To the People of the western country, and particularly Indiana. I promised in my last to analyze the statistical table given in that number. It will be seen that in 1793, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and Tennessee, although the) conMined a million fewer inhabitants, black and w hite, than the grain growing slates, that is to say about 750,000 while persou?, exported nearly 7,600,000 dollars worth of their produce, while the grain growing states, with a much latger pro-
remain unprotected? A peep into their statutes of import duties, will decide that matter. Let us, for example, look at the duties on woollens, about which our southern hrethern made such a heavy complaint last winter; woollens generally pay here a duty of thirty-three per cent, advalorum; while in England, where they carry on the business to so much perfection, they are fifty per cent; cottons, stamped or stained, are 75 per cent, in England, and onlv twent-five percent, here, except as it may he varied in some measure by the established minimum ; Iron, in bars, pa) s in England a duty of 28 per ton weight, while it is but $18 here; corn, wheat, See. are entirely prohibited at this time, and indeed
I say nothing of Indigo at 15 cents per for the patxami . pound. THE MEClM.YJCS.lSo. IT. Eight millions five hundred and fifty The merrlunt introducing those artithousand dollars are taxed upon the of ait:mt manufacture, purchased

ly given to the exports, ana uie one
have added is merely conjectural, I shall
omit it as to this year, and take the remaining periods, when ihe values are officially reported. For example, in 1803 the southern population amounted to 1,992,933, I calculate the whiles at twothirds of that number, which will be found nearly correct as to those states; the other states contained 3.313,050, in the whole, and in this district I calculate the whites at nine-tenths, from which the following results appear: In 1803, 1,328,658 white persons, in the South, exported $'16,584,000, equal to 12 50 per man. In the same time, 3,981,747 white per sons, in the grain growing district, exposed .$15,760,000, equal to $5 23 per man. In 1809, '10, '11, 1,711,637, Poutbern
person., exported $57,364,000, equal
to .S 10 per m iii per year
In the same time, 4.05,204 Eastern and
Western persons exported $39,631,000, equal to $3 13 per man per year. In 1821, '22, '23, 1,991,115 southern
whites exported $87,670,298, equal to
$14 661-3 per ma a per ear
In ibo'sam time, 5,888,735 Eastern and
Western whites exported $29,76o', 526, equal to $1 66 1-3 per man per .year. 1 have, in the above calculation, taken only the white population; the object was to discover the surplus of labor for each individual, exported from the U'-ited S'ates, and it can no more be said that a slave accumulates surplus property than a horse, for they are considered as property in every case, except in makin out the apportionment of representation. I have likewise left out the product of the fisheries and the forests, as the (list are open to be worked by all the citizous and not confined to any district of country, and may have been enumerated in the diif rent states vv here they belong, and if the latter were added, it would not vary the calculation, I pre
sume, one per cent., indeed both added will not vary it eight The foregoing table gives an awful practical illustra-tion-of our commercial operation", so far as" the 'East and West are concerned in them. Let u, while on this part of the subject, take another view of it. The southern population, or the district whirh
about $7 55 on every yard, of every des
criptioo of cloth, and by this means were their manufactures brought tothe perfection, which they have attained. They may now do away all duties, and they could scarcely find a riv al, for there is no man but knows, and it is every day s observation, that the permanent establishment of any business, enables il to bear down all opposition. Our Southern brethren say we should follow something else, what shall we follow? They say farming, we have seen what is the amount of our market, as compared w ith theirs. Shall we follow commerce? we have seen the beggarly account of that. Shall we all be farmers? to whom shall we sell the surplus products of our labor? not to England, for during the last year she purchased of us but two hundred dollars worth or there abouts, in
deed we have seen she will not surfer us to enter her market. Il is useless to talk about fanning when a maiket can be found for no more than one dollar and sixty six cents worth of surplus pro duce in a year for each persons engaged in it. I i such a state of alTtirs we might eat the fat and marrow of our neasts and wear their hides for clothing, and I do not know what we could turn
ourattentions to, for a livelihood, except it might be, to balls, routes, theatres-, peddling, fiddling or danriiig. Again, our
Sou hern friends tell u5, par raisomte-
men!, "that the duties necessary tor tin
protection of our manufactures compelled them to pay a tax, they were to derive no benefit from, as they manufactur
ed none. True, they mar ufarture no woollens, no cottons, no linens, but they
certainly mai ufacture sugai to a very large amount, and are protected by a very heavy duty, and I recollect very well when a threat was made in 1824 to strike off that duty, the re was much feeling evinced concerning it, by them. The duly on the importation of brown sugar is three cents per pound, while the original price for the article I believe is at
this time not more than from 8 to 10 cents, and on molasses, a duty of five cents a gallon. Let us make some calculations concerning this business, and see if the charge of taxing the many to benefit the few, will not retort upon the heads of our accusers. There were
i made in the year 1818-19 thiitv six uul-
140,000 lb. sugar worth on the ground 75 hds molasses at $80
at the low est possible price. But if he

lasses to $40 per hd. it will then stand
thus 130 acres land produced, with the labor of 23 hands $22,398,40. Well indeed, may our Southern brethren say they need no protection. Where is the farmer in this country, or in the East, that can make with the same number of hands and amount of capital one fifth of that monev in a year? or where is the -woollen fuctonu with three tine's

From the Cincinnati Gazette. WAR NEW S, From the i'pper Mississippi. Extract from a letter, -written by a hourc in 7. Louis, to a gentleman in this city, dated llthJwy, 1827. "We learn, ty the anival of Governor Cass.that the Winnebago Indians have commenced hostilities ai lvalue du Chcin, and the. mining di?nict.
