Jt is where kindness brings to birth
The infant Gn vin vut;
It springs as Hniies the summer mom,
Within the human breast;
It scatters beauty o'er the thorn,
' And lulls the heart to rest.
It smiles upon the mountain head,
It brightens o'er the sea.

And thoughts long numbered
Burst forth in ecstacy
The friends who once to us have been
The checrcrs of the heart,

And in our lot take part.
Can we forget them? we forget
The days when childhood flew,
When every joy with tears were wet,
And joys were ever new?
No! No! we may forget the day

But ne'er forget the first display

A 3IOXSTROIS Fit A I'D.
That the Locofoco journals should be
lie the Tariff of 1842 is but natural.
We hardly know that we ought to com
plain of it. But when their falsehoods
are copyed into neutral and Whig papers
as undoubted facts, we do feel that
the injustice is too gross to be endured in
silence. Thus the tables which we find
running the rounds of the Country jour
nals, including many Agricultural, Reli
gious, &c.,and some that are called Whig
under the title of the "Tariffs of 1842
and 1846 compared," is a villianous com
pound of knavery and lying. For in
stance, it gives among
Luxuries.

The evident design here is to insinuate,
because the Tarifl of '42 imposed high
er duties on such imported articles as
come in competition with the products of
our own labor and lower on such as do
not, that therefore the Whig Tariff de
Mjrncdly discriminates to make dear the
articles consumed by the Poor and to
cheapen those consumed by the Rich:
We despise the mean-souled villians who
could make that insinuation too intensely
to reply to their calumny. Every man
of them knows better knows that no
fucJi thought ever entered the heads of
those who framed the Tariff of '42.
There may be some who half ignorantly
repeat the slander, but its authors and
contrivers never drew an honest breath in
their'livrs. To attempt a formal refuta
tion of their deceit would be dignifying it
and them unwisely and unjustly. A judge
on the bench might as well argue with a
convicted counterfeiter on the inutility
and impropriety of counterfeiting cs a vo
cation. But the direct unmistakable lalsehoods
unbodied in the table now going the
rounds of the journals, including some
which cannot be conscious parties to the
fraud, demand exposure. The following
is the statement of the actual rates of
duty imposed by the Tariff of '42 on the
articles above enumerated, as compared
with the rates:

These, be it remembered, are from a
table of articles picked out by our oppo-
nents to show the injustice of the lariffof
1842 and the superiority of that of 1846.
Its assertion that the duty of 1842 on
Madeira Wines is but five per cent, that
on Wilton Carpets but 23, that on Silk
Handkerchiefs but 10, etc. &c. are frauds
J of the grossest character. Ask our ma-
I kers of fine Carpets whether the new 50

of the Genius, to which the whole Loco-
(am rtv in Conorrss nre said for fear of
the influence of Mr. Stewart, to have
1 o
been driven against their consent, into the
sunnort of the British Tariff Act. Yes!
Mr. Stewart, who is deemed "semi-idiotic"
"who receives more curses, at Wash
ington, than any other man in Congress
"who for his efliiciousness and for be
ing personally interested in the manufacture
of iron, disgusted all sides of the House"
"whose farcical exhibitions were look
ed upon as expedients to put mouey in
his pockets," is represented as having
driven the whole Locofoco party in Con
gress into the support of the British Bill
without an attempt to amend it.
Such coarse invective and bungling
falsehood defeat themselves. We wish
we had room to extract the whole letter
from the Genius.
That Mr. Stewart was interested in the
benefits conferred by the Tariff of 1842
everybody knows, and no one pretends
to deny. Who, except the office hunters
and holders whom no misfortune or op
pression of the laborer can injure, is not
interested in it? The writer of this letter,
who is an office holder in Washington, or
more likely a brokendown iron master at
Uniontown, and such as he, arc the only
persons exempt lrom the evils of vicious
legislation and law, calm as a summer
morning look down upon the misery they
inflict.
For the hundredth time these miserable
vampires who feed on the life blood of
the laboring poor, and laugh at the "ago
ny" which they "pile up," on those
whom they plunder, have been invited to
point to the public act of Mr. . Stewart,
injurious to the poor man's or any other
deserving man's interest. His voles are
all on record his public 'speeches are in
the hands of every one. Let them lay
their fingers on the thought word or ac
tion uttered of done injury to his con
slituents.
But this letter writer is in favor of the
British Tarifl Act. lie points out its ad
vantages over the Act of 1842, and shows

