It gives u pleasure lo ee the South moving in support of the productive industry of the country The following preamhle end resolutions, adopted at a meeting of the Tobacco Planters of Dinwiddie coun-ty, Virginia, on the 19th of October ultimo, are earnest in their manner and sound in doctrine. Let them be imitated by the Northern agriculturist nnd manufac-turer, and we shall soon see an eDd put to the policy of Europe by which a contribution is levied on American industry, operating as a bounty against itself, and serving to sustain the depressed industry of Europe under the grinding exactions of the privileged orders. The preamble and resolutions are as follows: "That, in conformity to the principles of our Government, we cherish and entertain towards all natiuna feelings of amity and respect, and desire a perpetuation of the same so long as they can be maintained upon Just and liberal principles : That, as a Government, we have extended the olive branch to all nations, and offered to all trade and commerce upon terms of mutual reciprocity and whilst our liberality has been Ireely accepted and extensively enjoyed, we have received, in return, comparatively little else than monopoly and exclusion : That, whilst several of the nations of Europe are literally inundating our country with their luxuries, nearly duty free, thereby poisoning our morals and enervating our constitutions. Tobacco, the most valued staple of nearly two millions of American freemen, is allowed lo be taxed in their countries from one hundred to upwards of eight hundred per cent. : Thai, whilst the powers of reason have stripped this exorbitancy of every legitimate be-is of support, it is still persisted in, regardless of its unfeeling exaction, and sought alone lo be sustained as a revenue principle: That a longer submission to so gross, palpable, and iniquitous an imposition, is incompatible with our feelings of independence, and at war with the principles of international justice: That, while in a spirit of peace we have submitted lo the odious and monopolizing Corn Laws of England, we utterly repudiate, as revolting to our aense of justice, the idea of i longer aubmission to the enormous and oppressive dutiea now imposed upon our Tobacco : Therefure, "llciolved, 1st. That we highly approve the call or a Convention of Tobacco Planters, lo assemble at Washington Cily, on the 15th of December next, and earnestly urge our sister counties 10 huiu unj tnrra and rflwnnnd 10 the Call. nd "liriolvcd, 3d. That our Representatives in Congress be instructed, and our Senators requested, to use their utmost exertions for the introduction and support of such measures as shall, in their wisdom.be deemed bert calculated to secure a speedy reduction of the duties upon Tobacco to i ratable standard with the most favored articles of foreign importation." When it is considered that this staple of the South is loaded with duties which yield a revenue to the Governments of Europe, amounting to nearly double the economical and legitimate expenditure of our National Administration, it may not be considered un reasonable that complaints are uttered. In i report prepared by Mr. Joshua Dudge, lale special agent of the United Stales to Germany, and submitted to congress last April, through Mr. Jenifer, Chairman of the elect committee on Tobacco, it is stated that Europe leviea a revenue of about $30,000,000, on about 100,000 hogsheads of American tobacco, which cost, in the United Stales, about $7,000,000. Lngland alone, leviea someting like 17,375,700 en about 18,000 hogsheads of our tobacco, in the form of du lies, excise, licenses, tie., being equal to about two thirds of the expenses of their navy, and about equal to the whole expenses of the Government of the United Statea. The complaint uttered in the preamble to theae Din- widdie resolutions, sgainst the "odious and monopolizing Corn Laws" of England, may render.a more extended notice of them, at this time, interesting. The effect of these Corn Laws ia well understood in this country, to wit, to exclude the bread stuffs of the United Stales from the markets of England, unless the price of wheat shall reach 73 shillings per qnar-ter of eight bushels, oais 31 shillings, bsrley and In dian corn 41 shillings, or, what amounts to the same thing, until they tea.