Resolved That recognise the principles expressed in

objection bill passed by the 18th Congress for the i'm
of certain habors in Wisconsin, and for other
purposes the true principles OF the constitution, ana
such as receive our appreciation and support.
I'VE hail this resolution with pleasure. 1t shows that

high in favor OF national system of internal improve

important water courses. and may profit much by car

We cannot pay higher compliment to their public and

wise and statesmanlike course which is calculated to
preserve the genius of institutions with all the limit

whose annual production is two hundred and fifty six
millions OF francs.
Ribands at ST. Eenne employ thirty-two thousand five
hundred PERSONS whose productions annually amount TO
fifty-six millions OF francs.
Cashmere and other shawls employ at Paris and its
enyrOns ten thousand persons, whose productions are
eighteen millions year.
Jewelry and slversmths work in Paris alone support
fifteen thousand persons, who produce from them fifty
Stauary and other works in bronze, eight thousand
persons in Paris, producing thirty millions of francs

Clocks and bronzes eleven thousand persons; product
sixty millions of francs year.
Embroidery of various kinds and artificial flowers give
employment to great numbers of the most neglected, sui
fering and interesting class Of personsyoung women
whose annual productions in Paris alone are valued at
ten millions of francs.
There are also great many articles Of luxury and or
nament composed partly of marble and partly OF bronze
which employ many persons.
These articles pay in ports duty OF thirty per
cent ad valorem reducing which TO fifteen per cent
would increase the consumption in the United States OF
many OF the articles matter OF more interest and SO
counerbaance the decreased mpost Can be doubted
too that sympathy for the dise French would more
over increase the American demand
Relief afforded by such encouragement to the suffering
industry of so large and needya class of the French
would be much charity the money and provisions
sent last year to Ireland
The articles are most of them peculiar to France;
that any exceptional favor extended to them. would be no
injustice prejudice, offence to any other nation.
The United States sacrifice none of their principle Of
non-nterventon by such modification OF their mpost.
Facilitating the import of these French articles in no
way interferes will. American industry manufactures
the contrary, it would increase freghts, the
navigation would be nearly all own, and greatly in

other superabundance of this country cannot be sold to
