In reference to communications which may ap
liter it this paper, we have one or two remarks to
make. We will insert none without the name of
the
_author tieing first made known to us, and
when inserted, must always Le taken as expres
, sive of the views of the !Triter, and not the editor
of this paper, unless the views so expressed are ed
itorially remarked upon and approved.
The Farmers and the Tariff.
The whig press of 'the country generally, have
hitherto ridiculed the idea, that the repeal of the
British corn laws would materially benefit the A
inerican farmer. What will the whips now say?
Conclusive evidence of the fact is before the coon.
DT; American agricultural products have advanced
in price, as is well known, in consequence of the
Foreign demand This Foreign demand could not
have advantaged the American farmer, if the
'enormous
laws were still in force, because with such
'enormous dnties American products would not
"bear shipment. Mr. Wails-ran, it will lk re
'collected, by many, delivered a great speech, in
l - Fauieul Hall, Bostori, on the aith May, 18113, in
which he referred to the Tariff Of 181'2. then in
full 'operation, and also to our commercial Lela
itions. Mr. W.then foresaw, what is now so obvi:
'pus, that the West, as the grain grovving region.
iwoulddemand amose liberal policy to open to
He
. sources the markets of Great Britain. e then
;proposed to effect it by reciprocal commercial
.eaties, and mentioned "the adMicision into Enf,-. 1 1

of our large agricultural ptuita o, as an arrange-,
iaeiat favorable to our great must
ultural interests
n
ibutannangernent which must of course be found:
61, on adequate consideration." dud be added that
i t 'undoubtedly the only inducement we could .hold out;
o England, would be a modificat 'ea of the Tariff."
. *I do know,"said he, "that by naking tho Tariff
table and firm, we shall ranee it healthful and
udicious. lf, by any great ore atioii that should

..iii
knuntty, we can place the pro action of Ameri

In connection with the abovext . e , ask the readers
attention to the following which , we clip from the
. f'hiladelphia Pennsylvanian of the 9th Sept:
~i'DifIGIIT PROSPECTS FOR 'illE FARMER,
We learn that the fine packet ship Wyo
ming, now nearly ready to sail for Liverpool, will
lake the-following cargo: One hundred square bales
.of cotton; one hundred and eleven hhds.; of bark
! ! illy tierces of beef; sixteen thousand bushels of
ajbeal and corn, or as much as she can take, in
orneril. We learn, further, that the Kalamazoo,
4.hich m was put up yesterday for the same port, has
already nearly a full cargo 'engaged for her out.
•Waid trip, mostly grain, :Of Which she will take
.about tuents, thousand Lxalule. Au intelligent
merchant informs us that there is still enough
fkeight remaining, chiefly floor, grain and beef, to
fill one or two of the largest class of Liverpool
packets.
• The Boston Transcript (Whig) of Friday says:
Axaniciff exponTs.—The packet ship Anglo
Saxon which cleared to-day for Liverpool, has a
cargo comprising 4,325 barrels of flour, 500 bar
els of rosin, 233 bales of cotton, 280 casks of
ktillow,hesideshutter, lard, leather, sperm oil, man
!ttanesse, clocks, rocking ,chairs, and shoe pegs.-- - -
The trade between this part and England is rapid
-ly increasing.
The Baltimore Inicrican (Whig) of yesterday
morning, taking good care, however, not to attri.
butte the demand for produce to the new commer
sial policy of England, says:
BuSAIISTUFTS MAREST.—The last steamer from
'England, it will be seen by the paragraphs under
the commercial head, brought out orders for the
purchase of Flour, Wheat, and Indian Corn and
Aleal—based on the alleged shortness of the pota
toe crop and the eflects of unfavorable harvesting
Ueather in England. Prices have advanced in the
New York market, and are likely to b&correspon
-dingly affected here.
Celt will be;soen by the report of yesterday's
market. that since the receipts of the neWs some
ten thousand barrels ff Flour have been sold here.
The effects of this intelligeace, he're as else
svheit, is most trati lying, and prices will-of , course
go op. , The Whig press, with all their argutnents,
zoing to show' that the farmer would not be Lena.
fitted by thy 'recant change in the protective sys
;teals of this country and England, will find how,
'Soon their flimsy theories will give way before
practical and stubborn truth.. The hardy tiller of
the soil, , and the teas of thousands who i prosper as.
be prospers, will hail the opening prcispect with . '
Sincere and hearty joy.

that the report.that C.01..M.:C-Axor.r.sa when lat .

been industriously reported, he j WA nswo itTn) ties
the very man with whom he would most freTly

