The last Aigus has in it a seryansdid
article -Oti the subject of the bargainand
sale!, made between Henry Clay and
John.Q., Adami, and is intended as - a de
fence of Mr.,Clav in answer to certain
imputations tnade by us concerning this
matter. The .article written by he *tap
-be found it. the Porter of December tO.
The Aigus that appeared nest after that
date, attempted • a defence. by quoting
the language of one, implicated - in the
transaction. 'The article now under no=
lice, is a lengthy and nixie elaborate de
fence of Mr. Clay. We are called upon
in this article« to'retract the base insinn 7
ation thrown - out!' by us. Gentlemen
we shall not do it, until you . have shown
that the imputation cannot justly rest on
Mr.Cliy.iAdatitting true, the authori
ties quoted,by the Argus they do not ex
culpate him. - We have not said that Mr.
Clay tuadc a ProPosiiion to Gen'l Jack
son with an intention to form with. him
- a coalition ; hence all the labor of the
Argus is lost on this point, and the quo
cation froin Mr.. Buchanan's letter, if ge
%wine, was wholly unnecessa4-..
' -In relation ! to what was said ar.d.done
b . *" . George Kremer, we have to state from
recollection, as we have not the docu-
mentary proof hand.' Mr. Kremer
when the coalition between Clay and
Adams was first discovered, came out in
awarticle, bitter and "verb against Mr.
Clay; the corrupt bargain and transfer
made was charged to him. The article
was anonythous ; ,Clay dernanded the
name of she antlio'r and in such a manner
as to leave no do - tibt upon the minds o
others, that the author \vould be challen
ged ; indeed -)dr Clay in his conversa
tion with others upon the subject, gave
the public at Washington to understand,
that such; was his intention. lifr. Kre
mer was not the least daunted" by the
threats of the Kentucky duelist, and pub-,
licly gave to. Mi. Clay his riame - as the
author. Mr. Kremer expecting a ehal
'lenge Was determined not to refuse; and
so sanguine was he and his frien ! s that
.Clay would carry out his threat,' that he,
_{Kremer) commenced practicing with
his favorite weapon, the rifle, in the use
of which he was a dead shot. Mr Clay
was told . that Kremer 4pecting a chal
lenge:was practicing the rifle, and iinten
ded to select that kind of weapon.' Clay
instead of ehaitenging hint came ont in a
most vile and alsosire article againstKie
rner ; as was suppitsed, with_the inten
tion of provoking him to give the chal
lenge, and thus place it • out of his {Mr.
IL's) power to select his OWII ur!apons.
K.reater has not to our knowledge
ever changed his position in this respect.
• Shortly after the treaty, of 'Ghent, Mr.
Clay came out with a pamphlet, *tea
ring severely on the conduct of John Q.
Adams in thatireatY. ThesepamPh lets
were eirculatedWiroughout the'couotry.

'him of the fable of the donkey and the

not•conceal the long ears of the donkey.

not been in the ranks Fong enough, to
becoma familiar to a name which seems
to him reproachful. Perhaps earlier 'as

wish to be clearly understood, and
`. LoOkei on in Venice" finds it so diffi
cult to understand us, we will, give our
opinion in , the language of another, and
should like to see his refutation of that
-opinion •
"A * tariff duty sufficiently high to
meet ithe revenue wants of the govern
ment,is an act of necessity if it is con
sidered as the best means of raising such
revenjie,and should be acquiesced in by
all, al-virtually equal and uniform what
ever !difference there might be made to'
:appear in a strict construction of the
measure. But fet it be considered ip
Whatever light irmay, one thing appears
certain viz : that the principle it involves
is not strictly, aaepublican principle, in
as much as it clearly goes to tax the ma
ny, for the benefit of the few; as clearly
as taxes are necessary at all for the sup
port of , the government. And it must be
Scquieseedin if acquiesced in at all, from
the consideration that no better system
ror raising revenue could be devised, and
therefore considered as the best means
that could be adapted for self preserva
tion. But-this principle can reach no'
further" than the revenue wants of go
vernment. it it goes beyond 'that
point, it sets aside the necessity of the
case—assumes a' power net granted by,
the constitution—tramples on our Tepula•
bean principles, and sets uOn their place
die principles of aristocracy. These de
ductions are so self-evident, that they
Scarcely need as argument in their sup
port. .
“Unfortunately for our peace and har
mony, the United States are so situated
that some of the states cannot enter into
the manufacturng business. It is an ack
nowledged fact among statesmen of dif
ferent views on this subject, that the
southern states cannot enter into the ma
nufacturing syritem : their slave popula
tion wilt not admit of such 'a course.-- ,
Where then is the justice even if the coil
stitution was not against such a measure ,
that a direct protective tariff should be
levied to aid the manufacturers in one
part of the United States, when by so
doing the tax paid by anothei part of the
United States, operates as a bounty to
the manufacturer, and is so much paid
without the least equivalent or conside
ration in return, to the party paying 1 . --
Therefore to admit to admit the protec
tive system to be a correct one, any far
' ther than an incidental mitection arising
out of the necessary means required to,
supply the ; government_ with a revenue
sufficient to carry on its concerns, would
be evidentlyunitist.

