II? arrived here, we believe, on or atf.nt the 3ih inst. and hid himself (as may say") at a private house, where he kept cloistered, so that it wa3 impossible for those who had payments to make on their lots, to ascertain his Jodgings; in cmsccpuence of such conduct, the people have buffered great convenience and not a lit tic expense. A sick mar, of this town, sent his clauhtei to pay an instalment on his . iot h young woman enquired at rvcxy public house in the place for the Agent, but being unsuccessful in her enquiries, returned home and on the luxt day the secret retreat of this (foreign.) man of the jwfA, was found out, and the money presented by her to the Agent, who demanded, cod rrceived an additional sum of sevtnty f.-ue rer;, bscvjse he could not be found until ; few hours after it UgLt to have been naiU !!!

We ask, will the legislature say that the purchasers of lots shall pay interest on their instalments, when there is not now U never has been a legal Agent to whom payments could be made?

Indianafiolis Gaz. . From the Indiana Farmer Aov. I. We find the 'tax on Whiskey t mentioned iu our paper a few weeks since, is now spoken of in favorable terms, by a great many editors, from which wc may conclude, that the doctrine is becoming popular. We have been cf the opinion for several years, that a tax of this kind would be beneficial, both as a means of raising a revenue, and as . a check upon dissipation; but believed that general sentiment was so strong against it, that it would be in v?.in to advocate it; yet we hava spoken of the subject m private, 2c when the projected tariff bill was under discussion, we have mentioned it as a means to raiso a revenue, and a well calculated to stipetcede the ccc2ssity of direct taxation. 15 laying a tax on spirituous liquors, money is raised for the support oi government, in us vcl untary a manner as it ucvv is, on forci! gbbds the consumer, in either case, must pay it. Ithasuhvuys h?en a plea with the f( tends ol the prts-.nt tan IV, or aa they call themselves, 'friends ofjree trade, tuat should the United Stales lay such duties on imported goods, as to operate a a check upon foreign trade, government must resort to direct uxtiou i:' order to defray its expenses. Tiiia wai the nv:it substantial plea offertl against increasing the duties on foreign goods. Hut we have always Said, la; heavy duties, check lot eign trade, and the people will manufacture for thcmfc.et? instead of avndiiig cotton to Europe at 15 cents pet p;un-J, and nuyi.g the same againmanufactured, at 5 and 0 dollars, they wil luanufacittrc ft themselves; millions A money will he kept at home to circu-ate iron the manufacturer t3 the farmrr., aid -from thero through vety brnrch of business, to relieve cur own wa;vs and give life to h me industry The lttrmcr will manufacture rr.' rr.t fnnl n more sure and better ntarket for his produce, and mechanics will participate in his prosperity. Gaverun.ctu can bs supported; and good iLiics aain cheer ihs drooping spirit of ihe industrious. Many means can be resorted to in order to raisr a revimi? And a 19 simply on r,piritu:jus l-rpj-irs, cay, a hundred per cent on ail dutiieii and twu hundtei on all foreign, would raise a enormous sum, G or i millions, thicli added to the revenue Irom the duties on such importations as the proposed tariff would not operate upon, and the motiies from other sources, would raise a revenue 3utlicient to defrfi all the expenses of government, and in time discharge the debt hanging over it. To cry out 'free trade, lor the purpose of raising a revenue, while al( tne European ports ere shut against ojr produce, while we have to pay to foreigners a hundred dollars in order to enrich the treasury 7 or 8, is, in our opinion, to oppose the best interest of the country. We may drink whiskey and wear foreign goods because t'tey arc cheap, until our means to purchase will deprive us of both, however low they may be offered. The balance of trade is against us -The Umted States import, annually in fireign goods, about twenty millions of dollars more than they exported of domestic, thereby draining the country of 20 millions of dollars, a year, to make up the deficiency. And all this, for the tufifiort cf govei-nmentV under the cry of 'free tradeV Every dollar the merchant receives, instead of being laid out atone of our manufactories, is sent to Europe or the East Indies, fur rotton broad cloths, worthless muslins and ether impositions, while our produce rots on our hands, and thousands are impoverished for the want of employment. Other people manufacture for us, perforin a great portion of our labor, while we are titter idle, or hoc corn and dig

potatoes, for wbieh tre have no market either at home or abroad, in consequence of the ruinous policy of bur government . Let Congrcts tatt up the tubject; and view it in its prefer light, call to mind the interest of the common people, leave off long speech making for popularity; and let the people make their own President, while they perform the functions, of their oGice, in attending to the true interest of the nation. We have all the, means to become a manufacturing people, as well as an agricultural; can rapport government without the aid of a ruin-.

