• SPEECH OF HENRY CLAY,
Delivered nt the Mechanics’ Coll\ti"N, j
in the. \pnlhnian Garden , Cincinnati
on the 3 d aj August, 1830.
Eight toast.—Q'JFt VALUED GUEST. It is
fiia highest enlogium, that the naoie of HENRY j
CUV is inseparably associated with the best
merests of the country, as their assertor and
advocate.
When 'l)»* enthusiastic cheering which j
followed the re of this toast had sub- j
sided, Mr. Clay rose and addressed the
company as follow*
Jf/r, President and Fellow Citizens :
In rising to make the acknowledgments
which are don from me, frtr the sentiment
which his been just drank, and for the
honors which h »ve been spontaneously
rendered to me, on mv approach, and !
during my visa to this ci'y, I feel more j
ill »ii ever the inn>mpeiency of all 1 manage |
adequately to espies-the g-ateful feelings |
of my heart. Os these distinguished
Tumors, crowned lm ids thetnselvos mighi
well be proud. Flicy indeed possess a
V ilTio Inr surpassing that of any similar
testimonies which could he offered 10 ihe
chief of an absolute G ivernment. f here
they are, not n ifrequoinly, rendered by
reluct mi subjects, awed by a sense of
terror, or impelled by a spirit of servility.
II >o e, mi this land of equal law* ami equal
Jibeitv, they are presented to a private
fallow cilHßim, possessing neither office
tlor power, nor enjoying any rights or
|>i ivileges w hieh are not common to rvory
member of the community. Power could
not boy nor deter iliern. And, what con
fer* an estimable value upon them to me
—wh i« makes 'Lein alone worthy o! you
or more uccept tble to their objuct, is dial
they iito offered, not to the mao, but to
the public principles and public interests
Which you are pie tied to associate with
sis innie. On this occasion too, they
emanate from one of those great produc
tive classes which so m die mmi pillars
of public liberty and public prosperity.—
I thunk you, fellow citizens, most cordial
h,f<>r these endearing proo's of vmir

Can never be off iced, during the residue i
ol my life. I avail myself of this lasi op- '

without sword, pistol, or musket. An
other species of atttempted embarrass
ment has been practised by an individual
of this city, Aboiit <in hour before Ib f
mv lodgings for this spot, he caused a
packet to be left in mv room by a I* ll ' 6
boy ; who soon made his exit. Upon
opening it l looked at he signature, and
that vas enough for me. I' contained a
L>. cr list of interrogatories which I was
required publicly *o answer I ead only
one or two of them. Thme are some
men whose contact is po lotion. I can
recognise no right in the person in ques
tion to catechize me i can have no in
tercourse wuli ine who is a disgrace to
the gallant and generous natiwn from
which hesjnang. I cannot sloop to be
Ims interrogated by a man whose norni
naiiori to a paltry office was iej”C’,ed by
nearly 'he unanimous vote of the Sonate;
I ,nnit he excused if, when addressing mv
friends, 'he mechanics of Cincinnati, I
wili not speak from his notes. On the
renewal of the charter of the p • sent
Bank of the United States, which I be
lieve formed the subject of one or two of
these interrogatories, I will say a few
words for vmir, not his sake. I wiM ob
serve in the firsi place, that I am not in
favor of such a B ink as was rec>*.i mend
ed in the Message of the President ”1 the
United Suites it iho commencement of
'he last session of Congress ; th it, wi h
the Committee of the two Houses, I con
cur in thinking it would be an institution
of a dangerous and alarming character ;
and that, fraught a« it would be with the
most corrupting tendencies, it might be
made powerfully instrumental in ovei
lurnmg our liberties. As to the existing
bank, I think it lias been generally ad
ministered, and particularly of late years,
with great ability and integrity ; 'hat it
has fulfilled ill the reasonable expecta
tions of ih-tse who constituted it ; and,
with the same committees, I think it has
made an approximation lowardsihe equali
zation of the currency, as great as is prac
ticable. Whether the charter ought to
ho renewed or not, near six years hence,
in my judgment, is a question of expedi
ency to he decided hy the then existing
state of the country. It will be neces
siry at that tono to look carefully at the
condition both of the Bank and of the
Union. To ascertain, if the debt shall
hi the mean time he paid off, wha' effect
that will pioduce ? what will be our then
financial condition I wha' that ot local
hanks, the State of nur commerce, foreign
and domestic, as well as the concents *1
our currency generally. I on, therefore,
not now prepared to say whether the
charter ought or ought not to be renewed
mi the expiration ot its present teiiu. —
The Bank may heroine insolvent, and
hi iv hereafter forfeit all pretensions t” a
renewal. The q instion t« premature. I
•nay no' he alive t • form anv opinion up
on i'. It belongs so posterity, and if they
would have the goodness to decide for us
some of the perplex ng and practical ques
tions of the present day, wo might he ibs
posed to decide that remote quest ton for
them. As it is, it ought to be indefinite
ly postponed.

