DEAR SIR =--I have received your let
ter Of the l4lh Of this. month, and at the
same tinTe, was delivered me by Capt.
Barlow, piece ofdomestic fabric called
negro cloth, containing "a yards, for my
acceptance and inspection 1 thank you
for the kind and very aattering express
F.sions contained in your letter, and for
the handsome. present of The cloth. |
should be happy to return you something
more solid than empty thanks.


You ask my opinion of the American
System: Relative to that somewhat abb
rbing question, | should hope the iDhole
Of my past life and policy had giren a
satisfactory reply. ] have always been
of opinion that the people Of this nation
should manufacture ALL the fabrics that
their exigencles demand, if they can do
so-and That they can do SO, without
applying to the workshops of England,
France and Germany, who will doubt? ?
Cotton and Woolen we make in rare a.
bundahce, and Of a quality quite good
enough to answer ell bur wants and de-
mands. Why then should we travel to
Europe for our supplies2 For our Silks
and fine Linen we must for some time
to come go to the workshops Of Europe;
but / apprehend the day is not far dis
tant when even they will be manufacture
ed by NATIVE INDUSTRY.
