This, however, is not the course of trade or of business. But from whence would the profits come! Not from foreign countries, for no change is to occur there, but from the pockets of every consumer of foreign goods in this country, for the change is wholly in the wages and produce of our own country.

The idea is that if wages and property sink to the rights of the great mass of the People, who acquire their support by labor, and whose interests, as lying at the basis of prosperity, 1 have at all times and on all fitting occasions espoused and maintained with whatever of ability I possess. In this, sir, I have taken great and sincere satisfaction, believing it to be the great end of our fiee Government, and the only sure means of sustaining it.

The committee, Mr Campbell stated, were divided in opinion. Four of the members were for reporting one thing, and four for reporting anoth- the American plant was growing to perfection. In order to point out the differences which existed between the various sorts of cotton in use, a diagram was exhibited, showing the various lengths of the fibres of different kinds. In many specimens of cotton, the fibre had a tape-like appearance; while in others it looked like a string of oval beads, inted at each extremity.

Some idea of the extreme minuteness of the fibre of cotton might bo formed by tho fact, that it requires 35 fibres to make the smallest thread spun at Manchester, 350 hanks of which weighed only one pound, and would measure 165 miles in length.

If property in foreign countries should descend in the same ratio, the most that could be said of our condition is that it is no worse, for it is obvious'y no better.

This great bank, with a perpetual charter, which has been a special favorite of the Administration, tit Washington, has recently got into trouble. A committee of Directors was appointed to investigate its condition; that committee made two reports, in the first of which we find the following paragraph 14 Your committee, while duly considering the Virginia Legislature and the Banks. The Virginia House of Delegates has passed a bill, by the large vote of 70 to 41, without reference to party lines, repealing the act which declares that the Banks of Virginia shall forfeit their charter by suspending specie payments; staying proceedings on executions, trust deeds and other demands in case of refusal to receive bank notes in payment, until the first day of April, 1841, at which date a resumption must take place; directing that the notes of the non-specie paying banks in Vir for they have no necessary connections, but each to the importer is fallacious; and as the notion of may exist independent of the other.

I go a reduction is founded on it, that is also fallacious To follow out the case I have supposed: The-income of every man, except the exporter, is to be reduced one-half in the value of wages and property, while all foreign merchandise will cost the same, which will obviously, in effect, double the price, as it will take twice the amount of labor, or twice, the amount of the products of labor, to pur ask him if excess is any thing more than ginia shall continue to be received in payment of an occasional occurrence, growing out of markets quickened into activity by events rather casual than permanent! Is there any excess of paper in circumstances under which these loans were mostly made, and at a time when this institution had so large an amount of public money, and when they were urged by the Secretary of the Treasury to loan out that moneys and that in ordinary times auch loans have always been found an available resource to meet heavy and unexpected demands either from the Government or other heavy deposi taxes and debts due to the commonwealth; and that the state deposits shall continue to be made in the Banks of Virginia, with permission to the banks to make dividends not exceeding six per cent, during their suspension; thus in effect legal the usual course of business, from sound banks ed we had escaped.

I do not ascribe this power to the bill, but it is enough for me that its friends do. What response will the farmers, mechanics, manufacturers, and laborers make to such a flagitious proposition! (Jan they be reconciled to such a measure of oppression? one that extorts from them the fruits of their industry to professedly enrich the planter who now enjoys a prosperity unequalled in the rest of the country! No sir, such plans of sectional aggrandizement, and such a disregard of the interests of the greatest and most powerful class of people in our country, can only excite who redeem, and are able to redeem, their paper at sight, dollar for dollar, in metal! It is not easy to see how excess ever exists under such circumstances. I can go to-day into any bank in Boston or New York, and draw out a dollar with the same amount of paper, and that dollar is as good and will buy as much, in France or Germany as any dollar there. The paper, then, is clearly worth as much as the silver, for it buys it. If the paper of banks is maintained at this value, and so redeemed at all times, it is not easy to comprehend how it is inflated, or that more is in circulation than is needed for use.

The census of the United States, to be taken during the present year, will be upon a more comprehensive plan than usual.

