I make no presumptuous pretensions to greater wisdom than my neighbors; but 1 have had more It i-nr- than mnnv, an I I have employed it in examining, with much care, many pap rs and public dot umcnts hit !i arc not very generally circulated. The results mai be ue(ul and interesting to those who have not had the same opportuniti tr perhaps, no. the ?amc leisure to improve them. Here are some of them.

The avc" rnir; expenditure lor the last two years has exceeded by some pour h: vwv. mili.ioxs vlu. Uie average of Van Huron's and Jackson's administrations. The ;i! li-', and o ;.' r Kpcns s of that class, have averaged about onc'sixth m r than they lil under an Buren. The j :nscs ti Congress have ex- ' reded those of the two last sessions under Van Buren's administration 1 more than I'm- hundn I thousand dollars The debt of the General Government was less than li millions and h third wh n Van Buren went out It i- more than FIVE TIMES that amount now, and ii continually increasing. -t duti a by the new tarilT are ahigh, or nearly ;i hish, as t'n-v ever wer-" in this count : ci n in I tiJ8, w hen liieiramounl almost caused a civil war. The principles of tlie Compromise Bill have been violated. The new tarilT duties now average at least some thirty three per cent. The South and the V st agreed to the heavy duties of 1V in consideration of their hi inf' freed from tht ic l gradual reduction, and having but a tVwc, t vntlar tariff aflrrvards We fulfilled our part of the bargain, (if I may so mk nk) and now t!i North and tli North Bast refhc to fulfil theirs. Henry Clav gave u t und rst md in 1 to. that it should be ftilnlled: but tint promise, liU otlw made before tho i. ! riion. h;i been broken since. If wc arc to have prosperous tin - here in the West again OVre must have sufji- ; vital market for our surplus produce. Now ask yours 'Ives, where are we to lind such a marLet! Among the Southern planters! Every boatman Know- that that market hi getting , worse every y nr. The State of Mississippi grows almost all t!i" t orn, and raises almost ; all the pork she uses, already. I saw pens of si vi ral hundred tine hogs, b longing to . planters there, last winter. 1 remarked, that they a remcd detcrmint i wc should not supply them. No," Was the reply: "you Western larm 'rs made us high enough for our provisions a few years ago; but wc an do wil?tout 'mi now." Arkansas pursues the -mi policy. Even Ixuisiana i- adopting it. AH this Lime onr protlucc. here in the West, i- increasing. New lands arc settled; new ! farms are opened. The upper Mississippi and Missouri countries, Ire' of public debt, ar.' pouring low n their produce ny thousands of boat load. The New Orleans market i completely overfilled, and, if we go down th rii-r, e ate at th" mercy of speculators. We hardly get enough for our produce to pay for tht boat and hands. Wc CIYi: AWAY our labor W bat is to be done, then! Can the manufacturers of the North ami East consume our surplus! That is the usual argument to recoucilc us to the protective policy. Now, observe! There i a certificate published in .Nil Register, from three of th-- principal commission merchants dealing in Wt stern provisions, in New Vork; and they certify that, on the average of the year 1841, Ohio pork netted, in that city, after j;iiii'- en penses, ' dollar and thirtv-three cents n himti and on the average of the whole of the ar IS! . it netted SEVENT - FIVE CENTS a hundred The North and Bast are, in defiance of the Compromise let, to be hobt red n; bi a hili taril", and our part of the ben fit i-. that wc are to hat j the privileg of selling these tariffprotect I nianufac-1 tu ; i r- our pork at seventy -five ccntsa li".t dred!

But what chance i there of a foreign outlet?, 1 .-e no justice or reason in admitting into th-' United State-, free, the produce of tho-if: t ountri ci thti tax our productions at a high rate.

