Penitsntiary Escape—A criminal pa
med Abraham Poteet succeeded in making
his escape ftotn tbo Maryland Penitentiary
about midnight of Ibe 19ib inpt. We-learn
that for somo time past he had been placed
with another criminal io'ono of the cells, afv
ter the conclusion of the daily labor. Not
withstanding tbe careful examination which
Poteot and his fellow prisoner underwent ev
ery day, in common with ail the convicts,
previous to retiring to their rooms for the
night, they nevertheless contrived to conceal
a coup'o of knives and small iron hooks a
bout their persons, and to convey then; to
to their cell Wi'b these they commenced
an aperture in the outer woil of the cell, ou
a lino with the door; and when they led the
cell for the day, they arranged the bed a
gainst the wall in such a manner that no ap
poaraoccs of their design were visible. By
dint of hard labor they removed the mortar
from around the bricks successively,, and in
the course of three nights they thiw made a
hole of about nine inches square, through «
wall twenty seven inches thick. Through
this aperture Poteet forced himself fcot fore
most, and made his escape, ilia accomplice
attempted to follow him, but when he was a
bout three fourths through he could proceed
no further,and being completely wedgad fast,
?as unablo to return into the cell- Io
predicament, therefore, with his head io
the cell and bis legs protecting outwards from

