proyal of him as our candidate, and of our en-
tire concurrence in their proceedings, therefore
RcOlrcd, That we feel highly gratihed, that

NEW MARKETS OPENING,

The last accounts from England cheer us with
The prospect. OF an additional demand for many
Of our productions. Shipments are made to
England of sailed beef, cheese, aud other products
of our farms. Brazil and China are about 10
take considerable quantities OF our cotton manu-
laclures All this is for the benefit of our farm
ers. So far as their produce is concerned, Agri-
culture is cncouraged-and The competition,
which our manufacturers can sustain with British
Coos, proves sufficiently that our Tariff on TO-
reign goods is TOO HIGH even for the protection oil
domestic manufactures. II We can ouisell, or
even cope with the British abroad nothing is
clearer, Than that our manufacturers can get on
perfectly well without any protection at home.
As evidences Of the prosperity Of both branch
es Of our exports, We lay before our readers The
following extracts oil foreign news brought by the

In this connection, we also copy the following

as regards our interest in that branch Of business
was that inrelaton 10 the repeal oithe duty on raw

tries. TIE manufacturers OF Great Britain have

increase Of American manufactures, and The
strong competition experienced in other markets

doub, The manufacturers OF Great Britain have
calculated largely upon The opening OF the China

vious arrival from England informed US that the

nearly aba ndoned in Manchester, the attention OF
those previously engaged being turned TO the pro-
ducton OF other kinds ofgoods."
What our farmers want is, that new markets
should be opened abroad for many Of the pro-
ductions of their farm and diaries and tina.
such reduction should take place in the duties
on Foreign goods, that they should get them
lower as well as similar productions OF our own
workshops.

We have seen, with some surprise and deep re-
grc, the Card of of Mrs. Lucy Barbour in yes
Icrdays Wing, in which she says, u have no,
seen the Enquirer, but have been told that MIR
Richie has attacked us through an ill-tempered
correspondent When will The narrow-mlndcd
OF his sex learn little liberality towards US -
&c We should deeply regret the circumstance
Of Mrs. Barbour or any lady being wounded or
taking any offence at any communication which
should appear in this paper We should say 4,

tina, iii would be unworthy" OF the columns OF
the Enquirer. Certain il is, we never intended
TO publish any communication which was design
ed t. atiact the ladies'. Nor DO We recolect any
production in its columns, which could have been
intended, or was al all calculated, 10 produce such
an impression.
As for the Knight Errant of The Wing, who is
so much more disposed TO attack US, than to spe-
city our offences, we treat his criticisms or his
sneers, as they deserve, with scorn and contempt.