Hitherto it has been customary to enumerate the inhabitants only, under the several classifications of sexes, ages, colors, By the late act of Congress, for taking the census of 1840, the President of the United States was directed to cause the statistics of the country, relating to Agriculture, Manufactures, Mines, Commerce, to be collected, and also statistical information in reference to Education. The next census therefore will exhibit not only the amount of our population, but also a complete schedule of the aggregate property of the nation, ranged under different heads, and presenting at one view an accurate estimate of the vast resources ofthe United States, in all the various departments of industry, and including the numerous items of national wealth. Interrogatories, adapted to elicit information on all the topics embraced in the new plan, have been prepared to serve as formulas of statistical tab'es.

Thus, sir, I have traced the benefits of this bill, if it have any, as interpreted by its friends, to the rich and powerful.

The Senator from Pennsylvania seems to understand that reducing the circulation will reduce property and wages in the same ratio. If it does, in what is our condition bettered.even if we could re-cincile to it, who would be ruined! He seems to believe that our relations in foreign trade will be improved, but I shall show him his error, and that he ought to arrive at exactly the opposite conclusion, for this theory, if carried into execution, would inflict upon the laborer as well as the owner of propeity the most injurious and oppressive consequences. He solemnly affirms, and I give him all credit for sincerity, that he believes a reduction in wages and property would be beneficial. Let us see. Suppose that wages and property will be reduced one-half by the bill that is, if wages are now a dollar a day, they will be half a dollar; and if beef and mutton are now eight cents a pound, Gas Pipes Dispensed with.

In Vienna, at present, according to a simple and perfectly secure method invented by Derionet, gas is conveyed in hermetically sealed bags, on carriages constructed for the purpose, from the manufactory to all parts of the town, daily by which the expense of laying down pipes in the street is avoided, and the article supplied to the city at a proportionably reduced rate. This plan would offer immense advantages to the companies in London and other large manufacturing cities, by saving the great cost of their miles of pipe, and the immense expense of supplying the gas to each house.

Down it will down it must, by the laws of trade, come to a level with the fall of other productions. And what will be gained by the whole process! Nothing; absolutely nothing, except that it will take more of our labor and more of our productions to buy foreign merchandise; our gain will turn literally into a loss. This is capable, I think, of demonstration, if it does not already sufficiently appear; but I have no time to enlarge, interesting and all-important as the subject is.

One of the principal objects of this paper was to show that the people of Hindos-tan are as capable of furnishing Europe with Cotton, as the inhabitants of North America; and that, under proper arrangements, both the quantity and quality of their produce, would fully suffice for all requirements of our manufacturers, without the necessity of our relying on the slave labor Cotton of America.

The paper began with a calculation of the quantity of Cotton actually used in dress by the natives of India. Specimens of several articles of costume were eihibited; and it was shown that the dress of the male Hindoo contained 24 square yards, and that of the female, 8 square yards, which, allowing that they were lenewed, on an average, at least once a year, the consumption would amount, among the whole population, to 374,000,000 pounds; and it might be fairly inferred, from the various other domestic uses to which Cotton was applied in India, that as much again was so employed, making a total annual consumption by the natives themselves of 750,000,000 pounds. The quantity imported into England, is from 4 to 500,000,000 pounds annually; and this is chiefly raised in America, not more than one-tenth coming from India. The question naturally arises, why should this be The causes of the supply from India, Gen. Briggs stated, were closely connected with the administration of the country; he should not further allude to them that place, but would proceed to de-monstate his position, that India might supply Cot- they will be four; and so of all the productions of What motive can we have, sir, to reduce wages Vi 7 WTl 1 1 the United States, and of all property created here.

The history of the world proves nothing more certainly nothing with clearer demonstration, than that where wages are lowest there is the greatest poverty and suffering; there the condition of the laborer is most forlorn and wretched; there is the least moral and intellectual culture; and there our race is sunk into the depthsof political degradation, incapable of raising itself to that lofty elevation attained by a free, enlightened people, capable of governing their himself and family. As they will be, he will have ten dollars. Now, sir, be it remembered that we buy and sell in foreign markets by their standard of currency, and that lowering wages and property here is to have no effect there, according to the reasoning of the Senator, as their currency must regulate the price of their wages and products; but cotton is to sell and goods are to be bought as if no change had taken place.
