decd Advice.
The Now Orleans Commercial Bulletin
gives political lecturer from the Northwest.
Brick Pomsroy, WHO hes been holding forth
In the Crescent City. the following advice,
which il deems timely, and which, i fol.
lowed, might be useful:
60 back to the greet Northwest; tell them
that their outlet. the Mississippi RIVER, 10
open which the Yankees made them fight,
is blockadsl by mud, that Congress has IN
>,.i,ed them by giving one third the amount
To open that outlet that Boston asks 70 i'm
prove her harbor. Tell them that their
etea. outlet is without lighthouse OF even
buys TO mark the channel, and that they
are TO be taxed with tonnage. pilotagc and
llrhterago to get in and out OF Their riyer.-
4 I'll them that they are condemned TO use
the cross routes hy ral and canal 70 the
cas-, e. reach the West India Islands, IN
stead Of being allowed to employ the cur>
rem, OF their own river. Let them know
that New York has an annus subsidy OF
slao,0uO to run line OF steamers 10 Rio,
but New Orleans has nothing TO support
ths II trade with Cuba OF Mex co.
Advise them to address Hon. Lewis
Campbell. their Minister to Mexico, and res
4uest that he will negotiate trade treaty
with the countries south of New Orleans,
aud that he will inquire how il happens that
France and ENGLAND have assignments and
control Of the Mexican import duties, and
the United States 10 not recognized Let
him cell che NosehwVse~eo make Congress
rebuild the levsss and restore the sugar and
cotton market fes their muiss, flour, pork
and WHISKY. Tell them to resist the pros
posal to take Oft tho tax on the productions
which the Eastern iaoio les consume, as that
tax is a bounty TO Western manufacturers,
because they get all this provision aud fuel
without tho cpst Of carriage, which the East
has to paw This advantage will transfer
manufactures TO the West.
Sach are some OF tie topics which Mr.
pcneroy can DO us great good by discussing

They compose the basis OF u common inter