-h that price they are subjected to prohibi'ury duties, but Ihe origin and object uf these laws are not so well understood by Ihe general reader. They had their rise in commercial prohibi tionaatan early day. In the reign of Richard 2l, the commerce of the English porta wae secured lo English shipping by parliamentary enactment. In 1051, during the Commonwealth, thia grant was re-enacted and extended lo the American Colonies. Afier the restoration of Ihe Sluarts, Ihe same policy was continued; and it was especially enacted that "no merchandise shall be imported into Ihe Plantaiione but in English vessels, naeigaled by Englirhmen, under penalty of forfeiture." (See Uancroft'a U. S.) Previous lo this, the principal supplies of the Colonies had been received of the Dutch; but thus early did the English government practice on llio protective system, regardless of Ihe condiiion of ihe Colonies, who were, by this set, deprived of all the benefits of competition, and forced to contribute to ihe support of the home maiine and the home commerce, almost to the total neglect of their own. Ilut this waa nut all : In 1663, it was enacted that all European commodities should be imported in English, ships, raoM England, making Englishmen factors for ill slaplce, whether of their own or foreign production. The colonists were forbidden, It the same lime, to manufacture for exportation not only, but for their own consumption, and their shipping waa prohibited from competing, even in Ihsir own waters, with English shipping. Theae acts of tyranny were for the benefit mainly of the sHtrpsa snd hsschant. Then came Iho suiurACTURin, who sought to participate in the reslrictione on the purchase of supplies, and Ihe production of rival articles. These leading interests having secured their advantages, it became necesssry to propitiate Ihe lino-holdkr, and to secure hie support of this artificial system, by permitting him to shsra in its emoluments. These "torn Lnus" began to be enacted, in order lo secure Ihe profile of capital invested In lands and agricultural monopolies sgainst the dangers of foreign Compniiion, and especially the labor of the Coloniee, untrammelled ae it waa by the burdens necesssrily imposed upon in arlstocratio England lo keep up Ihe distinctions In life, which robbed labor of half its re ward. To quiet the Colonies under the operation of Una iniqmloiia and unequal system, it was gravely en acled hy Parliament thai TuiAt-cosWii not be planted in f.nrfandend inland! And lo thia resolution the t, .,... .. uruisn i.evernmeni nsve kindly adhered ever since no tobacco is planted in Ilia United Kingdom, but ehe continues to lax it, no doubt from Ihe force of habit engendered during our colonial vassslsge, eertainly not from reciprocity, as the history of our national legislslion will shu In short, Englsnd has buill up her manufactures, and sustained her commerce and agriculture, by countervailing laws and oppresaions, all tending lo Ihe one object, to sustain Ihe home markit and Me homs industry. She broke down the manufactures of Flanders (Belgium) by her retaliatory acts and she ie now combining Europe against her manufacturing and commercial monopolies, by Ihe continuance of the same selfish policy by which Flanders provoked retaliation and reprisal. It will be the fault of America if she does not profit by the collision, and force England to modify her Corn Laws, so as to lake Ihe produce of our industry in exchange for her manufactures, or, in default of that, then we should cherish and extend the home market by the encouragement of our own manufacturers, so as more completely to make one hand wash the other or, in plain words, sustain a system by which our tobacco, cotton, pork, beef, and flour, will buy our luxuries, cotton stuffs and broadcloth.To such a policy as Ibis the South cannot object, although the duty on her staple, Tobacco, is purely of revenue, and not protection a tax on Southern labor to the amount of millions, which must forever cripple the energies and repress Ihe commerce of the South. We shall have more to say on thia subject. It ia fruitful of instruction. To the South, the adjustment of these questions ia of immense importance. A slight increased burden on Cotton, another of the great staples of the country, would reduce the value of slave labor to a nominal point. Thia should be guarded againsl; for let it be understood as the true American policy, that all interests are to be sustained on their true merits. The blood must circulate freely from the heart to Ihe extremities, or sound health in nationa is not lo be expected any more than in individuals. STATE PRINTING. The Statesman of yesterday puts some queries to the Journal, upon