“I am under too great an obligation to you sir, to
deny you anything although iuy pliysician has re-
fused to permit tire to see company, yetI _must see
to thank you once more for your friendly interposi-
lion in preventing me from consnnrmating the rash
act I was about to commit. .
‘My servant will conduct you to me at 11 o’clock
to urorrow. Till then, adios, Lennon.’
Heavily the hours passed to the strangenbut
‘ll o'clock’ at length came and in a few mo-
meets he was ushered into the presence Ol
his long sought Leonor!
The room was partly darkened when he
entered. Its stillness and its twilight con-
trasted-strangely with the noise and glaring
rroonqlay in the streets.
2,-; On one side of the room, reclining upon
a couch, lay the object of his search, who
as soon as he entered extended her hand to
welcome him, but her emotions was too
great to permit her to speak, and she fell
back upon her couch quite exhausted.
Restoratives were immediately applied by
the nurse and the stranger, who thought
as he leaned over her now almost lifeless
forrri, that he had never beheld such be-auty.
Iler dark waving "trusses falling back from
her temples displayed in all their classical
symmetry her delicately clriseled fialuri S.
wihile rel-urniog consciousness, like the mor-
ning dawn, began to light them up with a
soft and fitful radiance that was almost en-
chiuting.
Soon she revived and thanked him for the
interest he had taken in her welfare, and
begged him to excuse her weakness. ‘But.’
she continued, ‘you rememember the dread-
ful circumstances under which we first mill.
and seeing you, has again brought them
freshly to my mind. I am too weak to con-
verse with you now, hut come again at evjen
iag; I would be glad to talk With 3'°“- —
'I‘he stranger took his leave, but at the first
shadows of evening, was again on his way
to the house of Leaner. He found her more
calm and composed than he had in the tiior-
ning, but he was shocked to see the rava-
ge§ disease had made upon h ‘r form since
he first met her at the Tacon The-itre.
She motioned him to a seat beside her;
directed the nurse to leave the apartment
and then began in a soft and silvery tone to
coinniunicate what had passed since they
last met. .
‘Tire night after the afliiir at th theatre
I was taken suddenly ill, and since then I
have been worse, and no hopes are now en-
tertained of my recovery. I have _§vished
much to see you before 1 die that I might tell
you liowgrateful I was, for your having
sivad the life of one who is dearer to tire
than life itself. And I thank God for thus
answering my prayers. My physicians
have ordered a sea voyage and a change of
air, but it is all of no avail, for the hand of
the conquerer is upon me and 1 shall soon
go hence.’
For several days the stranger was con-
stant in his visits to the lovely girl, and did
all in his power to smooth the couch of her
siffering, but it was all of no availl Dis-
ease kept on its rapid work, and like the
summer flower, she faded hour by hour, un-
til she was near the confines ivhere those
two worlds meet-—the living and the dead.
About ti week after his arrival in New
Orleans the stranger was called to the bed-
side of the dying gir‘l. Assoon as be en
tered, she motioned him to a seat beside her.
01 one side lzueeled her mother with a cru-
cifix in her hand, at the foot stood the nurse,
looking the very personificafon ofdespair.
A great change had taken place in the
lovely sufferer. Tfie hand of death was tip-
on her, but her eye was still bright and her
breathing regular, yet her mind wandered
coatiuualfy among the scenes of the past.—-
After a longer silence than ustial, she said
taking the hand of the stranger, upon which
was the ring given him at the theatre, ‘this
hand once saved me from committing a
dreadful crime! I had a demon in my heart
then, buf you tore it thence, and I have had
peace since.’ Then turning to her mother
she inquired the day of the week. ‘Tues-
d ty.’ ‘I thought sol this is the bridal night
of him 1 was about to slay when you arres
ted my arm! Hal ha! ha! thit was a
rare time! and her mind wandered off to
scenes connected with the great disappoint-
ment she had met with. _
Soon she was rational agaiti and bade her
mother tell her fiithless dect-iver that she
loved him through life and- died invoking
hl'ssings on his head.’ "l‘ire~sela_v. Tuesday’
she r=:~pcated several times, ‘Yes. Tues-iayl
he will be the husband of another, and 1 his

he is calling me———_','es I conie—-be not impa-
tient. Leave tire with my friends one mo-
ment; but I loved him and thought he loved
me--oh, bitter, bitter hate.’
In this way her mind wandered on from
one thing to another; at times rcvelingamid
the bttds and blossoms that surrounded her
early youth, but ever returning to the scenes
connected with her unhappy attachment.
Fainter and fainter beat her pulse and lon-
get the intet‘vals between her moments of
consciousness. Or it is painful to stand by
the bedside of the depirting' under any cir-
cumstances. but when that one is young antl
beautiful it istrying indeed. '1‘o -feel your
own itnpotency at tlr.-it dread hour, and to

mjgng ofthe hand that is to sever the golden
links of life.
To hear the last faintly murmured fare
well and the last sigh of one who isjiistbird-
ding into life, is too much even for a store to
bear unmoved, and we will not then bltlme
the stranger for sinking upon his knees by
the bedside of the dying girl. But why
‘dwell upon scenes like these? they must be
witnessed to be felt.

