Loeo'Foeo Trickery.` '
In btst l Saturday's JOurniil; we published the
proceedings of the . Loiefotelneetitig at Orwige,
bqtg; and accompanied., ante . with a few hasty
remarks. As far as we arevoneerned, we would
•
be. ;
perfectly willing to let the matter rest here,
but knowing that the whole affair was concocted
fiM the tspeCial purpose of huinbugging the peo
ple, we have thought proper to refer to several
points contained ire., the Preamble, omitted in our
crunmcnts of last week , one of which is the fol
.

••
. . i,. Net more than two years since, We 1.. ere told by
these very men, who at that time roe nod to all
manner of fraud and deectiiion toe!evato themselves:
thit the moment it was aiecitained t at a Whig
President and Congress were elected confidence
wield at once be restored—the price oflour produce
and labor would immediately rise—heal ess of .eitify
description would behrisk and fiourishir g , and, pm
thing would be wanting to make us a p
~ eperous and
happy people." 4
- .
, This is the .charge,and the infer nce is that
the 'Whig 'party, by these promises, h , ve imposed
upon and deceived the peol.le. We now appeal
to every honest and impartial mean, this region,
I I
"whether every pledge, therein.. con ained, was
not, as far as Whig agency is cloneed,-fulfilled
to the letter. Is it not notorious the , immediate
ly after the electiOn of * the lament Harrison,
'every Portion of. usiness assumed appearance
typical of increasing and certain p osperity I—,
Confidence was restored—the pri of produce
Intl labor immediately rose,-and unt t il it was as
certainbd that the imbecility of his sficcessor had
i i
yielded to Locofoco machinations, every promise
was being verified—and turther, ev Trainee this
i shameful seduction, bavb the Wig party in
'Corigreiikat.ruggled ,unflinchingly M I their posts,
never yielding one jot of the princip es for which
they at first: contended. The argument contain
ed-in such charges is puerile and unmanly.—
. Locofoeo policy joined to Free Trade doctrinism,
striated by their joint toot, the President, having
placivicinsurmountable barriers to every Measure
uppkvijiich Whig ,promises are based, it is as
- foolish, as it is unfair, to ask them for the fulfill
went of their pledges, Another complaint is the
following: ,
Look at tbeirlate tyrranical dpportionnient net—
' our own state deprived of her usual representation in
oaf national council; and com'nanded to elect the.
small number of repriientatives allowed her, not in
the way son had heretofore been - accustomed, but in
a particular mode pointed out by tho net." •
We give the above only tit the purpose of show-
,ing how desperate that game must he which m
iles iipon such frail props for support. It is true;
that Ma representation of Pennsylvania has been
*decreased (which may, lie q bitter pill for, some
"few office seekers,) - but have not all the States suf
fered impartially I end was not this an unavoida
..blc result . of increasing the ratio of representation?
The,latter portion of the' chargj, however, is more'
amusing on account nt its evident simplicity.
The. mode of election is not (as is alleged) in , any,
respect iiltcred.. We baize always elected by die;
'Milts, and a special clause in the act referred to.
'provide* . fir a continuance of the very. same
,method.
We tivet - Myr done with the Loco Foco meet

driwning eagerness,with:whVch they grasp at ev

Inimediately after the late riots in,Philadelphia
we noticed in the Papers of that city; that the
Grand Jury had presented the Terttperance Hall,
in Bedford Street, as a nuisance: Since thOn the
building has ben torn- down by the 'Commission
ers of Moyamensing, in obedience to an order of
the Court. At the time, we supposed it .to'be
an old delapidated stiucture; which from danger
of falling, or 'some other cause, it Nires 4:lamasery
to - havo.removed. But the case proves to be en
tirely. differenit the edifice was erected about
three years since for benevolent purposes, arid
has been used as a church, but principally at a
room for Teniperance Lectures. ft has proved
of great benefit to that portion of the city, nearly
one thousand persons have signo their total
abstinence pledge, and it is stated, that fifty-two
unlicensed diam-shops have been already-sup
pressed" thiongh 'their' laudable exertions.. And
yet this sagaious Grand Jury haslpresented this
building as al nuisance, in consequence, as we are_,
informed, ofthr - ocits having
, beenlftteredagainst
it, subsequent to the riots. As & precedent, such
an act is fradght with the very world consequen
ces; it is nothingless than a iegaliied• mob, attic
ing:' aeirwo're, in. their indecent fiasco, to antici
pate the destruction with which their no less cul;
pablo brethren• had threatened it. Actions like
this, hold out not only an example, but a bounty