for help, and was finally drawn in by tbe aid

Advice to Farmers.—If the farriers of
the grain growing states wish to extend the
market for their flour, grain, and other ag
ricultural productions, now is the moment
for accomplishing the object. The cotton
and woollen manufactories whioh were hold
up to them as affording an unlimited home
mat ket for all they could produoe, it now
appears, can no longer afford to give em-
oymont even to the comparatively few who
»ave heretofore been supported by them.—
Instead therefore of being benefited by their
agency, the farmers will find thousands of
bands falling back upon agriculturo, and t
can now no longer be disputed, that all the
power of manufactories to multiply consu
mers of agricultural produce, has been ex
hausted. To foreign commerce, and to
foreign commerce alone, must so enlarged
market bo looked for. The farmers are al
ways sure of the home market. Of that they
cannot be deprived; and if they wish to in
crease the number of thoir customers, they
must go and find them abroad. Ono single
ship with ao assorted cargo of flour, beef.
)ork, lard, butler, Sic. adequate to feed one
lundred persons for a year, performs the
same service to agriculture, as if she impor
ted one hundred consumers. Now, as fao
lories do not, eyrn according to the tariffites.
confer upon labourers the power to eat, but
meroly the power to cat more than they used
lo do, (which by the bye we wholly deny,) it
is very clear, that one ship creatoa more
consumers than a factory which employs a
hundred hand* independent oftbe seamen nod
others who carry on tho trade. To say that
fr reign nations will not buy our agricultural
jroductions is idlo. By a wise policy, we
tavo it in our power to double our exports in
a very few years. We have already made
one advance towards the adoption of the prin
ciples of free trade,by a reduction of the duty
on wines. Let us at once diminish the du
ties on foreign cotton and woollen manufac
Hires, coffee, sugar, spirits, salt, iron, teas,
& the various other products which enter so
largely into the consumption oftho labouring
people, and by having a judicious tariff\ one
that regards revenue, and not an unjust tax-
f one portion of the people, for the ben
efit of another, we shall behold the country
prosper in a degree little dreamt of by the
politicians and empirics, who ore desirous of
elevating themselves upon the oppression of
the people. The inhabitants of the West In
dies and other countries can.raise vastly more
of tbe productions appropriate to their par
ticular climate and circumstances, than they
now raise, which they omit to do, for tbo
same reason, that our fanners do not raise as
much flour and other products as they can
raise, namely the want of demand But it is
our government which has restricted the ex
lent of the interchange. It is our goverment
which says, we will not buy. It is our go
vernment which says, we tbiok tbo fewer ex
changes we make, the better. Otherwise,
why should we impose a duty upon the coffee
and sugar of Brazil, per example, of 75 to 90
per coot, when she imposes upon our pro
duclioo8 only 15 ? or why should we impose
a duty upon British fabrics’of 25 to 200 per
cent, when upon cotton, an article she ie wil
ling to (ako from us, to any extent that we
are willing to buy from her, she imposes
but six per cent ? Let our farmers ponder on
hC8e things. The duty they pay on coffee
s .five cents par pound, upon sugar three
cents per pound, upon salt 20 cents per bmh*
el, which is nearly or quite equal to the first
cost. A reduction of these duties, down'to
a moderate revonue scale, such a scrIb as
will support tho government, after the public
debt shall have been paid off, would increase
their comforts by diminishing the prices of
those articles to two thirds the present price,
or less, and at the same timo increase the
foreign demand for their produce, for just in
proportion os wo are willing to buy of other
leoplc, they will be wijjing to buy of us Id
ike manner, a reduction of tho duty on iron
and clothing, would save them the enormous
tax they pay of at least ^30 per ton, for the
exclusive benefit of a few iron masters, and
of 50 to 200 per cent on the cost of co’ton &
woolen cloths, for tbe benefit of the manufac
Hirers
The difference between a direct and an indv
red Tax.—It a tax-gatherer should dolibo
rately walk ioto Iho house of a Pennsylvanian
and after ascertaining from him that he con
sinned in a year five hundred weight of iron
in plough Bhares, horse shoes, spades, shovels
hoes, harrows, nails, binges, axes, wedges
crow bars, wagon, cart, and carriage tire,
bolts, hooks, chains, hammers, saws, and
other tools and implements, should demand of
Inm seven dollars aud a half as a direct tax
for the privilege of using those articles, the
farmer would be almost tempted lo insult the
collector, and abuse the congress which &u
thorised such a tax. But this same farmdr
has no objections to pay such a sum without
a murmur, iu the form of a duty, to be collect
ed. not for the benefit of the government, but
to go into tho pocket ot *ome wealthy iron
master, who is only enabled to carry on «
losing trade by compelling all his fellow citi
zens to contribute towards making up bis loss.
This is called protection to tbe iron trade —
The time onre was when a member of con
Kress from this elate, would reflect well be
fore he gave a vote that should impose a duty
of ten per cent, upon a singln nail of a horse
shoe; and now, he thinks nothing of taxing
his constituents one hundred per cent upon
the cost of iron in Europe, on every article
of that metal which they use on their farms-
Pennsylvania does not pay less than one mil
lion of dollars per annum, for the iron con
snmed Ky her agricultural population, more
than she would have io pay if the duty waa
imposed merely for the purposes of revenue

THEY ARE NOT THERE!
They aro not there ! where once their feet
Light answer to tho music heat; nih
Whom their young voices Bwcctly breathed,
And fragrant flowera they lightly breathed.
Still flows tho nightingales sweet song;
Still trail tho vino’s green shoots along j
Still nro the sunny blossoms fair
But they who loved them are not thcro !
They nro not thcro! by the lone fount,
That once they loved at eve to haunt;
Whoro when the dny-star brightly set,
Beside the silver waves they met.
Still lightly glides the quiet stream ;
Still o’er it tails the soft moon-beam
But they who used their blisd to sharo
With loved hearts by it,(ore not there!
They aro not there! by tho dear hearth,
That onco beheld their harmless mirth 5
Where, through their joy came no vain fear
And o’er their smiles no darkening tear.
It burns not now a beacon star:
’Tis cold and fireless, as they aro;
Whero U tho glow it used to wear?
’Tis felt no morc-thoy are not thero!
Where are they, then 7—oh! past away,
Like blossoms withered in a day !
Or, as the wavosgo swiftly by,
Or, as the lightnings leave the sky.
But still thero is aland of rest;
Still bath it room for many a guort;
Still is it freo from strife and caro
And 'tis our hopo that they are there!
