great many said that it was more owing

to her having perfortni-d some opera

about New Orleans, and was very much
given to experiments; and had so cap

more despatch or at cheaper rates.-
This beiug conceded, as from the obvi
ous nature of the proposition it urSNt
be, the questiou arises whether it is the
interest and policy of the State to fos
ter and encourage a direct foreign im
port tra'de.
Pursuinz this inquiry, it i. in the
first place, to be remat ked that Virginia
has a large export tra Je, large when
compared with the aggregate export of
all the States. Her exports for three
year ending with December, 183r,
averaged 35,265,461. This, ol course,
gave her that amount of foreign rapi
tal, ready to be employed in whatso
ever mode that was profitable. Vet,
whilst she had it in her power, through
the medium of her exports, to obtain
,tiirtv ami at a oil.iro.l rnst !.
directly
foreign productions d
emandrd by her
se of trade hither-
consumption, the course
to hasbcen to-b.ain those productions '
in northern .cities, thereby receiv.ne
them through a circuitous channel anil
at an enhanced cost. The average
import for the period just referred to,
has been less tltsn one seventh of her
exports; and assuming that the differ
ence between those two amounts has
been expended in procuring at the
north thuse foreign supplies, which her
exports would have enabled her to pro
cure directly from abroad, and assuming
further that the augmented cost of the
former operation is equal tu fifteen per
centum, and we detect an annual loss
.1 n.AA wtrt I .
of about R700.000 incurred by -the
State from her neglect if the" import
trade. Hut that sum is far below the
actual annual loss for fifteen per cent
um is an under estimate of the addi
tion to. the
charges
nrtnn
the foreign
supplies coming through (he indirect
channel referred to, and the sum assum
ed to be inveited in those supplies, is
below the actual amount. The loss to
the consumer of foreign supplies, so
obtained, is equal at least to fifteen per
cent, upon the amount of his purchases.
Now if any thing be needed to rouse
the citizens of our State from the su
pineness which could overlook so enor
mous a tax upon its industry snd re
sources, or reconcile them to it, it
would seem to be the consideration
that it is with their own sterling money
the importation is made, which they
submit to receive at second hand at an
ruinous a sacrifice. Again the tonnaee

consideration, in a great degree, ac
counts for the comparative languishing
condition of the import trade, and tlx
reluctance of our niircl.ants to engage
in it. The capital uf few, compara
tively, is adequate to its burthen; and
the exigency resulting therefrom ha not
hitherto been met and provided for by
the granting of those banking facilities,
which a timely and earnest appeal to
ou Legislature would doubtless have
obtained. And this brings the com
mittee to the con ide rat ion ot tlie
second resolution.
It is the opinion of your committee