this subject, but in a manner so far from exhibiting any " appearance of candor," that we almost fear replying to them would be a "casting of pearla before swine." However, as the whole scope of his article evinces either a misunderstanding of our argument, or a wilful blindness to ita force, we will, in charity, attempt an elucidation. We say, then, that it ia not "the object of this coon akin Legislature to reduce Ihe uiagee of labori" hut it is their object to reduce the burthens of the People by lopping off all unnecessary expenses. And our article from which Ihe Statesmsn quotes we conceive to be so clear upon this point, that no one whose eyes were not dazzled by the glittering of " gold" in prospect, or blinded by gazing at his own bright ideal creations of "coon skins," could fail to perceive the ground we took, which was this: That the price per thousand cms on wrtuary work, waa sufficiently low; but that there was a Urge amount of unnecessary work done, and which should, in justice lo the People, be dispensed with. The Statesman haa been loud in professing principles which work Ihe greatest good lo ihe greateat number, and against advantages to the few at the expense of Ihe many; and yel, so aoonas it is proposed to lessen ihe amount of public work the profits of which fall to his lot, by dispensing with what is unneceusry, he cries out " Persecution !" We say, Away wilh sue Democracy ! We go for reducing ihe burthens of the People, and the patronage of the Government, State and National, within the limits of actual necessity. ECONOMY IN PATRONAGE. ' When Col. Johnson waa perambulating the country, he chanced while ia Columbus to light upon a man named Durham, who kept a tavern in Attica, on the Sandusky turnpike, at which the Democratic line of slsges belonging to Mr. C. stopped. On learning all this, the heart of the good Col. waxed warm. Ha also waa told that lha Postmaster at Atlica was a Whig, and had failed to become active in securing subscribers for Ihe Extra Globe. Enough said the Whig should be removed and Durham appointed. Dut a difficulty hern atose. It was discovered thai the Member of Congress from Ihat distriot, Mr. Sweeney, hid promised the office to a Mr. Bertram, whoae brother had done the parly good aervice in the Poet office ai Marion. How waa this to be arranged 1 The subject was referred lo a eommilee on ctnscience, and soon settled. Mr. Durham was appointed Post-maaler, but Mr. Bertram should keep Ihe office and receive Ihe amolumenta ! This is rsal economy in patronage, and ia making the moat of a thing. Since the election of Old Tip, the post-master threatens to resign his blushing honors, aa we are informed ! Wa should'nl wonder. PRAISEWORTHY. The Whigs of Philsdelphia,we believe at the nig-gestion of Ihe North American, in preference to illu minaling in honor of the elecliou of Gen. Harrison, contributed the amount which Ihe Illumination would have coat, and distributed among Ihe poor and needy in prnporiion lo their several necessities. At St. Louis, Ihe Whigs have given a Ball, Ihe proceeds of which amounted lo $600. This has been appropriated lo Ihe purchase of 800 eords of wood, to be distributed lo Ihe poor during the present win ter. There have been various other celebrations, in thia noble manner, of Ihe election of Wa. Usury Harri-eon to the Presidency. What a proud reflection, lo have received the suffrages of such a People, and to see ths joy of triumph carrying substantial good lo the deatiiuia and needy ! We are sure Gen. Harrison properly appreciates Ihesa things, snd that Ihey hava their legitimate and grateful effect upon his generous nature. PRESIDENTS MESSAGE. The Madisonian of Thuraday lays : "It is proba bla lhal thia d umenl will not be forthcoming anlil to morrow, (Wednesday,) aa Congress is nol yel or ganiaed." The greal fall of snow haa so obstructed travelling thai there was not a quorum present in either House. 07 bill is bsfore the Legislature of Georgia to abolish cspilal puniahment ao far as relates to white persons, except for the crime of treason. They are also, instructing their Senators in Congress to vote for ihe repeal of the Sub-Treasury law, or resign, Perpetual Motion. Zuno W, Wilcox, of Highland county, Ohio, advertise! in the Cincinnati Gaaetla lhat he has, " after several years of close Invesllga- lion, succeeded in discovering Ihe principles on which ie founded perpetual motion;" which facl he lays hi Is prepared lo prove, " both by actual experiment and sound philosophy."

