We alluded, some days ago to the policy a- -doptixl ami rigidly prosecuted liy tireat Hritain towards this country while it was in a state of colonial dependence upon licr. The chief ob jrrl of England then, as now, was to preserve her foreign possessions as markets (of her man iriiici tires ; and for this end a'i ut'oinpt alhniiiu umi.ulacturts in her colonics were ;t.v:iiiaed and Mispressed.

'J'he woollen manufacture was at tliat pxriod the most inifHrtatit of all the branches of manu facturing industry, the 'use -of cotton being comparatively limited. In 17111, a law 'as passed by parliament, "thut no wool, yum, or woollen inunutauturesof their American planta tions should be bhipped there, or even laded, in order to bo 1ransiurted from theuee to any place whatever." In T.i, a report appeand from 'the Tendon Hoard of Trade, in compliance with a legislative rcipiisitien, in which -the following pnsMij.e oc curred: "In New Ijiglund, New Vork, -Connecticut, Rhode Island, 'Pennsylvania nd Ma rylnd, they h'tvc fullcn into the virtitfurfurr of wmillni. It is to be w ir-hed, that some ck jiedieut may be fallen upon, to direct thoughts from undertakings -of tliis nature; eo tntlch the iiiore, liccause thene manufactures 'in process of tone, mny be carried on in .Teater dt'roe, un less on rarhjslop f,r jul to thtir jtrog rrss." In I7:!l coiiipliiiulij were made to 7.arJiamcnt by the hatter ol J-ondou that tome of the A-iiierii-an rohmi.-ts were engaired in the manu facture of wool Art. An uct of parliament tcdldwed not long afterwards "to prevent the i-.tportutiiiii of hats out of any ot his majesty's iiilutiics or plantations in Amerca, nnd to re strain the number ol apprentices t.i!;on by the Jiat-iuakers, in the said colnves or.n'.antations, iuhI for tiie better encmtrugitig the making of hats in (ireat Britain!" lly this act nut only v. as the exporti linn of hats from the colonics "lo a lbrei;'n.H)rtprohihited, but their transpor tittiou ab.o from om; Hritish-colony to another ; they could not "be laden upmi any horfe, curt is oilier tarriHge, to llic intent or purxe to-be exported, tronsntirtod, BKiiHsed-olV, Ac, and no purron was ullitwed to make liats unlers he-had eerved nn iippreiiticeship ol'beven years, nor could he have more than two apprentices ut r.rtv-une t'me." Similar nfls 'of -restriction were pas?f-d to discourage oilier kinds of manufacture. l.ord f 'iiatii.vii di elared in I'urliuinent that the Brit ish eoloni.-ts in North America ought not to he allowed to uiiiuutiicture ettn a nail foru knrse ttioe.

The wnr of Hl'l between the United State and (treat liritain coiniellcda resort lo domes tic iniiuunietureM in this country. Many estab lishments rose j but the duration of the war was too brief to allow them to become firmly fixed. l:Hn the return of pence, the large importations (fl!, itisli goods that immediately took place proved ruinous to iiiot,t of our manufacturing establishments. The tarilfof 110 was intended to give per manency to our policy on this important subject. The necessity of givinij security and Kteadiness to domestic industry was deeply lelt.as a meas ure indispensable to the national independence. The designs oftiruit liritain to prostrate A nvorican manufactures have been cherished since the Revolution us decidedly as before thut event although the inedes of carrying them out have been and continue to be different. It wut utlirmed by n Hiiiish statesman w ithin the present century that the United Slates were more valuable to (irent Rritain than they would have foen if they had remained colonies. The reason was that we were no t j.ieise to lnglaiid, ns most of her eulnnivs are. while the rapid grow th of cirtntry under it republican go vernment had enlarged it capacity as mar ket for Rritish ninnulax.-tures, beyond anything that could have been expected, if the 'colonial system had continued. It is a matter of regret that there sIimM be H)litical men in the country willing and anxieus to bring us back again into something like a'co- lonial dependence iihhi England. The policy of low duties oil fort ign niauufactures will do ! it, if it istdoptedj the Rritish manufacturers tic- j sire nothifig better. They will not hesitate to J ship at a loss, if by such means they can hope ! tr break down our domcMiec.-tahlishuients; for i such has been tlreir course repeutetHy. j Btit the time has now come when a firm ami ! decided stand is tobc taken in behalfofour own industry and native resources, Mv.

They were answered, that if "white men" would pay hftcen dollars to the mother of the deceased, he might go, otlre-Tvr;; he lucst die. This -nondilion not being -chjiii-plied with, he was doomed.
