HISTORY OF iHE COTTON GIN. F, in tlie memoir ol the life of Mi. VV.iit ney we now quote s .mw par graphs showing the results of this improvement to the in ventor. •’ln the year 1812. Mr. W. made appli cation to Congress for the renew il of his patent for ihe cotton gin. In his memorial,, he presented a history of the s rugeies he| had been forced to encounter in defence of; bis right, observing that he had been unable to nb ain any decision oh the merits of his el Aim -Until h* hid been eleven years in tlie ! law, and thirteen years of his |,a‘ent term bad cxpiied. He as f >r,h, 'hat bi< ioven finu had been a source of opulence u> ihous- I ands of the ci of the U. S’ates; that, 1 as a labor saving machine, it would enable one man to perform the work of a thousand me ; and that it furnishes to the whole fami.y of mankind, at a very cheap rate, the most essential article of their clothing 1 Hence, he humbly conceived himself entit l'd to a further remuneration from hia coun- 1 Ty and though he ought to b” admitted to' 1 a mors lib ral parncipation wi'h his fellow 1 cit'z ■ sin ihe benefi*s of his invention. A ; - 1 (hough so great advantages had been already ' experii-nc. d, and the pr spect of future benefits was so promising, s ill, many of 1 those whose interest had baeo most promo- ' ;i ed. and the value of whose pmperiy had 1 been most enhanced by this invention, had ! obstinately persis ed' in refusing to make any compensation to the inventor. The very men whose wealth had been acquired t»x the use «f this machine and w.io had grown rich beyond all former example, had combined their exertions to prev hi the pa-j teote- (mm deriving any Emolument from! 1 his invention. Fom that State in which he 1 ha t 6 st made and where he had firs' io-;i troituced his machine,and w icu had derived 1 th - roost signal benefi s f om it, be had‘ re ceived no'htng; and ' m no state had he 1 received the amount of half a cent pr pound on the cotion cleai.il w h his ma*hiuet iuj one year. Gstiina'ii g the value of the labor 1 of me man at twenty cents per day, the who e amount which had been received by! hm for his invention, was rot equal to ihe! v due ol (he abor -aved in one hour, by his' i machines then in use in the Lulled States. I* i ois invention, ( ie pro eeds) now gives to ih*’ sou hern s c ion of the ifition, over and; above the profi's which would b • derived from the cultivation of any oihef crop, "sir «'«olum?nt of at iaast three millions oj dollars'* The f Tegmt.gstatement d >es ooi n-s, oq co j elm,—ii <« B 0 voluntary | speculation—ali those advaat *g'*s have been Tea'nsb; the planters of the sou hern sta es hsva counted the cash, felt the weight of i> in iheir pocke*s, and heard the exnilarini sound of its collision. N t do the advait I ’lgi's slop here: this, immense sou cc of 'wealth is but jut; beginning to be opened.’ Cotton is am.re cleanly and healthful ar-! "cl*- f cul’ivition than tobacco and indigo, which i haa suiierneded, and does not so much imp i verishthe" soil. This invention bas already trebled the value of 'h ; land JuP ,«gti a great ex'ent of terfitoryj ,| ie ‘ degr.exto which the cultivation of cotton! ■.nay be still augmented, isa'together incal-l cu able. This species of cotton fma been! k'uwo ioall countries where coUon hid b* n raised, from time immemorial, but was never known as an article of commerce, un til since this mediuil of cleaning it w.*s dis-j c vered. In short, (o quite the' languago; ot Judge J mnso i.Jif we should asl'n that: she. benrfl's of tins inve 'ion exceed one hundnd millions ’f dollars, we can prove the assertion by correct cakuU ion. "It it objected that if the patente- succeeds ini procuring the renewal of his patent, ha will! be too rich. There is no probahiliiy that the' patentee, if the terms of his patent were extended fur tw nty years, would everob- 1 ;*i aid■ ft his iuven'ion one hilf as much as : many an individual will gain by the use of it. Up to the present time, the whol# a ! mount of what he haa acquired from this , source, (after deducing his expenses,) d ;«s not exceed one half the sum which a single' i individual has gained by the use of the m«-, chine in one year. It is rue that conside i ruble suras hav** been ob ained from some of the States where the machine is used; bu' n " small portion of these sums have been ex-' jpen.led in procuring his claim in a S ate! | where nothing has been obtained, and where ibis michine bas been used te the greatest advantage, | " Tour memoralist ha* not besn able to discover any reas, n why he. as well as mtlier* is not enli led so share the ben ft s of bis own I abut s, H • who speculates upuni , he mirkets, and axes advantage of the ne cessities of others, and by these raea..s ac jcumulates property, is called"? rain ol l»o:erpiise”—'• a man of business”—he is cnmjiliinTiled for his taleira, and is pro jeced by the laws. He however only gets into hi- possession, that which was before in ihe p .-sessi m 0 f another; he adds nothing t# Ih# public stock ; and can he who has > given thousands to others, be thought un t reasonable, il he asks one in reiur. r ** I' is to be remembered, that the pursuit of wealth by means of new inventions, is a i vers precarious ai d uncertain one ; —t lot tery where there are many thousand blanks Ito■ ne prise. Os all the various attempts at improvements there is probably not more i han one in five hundred for whiJi a patent is taken out, and of all the patemi taken out, not one iu twenty has yielded a net profit to (he patentee equal to (he amount of the patent fees, iu cases where a useful and valuable invention is brought into ope ration, the reward ought tu be in proportion to the hazard of (he puisuit. The patent law has now been in opera ion mure than fourteen years. Many sui t for damage* have been instituted against those who have infringed the right of patentees ; and it is a fact, that very rarely has the patentees ever recovered.' If you would hold out m ducemen a for men,uf real talent* to engage in these pursuits, your rewards must be stir* and substantial. Men of this description can calculate, and will know how to appre ciate. the recompence which they are to re ceive for their labors.--ts the encourage ment held out be specious and delusive, the discerning will discover the fallacy, and will despise it : the week and visionary only will be decoyed by it, and you, patent office wilt be filled with rubbish. The numbc. of those who succeed in bringing into operaiion real ly useful and important, improvements, al ways has been, and always must be, very small. It is not probable that this number can ever be as great as one in a hundred thousand. It is therefore impossible that they can ever erert upon the community an uhdue influence. There is, on the con trary, much probability and danger that their rights will be trampled on by the many.” Notwithstanding these cogent arguments, the application was rejected bv Congress. Sumo liberal minded and enlihghtened men from the cotton dis ricts, favored the peti-. tion ; but a mj trifj of the in- mbers from* that s< ctiou of the Union, were warmly opposed to granting it. * in a coi respondeuce with the late Mr. R hurt Fu ton, on the same subject. Mr, Whitney observes aa follows ; The difficu lties with which I h ve had u> contend have originated, principally, in the want of a disposition in mankind to do justice. My invention was new and distinct from every othei ; it stood alone. It was not inter— wov n with any thing before k mwn ; and item seldom happen that an invention or imp ovemeot is s> strongly m rked, and jean be so clearly and specifically .deutified i artel I have aUvays believed hat I should have bad no difficulty in causing my right* to b- respected, if it had been Jess valuable, and been usrd only by a small poniou of the community.