In gun the reform. Her government will be i ompellcd to continue it. There 1 a Society latt ly I rmed in England, called the Anti-Corn-Law League, the object of which i. to have the duties on foreign wheat wholly taken off They have already collected, lv a w subtcription, neo hundred and fifty thousand dollars, to aid in ipreading their rirn iplcs1 and they print and send ou all over ih' kingdom, every week, a fon and n half of papers and pamphlets. Every voter in (r-at llritain i- tt have a pamphlet sent to him. free of cost. Many paper- warmly support th ir cause No govcrnm ;nt under th i sun can hold oat ag uast suctt . ,y"rt. I effect, wc learn by a letter published by .ii es, iVo'Jl Joseph Hume, a member of Parliament, to Daniel Jenifer, member of Congress from Maryland, that i meeting of oat hundr ! an I iw nty members of the Ikiii-h Parh.ament agreed n resolutions ia fnvnr on ning to England the provision tradt of. America Such a trade, says the B dtimorc editor, will bring wealth and prosperity to all classes of onr industrious citizens." If we show a disposition to meet this movem nt half way, it i sure to -in ceed. Now, what has been the action of Congress in thin matter! Here it is. Head and ondei ! Senator Tappan, d" Ohio, proposed last fall, when the tariff bill was ondi r discussion, to insert in it a clause, that whenever it was satisfactorily proved that any foreign notion liml passed laws to admit our OrCirn, Wheat. Ii"ir. Pork ' fieeffret of tutj. then all duties on merchandise from t: at nation should be reduced, - that none should exceed twenty percent. The amendment was voted down: EVERY WHIG SEN TOU VOTING AGAINST IT, l EVERY DEMOCRATIC SENATOR VOTING FOR IT. ( )ur own Indiana S ;nators, Smith and White, both voted against I . How would you have voted, if you had been there! I will undertake to answer lor nu. on would have voted, almost to a man, Senator Tappan's proposal. N ben the big Senators from Indiana voted against it. they voted for one of the great measures ot their party, but against th will and against th int rests of the State they represented. If the provision market of Great Britain, with her twenty -s n millions i souls, were opened to us, then- i- no competition wc need 'tear. By olli ial accounts collected by the Consols in each place, the price of wheat in fourteen principal wheat-growing countrit s on the continent Burope, (who would le our competitors) averages a dollar and thirty' oitr and a half cents at. home: the average frieght l England is fjlcen cents; so that the wheat, in lni!. landed in England, avt rages a dollar and forty-six and a half a nts a bushel. Now, wc enn atlord to sell onr wheafcat sis ' bits a bushel, and live by it : shilling a I bushel will take it to New Orleans; and I Nile- estimates the average freight across at ' twenty cent4 from our Eastern markets: say twenty-five cents from N a Orleans. Then we ran aflbrd to l ind it in lngl Hid at a rtW- ' and sixteen and a half cents a bushel; and thus to undersell th' European wheat growers, thirty t i nts a bushel. (The small int idcntal expenses, insurance, &c, arc not calculated in eitlicr case.) But for the last forty vcars the price i wheat in Great Britain has averaged over two dollars n bushel.1 So that, even with twenty I r tent tariff duty on onr wheat, wc could aflbrd to sell i'. there at an excellent profit, and yet furnish it at least one-fourth cheaper than has usually been paid fork in that taiiilridden island. Great Britain and Ireland consume yearly over seventy-fivt million bushels of wheat. The market, then, i- larg i enough. Indiana, at prt sent, grows only about four iii!!Iia- bushels annually It i- very easy to r.ii-" an outcry against a foreign market, and taik very patriotically about the mis-called u American Syst my' and protecting home industry. But let us now see how those practice w ho preach so well, on tin- subject 1 have now lying before me Nibs's Register of September l'K IMO. It contains a table of the export- ol the United State for thirty-fix years, beginning with ll'.i),: and it -how - the amount ot maoulat ture -i n', oll'io foreign nation- each year, and also, in another column, the amount of farm produce not including Cotton or Tobacco) sent abroad during each of t' se thirty-six years by the United States.

The export- of arm produce have bei n continually diminishing not even stationary, but DIMINISHING, from nearly twenty millions in ls:)i down to nearly nim millions in 1838 ! If you doubt this, come to the public meetings, and you -hall see th? table yourselves. This may serve to show you the effects of the hign tariff system. It may serve, too. as a pretty good example ol the difference between profession and practice The manufacturers, then, have no objection to a foreign market. They understand the adrantagci of it. perfectly, fr themselves But they choose to keep tip high duties on their manufactures, provoking retaliation from Other nation-: and thus chaining u down, for our provisions, to a home market, where we tr't three ipi !r!irs

They arc very kind! We have the veri great satisfaction, then, of knowing, that wc arc comforü&bry protect d by a tariff dutv from the chance ol foreigners exporting to this Western country wheat worth a dollar and a half or two dollars a bushel at home, paying fr i'it and charges on it, and then underselling us in our own market.

Who know - but the French or the Knglisli mil ht take a fancy to export t ordwood by ship'oads for tht West, freight it in steam-lioats up tlie Mississippi, and thus ruin the trajle of our choppers here in the hack j woods! These tariff advocates are not content lo empty our pockets; they must laugh at us too. Tin y add insult to injury. 1 have no prejudice against manufactures or manufacturers.
