.4nterican System--Facts speak for themselves,
and contradict predictions of those opposed to the
protection of our national industry. In every in
stance where the government has by high duty ena-
bed the American to get to work before he was ruin
ed by British capitalists, the article protected has
fell in price to the consumer. Plain cotton cloth
sold (of an inferior quality at 80 cents; better can
now be had at cents the yard and in place OF send
ing money to India to purchase humhuns our ou'
ward bound vessels take large quantities OF cotton
cloth to that country. Spun cotton before the high
protecting duty was imposed sold at the northern
factories at from 70 to IS cents, by the quantity
the same quality OF yarn can now be had In any
quantity, at % cents, whilst the English price cur
rent quotes the lowest prices at more that q cents
per Id. and in few years we anticipate that ship
nents of cotton yarn of cloth. will be made to Great
Britain in place Of the raw material. When the du-
ty on cut nail, was laid, the price was 10 cents the
Id. now any quantity can be had I'm Aexandrla) at
seven cents The price of writing paper, when the
duty was laid, was for No. /, about IS 50 it can
now be had at IS IS. These are facts which ad-
NIT of no dispute, and establish the principle we
have ever advocated. Give American enterprise d
fair start, and the genius Of the people will ensure
success to the exertions of freemer.


| One striking advantage is mentioned by every per-
son who has visited any OF the northern manufaeur-
ing villages. The poor class are without exception,
well provided for-thelr wages keep them from want,
and the knowledge of their ability to maintain them
selves has removed that debasement that exists IN
the lower rank of this and other states The rising
generation by this means prepared to act an non
orable part in after life, and feel some Of that pride
which should be cherished in the bosom Of every
freeman.


1t is certainly sound policy to encourage the max
ing of every article necessary in the event OF for
eign war. No person conversant with the evils en-
countered in the last war; be ratorous to their
country as to wish to have them again encountered.
