he present alarming depression of the manu- 

 ;urini; interest, and of coDscqueiicc the low 

 cs of wool, and tlio want of a inurkot for ag- 

 iltural proilcice, has given rise lo many meot- 

 i of farmers and wool-growei*; ; and to the

 iscd ns to afford an adequate protection lo this 

 ich of our national industry. We give inser-

 ERS OF VERMONT. 



t a meeting of the Pennsylvania Society for 



promotion of Manufactures and the flicchanic 

 5, recently held in Philadelphia, it was deter- 

 ed to call a meeting of che Farmers, Manufac- 



rs, and all others in Pennsylvania interested 

 hose branches of industry : to be holden in 

 nsylvania on the 27th of this month, to take 



consideration the present depressed state of 



iculture generally, and more particularly that 

 wool and woollen manufactures. And it was 

 immcnded that each state interested should 



t and send five delegates to attend a con- 

 :ion to be holden at Harrisburgh, in the state 



ennsylvania, on the ,SOth day of July na.vt. 

 o state is more interested in the important ob- 

 6 of that convention than the State of Vermont.

 ■ilock, A. M. to take into consideration the de- 

 ised stale of Agriculture and Manufacturers, 



also to consider the propriety of acceding to

cannot be expected that every person inter- 

 u can attend, but it is hoped that each town 



send at least one Delegate to the meeting at 

 land. ELIJAH PAINE.
