Mr. John Qutshal, sitnate.in the southern pan.

tool-chesls broken open and rahs'aoked, and'ra
gpeait many valuable tools carried oil'. This
was a moat daring robbery, and wo truat tho
perpetrator of it may yet ho discovered and
brought to condign punishment;-: ■ Thb'tools
stolen belonged principally to the journeymen
l,i the employ of Mr. G., and .we deeply sympa
thize with them in their loss, as they caii illy

TARIFF—TARIFF-—TARIFF !.
The. Republican and Know-Nothing papers
of this State,-since the election,.have ohahged
their political song, and instead of singing-hos
anas to the “down-trodden African,” they now
can think of■ nothing and talk of nothing but
't-he'tnriff. We predicted, before the election,
that pur opponents would open a new set of
books,-abd adopt new principles immediately
after their defeat. But, notwithstanding we
mado-this prediction, we confess wo did not ex
pect them to become tho advocates, at this ear
ly of a principle against which they so re
ocntly had set llfeir faces. A high protective
t ar j(j_ a ' jarifTamounting almost to prohibition—
was long advocated by the old Sfrbig party. —
Ttie men of'that party believed in tho
‘and zealously did they advocate'and defend it.
The Whig organization was strong in nearly
every State of the Union, and, without recoun
ting the errors it committed, it was at least a
national party, and many of it s leaders were great
and patriotic men. But the Whig party is
no more—it is dead and buried. Who killed
oil the Whig party, and consigned ite-princi
ples and its banners to the tomb ? The Know-
Nothings- And aflor. the Know-Nothings had
forced The Whig parly to strike its colors, what
principles were advocated by 'the now party ?
Did they continue to advocate a tariff? Not
they, for their party was composed of the fag
ends of all- parties, and it so happened that
most of-the leading men belonging to the Know-
Nothing faction wero-free-trade men, and op
posed to any kind ofp-tariff. The Know-Noth
ing papers invited rill men of American birth
to join them, and we remember very well that
(ho Harrisburg Telegraphy in its appeals for
converts tothe new party*, assured them that
they could join the’ Know-Nothing organiza-
lion, without any sacrifice of their political
opinions, and that the protectionist and the
free-trader, were to he placed on an equal foot
ing ia the night-owl party. Indeed, the Know-
Nothings repudiated all principles held by the
old parties, and supported.for office, with equal
zeal, tariff men and anti-larift men, abolitionists,
and anti-abolitionists. So it was clear (hat the
Know-Nothings cared nothing for the tariff
nothing for anything but their bum aggrandize
ment. • '• . ; .
.But, (lie Know-Nothing party bad but a
short..existence—its notorious dishonesty and
corruption opened the eyes of the people to,its
true character, and it was forced.tosuccumb.to
Black Republicanism. Sambo was appointed
commander-in-chief ol the second .new; party,
in the place of the dismissed Sam. And what
principles’diduhe Black Republicans contend
for? Did they ask for a high (arid? No!
On the contrary they broke ground in favor of
free-trade,!’ Their . first, act in Congress was
to elect Mr. Banks, a free-trade man, Speaker,
and Banks appointed liKWis D. Campbell, ano
ther frecdrode Black Republican," Chairman
Of the Committee .of, Ways and Means, and
C.
la.mtbell introduced a bill which reduced the
duties on goods coming into the United States
iclow those of Ike act of 1846!, He offered his
bill as a substitute for the tariff of 1846, and
that was passed . by. llie Black Republican
House,of Representatives; and'wept into opera
tion without a niurmer from the opposition
.press, on the Ist of July last.; The ‘tarifivof
1846. was thus-repealed, and-has not .been in
operation' for the last four months, and in its
stead is the tariff.aot introduced by CAMi'iiiiix,
and. which approaches nearer the frie-t rade
standard than any tariff we have’ ever had.—
.Another evidence that .the Republicans prefer
ed frtu-trado to a protective tariff, was made
tnanifest.whcn they mmtina|cd WiLJior, a free
trader, as their candidate for Governor in this
St-atct ;
But, .now that the people have repudiated
and condemned bol'fi Know-Nolhingisra pnd
Black B-cpublioanism, our opponents, all-at
"’once, have become great advocates of a high
i protective’ tariff, arid would make the people be-,
lieve that the present monetary embarrassment
of the country ta.owmg to what they term .the
’“free-trade policy of the Democratic-party!’’—
What a consistent set of fellows our opponents
are, lo be-sure! When they arc-in power they
advocatt free-trade doctrines, and support free
trade men for high offices, but when out of pow-
er they change their tano and pretend to be fa
vorable to tt high protective tariff! ' . .
But, w6,ask, is.it the opera*ion of the tariff,
or is it (ho batiks that have caused the present
panic in the country ? The New-Fork Herald,
a paper known to be hostile to the
‘party, answers the question to the satifaction
of every candid mind. We quole as follows:
“The old Whig:parly hue and cry against a
low tariffiis raised again'its the cause of, our
late excessive importations; .Even the Info free
trade David Wilmot. of Pennsylvania; fakes up
this'ory against thelow-tariff of ’4(3 us tbe'eause
of the present revulsion ; but we cannot concur
with these high tariff philosophers in this solu
tion of the financial troubles that havoso thick
ly come upon its. No- 'Wc cannot trace them
to the (arill of ’46; but, we can,trace them to
the banks and.stock jobbers, ,the railroad and.
land speculators, the fashionsrflummeries, fop.
peries, nincompoopcries, extravagances, vani
ties, licentiousness, rogueries, defalcations, em
bezzlements, forgeries, frauds, pet juries, and;
all other rascalities of a wide-spread.demorali
zation among men and women,’Saints and.sin
ners—from puritanical' Boston to Sabbath
breaking New Orleans. ,
These arc tho putent causes of the present,re
vnlsion, and a Hundred, per cent, tariff, against
these terrible evils of the times; would have been
as powerless as a row boat 'in the rapids of the
Niagara. Millionaire railroad jobbers,, stock,
jobbers, land jobbers, banks, speculators, pec
ulators and forgeries, fast young men, fast old
men, fast horses, brandy, billiards, and, faro.
French gewgaws, fashionable rivalries in was
ting money, and all such rubbish, stuff and
abominations, have done the business} The
tariff of ’46 can’t be made the scapegoat, of the
revulsion of 'S7. Wo, have' been' enjoying a
high carousal, and are’now'called upon to foot
the bills. That's all.
‘ C/? The Utica (H. Y.) Observer, says, at