nounce it as injurious to the farmers. How
it operates to their injury they leave us to
conjecture. \Ve have shown that it protects
them against foreign competition; that it
creates a market for wool, silk, hemp and
other raw material used in manufactures, to
the annual aniountof $50,000,000; and that
it gives them a home market in which they
sell their surplus produce to the amount of
l40,000,000, in addition to the foreign mar-
ket, which has never purchased $20,000,000.
And yet the friends of Jas. K. Polk, pretend-
ing to speak in behalfof American farmers.
deziiand its repeal! Let us suppose their at-
tempt to be successful—th..t they Iiave ac-
can system of manufactures; and let us see
what would be the result.
1. In the first place the duties on foreign
produce would be taken off and the produce
of Europe would be admitted duty free.—
Under the low price, however, at ‘which our
own grain would sell, it is not likely that
any great amount would be itnportr-d.
2. The farmers would lose the market for
their wool, silk, hemp, &c. They Would
cease to be nianulaclured and could not of
course be exported: the market, which for
these three articles alone amounts as we
hm... seen to $31,000,000, would be at once
annihilated.
3. The farmers in the next place, would
lose the home market, in ‘ which they now
sell to those engaged in manufacturing.
wheat, provisions, &c. to the annual amount
of&3l40,000,000. Here are two markets for
American produce, to the amount $l7l,00O,-
000, utterly and forever destroyed.
4. What, meautitne, becomes of the
80,000 persons engaged in manufacturing?
The great mass of thenr—-at least three-
fourths-—iuust become farmers. Each of
them would raise produce to the amount of
at leastS400; and this would give an ag-
gregale Of $340 000 000.
5. But there is still another class to be
taken into the account. There are in this
country 320000.000 sheep valued at $2
each, making 50,000,000. The land on
which they are kept sustains about three
sheep to the acre through the year; thesi-
shcep 1“ quire, therefore, 6, 600,000 acres,
worth at $20. l32,000,000.
6. The capital II'lVtSlt'(I directly in manu-
factures, as we have seen from the returns of
the late census. is (‘Stimatctl at$267,000.000
In the culture of silk and hemp and other
articles of prime necessity in rnanuf-curring,
it is fair to presume that at least 8350 000.000
are invested. We have then the folloiiing
aggregate capital, which, if the locofocos
succeed in crushing the American System of
Manufactures. tniist be withdrawn froui its
present business and be iuvt sted, almost en-
tirely, in agriculture:
Sheep, 20,000,000 at -$2 each $40 000,000
Land to sustain them, l32.000,000
C;ip’l invested in manufactures, 267,000,000
Capital in silk, hemp, &c. 50 000,000
Aggregate, $489,000,000
This vast capital is to be invested in agri-
culture; and it cannot be doubted that it will
yield produce to the amount of at least 50
per cent, making no deduction for the sup
port of the farmers; this, then, will give an
agricultural production, in addiiion to that
which “(E now have, of $‘244.000.000: and
the sum total of the products of American
ftirtnerswill stand thus:
Present aggregate production, $860,000,000
600,000 persons, at $400 each 240,000,000
From the capital now-invested
in manufacture
244.000.000
Aggregate $l344.000,000
If the locofocos succeed, therefore, in tip-
rooting the American System of Manufac-
tures, the aunual products of American agri-
culture will swell to over t/rirlcen lrunclretl
millions ofdollars annually, at their present
prices. Halfol this, at the very least, would
remain on hand after making full allowance
for the consumption of those engaged in
raising it; and a market would thus be
demanded for more than six /1-u,7zd-rcr.l mill-
ions annually. \Vhat provisions dothe loco
focos in-ike for this vastly increased amount
ofsirrplus produce! What new markets do
they open ? What old ones do they enlarge?
VVh:it restrictions upon existing markets do
they remove? \Vhat new and effectual way.
do they point out to the farmers ofAmerit:a,
for disposing of this vast surplus of their
productions? Under the American system
the Home Market buys about two /ru,m1rer.l
milloins, nearly half of the entire surplus;
and the stimulus givrn to new branches of
industry affords constant, and constantly in-
creasing, demand for thereniriindt-r. Is this
still further enlarged under the new loco
foco systt-in ? On the contrary it is a-nni/tila-
led! And not only that, but those who once
formed it are rnadn the riv.tls of those from
whom they once bought lll"St" products. No
new market is created in its stead; no old
one is enlarged: no barriers of trade are
broken down: but this vast surplus of
33600000000 is made entirely dependent on
the Foreign market, a market 3000 miles off
guarded by foreign legislation. entirely be-
yond American control, constantly subj-rted
to enormous duties, and a market. moreover,
which has never yet afforded a sale of 20.000
000 of the agricultural products ofAnrt-ri':a l
Sometimes these new fangled 'fr2'cmls’ of
the fai’incr tell him that uirder this system
we shall itnport all the goods we use: that
we shall thus pl1l'ch:.sP an_ immense amoum
from Europe, and shall of course, be obliged
to export an equal amount to pay for it.
That we shall have to pay for it is be-
yond all doubt: but can we p-iy (gr it in
our produce ? Will Europe take o-"u‘i' wheat
and corn, &c. in payment for what she sells
us ? She has never done it. Year after year
we have bought goods to air immense
amount of her: but she. has never taken our
productions in ftrll payment. Europe buys
of us just as much as she wants and no more;
nor will she buy‘ any more, however much
we may owe her. She can procure wheat
from the Baltic and Black Seas cheaper than
from the United States, and she will always
buy there instead of here. Upon all thatshe

