'He there fore entitled . to a cheerful* expression Of opinion, as well as a prompt statement of fact, concern ing hirn. You will not fail to-recollect the condition of the country in the summer of 1842. A disastrous course of policy had, especially; during the ad ministration of Mr. Van Burrn. involved the finan- ces in embariassment and confusion:l,odd' threat ened to be ruinous. Its avenue altogether inade quate to the support Of the Government was re ceivetl'from Commerce; and internal prosperity Was blighted by - the prostration of the manufac turing interest. The treasury was empty, and credit was lost, Loans could not be negotiatiul at home or abroad. The prospect Was on every side gloomy. 8011, independence, and wise legisla- tion alone could save the nation from , permanent -disgrace: . Its Bankruptcy:. Was already achieved. It is not necessary to trace minutely the difficult and- responsible steps that were taken. Much difference of opinion existed on the part of the. Whig majority in Congress. Measures were at length adopted, the wisdom of which ,has been proved 147 the results which almost 'immediately followed and, although to some degree marred by recent executive and Legislative errors, hive not ceasedto operate. In all that was' done General Irvin bore an active, intelligent manly and efficient ' part. Hie views, as the event ,has proved, were just front the beginning. During the whole course of proceeding,, while sometimes great uncertainty rested upon the issue, he never doubted, hesitated or withheld his efforts. A familiar acquaintance with the interests of his native state enasled him to bring ,a large contribution of materials to the cause which was eminently hera. Ho laboured, ''faithfully. Pennsylvania will deeply and lasting ly enjoy the benefit of his exertions. I do not recollect that his judgment or action was different Upon any ofthe incidental questions which led to the final _passage of the Tariff Bill, from that of the bare Majority by which tt was adopted: When it was ascertained that no Bill could pass which provided for a - continuance of the dis tribution of the proceeds of the public lands among the States, much difficulty arose. The effect of the proposed Tariff would necessarily be to raise the duties above twenty per cent. In that case, by a proviso in the distribution net. of .18-11 the pro ceeds of land sales, must inure Co the general, ,government, unless special legislation should dis pense with,Meproviso. As this special legisla tion appeared to be impracticable by itself, it was thought by many if equivalent revenue could be obtained by a duty on tea and coffee, the revenue arising from 'public lands might possibly be per permitted to remain with the States. Gen. fro via was not of this opinion. He opposed a duty on tea and coffee, and it was struck out by a vote "of -118 to 70.; The ayes and noes were taken on the 16th of Jiffy, - did the name of "James Irvin" is recorded in the majority. , The Tariff Bill was finally passed - without any tax on these articles, Gen. Irvin voting of- course for the Bill which made them free. It isl - scarcely necessary for me .to say more in reply to your. ,enquiries. My intercourse with Gen. Irvin in public life was uninterrupted. •I always regarded him as possessed of a sounk strong,.and discriminating Intellect, an amiable temper:anti entire integrity of principle and con-- duct. . His course as a statesman was wise and! honorable. His department as a gentleman was correct and uniformly courteous. I have always understood that he enjoys amongst his neighbors an amiable relmtatien for benevolence and liherali ty. His hand is said to be -ever open to the prompting , of - a kind and generous spirit. With qualities such *as ho- is known to possess, there can be little doubt as to'the safety of the concerns of the government of Pennsylvania, so' far as tie may have the administration of them. It might be very nossible to select a chief magistrate of more brilliant acconriplishinents, but it would be sliffichlt to find one Of mere solid and, substantial Merit, of greater simplicity of manners, or vigor of understrinding, than the individual who has , been nominated by the late Convention at Her tisburg.. i ant with great respect - Your obi t. servant., • J.
