the advantage of it when there is
nothing TO exchange. Their own

is as large a demand for goods Of all

wants Of the community There is

sick before. though some quacks
would Ein advise us to try. We
trust the Nation will have too much
good sense -, again allow itself to be
treated as il has been.
Our exports in all probability will
be very heavy during the common
season. The cotton crops will exceed
two millions Of bales. The amount
of produce of other kinds will most
likely be very large. from the great
annual increase of the number of a.
cres put under cultivation. Although
the price of these will range low, yet
The grea, amount of them will pro.
duce a very large sum, which joined
to the tariff and the cash duties will
in all likelihood keep the balance Of

the ensuing year. We shall be the

whalers! 1t really is a subject de-
serving of Parliamentary inquiry
Means should be found TO ascertain
what the causes are Of this gradual
passage of the South Sea whale fshe.
ry from the hands Of England to
those OF America. Our seamen are
certainly not deficient in skill and
courage, and our merchants are not
wanting in enterprise. Abundant
capital may be had in London Tor the
construction Of railroads in France
and America, or to prop up the inan-
cial credit of revolutionary republics
and divine-risht despots; yet our
South Sea fisheries, than which no f.
ner nursery for seamen can we'll be
imagined, are allowed to anguish and
decay, at the same time that our COM
mercialH rivals are growing rich by
prosecuting'a trade Which we are al
lowing TO slip out Of our hands
American sailors must have higher
wages than English sailors. and Anne
rlcan ship builders are paid at a high
er rate than British workmen of the
same class. Ii, therefore. an Ameri.
can whaIer can he butt. equipped,
and navigatcd a, a lower cost than atr
English whaler. there must be some
unfair tax levied on the English ship
to which the American ship is not
liable; and the discovery and remov-
al "f any such unfair burcen, ought
to be deemed the hounden duty of
our Legislature.

THE RADICAL.
MISREPRESENTATION IS, 1s4s.

BOWLING GREEN AcADEMY.-This
Institution is now opened under encour-
aging auspices. The teacher, Mr.. JOHN
HUBBARD, is a gentleman e~minently
qualified by education and a happy IA
cility for imparting instruction, to distin-
guish himself as a teacher. by render
ing the most valuable servicesto his pu-
pills in all the branches of english and
classical literature. His liberal attain
merts, industry, and the attention which
it is said he devotes to his pupils entities
him to the patronage of the citizens of
our county who feel the importance of
bestowing on their sons and daughters
the most valuable gift in their power-a
good practical, or liberal education
Our county is seldom favoured with op
portuniiies of this kind for the educa-
ton of the rising generation, and it is
hoped and believed that the qualifications
of Mr.. Hubbard as a teacher will be du-
ly appreciated. For terms of tuition we
refer the reader to the advertisement Of
Mr.. II. on the fourth page.
We understand that the district school

management of ]. P. Hubbard, the for
mer teacher.

THE SOUTH SEA FIsHERIEs.-A-
mong the articles from foreign journ-
ais received at this office from our Eu.
ropean correspondent is a review Of
a work on the Western Australian
Company's settlement Of Australia,
in which we find an allusion by the
reviewer to the ascendency ofour en-
terprising whalers in the South Sea
fisheries, which is interesting to poll
ticians as well as those who are int.
rested in this important branch Of a.
merican enterprise. We therefore
copy it as follows:--St. Republican.
There is another point connected
with Western Australia, 10 which
we shall think it our duty TO allude
on every suitable occasion. The
whale fishery on its coast is rapidly
increasing in Importance, but is al
most entirely in the hands OF Ameri.
cans and Frenchmen. During the
first three months Of l84l, no less
than twenty.eight vessels, averaging

fact that though Spencer and Com

were led to the halter, not a word
passed between them, although pre-
viouly Spencer had protested that

proof conclusive Of The latter's guilt.

MLLE,sM.-The Albany Argus
states that about fifty people in that
city, put On their ascension robes
and refused to go to bed. expecting
to be taken up before morning. 1t
is often the case hat those who stay
up all night. are taken up before day !;
but in this instance, the Argus says
they were only taken in which
doubtless in their opinion was n mis-
take. There was something wrong
in the calculation. Again Mlllerism
is only a cypher, which perhaps ac-
counts for its not beng good at fig

ILLINOIS RELIEF LAws.-The Otto

ion of the U. S. Supreme Court in this
matter. says: In reply TO the often re-
peated question, will our Judges take
the decision of the Supreme Court Of
the United States as their rule of action?
Wemay answerthat we understand they
will in all cases that are obviously cover
ed by this decision, such as mortgages,
deeds of trust, &C., but, although we be-
lieve the opinion of Chief Justice fancy
clearly goes TO declare all relief laws
imPairing the obligations of contracts
made previous to the passage of those
laws, unconstitutional-yet as the deci-
sion itself, from the nature of the case
upon which it vas made, doee4or 60 to
that extent, we understand our Judges
will sustain the relief laws of this State,
SO far as they have reference to sales I'M
der simple executions. 1t seems, there
fore, necessary, before we can get COM
rid of our odious relief(!) laws,
a case covering the whole ground
should be taken up to the Supreme
Court.
