The West India Trade and the Opposition.—Th*

gotiation hy the presses opposed to Gen. J,irk on, nmkea
it frequently necessary lor (lie frauds of the admit is
(ration to go hack to first elements, nmi to demonstrate
anew, tlie plainest ptopositjoos. Tlie same men, who
supported and vindicated Mr. Adams, in a large ex
penditure ol public money made for the purpose of re
gaining thi* ' trade,— who professed Implicit confidence
in the sta'esinaii-hip of Mr. Clay, when he was in
in t ttc'ing our i: h i ter at St James’ 'o persevere against
,-v-ry dt-c«tiragemet t. and indignity, and to impor*
tone tlie British Court lor the opening of negnrjalion*
which they had declared to be’peremptt rily closed, and
who have labored for two or three years to redeem th*
character of the last administration from the reproach
of having lost u« all the advantage* of the direct in
tercourse,— are now contending that it is fully to re*
gain it, that it i* better lost than won, ami that all th*
efforts ol Mcs-rs. Adams and Clay, and Gallatin, (ex*
pensive as they were and fruitier*) to achieve this ve
ry objec', proceed’d from sit- cr ignorance of the true
intere-ts ot the country. We are required in these
dayi’of a new political philosophy, to rliew why It is nof
belter to carry our produce to market, through a cir*
cuitous aud expensive route, than t»y a direct and cheap
cue;—to prove that law* are not necessary to instruct
our merchant* in the best course of trade, and the most
profitable mode of carrying on business,— and we are
asketl, why laws, proclamations and orders in roancir,
arc not required to prevent American vessel* from ru*
Ining their owners in the direct trade, when the circuit
on* one, so much preferred hy this new spc! of econo
mists, is open to them a* before. When the alphabet
of commerce lias been rehearsed to them again, and
they have h«*en made to understand, that the saving of
labor, of time, and of exp-nse.is actually a benefit to
tho community, wo are met by appeal* to pride, and
told bow undignified it is to accept of any relaxation of
Col udal laws as a furor, when it was demanded by
tlie preceding adminis'ration a* a right, and we are lec
tured upon tho proprieties ot national character. Thi*
appeal is not more fortunate than any of th* others,
and corners wi'h a very ill grace from tbo*e who sup
ported Air. Adams. It is on record, that Mr. Adaina
and Mr Clay, abandoned eve*y pretence of ‘ right,,r
anti that ih-y actually -nl'oi'ed and w■ re refused, the
term* which fieve now been obtained. Tin* solicita
tion was, notwithstanding the rebuff* rvliieh our minis
ter reeiivtd, repeated under circumstances, which
placed our Secretary o( State in a vi ry humilia'ing situ
ation. The circumstances as they appsar in tlie cor
respondence now before in, are summarily these, and
they should close the mouths of Mr. Clay’s pnriiaans
against national pride in this matter.
The act ol P.iriiainen' of 1825, as is well known, was
never reciprocated hy any correspondinp legislative art*
in tbi< country, as was contemplated by tlie terms of tho
Hriti-h act. The administration having neglected to in
terest themselves in the matter, a bill wa« introduced
on the 19th April of the next year, (1826) by General
Smith ol Maryland, for the purpose ol meeting tlie Bri
tish offer i'ul repealing the discriminating duties. Tlii*
bill was laid outlie table, at the instance of the Presi
dent, it having fie-n stated in debate, that negociation*
were pending, anil that the administi ation preferred that
course. Th* fact i«, that uegocia'ions were not pend
ing; they bail been closed by the British government,
with a resolution, that the whole matter should be set
tled hy di-tinct arts of independent legislation, of which
tlie act ol Parliament referred to, was the l-ading one
upon tlie British side. Tlie allusions to the state of Ihe
negociation* at that time, fin 1S25-C.) contained in Mr.
Gallatin’* note to Afr Canning, dated December 28th,
1826, and Air. Canning’s reply, dated January 27'.h,
1827, shew that negociatinns were not actually pending
between the countries at the time, and that the British
gov, rnment entirely disclaimed the idea.
Mr. Gallatin says—
“ The proposals made by both parties (Tilting the n«*
goriation* in tlie year 1824, were avowedly founded in*
a fair reciprocity, and brought the parties very near
together. L’nahle still to agree upon soma points,
it wa« concluded to suspend the negociation with a
distinct understanding that it should be again renewed
at some convenient day.”