House of Representatives, Aug, 8 46.
l see tnis morning mat l am assaueu
by the Editors of the "Union" in nearly
a column of abuse for having had the
"hardihood to propose in the House the
formation of a "home league to use Jl
merican instead of foreign goods to
support our own mechanics, mauufactu-
rers, and farmers in preference to those
of Great Britain, and thus resist the de
clared purpose of the Secretary of the
1 reasury to prevent the substitution oi
American for foreign goods.

them do this, see what the American
shoemakers, hatters, and other, mechan
ics and manufacturers will say to it. Let
them form their British league to use
British goods in opposition to the Ameri
can leagne to use Americon goods, and
see which will prevail. Let them try
which is the strongest, the British or the
American party in this country. To
this I have no objection.
I am further charged by the Union
with favoring the tariff of 1842, which it
says imposes a tax of eighty millions of
dollars, by the increased price of sixteen
articles enumerated by the Secretary of
the Treasury, viz. iron, woollen and cot
ton goods, leather, paper, &e the prices
of which have been greatly reduced, as
every body knows, since the tariff of
1842. Yet we are told that the people
are taxed eighty millions of dollars by
the increased price of these articles, of
which the Secretary says wc now pro
duce annually in the United States three
hundred and thirty-one millions of dollars
worth. But let the Secretary destroy, as
he proposes to do, this immense home
supply, and purchase them from abroad,
and what will then be the tax paid to for
eigners? Three hundred and thirty-one
millions a year ! And where will he find
money to pay it ? But how does the
Secretary make out this tax of eighty
millions, as the Union has it, or seventy
five according to his own statement? By
adopting, to use his own words, "the . po
sition that the duty is added to the price
of the import, as also of its domestic
rival." To show the absurdity of the
Secretary's "position" that the duty is in
all cases added to the price of the "do
mestic rival" pioduct, let us take a few
other cases, (quite as fair as some of those
selected by the Secretary,) and sec the
result to which it brings him. For in
stance, the duty on potatoes is ten cents a
bushel,1 of which we imported last year
211,000 bushels, exported 274,000 and
produced 150,000,000. Now, if the
duty of ten cents is added to the price of
the hime supply; then the potato tax is
$ 1 5,000,000. We produced 128,000,000
bushels of wheal: the duty on wheat is
twenty-five cents a bushel; so that, if
the duty is added to the pried, as the Sec
retary says, then the wheat tax amounts
to $32,000,000 a year. We produce
1,000,000,000 pounds of cotton yearly.
We imported last year, according to the
Secretary's report, 13,000,000 pounds
of cotton. If the duty (three cents per
pound) is added to the . price of cotton,
then the cotton tax will amount to $30,
000,000. Thus it will be seen that, ac
cording to the Secretary's theory, the tax
paid upon three articles of agricultural
production will amount to $77,000,000 j
per year, oeing more man me amount on
the Secretary's sixteen articles above
mentioned. These calculations as to
wheat, cotton, and potatoes, 1 admit are
all absurd, but not more than those of the
Secretary of the Treasury.
Having failed this morning in my eftort
to get the floor to vindicate myself against
this attack, I have to avail mvself of this
the only mode leftfor its accomplishment.
A. STEWART.
EFFECT OF THE TARIFF UPON
THE CURRENCY.
We avail ourselves of the annexed par-
agraph, from the remarks of the Hon. An
drew Stewart, in defence of the Protec
tive Policy, as furnishing a happy illus
tration of the workings of the Tariff up
on the Currency. Let every one who
is seeking light upon this important sub
ject, read the following: Cumb. Civilian.
To show the effect upon the currency,
as well as agriculture, suppose the gentle
man from Virginia (Mr. Bayly j wants a
new coat; he goes to a British importer
and pays him twenty dollars, hard mon