still unharvested, owing to the scarcity ofhelp,

state of things exist. That is really 100 bad,
while there are so many thousands out of cm,

TEBV TRUE. 0
The Washington Union has furnished, for
several weeks, leading editorial articles upon
banking—its uses and abuses. The following
is from one of tho.editorials to; and al
though expressing nothing but general propo
sitions; are so admirably stated, we cannot de
ny them a re-print: “ The liberties of a peo
ple dO not depend oh laws, and constitutions so
much ns on themselves. If they arc turbulent,
dcbaucli’od or servile ; if they have not the in
telligence to discern and the courage to resist
all abuses of authority at every risk, they may
have the best laws nhd the-best constitution
ever devised by the-wit of man or the wisdom,
of inspiration, and it will little avail ; for there
will come in time, in the progress of every na-'
jlion, a crisis when there will be iio nllernntivo
but that of resistance or subjugation. If they
are ignorant, they will be blind to llic sly, in
sidious approaches of despotism ; if they are
cowards, they will shrink from the assertion of
their rights at tho risk of their persons; if they
are debased by ,a habit of dependence, they will
gradually sink into obedient slaves ; if they are
incapable of self restraint, ihcy.nro unworthy
of the great trust of governing others ; and if
money is their god, they will sell tlu-ir'liherties,
as the Pretorian Guards sold the imperial dia
dem, to the.highest bidder. Never lot the peo
ple of the United Slates flatter themselves they
can preserve their liberties when they have lost
the virtues by which they Were acquired.
“ To one not hardened into insensibility or
indifference by long practice, debt is the heavi
est of all burdens except remorse, and consc
quently the des're to got rid of it increases that
impatience for the acquisition of money which
is the common characteristic of ■ civilized mSn,
whose superiority consists principally in the.
number of artificial wants originating in a high
slate of refinement, and the arts necessary.Jto
their gratification. 'The debtor naturally wish
es to relieve himself from this State of depend
ency bn the will of another, and in order to do
so, is seduced ijjlo the adoption of means which"
hie otherwise Would not have 'resorted to .had he
ndt been thus led into temptation.
His love of money is aggravated by his ne
cessities, and tb obtain it becomes the sole ob:
ject of" his life. He is degraded, into an abject
worshipper of Mammon, arid grovels at. the,
hoofs of the golden calf, Now, nothing, we
think, s is more logically demons! rateddhan lhat
mankind are the staves of the master passion,
aridThijil when that passion is the love of mon
ey they will sacrifice everything to ils gratifi
cation. i In pursuit of this, their greatest good,
they will be pronp to lose sight of thc.obliga-
tionsbf truth, justice and charity; their patri
otism! will become subservient to the master
passion,, and they wilt* - sell the priceless hies
sings- of liberty if they cart dispose of them to.a
profit- ,\Vc- have always, observed that turn
out of, debt were, ns a 'general rule, less greedy
of. the acquisition of money, and-more scrupu
lous in adopting the means for its attainment,
than those,.to whom it was indispensable to
preserve them from disgrace and ruin. Hence,
a nation of debtors can never become a nation
of patriots, since patriotism consists in sacrifi
cing alb selfish considerations tb the good of
our country. That our banking, system; by
"affording sothany facilities tor runiling. In.debt,
has indefinitely multiplied the class of debtors,
must, we think, bo evident to all who take the
trouble to trace effects to their causes.”
The Forthcoming message.
The special Washington correspondent of
Col. Forney’s Press says, it is rumored that
Mr. Buchanan, in his first annual message to
CohgVcss, will take bold ground on.-the curren
cy question ; that he will re-afflrm the princi.
■pics' laid down. so clearly in bis celebrated;
Speech on the Indcpedcrit Treasury Bill. He 1
believes that it was the intention of the framers
of the Constitution to establish a hard-moriey
currency, and that the action of. Congress since.
has been a steady departure from that inten
tion. It will be his object, then, to retrace the
false steps taken, and to bring the Government
back to the.Wuo ground. ; ’
The issue will be made in the next Congress,
whether State batiks have the, constitutional
power to .issue circulating “promises to pay.*’
There'will be a large parly to take the negative
of;, (be argument, 'who.will not, it is said, yield

