There can lw no 'hazard of ultimate loss by carrying nnnufactures to a certain extent, propor tioned to the demands of the country.— Escourngemeiit will thus ho given to the colsuntption of our staple in every thing to which the use of it may he ndapted.— Until we shall lie aide to resort to lalior savitg methods of operation, domestic induttry in the ordinary way, should he inatlt to Atrnish our supplies, as much ns posshle. By this system, especially if ai ded l»y more simple and economical ha bits if living, we shall lie enabled the hot ter to struggle against the current of ad versity with which we are threatened. If a (ttir price cannot lie obtained for our sta ple in a crude state, on, ~..ij • *»•».»•««. to maimfliclure d, and send the surplus to the-lioint and Rirotgn murkeis. If tnanu- facturss urn profitable to any, why may they not be made profitable to us, who have I^lior which we may advantageously employ in this way, and who can receive the rmv material immediately from the grower without the addition of any nd- ventitrus charge. 1 am inclined to be lieve it will be found in experience, that slave jttlior will prove extremely well n- d.iptel to manufactures. It coil he per fectly commanded, and reliance upon it will lie subject to fewer disappointments, tlmn usually happen in voluntary l.-tlmr There must he less embarrassing collision between the proprietors and the work men, and several causes will combine to render the entire cost of the labor com paratively less. The Tariff, indeed, for ces us into manufactures before the coun try has progressed to that state at which they usually take their rise, hut consider ing th'‘ circumstances of our peculiar sit uation, and the fluctuating incidents of that trade of which our staple composes tho commodity, our being forced into ear ly manufactures may not operate to our ultimate disadvantage It will enable us to sell the raw material at n fair price, ot to obtain a fair price for it, by converting it into manufactured articles. We shall become ourselves, in any ease of necessi ty, the competitors of those who would otherwise have u monopoly in our trade. It will place us in an attitude, in which we can, without much inconvenience, advance or recede. The tariff, which threatens us with great embarrassment, cannot liuve tho merit of proving benefi cial to the great family of the Union.— It forces us to enter into premature com petition with those of our fellow-citizens iu other states, who, without manufactures cannot increase greuliy in population or wealth, l’erhaps those who are in favor if the tariff, might be disposed to excuse is, even if we should not feci much soli- -•ilude io tiie bUo.-vi.) ,»riIjuid liuuiuess, nml ndeeil great ruiie.ern seems not to have been manifested iu a matter involving vi tal mierefts to us. Time, which tests all tilings, will soon discover the hearing of this measure. In the meanwhile wo must be wanting itt energy, but use the meuns of self-preservation which lie within our reach. 1 would therefore respectfully re commend public encouragement to the manufacture of cotton unit woollen fabrics, by the loan of money, the taking of shares, n temporary bounty upon the operation, or by such oilier and more suitable methods ns the wisdom of the General Assembly may devise. By this, and the other expe dients proposed, we sltnll do lor our own preservation, every thing which depends exclusively upon ourselves. We have a rigiit to expect, when we can justly claim it, a favorable interposition oil the purl of the government of the United States. If the measure can be shewn to be unjust, unequal, oppressive, impolitic, unconstitu tional ; if it increases the prosperity of a portion of our citizens, by a correspond ent subduction from the labor of others; if it arrays manufactures against the agri- cultureofnny portion of the country, when they ought to proceed in harmonious uud auxiliary, co-operation ; if it will subject the industry of one part, to the arbitrary nnd interested arbitrament of another; if it will exclude from a profitable intercourse with other countries, by committing to the discretion of a tnouopoly in our own; if it will disturb the harmony of the Union, by nlartning the necessary and patriotic sen timeiits of self preservation; if it will wea ken the conviction that the common go vernment cannot cease to be equal, just, uud paternal; if it will soon bring tbe ex ciseman, or gatherer of direct tuxes to eve ry door; if it will lesson the confidence of safety which is felt under the a;gis of the Federal Constitution : if it he only produc tive of a portion of these or other evils ; or if the honest apprehension of them he such) us no lorto Ot* roofiOnlll^ Cttll rKIUUVe, we have a right to expect a speedy inter position from the justice uud policy of the government of tho United States. These subjects furnish abundant materials for a free