But tt is tisc’es? to dwell on tliQ afgTJ
merit in support of this beneficial system
before this audience. It will be of more
consequence here to examine some of the
objections which are still urged against it,
and the means which are proposed to sub
vert it. These objections are now prin-|
cipally confined to its operation upon the
greal staple of cotton wool, and they are
utged with most vehemence in a particular
State. If the objections are well founded,;
the system should be modified as far as it
can be consistently w ith interests in other
parts of the Uttiou. If they are not well
founded, it is to be hoped they will be fi
nally abandoned.
In approaching the subject, I have
th night it of importance to inquire wha
was the profit made upon capital employ
ed in the culture of cotton, at its present
reduced price. The result has been in
formation, hat it netts from 7 >o 18 per
cent, per annum, varying according to the
advantage <>f situation, and the degtee of
skill, judgement, and industry, applied to
the production of the article. But the
lowest ram of profit, in the scale, is more
thin ihe greatest amount which is made
mi capital employed in the farming por
tion nfthe Union.
If the cot toil planter have any just com
plaint against ti.e expediency ol the A
meri’-nn System, i : must be founded on
tite fact, iha' fie either sells less of his sta
ple nr sells a' lower -inres, or purchase
fur consumption, arti le ll at dearer rates
or of too se qualities, i t consequence <>f
ihir system, than be would do, it it dnJ
not exi-t. If he would wither sell more
of his staole, nir sell it at better prices
nor could purchase better or cheaper arti
cles for consumption, provided the |
tern did not exist, then he has no cause,
on the score of it' Inr ihensome operation, ,
to complain of th'* .>v tent, hut must look
to oilier sources lor the grievances which
he supposes -.ffi't him.
•\s respec s ;lte sale of his staple, it
would he indifferent to the planter wheth
er || ,<>rtmmi of it wis sold ttt Europe
aid he other in America, provided the
aggregate of both were equal to all that he
c mill sell in one market, if he had bm
one, and provided he coin it tnded thes me
price in both cases. The and >uble market
would indeed be- >mething better for him,
because of its greatest seco* , itv in .nn** of
war as well as ill pen o, and because H
W'ltild be attended with less peril* and
!ess charges. If there be an equal a
moun' of lie raw material maouftc u ed,
it nuts be immaterial to the co tun plan
ter, in rite sale of the article, whether
ihoie tie w . theatres of the manufacture,
one iu E nope ind ihe other m America,
nr but one nr Europe ; or i! there be a
difference, it will be in favor of the two
places fm imif tclure, instead of one, for
reas-oi already assigned, and others that
will be bet ** dtet sr ired.
It c -u!d boos no advantage to the cot
ton pi M»te., rl ail die c"tlon, now manu
factured b h in Europe and America,
was in .nut ictured exclusively in Europe,
and an amount of cot u fabrics should be
biooght back from Europe, equal to both
wliit is n>w bought troto there and what
is maiiiifact ired in In* United States to
gether Whilst In would gain nothing,
the United Sia'os would 10-t* the profit
ami t-tit doymenl resulting from tile nttn
ut .ctore of that portion which is now
wr >ug . op by iho manufacturers of the
U tied States.
Unless, therefore, it can be shown that
bv ito* teduction of impoit dudes and lie
i ..veiihrew of the Ameiican System, and
Lt\ limiting the manufaci 're of entfon 'o
Europe, a greater amount of the raw tn*-
ert il would he consumed than is al pio
srot, it t« difficult to see whit interest, so
. fat as ie*pt c’s he x tie of th it «t pie, the
; rotiou planter lias in the subversion of
nesystent. If a reductionof dudes would
o!m tot ts*'g*T Hives men's in British or
Europe in t >bi tea «and cotton, and 'heir stilt
' sequent importation into tins country, this
additional supply w <uld ake the place, it
consumed, of an equal amount of Vmer
| ic*,i manufactures, and consequently
would not augment the gen»w tl consump
tion of ihe raw material. Additional im
portation does not necessarily nn.tlx in
creased consumption, especially when it
is effected bv a police which would im
pair the ability to purelltse ind consume.
Upon the su.tp ’S't.un, j ist aiade, of a
restriction to Europe <d manufacture of
Cotton, would in >re «>r le«s • ( 'lie article
be consumed than now i* ? vlore could
noi be. unless in couseq »..ice of such a
monopoly of manufacture, Europe could
sell morn dtau she u<>w does. But to
what coon nes could she sell more ?—■
She ge's the raw irMtenal u*w unbur
tbened bv my duties etcept such m >drr
a'** ones as her policy, not likely •*' be
changed, imposes. She is enabled theie
bv to sell as much of the manufactured