ey, and hard to get. England takes none
of your rag money. A laugh. Away
it goes, in quick time. H e see no more
of it; as far as circulation is concerned.the
gentleman might as well have thrown it in
to the fire. I want a coat. I go to the
American manufacturer and buy $20
worth of American broadclo'.h. He wore
no other, and would compare coats with
the gentleman on the spot. A laugh)
Well the manufacturer, the next day,gave
it the farmer for wool; he gave it to the
shoemaker, the hatter, and blacksmith;
they gave it back to the farmer for meat
and bread; fc here it went from one to the
other. You might perhaps see his busy
and bustling $20 note five or six times in
the course of a day. This made money
plenty. But where was the gentleman's
hard money? Vanished; gone to reward
and enrich the wool-croweis and farmers,
shoemakers, hatters, and blacksmiths of
England. Now, I go for supporting the
American farmers and mechanics, and the
gentleman goes for the British that's the
difference. Can the gentleman deny it?
There are two sides in this matter, the
British and American farmers and me
chanics for the American market, and we
must decide which shall have it.
A LUDICROUS MISTAKE.
A Cincinnati grocery house, rinding
out that cranberries commanded six dol
lars per bushel, and, under the impression
that the article could be bought to advan
tage at St. Mary's wrote out to a customer
acquainting him with the fact, and re
questing him to send "one hundred bush
els per Simmons," (the wagoner usually
sent.) The correspondent a plain uned
ucated man, had considerable difficulty in
deciphering the fashionable scrawl com
mon with merchants' clerks of late years,
and the most important word, "cranber
ries," he failed to make out, but he did
plainly and clearly read o?ic hundred
byshels Persimmons. As the article
was growing all around him, all the boys
in ihe neighborhood were set to gathering
it, and the wagoner made his appearance
in due time in Cincinnati with eighty
bushels, all that the wagon bed would
hold, and a line from the country mer
chant that the remainder would follow
the next trip. An explanation soon en
sued, but the customer insisted that the
Cincinnati house shonlJ have written by
Simmons and not per Simmons.
Qtiincy, Illinois.
A travelling correspondent ol the Cin
cinnati Morning Advertiser, gives the fol
lowing interesting account of the new
"City" of the West:
Stopping a day at Quincy, 111. I was as
tonished to find so large and flourishing
a City, and withal so beautiful after you
have assended the high and rugged hill on
which it is based. The population ap
proaches 5,000, many of them Germans
in good circumstances. About 200 build
ings, mostly brick, and a large proportion
good sized and tasty private mansions and
business blocks were put up last year.
This year there is not much show of pro
gress. The country around is well cul
tivated, but I doubt if it has kept up with
the advancement of the town and especi
ally with the opening of shops and dry
good stores, which are very numerous.
The Public Square is justly entitled to
the high admiration of every stranger vis
iting the town, and the citizens may well
be proud of it, as they are. It comprises
probably three acres, neatly fenced in, set
out in beautiful shade trees, and carpeted
with a green sward. On the four sides
are as many streets, of good width, and
the whole Walled in with blocks of brick
and wood, tastefully erected, the more
distinguished of which are the Court house
on one side, a large and neat edifice, and
the "Quincy House" on anothor side,
which is very spacious, modern in archi
tecture, and kept in a superior style.
FR031 Till! All MY.
We have accounts from the Rio Grande
to the 1 0th instant, brought to New Or- j
eans by the steamship New York.
Gen. Taylor left Matamoras for Ca
manroon the morning of the 5th instant,
accompanied by about one-half the Tex
an regiment of infantry, and a few regu
lars. The American Flag says his de
parture was deeply regretted by all ranks
of the people, as he had much endeared .
himself to them by his frankness and ur-
0
banity.
