LAND FREE OF DUTY.

 The reports that we have received through the English prints about the free importation of Indian corn into the British ports have turned our attention to this subject Ii is tie great staff oi life for the mass of the iaborefs of tie South anI oG the Southwest. l. en- tcrs largely into the general consumption of the people, both in the x ogth and the Sotlth. It grows, besides, in most of the important sections of our extensive country. It is, ol course, one of the great staples of our agri- culture; but 1t is as desirable to Us as it would be 10 Great Britain, if il could be ia- troduced into tho consumption of her people. Some prejudice may exist against the use oi il in England; but it is prejudice only, which must yield to time. None are so intimately acquainted with the value of the grain as the people Of the United States, who use I II such variety ol ways, and who would hon. esily recommend 1t 10 ihe adoption oi other couriteies But the people of England might perhaps be better disposed to listen to the eX- perienced of one of their own coanrynen; and therefore, we beg leave to lay before them the contents of paper which was prepared for their benefit two or three years ago. Ii may even present, if not some new ideas, at least some old ones dressed ap inaneW shape, to our countrymen. They will be amused, if not instructed, by this panegyilc oi an En- lish gentleman on one of our great American productions. It has not, as iaras we are ad- Yised, ever been published before.