»r tele a* she can find markets for in the
States within her own I tuns or in foreign
counutes. The destruction nfthe Amer
ican manufacture would not induce her to
sell cheaper, but enable her u» sell dearer,
than she now does. The ability ot these
fnreigu countries, t * purchase and con
sume, wouldn't he increased bv 'he auni
hilation of our manuf’ac ores, aad the mo
nopoly of European m inuf ieture. T:.e
probability i« thu those f irrign countiies,
bv the fact of that monopoly,
consequent increase of p r ic<*, would be
worse and dearer supple and thin ih*.'y n •
are under the operation of a c«>CD|*e»nion
between America and Europe in their
supply.
At most, ihe I'oned Sta’e*, af:er ihe
transfer from their territory to Europe >t
the entire manufacure of the article,
could not c*»nsonie ot European fabrics
fii m cotton a g eaier amount than they
now dense fr*>m Europe and from manu
factures within their own limits.
But it n confijently bel eved that the
consompnon of cotton fabrics, on the
supposition which has be**o m*de, with
in 'he United S a'es, would be a>u**h lets
than it is tt .wetetn. It would be lest
because !be Amencao consumer could oot
posse-rs ihe means er ability to bey so
much of the Curepfian fabric as he novy
does to buy the American. Europe pur
chases but little of the produce of the N"i -
them,Middle & Western regionsof the U.
States. The staple productions of those
regions are excluded from her consump
tion bv her policy or by her native sup
plies of similar productions. The effect,
therefore, of obliging the inhabitants of
those regions to depend upon the cotton
manufactures of Europe for the necessa
ry supplies of the article, would be alike
injurious io them and to the cotton grower.
They would suffer from their inability to
supply their wants, and there would be a
consequent-diminution of the consump
tion of Cotton. By the location of the
manufacture in the United States, the
quantity of cotton consumed is ncreased,
and the more numerous portion of their
inhabitants, who would not be otherwise
sufficiently supplied, are abundantly serv
ed. That this is the true state of things,
I think cannot be doubted by any reflect
ing and unprejudiced man. The esta
blishment of manufactures within the Uni
ted States, enables the manufacturer to
sell to the farmer, the mechanic, the phy
sician, the lawyer, and all who are enga
ged in other pursuits of life ; and these,
in 'heir turns, supply the maoutacturer
with subsistence, andwhat ever else his
wains require. Uuder the influence of
the protecting policy, many new towns
have been built and old ones enlarged. —
The population of these places draw their
subsistence frnm the farming interest of
the country, their fvie from our forests and
coal mines, and the raw materials fiom
which they fashion and fabricate, from
the cotton planter and the mines of our
country. These mutual exchanges, so
animating and invigorating to the industry
of the people of the United States, could
n-’t possibly be effected between Amer
ica and Europe, if the latter enjoyed the
monopoly of manufacturing.
1 1 results, therefore, that, so far as the
great Southern staple is concerned, a
g’eater quinti'v is sold and consumed,
and consequently better prices are ob
tained, undef 'lt*' operas on of the Amer
ican Svs rni, than w old be without it. —
D IPX that ay stem oblige ihe cotton plan
ter to buy dearer or worse articles of
consume ion tlia.'i he c nld purchase, it it
di l not exist ?
The same cause of American and E •-
roue.in competition, which e oihles him to
sell more of the produce of tus mdus rv.
and at bei'er prices, also enables him to
buv cheaper and better articles sot con
sumption. I' cannot be doubted that the
leniency of 'he cmiPlifi"ii bp'weeii the
European md AniPtican inannt icturei,
is to reduce the pi ice and improve the
quality of (heir r’*sppc!iv*' tabiics, whon
ever they come into collision. I his is
the immutable law of all competition. Il
the American manufacture wcie discon
tinued, Europe would then exclusively
furnish those supplies which are now de
rived from the establishments in both
Continents; and the first consequence
would lie an augmentation of the demand
bey.md the supply equal to vvlial is now
manufactured in the United Slates, but
which, in the contingency supposed,
would be wrought in Europe. 11 the
destruction of the A nerican manufactures
were sudden, there would be a sudden
and probably >a considerable rise in the
European f.b-iev Although, in the end,
they might be again reduced, if is not
likelv that the ultimate reduction of the
prices would be to such rates a* if both
the v.okshops >f America and Europe
rein tried sources of supply. I here
w mid als * be I sudden reduction in the
price of he raw naterial in consequence
of the cessation ff American demand. —
And tins reduc'i m would be permanent,

