| In a speech made at the Anniversary of
the American Institute by Hon A. II. Il:
| Stuart of Va. he called the attention of the
| aud iencesto the fact that while the product
| of these six States, Cotton, paid a duty of
out five per cent.in the English marker, the
Agricultural product of all other States
paid an average duty of $50 per cent and
their immediate neighbors, Virginia and


kentucky, duty of nearly 1000 per C en-.
on their Tobacco CROP when shipped TO
British ports. Thus they are in receipts
of both home and foreign protection. Our
| cotton growing politicians seem to forget
the fact that England is using strong exer-
| tions to raise cotton in her East India
| Colonies, and her whole legislation with
| Egypt is with a view of becoming favored


customers of her Cotton. If the cotton


manufacturers of this country should be a
! few years without protection, the Southern
planter might have the satisfaction of sees


ing his negroes clad of Egyptian cottons,


spun aud woven in England. One of these
| States, Louisiana, receives a very large


share OF the protection of the present Tariff.


Her supposed crop of sugar this year will
reach as per the statement of The New
| Orleans Chamber of Commerce nearly 200.-
| 100000 lbs.; and this is protected by a
duty on foreign Sugars of ID cents per
pound. Her own consumption, in connec-
ton with the other 24.140000 flbs. of her


crop and this calculation supposes that the
,463 free colored and the 1,l0S.236


slaves consume Sugar in the same ratio as


an equal number of persons in the Nor


thern States. Their Molasses, of which


the amount is very large, is also protected


by high duty on foreign Molasses. Lou
| isiana, however, appears at last TO have a.

Twill now refer to few of the benefi.
cial results which have arisen from


the present Tariff, and the consequent COM


petition. talent and ingenuity which have


been brought to bear upon American man


ufactnres. Almost every article exhibited


at the late Fair of the American institute


shows great improvement in quality
| Cloths, Cassimeres, Flannels, Calicoes,
Sheetngs, Shirt;ngs. &c. &c. are all equal


to the best imported articles. The Flint
Glass there exhibited has greater refrac'


tive force, and as much whittier than any


imported, while the style of design is min


itely superior to the English. In France
the arts of design have formed part Of the


common school education of the operative,
and consequently the English silversmilh


has often TO appeal to the design Of the


French tinman to beautify his work ind


with the exception of those Improvements


in the application of the fine arts TO the


mechanic arts which were introduced into


England by the energy of Wedgewood,
she has stood comparatively still, leaving


the field of ornamental design to the


French. Our manufactures however,
profted by her supineness, and the best


artists have been employed to add beauty
!, TO their designs. The lamp Giradoles,
: Candelabras &C. &c. exhibited at the late


Fair were rare specimens of graceful form


and artistical finish. The quality Of Or


molu fully equal 10 the best French.
