SuGAR.-The subject Of sugar and
the sugar duties, is beginning to occu-
py the public mind. Gen. Houston
has moved resolution in the U. S.
Senate for suspension of the duties
for two years. Mr.. Slidell showed
last session, that the production of the
Cnitad States had fallen off from AGO..
100000 to l2o,Ooo,OOo pounds, rate
OF dimiuntion threatening the extinc-
ton Of the culture. Ifthere is soon to
be nothing to protect, the tax for pro-
lection will speedily become superflu-
Gus for producers, and additionally bur
densome to consumers. The impor.
tation Of sugar last year amounted to
S24,OOO,OOO. This sum was pre-.
MUM paid on the production of the
l2O,OOO,0o0 of pounds furnished to the
general consumption by Louisiana and
Texas, the value Of whose crop wa.
probably not more than S7,5OO,OOO
or nearly the exact amount paid b.
the people each year for the protection
of the staple.
