Approved 21st March, 1828. We cannot but hope that the follow, ing article frcm the "Notional Advocate," (a daily paper published in the city of New York) will meet with a candid reading among our fellow-citizens of the West; as it not only goes to cor,6rm the testimony of thte v itnesses recently had before the Commrttee on Manufactures, as it respects the domestic woollen traf'e, but to support the statement of the friends and advocates cf that interest both io and out of Congress, that Brit ish monopolists have not only hid the heavy hand of insupportable oppression upon that branch of American industry and enterprize, in our own markets, b-it have wrested from the commercial part

of the community, that valuable portion of foreign commerce, in amount to, from) 8 to 10 millions of dollars, aanually. JVe do not blame the British for fa. king advantage of the imperfection and weakness of our commercial and rnanu facturing regulations, for the purpose of advancing their ownjnteiests; we cannot, however, aVoid execrating the course of those, both in and out ofCon gress, but especially the former, who have opposed, and still continue to oppose, the only measures by which their ruinous inroads upon the rights of Ame. ican citizens, can be arrested.

The real and professed object ot the society is to de vise and rarry forward efficient meant lor the protection of the industry of the country; and much as the industry cf manufactures needs protection at this crisis, the labours and enterprize of Amertcan merchants require not less thafc a bold hand should' be laid on that sys tem of things wnicO has broueht us ail at the feet of England and of English a eents. Our merchants are ready to co. uremic ttiwi uiuri tinsocs ill luis VJULIciy for the redreus of these wrong?, and we trnst the measures in progress and which will soon be presented to the consideration the community and Goverrrrei f will eventually and not remotely pre duce a change, which will restore to merchants tb ' rights and to manufac turers that degree of support which will enable them to compete with their English rirfils. While the latter ere suffering for the wad of that protection against British pclicyand capital which it is the duty cf the government and tha interest of the nation to give, the former are driven from the richest sources of rade, by the force of English cariKl and the pernicious facilities afforded ta E' g'ish traders by sales at auction. While the Anrerican merchant an! mechanic is called upon for the support of the city, state and general governments; is in duly and by his feelings and the laws bound to hold himself ready for the drfpr.ce of his country, contributing continua'h of his substance to maintain the character and glory thereof in one way or another, (he English merchant amo g us sits at his ease, taxed neither in p- rson or property, and safe from these thousand calls uoou his time and hi money, which fall to the "ortion of the native citiz 'Os.

The 8 r 10 mil lions of cloths brought here from Ei g. land come through English Agents; they are sold by five or six auctioneers, and iftbe American merchant would engage at all in the trade, he must submit to go to the auction room and do the best he can.
