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.

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.

I The following address was consequently issued On tlie subject of making a proper selection of members to composo tbo Convention, the Enqui rer remarks: " In exercising this solemn and sublime act oi sovereignly; an act, which so peculiarly dihiiu- gulsbestbe Republic of the L'nilod State* from lire nation* of the other hemisphere ; in laying tire foundation* of « government, which is to watch over their dearest interests und those of their pos- leiitv, d is earnestly hoped tlmt tlie citizens of Vir ginia will approacli their labours with tlie calmness and enlightened spirit which is due to tlie impor tance of the occasion. They have no ordinary Legislature to elect, of 315 members—But a ac- lect Council of their ablest men. It is to be hoped tlmt they will place in requisition the most usclul talents and the profoondcst wisdom of the Com monwealth ; that they will scout down uli the or dinary arts'll' cauvns-in ■ and solicitation ; and that the people will make their own selections, w ith- i out regard to the overtures and importunities )f professed candidates for tl.eir suffrages. If their own county does not furnish a suitable re presentative. why should they not look into the next county, lor one nt adequate qualifications : — We hazard nothing in saying, tlmt if there ever was an occasion fm parting nil petty considerate mm and county vanity underfoot, now is the time, and this is the occasion" Thc operation ol the Tariff of 1828 begins to he seriously f 1 It at the North,'particularly hy the ship ping interest, aud hopes arc entertuinrd of its mo dification hy the neyt thuigress.

What effect it is to produce is not easily foreseen.— Whits', the subject w as under discussion ut Co lumbia, it was n matter ot much remark among the friends of the American System. 8ince the re 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.