That &city like Philadelphia should calmly wit

such a 'proceedint, and that the press of that
city should quietly sanction it, is; we must con
fess, a paradox to us: The name of every mem

NORTH Cali°Lisrs.--In this, State the Whip

Legislature on joint ballot. This is peculiarly
unfortunate—as a' United Stales Senator must be

States Senator to be elected, Which tenders the
contest of l eonsiderable importance with regard'to
the Legislature. The fittest information was re- .

ALA n4mA.—ln Mobile the whole Whig Tick:
et for the Legislalure was elected. Partial re
turns- from counties represent a Whig gain
-but they have no hope of revolutionizing this
State.
,Ixxisc4s.--The returns, as far as mewed from
this State; exhibit an ini - reased gain for the Loco
o party. This was expected.
Taking the returns, all in all, with the excep
tion of North Carolina, they are quite as favora
ble as could lie expected .tinder-the present Mate.
of offaini. Betrayed and disappointed,- as the
whige havd been, it is hardly to be expected
that they would rally in their full strength iit'this
period.
Some' ny that John Tyler would sign the Tar
iff' Bill ft it was seperated from the Land Bill—
John Tyler does not say that ho will—but on the
contrary i does he not intimate that Ite will not sign
it r eVen if the separation was to take place. In
addition' to this,' hear what the Madisonian, his
manta ige:a, says :
" Let Congress repeat the Distribution law. (or sus
...pend it for twenty years, till the national debt is. paid,).
;nnd passuch a revenue - bill as the President recent
mended and the welfare of the tuauufasturing, as well
'as other 'classes, will be fixed on a permanent basia.

Did he not veto his own Bank Bill which Con

if sepiTted from the Land question—unless they
"pass s uch if Revenue Bill the Piesident re

*he Made the connection between the Lend and
the Tariff Bill I The connection was proposed
by a friend of John Tyler in Congress—every Ty
ler man and babe° voted for it, in opposition to
the Whige—but • unfortianately st that time they
• ,
were no l t strong enough to prevent it—and John
Tyler,only sanctioned the connectiop by sign
ng,thia'Bill—but it was intimated that he would
not si gn itunleas the connection was made. Now
he venies the Rpmnue Bill on the ground that the
connexion exists." Is Congress to change when

