The Tobacco Trade.
AVe have remarked how all the earth loveth
aud cherisheth the divine weed of the Western
World, which if we estimate tbe effects upon
the human family, should lead us to set down
as history that in the reign of Ferdinand and
Isabella, adrenturers did project mighty and
very perilous voyages whereby they discover
ed Tobacco, rather than America. For the
Frenchmen who snufTeth deep policy with his
rapee the German who soareth to the sub

TUe Inaugural.
The inaugural address of Gen.Harrison has
given rise to all sorts of speculations and re
marks in this city. The W7hig papers lauded
it, as matter ot course; the New Era neither
gave a single comment, or even the addiess it
self. The Post gave a column of remarks,
almost as wordy aud as little to the purpose as
the address itself.
The address is one of the most unevenly
composed aud written documents that ever
came irom the brain, or pen of a public func
tionary. Parts of it are most excellent, and
other parts are most trashy. The best nait?

"Mr. L. explained tho amendment and it
was adopted.
Mr. L. then proposed the following:
"For annual repairs of the President's
House gardeuer's salary, horse and cart, la
borers, tools, and amount due for repairs of
furniture, $2628.'
Mr. Wise inquired if the salary of the Pre
sident's gardener was included.
Mr. Leonard. It is.
Mr. Lincoln explained the amendment
After some further conversation between
Mr. Wise, Mr. Lincoln, and Mr. Stanly, as
to the duties and the authority of the Commit
tee on the Public Buildings over the public
grounds, the amendment was agreed to.
Our fellow citizens will perceive that Pre
sident Harrison is provided with a Uardener.

