be held as indemnity for the expenses or
the war, as "pay for heating the poker."
By taking possession of her frontier pro-
vinces, the rrcsiuem
trenhened Mexico, by relieving her
from "the necessity of keeping up troops
on her frontiers to hold ' in cbeck the
fierce and warlike savages of the North,
who were continually making hostile in
cursions, and robbing and murdering her
people. These Indians are now held m
check bv our troops, and Mexico has
withdrawn hers to strengthen her defen
'cos at home. The whole of these move
ments show conclusively that the ' pur
pose and policy, of the-President,: in the
commencement and prosecution of this
war, has been the acquisition of territory;
.end, although he may deny it in his mes
sage, who that looks to his acts can be
lieve him? Now, I submit to my friends
.in the South, in all kindness, I ask them,
ouwhtthey not to be satisfied? Have we
. not given them Florida at a cost of forty
millions? Have we no' purchased for
them. Louisiana, which . ha s . given them
four or five States; and have we not re
cently annexed Texas, which will give
them four or five more? -All these vast
.territories have been acquired, partly by.
the blood and treasure of the - North, and
have all been surrendered to the South;
and yet it seems that southern men are
not satisfied! Is this reasonable; is it
right? When we claimed the whole of
Oregon for tke formation of free States,
by a title declared by the President to be
'clear and unquestionable," yet nearly
one half of it was given up .by him. 1
.tell my friends in the South, that they
had better stop in. their. course of acquisi
tion, especially by conquest. If they
proceed, they will establish a geographi
cal line as a party line; and that will in
the end destroy this Union. Suppose
parties arc divided by geographical lines,
with northern .candidates and southern
candidates for the Presisential offices.-
Suppose the. north should triumph in the
'struggle; will thV south submit? We
are told they will not; that they will nul
lify and set up a government of their
own. But in a different result the North
might do the same thing. These arc
.fearful consequences; may they not fol
low the farther acquisition of territory by
conquest? These dangers may be re
mote; I trust they may never occur
that wisdom and moderation may forever
avert them t from our beloved country
but I fear nothing can stop them (if un
restricted territory is acquired by con
quest) from swallowing up in the
end all that is precious in our present
happy Union and free institutions. Such
are some of the sad consequences which
I fear will flow from this war, if its ori
ginal purposes and objects be carried
out. - .
This war which is to be prosecuted at
the sacrifice of ail the other great inter
ests of our country; for which. internal
improvements are to be arrested; private
claims vetoed and postponed; in sliort, we
are told by the President in his Message,
that no appropriations that are not abso
lutely indispensable, are to be made while U or, 40 produce the potato-rot in Ire

already expended in killing those misera- j of Europe, and produce a superabundant

Mississippi to the mouth of the Oregon;
it would have conferred countless bless

try in a thousand forms; but - instead of
this, what has it done, and what will it