business was transacted at the Extra, and at, the

present •Eession of Congress, than there were
by any two other sessions for the last thirty
years. In support of this insertion we quote the
following from some remarks on title subject,
made by John Quincy Adams, on Saturday last.
No person will dispute the'authority :
"No Ca cress, in the history ut the United
Sthtes had'' done more than the present for the
country. - Ile could not'approvo of all that had
been done, and what bad been done,! 'and what
had beech ill done he hoped would be reversed and
done better. But Congress had done all in its
power.
1} bad passed a Bank bill once'andagain and
once and again it' had been tripod. It had pre
pared fur the vacuum' also of I lack of revenue,
in consequence of the time . approaching for the
operation of the compromise act. The hopes of
the country were blasted by the repetition, of the
veto; This day, this moment, the speaker had
given his signature to a revenue bill. If the Pres
ident would sign this bill he predicted the best
consequences to the country. The public 'pets°
would beat quicker: and not twenty-four hours
would pies before there would be evidence of
returning, prosperity. In connection With the
treaty, it Would have a salutary effect cipher the
country.
Itcmohs.—That the recent Treaty will be rati
fied by the Senate.
That Wehster will. resign his seat in-'the Cab
inet.
That the Hon. Mr. Choate will resigns seat
in the Senate,for the purpose of giving Acme to
Mr. Webster, who will take ground' against the
pregent Mministration.
That Caleb Cushing cannot be re-elected to
Cengress, midis therefore to take Mr. Webster's
place in the Cabinet.
That Walter Forward, who is now rapidly re-
Coverhig from his recent illness, will nut resume
his station in the Treasury Department; unlCss
Tyler Signs the Revenue Bill. -
And that John C. Spencer is to be superseded
by Henry A. Mulilenberg as Secretary of War.
H 65112 Coat.—No man in Congress is more
bitter in his invective against Henry Clay then
Henry A. Wise. • kappears, however, from the
following that this gentleman entertained quite a
differet,opinion of Mr. Clay in 1840—and ac
cording to his own declaration, all hits recent at
tacks Upon Mr. Clay cannot detracfiine iota from
his fame:
Written opinion on Mr. Clay by Mr. Wise, deliv
ered in 1840: "He (Mr. Clay ) has already tier:inked
what neither friends nor foes can take from him--a
fame for which himself has fought—and to which no
mares t praise can add; and limn which no man's cen ,
sure can detract; and,that fame is his reward. Office
could not add a cubic to his stature."
" If Congress submits to the dictation of John
Tyler, they will deserve the execration of the pep
pie and every friend of liberty throughout the
world. It was the base truckling of Congress to
the dictation of Jackson that caused our difficul
ties-Hand a similar course now would only result
in perpetuating them. We would sooner seta
John Tyler meet the fate of his great prototype,
Charles the lat, than the principle should be es
tablished that Congress must bow' to the dictation
of a would be despot.
- The St. Louii Republican states that the
Courts cannot bo held inlowa Territory, in con
seowince of the failure of tbo President to supply
the places of the Judges; whose terms of office
expitled on the Ist of July. We learn' from the
lem4papers that diligent search had been made
for Tyler,men throughout the whole TerritOry
;dint the Messenger feportel,—“none found." This
will iccotint for the vacancies. ,
Tax 'l'Antix.—The Whig party in Congress
have done their duty to the country.!-and the
loco' i members of Congiess from the North, East
and Milne States, have it in their power to pass
the Bill by two-thirds, in defiance of the !Dictator,
by voting for it. If they refuse to do so under
existing circumstances, Will nut a fearful respon=

PIIILADEIPIIIA, August 10th, 1842.
The Veto Message is now circulating through'
the city, having Ibeen expected since Monday morn

a nticipated, end the time of it alone was the sub
ject of interesting conjecture. With regard to the
latter it is tompenitti and in itself is not obnoxious
to strong exceptions The substance of the mos-
I sage however iaririnisfy no one who is not wed
ded to Mr. Tyler and the ' doctrines of the party
to which hellas linked his fortunes. It is the old
s tory of the impropfiety and inexpediency of dm
tributing the prociida of the public lands when
the rate of duties exceeds *AI per Cent. It does'
not touch the question whether the proceeds belong
of right to the States and are therefore entirely in
dependent of the revenue derivable front other
sources. That important consideration of the case
is left out of view altogether. Fault is found with,
the Bill because It unites the subjects of Tariff and
Distribution. This union he -it remembered was
not originally sought by thrt Whigs. They de
sired in passing the Distribution Act to-let it be
independent and single, but theopposition fettered
it with restrictions land clogged it by a anion of
Llo per cent{ doctrine. It is hardly 'fair theiefore
to charge the Whig's with 'the devising the alli-
anti. This Distriblition was qualified against
their consent with 4 .l'ariff provisions, and in self.
defence they have Made their Tariff Bill shoulder
the Distribution. ,The President of course finds
reasons for opposing the Distribution clause, in
the meagre ~c ondition of the National Treasury.
Butthe States can find equal 'reason for approving
it hi the similar condition of their own treasuries.
The Riots of the last fortnight leave now no
trace except the ruins of Smith's Hall and of the
Church. The police regulations keep perfect peace
in the District, ar,a the blacks aro no longer mo-

has prevailed, that the indemnity law bad beetrre

although repealed, was revived and bars date the
31st May, 1841. Under this Act the County is
liable for the property destroyed. If I may judge

