched-
ue will exhibit the changes proposed by Sir
Robert Peel, in the Corn Laws Of Great Britain
1t will be seen by those versed in the subject,
that the proposed changes will only benefit the
wheat growing countries in the immediate vi
ciny of England. When famine prices shall
have raised the price of corn to such rate that
foreign countries tan aGord to export thither
their wheat aud -four, the result will be that Po-
land will be almost the only country that shall
be able to improve the English market. All
grain except from Hamburg S,eiin, ond Dantz-
&c, wi be as much excluded, in fact, as now
Up to 62s. the duty is prohibtory to the corn Of
all countries. Whcn corn ranges at this or a
higher rate, the grain from countries in Europe,
m the immediate vicinity can be afforded, bu;
not from America. And whenever the price Of
corn is 81 high, and the duty so corrcspondngly
low, that were it to continue. corn could be al
iorded from America, all the European ports in
the vicinity will Immediately pour in wheat and
-four in such quantities, that the price in Eng
| land would 20 down, and the duties again go up
| in a corresponding ratio. So that by the time
any supply could he proccred from the United
States, they would be again met by duties so
high as to cause heavy losses TO the importers
into England. Such is the necessary result Of
any sliding scale in England America cannot
compete with Europe for her market. With a
fixed duty, America from the quantity it could
| send, would be able to contend successfully for
the English market. With sliding scale 1t
stands no chance with the wheat growing coun-
tries of Europe.
Whenever the average price of Wheat, made
up and published in the manner required by

RHODE ISLAND.

Our readers are probably aware that with
in a year there have been two conventions
held in Rhode Island, each for the purpose
of framing new constitution for the State.
One convention was held according to law,
and the constitution submitted bv them to the
people has been rejected by majority of
about 600 votes. The other convention
was held without warrant of law, and was
composed of delegates chosen at party
meetings. The constitution submitted by
the illegal convention (calIed the free suffrage
convcntion) to their constituents has been
approved by them, and declared to be the
paramount law of,he land. The party arc
preparing to hold elections under it, deter
mined, as they say, 10 enforce il at the point
of the bayonet, if necessary. Tho conse-
guence IS tina. there is great cxcitcmen,
throughout the State 1t has risen to an al
