Chemical Japan Blacking Improved.
THIS preparation is put up in
small glass junk bottles, with a sponge
attached to the cork; and when applied to
Boots, Shoes, Ladies’ Morocco Shoes, Harness,
Chaise Tops, and Cavalry Trimmings, produc
es an elegant gloss without brushing. It may

consists principally in rendering the gloss so

more brilliant, or to it after it has be
come soiled.—One Bottle will last one person
a year, and for Morocco two years. Price
38 cents.
Caution.— That each Bottle be labelled
with the American coat nf arms, under which
is the following assertion : These directions be
ing adhered to, any person who will prove to the
venders that this Blacking is injurious to the
leather, may receive $ 100, and signed O. & A.

FEDERAL GOVERNMENT,
rHZRTY-THJRD YEAR.
[Whole No. 2510.
POLITICAL economy.
' • ««<*
Extract from the Message of Govern
nour Wolcott, to the Legislature of
Connecticut, at its present session.
ALL our national distrevses proceed, in
my opinion, frpm a defective system of finance,
which will, I am persuaded, more and more
weaken and impoverish the country, until it is
changed. The low rate of interest, and the
decreasing value of labour, are sure signs of
the Stagnation of every kind of active em-'
ployment; and the high prices of our publick
stocks in England, in connexion with the rate
of exchange, are infallible indications that the
representatives of our wealth are rapidly trans
ferring to that country. The produce of our
farms being refused, these transfers' are made
in payment for fabricks of wool, cotton, linen,
and metals, which our soil and our arts might
produce in abundance, not merely for home
consumption, but for the support of our com
merce, which can only revive through manu
factures, or during European wars in which we
remain neutral. The fabricks which we im
port, we yearly consume, thereby constantly
destroying the capital applied in payment, and.
leaving our accumulating debt as mortgages
upon our remaining resources.
There is now no civilized independent na
tion but ourselves which has not become a
wakened to the necessity of protecting its in
ternal industry. From the Baltick to the Me
diterranean, the effort is universal, and we
cannot, with impunity, disregard the admoni
tions which their examples inculcate. A com
parison between the condition of France and
this country win illustrate the difference be
tween wise and inefficient systems of political
economy. For more than £5 ytears, France
harassed by desolating wars—and within
five years, she was oppress- d by foreign ar
mies, excited to acts of extortion by vindic
tive resentments. Now she supports a circu
lating medium in gold and silver coins ; her
agriculture, arts and manufactures are flour
i*hing ; her commerce is reviving, and both
excite the jealousy of her neighbours and ri
vals ; h»T revenue exceeds her expenditures,
and her taxes are diminishing. Excepting the
short period of the last war, we have enjoyed
peace, and for most of the time have supposed
ourselves to be prosperous; but the acquish
tions of which we have boasted, for twenty
years, have vanished, or are invested in un
productive property, which is daily diminish
ing in value. Our industry is becoming lan
guid ; our currency consists of notes which,
are representatives of our debts due to banks ;
even usury is less profitable than heretofore ;
our national debt exceeds what it did when
Die present government was first organized,
including the debt of the revolutionary war,
and the State debts which were then assumed,
while our revenue is unequal to our annual
expenses, on the most reduced establishment
which we <ian make.
No man will deny that this contrast is true,
or affirm that it is too highly coloured ; and I
deem it my indispensable duty to present it to
your consideration, in consequence of the un
expected crisis at which our affairs have ar
rived. Congress are exclusively vested with
powers to regulate commerce with foreign na
tions and between the States, and yet find
themselves unable to adopt regulations which
would protect those industrious pursuits of
the people, to which they were invited during
a period of great difficulty and danger. For
want of uniform laws on the subject of bank
ruptcy, and in consequence of decisions in the
Supreme Court of the United States, local
frauds can be committed with impunity, and
yet no man, whatever may have been his pre
vious character and conduct, can, on the sur
render of all his property, be discharged from
liability for his debts. Thus it has happened
practically, that the non-observance of a Con
stitution, which was designed to protect the
rights of the people of all the States, and to
harmonize all their institutions, has, in effect
suspended two of the most important powers
of government in every State—has annihilated
many branches of industry—indirectly en
couraged fraud ; and condemned great num
bers, throughout this extensive country, to
hopeless poverty and indolence.
Man in a solitary and insulated condition,
is the most defenceless and wretched being
with which we are acquainted ; but in a state
of society, and with a mind illuminated by
science, he holds dominion over the earth,
the air and the sea, and renders all nature
tributary to his ease and conduit. The an
cient allegories of Prometheus and Hercules
are illustrations of the degradations of science
and human labour, during the early ages oC
mankind, and of the subsequent effects which
were produced by their emancipation and
united energy. These effects survive in the
literature, histories and monuments of the
microscopick republicks of Greece, as proofs
of the elevation which free states may attain
by concord, while their ruins are admonitory
tokens of the fatal consequences of disunion
and faction. It is a law of human nature,
that man never can exert his powers to the
injury of his associates, without harm to him
self. Selfishness is never profitable.
The preceding observations are not made
under the influence of any suspicion that the
interests of this state have been particularly
neglected, or that injuries to us are meditat
ed from any quarter : on the contraiy, I be
lieve that we have no reason to be dissatisfied
with our relative condition, and that ’ there ia
no state in the union to which our citizens can
migrate, with any prospect of advantage.—
We, at least, are not perplexed with contro
versies arising from any supposed opposition of
interests between different occupations and*
professions. Our agriculture, commerce and
manufactures are equally doptessed, an<l we
perceive that no branch of industry can flour
ish, but in consequence of events and meas
ures, which will be beneficial to every em-
