1 I'.rnn'.ir;; >.i hi;, Ni'v, I:*.— 1 n the Town Hall
i n Saliinl.ii last, was held a meeting of the pimple of
ITeJorieksburg, !''alinoilth"and the aJi fimtig eountry.
for (he purpose of inqrniing into the policy of cslab
hshiitg Manufactories at the mils of the ll ip;..thnu-;
nock.
On motion of Vliiliji Thorl'in, Thi s. Seddnti was '
called to the t ‘hail anu »Vsn. I-’. Gray appointed Sectc
tarv.
Mi. Harrison, then rose to explain the object of the
tntiding;. He exposed the error of those economists i
who would persuade Virginia that, a; slave labor is less
prointablc than tree labor, she, being a slave-holding
,state, could not enter into competition with the North,
and ought not thcrefiie, to nttrnipt the establish
ment of matmfactorip*. lie said ihnt, having (he
slaves, it nas desirable to apply them to the greatest
I possible advantage—and that at the present prices ol
grain, they were properly estimated utterly valueless 1
1 —that our usual production falls far shoit of our con -
sumption. and that a very large portion of our income
f is sent abroad for manufactures.
.Asa remedy for these evil; he suggested, (hit ire
drool I manufacture for ourselves— from which the
following advantages tvotj'd flow: a part of that labor
now expended in agriculture would be more profita
bly employed—the women now almost usclc-.s on a
• arm or plantation, and children, heretofore idle con
iumers, might he advantagcmidv engages!. That a-:
we lessen ll;o sum of agricultural labor, in the samel
portion do we increase the product of tlr.tf sort of
labor—that the number of persons abstracted from the
cultivation ot the soil, docs not tlmiini-dt the consump
tion of grain or of any thing else that the cultivator can
bring into market, and by lessening the rpiantity pro
duced wo enhance its price and increase the value of
land and slaves, thus directly hone fit ting the farmer
uid planter, whilst lie is again indirectly hcuciittcd bs
the increased*activity of business generally, consc
-pient upon stopping the influx of so enormous a sum as
lias been hcictolorc annually bent abroad for manu
facturer.
lie then proceeded to illustrate the benefit to he de
rived trom the proposed establishment, by collating our
condition with those places at which the Systran lias
been adopted, lie gave a sketch ol the prosperity of
ceitain manufacturing trims in the North. He shew
cd that where seme five or six years ago, l he strok .■* of
><•« woouuiar: . axe nail never been heard. busy and
flourishing villages now greeted f|„. eye <>l the aston
•’bed and delighted traveller—anti that where misera
bly-* villages late with diMiculty contrived to exist, proud
cities now reared their stately domes, and shot their
glittering spires toward the shy.
AH this had been done by manufacture?, and why
should not we go and do likewise.'—-we to whom nature
has been - ) tm-naringly honutifiil—we, situated it the
| highest point'd navigation of a nohlc river affording
. ilinoil boundless water power—why, said .Mr. If shall
f not we avail ourselves of the e incalculable advantages,
and re cite ourselves from impending and otherwise u:i
, avoidable runt'
Coi. Storrow then addressed (he meeting. Tie ro=c\
he said, for the purpose of pressing upon the attention
ot the as-icmblv some points on which i\lr. llartwon
had not, he thu’t, suiiicienlly dwelt. I»c begged leave
to slate that the time had been when the labors of the
agriculturist in Va. were richly rewarded; but that
tune had gone by—the Str-dtH of wealth which then
poured in upon the state was imp-’Jed by artificial
causes—it grew out of the then condition o.' JTurope.
to which the pages of history present no parallel, and
which will riot in all probabil ty again occur. The
garnei s of 1-duropc yawned to receive our gain. ?iow,
however, tiiis extraordinary slate of things had ceased
to exist, and ivith it had expired our prosperity.
lie said that communities like individuals were fast
approaching bankruptcy, when their expenses excee
ded their income. Such v. toe case of Virginui, and
it was the duty of every patriot to look aromtu L'.-.l
for sumo means Ly which ti e absolute rtiiti now s!arin»
| <»? in th3 face urgl.t be avoided. Tl.e establishment
• of Ylanufactures rjcjcnted the only imaginable means
by which fais ..'c-c;.i-ra«uui could be gained.
To the -it, ho sail!, that although they might not
!»e eusiLIe oi any iicncfit directly accruing :j then:
vet lei* ; :ii->peritv of any conuniiuity m-cessaii
U extended its eoi.'.r-niog influence to every individu
; al member of that eomir.unify.
V/e regret that ns neither uf these gentiomen spoke
hum notes, .ve are unable to give to the public more
than the preceding meagre sketch of their reasoning,
for which we have been obliged to re!v on our own
very imperfect memory—'having been so negligent as
not to take a single note at the time.
f’ol. Stonow concluded hisvety neat and forcible:
ad Iress by pn-. ni:r •; tome resoiulions which were
adopted iHSis. c.ui. and which we should have been glad
to publish tor tl:o benefit of other parts of the stair, but
that a gend .ii..n t > whom they were lent for perusal,

distant, alone, was met hr a runaway negro fellow,
taken from iirr horse, carried about paces from tlie '

The deceased was about fifteen years of a^e, in the
fid! bloom of youth and beauty; and has left a diseon
sola'e mother and brother to lament her untimely fair.
