The true nature OF the Zoll. Verein
should be examined, and the United
States stand ready 10 introduce their sta
pies, On The most favorable terms, the
moment that the power Of the kings is
superseded by that fthe people. These
are now clogged with duties of7import
and transit, and other charges which
might be mitigated 1t could be shown
that we might soon, under a rigorous
democratic administration, open new and
improve all the demands for our products
in the north Of Europe. 4 s''s
Switzerland is most anxious to increase
her trade with The United States; she
has carried it on under great disadyan-
,iages. Her cotton has been hauled across
France by several kinds of conveyance;
and her goods are shipped with the same
difficulty and loss !. She is now building
her railroad towards the south Of France
and the Mediterranean; and, by the
United States steamers, we can have her
drecfirade in imports and exports. She
lis skilful aud industrious, and her com
mand of capital, water power, and the
economy of the people and government,
would soon make her manufacturing
rival for England in cotton goods and
various other articles.
Then, there is the Medierranean--the
seat Of the movement for liberty in
modern times, and The home of ancient
civilization. II might easily be ours.
The carrying trade llbe done some day
by American built steamers and clippers,
and might be done soon. Yet we have
comparatively no commerce nor business
in The Mediterranean. Hardly five Amer
lean ships visit the Black Sea year to
more than thousand British; and the
appearance Of the Mississippi steamer on
the Levqnt was an apparilion. II Was,
however, glorious appavition, and its
errand was as noble as tho ship is formi-
rdable.
Time does not allow the further dis
Icussion Of the state Of our commerce in
Europe. Ii needs a vigorous and amend
ing hand. We see our ancient rival
England only commercially, bu. Ter
riiorially, in possession Of all the impor-
tant inlets Of trade. Her own seas she
has opened, bu. always subject to an
ordcrin council, and soon 10 be shut by

ley and DIsraei, 10 power. She is the
real tyran. Of the Danish Sound, for she
uphoIlis him for her own profit. She
