iiiateriaLibr our argument. It is no less 
probable that the persons, of whom he gives 
a list, as having been applied to by him in 
the several counties he mentions, gave their 
opinions very hastily, not being allowed suf-

collect the necessary documents to enable 
them to draw a fair average; therefore, we 
apprehend that Mr. Young’s information 
upon this important subjefl; is merely matter 
of opinion, and no more to be relied upon 
than that which mig-ht have been obtained 
O 
on any market day, at Mark-Lane, by making 
the enquiry of sixty-seven persons promis- 
cuously brought together from twenty-live 
counties'^ out of eigluy-live, and who were 
not previously informed of the motives of the 
enquiry.