in the of ; approving them. At all times

most momentous issues, to affect variously the vari

in all quarters , to such a conflict of opinion, as to ren
der it impossible to conjecture, with any certainty,
on which side the majority really is. Surely, is the
pause of reflection. intended by the wise authors of
the Constitution, by referring the subject - back to
'Congressfor re-consideration be ever expedient and
necessary, it is, precisely such a case as the
~
pre
sent. . ._ , .
_ .
Ou the subject of distributing the proceeds of the
sales of the public 'lands, in the existing state of the
finances, it has been my duty to make known my set
tied conviction 'on various occasions during the pres
ent session of Congress. At the ‘ opening of the ex
tra session, upwards ortwelve months ago, sharing
fully in the general hope of returning prosperity and
Credit, I recommended such a distribution: but that re
commendation was even then expressly coupled with
the condition that the duties on imports‘ should not
exceed the rate of 20 per cent. provided by the Corn
prombie act of 1833. These hopes were not a little
encouraged. and these views strengthened by the
report of Mr. Ewing then Secretary of the Treasury.
which was shortly thereafter laid before Congress,
in which be recommended the imposition of duties at
the rate 0f.20 per cent. ad valorem on all free articles
with specified exceptions, and stated," if t his measure
be 'adopted, there will be received. in the Treasury
from customs in the last quarter of the present year
L 1841185,300.000, in all the year 1842, about S 22,500,
000 ; and in the year 1813, after the final reduction
'
under the act of Match • 2, 1833. about $ 20,800.000 ;"
and adds," it is believed that after.the heavy expendi
tures required by the public service in the present
year shall' have been provided for, the revenue which
Will accrue from that or nearly proximate rate ofduty,
, will be sufficient to defray trio expenses of government,
and leave a surplus to be annually applied to the grad
ual payment of the national debt, leaving the proceeds
.of the publie lands to be disposed of as Congress
shall see fit." .
I was most happy that Congress at the time, seemed
entirely to concur in the recommendations of the.
Executive. and, anticipating the correctness of. the
Secretary's conclusion, and in view of ao actual stir
Plus passed the Distribution act of the 4th September
ast:. wisely limiting its operation by two conditions.
lialring reference both of them, to a possible state of
the Treasury; different from that which had been en
ticipated by the Secretary of the Treasury, and to
the paramount necessities of the public service.
It ordained that, Wet' any time during the exis
tence of that act, there should be an impo.ition of
duties on imports inconsistent with the provision of
the act of the 2d March, 1838. and beycnititlre rate of
duties filed by the act, to wit,29 per cent on the value
of such imports or any of them: then the distribution
should be suspended,and should so continue suspend
ed until that cause should be removed." - By a previ
ous clause it had, in a like spirit of wise and cautious
patriotism, provided for,anothor case in which all are
even now agreed that the proceeds of the sales of
the public lands should be used for the defence of
the country. , , •
It was enacted that the act should cOntinue And be
in force aunt otherwise provided by law, unless the
United States should become involved in war with
any foreign power, in which event, from the corn
mencement of hostilities, the act should be suspended
until the cessation of.hostilities
. ,
Not long alter the opening of the present session
of Congress. the unpreCetfented and extraordinary
difficulties that have recently embarrassed thefinances
of the country began to assume a serious aspect. It
soon became quite evident that the hopes under which
the act of 3d September was passed, and which alone
justified it in the, eyes either of Congress who impo
sed or of the Execu.ive Ivho approved the first of the
two conditions just recited, were not destined to be
fulfilled,' Under the - pressure therefor% of the embar
rassments which had thus une!pectddly arisen, it
appeared to me that the course to be pursued had
been clearly marked out for the Government by that
