and that, in proceeding to the election of a Gover

appointed to take the name.-; that this had conti
nued until eighty-one dozen, imd signed, viz : so-

impossible, from the immense concourse of pen-
pie, to conclude this operation within ‘34 hours.—
It was thon urged that the time was precious, him!
that the citizens ought to occupy themselves in
maintaining the public order. A proposition wsS
then made, that those who wished that Goa. La

their hats in tho right hand ; and imnvxiiately the

SATURDAY, KKliRU VI; Y ‘21, 1829
After u long struggle, a hill has finally passed
both brunches of thu Legislature <>i Virginia I
callu Convention for the pur;*)-* of fiinning
new Constitution for the Stan*,. The Convention
is to meet in tho City of Richmond ou tin- 1st
October next, and the uctv Constitution to lie sub
mitted to the puople. at the general election in the
Spring of 1 330—it u majority declare tot its ra
tification, the Lxecutive are to call together the
Legislature lor the last tiuie under llm present
Constitution, to put tho uew Goverument into
opc ration.
The apprehension of having ulferu^ous made in
our Constitution, which might not he agreeable to
the great body of the people, has Ijeea wo believe
tha principal reason for opposing the call ol a Con
vention in this State. Bat where the act* uf tho
Convention are to be submitted to the people, und
approved by them before they beoomo oporativ
as provided lor iu Virginia, this objection loses Its
mrid, in constructing breakwaters, Ac. drc. II
preferred upon the w hole, to wait until the great
Jubilee of Tiiriffexemption; und lie preferred to
let no man out of tue halier until lie should have
united his exertions to liberate (lie u hole.
Mr Sprague, who is n close reasoner and no
loubtable man, probably at the head of the New-
England Delegation in the House, contended for
the broad doctrine of freedom from taxation to e-
ry extent which the just requisitions of the go
vernment would allow : that about six millions of
dollars byway ol duly was paid by the navigating
interest lor the materials which entered into the
construction of ships—and he called upon the anti
n'portion Id niii him upon principle mol in obe
dience to conslilnlionnl scni/ili s—upon the inter
nal improvement portion to join, in obedience to
their avowed doelrine«, in promoting tlie commer
cial intercourse ol the country with the. least em-
meni, and lie had hoped to unite all sides
and all parties in so just a requisition ns the libera
tion of the navigating interest. It was carried in
the House on Wednesday by a majority of ten
votes. Yesterday morning upon the question ot
the passage ot the bill, n motion was made to re
commit tho bill abolishing the duty on tonnage,
with instructions to include also the exemption ot
suit ; another moved t > add molasses, another ten,
coffee uml segar, another ;Mr. Hamilton.) w mil
ieus and iron ; und alter some, considerable discus
sion, u motion was made to lay the hill upon the
table—ayesthl, uoes 93. The Speaker voted in
the ulfirmativi—und the hill u.is accordingly laic
upon the table, where it is siqqmseil it would he
permitted to remuiu. I hope so—We Imve, there
fore, utter u burd struggle, triumphed in this in
stance.
“ l am glad to Understand that tho proceedings
of Georgia and Boutli-tlarolina in relation to tlie
Turiff have produced, it is believed, some good
effect, so fur as to induce less sneering at the “ bitl-
fip'ug” propensity of our own State purticuluily,
and perhaps a little graver consideration ol the
great question at issue. AH eyes arc turned to the
Congress of 1830 for an alteration ot the Tariff;
tti Aur titimht»n hair* prrttbly Lean tntfea*
ed hy three millions in the same period. Hnd
the foreign demand continued, our exporta
tion of hrentl-Btuft's would probably have a*
mounted to $ 26,000,000. The only reme
dy for this, aavs tho author of tho report, ia
to diveraify tlie pursuits nf the farmer, and
substitute domestic productions for foreign
supplies. It appears that in the Inst seven
years the aggregate amount of silks import
ed into the United States was upwards of
$ 60,000,000, of which wero re-exported
not mere than $ 12.893^58, leaving lor tlie
home market $37,202,789, being nti average
annual consumption of silk to tho amount of
$ .%323,214. But this is only the amount
at invoice prices. The actual amount used
hv the consumer in that period, nt the pri
ces lie pays, wits $ 62,880.819, being un it
versgo nnniral value of $ 8,982,974. To
purchase these silks would require 8.932,974
bushels of wheat, at n dollar a bushel.
Tho value of tho single article of raw silk
would he annually, it is to lie presumed, ii
bout $ 4.4(11,487 ; the subsistence of itic ma
nufacturers about $2,245,743; the total,
namely, $6,737,230, would constitute the
annual value of this market to the agricul
ture of the United Slates—Here, continues
the report, is a domestic mnrket for silk of
nearly double the value of all the foreign
markets t'or our bread sintl's One acre of
full grown mulberry trees will produce
$200 worth of silk ; but it would require
mti acres ol’ first rate land to produce the
same value of wheat. Neither is there any
'Oinparison iu the quantity uml quality of
the labour required ; the most robust labour
being necessary for tlie one, while women
nd children are competent to the business
f producing the other.
Tire rapacity of the country for the growth
of silk cannot be doubted, says Mr. M. The
smtnhlemias of its soil mill climate is indie
putable. It bus been cultivate I in Virginia
and Georgia, and wus abandoned only on
account of tlie superior protitalilennss of to
bacco &. cotton. In Connecticut five small
towns produced in one season nearly two
tons ami a half of raw silk, valued, nt a low
cash price, at $21,188. Of this tho town
of Mansfield, with a population, of 2,500
souls, product d 2.430 pounds. This silk is
converted into beautiful sewing silk nnd o-
tlmr valuable manufactures. The mulberry
tree may lie cultivated in every pari of the
Union, ns it nourishes us high as the latitude