The Speaker announced Messrs. Griswold, Haw kins, Aten, Probasco, Burlier. Clark, Lawrence. vav, Ave, and .Marsh, ae members, on the pari or Ihe House, of the joint select ooiniuillee on the subject of the Judicial Courts. A joint resolution from the Senate was adopted, ap pointing 3 o'clock, P. M. of this day, for Ihe purpose of opening and counting the voles for Governor. I he House then look up the loint resolution from Ihe Senate, authorizing the printing of 7000 copies of the Governor e Message 5000 in English, and 8000 in ueripan, Mr. Marsh moved lo strike out the word "seven," and insert "three" in its place. Mr. Bliss suggested 8000 in English, snd 800 in German. Mr. Hamilton named 5000, and asked a division of the question. Mr. Jenkins said, he regretted the disposition muni festrd lo withhold from Ihe people Information of an Important a character. It had been already unusually delayed, and was anxiously expected by all classes. He said it appeared to strike his mind, that the small numbers which some gentlemen wished printed was nol for the purpose of saving and economy. The number waa less lhan usual. He had ascensined the cost of printing the message, and the accompanying document in reference In Ihe thiee per cent, fund, and Ihe whole amount would only be seventeen dollars and thirty cents per thousand. What then would gentlemen gainl It would only be but a trifling amount, He thought lhal 0000 copies waa not enough He had Intended to move fur 10,000 copies in Eng. lah, and 5000 In German. The coal of extra copies, be said, would be but trifling, Would ihs House then withhold from the people a document which they ao much desired t Were the people to be kept in ig-norancel A few hours debating would cost more than the whole expense of printing tha number of copies he de-ired. The report in reference to Ihe three per cent, fund accompanied the message, and it was ihe duty of the Representatives to send it forth amongst the people, All parties were anxious to procure them. He wae for giving the evidence to the people. .What would be the cost to each taxpayer in the Stale 1 The fraction waa so small that it could not be enumerated by the economizing gentlemen. He never had heard the people complain of having loo many documents sent them. He had been complained of because he did not send enough. If the majority on this floor wished retrenchment and reform, he would go wilh them at a proper time, but he would not agree lo reduce Ihe expense of printing on this item. Mr. Clark then addressed the House as follows: I trust, Mr. Speaker, that I shall be pardoned by this House for Ihe consumption of a few moments of its time upon the subject under discussion. A great part of my life has been spent in the business of printing, and lhat engagement haa necessarily attracted much of my attention to an investigation of the various interesting etatutica concerning my brethren of Ihe type. There are, sir, about one hundred weekly newspapers published in this State each of these establishments circulate weekly, upon an average, about 500 copies making ihe enormous weekly circulation within our Stale by means of Ihe independent press of fifty thmuandl and this too, exclusive of Ihe daily, semi-weekly, and Iri-weekly publication, which is very considerable. Now, sir, Ihis document, of which so large a number is proposed to be primed at public expense, is regularly published in every political journal of the State making its independent circulation exceeding fifty thousand copies !' Is there, then, any jusl reason to charge us with a disposition to suppress thia document, that Ihe people shall not be permitted lo see the Governor's message, when it ia shown beyond doubt, that over fifty thousand copies of thai paper will have found their way into all the ramifications of society before the resolution now pending shall have passed through the forma necessary lo give il legal sufficiency. Already, sir, have the people in many parte of the Slate received, through the newspapers of the day, lhat document; and as a general rule, they always read the annual message of our Governors in the newspapers long before it is received by them in pamphlet form, issued at public expense. The only reason for a special number to be ordered at public expense is, os a matter of convmii- ence, in laying it by for future reference, bearing in that torm something more ot authority than when found in a political journal of ihe day. I am very far from desiring the suppression of political intelligence, and especially do I not desire lo prevent the extensive circulation of this message, I desire that it should he extensively mad read, rir, by my constituents, and especially that portion or them who dihVr wilh me inpolitical sentiment. I wantthem to examine the matters in that paper contained. But. sir. as the ex tensive circulation of ihts document is the only object aimed at and I desire it ae much as any it is unna-cessary lo make an improvident expenditure of the f eopie a money Dy way ot show in Ihe ordering so arge a number lo be printed in a special way. There being but few German Journals in Ihe State, il is certainly necessary that more lhan an ordinary