infant dependent upcnit for support.I, at the same time, stated that the salt

trade was m a very depressed state, and that it continued to fall ciT I think it ! cannot be doubted, that the salt trade, in common with all staple Ilritish manufactures, is entitled to the protection of government; and the British manufacturers of salt consider that, in common with cither manufacturers of this country, they ore entitled to such protcctitn in particular from a competition ct home vnth fareign manufacturers; and in consequence they hope to tee a. prohibitory duty on foreign salt.' Such was the petition of the British manufacturers. They urged the amount of their capital, the depressed state of their business, the number of persons dependent upon it for suppoit, the duty of the government to protect it, the necessity for a prohibitory duty on salt, and the fact that they were making more than the country could consume. The ministry backed them with a call for the continuance of the revenue; one million five hundred thousand pounds sterling, j

derived tiom the salt tay; and with aishoud be applied, in preference to anv

threat to lay that amount on something else if it was taken ofT of salt. All would not do. Mr Calcraft, and his friends appealed to the rights and inter ests of the people, as overruling consid orations in questions of taxation. They denounced the tax as little less than impiety, and an attack upon the goodness and wisdom of God, who had filled the earth, and the waves of the sea, with salt for the use and blessing cf man, and to whom it was denied, its uec clogged &nd fettered, by odious and abominable taxes. They demanded the whole repeal; and svhen the ministry. & the manufacturers, overpowered by the voice of the people, tfvfered to give up three fourths cf it ihey bravely resisted the proposition, atood out for total repeal, and carried it. Mr B could not doubt a like result here, Sc he looked forward, with infinite satisfaction, to the e ra of a free trade in salt The first effect of such a trade "Would be to reduce the price of alum salt, at the import cities, to cigb or nine cents a bushel The second effect would be to get rid of the tariff regulation, which substituted weight for measure, end a return to the measuted bushel ot eighty pounds instead of the weighed cue ot fifty. I he third effict would be to establish a great trade, carried on by; darter between the inhabitants of the U j Died States and the people of the countries which produce alum salt, to the infinite advantage and corotort of both partics lie examined the operations o! this! barter at New Orleans He said this pure and superior salt, made cntitcly b so. ir evaporation, came from countries which were deficient in articles of food, In which hc west abounded.

O a vui.:.l b. covered; the wate houses vvmi'd be crammed with ali; the trade would become extensive and umvcisal, if this odious duty was suppressed: a bushel of corn or potatoes, Q few pounds ot beef or pork, would purchase a sack of sail; the steam boats would bring it up for a trifle; and all the upper stares of the Great Valley where nalt is scarce, so dear, and so indispensable for rearing stock and curing provisions, in addition to all its obvious uses, ?ould be cheaply and abundantly supplied with that article. Mr B concluded with saying, that, next to the rcduc lionof the price of public lands, and the free use of the earth for labor and culti vation, he considered the abolition of the Salt tax and a free trade in foreign salt, os the greatest blessing which the Federal Congress could now bestow upon the people of the west.

The New York Enquirer says, that probably three thousand persons attended at the Bowery Theatre to hear Miss Wright's Farewell Address, one half ol whom were respectable females! It is represented as a "singular melange ot politics and impiety eloquence and irreligion bold invective and electioneeri;i slang

" This

was receivcu wim aircmccuous m.oui ci applause. She boldly and fearlessly a- i vowed th3t her object was to overturn the present institutions of society, but that her means were peaceful. Her weapon to accomplish this was republican education, as she called it. She alluded to the era of 1801, when democracy triumphed, and swore 4by the sword of Washington," "by the good seuse ol Franklin," by the democracy cf Jefftr son," that she would exert her whole en ergies in pursuit of her object. That object is to make but one class cf human bemgz, and this is to be accomplished by equalizing every man and woman as to know ledge, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

Jl Mr. fceett s "Indiana viazettccr, we propose to publish, as early as practicable. a Gazetteer cf the State; which w ill be ou the usual plan cf works ef this kind, and will embrace, among ether things, a de scription of the Counties, Towi s, Lakes, K i vers. Creeks, Roads, ccc. i he descrip tions of Counties will show their situation, time of organization, extent, boundary, quality of soil, water privileges, amount cf population, number and character cf churches and schools, &c. The descrip tions cf Towns will embrace their location the w hole number cf inhabitants, the num ber of professional men, artists, merchant?. mechar.!cs, the progress ot improvement. ditances frcm the seat cf government and from other important points, their latitude, longitude cc The decriptior. rf Rivers, and Creeks will be somewhat general, showing their scurce and confluence, size, iem;tu the facccf the country through wklil; they,, run, navigable advantages, ccc. It is deemed unnecessary to say much in relation to the importance and VuiiiC ct the proposed publication. Every person, who will reflect a moment on the subject, will be convinced of its utility, and will see the importance of patronizing it. Such works have been liberally patronized in many cc our sister states; and it is presumed that there is r.o state in the Union whose history, population, soil, and natural advantages arc less understood than those cf Indiana. Besides being interesting and valuable to all classes of the people, such a work will add greatly to th character of the state abroad, by developing, in some measure, the v ast ics' urces ot the state, her rcpidly increasing population, and her naturr.l advar tapes. Accompanying and attached to the Gazetteer, will be a MAP of the state, on a. small scale, but sufficiently large to contain every thing of importance which can be found in Maps cf a larges size. The Mar shall be executed with the greatest possible accuracy. Every exertion will be used to make the work accurate and interesting, being well aw are that much of its value w ill depend cn the correctness with which the descriptions are given. It will be printed on good paper, with typographical neatness and accuracy, and will contain about (W pages duodecimo, with substantial binding. The price to subscribers will be Oxe Dollar per copyr payable cn the delivery cf the work. Twenty-five per cent, on the subscription, piice will be added to non-subscribers. DOUGLASS cc MAGUIRE.