but temperate memorial to Congress, nnd impose u duty which the representa tives of the people will not lie inclined to omit. It is our privilege to speak out nttr grievances, and it is the duty of the General Government to hear and redress them. With regard to the principles in s olved in the Tariff, both of constitutional law nnd sound policy, we may doubtless with safety confide in the ordinary means of redress under the constitution. There cannot he cause to fear that the represen tative principle will prove insufficient to obtain all just rights in such cases, and a reliance on the moral nnd political justice of tbe Union, ought not to be easily sha ken. An unwise measure, unequal, un-' just, and unconstitutional, the frailty of man may occasionally suffer to pasa; but cun such a measure ubitle the touch of con* tinuul scrutiny, or can it continue to resist the influence of moral and political justice in tbe hearts of our Brethren ? Surely in in other States of the Union. It proha lily will have a material influence in check ing- our prosperity, unless we promptly tu'ail ourselves of every means within our reach to obviate or lessen its injurious consequences. It may not be prolitabl here, touse terms of harshness and re probation ill regard to this measure wliicl it may justly deserve, hut to consider it a thing which exists, nt least under the forms oftlie constitution which must he coun teracted in all its bad tendencies on our prosperity, while it continues to exist, and which must be removed as soon as possi ble, in the ordinary and irregular wuy prescribed by our federal institutions.— That every country should encouruge, to a certain extent, its own internal resour ces, consists with a wise, just and liberal policy. Tins ensures u more abundant supply in the general market of all na tions, nnd guards particular communities against occasional difficulties in procur curing essential articles, or tbe enhanced & unreasonable price which would be con sequent on n supply short of the pressing demand, lint this encouragement may lie carried so far ns to prove nioro injuri ous tlmn useful, nml hence the proper de gree of it, lias occupied tho wisdom of politicians and political economists in eve ry age. It would seem to he n plain dic tate of reason, if it be not also continued by experience, that it ought not to be car ried so far ns to exclude general aud ac tive intercourse with other nations. Eve ry country is able to ntltl something to the general stock of convenience and pros perity, and in n just and natural prnpor tion, imparts ami receives the advantages resulting from mutual intercourse. “ The Great Author of all, to whom the happiness of every country aud of every nation is alike the object of heneficient toncern, scents to have ordained, end to tuve pointed out iu tlic general tirrnngn- tiu nts of nature, that the maximum of happiness is lo he acquired liy the iiberai communication of mankind with each other. The means of this neees«iiry com munication, are amply provided: for o- cettns are made to roll, and rivers to flow, that men might have the opportunity to assist euob other, liy the exchange of the various productions, which all have some peculiar facility to acquire, resulting either from nature or from art. The principle of selfishness, cherished by individuals or nations, is not likilv to result in perma nent advantages, if it be suited to uuy condition of the human family, it must lie to that rude and barbarous stale, in which the impulses of the passions are strong, the exercises of reason circumscribed, the sense of justice unimproved and precari ous. llllt IU till I’c-i't-nl coiulitiitii of thu civilized world, whatever delightful vi- sions'of insulated Ifcippineps any theoretic politician may lie disposed to indulge, it will probably he found by experience, that entire independence on the resources of other nations, excluding intercourse with them, is not desirable if it could be ut mined, and not likely to benefit any peo ple, either in the facilities of living, or the improvement of the moral uml intellectu al power. The just point seems to lie, to carry encouragement so far ns to prevent too inneli dependence on others, and to operate ns n source of constant and health ful competition beneficial to till parties. But general reasonings aside, there is a peculiarity in our situation which renders this measure of fearful importance, nml makes it well calculated to nwnkcn the most reasonable anxiety. The staple pro duction of the State, the article on which almost all our labor is bestowed is placed in nil attitude so doubtful, that it is impos sible with nny certuinty to calculate its future value. Nor is our situation less precarious in the purchase of those ar ticles which arc of indispensible necessi ty to us. It must he considered a matter of absolute certnimy that the toriff will affect in n material degree the price of our staple production. The Tariff impos ed amounts to a virtual prohibition, anti those with whom we have heretofore dealt in the raw material, and received in return their mannfactured articles, will cease the purchase of the material from us, because the purchase will have become disadvantageous to them. A market will besought where the material may he pur chased with the manufactured article.