When in addition to these obstacles, the diffi
culties presented by the peculiar nature of our
Institutions, the variety of the products of our
.Widely extended territory, and the restricted pow.
of.the National Government are considered,
tae li l likintnittee believe it would be next to impos
sible:to select any person as Envoy, who would
combine the corifideoce of all plrtions of the
Union, and who would ba qualified to cope with
the astute politicians of Europe, furnished as
they would be with all the minutia of statistics,
which their forms of G,ivernment enable them at
ill times to obtain, and tht.y fear that however
carefully the treaties might be prepared it would
be found when too late, that though the appear
ance of reciprocity might be preserved, yet the ad
vantages of the arrangement would be found on
the sidoof the European negheiator.
From the recent discussions in Congress it ap
pears doubtful whether the rlciprocal Treaties
now -existing in relation to navigation have pruv-
ed advantakeens, and therefore the Committee
copsider it v; ry uncertain if the proposed measure
would be beneficial to that portion of their fellow
• ,•
ettizenti. who are engaged in foreign Commerce;
*bile they believe that our internal trade would
MA derive any advantages therefrom, but on the
1, contrary, as so large a portion of the expence in

-, s „.faiiiiktion of her public works, has been for the
pose of facilitating the transportation of her

of obtaining relief from those financial embarras

Your Committee are a ware that strong induce
ments are held out to the wheat growing states,
to sustain the policy of reciprocal treaties, under
the idea that large quantities of Grain might then
be profitably exported to Europe, and especially
to Great Britain. This view appears to your
Committee perfectly delusive, or at least much
exaggerated, fur the following reasons among
°them
First—The Corn Laws now in operation there,
although somewhat modified in unimportant par
ticulars from those of 18:7, still impose a duty in
tome cases as high as 60 eta. pr bush. uponW heat,
& effectually exclude all foreign grain, unless the
price averages $1 98 100 per bushel, at which
late the duty is 24 per bushel. The Land hold •
ere, who entirely constitute the (louse of lords,
.and have a large preponderance in the House of
Commons, may possibiy yid! to the pressure
(rpm the manufacturing districts, but the strug
.gle will be violent and the consequences would be
ruinous to ate British agriculturists.
Secondly. The supply of foreign grain requir•
ed for the consumption of Great Britain is much
less than is generally supposed. In the year 1840,
when wheat was in great demand, the total im
portation for . home consumption was about
19,000,000 Bushels, equal to about 4 weeks sup
ply of which, however, only 2,430,000 Bushels
were from the United Slates. The total con•
sumption of Wheat for the same year was 2.08,•
000.000 Bushels, without including the portion
maneamured into starch, &c. so that the whole
Ot the Wheat produced at home would not fall
Tamil abort of 230,000,000 Bushels.
Thirdly, Foreign Wheat when wanted, can
be obtained lower at several places on the Euro
pean continent, thin in the United States, inde-
pendent of the cheaper freight and shorter time
required to brine it to Mallet.
In the year 18411 the British Government m ide
particular enquiries through their c msuls on this
subject, and the following statement is extracted
from the published report-:

this question .by the re c resematives 01 tbat sec.,
lion, wf ich has been manirested by the calling of
a Cony n ion of tobacco &rowers and the email•
thorized interference of Duff Green, but it should
be remembered, that all the nations of Europe la
bor , under embarasements in their fiscal rel,.
tions,—that the ingenoity has been more than
ever- exereised to devise some now source of tax
ation, and as all others have failed, the British g
vernm-ut has been driven to the experiment of an
income tax—the most unpopular or all—and nev
er before resorted to in time of peace. Under
these circumstances your committee cannot be.
here that any ot these nations would forego the
immense revenue they derive fro.o Tobacco un.
less they oatained in return some privileges
which however equitable they might uppear,coo Id
trot be surrendered w.thout fatal c msequences to
one, or all of the great interests of our country.
In considering Lhe effect which the proposed
mea•mres would probably- , have upon the manu
facturing interests of the Unicn, your Committee
fear that their remarks , may be attributed to sel
fish motives,and are aware that the leading argu
ments in favor of a protective policy aro so famil
iar to the Board of Trade, and the other citir:ns
of western Pennsylvania, as to render it unneces
sary to repeat them: they canout, however, in jus.
Lice, wholly pass them by, and although they do
not flatter themselves with the hope of presenting
any new views upon the subject, they would re
quest the candid atiention of trio Board to the few
übservati ms they offer.
From the earliest period of our existence as a
nation, the duty of government to protect all the
great interests of the country was declared, and
ill one roc th , first acts of Congress, s inciioned ty
the approval or Washington, the encouragement
of manuFacturcs was distmeily ricogn The
situation of the U.iitest States .13 the only neutral
maritime power, during the wars of the French
Revolution, by directing the public atteriti in to
the carrying trade ef the world, rendering all oth.
er interests fir a time sulpurvient to the cotnrner -
cid, to which, however, by the unjustifiable con
duct of Ithe belligereut puwere, in issuing paper
Blockades the famed Orders in Councils, the [her
En & Milan Decrees, &c , was cramped and fet.
tered and finally driven from the ocean. The
remnant of the capital eitiple3 ed in comme:eo
which was saved from loreign aggrossi-n and ra
pacity, was compe:led to seek new modes of in
vestment, and thence grew up the manuracturcs
sf the eastern States, and ail , same persons who
were ut one time the mast bitt r in their denim.
Mations of protection became its warmest and
most able advocates.
The tariff of 1816 introdueed ani enacted by
southern influence gave fresh i npetus to AMeris
can Industry, but it was not until t e passage of
the Revenue Bills of 1824 and 1828 that manu
factures in general were firmly established, but at
that time the leader of the South, having found
that all the ten fits of the mea , ure did not enqure
to his own section of the Union, became the
violent opponent of the policy he had previously
labored to establish, and twin that period until
the,present the ceaseless energy of southern poli
ticians has been din cted to the destruction of
the manufactures of the country, and the r‘durt-
Cum of the Mechanics there employe° to the con.
dition to the pauper labor , is of Europe and Asia,
or the degraded slaves upon their own pLinta •
tions.
The Committee c ,noot for a moment enter
tain the belief that this, interest which has thus
grown with the growth and strengthened with the
strength of the nation can evi r be tamely surren
dered to the control of foreivr powers; fur this
the true issue presected by t,,e resolution under
c ms duration, and that too in the m , st object iooa
hi., form, for it provides that the r ciprocal duties
so imposed shall in all cases be ad valorem duties,
whirrexperience has provcd to be totally insur
e. tnt caber for protection, or revenue; ani that
the only due mode of preventing the evasion of
the legal duties is by subjecting the itaap)rte ;
tide Jo a sprcifieduiy.
This policy is clearly condemn-A by NlcCuls
loch, who although an advocate of flee trade,cor
really observes that' it is an abuse and pervertion
",olCommercial Treaties to make them instiu
" ments lon rcgslating duties. or prescribing Cus.
tom House re4ulations."
One of the injunctions of the Father of his
Country was that "in peace we should prepare for
war." This p eparation surely cannot consist
merely in the construe:ion of Ships and Duck
yards, nd the erection of Forts an I Batteries, hut
to be in any degree eff ctual, must embrace the
means of procuring, from our own resou ces, and
withm our a.en borders, a speedy unfail rig sups