To this pot lion of Mr. Gallatin’s note Mr. Canning
replipd thus :
“The undersigned is at a lo-s >o.understand on what
ground it was assumed at Washington, that thera
would he at all limes, an unabated disposition on »h« part
of the British Government, to make the trade of its
AA est India Islands ihe subject ol diplomatic arrange
ment ”
I nils it «eem«. arcornine to our Miniptors *t*taroentff,
that the negociation* hail been suspended in 1824, to bo
resumed at *oin<* "convenient day.” They had not been
renewed in 182fi, at (lie time when the hill was intro
duced into the Senate. They were not in fact resumed
until Mr. Gallatin was sent out in the latter part ol that
year; ami neatly three years afterwards when Mr. Gal
'atin undertook to resume them, ho was informed by
the British Secretary that Ihe British Government was
"at a lo*s to understand” hi* reasons for claiming to open
the negociation again !
In point of fact, therefore, there were no ncgociatione
pending, and the failure ol Congress to meet the Bri
ti h offer of 1S25, was the act of the Executive, de
feating the intention of Congress, by p'omi-ing negoria
tions which did not exist, and which were postpon
ed to a very remote period, and then failed.
When, however, negotiation* were in fart opened
bv Mr. Gallatin, in 1827, lhe«e facts were adduced by
the British diplomatists a» evidence that the American
Government had declined, or rejected the offer, and
Mr. Clay was put to very considerable difficulty in ex
plaining through Mr. Gallatin Ihe reasons for his ne
glect of the offer, in ihe course of which explanations,
the American Cabinet made a very snrrv figure. A
mong other things Mr. Clay roufessed that he had been
deceived in hi* idoa that negotiations were pending, and
that it wa* a ‘ misconception.’*
The la»t note addressed by Mr. Canning to Mr. Gal
Irtin, on this subj-ct, summed up ths chief points of
difference and contained the following significant para
graph:
"The undersigned believes that he has now toucf ed
on every topic in th«* ln«t note addressed to him by Mr.
Gallatin, to which he has not had occasion to advert ir»
lorinsr stages of their correspondence,
"Me will not alloto himself to he drawn again into
a decision of topic* already more than sufficiently de
bated.”
It was after this intimation had been tran*mited to
Mr. Clay, that he wrote his elaborate dispatch, aban
dot.ing all his pretensions, laboring to excuse bis ne
glect of the set of ’25 in every manner possible, and
pressing the British Government to grant to us again,
the term* of that act. At that time, Mr. Canning was
no longfr Secretary for Foreign Affairs, and the sub
stance of this di-patch was communicated to his succes
sor Lord Dudley, by Mr. Gallatin, on Ihe 17th day of
August 1827.
In that dispatch Mr. Clay consent# ta the Bri'ish
mode of legi-latinn, in preference to that of negociation,
upon which he had previously insisted After recount
ing some of the advantages and disadvantages of these
mod»s of arrangements he concludes thus;
"Under the influence of these ron«id*rafinn* Ihe
government of the United States acquiesces in the de
rision which has been taken by the British Govern
ment, tl it (he Colonial Trade shall be regulated only
by law ”
He attribute* the neglect ef the American Govern
ment to accept the off-rs of the art of ’25, first to the
exportation* of a negocia'ion, secondly to want of time,
thirdly *o a want ol precision in the terms of the art,
making it difficult to ascertain precisely the terms offer
ed. and lastly to a belief (hat the B ili«h Government
had either exempted, or intended to exempt the United
State* from the operation ef the restriction. All Ihese
reasons are taken tip by the British Minister*, and
shewn forth in a light, in which every American should
regret lo see exhibited ihe official paper* of the chief
functionaries of bis own government. Hi* tegref, too,
must he increased from the consciousness that they de
served it at I
We have already shewn that the expectation* of a
negotiation, entertained by Mr Clay, were unfounded,
<ml that consequently the defeat ef the hill of General
Smith through the agency of the administration,so far ns
it rested on that ground, was indefensible. The want of ^
time alleged, is certainly no good ground for apology,
inasmuch as the administration ought lo have advanced
the measures upon th»ir own responsibility long before.
Neither can we understand, how the time can be at all
material, Inasmuch a* Ihe administration would hev«
been opposed to (he hill at aoy lime.
The moat plausible ground taken was the ambiguity