Important to Wool Growers.
Diu nig the late discussion of the tariff says t x'',
Washington correspondent of the New lock Ls - n
in g Post, -a delegation, represented by Mr Simpsi n'
of Boston, whose name appears in the carrel
deuce with Mr. Webster on the 6 übject, appea .1
in Washington. to prevent the reareal or alteradra
of the act of IS 12. 31r. Simpson signs his na ie
in the correspondence as a representative of lle
l
i
wool, woolen, and carpet interest. One, of ".
main objects of his mission was to prercal 1112 IC
rrcosi . stf duty on low priced renal. He was .scent it .
ed in this by others dealing in woolens. The pn p
osition was submitted to Mr. Webster as a co m
pi omise, with a view of being presented to t e
Senate, puts woolens from forty per cent. down o
thirty, Int it proposed to !core trod al awfcrmerr tic
of fire per cent . 1 Mr. Simpson thought and su d'
that thirty per zent. was enough for woolens, l a iiu•
sided wool could come in as heretofore_ lie 1.1
eat, however, that all the wool. amounting to abo 1
24 millions of pounds, imported annually, w s l
made up into carpets and blankets, &at, mrfurt s I
;lately another rminufadurer of ilos imported li
! rontrodtrted .111.. Simpson ty othisitteng that he us d
it, cud to his knowledge to did others, ivy the nt,itzu.-
facture of other kinds of cloth."
Hereafter, however, it is to be hoped that no car
plaintswill come from manufacturers of wool, s
they have exactly the rate of protection that th y
ashed for, viz: thirty per cent. This admission is
made by their representative. signed . am! print I
by him, and sanctioned by Mr. Webster. :Amu il
t hey complain heteafler that this rate is not enotig e
because the duty on wool is raised, then let the
also admit that they have been for years, (and th a
is the truth.) guilty clan infamous fraud on wo I
growers, by importing immense quantities of wo I
almost duty free, while they have been crying oat
for a high tariff, and denying That they have tiscl
this in the manufacture ofcloth..
The whole production of the .gip of wool in the
United Stales, according td the census of 1841), was.
;13,000,001- lbs. The clip l ot lust year was, accor
ding to such returns as hat's , been made from vari
ous states, and estimated in the others, 44,000,000
pounds. importation, as has already been stated,
24,0(10,000 pounds.
Whenever the farmerhasramplaineil to the wool
en manufacturer, that he finds this foreign wool in:
terfering with his own stock, he has been told it
was only a course kind of the article, and one that
did not compete with the American wool. In the
meantime the producer of wool has been called up
on to shout , illuzza fdr the Tariff of 184111" and
has been lulled into se'eurity by the false statements
that he was proteeteill by that law.
The New York Tribune has been foremost hith
erto in this cry agair4t the duty on wool, on the
ground that it was coarse quality that was at a
value less than sever cents. It is well known;
however, that much cf the wool entered at this
price is made up in ' tc line cloth. The mode by
which it escapes high duty is, by mixing it with
dirt and coarse wool, thus diminishing it in value.
But this will hardly escape the vigilance of the
custom-house hereaft

FREE IMAWNItY IN THE BRITISH ARMY
The Montreal Courier, noticing the recent or.
Bering of the 46th regiment of the Bri ishrarmy to
that city says:
"There has been for upwards of a century a
Freemason's lodge in the 4Gtin in this Lodge, Geo.
Washington was Made a mason during the time the
regiment Was stationed in the colonies before the
outbreak of the revolutionary war. The register
of this Lodge contains Washington's signature in
his own hand writing, and still possesses the Bible
on which the great man took his oath of initiation.
The chest containing the books and regalia of the
Lodge was captured by the Americans during the
war and taken to 'Washington, but when it was
discovered what it contained, it was immediately
sent back. It nnderwent a similar fate some years
after, being taken 'by the French at St. Lucia. It
was then carried to Paris, and its contents being
examined was immediately returned to the regi
ment by the French authorities. We believe a de
tail of these facts,, with the dates and full particu.
tare, is to be found in Freemason's Magazine of a
few years back."

The Workr-4 g'rniperance Convention.—We see by
the London papers that the World's Temperance
Convention was in full operation. They . do not go
into these matters abroad with the same zeal that
is displayed this side rf the Atlantic. There were
but 258 delegates present, including, in addition to
those from English, Irish and Scotch towns, repre
sentatives from the United States of America, the
East Indies, and France.. The object of the-conven
tion is to ascertain the state of the temperance
cause in all parts of the globe, to receive sugges
tions as to the most effectual method of extending,
the tempertince reformation, - and to effect the for
mation 'of a' Temperance Union throughout the,
world.