Previous to his departure from Mata
moras Gen. Taylor had found it necessa
ry, in order to put a stop to outrages com
mitted at that place by persons under the
influence of drunkenness, to issue an or
der prohibiting the introduction of spirit
uous liquors into the city, and forbidding
the vending of them altogether after the
15th instant. In case liquors are seized,
they are sent to New Orleans and confis
cated. Wines, cordials, ale, Lc. are not
prohibited.
A skirmish had taken place near Ca-
margo between a large party of Indians
and some seventy-five or eighty rangers,
on account of depredations committed by i
the former, in which the Indians lost
some twenty men, and the rangers two.
Speaking of Gen. Taylor's movements
the Matomoras correspondent of the Pica
yune says :
Gen. Taylor and staffleave here to-day
for Camargo, and all the troops are to
leave by about the 10th instant. Gen.
Twiggs is left to superintend the move
ment of the troops now here and those
that are to arrive, for a while at least.
He is in execllent health, and was never
looking better. Col. Clark, of the 8th
infantry, will be left at this place in com
mand, after all the troops have been for
warded, and will have two companies of
artillery and one regiment of volunteers
under him. Gen. Twiggs, with Capt.
May's four companies of dragoons, and
Capt. Ridgely's battery of artillery, will
bring up the rear as the army moves lor
ward. Col. Hay's regiment of mounted
volunteers and Col. Johnson's regiment of
foot Texans are to inarch to-morrow.
All the regular troops now remaining
here, except Capt. May's and Ridgely's
commands, are also ordered to march to
morrow. It is expected that the army
will not move from Camargo before the
25th instant. I do not choose to express
an opinion on the probability of another
fight with the Mexicans, but I know it is
thought by many who will have a great
deal to do in the matter if one occurs, that
a fight, and a hard one at that, is before
them.
FROM THE NEW ORLEANS PAPERS.
Governor Henderson is received in the
the army as Major General. His staff
consists of General Lamar, Colonel Kin
ney, General Edward Burleson, and Ed
ward Clark.
Captain Walker is lying dangerously
ill at Matamoras. Sickness among the
volunteers is increasing.
The schooner Delaware, loaded with
coal for the navy, on the 6th instant, part
ed both chains and went ashore on Padre
Island vessel and cargo a total loss.
In conversation with a friend, Colonel
Twiggs lately remarked that the last shot
in Ihe Mexican war had hern fired.
This is more evidence, indirect, it is true,
that a pence has already been con
quered. Be that as it may, Gsn. Taylor
has more volunteers under his command
now than he well knows the disposition
he should make of them.
According to recent private advices
from Mexican citizens living at Monterey
to their friends at Matamoras, there are in
that vicinity about four thousand soldiers,
who can be concentrated on very short
notice at Monterey. This comprises all
the Mexican forces this side of the Sierra
Madre. Gen. Taylor's advices, which
are not, however, of quite so recent a date
sta'e that there are only about two hun
dred stipadores working on the fortifica
tions at that the city in question.
FROM THE GALVESTON NEWS OF AUGUST 11
Verbally, we learn that General Tay
lor has sent forward to Camargo all tne
troops intended for the campaign to Mon
terey, and has himself followed the last.
When Gen. Worth will take the lead
from Camargo we cannot certainly learn,
but presume the march will not much
longer be postponed. We can get no
very satisfactory information in regard to
the Mexican operations in the interior.
They are, however, represented to be in
small force at Monterey, engaged in forti
fiying that and other places, which they
will abandon the moment the American
array approaches. We hear nothing from
Very' few of the inhabitants left the
town of Camargo on the approach of the
United States troops, and between them
and the inhabitants a much better feeling
exists than was evinced in Matamoras.
The population of Camargo have always