the lives of many of our best men, by
"sickness and the sword it has made

standing army and pension list to rest like
an incubus upon the people for a genera-
tion to come, and perhaps in the end dis-
solve this Union, and with it destroy the
last, best hope of liberty on earth; and for
what? To gratify the lust of power
1 and the Justcf land the ravenous appe
tite of James K. Polk, to acquire terrilo-
ry not his own. and signalize his Admin
istration by the glories of war- .war!
" glorious war! upon a "weak, distracted,
and unhappy sister Republic and what
'for? She owed us a djbt of some two
or three millions, which she was too
poor to fry.. She acknowledged the
debt, and promised to pa' it as soon as
she covdd. Yet this is m'adc by the Pre
; sklent in his Message, the great and lead-
i;tg cause of war how magnanimous;
how g!oricu! Wc lookTexas she ac-q-nicrcrd.
Not satisfied, Mr. Polk, de
termines to have California. Tie sends
Mr. Slidell lo purchase it they offer to
treat with him as a commissioner, . but
not as a mimstlu which they said im-
: plied relations of amity 'and friendship
which did not ; exist. Mr.'-Tolk would
not yield the point, or change. thel.NAME
from minister to commissioner, which, if
done, might have prevented this war with
al all Uj horrors;; but rather than yield
this point of etiquette, he ordered Mr Sli
dell home, and immediately, and without
consulting Congress then ia ; session, or
dered Gen. Tayior to march, to the Rio
Grande, blockaded that river, and brought
on taa war. Up to thisi time what-, had
Mexico done?- Had she invaded Texas
since' its annexation?' No. Had 'she
committed any act of hostility?5 None -none
whatever. -None; is pretended; yet
we are to exterminate Mexico and revel
in the. Halls .of the- Montezumas, ' and
prosecute this Executive war at an ex
pense of millions of money, and oceans
of blood ia it right! before God and
man, 3s.it right? - : ' ' -'-- - ' -,;!
Aud. to enable the President to prose
cute this glorious war, he has- sent us a
message, which has jut been received and
rca I bylhe clerk, recommending the im
position of duties on tea and coffee. - - In
his message, at the commencement -of the
1 session,-lie spoke equivocally on' this
point; but, as the revenue has fallen grCat
ly short: the last quarter, up to the first
of January, having yielded only $3615,''
000; less than it has been for many years
past, he has :at length come out : and as
sumed the responsibility of avowing him
self in favor of a tax on tea and coffee, as
a revenue measure; last session the doc
trine of the Secretary, and ol the Admin
istration, was that the 'eduction of duties
increased the revenue; but now, finding a
plentiful lack of revenue, they propose to
do what? ltudure the duties still. fur
ther? Not at'all. -Hunger is very apt
to bring peopla to their senses. i And
now they have at last admitted the truth
of the -Whig doctrine, that the Way to
get an increase of revenue is to increase
the duties. This is quite new as a Dem
ocratic doctrine.' Mr. Polk did . not use
to think so. At one time he was Tor ''des
troying the whole system of internal im
provements, . because it . furnished "a
sponge," to absorb the surplus, and keep
up a high tariff. . -'
But now he has found out another sponge,
his extravagance and war furnish a sponge
large chough to absorb all the revenue,
and even as much more. ,Now, when he
finds tnc revenue insufficient when he
discovers that the tariff is too low hav
ing taken the duties off luxuries, he pro
poses to tax tea and coffee. That is now
Democratic doetirine. The tiriff of '46
takes duties off of the luxuries of the rich
and, to make up, it is proposed to tax the
I necessaries of the poor; the tariff of '42
imposed high duties on luxuries, and no
duties at all on tea and coffee. "
(Mr. Cobb here inquired what duties
on luxuries had been reduced by the tar
iff of 184G?) . ;
-Mr. S, said lha list was long, he could
not recollect them all, , but since he was
called on, he would give the gentleman., a
few, and he would first mention brandy,
and spirits distilled from grain. '" The du
ty on these, under the tariff of '42, was
102 per cent.'; which; Mr.' Tolk, and his
omniscient 'Secretary, reduced, by "the
larin of '46 sixty-two per ; cent Under
the tariff of '42, "the revenue derived from
brandy and distilled spirits was $1,G23,
000 on the importations , of I8t5.; 'Uu
der the tariff of 4b"' the'' duties' on' the
same would be but $1,101,000; showing
a loss of revenue on brandy and distilled
spirits alone of $423,000. and this loss' is
now to be made up by a duty on tea and
coffee; and this is Democratic policy to
take duties ofTthe rich man's brandy, T
rish whiskey, and Holland gin, and put
them on the poor". mail's tea and : cof
fee! If yon want more money for your
war, go back and restore these duties on
brandies and foreign spirits, and other
luxuries, and then talk about taxing the
necessaries of life. .fiv';: ;; -
. (Mr. Cobb here inquired whether the
tariff of '.1846 had not raised the price of
American grain?) ; . :
Sir. S. said, after the .Yankee fashion.
he would., answer, the gentleman's ques
lion by asking him another; Did; the tar-
1 4o -nad about as much to do j with the
price of grain, as it had with the rising
and setting of the sun no more. 1 u,',t;
, Mr. S. srpposcj the gentleman had
been studying Mr.; Walker's lafe pro
found tariff tables, in .which hq stated
hat the 'price of-grain in. the United
States had increased, from the first of Ju
ly to the first of December last, 115 mil
lions of dollars, which he attributed to
the tariff of .'46,: although it all took
place under the tarifl . of '42, that ol '46,
not having then commenced its operation.
But, I repeat, all his boastings about the
increase of prices goes on . the presump
tion that the tariff of 46 produced the
potaco-rot in Ireland, short crops abroad,
and great crops at home. - i , .
Mr. Cobb next inquired, what had rai
sed the price rf cotton?
Mr. S. . Was iuhe tariff of 46? -What
had it to do with cotton? He would tell
the gentleman it was a ' short crop. ' The
last crop or cotton, he understood jiad fal
len short fully one third; while the de
mand was increasing, at home and abroad,
a diminished supply, and an increased de'
mand.Tad, as it always would, increased
the price of cotton as of every thing else.
. But, since the gentleman from Georgia
had called his attention to cotton he
would remind the gentleman of what the
Secretary of the' Treasury, Mr.' Walker,
had said on this 'subject. He ? said we
must take more British goods,1 or, 'if we
did not, usbe would have to pay us spe
cie for our RREADSTUFFS, ' and, not having
it to spare, she would bring' down the
price of our cotton." ": This is the doc
trine of the -'Secretary: 'Now, .sir look
at the facts. In this; same report Mr;
Walker states that, f in 1 845, ' we ,took
" 15,600,000 worth of British goods,while
she took but $154,236 worth of our bread
stuff (35,355 barrels of flour, 2,010
bushels of wheat, and one barrel of corn
v.
meal;) yet ; we are told officially that we t
must' take more than forty-millions 01
British'goods, 'or she will have to pay us
'pecier(i54,O00)Tor our broadstufis, and,
not having it to spare; will jeduce the
price of 4ocr cotton! 1" '.Why, sir, it is
mathematically" tmc; that, 'if one-tenth
part of the value "of British goods con
sists' of "ihe: 'brea(istnfTs" ' consumed ' by
the labor '. employed iii the "production ol
the raw materials,; arid afterwards in con
averting thc'm' nito goods, -then we impor
ted in' 1845, 30 .times as"Tnnch British
breadstuffs' in the form' of ; goods as she
took from us in its' raw condition; for in
stance,' in 1 8 1 5 wc 'i m ported ; $ 1 5,600,-
00 'worth' of her coodsi one-tenth : of
which s'$4;560,000, : while she took but
$154,236 worth of our breadstuffs, being
about one-thirteenth parf. "Assuming that
onr-tenth of the "value of goods consists
of breadstuffs. (and he believed This was
short of the real amount,)1 and this result
is undeniable. 1 et gentlemen are con
stantly boasting of the importance of the
English markets for American breadstuffs;
and thisin fact, constituted the great top
ic of both the late message and Treasury
report: And he would here state a' fact
that would astonish the American peo
ple, : and especially- the farmers of this
countrv. It was fair that for the last 25
years, from 1821 to 1846,' while M-e, im
port from forty to fifty millions of dollars'
worth of goods from GreatBritain per
annum, she took but one million of dol
lars worth of all the provisions and bread
stuffs of this country. The fact was es
tablished by a table which he had made
from the official reports on commerce and
navigation, from their commencement, in
1821, down to this time, which he had
already revised and corrected by. the li
brarian of this House, and .which he in
tended to append to his speech. But
the gentleman's interruption had with
drawn his attention from the subject he
was discussing. When interrupted; he
was enumerating some of the luxuries on
which tne duties had been reduced by the
tariff of ''46; he had mentioned brandy
and spirits. The next item, T though
small, iserved to show the spirit and poli
cy of that law; he referred to cards.r "The
duty on visiiing "cards had been reduced
from 80 to 30 per centM and on playing
Cares from . 257 to 30 per cent. ' They
take seven-eighths of the tax off playing
cards,' and put it on tea and coffee; and
this was Democratic policy, the policy of
the tariffof '46. The duties by this act
had been reduced on crown and cut glass,
chandeliers, &c Used by the rich, from
00 to 30 per cent.; on pimento, cloves,
cassia ' dates, &c, from 60 to 80 down
to 40 per cent.; on ready-made clothing,
from 50 ' to 30; on silk hats and shoes,
from 50 to 30. . . : ' .v
The duties on all these luxuries, and
many others : consumed by. the rich, are
thus, reduced, in most -instances; more
than onerhalf; and then the Secretary and
President turn round and ask us to tax
tea and coffee. , No, sir, let .them restore
and increase the duties on' luxuries, and
then, if-they ha vj nr I revenue enough, let
them talk"sbuut duty on tea and coffee.
Let them restore th? three-and-a-half mil
lions iof revtv .hey have lost by the
reduction of tlu billies on cotton goods;
the two millions on iron and its manufac
tures; the million and a half ' they have
lost on sugar; the million on woollens,
and the million and a half on silk goods'.
Let them restore these protective and re
venue duties--restore the nine and a half
millions taken off these five articles. " Let
them restore the $432,000 taken off bran
ch and spirits. Let them do this, and then
talk to us a!but a duty' on tea and coffee.
He asserted that, with some modification,
the tariff of 42 could be made to yield
forty millions, not only without prejuifice,
but with positive benefit . and advantage to
thc-country; -rot by doubling the - duties,
as av the commencement of the last war,
btit simply" by " increasing the duties on
luxuries, arid some others," for revenue
und protection, extending them to some of
the articles made free by the tariff of ?42,
and making them specific ' Such a tariff,
while it would give ample revenue and
protections would truly "cover the coun
try -with benefits and 'blessings," restore
prosperity to every branchof the national
industry, put ihe country upon its own
vast and undeveloped resources; and give
this : Administration abundant means to
sustain the public credit at this fearful cri
sis in our affairs. This was WTliir poli
cy;' ; this --was- ihe measure the W'higs
would adot if they had the power,'Tn-,

