At a complimentary diuner at Bultimore, when on his way fjom Washington to Marshfield, ho made quite a speech, cliiefly on commercial matters. Affer some introductory remark?, he goes on to say: Wc are now at the end- I arn incorrect in that e.nresinn, for we have not, 1 trust, reached the end. I was about to say we are now at Ihe end of a universal peace of 2f vears: I inean to say that we are now ut a point o time, when 2.rj years of universal pence ha elapsed. During that period, all civilized uations have been turning thcir thoughts. from war to peace. TiiR have given lheir attention to their own interesls,agricultural, commercial, or manufaeturing, so that whilc there is not nów a contest about the power of any nation, there is a severo and woll mafntnine i contest on many sides in regard to the progress of arts, the furtherauce of the pnrsujts and products ol labor, and Ihe genend irnorovement of nl ronks of society.

He then gfoes on to broach his p!an of commercial arranf'rr.ent,by which Ihe.duties levied by each government sliall be ascertained by treaty, and not, as at present, by legislativa aefs, uhich are almost hoslile to each other. The object of thi.s trealy on our part should be the admission inr.o Enrlund, at a löwer rate sfdutieSj of several of our larrro ngiiculttiral irodue's. In ennmerating these, it is verv ïatuiül. as Mr. W. was among Slaveholders, ie should place Tobacco, Rice and Ma ze, ïrst on tire list. Five IjupIicIs of corn are aised in the United States lp every one of .vheat; and there was no prospect that Engand would consent to a reduction of d'itiei onriuui, wiiuu u was ueneveu sne migiii be satisfied wilha low fixeJ tluty on corn.