been friendly disposed towards American,
and have permitted them to reside in tho ,
town and to travel to and Irom Uorpu
Christ! at their pleasure, before and sbca
tbe commencement cf hostilities.
From the papers it woutd appear that,
the camp at Matomoras continues very ,
healthy, but otherwise we learn that
much sickness prevails at the Brao
Island, on account of bad watfr, whera
the hospitals are crowded with inmates.
AVe learn from some of the officers that
the Texa3 infantry regiment is about be-
ing disbanded, and at the men composing.
it are organizing themselves into mounted
companies, whose services as such will,
be accepted, together with the mounted
regiments already at Camargo. These,
troops are believed to be absolutely nec
essary to Gen. Taylor, in order to mora
forward to Monterey.
from the matamoras "american flao."
Deprture of General Taylor.
Yesterday morning early "Old Rough and
Ready" left Matamoras for Camargo in
the steamer Whiteville, accompanied by
about one-half of the Texan regiment ot'
infantry and a few regulars. There waj
no announcement of his departure, no
firing of guns, nothing to indicate that so
conspicuous a personage as the comman
der of the American forces was about to
leave a place he had taken to assume tho
individual direction of his forces at anoih-
er point. He left while half the city wa3
wrapped in slumber, and, ere the sluggard
had quitted his couch, was many miles
upon his journey. This is characteristic
of the brave old veteran, for he would
rather face an enemy double in numbera
than hear the booming of the cannon and
the shouts of men paying homage to hia
well deserved tame. If we understand
Gen. Taylor rightly he is a man who
would travel twenty miles out of his way
rather than encounter a host ot friends
and admirers who had assembled to hon
or him by a public demonstation.
General Taylor, since the occupation
of this city by the Americans, has created
many warm and ardent friends, and his
departure will be much regretted. Ho
has endeared himself to the people by hii
many acts of kindness, snd first impres
sions are hard to be erased or superseded.
From Camargo. The steamer Bij
Hatchee arrived from above night before
last, in a remarkably short time, bringing;
some further particulars of the depreda
tions committed by the Indians, and an
account of a skirmish between them and
the rangers. There are a number of re
ports in circulation relative to the skir
mish, from among which we will state
that the Indians, after collecting a number
of horses, destroying several ranches,
started off with their booty, taking some
of the women with them a? prisoners.
A portion of McCullough's and Gilles
pie's companies united, strated in pur
suit, and overhauled the "spoils-incumber-ed"
savages. A fight ensued, in which,
the Indians lost some twenty men and
the rangers two, the latter bringing about
150 horses. The Indians numbered some
600, and 'he rangers 75 or 80. We havo
selected this as tha most probable account,
although it is doubted by many.
Murder. Yesterday morning-, about
1 o'clock, Jack Haynes was instantly
killed by a man named McCanan, a ran
ger bcnlonging to Tom Greene's compa
ny, from Lafayette, Texas.
Another. On the 30th ultimo, at
Burita, a member of Capt. Mclutosh's
company of Louisiana volunteers, named
Win. Overton, stabbed another of the
company named King, who died immedi
ately. Overton made his escape.
Caution. Passengers who came up
from Burita yesterday on the steamer En
terprise report having seen several dead
bodies floating in the river. Deeds of
blood are being perpetrated nightly some
where, and the victims cast into the river
to wash out all trace of the murderers.
We will again caution persons to beware
of getting drunk and exposing themselves
to the knife of the assassin. More mea
will fall by the assatsin's knife in Mexicj
than will ever be killed in battle.
FLATTERING FOR THE FAR
MERS. The New York Morning News (Lo
cofoco) says : The farmers in Michi
gan have got in but light crops of wheat,
which is not worth over 31 ccnt3 per

we were told would put up the prices cf
