American people. ; And now that the land is filled with nnl;n.

earth; and as individuals, and as a nation in the full enjoyment of an extraordinary
of prosperity, the voice of alarm is heard from
the halls of national legislation, from whence
encouragement and cheering hope ought to flow; now that "wigs" are worn, not for personal convenience not to cover personal defects:
out iu conceal personal frformify,such celebrations are the more especially called for, by every consideration of country, and admiration of such distinguished iWiWAm.

A writer in Poulson's Daily Advertiser,snys that a Brussels carpet, costing two thousand
dollars, and oil cloth carpet costing the same sum tog-ether $4,000, have been imported
from England to cover certain of the floors of
the Presidents house at Washington!
The author of this proceeding deserves to
be severely censured-for as good and as cheap if not better and cheaper carpets, of either
kmp, might have been obtained of American
manufacture.
The writer, indeed, says "This contempt
for our home . industry, nnd abandonment of
those who are engaged in it, would be the less reprehensible if the suitable kinds of carpeting could hot be got at home, or even if there
was any great disparity in the price. But it
has turned out that on a campnrison of the
Brussels carpet, on beinglanded at New-York
where it arrived, the American carpet was de