ous foreign trade; and can be in the fullest sense of the word an independent nation, reaping the benefit cf our own labour but so long as things remain as they are, our country Is impoverished for the want of a stimulous in the productive class of people the funds of government will be inadequate; the poor will resort to the bottle tp chase away, the foreboding aspect of the Jut wo? -and that energy, necessary for the prosperity of a people, will sink into a degrading apathy, anworthy of a Republican government. The people, the labouring and, productive class of citizens, should be heard in Congress; and their interest' should be first under consideration, in, the formation of laws lor the regulation of commerce acd the raising a revenue. Let merchants St importers petition as they will for small duties left them adorn pages with sophistry against the: interest of the 'manufacturer and the fanner, Congress should have 4n impartial view of the nation, and in the language t f the constitution, provide for the general welfare" ;v; Missouri -rT-he prospects of this fine state are evidently brightening. Its citizens arc turning their attention to the true - wealth of the country Agriculture and Commerce Speculations are nt an end. Nobody goes in debt. To live upon the productions of their own farms,' and raise something for export, is the aim of every considerate rtfi; cling man. Considerable exnortations have taken place this fall. Emigration is beginning to revive. The exaggerated stories about the aicDess of Missouri, have v?orn themseles out by dint of repetition. It is the healthiest new country that ever was tcttled, and has flC? more healthy this summer than anijjjatc in the IVest. The present is the most favorable liuic for emigration to the s'.ate which has yet occurred, revisions are abundant and cheap, and real estate is cheaper than ever '.va'i known. Never Was a better time for emigrants 'to establish themselves in ihe country. The extreme pressure for money must become lesa and less from this time forth. Tho exports cf tl.b year will balance a Ijige proportioii-oi tito imports. The quantity of Lead raised in the county ol Washington alone is immense. More (ban a thousand hand: have been at wo;k there all the summer. The government expenditures are considerable. The transfer of the Indian Department from Washington City to St. Louis, w ill occasion the annual expenditure of some thousand dollars in our state, about three hundred thousand dollars are expended on the military establishments above; the Surveyor General's Department likewise disburses a large sum. These with tho resources of the state, with the industry and economy of the citizens, and with a strict observance of Franklin's maxim, ":?d one penny less than your dear gains' will change the face of the country in the short space of two or three summers.

At a time when the whole resources of the nation become necessary to pay the expenses incurred in a just was, it behooves us to endeavor to manufacture all the articles for home consumption, the raw materials of which are produced m our own country. It is a melancholy fact, that as long as we continue to import from foreign countries articles for our comfort and convenience that we could manufacture in our owns so long we shall be warring with our bast interests draining our country of its fireeiout metals tncouragiog idleness- producing pauperises and indirectly becoming

accessary to crimes. However Larch or inapplicable these terms may appear when applied to us as a nation, they are nevwrinics true when. abstractly considered Although the cstent of our uncultivated forest b great, and on its wide expanse millions are yet to rise into existence; there' are, and always will be, thousands in a dense population, who have not the means nor enterprise to leava their friends and connexions and seek; ah honest living (far from home J on our western lands; consequently from the want of employment they become idle idleness begets poverty, and poverty begets crimes. . On the contrary, it Manufactures were established under the patronage of government, capitalists would invest their stock in them, employment would be given tc the necessitous pauperism and crimes would decrease in proportion to the encouragement offered, the Farmers and Planters would exchange their raw materials for articles manufactured, and MosTftT in a greater or less degree) would become the companion of us all. North, South, East, and West, could equally participate, and make mutual exchanges for their own consumption; and the surplus products of our soil would find cash or its equivalent in a foreign Market. J. have already digressed too far; for when I took up my pen, I only intended to have called the attention of the citizens of this City and its vicinity, to some domestic flnnLS C manufactured by the Harmonic Society, Ixdi' ana J at the store of Mr. Samuel Pat terson, Main Street, a few doors &- bove the Upper Market; who, I am informed is their only agent in this eity. 1 think them superior to any imported Jlannels that 1 have ever seen in this market. They are offered very low, and are well worthy the attention ol consumers, in a pecuniary point of viewf asidefrom every other consideration, and independently of their origin.