On the general impedance of fostering the ri. ;

nothing from abroad that could be produced at
home, and however the political theorists of the
day may dilate upon the Utopian advantages of i
tree trade, nu European government has ever'
acted upon ihis principle, nor ever will. It is true
that as co:nmerce changes her course, a trade
which was for nerly prohibited may in sonic de
gree be thrown open, arid as the progress of lab ir
saving inachi:iery may enable the Briti.h artisan
to compete with the hand labor of other nations,

be reduced, but still, through every variation of :
policy, or change of administration, ADEQUATE

the leading principle of the legislation of all civil
ize.d governments, and if the United States were
to desert this p dicy, it would be to surrender the
g re a t interests of the nelson helpless and unpro
tected to the mrcy of EuropeaMcapital and labor.
The Co nmittee comdder the proposition of in
tanational Tariffs equal'y exceptionabla on the
nvre ground of Revenue, as by (heir adoption the
control over the national finaneci would be to a
great extent 10,4” d with foreign powers whose
i:dercsts must in all cases ha widely diti,rent
from oar own, and may st.m.-times be directly ad.
verse. The frequer t alternations of commerce,
even a deficient harvesi,--the dise.,very of some
new raw material—or the further application of
machinery, may entirely derange the relations
existing between ourselves arid other nations, and
thzreby tender a dissolution or modification of
such a reciprocal treaty a necessary measure of
preservation.
Although your Committee believe the propos
sod arrangemmt would conflict with that provis
ion of ilia Constitution which confers upon the
House of Representatives the exclusive power to
originate Revenue Bills, they do not consider
themselves qualified lo express a derided opinion
involving more acquaintance with constitutional
law than they possess.
As the period for the dissolution of Congress is
so near as to prevent the decision of this question
at the present session, your committee do not
think it necessary to make any appeal to that
body, but would recommend the adoption of the

Canal Transpol tation.
As the business seasoa on our public
works will soon commence, we think it
well to remind flour Merchants and wes
tern shippers that by the late reduction of
tolls made by the board of Canal Commis
sioners, that the State now teceives but 27
cents and 8 mills toll on a barrel of flour
from Pittsburgh to Philadelphia. This re
duction will enable the transporters to carti
iy it for 87 : i cts. per barrel, and at the
sam time have more than a libiTal
compensation for their investment/ and la
boor. Under this arrangement it is fair for
us to look with confidence for the greater
portion, if not the entire flour trade of he
/vest, to seek an eastern mArket thro' the
channel of our public works.
As was shown by a statement published
in our paper some time since, the tolls on
every article of merchandize have been suf
freently r..duced to give the Pennsylvania
improvements the preference over every
other route of transportation. On the ar—
ticle of Coffee, a reduction of nearly one
half has been madr; the toll at the present
reduced rates being but 23 cents 7 mills
per 100 punt's, on the main line of the
improvements. The charge for transport
ing this article should not exceed 50 cts.
per 100 lbs. from either Baltimore or Phil
adelphia to Pittsburgh. As Coffee is an
article of immense tonnage to the west, and
the National Transportation Line propo
ses to carry from Baltimore or Phi!adel
phia to Wheeling via the Southern route
for 70 cts. pet 100 lbs , the board of Canal
Commissioners, with commendable zeal
fur the interests of our public works, has
reduced the tolls so as to enable the Penn
sylvania Transporters , to deliver it at
Wheeling at GO cis. per 100 lbs. This
fart shows to shippers the decided advan•
Cage to be gained in. p itronizing the Penn
sylvania improvements, and the certainty
that no other route can convey goods with
the same despatch, wil', we think, convince
all, that On it interests in every p int of
view,wi:l be served by employing our route .
The National road transportation is but
little better than what gamblers would
call a system of "bluffing off." If the
statements of then agents are true, they
cannot carry goods and save themselves at
the prices for which they ate now offering,•
but they expect to divert the trade from
the Pennsylvania route, and then they can
arrange the prices to suit themselves.
We think Our brethren of the press in
the west, would sr the the public interest
in their several neighborhoods by noticing
this matter, and giving publeity to the
facts above stated.