CONSUMITION CURED.
33) The following letter is from a high
ly respectable merchant, 'dated 1
Lew i s to w n N Y .7.Sc p t . 1 0, 4 4 .
Dr. D Jyne. Dear Sir: It is said by
Physicians, and is by the mass of man
kind believed, that Consumption cannot
be curedthai when once it becomes
seated iu the human system, nothing can
eradicate or stay' its progress, but ' thai it
will continue the work of destruction un
til its victim sinks into the grave. "
. - lUweyer true this mav be in theory, I
am disposed to drjnbt it in fact; indeed,
my own experience, and n'desire to bene
fit" others, compels me to pronounce the
assertion untrueV. You will p.nbably
recollect, sir,' that in; the beginning of
1840 I wrote lo yon staling that I had
the Consumption and that it was fast
thurrying me to the grave. I did not
.lhen, nor do I now doubt, every symptom
was too painfully visible. My Pliy
fsicians considered nie incurable, but the
ad vice which 1 asked of yu was given,
and I am happy to 'say that; by using a
few bottles of jour incomparable medi
cine the Expeerorant, I was restored,
and never in my life have I enjoyed belter
or more uninterrupted health than since
thal time.. If you should see me now,
you would not imagine' by my appear
ance that I' had ever been sick, much
less that I had b id the Consumption, but
that I am still Jiving, I ascribe wholly and
entirely to youc Expectorant. 1 ' ;