act itself. The condition contemplated in it, as re
- quinitg.a sitspensjpn Ohs operation had occurred.
It became necessary. in the opinion of all, to raise
the late of duties upon imports obese 2t) per cent s
and with a•viOw both to provide available means to
meet present exigencies, and to lay the foundation for
a 'successful tiegociation of a loan, felt it incumbent
upon me to urge upon Congress to raise the duties
accordingly; imposing them tr. a spirit of a wise die
criminatiou, for the twofold object of affording ample
revenue for the Government, at d incidental protec
lion to the various branches of domestic industry. .1
also pressed, in the most emphatic but respectful
language I could employ, the necessity of making the
land sales available to the Treasury as the basis of
public credit. I did not think' that I could stand el
cuied, much less justified before the people of the
United States, nor could I reconcile it to myself to
recommend the imposition of additional taxes upon
them,without, at the same time, urging the employ
meant of all the legitimate means of Government to
wards satisfying its wants.
- _
These opinions were communicated in advance of
any definite action. of Congress on the subject, either
of the tariff or land sales, under a high sense of pub
lic duty, and incompliance with an express injunction
of the Constitution—so that if a collision, extremely
to be deprecated as such collisions always are, has
seemingly arisen between the Executive and Legisla
live branches of the Government, it has assuredly not
been owing to any capricious interference, or 'to any
want ofa plain and frank declaration of opinion on
the part of the former. Congress differed in its views
with thoseof the Executive, 38 it had undoubtedly a
right to do; and passed a bill virtually for a time re
pealing the provision of the act of the 4th September,
ISIL The bill was returnee to the House in which
it originated; with my objections to its becoming a
law. - With a view to prevent; if passible, an open
disagreement of opinion on a point so important, I
took occasion to declare that.l regarded it as an India
pensable requisite to an increase of duties above
20 pee cent., that the act oldie 9th September should
remain untepealed in its provisions.,
My reasons for that opinion were elaborately set
forth in the message which accompanied, the return
Of the bill—which no Constitutional majority appears
to'have been found for passing iuto a law.
The bill which is now ,befo re me proposes, in its
27th section, the total repeal of one of the provisions
in the act of September, and while it increases the
duties above 20 per cent., directs an unconditional
distribution of the land: proceeds. I am therefore
subjected a second time, in the period of a few days,
to the necessity of either giving my approval to a
measure which; in my deliberate judgment; is in con
flint with greet public interests, or of. returning it to
the Ilciuse in which it originated, with my objections.
With all my anxiety for the passage of a law Which
would replenish an exhausteci Treasury, and furnish
a soundand healthy encouragement to the mechani
cal industry, I cannot consent to do so et the sacrifice
of the peace and harmony of the cOnntrykand the
clearest convictions of public duty. •
For.some of the reasons which have brought me
to this conclusion. I refer to my previous Messages to
Congress, and briefly. subjoin the following:
I. The Bill unites two subjects, winch, so far*
from having any uflinity to one another, are
wholly incongruous in their character. It is both
a revenue and an appropriation bill. thus in.
poses on the Executive, in the first place, the ne
cessity. of either approving that which ho would
'eject, or e rejecting thit which . he might other.
wise approve. This is a species
,orconstraint to
which the judgment Of the Executive ought not,
in my opinion, to be subjected. But that ia not
my only objection to the act in its present form.
The union of subjects wholly dissimilar in their
character in the same bill; if it grow into a pre&
lice, would not fail to lead to consequences -
setructiveofall wise and conscientious legislation.
_Various measures, each agreeable only to a small
Minority, Might, being thus united, and the

