Should such be the happy fruits of our delibe rations, we may felicitate ourselves upon havisgl been members of this body—we may well rejoice, 1 that it will afford anew and gratifying proof ol i the value of our government. j The experience of the late war had furnished ; illustrious evidence of its ability, to carry ns glo riously and triumphantly, through a perilous! struggle with the most powerful nation on earth. This would shew its happy aptitudes tor a time of peace : It would shew that public opinion, en lightened by information, and guided liy justice, will stamp its impress upon the legislative coun cils of the country. That its every form and pres sure will he exhibited in the acts of that Legisla ture, dispensing equal rights to each portion of the community, and causing every wave oi dis content, which disturbs the repose of the society, to subside and settle down into the profound calm of perfect contentment. .

This • to the patronage of our good M aconites and the citizens of the adjacent conn . ties; for which we of the Tyt’S, should hold them in grateful remembrance. Free Trade Convention. After a font day’s session distinguished for its moderation, intelligence and patriotism, this high ly interesting assemblage adjourned sine die, on Friday the 7th inst. We have published the pro ceedings up to that period, ineluding the Address of the Convention to the People of the U- Suites. A committee of “ one person for cadi of the Stat.es represented,” has been appointed, in apeord wee with a resolution from M{- Berrien, “ to prepare a memorial to Congress, to collect facts illustra tive; of the-operation of the present system of du ties, and to urge on Congress the adoption of a more liberal policy.” Before this resolution was adopted, an amendment from Mr. Shorter was inserted,“makingit the duty of the Committee to shew that ;he present tariff is more oppressive to the poor than to tho rvA.” Mr. U.ARftot-R’s address, on retiring from the Chair, cannot fail of making a favorable and feel ing impression upon every patriotic mind—-it is neat, chaste, and full of pathos. Well has he said, that he “ persuades himself, that ottr coun trymen will listen with respectful attention to the c&tnplainU of theixbrethren; and that Congress 100, their and our representatives aud servants, will not turn a deaf ear to a remonstrance, coming . M S from a quarter, and supported hy a voice to which even the proudest monarch on an European throne, would feel it to he his duty to vouchsafe an atten hearing.” From the memorial which "is to he be presented to Congress, we anticipate an array of facts and argatnoat, which will place the odious fea tures of the subject fo such bold relief, as must render itnext to impossible for that body to con tinue the operation of a measure,so unconstitution al in its inception, ami ruinous in its tendency. The Address-to tit* People of the United States (which is -said to be from the pen of" Mr. Berrien, wait the Exception of single paragraph,) will also operate a salutary influence. The sophisti cal argument that the Tariff has had a tendency to cheapen cotton fabrics and ether manufactures, ie shorn of r.J speciousness, and triumphantly ex ploded- The real cause of a reduction in manu factured articles is properly attributed : and llte fact, that were it not for the present onorous sys tem of duties, a still greater reduction would en sue, is fully established. Let the planter, the j.iuereliatit, the mechanic, the ship-builder* nia- I tardy reflect upon this Address—let "theta read it. and read it over again and again—let them get it by heart, and pin it to their memories. Let them do this—and they will be convinced, that they have been made lire dupes and vassals of a manu- IV I tiring monopoly, which is rapidly eating out their substance and praying upon their vftals, like tlfe fabled vultures thattorraevated Prometheus, We cannot close this article without again re ferring to the patriotic aud dignified character of the Convention. The slanderous assertions of its enemies have been falsified—the obstacles which an untiring cupidity heaped in their way, have been surmounted, and they will return to the bo som of their constituents, bailed by the grateful plaudit of “ Well done, good and faithful servants. In our areals, hereafter, those toe, who have par ticipated in the deliberations of this Convention, “Will stand a tip-toe when this day is named, Ami yearly on riic vigU, feast their friends.” They carry <!ac day ! lit Charleston, SC.

The Merchant's Late Book. —Mr. Hunt, of Philadelphia, has recently published a vol ume, which wc think liktdy to be very use ful to men of business, ami therefore promises to be '.veil received by them.

The volume is entitled “The Merchant's Rate Hook ; —being a treatise on the law of Account Render, At tachment, Bailments, Bills of Exchange, and Promissory Notes, Cartiers, Insur'd rice against Fire, I/ctters of Credit, Partnership, Princi pal and Agent, Stoppage in Transitu, &c.” The suhjects treated of in this volume are il lustrated by numerous judicial decisions, and are therefore prevented in such a way ns to claim full confidence. The book is, fts wc i are informed in the tide, .page, designed ex f press!-.- for the use of the merchants of t|ic I United States.
