Commercial independence of she ACufh.
In 1862, the Dutch stood toward Great Britain
very much as the United States now stand to-
ward the Confederate States. They were the
carriers of Europe and Of England, just as the
Northern United States have been the carriers OF
the Southern Confederate States Of America
Parliament passed the celebrated navigation act,
which prohibited " all foreigners from importing
into England, in their ships, any commodity
which was not the growth or manufacture OF
Their own country" Our Northern brethren
resoTtsd to similar expedient to secure to them
selves, and oust Great Britain, Of the foreign
carrying trade of the United States and had q
law passed by the Congress of the United
States by which it is provided thai
No goods, wares and merchandise shall be
imported into the United States from any for
eign port or place, except in vessels of the Uni
ted States, or in such foreign vessels ss truly
and wholly belong to the citizens OF subjects of
that country of which the goods are the growth
production or manufacture, or from which such
goods, wares or merchandise can only be, or
most usually are, frat shipped for transpoTta-
ton"
This law is now on their statute book and Of full
force Here is a most admirable example for our
imitation sanctifsd by the wisdom of ages, and
indorsed by both the United States and England.
1t is policy that will make US independent ia
our business of any nation. 1t will make eli
nations deal with US directly, and thus learn to
know and respect US. Why should we not
carry it out toward them None buta CONNER
eial reconstructionist, in favor Of giving The
North special advantages as heretofore, can oP-
pose it. We entreat every man in the Conted-
crate States, who desires their commercial Ade-
pendsnee, to weigh wen the subject Of this artl-
| Gle, and to take active measures for having It's
policy enforced. Congress at three sessions mas
failed to act upon it. We beg leave, most re-
spectfully, to submit this measure-Charlestoa
