How insignificant does this disclosure present The
rotal Exnorts and Trade with her from the Grain
Growing States! For this trade We have Imports
from Great Britain, amounting yearly 10 about Fit
ty.6ve millions, Of which somewhere about len
Millions were by our laws duty free. Great Brit
ain has made discrimination OF her duties on our
exports-laying on the Cotton of The Planter duty
OF from five 10 seven per cent and on the exports
other than Cotton un average duty Of $50 per cent
With the exhibition Of such facts, and such bene
fits who will any longer impute blame to Charles

llfca,on and Free Trade TO hold on TO her benefits
from such foreign regulations With legislation
of your own country which sanctions, and Gov
ernment which approves such unequal results in
commerce, how can you expect ever TO have eithsr
a market or fair price for your produce
The statement of the export of d5 millions CT
Cotton from the Southern States, in contrast with
three millions eight hundred and seventy five thou
sand dollars as all the export from the groin grow
ing States shows not only depression OF the in
teress of those States; but should ever bring into
consideration the immense value OF the varied do
mesiic productions of those States in agriculture
and manufactures, and which, without exhibition
is consumed in the domestic support Of the nation.
Without detailing the whole let il suffice TO say
the single State oil Massachusetts sends out yearly

equal in value to the Cotton crop Of the whole

weullh and production in agriculture and manufac-
lures in l840 amounted 10 Ninety toMr Millions OF
dollars. The Capitalists of England so well un-
derstand and appreciate the wisdom OF measures
which lead 10 such results that they readily sup
piled on the credit Of the State, the necessary funds
for their Great Western railroad TO Albany, and
took tic loan of about seventy thousand dollars be-
low par. Alus, it be added-that the National Gov

which she must have for her manufacturers, and she
cannot exist without il. She has tried in vain TO
raise il? She has ransacked the world unsuccess
fully to find it.
Real reciprocity in trade is indeed very excellent,
if We could but have H. 1t would be thing we
never vet have had or seen. Great Britain can
never afford it TO US; and was she tomorrow TO re-
peal her Corn Laws, and open her ports TO foreign
supplies, ii would be no manner OF benefit 10 US
Ii would shorten the dieaDces and freight Of the
Bread-stuffs from the Baltic; from Germany and
from the Mediterranean which are now pressing TO
get into our market. They would fill up immedi-
ately the British market, and underaell and crowd

bushel and the cost of transportation from that port

Ii should be remembered the public documents
show that the home produce ograin of England sup
plies the demand for her consumption, within
nineteenth part OF the whole amount required. This
small balance she obtains, principally, from and
through her Colonies; securing the carrying trade
to her shipping and ship building interest, and the
residue she catches as she can and where she can
drive the hest bargain. We cannot gain anything
by, and have motive TO enter inro the scuf1e

Follow the dongs and not the teachings of Great
Britain. That Government exercises paternal
care for all her subjects Ii feels pledged that no
one of them willing to labor shall need employment
or want market for his productions. With her

difficulties 10 encounter. Hence, PROTECTION to

Previous TO the commencement Of Manufactures
in New England the Western Farmers found little
market with us. In addition to their Grain, Cattle
Sheep, Hogs, &c. n almost innumerable quantities
are now continually driven out for the markets OF
Philadelphia, NewYork and Boston. Have Free
Trade for one month, and all this only market of the
Farmer of The West will be broken up and their
prosperity gone. Now the Cattle Of Missouri Iii

Manufactures are now supplied and shipped in such

prosperity Of Commerce and Manufactures. Very
many Farmers now have experience and intelli-

Since the establishment of our Government, We
have already three times tried Free Trade. Each
time ii brought US to the brink of dissolution and
ruin. And why not satisfied with the e1.

lutionary War. England crowded in her manufac-
lures upon US. The price of our Labor was reduced
TO thirty cents per day. The second time was
