TIC the same effect is President JEFFERSON s
we'll known letter 10 Benz. Austin in 1916, when,
in urging the necessity Of Protection to Manu-
factures, he says:

Now listen tu De WITT CLINTON, in his Mes

nitely, but it cannot be needed What we wish
our correspondence TO regard and appreciate is, not
the opinion of Gen. Jackson, or Mr.. Jefferson, or
Gov Clinton, rs Such, bat the reasons they offer,
because of their intrinsic force. 1t was for the
sake Of the Famsr, and hot of any other class,
that all these urged the imposition Of Protective
Duties, So as to cherish and build up Manuiac-
turcs among US. And these reasons are just as
valid to-day as ever, and the advantages they

1t is as clear to our mind as any demonstration
can be, that the Farmers ofths country will this
year receive twice as much value for their pro-
duue as they could have done in the absence of a
Tariff, They raise and sell many articles for
which they would have no market in the absence
OF Protection; and they receive more for all be-
side. Thus we have seen, during the last two
months, d decided and general advance in the
prices of Agricultural Produce in the face of the
most enormous receipts of such Produce at the
seaboard from the interior. This arises from the
immense demand ior and consumption Of those
articles in our Manufacturing districts, which far
excels the foreign demand OF US at any time.
Cd. As to the Commercial interests, immediate
and secondary:
This has been well employed the past year, and
has done good business. Seamen obtain better
wages now Than they did in l s42; Ship Carpen-
te 8, Stevedores, &c. have more work; Ship own
ers are making good profits. Yet the Sailors
were harangued in our streets Just after the PIE
sent Tariff passed, and assured by MAJ. Davezac
and other such demagogues, that they would never
receive decent wages again, nor could their bust
ness be good, until the Protective Tariff should
be abolished. They were duped by these stories
then; can they be now

tiers, hiasons, sc. &c.
We submit the case to the men themselves
Mechanics! is no. your business better than in
lS4l or lS42 Consult your memories, and an
swe- candidly. Is there not more work, and on
ths whole better wages Look around you and
compute the number Of men employed and the
amount they earn. Then count the cost of the
necessaries OF liie and strike balance. We
do Mt ask you 70 take our word, but examine for
yourselves. You may say, indeed, that the Tia
riff mas not wrought the change; but if so, you
are surely mistaken. Look at the matter calmly
and closely, and you will see that we have more
work at home because we donot allow Foreigners
to supply ou, markets freely and profusely with
what we can as well make for ourselves This
has set thousands to work building mills, facto-
res, workshops, SC. making machinery, imple-
ments, and the Ike, as we'll es IN producing here
the articles which we formerly bought abroad.
All this makes work for the Mechanic, Artisan
and Laborer, as well as customers out of former
rivals; for the Families which once rivaled end
tended to depress his Grain and Meat in distant
scaports now buy Vegetables, Fruits, &c. of him
night at home, end he does ier better than for
merly, although grain may not have rsen much
in price on the seabcari Meantime, We are
able to buy more such articles as We really need
from abroad because we ere making the other sort
at home Commerce Dies better always on g
sound, healthy, beneficial uade than on mistaken
and perncious one. Oar ships obtain more fEeisht
on the dys-stufs alone than they did on the fin
ishsd cloth. And 50 ali around. Why WON'T A
