MR. TEST'S ADDRESS To the People of the Third Congressional District in Indiana. The Eighteenth Congress has closed T he labours of last session, in relation to the Tariff, have been crowned with success. The industry of the country has been benefited without impairing the revenue. I am inclined to believe, the additional duties have operated, not so much to throw a profit in the hand of the Manufacturer, as to inspire him with a confidence that his interests were not to be neglected by the nation. The two principal evils dreaded by the opposers of the bill have not occurred, that is,

the enhancement 01 uie price ui uuU!, auu a deficiency in the revenue. The necessaries of life were perhaps never cheaper, or the finances of the country in a more prosperous condition. The five million loan, authorized by an act of the last session, has been obtained at four and an half per cent. A large amount of the six per cent, stock, has likewise been redeemed by loans at an interest of four and an half per cent. The National Debt, at this time, may be computed at not more than ninety millions; while the resources of the country appear adequate to every exigency. The spirit of the r.ation seems roused in regard to internal improvements. Concurrent acts of the Congress of the United States, of Virginia, Malnd. rmd fas I am informed) Penr sylva-

nia, authorized the construction of a Canal k-.irh thp mountains, to connect the wa-

ters of the Ohio with those of the Chesa

peake bay, and create a corporation to car i-v th measure into effect; little doubt is en

tertained of the success of the enterprize. A hill delineating a general system of inter

nal improvement has been laid before the TTmmp. and will no doubt meet the early at

tention of Coneress at their next session.

For an elucidation of the principles of the

bill, I would refer you to the very able re nnrf nf the Committee on Roads and Canals

o Hnrnmpnt worthy the attenion of every

American citizen. Two hundred thousand dollars have been appfopiuted by Congress toward the completion of the Delaware and Chesapeake Canal. One hundred and fifty thousand doliars have likewise been appropriated to the extension of the Cumberland

time, it is presumed, will be given. Greece is victorious; the cross rises triumphant over the crescent; she may indulge every hope of success against her infidel masters, while she has nothing to fear, but from her christian brethren. Our sister rej ublics in the South, have driven their enemies from the confines of the country. Heaven has directed their exertions to the happiest results. The flag of despotism scarcely waves on their soil. Europe seems disposed to second our views in relation to the abolition of the Slave Trade, by denouncing it as piracy. Treaties have been negotiated with various pow

ers, under the sanction of the executive, admitting a limited right of search, but which

treaties, so tar as they involve mat and some

nthpr narhr.nlnr nrinciDles. have been re

jected by the Senate of the United States.

It is, however, only by the admission ot a reciprocal modified right of search, that we

can ever expect to eradicate that black and infamous traffic in human blood, for such is

the cupidity of man, that while a single nag is licensed to cover it, it will never cease. I:

is therefore for the nations of the earth to

decide the hard question, whether they will

adont fb.it odious nrincinle. or suffer the

j,. , ' .

baneful evil to continue. Uur reiatioi s wuh
