MIR. FAULKNER IN FREDERICK.
The Richmond Wing has some sound remarks
on the subject Of Mr.. Faulkner's Address in
Frederick Il says;
.Mr. Faulkner We understand dwelt primari-5
ly upon the beneficial consequences Of a home
market 10 the farmers ofEIhis country every part
OF the country, for The sale of their surplus pro-
duce. How is this home market 10 be establish
edi 10 but one possible way. IL The whole
American People cultivate the soil, there can be-
no home market. The surplus Of Agricultural
produce must perish their hands, unless per-
chance England or France>is starving. But iol
give Us Home Market encourage tenth of
the pdpuh donsof The United States 10 engage in
manufactures aad q Home Market is at once
created. The manufacturers will consume all
The surplus. We shall NOT have 10 look 10 acct
dents abroad for marker. Ii will not be neces-
sary that EnglahdJ Oh France shalt be in need of
bread, 10 fnd us market for our wheat and
corn. We shall have demand al home, certain,
steady, snd undertaking. Agriculture will be
relieved both BY the numbers who withdraw
from it, and by their requiring TO be supplied by
those who continue tp pursue il.
We are clad that Mr. Faulkner had the indie
pendence 70 take this ground, for such has been
againstthe Tariff in Virginia, and
such is the extent Of msinfoImalion upon that
su5iect, studiousIy continued BY politicians for
their own purposes, thatit required some bold
ness to inject The question as be did. we hope
his example may be follow andthai the pub
lie men Of the Wing Pary viii show as il is most
Easy 10 DO, that there is no GuatIer Of the U.
States more, if as much, interested in The crea-
lion Of permanent steady, meme market, as the
far ming. interest of Virginia.

- The tax bill and rejection Of the Land Fund,

So they ought 10 be-: never was there such in
fable stupidity exhibited as BY the rejection Of
he Land Mrney. ltIwas the most unmitigated
oily Of which any legislative bsdy was ever
'oil'y And yet there was feaiutein il, more
evoltng than its folly; we mean its PRETEN-
