that those States are enabled to procure the cotton, rice, &c. required for the exchanges of foreign commerce. The great bulk of the articles upon which a Carolina gentleman of large fortune, whose expenditures are at all liberal, lays out his income-including the prodigal waste of absenteeism-are Northern and Western products-articles of the description alluded to in the following observation of M. Say-an observation of great importance in itself, but unhappily not quite applicable to our situation. "But even in this point of view, the exclusive system is pregnant with injustice. It is impossible that every class of production should profit by the exclusive system, supposing it to be universal, which, in point of fact, it never is in practice, though possibly it may be in law or intention. Some articles can never, in the nature of things, be derived from abroad; fresh fish, for instance, or horned cattle-as to them, therefore, import duties would be inoperative in raising the price. The same may be said of mason's and carpenter's work and of the numberless callings necessarily carried on within a communityas those of shopmen, clerks, carriers, retail dealers and many others. The producers of immaterial products, public functionaries and fundholders lie under the same disability. These classes can none of them be invested with a monopoly by means of import duties, though they are subjected to the hardship of the monopolies granted in that way to other classes of producers." (p. 110.) Even butcher's meat from NewYork is sometimes sold in this city and from the most important products of art and industry down to the coarsest and most humble, through all their imaginable varieties, this State pays for what it consumes, and that, with two and only two commodities-cotton and rice. How much of its annual income is added to its capital, and goes to swell the products of its land and labour-it is hard to say. Subject to a perpetual drain by absenteeism and emigration-buying every thing and paying dearly for whatever it buys-it is feared that its annual savings are very little. By the operation of natural causes-such as the geographical and political connexion between the South and North, the comparative unproductiveness of slave-labour, at least, in trades requiring skill, climate, &c.-the manufacturing States, have, without the interference of the government, immense advantages over us in our mutual intercourse. We stand towards them in the same relation as Poland towards Holland, and even a worse. But surely that is no reason why a most onerous system of taxation should be added to the evils inseparable from our condition, and that, because we have one sort of product which they have not, we should be compelled by our government to let them in for a larger share of that, than they would at all events have.
We need not add, that when we speak of our whole consumption being supplied from the other States, we do not forget that we import a good deal from Europe. We refer, particularly, to that immense mass of products, of which the greater part, ought to be, and, in most countries, is, as Say remarks, furnished by domestic industry.
By accident the subjoined addition to the Note at page 338 in the article upon Griffin's Remains, was omitted.
"What we have said of the abuse of Cæsura is equally applicable to other prosodial figures, synalæpha, ecthlipsis, &c These are poetical licenses to which poets only are entitled; they are inadmissible in the crade productions of schoolboys. Exceptions are not rules. What would be boldness in Pindar, is mere impudence in the writer of such verses as are here under consideration, and, under proper instructors, would never have been attributable to Mr. Griffin. Of him we delight to form a more favourable estimate; for, judging by the portrait prefixed to these volumes; by the character given by Dr. M'Vickar; and by various specimens of his prose works, we do not hesitate to believe and to say that he was, in the most enlarged sense:
“Ingenui vultus puer, ingenuique pudoris.”
Owing to the absence of the Editor, many errors crept into the article on Canal Navigation and Fluids in our Fifteenth Number. The able writer of that article has already published a list of them in a daily journal.
In correcting the press, "high" was inadvertently substituted for "low" at page 300, line 8.
