SHIPPING "INTEREST.
To the Editor of the Boston Courier.
Sin—As tho friend of every species of do
mestic industry, I have a warm feeling for tho
shipping interest: I say feeling, because I am
really attached to a ship. I never hear the
cheering yo heave v<> of the sailor, hut there is
a kind of thrilling sensation runs through my
veins. There is something honorable in brav
ing tho dangers of the seas, and tho lino of
beauty is perhaps no where more delightfully
exhibited, than in tho sail, swelling to the
breeze. I have boon a ship owner, and some
what of a sailor, all which I mention here, not
that any of ttic particular penchant of an indi
vidual, cat) be interesting to tho community,
but as I proposo to consider how this great, in
terest of our blessed country is to be best pro
moted, yon will dot, accuse me of egotism, that
I should thus tar introduce myself to you, anil
to thoso whoanay honor my lucubrations with a
perusal. Nor will it, I trust, ofiend any otto,
that for a moment before we enter upon the
subject, I should [by way of episode] pay a
passing tribute to tlto founders of our gallant
little navy. What bosom is not alive to the
glory whieh*wo have achieved, to the laurels
wo havo acquired, through tfio IItills, the De
caturs the Bainbridges, and a host of other
worthies who broke the charm, which had
heretofore bound nil nations to the dominant
power of Great Britain on tho ocean. Tho
mountain-wave is no longer Iter exclusive homo
—sho has there been taught a lesson she will
never forgot, nnd millions that arc yet unborn,
will bless the hour, when her Gucrricre. was
subdued, and the trident of Neptune thus wrest
ed from her grasp. But to my subject. I
have said that no interest in our country was
of more importance than iho shipping interest;
I repeat it. And it remains now to consider
how that interest is.to be host promoted. *
, Tho wars df tho French Revolution, made
America tho carriers of the whole worfd, und
naturally threw all tho capital which could be
spared from agriculture into commcrco; through
out that unnatural state of tilings tho commerce
between tlto colonies and the mother-countries
of almost all tho belligerents, was carried on in
American bottoms, and tho result was, sueh
profitable voyages were made, and so much
wealth flowed in upon us, that naturally enough
the whole nation looked up tq commerce as the
greatest source of prosperity, and so long as
that stnto of things existed, no question but it
was so. But tho temple of Janus was not al
ways to, remain ppen; a general peace in Eu
rope restoring to each nation its natural sharo
of commerce, necessarily curtailed ours, and to
overy reflecting mind produced a vory different
stale of things. But man, though a reasoning,
is mot always a reasonable animal. We have
become wealthy through our commerce, the
contracting armies of Europe had beon sus
tained by our agriculturists, supplied by our
shipping, and even tho luxuries of the East and
West Indies were never carried to the conti
nent of Europe, except in American bottoms.
It is hard to induce men to believe, that what
has heretofore been done, cannot be done t-
gain; upon this principle, attuched as wo aro
to that species, of employment, we were very
reluctant to try any thing else, and so we kept
on. The young men of.our cities, educated to
no other pursuit, must havo employment, most
of them had frionds, and. thus voyages wero
gotten up, not because commcrco was a profit
able pursuit, but because it was our hobby.—
Wo were infatuated with it, and hundreds and
hundreds of voyages were projected, not that
treasonable profit was expected, but to employ
our over abundant tonnage, and to give our
young men something to do.
Merchants and ship owners, I appeal to you
for the truth of what I am writing; was there
a trade on earth, that was not forced until ev
ery ono thought himself in great good luck
who made a saying voyage. Nay, why should
I cay, teat it not so? Is it not so, at the moment
I am writing? Bear with me, ye that are fasci
nated with commerce, and that would destroy
manufactures in the real sincerity and honesty
of your hearts, for I do not mean to accuse
you of improper motives. Bear with mo, [ be
seech you, while I draw the picture of a com
mcrco to which this great and highly favored
country is destined; and which, unlike the sick
ly plant, you would now foster at the expense
of our most important interests, will, when
once it is fairly established, exceed in amount
both of tonnage, capital nnd profit, any thing
• wo havo known for a long time.
Our Southern States must forever supply
Europe with all their’Cotton, from the simple
nnd plain reason, that Europe wants it, and
( "that wo can supply them at the cheapest rates.
Do not let us for a "moment believe, in tho fa
voritism of England, and that sho takes our
otton, our rice, our tobacco, because she loves
us. Interest is tho spring of human action,
and nations are composed of human beings;
hence we neod look to no other feeling than in
terest, and this feeling on tho part of Europe
will prompt her always to take the articles I
have named. Could they be produced at the
same cost to her at home, or in tho colonies,
our planters would soon know how much inter
est is her governing principle; for even now
when sho is threatened with tho loss of this
country far her woollen manufactures, tliero is
to be, it is said, a modification of hor Corn
laws; and if ministers shall believe it will be
to tho interest of Great Britain, they will be
modified; and no ono will rejoice more th in
myself, should the modification answer any
good purpose to this country. But I am fully
sensible .hut wo lose ground, by looking so
nnich abroad for bur policy. Our own pro
ductions we shall carry to Europe, bocauso we
can prodace them and carry them as cheap, if
not cheaper, than any other country can fur
nish them. Of this part of our commerce,
then, there is no danger—due protection to
manufactures will uot injure this. Well—what
other commerce can wo fairly expect, and how
is that best to be kept in a healthy state? If
we go to China, what do wo bring front thence?
articles to furnish us with new voyages? No,
the trade of Holland and the Continent with
tho productions of China is at an end. We
bring thetf articles for consumption. If we go
to Bengal, or India within the Ganges, what
comes from thence? Still tho same story, com
modities to be consumed in the country. If
wo go to Europe, of what do our return car-
goes consist? To South America and tho West
Indies—it is the same tiling. And what do
we import and by whom is it consumed? Of
the raw material, we import wool from almost
all Europe; iudigofrom Bengal; from the Me
diterranean, olive oil, soap, and drugs of every
description; front South America, indigo and
hides, and thence, and from the West Indies,
sugar and coffee; uud to nearly all these coun
tries we export more or less of our manufac
tures. To Mexico and South America, there
goes no ship that would be sent there, were it
not for our manuficturcs.
What, then, is wanting to increase our com
merce? I say consumers, consumers, consum
ers. .Raise up in your country as many man
ufactures ns you can. If you would promote
tho shipping interest, create manufactures.
I havo said nothing of our. coasting trade
because that it is in so flourishing a state, that
it speaks for itself.
The hundreds of vessels employed in bring
ing cotton from the South and taking back our
manufactures, tho immenso internal navigation
through the medium of our various canals, are
all alike dependent upon our manufactures! 1!
I say again then, if you would enlarge com
merce, give protection to your manufactures;
if you would advocate agriculture, you must in--
crease the manufacture of wool; in fine, in
whatever point of view I look at it, it appears
to mo to be one of thoso simple propositions,
on which r.o man can err, if ho will give it a
thought; for after all is said, and written to ex
plain tho various operation of'this plain truth,
to this itAPCurs. atlast. . -. ‘ nffcif* ~ - -
iryoii would Bench and prosperous, multi
ply yout sources of industry, for it is industry
alono that constitutes real wealth.
Our people once sonsible of nnd acting upon
this principle, wc shall have a commerce ftiund-
od upon a solid basis. Every country of tho
known world wiicre man is to bo found,
will furnish somo article, cither of necessity or
luxury, which we shall want; the sails of our full
freighted ships will whiten every sea. We may
then emcr tlto lists with tho most favored na
tions. Relying on our own resources, tributa
ry to none for the happiness which will per
vade all classes of society, wo shall ho united os
a band of brothers, realizing all the blessings
of our political institutions, and cherishing the
principles which alone can enable us 19 trans
mit them to our posterity.