materially in the embarrassment of the Treasury,
affords to the States no decided-relief •
Nu immediate relief from this state of thiegs is
anticipated, unless, what would most deeply be
deplored, the government could be reconciled to
the negotiation of loans already authorized by
law, at a rate of discount ruinous in itself, and
calculated most seriously to affect the public cred
it. So gieat is the depression of trade, that even
if thepreaent bill were to become a law, and
prove to he productive, some time would elapse
before sufficient supplies would flow into the
Treasury; while, in the meantime, its embarrass
ments would be continually augmented by the
semi-anntial distribution-of the land proceeds. •

notes. Such is the gloomy picture which our fi.
nancial !Department now presents, and which
calls for the exercise of a rigid economy in the
public expenditures and the rendering available
of all thd means within the control of the govern
rnent. I most respectfully subreit, whether this
is a time to give away the proceeds of the hied
sales,when the - . public lands constitude a fund
whic. of ell Others, may be made most useful
in sustaining the public credit.
Can the Government be generous and munifi
cent to others when every dollar it can command
is necessary to supply its own wants 1 And if.
Congress would riot hesitate to suffer the provi
sions ofithe act ofetth of September last to remain
uorepealed in case the country was involved in
war, is nal the necessity for such a course' now
just as'imperative as it would be then'?
3. A third objection remains to be urged, which
would he, sufficient, in itself,'to induce me to le.
turn the bill to the House with my objections.
- By uniting two subject; so incongruous as Tariff
and Distribution, it inevitably makes the fate of
one dependent vpon that of the other in future
contests of party. Can any thing be, more fatal
to the merchant or manufacturer then such an
alliance? ,
What they most all require is a system of mod
erate duties, so arranged as to withdraw the Tar
iff question, as far as possible, completely from
the arena of .political contention. Their chief
want is permanency and stability. Such an in
crease of the Tariff I belieie to be necessary, in
order to 'meet the economical expenditures of
Government: Such an increase, made in the
spirit of moderation and judicious discrimina
tion, would, I have no doubt, be entirely satisfac
tory to the great majority of the American. peo
ple.. In the way of accomplishing a measure so
salutary and imperatively' demanded by every
public interest, the Legislative Department will
meet With a cordial co-operation on the part of
the Executive. , . . -
This is all that the manufacturer, can desire,
and it would be a burden readily borne by the
People. But I cannot too earnestly repeat that
in order to be beneficial it must be permanent.
4 in order to be permanent it must command gen.
cral accinieseence. Bat can such permanency _be,
justly hoped fur if the Tariff question be coupled
with that of Distribution, as to which a serious
conflict of opinion exists among the States and
-the - People, which enlsts in its support a hare ma.
j4rity, if indeed there be a majority, of ilia two
Houses of Congress? What permanency or
-stability can attach to a meaeure which, warring
upon itself, gives away a fruitful source of reve
nue at the moment it proposes a large increase
of taxes on the People ? .Is the manufacturer
prepared to stake himself and his interests upon
such an issue? , _-
I know that it is urged, but the most errone
ously,,in my opinion, that instability is just as
apt to ' be produced by retaining the public lands
as it source of revenue, as from any other cause,
and this is ascribed to constant fluctuation, as 'it
is said ie the amount of sales.' If there were
any thing. in thisnhjection it equally applies to
imposition of duties en,importe. The amount of
revenue annually derived from duties arc nonstant.
ly liable to change. The regulations of foreign
governments, the varying productiveness of oth
er countries, periods of exeitemmt in trade, and
a great variety of other eireninstances are
constantly arising to affect the state of coin
amerce, foreign and domestic, and of consequence
the revenue levied 'upon it.
The sales of the public domain in ordinary
times are regulated by fixed laws, which have
their basis in a demand increasing only ita- the
ratio of the increase of' population. In recurring
to the statistics connected with this subject, it
Will be perceived that for a period of ten years
preCeding 1835, the average amount of land sales
did not exceed 83,000,000. -
For the increase which took place in 1834-5
and 6, we are to look to that peculiar condition
of the country which grew out of one of the
mo't extaordinary excitements in business and
speculation that have ever occuri-d in the his
tory of commerce and currency. It -was the
fruit of a wild spirit of adventure engendered by
a vicious system of credits, under the evils, of
which the country is still laboring, and which it
is fondly hoped will not soon recur: ,
Considering the vast amount of' investments
made by private individuals in the public lands,
during those three years, and which equalled
$43,000,000, equal to more than 20 years pun-.
chase, taking the average of sales of the ten pre
ceding years, it may be safely asserted that the
result of the public land sales can hold out no.
thing to deem the manufacturer with the idea of
instability in the' revenues, ancimonsequaetly in
the course of the Government.
. Under what appears to me, therefore, the sound
est considerations of public policy, and in view
of the interests of every brew.% of domestic in
dustry, I return pit-the bill with these any objec
tions to its becoming a law.
I take occasion emphatically to repeat my anx
ious desire to co-operate with Congress,in the
passing of a law', which, while, it shall assist in
.supplying the wants of the Treasury, and re-ca.
tabltsh public credit, shall afford to the manufac
turing interests of' the country all the incidental
protection they require. •
After all, the effect of what 1 dreis substantial
ly to call on . Congress to re-consider the subject.
If, on such re consideration, 'a majority of two
thirds of both' houses should be in favor of this
Measure, it will-become-a law notwithstanding
'my - objections. In a 'case of clear - and manifest
error on the part of the President,' the presump.
lion of , the Constitution is, that each siajorities
,will be found. Should they be so. found in this'
case, having conscientiously discharged eny own