CfUßßrs, Sept. 3.
Modi feeling and atcitemeut are spread

ally that p< rtion of it, prepared, and m
daiiv waiting to remove to Arkao«as, »n
cooseqaence of a c mmunieation received
bv Col. Crowell from the President,
through tbe Secretary of W ar, dated at
Franklin, in Tenne**ee, at which place
the President was, a few weeks »mce.—
We have learned from some intelligent
Indians, to whom the purport of chi*
c mmumc *tion fr >» «he Secretary of
War, bss been made knowo by the agent
that the President direct* emigration at
ihe expense of the Government to be
•topped; withdraws hi* protec'iou
the Indians ; and will not expend one dol
lar to assist them io emigrating, unless tbe
whole nation consents to go. The Pre
*.Jeat further savs, that though ibis dn

Iy upon those fndians, who have planted
io corn, and who have no means of sup
iort if they remain another year, still he
las formed the positive resolution to hold
io further intercourse with ihem, except
hey apprise him of their wish to sell out
heb lands, and remove in a body west of
lie Mississippi.
This is the substance of the communi
cation of the President, received by the
Agent a day or two since at the Creek
Agencv, near this place. The above
iiatement of facts in relation to the Creek
tation, may be relied on as substantially
correct.
We learn also, that Maj. Wager, com

NEW-YORK, AUG. 31. j
Two Days Later from Europe.
London papers to the 20th, and Liver
pool to the 21st. of July, both inclusive,
have been received by the Editors of the j
Commercial Advertiser. London and
Liverpool papers one day later (the 21 s'
*nd 22d) luve been received at Boston.
The Liverpool Cotton market was j
steady on 'he 21st, but there had been less j
demand for the article since the 18. h.
Sales on the 19'h, 2000 bales; 20th,
500 do; 21si, 2500 do. There was also
less demand for Flour. I' is recorded on
Merchants' Hall books, that Cotton was
advancing, and Flour was declining ; and
lettere of the last date, we understand,
confirm this statement.
Ainong our extracts below, the reader
will find a singular document, copied from
it Paris paper, and said to have been
drawn tip and signed at Tilsit. Accord

Algiers had been retolved upon bv Na
poleon. The remaining Napoleonists in
Franee, insist on the retention ot Algiers,
will find new ground for argument in the
publication of tlt is treaty. Fite Liberals
also will find it convenient, as they do not
weigh with nicety the character ol their
urgumems.

