"For the most ready production Of manufactured
Z goods. il is necessary that all the materials of
: which they are composed should be found, to-
= gcther with the motive power, in neighborhoods
capable of producing the best and cheapest food
fox the support of the operatives, and that all
these circumstances should xistand be easily ac-
cessible." *H sfra +.
This certainly looks to making market ON
the land for all the products of the land The
people of Ohio and Indiana have iron ore and
fuel in abundance, and they have food for which
they need market, and all they need is that
they may be protected in their efforts TO bring
the workman to eat the food while converting the
ore and fuel into iron. They need, and must have,
protection against the unceasing fluctuations Of
the English market, rendered more serious by
the existing ad valorem system. Give them
that, and they will speedily prove that they
have precisely the position described by our
contemporary as being that combining all the
advantages required "for the most ready pro-
duction of manufactured goods" and thereafter
will supply iron more cheaply than can be done
by any country in the world. The people Of the
South have food and cotton n-wool in abundance,
and all they need is that they may be protected
against the British monopoly of machinery,
brought about by constant succession Of pro-
hibition Of the export Of either machinery OF of
artisans, who might teach the nations of the
world how machinery might be made, and now
maintained under the mask of free trade-Byit-
ish free tradei Let them take from them
selves that protection, and they will soon
prove to the world the truth of the words of our
Democratic contemporary, that the true place
for the spindle and the loom is in the midst of
the cotton-ields. Thus far, the cotton manu-
facture has, as he most justly says, g occupied
wrong locality; that is to say, it has, in rela-
tion to facility of production, occupied position
disadvantageously situated, when purely eco
nomic principles are taken into account" and it
has done so because England was resolved, at
all cost and at all hazards, to make herself "the
workshop of the world"
Our readers can scarcely fail to rejoice with
us in seeing that the old opponents Of protection
are awaking to the wastefulness of the system
which looks to making Great Britain the com
mercial mistress of the world. They will re-
joice still more when they shall come to see the
admission of the utter absurdity ofsending from
the land all its products, thus impoverishing
both the land and its owner; to which we shall
ask their attention in our next.

We take pleasure (says the Frankfort (Ky.)
Commonwealth in publishing tho subjoined letter
from the Hon. c. S. MonEHEAD. in compliance with
the request of the gentlemen to whom it was ad.

WAsHrNGroN, Feb. 2. 1851.
GENTLEMEN: have the honor to acknowlcdp 90
the receipt Of your letter informing me that had
been unanimously nominated, by a large and re.
spectacle meeting Of the Wings of Scott county, as
a candidate for reelection to Congress, and ear
nestly insisting that shall yield to what you are
pleased to say is the wish of the Wings Of the dis
triot l am not nsensiblc to this evidence of the
appreciation of my fellow citizens, and feel deeply
grateful for it. There is no man more willing than
to make all reasonable sacrifices to serve them.
1t is not unknown to you, however, that in public
address last fall declared my determination not
to be candidate for Congress at the ensuing elec
ton. My private business, and the obligation to a
large and growing family, thought inn periously
demanded this of me. made the declaration in
good faith, intending to abide by it. l have con-
sidered that thus gave an implied pledge to the
Wings of the district that my namo should not be
used in opposition to any one of the party who
might become candidate. gentleman has been
| announced with whom have always maintained
relations of personal kindness and friendship.
l could not, with my feeling of what is due to
him, and to the party to which we both belong,
consent that my name should be used in compel
tion with his. Instead of healing any supposed
divisions of party, cannot but believe that the
contrary effect would be produced. What might
feel myself compelled to do in obedience to the
general wish Of my party, but for this state of tho
case, it is unnecessary now to determine.
As ii is, could not have the appreciation of nv
own conscience, if were to consent to have my
name brought forward under existing circum-
stances.
You will do me the justice to believe that it is
painful TO me to be compelled to resist the earnest
appeals of those whom so highly value as your
selves and those you represent. But am persuaded
you will not disapprove Of my course
rendering to you, gentlemen, and through you
to those you represent, my most grateful acknow-
ledgmcnts, remain your friend and obedient ser

FnEE BANKING IN oHIo.-The Legislature of Ohis
have had under consideration, for some time past,
a General Free Banking bill. The basis upon
which the system is formed is the pledge of one
dollar of State stocks for every dollar Of bills for
circulation the banks may issue. This is in addi
fion to the capital stock and other means Of the
banks for the redemption of their notes. The Ohio
State Journal thus speaks of the measures
"The effect of the passage of the Free Banking
bill will be- to draw back to Ohio the millions ofour
sto,k, now scattered abroad over the Union and
over Europe. The annual payment of our interest,
amounting TO million Of dollars, will then
be to own citizens, or to those Within own
country, thus saving at home n large amount that
otherwise would 60 abroad, in specie or its equiva

The Governor and members of the Legislature of
New Jersey, praying the establishment of line OF
steamers to the western coast OF Africa:
TO The honorable The Senate and House Of Representa-
tipes ottte United States Of america in Congress
The undersigned, the Governor and the mem
bers of the Legislature OF New Jersey, respectfully
beg leave to express to your honorable bodies our
decided approval of the establishment OF n hne OF
steamers the western coast of Africa, agreeably
to the proposition which submitted in the able
report of the Committee Naval Affairs at the last
session of Congress
We have long been convinced Of the necessity of
some more effective means being adopted for the
suppression of the African slave trade; and we are
fully satisfied that the BEST II not the only
means that can be successfully used for the accom-

that of planting the coast OF that benighted

people, whose example, influence, and civil insti

would not have such a tendency. lie proposed,
before 1t was too late, that the committee RISE when
he would offer resolution that the House hereafter
meet at eleven o'clock. II this should be agreed
to, be would, directly after he got the floor, move
that the House again go into committee
MIR. WENTWORTH. Move the resolution when
we get through the bill.
Mr.. BArLy's motion was disagreed to.
Various amendments were offered, and voted
down; among them. ono by MIR. BURT, to strike
out the appropriation of $25,000 for the improve
ment of the channel Of the harbor at Charleston,
South Carolina.
Mr.. Nom ULLEN, pending an amendment, said
that it evident the majority intend to pass the
bill. Let the responsibility fall their shoulders
He begged gentlemen 10 remember, and particu-
lary the other side of the House, that all the
appropriation bills are yet to be disposed of. II
they defeated, the fault would lie at their door,
not his. He must be permitted to express his sur
prise at the course pursued by the chairman of the
Committee Oh Commerce, (Mr. McLANE,) who had
been represented to hin, before he (hlr. McNlUL-
LEs) came here, as number one Democrat. IT
| the gentleman had given true exposition Of the
principles of the Democratic party, he did not be-
long to it. He begged gentlemen from the North,
before they passcd the bill, to remember that the
southern people yet sensitive on the subject of
northern agitation If the bill pass, it will take
two millions of dollars from the treasury and the
vacuum must be filled up. He did not blame the
high tariff men for voting for this bill, but he must
express his surprise that Democrats should vote for
the bill. lie appealed to the committee to dispose
of the subject now before them, and then go into
| the Legislation Of the country
Mr.. CALDWELL, of KY. moved nm amendment,
to the effect that the money proposed by the bill
shall not be expended unless there be asupus the
treasury the thirtieth Of June, 1861. He entered
| into brief statement TO show that the expendi-
lures would exceed the receipts.
