loflii' diminution in the expmN of tobacco ; audit

ofthnt artic le in Europe, that we can import fore ign
produce at a cheaper rate : tins setaes to .••how that
all classes of our community are interested in the
success ol ihw tobac co planter.
Il it is wished to parliculize, it can be* easily shown
that the ship-owner* in the* l/uite I .Staf-s would be
gicatlv beiielittcd bv an an 1 mentation in the export
of tobacco; tins is so palpable', I lint it requires bat
a short argument to prove its truth, to any one dis
posed to doubt its correctness. Tl*e t object uf
thtv freighting ship-ownci is to edit on a full freight
for his vessel ; eonsccpiently, tin bulkier the article,
the greater chance lie* ha ; el tilling up ins vessel ;
and d that artic’le unite s at tire same time hcavine. s
with bulk, it saves him from the extra expense of
ballast, which, m loading many uthec articles, he
finds it necessary to take, in cider to have 1 is vessel
in proper trim. Tobacco is consequently the arti
cle of our export* which unite ;, in peculiar degree,
ail those advantages ; And it therefore becomes of the
utmost importance to our .ship-owners to augment as
muc h as possible the consumption of that article in
Europe, and. by mo doing, to increase its exportation.
And we should like vise boar to mind, that if sumo
means are not found to increase its consumption in
Europe, those two great agricultural States, Virginia
and Maryland, whose laud* are peculiarly ad apted to
the cultivation of tobacco, will greatly sutler, and
many of their inhabitants v. 1 find it necessary to
seek in other quarters of our country lor laud suit
ed to the cultivation of some other artic le, proHhly
cotton; thus increasing the quantity grown of the
last named article beyond the wants of the eon; inner,
and eon » qucntly diminishing its price. Th> ’...w»
that the cotton planter is deeply interested in ti e sue
