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.
As early as It!!)!), the I'.. .'i.-ii IJm-. nt Cum
iuoik declared ' that the indict; A h"-'hi-Uiiiosin
her -colonies, of Amcr.ia li-u.i,;.i toUs
m n thtir i!i jion:hncc upon Great UntHiu."
'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 first woollen manufactory in the L nited
Slater was e.tahli: lied in 17!K), about seven
years alter the clc of the Iievulutiouury Avar.

wars in hitrepe, beginning with the I iciic 1
1 ' 0
revolution and a. ......t.g through a ,ong pe-
nod, gavetuch advantages to our pi epic by
throwing U vast cull) lliglrudc into tl.i 11 hands,
and creating a foreign deinuud fur agricultural
prudiKlions, lhu the inducements to embark
largely in niaiitrlacturing enterprises were not
tn Urong as they would have buen tinder other
ircumttaiices.
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. J:trt:uso.N
once said he couid tiliin-vbt wi.sh that an ocean
of fire rolled between tia and I-uropo, With

several gentlemen interlered in behalf of the

try Hfk, is thut the leveuue from imports should be
solt'u-ieiit to supfiort the administration of the d'o

ib bt. In raising this revenue, however, they de
sire "a just discrimination in lavor of the great in
terests of the country iu agriculture, its 'manufac

Some (ilthc advocates of a l.i''h protective

Jamci Hepliurn, Esq., Presidant of these compa

in which he stales thnt deeds of trust have been exe
cuted by the companies, to s cure an equitable ap
portionment of the net revenu. s of (he canal among

lo the estate of Maryland, and lo those individuals
who h id rtti-'ed money at periods when it was in
dispensable to the progress and security of the woik,
and without any other connide'nlion than its ad
vancement, anJ llie benefit of the genciul creditors
and stockholder.
The Deeds of Trust contain further prn'viaions
authorizing the creditors of the company to ex
change and convert the evidences of debt which
they now hold against the company into bonds
payable Jan 1, Its 17, to include the interest duo at
the time of c nvcr-ion, and requiring the convcr-
s on to lie niade within one vcar f,otn the dale of

icvenue fhill be paid to the general creditors in pro
portion 10 iho amount of their respective claims,
including the claims wh-ch shall be converted into
bonds as above described. It further reserves to the
company the right to fund the debts due by them,
01 to raise by way of mortage or otherwise, a per-maii-
nt loan for lie ir payment.
The Itepo'rt further states:
"The Companies arc without present fund?,
anil their only resource is, of course, in the
tolls -ol (he Canal : and in the credit to w hich

be fully adequate to piy tlrtj -annual interest to
the Slate, the annual interest ofl tire other debts,
and all U10 expenses connected with the man
agement of the Canal, the debts would be dee
med by all tube abundantly secure; and nl
tltough the actual payment f those debts may
thereby be deferred, any arrangement must be
deemed desirable, winch will prtiduce these re
sults. The President and 1 brer tors fully be

The Committe of Investigation made their re.
port to meeting of the stockholders on the 23J
mat., from which it appears that
'The nominal capital of the oank is
one hundred thousand shares, at

It holds of ita owu stock, at par, 31,-
172 shares. 1,708,1100 00

When the hank closed ou the 27ih
of January lust, ita assets, delu
sive of its on stock were, 4,700,000 00
Its liabilj.ies, exclusive of those to its
stockholders, appear to have been 1,432 092 00
3,266,308 00
So rhat, if all the assets were available at tho
price they cost ihe bink, ihey would still be insuf
fici. nt to meet its liabilities to the public, and return
to the stockholder tho pai Value of their stock.
llnl as it is certain that, even under the most
skilful an I judicious nnnHgerneiit, an immense loss
must he sust iiticd in realizing fioin such a masi of
depreciated assets as those held by Ihe bank, rather
than attempt to estimate its magnitude, it is deemed
expedient .o submit lo ihe stockholders a con
densed statement of the prominent items upon
w hich it must aree, to the end that they may judge
for thcm-elve of tin' probable Value of the securi
tii s upon w hich they must rely Tor the pay meet of
the remaining liiiliililics of the bank.