Kean took leave ot the London stage,

lung before they were opened, and seve

France and the Elections.— Tho late

the government ot the Fourth W illtant
organized—and the Lurks, Mints, amt
Arabs of Algiers subjected to the arms ol
France—the next European topic of in

and tho result* of the Elections. These
results continue as unpropiti’uis as evei
for the Ministry. Up to the date of the
last advices, 333 Deputies had been ele<
ted, and 47 remained f«»» the last batch.
Ol these 333 there a*e 243 who are un
doubtedly opposed to lit** ptesetH Royal

for the Minister, there are onlv "tie hun
dred and forty Ministerial. Here, tlieo,
is a majority of 103. Os the forty-seven j
remaining to be elected, give thirty of j
them to the Minister, aud take seventeen!

the liberal votes are made up of the rab

thirty years of age, and who does n«t pay

dollars per annum. The fact is therefore
unquestionable, that there is a strong ten

France an/i Algiers —The latest intel
ligence received a: Pans from Algiers is
dated the 7h. Tne F'eneh Government
bad received positive information that the
treasures found at Algiers would pay be
expenses of the war. Il was understood
that the regency would be given up to the
Porte, on condition that ihe Sultan enga
ged fer the supnre«t«r» ©f piracy, and
changed the Governor every four year#
at least. It was not believed in the high
est political circles that there was any
question of a colony.
It had been officially announced that
1500 pieces of\ artillery in bronze, more
than 30 ships —such as frigates, corsairs,
&c.—the arsenals of war and the marine,
provided with arms and munitions, and
55,000,000 of francs fell into the hands of
the French forces at Algiers. The great
est tranquility reigned in the city of Al
giers at the last accounts, and the most
cot dial friendship existed between the
French and the inhabitants; the latter
treated their conquerers as liberatois, and
so considered them. The Algerines had
estimated their loss at upwards of 10 000
men, killed and wounded ; and that of the
French, in killed, wounded, or disabled
from various causes, was compu.ed at be
tween 4000 and 5000—of the number of
the killed and severely wounded amount
ed to about 1200.
The appointments of Gen. Bourmont
to be Marshal of France, and of Admiral
Duperre to a Peerage, are announced in
the Patis Moniteur.
“The Capitulation of Algiers only in
cludes tbe Dey and the inhabitants ; no
mention is made of the Garrison. The
Turkish troops, as well as the Moorish
and Arabian, have gone to the other side
of the river El-Harasch, which disem
bogues itself imo the bay of Algiers, to
the south-east. They have taken up ft
position, and formed an extensive camp..
It is not yet known whether they intend
to continue hostilites. A division and a
half had been detached towards this point
under die command of Liot. General
Bei thezene.
“We have received the Estafette of
Algiers which gives the following interest
ing account of the interview which took
place between General Bourmont and the
Dey of Algiers. M. Bourmont was tire
person that entered the palace of the-
Dev, and was received bv his Highness;
with great composure :
“ ‘1 am come to ask you for an apart
ment,’ said the Commander-in-Chief; to
which the Dey replied, ‘General, my pal
lace, as well us the citv, are yours, since
you have been the victor; you may dis
jiose of them a* yon please ; but I request
of you a couple of hours to remove the
furniture, which is my property.’ ‘Tike
all the time you please, and all the effects
you may requite.’ 'Two horns will suf
fice,’ answered the Dey. Accordingly,
in that short time the whole of the Dev’s
furnitme was conveyed to a private house,
and M. B”«rni”iit, with tin* whole of his
stuff, was seitled in the palace. ‘Shall I
be siifo iu tho town V asked the Dey.—
‘Yes', hot you would do better to retire
to France or England.’ The Dey paced
the apartment and made n*. reply. Alter
a moment's silonrn, Hussein uttered « to*"
words—‘l governed without fear and 4
abdicate in the same manner.’ He tl'<*n r
attar taking off' hts loyal garments, retired
•o a privatp dwelling, and he is now to be
seen walking about the town and mingling
with the ctowd.**

The people of t lorida have powerful
interests at stake, in the policy that may
be hereafter put sued. They have pur
chased lands at n price which can only
bo sustained by the successful culture ot
Sugar, and it need not he mentioned, that
this depends moasurenbly on protection.