Eland* and Singular Weide.
Yesterday, the 19th tilt., James J.
Batumi, locksmith, in Sixth Street. be
low Cherry, committed suicide, under
very singular . and melancholy circum
stances. From what we_ could learn,
at a late hour last evening, it appears
that on Thursday afternoon , he made' a
visit to his matheessesidence, in King
seising TotinShip, and that the act was
committed yesterday, about dinner time,
in the vicinity of her house.' The
statement is, that he h4l.by some means
prevailed upon a man to retire with him
to the spot where the act was perpetra
ted. for the purpose of digging a grave,
and that the man . had proceeded ,iii the
undertaking according to the desire of
the deceased Land that hile so en aged,
he heard. the report o . fire-arm, and
looking up saw the deceased falling up.
on the ground, or into the hole, as far;
as it had been Made. The man alarm
ed, ran to him. and found him a corpse,
the contents of the piece having taken
effect in the region of the heart. The
fatal act 'was done 'With a rifle, which
he must have had concealed under his
cloak, and hence unperceived try the
individual who accompanied hini. .
The deceased was about twenty-five
years of age, of sober and industrious
habits, honorable iii his dealings; pros
perous in business,. moderately.wealthy,
and had large expectations. He is
as being rather singular in his
views upon some subjects and some
what eccentric in his manners. It is
said he was engaged to be married ;ILA
nuptials to have been celebrated on
Tuesday next ;_that he bad purchased a'
dwellingsoinewhere in Call° whill street
and had it partially finished.
No cause is assigned forihe trash act,
as, so far al regards•earthly; present
and, prospective good. he was in the en'-
joyment of it. For several days he was
_observed to have been in rather
L a mel
ancholy mood, which was liciivver at
tributed to his complaint of the .want of
his usual.good health. . Within a week
or two past, a young lady, to whom he
was devotedly attached previous to pay
ing his addresses to the latter one, was
married.. which circum lance is con
ceived to .have worked pop ilia' mind.

Lacheer, e.siding at 32 Ellington street
%who was about going_tiMilwankityuld
had purchased some goods., Informa
tion was given to the Mayor, who went
to. No. 14 Cedar street, and immediate
ly despatched Mr. Clark, first Marshal,
Justice Taylor. - and officer lirGinth
to arrest the prisoner and discover the
trunk. Lachner was arrested by the
first Marshal as he came out of a house
kept by friend ofnamedßeischmiller,his,
at 109 Cedar street,and carried to No.
14. thence to the Mayor's o ffi ce.' The
other officers proceeded to the residence
of Lachner, in Rivington street and
discovered, immediatelr ou going in.
the identicalArunk, which. with two
others, was taken tOdie Mayor's office.
A large proportion of the lost money
was in the trunk, but a large sum .was
found spread between' the - sheets in
Lachnees bed. ,Tllo,,BaiA Note kin
sheets, which were in'the trunk, are ho
neyed to have been burned by Lachner,
as the servants noticed hini destroying
new paper in hilt room for , some days
past. :
' ..It was shown, on the examination.
that time in Mil waukie, where, he says ,
he has a partner. He was married five
days ago. Land his wife 'was deeply
grieved at the proposal t of losing their
treasure.- Lachner, has recently bought
a gold watch and other articles of jew
elry. Be came down, it is said, in.
the same boat .with Mr. Copp. 'He
states that it was his intention immedi
ately to return to Milwakie by the way
of 'Buffalo, Where - ho-intended to pur
chase a span of horses, and go by land.
Ire is a stout, rather handsome looking
man, about thirty: years of age. . It is
supposed no person had any hand in
the robbery but himself. He was fully
committed
•• It is worthy of note that a German
was seen in Albany.watching the move-
ments of Mr. Copp on the day. he left
that city for New York with the think.
That German is supposed to have been
Lachner, or a confederate who appris
ed L. of Mr..Copp's movements."
The Pomeroy. Trunk---i t is Said
that when Lachner stole the Pomeroy
trunk, be was . ignorant of its contents.
A New York paper says :
.. He is but recently from Germlny,
and speaks the English language very
imperfectly; he even denies that he
can read it. This strengthens the gen
erally belief. inasmuch asthAmanie of
Pomeroy 4- Co. on the tri., Yeas not
erased, and it can scarcely believed that•
a man, perfectly conversant with What
the trunk contained, would have dared
to carry it at early morning through. the
Park on his shoulder, and actually pass
by the Tombs on his way to Rivington
street. He took no pains to conceal it,
and his subsequent conduct shows
clearly that he either knew nothing of
the reward offered for its divcoiery, or
ithat he must have been a most egregious
dunce to have suffered the trunk to re-'
main on his premises, without in some
way or other defacing it." . ,