The cures performed by Wistar's
sam of Wild Cherry, are really aston
ishing to the world. 1
The following we have just . received
from Messrs. Joslin and Rowe, Drug
gists, in Newark in tin's Slate, to whom
it was C0'nmnniated by John Wimcr,
Esq. a citizeu of Burlington, Licking
county, Ohio.
Eurllnzfoiu O. Dec 1, 1S4J.
iMessrs. Joslin & Rowe At- your re
quest I herewith transmit to you a state
ment of the case of Mrs, Wimer and
child, as near as 1 am able to communi
cate, which ywu are at liberty to publish
if you see fit, as I feel a desire to inform
the world of the effects of the. invaluable
midinne called Wistar's B;i!am of WiM
Cherrv, lo whic!;, by the Divine bless
ing, I am indebted for the restoration to
health of my wife anw' child.
About five years ago Mrs. Winter was
"attacked wiih a violent couoh, pain in tl,
chest and side and symptoms of :ipproa
ching consumption. During the interval
from that lime to some time in Februarv
last, she had been treated by eminent
physicians from Uiica, Sylvania, Homer
Chatham and Newark, and with only
partial relief of the most urgent symp
toms. About one year sgoshe caught a
violent , cold, which seated upon the
lungs, producing an alarming aggrava
tion of all her previous systems. Her
physician was sent fcr, and despite bis
best afforts she began to sink rapidly un
der her disease. Cough, expeeterant.
and hectic, together with night sweats
soon reduced her to a complete skeleton.
In February last her - attending physi
einn deemed her case altogether hope
less; a rouncil was called, and -ufter tls
liberaiing upon her case unanimously
pronounced her ,to be beyond the reach
of means, and expressed their opinion
that she could survive but a short timei
one or tao weeks at farthest. She was
at this time entirely confined to her bed,
and scarcely ib!e to articulate, except in
a whisper. Her daily proxysm; of
coughing would last uninterruptedly from
ihree to five hours, and so severe that we
expacted every proxysui would be hr
laat. . . '
The physians in council pronocuccd
her lungs, liver, kidneys, spine and mu
cus membrane of the stomach to be incu
rably diseased.
It was at this last extremity that wa
happened to obtain a pamphlet describing
Dr. Wistar's Bahnm of Wild Cherry, as
applicable lo lung affections. We irnme
diatfly sent to you and procured a bottle,
and commenced its use at evening by
giving her one teaspoon full, and "such
was the surprising effect that she was a
ble to. pass a comfortable night without
experiencing any: paroxysm of couching;
and such was its ultimate effect, that,' af
ter taking five bottles, she was, contrary
to the expectations of her physieinns and
every one who saw her, enure restored
to health, and 'since last summer has
done the entire work of the fami'v.
' After the last attack cf Mrs. Wimer,
our youngest child, then an infant at th
breast, was taken down and npitJIy sink
ing with the S3ine symptoms as its mo
ther, and having seen the h ippy effects
in the case of the mother, we were dis
posed to make a trial of it for the child,
and it was attended with the same ptr
feet sticcess.
The above statement can be attested
by our physician as well as our neigh
bors and acquaintances,' who saw Mrs.
Wimer during the course of her sick
lies?. -Yours truly.
JOHN WIMER.