— We shall therefore be left to the borne market,cherished so much at our expense, nnd not subjected to competition from nny quarter; in which situation we may rea sonably expect the usual consequences of dealing nt the mercy of parties interested. There is no security in such a dependent and degraded condition, for the apprehen sion of interest will always prove stronger than the sense of iusticp. or dictate of li berality. We shall be forced to buy the manufactured article which we need, ami sell the raw material on which rests nil our hopes of profit, tit the prices which others may presctilic, without our being able to interpose nny competition or re straint. We shall be exposed to a double monopoly in tbe purchase and the sale.— Tbe most obvious, and indeed tho only re medy which depends exclusively on us, is o commence manufacturing ourselves,— We raise the raw material, and I believe we have the means to manufacture it to advantage. A portion of the sluvo popu lation may tljus be profitable employed, which are" at present not efficient in the severe labors of the farm. Many who are now an expense to their proprietors, would prove to be useful operators iu a manufac turing establishment. Employment would also he afforded to needy and indigent persons, who could not derive equal profit or convenience from ordinary labor. Cot ton, and perhaps wool factories to a cer tain extent, wool ! prove highly beneficial to all, while the present uncertain state of our past experience we have had no reason to conclude, that the moral integrity of the Union, tfthicli in fuct constitutes our Inst nml host hope, has heroine ttltogathor ex tinguished ; ami that unrestrained selfish ness, in violation of every principle of moral and political honesty, is permitted, or will Im permitted to continue to influ- oneo tho measures of government. Al though this erroneous impression is far from us, and from our sister state* alike affected, still vve claim u dispassionate ex position of erior, nnd would submit tem perate remonstrance when our rights or interests tire injuriously nffected. In a re view oftlie course here recommended, we cannot lie hlamod by our fellow-citizens for taking care of ourielves; it cannot he strange that we should remonstrate, ami seek to repeal a measure which is, as ws conceive, injurious to all, and we cannot but obtain the approbation of nil wise and good men, when we do all this in a way not to disturb the harmony «>• me utmufi — —inmuai .ii.nn.t exacerba tion inconsistent with the liberal prosecu tion of our common affairs. If the har mony oftlie Union should be subjected to temporary interruption, a tiling which is designed hy none, and which the good sense of the nation would not easily per mit, let it ever be the boast of Alabama, that neither in manner, or iu mutter did she contribute to it.” FROM THS N. V. COURIER. THE TURKS. Extract from the Journal of an Officer of the United States' JYnvy. Public opinion is so much ’ngainst the Turks, tliut it will be considered it pre sumption on my part to attempt to say nny tiling in their favor. They uro con sidered hy the generality of the world, who never perhups took tho trouble of fully enquiring into their character,) to be the most hurhnrous mid cold blooded people living; nnd that this was once my own opinion, 1 am willing to allow. But having spent the last two yenrs of my life amongst them, I feel myself able to spenk in a more favorable light of their character tlmn many others, who, either from prejudice or fubhion, have pronoun ced them to be the vilest of the vile. That the Turks are, when their passions are n- rousotl, violent and unfeeling I will allow —nml wluit men are not? But they are near as cruel ns tyrant prejudice would make them, 1 deny. The greatest objec tion that we have to them, is that they are Infidels—that they do not believe the same doctrine that we do; therefore they ought to be exterpnted from tho fuce of the globe ! But yet I defy nny one to sny that they do not believe in ono Great and Supreme Being. They do not, ns many persons say, beliove Mahomet to be their God, but only consider him ns their Proph et, who is to intercede for anti watch over thriri. In their dealings, they are the most honorable people in the world, and you rumint insult them more than doubt ing their word. Their treatment of stran gers is always marked by a frankness nnd hospitality seldom met with in the most enlightened countries; and it may with