We have devoted a large proportion of this
evenings paper to the important subject Of sta.
tistics. Our worthy colleague spent few days
last week in New York, to make some arrange
ments for paper, and he siezed the opportunity
of collecting large mass of useful information,
for which we are indebted to his pen. # groups
together The evidences Of the unexamped COM
mercal prosperity which we are now enjoying
embracing shipbuilding, the increasing value Of its
materials, the freghs Of vessels the increasing ex-
ports Of the United States in the productions of our
SELL the importation Of specie, &c, &c. The sketch
is admirably made, and is worthy of the readers at
tention.
Never did our country, "the happiest las Mr..
Webster told Mr.. Clay in the Senate chamber
when he, Mr.. W., was illustrating the benefits OF
es-rade) the sun shone upon," enjoy in all its
branches Of industry higher degree of prosperity.
By land or by sea, in town or in country, its
agriculture, its manufactures its teeming and
splendid commerce, its shipping interest-evidences
of her success, and her improvement--are ex-
hibited in all directions. Our farmers are OBJ
features are thriving and multiplying all around in
spite of the miserable and fraudulent slang about
the tariff of ls42. Gold is pouring in instead of
flowing out, commerce is advancing, freights rising,
ships are multiplying, and they cannot be built
in numbers equal to the domand and yet party fac
ton is clamorng, classifying, and abusing the very
administration which has contributed its best efforts
to promote these blessings! ..
We also lay before our readers the first letter
which has been communicated to the "Union"
on commercial matters, under the signature of
"Prentice;" and we sure, when we state that it
is from the pen of Mr. Kettell, every one will read
it. His reputation as the author of money articles,
and as the present editor Of 'the Democratic Re-
view" is too extensive not to give value to any
thing in this line which emanates from his pen. We
have the pleasure Of announcing him as our week.

AN EXAMPLE WORTHY IMITATION Hugh M.
Breckenridge, Of Ptsburg, (well known in the lit
erature of the United States,) is wing. "He was
opposed (says the Westchester Republican, to the
annexation of Texas, because he believed it would
lead to a war; but Texas being annexed, he is not
one of those who are disposed utterly to disregard
the rights of their own country, involved in the
war now waging." The foowingis an extract from
a letter he has addressed to the public under his
own name: .,,.... ....
81 feel for the honor Of my country, and hope for
the success of her arms! As respects Mexico, |
consider our course just; Texas had right to an
mex herself. Mexico has insolently refused over
lures of peace. Having got into difficulty, in con-
sequence of annexation, do not see how a war was
to be avoided by the administration, without sur.
render of certain points which it could not surren-
der. II was bound to claim the Rio Grunde as the
line; and being at war, the amount due for spolia-
tons by Mexico must be secured by segucstraton
of California, or other territory, and indemnity must
be obtained for the expenses of war" .....

not belong to the "Mexican party

The receipts of -four have increascd AS STA bbls,
and the exports $4,000 bills. The receipts down
the Hudson last week were small, owing to break
in the canal; but in the last two days they have
been proporonally greater. The arrivals Of wheat
have increased GAS, 227 bushels, and the exports
793, 500 bushels The exports of Indian corn reach
near 100000 bushels against $4,000 last year.
The value Of these increased exports amount to
S4,5OO,000, an important item in the trade of this
city. ltisto be observed, however, that while the
price of flour has risen from 80 90 in June to s6,
and corn from .46 to so cents, freights have also
increased and the scarcity Of the latter has been
severe check to further transactions. The freight
on bushel of grain has risen from 3D.. sterling 10
July to l3d, and -four from d. 3D. per Dbl to S. 3D.

are mostly cheap. The last price for Indian corn
in Liverpool, Oct. 4, was 46d. per quarter Of 4SC
lbs, or s cobb. bushels. The orders that came by
that packet limited purchasers to 3sd. laid down id

are the high foreign freights alone disadvantage To-
the farmers, The freight on the Erie canal has
been advanced to one dollar from Buffalo to Albany
This is caused by the absurd law Of New York

The same improvement could be shown in freights
to Havre and still larger increase in the feights to
ports in Ireland, Scotland and to other ports in
England, than to Liverpool and London.
To give some idea of the nature and value of ar
ticles shipped to England, we submit the following
statement Of the cargo Of the Henry Clay packet
ship, which cleared for Liverpool from New York
in the last week of October, lS46-yiz:
so hhds. Of tnllow,
10 casks Of sperm oil,
$50 barrels Of beef and pork,
900 do. Of mess pork,

10 do. biscuit
40 do. apples,
2,7l7 boxes of cheese,
1870 kegs Of butter,
l76 bales Of cotton,
1873 casks of pearl ashes,
II, $50 bushels of white Genesee wheat,
8, 457 do. mixed wheat
The large and splendid ship New World, and a
rumber Of other ships, are now loading with
similar cargoes and the irresistible effect of these
facts, must be to satisfy any candid mind of
the great prosperity growing out of the prev
aence of more liberal commercial views through
out the world. We have seen, during the
present autumn, the prices of produce greatly
enhanced-the prices Of freight nearly doubled
the greatest activity prevailing in our seam-eng
shops, and in our manufacturing establishments
while ship-buders have more work than they can
find hands to perform. With all, too the receipts
of tolls canals and railroads have been greatly
increased. The receipts in the amount and value OF
produce, at principal towns have been larger
than ever known before.
What better Recommendation can the CONNER
cia measures of the government, and of the demo-
cratic party receive, than is supplied by this ex-
traordinary degree of prosperity, enjoyed by all
classes and in all pursuits throughout the country
We close these accounts by giving the following:
