count of the West because if goods are insured
IN the East, the premium paid is at leastequal
to the risk. Nothing is lost by the East. II
the General Government will not make sur
vey and chart of the coast of Florida, or clear
the Mississippi of its tributaries of obstruct ions
as it has the navigable part of the Delaware
and other rivers in the East, goods, destined
for the West should not be taxed with duties
until they reach their Interior destination
The boast Of certain politicians, that the East
pays in duties into the treasury nearly the
whole revenue of the country, may gull some,
but the assertion is an insult to all intelligent
men. There is no man acquainted with the
laws Of trade, but knows the customer paws
the duty on imported good. The duties paid
by the importer, are part of the first cost of
goods, because by our custom-h house laws, the
duty has TO be paid before the goods pass into
the hands of the importing merchant. That
our custom house laws are framed TO the det-
rinent of the West, we will show in some fu
ture article. AT present we wish to invite
the attention Of the West to the real interests
of the central basin. We have no wish TO
make sectional question of this matter nor do
we think there is any occasion to do so. Our
own representatives have been recreant TO their
duty, whilst the representatives of the Allan
tic slope, have attended to the interests of
their constituents. Let the people of the
West select for representatives. men who will
attend TO the interests Of their constitute nts, re-
gardless of frowns or favors, save the frowns
and lavors of their constituents, and an appro-
wing conscience. SO long as the time of rep
resentatives is employed in intriguing and
caucussing for their own interests, the inter
ests Of the people will be neglected. Let the
people of the West recollect, when they 60 to
the polls, that though the neglect of western
interests, by the General Government, the
West loses annually about two millions Of
dollars, and let them select for representatives
honest and capable men who cannot be cajoled
by the contracted politicians ofthe East. Let
every man remember that part of this loss of
two millions of dollars falls on himself; and as
an integral part of the government it is his
duty to sustain the claims of justice. The cen
trail basin asks nothing but justice, and if our
representatives. are true 10 their constituents,
Justice will be awarded us. If our own rep
resentatiyes disregard our interest, we cannot
expect the representatives. Of the .lantic
slope to watch over them.

O~rTO THE PUBLIC.-It is well known
that the Newspapers in this city. aided by our
business men, entered into an arrangement 10
receive by Telegraph regularly the foreign
news on the arrival of the steamers, and the
domestic intelligence and markets. MIR. o.
Reilly himself made the arrangement with us.
and while he remained in Louisville the agent
he procured 10 transmit such intelligence, MIR.
J. c. Clark attended to his duties, but since
Mr.. OR. has left that city we have been ne
elected by this agent in the most shameful
manner The America arrived on Thursday
night or Friday morning and her news was in
Louisville on Friday. We kept our paper
back until q late hour on Saturday morning in
order TO furnish the news 10 our readers but it
did not come Notwithstanding the agent was
that we were, through his carelessness, long
way behind our neighbors. and our business
men suffering Inconvenience if not loss. On
Monday this agent informed us by Telegraph
.
kind should occur again. We hoped he would
keep his word, and let the "neglect" pass with
out censuring him for it. The steamer Her
man arrived at New York on yesterday and
we are informed by the TelegraPher in Louis
Vile that the news brought by her is in that
city-it has been transmitted, to St. Louis too,
no doubt, and is published in the morning pa
pers Of both cities, while we are neglected by
the agent and compelled 10 go TO press at 10
o'clock without word of il. We are salts
fed that if Mr.. 0'Reiily was in Louisville he
would not suffer people who have dealt so
fairly BY him and who are throwing so large
an amount of business upon his other lines
and making them profitable TO be so shameful
| ly treated. We make this publication tina;
our patrons may know why it is we are SO late
with our paper, and why they have not recei-
we'd the news.
We respectfully request the Louisville pa.
pers to copy the above.