propriety lie remarked, that if you treat them well, it will iio fully reciprocated. It has been remarked by several wri ters, that the Turks trent their wives as slaves, mid consider them only made to do the drudgery and work, while the men loll on Ottomans or smoke their pipes at the Coffee-house. This is untrue. No people pay greater respect to the sex than they do. It has also been said that the majority of them have a plurality of wives. This is also n mistaken idea. I have ta ken particular pains to inquire into this, and I found thnt there wus scarcely ail in stance in Smyrna of a Turk’s having more than one wife. The Turks are brave in the extreme, mid when aroused to an ger, undoubtedly unfeeling ; but when treuied with respect nnd attention, they are kind, attentive and generous. They seem to possess more nobleness of soul than any other class of people. I have heard olficers of almost every nation say that when they left home, their good par ents had instilled into them notions very prejudicial to the Turkish character; hut when they became acquainted wiih them, instead of Blinking them such wretches ns they had been described, tiieir charac ter anil manners were subjects of udtni- ation. Mahomed, the present ruler of the Ot toman empire, wns born July 20,1785, nnd has consequently attained his forty-third year, lie ascended the throne July 88, 1808, nt the age of twenty-three. Ilis ti tles are—Most puissant unit highest Mon arch of the Turks: King above all Kings: a King that dwelleth upon the edVtlily Paradise; Bon of Mahomet; Keeper of the Gruve of the Christian Gon ; Lord of the Tree cf Life anil of the River Flisky ; 1’rior of the earthly Paradise ; Conqueror jf the itiaceuuui-M-r Alexander ; Prince of the kingdoms of Partary, Mesopotamia, Medea, and all the martial Mamelukes, Anatolia, Bytfiiniu, Asia, Armenia, Servia, Thrucia, Morea, Walachia, Moldavia, uud of all wurlike Hungary; Sovereign Lord and Command er of all Greece, Persia, both of the Arn- bins, the most noble kingdon of Egypt, Trcm'isei), und the African empire of Tre- hisontl nnd the most glorious Constantino ple ; Lord of all ibe White antlBIm k Sens, of the holy cities of Meccn and Medina, shining with divine glory ; Commander of nil things that are to he commanded, nnd the strongest nnd mightiest Champion of the wide world; a warrior appointed by Heaven in the edge of tbe sword, n perse cutor of his enemies, a most perfect Jew el oftlie blessed Tree. The foregoing titles were first used hy the Sultan Osman, and have been continued by bis successors.— Osriinn was slain by tbe Janissaries in 1023, whom he wished to reduce, in con sequence of his having lost 100.4^)0 horses and 80,000 men, through their cowardice, in un expedition against Poland.

NEATNESS. Exirncl from nil Address before the Hartford County Agricultural Society, by tlu Rev. C A. Goodrich With little more than an allusion (• ano ther subject, I will relieve your putiencu —I mean''Iks want of attention to neatness and order about many of our farm houses. New-England bus many points of,ad vantage : hut in respect to neatness and order about her vdlnges and farms, she contrasts badly with other countries.— Englishmen who visit ns are disgusted with the appearance of our villages, lor in their own land, (hey are accustomed to see them adorned by the hand of system and taste. Let us look to tliis point then. Neat ness and order are enjoined not only by economy, but hy comfort. Every-sloven- ly farmer resigns one of the choicest plea sures within his reach, that of seeitig bin house and home surrounded hy the marks of neatness, industry, and taste. Ilehrings up his family amidst confusion, and pre sents to his children nn example of negli gence the most unpardonable.—Can he wonder if they follow this example?— They will go further.--In tlu-ir very par tialities, they will huve n Vicious prefer enee for what just taste, good sense and sound economy condemned. They will rqgr-4 with less respect the decencies of lilW'ftnd be more like to abandon the path ftfeanmg „ < J"s?n. , 5?f a Ji , Jfe .There is much vance of which, let me urge as u remedy for every degree of the evil I ndvert to— “Have a place for every thing, nnd keep every thing in its place.” In the language of a veneruted man, now gone to a better world.— Let order o’er your time preside, And method all yonr liiisiiiet* guide, ttne tiling at once, lie Still begun. Cotitrive’d, resolve d, pursued nnd done i Ne’er till to-morrow s light delay, What might as well be done to day.

Advice.—A nobleumn in Ayrshire has tho following very proper advice placed over his kitchen fire in largo letters:— “Neither wuste nor want”—Sir Walter Scott has placed the same useful advice over the same place, in his kitchen nt Ab botsford, but has adopted the more em phatic nnd more classical words of Miss Edgeworth—“Waste not, want not.” [Edinburgh Journal.