pnrponion be published by virtue of the resolution in question in that language, since the means afforded to the people reading il in English is not in sn equal measure secured to the Ger nan portion of our population. I should he willing to see 3,000 in English, and 3,000 n barman; any greater number would be useless and unnecessary, and would only result in an improvident and extravagant expenditure of the people's money. Mr. Bliss said he concurred in Ihe remarks of the gentleman who had taken his seal; bul there were other grounds on which he wss in favor of striking oui. They were lo be found in the peculiar sentiments of ihe message. He waa not opposed to leiting Ihe document go to the people. He was for Ihe diffusion of knowledge; but ihe necessity of printing a large number was obviated, from the faot lhat the sentiments had been published in almoat every paper in Ihe State, The Governor himself had, in his anxiety to dissemi nate hit peculiar sentimenis, visited every county in the State, ind proclaimed them from the stump. The message eomsined nothing new. The people had passed upon the sentimenle il contained, and had disapproved ihem. They had been undor consideration. He said the werd "humbuir" was written on everv column of Ihe message as plsin as Ihe hlszing eun-besms on the face of a noon-day sky. He spoke al soma length, ind wilh force, in favor of striking out. nir. rtarsn sain ne old nol Intend to trotihle this Houae often or long. Whenever he should rise here. his first consideration should be what he could leave out of his speech. He would nol say a word upon this question, were not a principle involved in il beyond the mere matter of printing this message. The item of printing and stationery had risen, of lale, In a very great amount. Gentlemen say that this is bul a small item. That may be true, sir; but all expenditures are made up of small items. And if any gentleman upon this floor, can double all Ihe items of a long ac count, and foot Ihem up al Ihe bot'orn at one-half Ihe amount or the original account, upon the principle of retrenchment, I trust, sir, that you, the moment hia peculiar qualifications become known lo yon, will rlace him at Ihe head of Ihe committee on Finance, leave to others to preach economy. I intend lo practice il. I have looked into the business of ths nub. lia priming. I am a plain malter-of-facl man, sir, and although not a printer, I sometimes deal in rule and figure work. The public records show these facts, that the printing and stationery for the (fiscal year 1838-'30, coat 11,961 83. The printing and stationery fur the fiscal year 1835-'6, cost 17,561 BO; showing sn increase in three years, in thai hem alone of the public expenditure, of $24,401 06. The printing and etalinnery for the fiscal year 1825-'6, eoat 1,815 39; showing an increase in thai item of ex penditure only, in thirteen yenre, of 537,119 53. The printing and stationery for i lie fiscal year Ih2()-'l, was 83,691 37, and thai Is as Tar back aa the public, recorde enable any man to trace il. The whole expenses of the Slate Government for Ihe fiscal year 18l9-'20, was 10, 5119 75; showing that the single item uf the public printing, has, in twenty years, increased so as lo be more lhan $1000 more than the whole expenses of the Slate Governmental Ihe former period. He ssid Ihere waa one oiher consideration: There ware, in round numbers, 300,000 voters Ohio. He knew no distinction amongst them. 8000 were his colleague's and hia own immediate quality 1 11 was true the item waa small, but several small items make up a large one. w hat, then, is lha object of priming tha message! Ilia not to give it lo ths people; for lhat, in Ihe manner proposed, is impracticable. The object is simply lo communicate it in a convenieul form lo those who read il in an official capacity. It wae true, it had been a practice to prim extra copies, bul ha considered il a prsclice more honored in Ihe breach than in the oh. servsnce. The message had already been primed for the benrfil of the people, and he trusted that it waa now in the hands of hundreds of his constituents, He remarked al some length, wilh great force and pertinence. His argument wss clear, explicit and conclusive. Rsportir. Ths vute was then taken on the question, and carried by a vole of 50 10 31, to strike out being a stnot parly vote. The vote was then taken on priming 8000; which wss negatived hy a vote of 38 lo 33. Mr. Brough moved lo amend the resolution by inserting 4500; which wse lost by a vote nf 38 to 33. Mr. Morris moved lo insert 4000; which was egreed to by a vote of 40 lo 30. Mr. Aten suggested thai tha number to bi printed in German be 3000; which was Inst.

A joint resolution from the Senate, authorizing $25 to be paid to Samuel Burwell, for services in preparing Ihe Senate Chamber for the reception of Ihe members, was taken up. Mr. Hamilton moved to lay it on the (able; pending which, the House took a recess. 3 o'clock, P. M. The House again met. Mr. Bliss gave notice that on to-morrow, or some subsequent day of the session, he would ask leave to introduce a hill supplementary lo the act pointing out the mode of levying taxes, passed March 14th, 1831.

