FROM 1 HI NEW -HA Mrs HIRE PATRIOT. NATIONAL WEALTH DOMES1 IC INDUSTRY. The wealth and prosperity of a nation csientully depend on the pioioclion and eucouragemtHt ol its industry. The popie of tfds country ar now experiencing the sad rediiy of this truth ; lor no government m modern times, with a country so rich in internal resources, has brought into general uselulncus so little, or so sparingly eiuouraged its peculiar energies For years tnis complaint has been unceasingly made ; and the Uts proceedings in congress inspired the hope tiiat a policy would at least be adopted which should foster the iuduitry and promote the real wealth oi our country But this hope was groundless. The representatives of the people were not yet convinced of the necessity of checking a commercial evil the continual drain of the metaiic cunencv of the nation hoi(ting the opinion pcrhups, that our manufucuu vs, left to themselves, would rise f rh v v. . r::r-J luccrst ,ud that the in- , .'cc. uing to eomrnerce and aricultuit Wv'-ihl far owt-wt i " I - the advantages arising fi'n the protection of nianuiac tines . could not wiih t.) hf.c one branch of industry encouraged t the cxpf?e of i ny othrr ; but if one m:t receive no advantage should it he. u iiicnopoly which thiow nt the J.rmds of f'reignrrs the regulation of our markets and the disposal tf our reouicts ; or one which, while it abundantly supplies the demands of the country, keeps its wealth within us b ibuiii ?

And the acriculuiralists would eventually re?; a double advun-nge in the increased deniand fur ihf products of the soil. A piesr.nt. witli t'nc means of supplying the whole world with cotton goods, we lavish our treasures in foreign countries (or c tton good of inferior quality. The ftbricsof the American loom are in r;o way inferior to those of other nations ; but tlia enrounjjement afforded to foreign maufactu:es by their respective governments, enables them to supplant cur infant establishment by under selling, to the uiin of thousands who are engaged in them Our woolen manufactures excel in durability and firmness these of other nations ; yet becau e others can be purchased chsafier our sheep are neg ectcd, the noise of the loom is hushed and our young men strut in Yorkshire atgl the yard 1 Our pottery and delf ware, our cambricks and muslins, nay almost every article of common use or conveni

ence, mut have enjoyed the comforting

tens now pining in want better to spread ruin amongst thousands of our countrymen, destroy all our manufacturing establishments, and depend upon othei na tions for the supply of all our wants than by a timely policy restore the drooping spirit of Industry, give new life and vigor to our establishments, and fix up on firm foundations our real independence or freedom, while we toil foranoth ers benefit, and pay to British Merchants that tribute in the shape of commerce which our fathers rwfused to their government in the form of taxes The wily policy of European governments forms a most striking contrast to the indifference of our own. England, whose natural resources are greatly inferior to ours : by her system ot encouragement to manufactures, has raised herself to a great degree of wealth and pewer. This system may in many of its parts be odious, and very inapplicable to our country ; but there is much of political wisdom in its policy. Indeed, it is this course which has so long preserved her existence which has made her the atbitress the scourge, and the fear cf so many nations But if it is said that England, so redundant in population could no; be an agricultural nation, and was therefore driven to the policy she so long pursued; Russia may be mentioned, as a country more nearly corresponding in extended territory and scattered population with the United States. Her rulers seeing the advantage of creating a home market for the people, have prohibited, under penalty of confiscation, the importation of those articles which can be manufactured mt home. Her raw materials arc wrought by her own citizens ; and she reaps the benefit of their industry. France, Austria, and Denmark have adopted a similar policy, and live with England and each other in the protcciiun they ofTcr to their national industry. "France (says a late ingenious writer) has nerely by Jirtt cting the industry f her nubjccts, healed ah the wounds she received by the profligate ambition of her rulers, by the ravages of immense armies, and by forced contributions of about 100 millions of doHn's She has risen from a state of extreme depression to a high state of prosperity and happiness. We (the United States) have sunk from a high degree of prosperity and happiness to a state of extreme depression. The secret is. she protected rational industry frcm, weabandened it to, the ruinous consequent ces of foreign rivalship." The exam pies of other nations though not alw&yt to be cited, should at least serve to rous us to a sense of our condition. While distress and ernhai rassrntnt pervade the country banks fail bankruptcies d ly multiply, and every species of industry fias for want of support the nation must be sinking, and its life blood gushiag out. The only way to remove thcic evils, to restore national industry, s. j throw off the thirsty blood sucker of excessive importation, is to 4 fdaee the manm ufatturer bctidr the agriculturalist1 anj give to both suitable cnrouucnipnt.. The man, says the illusttiou JfTf rGn "who is now against domestic mauf.x! tures, must be for reducing us cither io a. dcpT.dfnce on a foreign xmion, or ?0 ie