~ THE SWINDLING BASES.
The Philadelphia- Argus says that tho most
distressing eases'of bankruptcy, caused by the
rottenness of some of our banking institutions,
are daily,coming to our knowledge. We saw
one of our "prominent fellow r -citizcus, one whom
we all delight to honor, passing aldug-one of
our princ : pal streets a day or two, ago, looking
depressed and nearly heart-broken. We .have
just Heard the cause. He liad, invested the
earnings and savings of a long life of imlustii
oiis attention to business, in- one of the bank
rupt swindling shops of this city, and finds
himself not worth scarcely a dollar in the
world. His whole property is swallowed’up
in the htst of cormorants and vultures, which
have so long preyed upon the prosperity
and happiness of the nation. A correspondent
of tho True American, writing from this city,
has the following : [.
■ "'rhe great and overshadowing excitement of
the day is the Blink of Pennsylvania exposure.
The frauds alleged against thelate President are
of the most astounding character, and seem
incredible in a man so universally esteemed and
respected. It appears, from the facts elicited
thus far, that. Mr. Allibone had unchequcd con
trol of all the business of the bank, and used
its funds at his own good pleasure. The Com
mittee of Investigation have made but litl.e
progress ns yet, owing to the .confusion in
which they found the affairs of the Institution.
The bills receivable have been purloined from
the clerk charged with their custody, and sold
upomhe streets ; the books of the bank arc all
falsi lied,'and the directors unable to throw any
light Upon these dark transactions. Mr. AlM
bone has taken hundreds of thousands of dor
lars from the bank, without the knowledge of
the directors, and wiihoiit security. And yet,
up to tliG yctv moment of bis for

MADISON,
BORtf MAiidn IGrii, 1751.
Died June 28t/t, 1836;
, ' The appearance of the coffin and corpse is thus
described:
In digging for a Suitable foundation, it be
came necessary to go below the coffin, which
was consequently exposed to view. The boards
placed above the coffin had decayed ; but no*
earth had fallen upon it, and everything ap
peared to'be as when the coffin was deposited l
t here, except that the coffin lid was slightly out
of place allowing a partial view of the interior’.
As there were no fastenings to prevent, the part
of the lid covering the superior portion of the
body- was raised, and the several gentleman
present looked in upon theßemains of the great
Virginian. The coffin itself, of black walnut,
was in perfect preservation, and the interior
was nearly filled with a species of moss, which
adhered tenaciously.lb the wootf.
Beneath this, .and partly 7 hidden by it, were
a few., of the larger and harder hones. The low
er. jaw had fallen away, the bones of the breast
and the ribs were gone, and the only parts of
the skeleton \ which remained Were the skull
and .portions of the cheek bones, the vertebral
of the neck, the spine «nd the large bones of the
arm, AH else of the Upper part-of the body
had returned to the dust from wlicnce it was
taken, and in a years more every .trace of
the body, will disappear, until the trump ol the
resurrection'shall reunites’the. scattered parti
cles: The body, had been interred just iwenty
one years'..
On reaching sufflciehlly, 'firm ground, the
foundation .was commenced and built; up as
two walls, one each side of: the coffin,'until it
•reached a'sufficient height, evhen.it was arched
over the coffin,.and.then built up solid to the
surface, thus forming a vault, in which rest the
remains of Madison, precisely beneath the cen
tre of the monument. The foumiaiion eras
made.of hard surface Slone, gathered of the
Montpelier farm, within a short distance of the
grave yard. ;