The Speaker of Ihe Senate, attended by the Mem-here and Clerk thereof, conducted by theSergeant-at-Artne, entered the Hall of ihe House, and were seated. Thereupon, tha Speaker of the Senate, in presence of the two Houses of Assembly, opened and proclaimed the returns of votes for Governor, which resulted ss follows : For Thomas Corwin, - - 1.15,441 voles.

Mr. Hartley offered the following: Retained, by the limine of Rcprcsentathct nf Ohio, That a select committee nf three be appointed to prepare and report lo ihe House for its adoption, suitable rules for Ihe government nf those who are admitted within Ihe bar of ihe House fur Ihe purpose of reporting Ihe proceedings thereof, Mr. Bartley said, Ihey were "quasi officers" of Ihe House. It was proper ihere should he some rules for ineir government, aa for other officers. It was neces sary lo secure impartial reporting It. ftt.l nnt i,.n,l lo intimate that ihe present Reporters had acted im. ... ... ..... ..... properly. The House at the last eession had some difficulty with a Reporter, and it was to obviale Ihe recurrence of a similar proceeding. Mr. Jenkins said He saw no necessity for the resolution. It was true the House had eome difficulty in reference to s Reporter Issl session ; but he could not see any thing now 10 call for a committee, or for rulea. Would lhat committee act as the keepers of the Reporters 1 Would it control iheir reports, and say what should go to ihe people, and what should not I If such were the object, it would stifle lhat freedom which all should have. It would bean attempt to control rights which he held sacred, and he would not consent to lhal. When some epecifio chsrge should be made, il would be proper for Ihe House to take ihe subject in consideration ; but none as yel was made. It was not pretended thai any thing improper had taken place, and he could therefore eee no necessity for the resolution. The Reporters wsre adtnitied under a resolution of the House, wilh the presumption that Ihey we're men of integrity, who would keep within the sphere of their duty. He presumed ihey would, and saw nothing to warrant any other conclusion. He dwelt at eome length and wilh irreat force on Ihe subject before the House. j Mr. Bell said, he was opposed to the resolution, be-1 cause he considered it uncalled for. He considered ,' its effect would be to produce a strong impression , against the prreent Reporters. But ho would enquire what waa the object of admitting Reportera in the 1 Hall 1 II was to inform the people of the particular j acts and doings nf Iheir Represematives. If a committee was appointed, what would be the first rule ' Ihey would rccominenill lie wae al a loss to ims-! gine any other lhan what the Reporter! were now bound, hy an eatablished practice, 10 observe. For the House In appoint a committee lo dictate lo the Reporters what ihey should record of the doings and votes of the members, would withhold that information from the people which ihey had a righl to, and which could only be had through Ihe medium of re. ports copied into Ihe publio papers of ihe day. He did not believe the genilemsn from Richland intended Ihis I bul he contended such would be Ihe effects of Ihe measure proposed hy the member from Richland. It was time enough lo act in the mailer wheo Ihe Reporters were guilty nf improper conduct and unfair reporting. The member from Richland had said, lhat lie offered the resolution not from any improper coni duel of the present Reporters. He saw no necessity for the committee Mr, Hamilton moved to amend the resolution by , striking out all after the word "resolved," and inserting " That no bill lo change Ihe name of any person or place, or 10 repeal any act of the General Assembly, or 10 divorci husband and wife, or for Ihe incorporation of a church, or for the laying out, establishing and vacating a Slate road, or to inenrporale any Literary Society, ahall be printed, except by express order nf Ihe House. "Resolved, Thai no report of any committee of the Bartley, Mr. Hamilton withdrew hia amendment. On moiion of Mr. Jenkins, the resolution was laid on Ihe table. The Speaker laid before Ihe House the report of the Treasurer of State; which was, on motion of Mr. Bartley, laid on the table. Mr. Hawkins offered ihe following: Heioltrd by the Senate and Houu of Hepretentativee, Thai a committee of three members on the part of the House, and on the pari of the Senate, be appointed lo inform Thomas Corwin of his election lo the office of Governor of Ohio. Agreed to. Mr. VVorthinginn moved lo take up bill No. I; which wss agreed lo. After some discussion. On motion of Mr. Bliss, Ihe House adjourned until 10 o'clock to-morrow.