Again, not lialf the surplus products of
our farmers will bear exportation. All
coarse grains and the larger part of all their
prodot-e_ would not sell for enough in the
foreign market for carrying them ihitho-r.‘—‘—
And "then suppose the Foreign market should
be thus enlarged, what price would thesv

price. Foreigners or those who raise the
articles .7 Let us examine this point.

at home, therefore, supposing the Fortgigri
to be the only market, could not exceedforty
or at the most forrlg/jive ct-ntsl And this is
the price for which the Aiiiericary-.__.farmer
must sell his surplus Wheat, under’ the new
locofoco system l And this too, on the .-up.
position that a market for it could be found.
which, as we have shown, would be utterly
impossible! Verify, the locofoco ‘statesmen’
of ourdsiy must regard tl:e great body of
Farmers as fools or mudtiien, to be deluded
for an instant by such ins--.ne mockeriws as
these. This is the ratio in which all the
agricultural produce of America would be
reduced in p"ice; and the coaser articles
would fall still more: .
VVheat,which now brings 94 cts.would then bring 45.
Corn, which sells for 50 cts.w_ould then bt'iirg20.
Flottr,wliieh brings pr bl.425cts.would then bring300
Oats, which sells for 30 cts. would bring ]5.
Beef',which brings per bbl600 cts.would sell for .400.
Pork, which sells for 800 cts. would bring 500_
Antl a similar, or even a -greater l‘t'.i‘lllC-
tion would take place on the other articles
raisi-d by the American Farmers. This
would inevitably follow, from the retrieval
of their only market 3000 miles off; and from
the glue which would be necessarily created
and which uould alwas exist. This market
moreover, would be subject to continual vari
ations: we should be obliged to take goods
in payment at the price European manufac-
turers saw fit to impose: and the price both
of what we had to sell and what we had to
buy, would be placrd entirely out of our
reach, and under the complete control of
foreigners. Does the American farrncjrthlnlr
this a flattering prosp-.-ct .7 S-‘e wl'i‘.l'F7F.e ef-
fect would be on the aggregate amount of
grains produced in the country:
lVow brings. Would (ken bring.
VVheat, $78,000,000 $37,800,000
Corn, 188,000,000 75,000,000
Oats, 37,000,000 18.000000 .
Provisions 330,000,000 200,000,000
And so would the aggregate amount" re.
off more than half, even when it "could
be sold at all. These statements do not rest
oti mt-re calculation. Those who can re-
member those days,or who will turn to a price
curr- nt of them, know that in l8l9, for ex-
anrpl--, when the manufactirring system was
nearly crushed and the home uiarket almost
destroyed, Corn could scarcely be sold for
I251, cents a bushel, and many a fllflfl at lhe
west, was suffered to go uriharvested. The
writer ofthe articles in the Newport Times,
to which we have often rt-ferred, te|'s usthat
in that year he visited Ohio and walkrd over
a corn field of I00 acres at North Bend. the
whole of which Gen. Harrison offvrt-d him
ff he would pay his shoe bill fora single
yearl Other grains was sold in the same
proportion. 1
Now the only thing that has given agri-
cultural produce the additional value which
it now bears, is the establishment of an
American System of Manufacture-s by Pro-
tection. And so long as this system advan-
ces and extends faster than the natural in-
crease of agricultural products, so long will
these products advance in price; when it
falls behind this increase, they will fall.-
Several articles of farm:-r’s produce have
fallen considerably during the past year,
solely in cons:-qur tree of the greatly increas-
ed produciion——.an increase with which man-
ficiures did not keep pace. The only way
to keep tip the price of what the Furuicr has
to 5 ll is to increase the number and ability
of those ‘.\ he must buy of him Now these
points will scarcely be disputed: I, that
Protection increases the number of men eni-
ployed in riianufacturt-5: 2, this increase iti
numbers creates an iticrc.-ising deiiiatrl for
wheat, provisions and othvr agricultural
products, 3, this increased demand augments
the prices of these prodtrcis. These propo
sitions are seTf evident, and yet they eml.ot.ly
the whole of the political philosophy which
establishes the necessity of Protection.