Cushing, who bail denied the right of the House ,
W demand of the President, papers, or copies
thereof in the archives of the Departments, except
for the purpose of sustaining an impeachment,
and, in fact, maintained the general doctrine, that

he choose. Mr. Cushing had sustained this doc.
trine by the ptactico, or analogy of the British
government. Mr. Adonis showed the difference
bet Ween the two goveropents, end consequently
the fallacy of the reasoning. Here, he said the _

floor, and advance unblushingly doctrines such

Mr. Adams was here cut oft by the expiration
of the morning hour. and the House went into
Committee - of the Whole on private bill% Mr.
Boardman in the Chair, to whom is due the high
credit of having so driven business that the pri
vate calendar was cleared,of every case not con

experience in legislative business in!the Speaker's

The attractive power, lifter the morning hour,
was in the Senate chamber. Mr. Calhoun har
ing the floor, come prepated to make one of his
best efforts, as his speech undoUbtedly was. He
maintained with his usual ability, sophistry, and
subtlity, his peculiar notions,of political economy,
that is to day, free trade, hard money, low prices.
He put forth some very extraordinary propositions,
among which was this: that high duties would lead
'to high prices, and that high prices would ruin
the manufacturers! Another was that high pri.„„

Mr. Favanii spoke in reply to Mr. Calhoun, and
some others who had taken part against the bill
in the course of its debate in the Senate, and par..
ticularly Mr. Woedbury. Ho noticed the eft re
peated Objection that this bill gave too much rev.
enuo. All we ask, said Mr. Evans, is the reve
nue which you had, end we will support the gos.
ernnient, pay your debts, and distribute among the
states the proceeds of the sales of the public kinds.
The amount of revenue which you had, vela more
than this bill will yield, and yet it is notorious,
indisputable, and undefiled, that - you spent eight
tyear for several of the last years you
were in power, over and above!_the receipts from
the customs and the public lands? • You left the
country'in debt and ,without a revenue"to meet
its current expenses, }at the extra session we
passed laws which put a stop, to frauds, upon the
revenue to the amount of five millions a year,
which you winked at and permitted. Thelltra ses
sion therefere, of which you complain, saved 'its
own expenses in ire than ten times told.. But
what do you proposal This, question has been
often asked, but never answered. The
. gentleman
from South Carolina, when asked what he would
do; or have us to do, very cautiously said, be
would think of it, anti when the exigency corns
for him to act, would do what should seem to him
the state of the country-required. This was very
explicit.' But the gentleman from Now Hemp.
shire, Mr. Woodbury, did say he would levy a
duty of 20 per cent. on all imports except free ar.
tides, and if that did not raise revenue enough
be would resort to direct tax's fur the 'remainder.
The rate of 20 pei cent. he thought, was the nat
ural rate of duties, and therefore no'higher ought

The Senitor from South Carolina had spoken
of the Tariff of 1828, as bill of abominations ;
anilfi - ad applied other harsh epithets to. it. But
who made this . a , bill of abomination's I Not its
friends—its enemies undertook . to make the bill 03
onerous as they could, in order to defeat it, but
they got caught in their own trap. Instead of us
friends voting Against it on account of the amend

its enemies-at their-word, and went for it—it was
dangerous game to play.' But who voted for ill

Mr. Woodbury voted for some of the most object
