The truth, on this subjectj would, we apprehend, be a mournful contrast to those beautiful delineations of intelligence and knowledge, which the patriot orator loves to trace on the canvass of Fancy. Politicians, close observers of human nature, alt impose on the credulity of the people. They assume as an axiom, the ignorance of the populace. Let the people correct it, by instructing them selves. Let the young especially, of all classes and conditions, cither individually, or, by societies, learn the Constitution of of the Union--rcad its Commentator the Federalist the reports of Congrcs the Public Documents and the recorded acts of men and parties. They may thu?, with little time and great profit obtain that knowledge which they are daily required to use, and without which they will become mere machinery in the hands of demagogues. Cin.

made by Major Eaton that Mr Markley

was the "negotiator of Mr C lay, 'author-1

ized to make propositions or nk a pledge ,

of a conditional character for the vole ul Mr. Clav and his fiiends," Mr. Maikley

jfiays 'l do no7 solmnly and positively declare that the charge and insinuation are void of truth, i never did, either directly or indirectly, receive from Mr Clay or his i friends any intimation which could be con

strued even by political rancor into such a commisson, or any thing even remotely approaching to it. and further, I never have to any on., at any time, or on any occasion represented m self, or wished to be understood, that I was authorized to receive or to make overtures on the part of Mr. Clay or his friends." No luncuag can b more explicit as no shame h too deep for the propagators of the infamous calumnies which have been built upon this imputed agency of Mr. Markley, in a bargain that never had any existence.

POLITICAL LXSTRVCTIOX. Politics, so called, is the passion of the American people. We seek it as a Tmk

craft and coasters, wafting the products of

our rich" inteiinr or Mipplies from the vallev of the Saquehnnnnh, to every point, r" ladn with fuel or provisions or other articles seeking a market with us. We are extensively, and with reasonable accuracy, informed concerning our foreign trade, & the legislative discretion of the nation is directed by the tables furnished by the treasury department; but we know less of our own domestic nflTairs than of those of Great Britain, France or Germany,

wherein the-wisdomof rulers is displayed in regarding things at home. Hut we hope a change in this respect, and that the American people will hereafter be belter informed of their own means and resources to preserve their independence. Judging by the imports at Bostca, Providence, Nowburyport, and the inland trade from New York, we hai'e reached the conclusion that the present rate of consumption of flour, received from other status, is not less than 000,000 barrels n year in the Nvv England states, with about 2,000,000 bushels of corn, and other bread stuffs. A very intelligent gentleman, sperjiug on this subject, observed "The consumption of flour in Massa-

! chusetts has incieased as 20 to 1, in sis ! years, and is continually increasing, and is ! now about 230,000 barrels a year. In- ! stead of rye and Indian bread, which was

formerly almost exclusively useu, wuem is now thought of even by the poorer classes as indispensable to their co.T.fort, as well as more eccnsmircl -believing they can buy their bread stuffs by laboring in manufactories, cheaper, than by tillinrj land for it." From what has been already stated, i, must appear that the bread-stuffs of the farmers of the raiddle end V7est?t n stfits:,

hve their chief market in the eastern districts of cur country. Flour and corn are transported even into the interior of Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts and Connecticut, and large quantities reach Vermont. Our belief as before expressed, is that not less than 800,000 barrels of floor and 2,000.000 bushels of com are exported eastward from the grain-growing states to supply the nsw demand for food caused by the industry exerted in various manufactures in New England, and which the latter would be unable to purchase unices paid for in goods. Many ste go-owners and innkeepers of u: interior, tied he horses kept by th m upon, southern corn. These imports of flour and torn, may be valued at 5,000,000 dollars, and employ vessels to transport 130,000 tons annually, on which a freight is earned, ielding subsistence to many seafaring persons and others" interested in navigation, ship building a d its numerous subordinate branchc. The whole foreign export of la 820 barrels of flour and 505,381 bu e!s of Indian corn, together valued at 4.506, 421 or half a million less in v;due to the agriculturalists of the grain-growing stat es than their own unvalued and almas' unknown eastern market; soma :; havi. t?-cy kept their eyes fixed upon foreign :adc, that they overlooked that trade whn h is at home, though greater than the other! 385.535 bbls. of flour. 44 057 bef and pork, 31,175 salt 1,500.000 bnshch of grain, chiefly wheat, 17,905 b-ans and peas, 761 tons of clover seed, 1 20 of wo 1, 841 cheese, 1,126 butter and lard, 153 hops. 143 furs 9,145 boxes of glass l, 60S 030 gals, domestic spirits, were among the articie which passed i .ward on the 11. V. canals during the fast vear. The whole number of boats mu! r,:ft- was IT, 950 of tons, inward, 2-12.368! The tolls paid amounted to 771,780 10 ct?. There were, last year, about ore hundred sail of brigs and schooners plying between our potts on lake Erie anc? ilia other Upper lakes, vV ith seven steam bo .ts. The tonnage will be inereared 56 percent, in the present year, and be. dout.Jed before the expiration of 1823; a'd trebled or quadrupled when the gr ai Oh:e canal shall be finished Mau will sooe he required for the ravigati. n cf )nke Michigan. All this business. x op! whar n:.3 carried on by four or five littic v.sols. has grown up sh.ee the termination of j e hue war, in 1815 Thcr e j1? are many ve sols on lakes On'ario af d Champlam. Nothingrcan shew the present afc- pTeitlv increasing value of the -rade b tv en the states more satisfactorily (has. rbes-e general remark? and rsulh; but vi- U.Al add many particulars, that the mir.e.of everv one may morf f asily grasp at the magnitude of the subj c. A - d, when wc consider the numerous xwrtrrcs thai arc made by the vessels employed in our coasting trade, its vastly superior importance over the fotign mus-t ctrike even reflecting individual. The internal trade, in its repeated voyages, transports v ry many times more tons of goods than the foreign, which will undoubtedly appear because of the vast amount of articles required for the home supply over the forcign demand. The tonnage of Boston and Baltimore are more likely to be affected by the growth of manufactures, than any other of our chief ports. The first is the centre of the greatest manufacturing district, the second of a great grain-growing one. Each city shews a handsome increase in two years. The increare is going on yet more rapidly It is probable that the gross tonnage of Boston now is 165,000, and of Baltimore 120,000 the greater part of the increase is in enrolled tonnage, for the coasting trade. The enrolled ton

nage at Philadelphia is also rising rapidly,

because of internal improvements and the new products brought to market, especially coal, vith increased quantities of flour, iron, whiskey and other manufactured articles. The tonnage tables oflC27 will instruct us much on this subject. Iron and its manufactures, until after it passes the state of bar or rolled iron, may, without any great stretch of the imagination, rather be regarded as the representativn of cgiicultural products than of manufactures, for the reason that so large a proportion of the value of the article is derivedfrooths cost of subsisting the makers of it, and for supplies of fuel end transportations.
