China, it is said, by means of its numerous canals intersecting each other ever the face of that immense empire, And opening communications between the greatest cities in the world, has created a home market nearly equal to the hole market in Europe. It is to be regretted that we have no detailed account of those stupendous monuments of genius and intcrprize which have thus contributed to make her the most wealthy and independent nation on earth. But China is not the only cxamblc Look at Holland, who by her industry and enterprize has stolen'tcrritory from the ocean, and intersected its surface in every lirection with canals. And did these produce r.o effects? We need only answer bv an appeal to her history. But a few years sinre she was mistress of the ocean, and her thousand sails whitened every sea and enlivened every port. No nation dared then restrict her commerce or insult her flag; the cannon of her ships always thundered successfully, and her flag navcd niumphantly ovct her enemies But although her naval glory ha been eclipsed by the appearance of a brighter constellation, she yet possesses w thin herself wealth and independence Other instances might readily be adduced, but they would be unnecessary The history of the poverty and wealth, the weakness and power, the rise and fall of nations, furnish incontestible proofs of the position ihat the most intimate connexion whirl, can he formed between the remote sections o a country, is the most certain method cf nrecrving its independence of calling forth its latent energies, and thus increas ir.g ts wealth and political consequence.

' senile, nay irresistible, that when its different sections brcome thickly pupula cd, jealousies will arise which will disturo its peace and endanger its liberties. The history of our country although yet in its infancy, has already furnished ampk prooi of this fact; but we arc unwilling to enter into the disgraceful detail Sine then we have already seen sectional interests arise, and local jealousies excited, what may wc not expect, w hen our country shall become ihickiy populated fion. the shores of the Atlantic to those of the Pacifick. Can it be supposed that Pa trionsm, innocent and defenceless as she is can resist the attacks ot those arch fiends, interest and avarice? No the presumption is as idle, as the reality would be dreadful the experience of the world proves its falsity. It follows then

a community of interests, arising from mutual dependence of one section Of Coun "?. consequently, it should be l it b!"5TM. every wise sutcsmwi and Ic gislator to effect this object.

But it is necessary to bind the states together by the people's interests, one ot which is to enable ever) man to sell the produce of his labor at the best market and put chase at the cheapest. This accord- with the idea of Hume, 4that the government of a wise people would be little more than a system of civil police for the bests intcicsts of man is industry, and a free exchange of the produce oi his labor, for the thing he may require. "On this humane principle what stronger bo d of union can be invented, than those which enable each individual to transport the produce cf his industry, 1200 miles for sixty cents the hundred weight?

Washington, March 8 A bib is now before the House of Representatives, having been reported on Monday last by the Committee of Ways and means, the tit'e of which is. a bill to revise and amend the several acts imposing duties on imports and tonae." I his bill proposes certain alterations of the present tariff of duties on imports: and, we incline to think, has a chance of being discussed and, if dicussed, of being passed, at the present session of Congress As the subject is cf much importance we shall publish the bill at large in our next paper. The principal object of the bill is to increase the duties on s'lk, iron hardware, and a variety of specified articles, and to chan-e certain duties, which are now ad vacrrm, to efncjtc duties. ec Fulton's Treatise on Canals, in which at an early peiiod. he called the attention cf the people of the State of V n -York to the subject t the union of Lake Eric with the Hudson river.

CItARLEsTOK, MAHCII 15. The barc-fuctil idany ol iiic puaues on the coast ol Cuba has at last called lorth the ai m of the public authoiity on ihdt Island. Capt Budd, of the schr. Sarah Ann, who arrived yesterday from .Matanzas, informs us that the captain and lieutenant of a piratical vessel that had burnt an American schooner off that port, some time ago, had been condemn ed there to be garrotted, (a sort of chouking to death) but, the executioner being -ick, the culprits were shot. The day before Capt B. sailed, a piratical boat, fitted out at Hegla, was taken in the ba), vuth the assistance of some Spanish so.dicrs Six of the crew were kiiled in the contest, and the remainder, fifteen in number were confined for trial. These effective measures on land, and the vigilance of the American crusers at sea will quickly finish the trade of blood and plunder that has too long been followed with impunity. Mercury, CAMABA, FFB 25. We learn from Judge Stevens of Bibb county, that rich mine of Lead ore has been discovered in the neighborhood ot the ' ahaba Valley, at the . is mcc of a b ut 100 miles from this t.wn The mine is situated near the waters of tie ahaba, and but little beyond the point of boat navagation. We have be lore taken occasion to speak of the vast quantity of s'one or mineral coal and iron ore which abound in this neighborhood. It is gratifying for us to become acquainted with the increasing resources of our countiy; and shall be happy to receive from our subscribers and correspondents any addi tional information on the suhject.