sult of I hose deliberations lias been known, there
has been a profound silence observed ; this indu
ces a presumption that it w III not he eu'irely disre
garded. The protest from thu State ol Gc rgi.i,
when presented by their Senators, met with no op
position, incurred no remarks, excited no siMile.-.
All of which have heretofore been practised u-
guijist us on like occasions.''
Revolutions in tlio American States are
so frequent as scarcely to excite surprise. We
bad scarcely learnt the particulars of tlie subver
sion of the Republic of Mexico, before n o hear of
tlie overthrow of that of Buenos Acres. The peo
ple of those countries, apparently incapable of
self-government, have perhaps gained untiling hy
throwing off their dependence on Spain—as h per
manent government of any kind is preferable to
state of anarchy, or to those Ireqiieut changes, sp|-
dom accomplished without bloodshed, wh oh aie
effected by the predominance of the military ov
the civil authorities. Our happy lot, of enjoying
freedom and repose after a long and sanguinary
w ar with the Mother Country, appears to be deni
ed to Ihe Spanish Americans by the unfortunate
condition of that people, w ho seem not to possess
enough of virtue, and inlell.gence to establish tree
governments uf any permanence.

Extract of a tetter from our Corresjmnilei.l, doled,
Washington, February 5, 1839.
“On Wednesday morning a very interesting de
bate arose between Mr. Gii.mbb, of Georgia, and
Mr. SpriAOOK, of Maine, in the progress ot which,
I could not but remark the characteristic zeal, ani
mation, and warmth of the southern clime, in strik
ing contrast with the cold calculation, and appa
rent frigidity of a northern region. The question
wui/ whether die- duty upon tounaye should be.
The following is a fine picture of Wash-
ingi*n iu liie rMirnmeut—it is from hi* own
lettera:
“I am just beginning to experience the
ease and freedom from public cares, which,
however desirable, it takes some time to re
alize; for, strange a* it may seem, it is ne-
vertheleas true, that it was not until lately I
could get tire better of tny usual cti»iorn of
ruminating, a* soon as I awoke in the morn
ing. on the business of the ensiling day ; and
of my surprise on finding, nfier revolving
many things in my mind, Hint I was no Ion
ger a public man, or had any thing to do
with public transactions. I feel ns I con
ceive a wearied traveller must do, who, af
ter trending many a painful step, with n Irea-
vy burden on In* shoulders, is eased of thr;
latter, liaving reached tho haven to which
nil tho former wero directed, aud from his
house top, is looking hark, and tracing with
un eager eye the meanders hy which ho es
raped lire quicksands arid mires which lay
iu his way. and into which none hut the ull-
powerl'ul Guide uml Dispenser of human
eve»ts could have prevented lira falling. 1
have become a private citizen nn the banks
of the Potomac; and under tho shadow ol
my own vine and my oiva fig-tree, free from
the bustle of a camp and the huay scenes ol
public life. I am solacing uiyself with those
tranquil enjoyments of which the soldier,
who is ever in pursuit of fame—the states
man, whose watchful day* aud sleepless
nights me »peni in devising schemas to pro
mote the welfare of his own, perhaps the
rum of other countries, as if this globe was
ineutiir.ient for us all—and the courtier, who
is nlways watching the oounieuauce of his
prince, in tli.o hope of rutchiug a gracious
smile—cun have very little conception. I
have tiol^Hily retired from all public employ
tnenif, but uni retiring within myself, und
slinll be able to view the solitary wulk, und
tread the paths of private life, wilb heart
felt satisfaction. Envious of none, 1 inn
determined to be pleased w ith all; and this,
my dear friend, being the order of tny
march, I will move gently down tire stream
of life until 1 sleep with my fathers.”
