T'APPAN \ BENNETT, ia Washington
L street, Boston, propose 20 publish, by sub
scripuon, in fourteen monthly numbers, at the low
price of twenty FIVE cents cach the
LIFE OF WASHINGTON by Jared Sparks.
Each number to contain between forty and filtv
pages and be embeshed with the following fine
s:eel and copperpae engrayInas, viz:
| Portrait ol Washington at 49, by Peae.
, do Mrs. Washington at %, by Wellaston.
View of Noun, Vernon.
Battle OF Braddock's defeat.
: Head Quarters at Cambridge.
Head Ruarters at Newburg.
Plan OF farm at Mount Vernon.
s Plan o. Boston and environs
9 Head Quarters at Moristown.
10 Battle of Brandywine.
IL Portrait of Washington, by Stewart.
u Encampment at Valley Forge.
l3 Battle OF Germantown.
If Fac sme of Washington hand writing.
The portraits copied from the original
paintings. The plans, sketches, and other engra-
wings, have been compiled from the besl drawings,
well English and French as American. Spe-
cial aid was derived from a series OF manuscript
drawings IN the possession OF General La Fayetie,
which are executed with scientific accuracy and
beauty.
The we'll known ability or the author, the album
daat means which he possessed, viz: more than
two hundred folio volumes of original mamuscr ipt,
the public offices in London, Paris, Washington
and IN all the states which formed the conedrracy
during the revolution, as well as the access he has
gained 70 valuable private papers in different parts
OF the country-have brought into his hands mate
rails, original and important in their character
which we trust will be found TO have contributed
essential aid in enabling him to execute with more
accuracy and completeness his main purpose, and
thus to have compensated in some degree for the
time and labor they have cost. Its publication has
not only Involved extended and laborious research
es on the part OF the editor. but great pecunary re-
sponsbltes on the part OF the publishers.
The price affixed 10 this work is less, when the
cxertion is considered than that of any other pub
lea ion In Europe or America. The investment
aud expenditures connected with this undertaking,
are mach greater than usually attend such publica-
tons; aud II will be apparen, that the publishers
must RELY on an extensive sale Tor their remunera-
ton.
The engravngs alone, are thought by many to
be worth the cost Of the whole work. To nonsub-
scribsrs the price will be enha nced.
Many testimonials of unqualified appreciation
nigh, be- added, from gentlemen who have exam
med the work; bu, the publishers conceive Ito be
unnecessary.
Letters have been received from MANY dis;in-
g''snea persons concurring in the opinion, thar the
age.
Among the MANY who have given the work The
ana oil t"eir subscription and tntiuehce are the fol-
loving gentlemen, VIZ: John Quincy ADAMS Mar

ENGLISH FREE TRADE.

To give our readers an idea of what En-
gland practically means by her notions Of
Free Trade We annex few items from her
revised Tariff Of 1912. She talks aud the.
crises great deal about the beauties and
efficacy Of the thing called Free Trade
but when she comes TO act che always man
ages TO have all the benefits on her own
side; and oil mus, admit, that the, Free
Trade which benefits one Of the parties en-
gagged in 1t, and injuries the other, is not The
thing 1t is cracked up for, as il lacks that
active spirit Of reciprocity, which alone
could make it mutually advantageous.
The Free Trade offered to US by En-
gland, then, in her revised 1arif, is on the
articles named below, as follows,
On salt beef SO per cent.
Ga Bacon 100 per cent.
On Butter 20 per cent.
On Indian corn 80 percent. average.
Va Flour 30 per centaverage.
On Rosin &c per cent.
On Sperm oil 80 per cent.
GA Sperm candles SO per cent.
Va utHdhuiactured tobacco ,UuU per CT.
va manufactured Tobacco 200 per CT
On sailed pork SO per cent.
On soap 200 per cent.
Va spirits from grain 500 per cent.
Va spirits from Uoolasses 600 per cent.
The above is a fair view Of tho Free
Trade we are TO expect at The hands OF En-.
liand and We would ask every true heart.

Protection 10 Agriculture by the
TARIFF

The following will show the protection
afforded by the Wing Tariff OF ls42, to the
enumerated agricultural articles, which are
all moderate excep, perhaps to the articles
Of Cotton and Sugar, and considering the
importance Of their culture, The protection
TO them could not be less TO afford that pro.
lection due from The country 10 the plant
ing interests:
Cotton, duty 8 cts. per pound.
Sugar, % cts. per pound.
Wool 30 per Ct and 3 cts per Id.
Beef cts PER pound.
Pork , cts per pound.
Ham and Bacon cts. per pound.
Cheese 9 cts per ID.
Butter 5 cts per ID.
Lard 3 cts per ID.
Potatoes 10 cts per bushcl.
Flour 81 25 cts per barrel.
Wheat % cts per bushel.
Hemp 50 per hundred.
Oats 10 cts per bushel.
We have deemed il proper TO sketch the
above items Of protection afforded the Agri.
culu-lsts by the tariff, because, from the
manner in which the Loco Focos speak Of
the Wing Idrif, one who may never have
read II, would infer that no other interest
except that Of the manufacturers were pro-
tecied by II. And We will seize this occa
sion TO say TO farmers, that, If they study
their own interests, they will stick by Tie
tariff, and support HENRY CLAY and the
Wings, as both he and ,hey cling 20 the
principles Of protection as the only shield
left TO the producing and latoring classes
If society.
We ask the farmers Of our country 10
bear this truth in mnd-if the duties pro-
tec,ive Of agriculture were taken oil, as tie
Free Trade Locoiocos desire they should
be, our country would be flooded with the
produce OF Europe, and our own Agricul
tursts would not get within 80 per cent Of
their present prices, in seasons of plenty
abroad, and all do know that the farmers
reward now is lIlle enoughiu all conscience.
Let all, then, who are IN favor OF protecting
American interests instead Of European in
teresis, vote for the Wings 10 represent
them in Congress. American TFkig.