orators and presses said about Mr. Van Bu
ren's Gardener Is not this first rate most
ca nihil humbur?
The' whigs have been crying out "reform!"
"reform!" This is "reform with a vengeance."
Thr rnld snoon humbug also exploded on
ihf. dnv the Droceedings above quoted took
place- Mr. Duncan desired to know if there
are very, veVy hard to live up to. Many other
parts are unworthy the tyro at college, or his
first attempt at composition.
Lvery definite statement in the address
might have been given in one fourth the space
which the message occupies. There arc too
many words; it deals too much in generali
ties. There is too much said about 110th in
The remarks about one term, were ail unne
cessary; that point was in the contract; those
relative to tne lutenercnce ot othce holders m
elections are just, and what they should be.
But in relation to the veto and executive pow
er there is too much twattle; all the points
could have been given in a dozen lines.
The nonsense about " an exclusive me
tallic currency," is a crotchet of his own
brain ; a sort of a shuttlecock which he
stuck up and knocked down for amusement
three times in one paragraph The remarks
about the District of Columbia are miserably
written; the sentences are involved, complica
ted, and tortuous; they may be construed to
mean anything or nothing. The balderdash
about Oliver Cromwell,Caesar, and Bolivar,
will elevate the President in the eyes of no
one. He does not understand the character
of either.
Tho clumsy allusions to Greoco and Rome
repeated again and again, may be thought
classic by some, but it would be difficult to
prove them so
As to the statement about no republic ever
merging into an aristocracy, General Harri
son ought to have read the history of Venice,
and one or two republics we could name, be
fore he made the sweeping assertions we find
in his message.
The miserable manner in which the sub
ject of abolition, and especially the subject of
our foreign relatioui were slurred over, is
sufficient to stamp the inaugural with reproach
from all. This should have been remedied.
But the beautiful remarks about the spirit of
party; and the blasting effect of factions, cover
a multitude of errors. On account of these
few points; and the tone of goodness and be
nevolence breathed through the whole, we are
compelled to repeat that the inaugural con
tains many excellent remarks and resolves,
ut amazing hard to live up to.
A correspondent of the New Vork Post,
has taken the trouble to tag together no less
than twenty-two of the references to Corderii,
Selectee Veterse, Viri Homte, and JLutropius,
which cluster the Roman nosed Inaugural, iu
glancing over which again, wc find that be
sides the "two grains ot wneat" oetore men
tioned, there is some Indian Com. See the
maise in the following part of a sentence,
which is at once a specimen of dignity, taste,
nd style:
"Although the fiat of the people has gone
forth, proclaiming me the Chief Magistrate of
this glorious Union, nothing upon their part
remaining to be done, it may be thought that
a motive may exist to keep up the delusion
under which they may be supposed to have
acted in relation to my principles and opin
ions; and perhaps there may be," &c. &c.
May it not be doubted whether the Presi
dent mav not have consulted his self-respect
better, by refraining from auy allusion to any
delusion under which it may have been sup
noed the people may have voted? And may
not a reader not very careless, interpret this
perspicuous sentence into an admission that
. . 1 -
there may have been, or was delusion.'
Chas. Mercury
"Banks are a great accommodation to bu
siness men." This is the principal argument
used by the advocates of the banking system;
on it a New Orleans paper makes the follow
ing remarks. . ,
"It is a curious fact connected with our
banking operations, that those who have here
tofore engrossed the favors of the discount
board whose cup of bank accommodations
has been filled to overflowing, . are the very
persons who are now plunged deepest in em
barrassment, if not in bankruptcy and ruin.
The system which but a few years since made
them the object of envy, and the higher mag
nates of the lahd, has, in the issue of its ope
rations, hurled them into the deep abyss of
poverty and misfortune. Yet it seems but just
that those who glittered in the pride of bank
wrought confidence, should share the fate
ofthe instruments which bore them upwards
be used at the first gossiping corner what
to all these is the JNew W orld, but that the In
dian divinity descended in his robe of light
and smiles and where he toucbeth the earth
at the feet of his devout children shot up the
broad green leaf ot 1 obacco! It would seem
that the whole earth ought to love us for it
but ingratitude! There must be something
like religion in the human devotion to this
herb for about no other subject than that,
has there been so much contention such an
everlasting antipathy to absolute toleration
such abominable interference oflaw makers
such an incurable proclivity to tuin it into a
public trade, a government monopoly, and let
the State dole out to the devotees just such
quantity and quality of the article as suited
the court interest. We do not find any ex
ample of the same perversity in regard to
other articles of luxurious necessity. Thus
the Ancients delighted their palates (see the
learned author of Peregrine Pickle,") with
infusions of asafoetida (literally gum stinky,
or as the Teutonic race politely designate it
Tetifelsdrech, Devils-grog) yet we are not in
formed that any Greek or Roman, or Persian
or African Administration ever claimed the
exclusive right of manufacturing and selling
assafoetida puddings. But let that pass and
turn we to the facts.
Ofthe Asiatic.regulations on the subject of
Tobacco, we are' ignorant. But the article is
produced to supply domestic consumption,
and there is scarcely any commerce in it be
tween different counties. No Tobacco is
believed to be exported from this country to
Asia. But in Europe every country with tho
exception of Turkey, is more or less interest
ed in onr Tobacco crop. This singularity u
also to be remarked, that oil countries in Eu
rope, except Great Britain and Norway, arc
producers of Tobicco, and that oiir own is
little used but in'mixture, it having a strength
and pungency which no culture has succeeded
in giving to the plant in that quarter ofthe
world. Beyond the necessity for this sea
soning as it were, of their own weaker arti
cle, with the sharper juices of ours, the appe
tite of the European demandeth not American
tobacco. Its use is then more limited than
we suppose though the fact that in the arti
cle of snuff, in spite of the cost, we still de
pend on Europe, is to the point. The Ger
man leaf too, for the pipe, is not a little con
sumed in the Uuited States, and is indeed an
article, which for its mild and gentle inspira
tion, we can commend to the philosophic por
tion of our readers. The cultivation of tobac
co iu Europe is not exactly therefore compe
tition with us, and the duties ofthe foreign
leaf are not exactly protection. This fact is
of the utmost importance that in Belgium
and Holland, where the duties on American
tobacco are altogether nominal, the domestic
growth of the plant is greater than in any
country ofthe same extent throughout Europe.
In sweden, too, the duty is very light, and
there are not, that we know of, any discrimi
nations any disadvantage, yet nearly two
thirds ofthe tobacco consumed in that coun
try is of European growth, and the same is
true of Denmark where the consumption of
the article is very great, and the duty on Amer
ican tobacco is scarcely enough to pay the
expense of collection. Prussia presents a
fact still more remarkable. A duty of $331
per hundred pounds is leviedon American
tobacco, while tho native cultivation is sub
ject to a tax on the land which appears fully
equal to that duty. Yet the latest account
we have ofthe production of tobacco in Prus
sia, show that the crop equalled 13,000,000
pounds, worth about $500,000 while our
ownjeommercial tables show an export from
the United States to Prussia of only 19 hhds.,
worth less than $2000. It does not appear
so certain, therefore, that a free competition
betweem American aud European tobacco
would eo essentially benefit the former.
One other fact and we have done for to
day. Tho greatest market for American to
bacco in Europe is in that country where tho
most oppressive duties aje levied on it. In
Great Britrin the cultiation is absolutely pro
hibited, and the commercial relations of that
country with the United States give to us a
natural command of her market.
