The Saratoga (N. W Sentinel makes The
following among other remark, On the propos-
cd nnvrntion at Harrisburg for tic benefit ot
the Manufacturing interest


The subject /, one of intense interest to the
popNlition OF the United States and one which
should command the attention Of every ndyd-
ua citizen. The depressed state Of our wool
len manufactures, and the ilnpropltlous Influence
Which Il will exert over the other departments
OF industry, have long been the Objects Of seil-
Gus consideration, The almost unbuunded ex-
tent Of territory, aud the fertility OF our SOIL
will give to tine United States reputation among
the nations Of the earth, which has never, litb-
erto been enjoyed by any people. iut to pre-
serve that reputation, and secure to il a durable
and lasting character, our government must feel
Interested in promoting the staple commodities
Of the country. Some means ought TO be adopt
ed TO prevent the consumption offorcign articles,
esnecially where they can be made the natural
products OF our own soil. 10 enjoy the inde-
penelence Of political liberty, and still 10 be de-
pendent on the manufactures OF foreign pow
CT for those materials which may be raised in the
bosom Of our country, IS too huuiliatine


III the growth otwoo, and in the produce OF
bread stiis, the northern section of these states


IS most particul,rll utcresiel; and rs there is 4
great surplus Of home consumption IN the latter,
It becomes the tu'y OF Our inhabitants 10 increase
the de ,nalid for the former. At this period be.
tween 10 and l2,O0O, 900 of dollars are annually
expended n the purchase of European goods,
and for which scarcely am individual article is re
ccved III return The policy which the govern
ments Of Europe have pursued has been such,
that our own manufactures in woollen, especial
| lv, have been almost wholly excluded from ON
markets. The English wool dealers have beer
permitted to pour in food of cloths, and inun
date our emportms Of commerce with those
materials, the moneys to pay for which oreht Il
have been employees in rewar(ling the industry
and exertions Of our own citizens By th
course, the operation of about 10000 Of ou
inhabitants has been seriously injured. The
surplus Of grain, which has, since the termina
ton Of the European wars, been raised in th'
I United States, and which could not be dispose'
of in foreign market, has induced farmers II


direct their attention to the growth of sheep; am
the policy of our government, if not changed


will blight the hopes which have rested upo


the production Of wool.