merely to hear himself talk, and see his name

contend that his remarks are ever much to tho
point, or seem to havo any other object in view.
Atnl yet his speeches, if speeches they may be
called, his rignfarole of abuse.and calumny, are
reverberated from press to press through this
state, and lauded and panegyrized as something
supereminently smart. What will not Faction
do to support its cause!
As an instance of his indifference to the par
ticular interests of his constituents, as well as
of national affairs generally, and as proof that
he talks merely from the vanity of showing him
self, he says, at the winding up of ono of his
long speeches on the Georgia Question, “I am
entirely indifferent what decision may be
made!” A pretty confession indeed! What! a
representative in Congress indifferent what de
cision is made on an important.question?
representative from Georgia too? And on a
question in which the interests and sovereign

Prodigious? Prodigious!
During his life, says a Foreign paper, Buona

confidential letters, written to him, by several
of tho sovereigns of Europe. This curious
and important volumo he esppcially recom
mended to tjio Caro of his brother Joseph; but
by some means or other it found its way to
London; whore it was bought for. the sum of
700,000 francs by tho minister of a groat pow
er, who amply reimbursed himself for his specu
lation, by giving up to vari6us*miuistcrs the
loiters of their respective sovereigns.

standing the subservience of Gov. Troup to the

are treatod with contempt by eventfionest po

as ono of tho regular toasts at a public dinner
given to Mr. Tyler by the citizens of Charles

"Governor Troup—Perpetuity to his memory, as the

air is necessary to enable man to breathe; but
it has lately been disposed to stop the breath.’
Tho atmosphere of New York must possess
