IND l QO.
Extract from the speech of Mr. Halle, of Mississippi,
on the pro|ioscd Alteration of the Tariff, Delivered
House of Representatives of the United States.
April 7,1828.
Mr. Iluile moved to amend the resolution of
Mr. Wolf, by adding, “on indigo, one dollar
pei pound; on castor oil, two dollars per bot
tle.”
In support of this resolution, Mr. II. went
into a statement of facts in relation to tho past
and presont state of tho culture of indigo in tho
United States. It was a plant, he observed,
peculiarly well adapted to the soil and climate
of the southern portion of tho Union. The
culture oi it was introduced in South-Carolinu,
by Miss Lucas, afterwards the mother o! Charles
Cotesworth Pinckney, in the year 1741; and
such was its progress, that in seven years after
wards, the quautity exported irons that State
was two hundred and sixteen thousand nine
huudred aud twenty-four pounds; and at a pe
riod shortly preceding the revolutionary war,
tho amount had swelled to one million one huu
dred mid seven thuusand six hundred and
sixty pounds. Forty years ago, it reached two
judiionsol pounds, l'ho export declined, how
ever, so as to lull, in 1793, to six hundred and
niuety thousand uinu hundred and eighty-nine
pounds; hut it continued to occupy tho atten
tion of that Sta.e till the year 1807, at which
period u rovolutiou was produced in tho histo
ry of manufactures, by tho invention qf tho
Cotton Gin; a discovery for which tho ingen
ious aud enterprising inventor was deservedly
rewarded by a douuliou from tho Legislature,
ol fifty thousuud dollars. Tito introduction of
the improved machinery of Sir Richurd Ark-
wright, still farther advanced this change; and,
ill effect, gave birth to lira cotton trade, iu this
country.—At the date of Mr. Jay’s Treaty,
cotton was scarcely kuuwu in the United States;
but so rapidly did its culiivutiou spread, that
its product soon increased, in amoum, from a
thousand to a million of hales; realizing to the
pluutcrs a roveuue of more than twenty-five
million of dollars. This was the real cause of
lira deciiue iu the cultuio of indigo. The » it-
ton plant Was found so welcome and profitalJo
a guest, that it soon turirau out the previous oc
cupant of lira soil. Indigo ceased to ho produc
ed; and instead of exporters, the pooplo of the
South soon became importers, of that commit-
dity. But now the state of tilings was return
ing, which had existed before lira cotton giu
was kuowu. The price of cotton had fallen,
to such a degree, that inhabitants of tho South
would once more bo obliged to direct their at
tention to lira culture of indigo. And why
should not a protecting duty ho imposed upon
this, us well as other products Uf American in
dustry 1 Gentlemen were making the bill re
semble a pedlar’s wagon, by tho number and
mixed character of the items it contained: why
uot, when loading it with’all sorts of notions,
throw in a little iudigo among tho rest 1 It was
necessary,to complutcan a:soiled cargo. This
would bo ’’encouraging lira agricultural inter
est.” Nothing was more easily raised than
this plant.' iu fiveyeurs, enough might bo rais
ed to supply not only the United States, but all
Europe into the bargain. Aud surely Ilf Nor
thern gentlemen insisted on taxing those of the
South for every puuud of.wool, thoy ought at
ieasi to givo them sumo protection iu raising a
crop so peculiarly adapted to tho region they
inhabited* Did they prefer to pay a high price
for the article, wlrau thoy might get it at u mod
erate price 1 Did thoy iusist on bringiug it from
tho Spanish islands, uuJ lira East Indies when
they could get thousands and millions of it from
Alabama, Georgia, and tho Curolinas. .Would
they go abroad for an article osseatial to manu
factures, when they could get it in their owu
country! Was this “tho American System 1”
It was true, the Southern States hud tho cotton
trade: and it was by no means certain that they
would liavo it uuy longer. Great Britain wu‘s
adopting a policy, the exptess object of which
was to transfer this trade to a different quarter;
and it would soon be enjoyed by. Egypt, and
the Brazils. But suppose it did not; the trade
did not yield two per coat; and if it did not
alter; it must soon be abandoned; and they
must turn their attention to the cultivation of in
digo. A great market would beopon:forns
tho culture of cottuo, in Egypt, the Brazils,
and Bengul, increased, that of indigo would
proportiouably decline; and nothing was easi
er than to supply tho market of tho world, from
the southern suction of tho United States.
As to castor oil, it was a commodity which
wo cobid, and did produce with great case^and
in the highest perfection. The oil of this coun
try was greatly superior to that of the West
Indies. It might, perhaps, bo asked, why Ira
proposed to lay the duty upon the bottle, and
not upon the gallo.i i lio would answer that
inquiry by stutiug, that ho had, in this particular
followed lira example of the English reveipie
law. Finding that the cultivation of this pr6-
duct was injurious to their sugar islands, they
laid a duty equal to one dollar and sixty cent's
a bottle upon the article. With a correspon
ding duly we can, in this country, carry on a
profitable business in the cultivation of the plant,
and tho expresure of tho oil. He would refer
gen lenten, on this subject to an authprity they
would nut dispute; it was no loss a name than
that of Mr. Niles, tho Magnus Apollo of the
turilTsysicm. Wbai docs he say on tho pro
priety of protecting this product of American
industry 1
"Amtruan Castor Oil. This valuable med
icine is nude by expi tssnig the oiltrom the bean
of tho plant “Falma Christi,” and is now culti
vated in seme ol tlie ra ddle and western States
to great advau'age. It wax not until the for
eign counties, on which we heretofore were de-
peudent for this article, laid a high oxport duty
oo it, that led to the muoulaciu; o of c-ismr oil
in the United Slates, where it- is now made in
great abundance, of a better quality, and stales*
price. Large quantities ’ of American.' cold-
pressed stator oil were ibipped^t# feudeain
Volume 1I......Number 22.
1826, which paid the shipper a handsome pro*”
it, when Parliament deemed it nocessarv to pro
tect their possessions in lira East, and Wo.-.t In
dies, by increasing the duty on American cas
tor oil, which is uow equal to one dollar and
sixty cents per gallon; and even under these
disadvantages, it wilt pay a profit to the shipper.'
It is supposed that thp consumption of caxior
oil in the United States, on the most moderate
calculation, is about one thousaNd barrels, or
thirty thousand gallons a year. The crop of
the last season will not, from the best informs- ;
lion, exceed two hundred barrels, or six tliou«
sand gallons. This great deficiency is owing
entirely to tho low price the article* had ftllen
to tho year previous, when the crop was mure
than fifteen hundred barrels. Another striking
proof of tho resources of our country.”
This, Mr. Haile insisted, would be a most
healthful duty. • It would have a tendency, by
gratifying the south and the west, to remove
some of the constipations which had been rnju*
ifested in this debate. Indivo, could with no
propriety, be stigmatized as “blue ruin;’’and
tho introduction of it into tho bill, side by sido
with the minimum*, would have a happy influ
ence in giving a beautiful blue tinge (o tht
neighboring woollens.

