This single instance OF consumption by manu-

from the absence OF protection in that year, IS a
fair specimen OF the action of the entire system,

Our Agricul,urist of the Soo.h-T mean the
six Cotton. growing States, viz: South Caroline,
Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and
Tennessee-heaGed by MIR. Calhoun, have been
most loud in their complaints agsins. a Protec..

duty which went ~ support The Manufactures OF
the North. This is untrue and eau be very easily
shown, to demonstration. We will CHE few
articles which the politicians of those States have
particularly selected, and overwtem them With
their own figures. First, psfsr. They furnish too,

Ia speech made at tho Anniversary Of the
American Institute by Hon. A. II. II. Stuart of
Va. he called the attention of the audience 10 the
fact that while The product OF these six States,
Cotton paid duty of but FIVE per cent. in the
English market, the Agricultural products Of all
other States paid an average duty of $50 per cent
and their immediate neighbors. Virginia and
Kentucky, a duty of nearly 1000 per cent. on
their Toblcco crop when shipped TO British
port Thus they are in receipt o. both home and
foreign protection. Ourco growing politicians
seem to forget the fact that England is using
sr;ong exartions to raise Cotton in her own Esst
India Colonies, and her whole legislation with
Egvptis with q view OF becoming favored Gus.

fact of her position.
will now refer to a few of tho beneficial re-
suits which have arisen from tho present Tariff,
ard the consequent competition, talent and in
gcnuity which have been brought TO bear upon
American manufactures. Almost every article
exhibited at the late Fair OF the American insti-
tute show great Improvement in quality. Cloths
Cassimeres Flannels Cslicoes, Sheetings, Shirt
ings, &C. &c. are all equal to the best imported
articles. The Flint Glass there exhibited has
greater refractive force, and is much whittier than
anv imported, while the style of design is in
initely superior 10 the English, In France the
arts Of design have formed a part of the common
schsol education of the operative, and conse-
ouently the English silversm;th has often TO ap-
peal to the designs OF the French tInma IN to beau

proyements in the application Of the fine arts to
the mechanic arts which were introduced into
England by the energy Of Wedgewood, she ha,
stood comparatively still. leaving the field Of
ornamental design TO the French Our manufac-
turers, however, have profted by her supineress,
beauty to their designs. The lamp Girahdolea,
Candelabras, sc. sc. exhibited at the late Fair
were rare specimens OF graceful form and artist

equal to The hes. French