Retreat, Laurent County, April 28, 1828.
Sir—The Agricultural Society of Savannah
placed my nnnra on their list as an honorary
member of thoir association. I have been an
unprofitable member hitherto, hut now offer
something for their consideration that may b«
useful
In my rambles in Louisnnia, in 1811, I par
took of tho kind hospitalities of Agricola Fusi-
tear, Esq. an extensive planter of Atakappas. .
His plantation was in excellent order, and tho
machinery of tho best in their several kinds,
in going oyer his grounds we spoke of indigo; •
and he shewed mo his indigo works, which had
been long since abandoned for the Cotton
Gin. The machinery for manufacturing indigo
was so superior to the clumsy kind formerly
used in Georgia and Carolina, that I asked his
permission to measure and mako a drawing of
it,supposing that, at some fuluro time, Indigo
might again became n fashionable branch df our.
agriculture. The timo has come round .when
it is prudent to diversity our stnplo articles; and
indigo claims our regard ns it did formerly, ax
a valuable plant for cultivation. I therefore
encloso to you for tho consideration of the So-
ctoty, n copy of my rough draft, with the neces
sary references, explanatory, which will enable.
a cunning workman to coustruct such . ma
chines. ” .
The injury sustained by th$ labourers in
churning the indigo by the old method, had heed.’
long felt aud coinpiaiued of. .. Verer, a. native
of Louisanin, invented this change in the abpar-.
atus, whereby the labourers sustain tio injury
from breathing in an atmosphere so dis-ox-
ygenated as that which surrounds tho vast during 1
the churning part of the process.
It will readily be perceived, that two or more
sets of vats may be worked at tho same time,
by one cog wheel. : vV
I know nothing of the process in making in r .,
digo, but Mr. Fusilear informed mo ihat. they
caused tho indigo to sqttle by adding in the vat
the juice of a plant called Mauve, a kind
lo w, which creeps along the surface of the ground
—the juice is tastekss and vicious. It is a
plant rather common, near, every settlement.
Accept my good wishes that tho labouA of

We find'in a late European Journal, the fol
lowing account of the actual Turkish Sorer-
•iff";
The reigning Sultan, Mahmoud II, was bor*
in 1785 ; descends in adirecflinefrom Osman
I, founder of the dynasty; and is of the eigh
teenth generation. Ho is the thirtieth sovera
ign of the raca that now reigns over the Turks,
and has for his sole heir Prince Abdul Humid,
who was born in 1813. Of these thirty Sul
tans, one died a prisoner in a foreign land, one
fell on the field of buttle, and nine wore assas
sinated by their successors and rebels. Tho i
present Sultan is an extremely active mao,
who orders and directs every thing him
self. , •' ' • ; ;>7
New. Washing Machine.—We were invited,
a day or two since, to view a Washing Machine,
hew exhibiting at Mr. Pcnsr.’s, in Liberty,
street; the model of which was brought from
England, last fall, by n gentleman of ini* city,
who had witnessed the expedition and excel
lence, with wlijch this dissgrecablo part, of do.
mcstic labor is performed. The Machine--is
very simple, and not liablo to get out of order.
\Y r o were informed that eight dozen pieces of
clothing could lie well washed through the first
water, in twenty minutes, and thut too, with less
labor than is required on half a dozen pieces
in the usual mode by hand. The friction be
ing light, it is sjtid the clothes are not liable to
injury, as in the ordinary process.

Lahottr Saving Machine.—The Automaton

prising piece of mechanisnv--The Boston Dai

saving of labour, lime, and skill, which may be
devoted to more proper employment, if the me*,
