- - At the great democratic meeting, late
ly held at Harrisburg, information was
demanded in relation to Mr. hn.l3tiren's
views upon the y:10; whereupon, the
President of tfie "Meeting, Col. SNOWDEN
produced and feed the following extract
of a letter, written by Mrr Van Buren to
a democratic meeting ' held at Shocco
Springs, Virginia : . •
"The protective system and its proper
adjustment, begame a subject of frequent
and necessary conside ration, whilst I
formed a part of the cabinet; and the
manner in which the President (Gen'l
Jackson) proposed to carry into effect
the, policy:in relation to imposts, recom
mended in his• previous messages, has
since been avowed with that frankness
which belongs to hi's character. To this
end, he recommended "a modification of
the,tariff, which should produce a reduc
tion of tha revenue to the wants of the
Government, and an ndjUstment in rela
tion to all-our national interests, and the
counteraction of foreig# policy,, so far as
it may be injurious to-those interests."
„ In these sentiments I folly concur;
-and I have been thus Aplicit in the state
ment of them, that there may be no room
for misapprehensiOn as to my own views
upon the subject. A sincere and faith
ful application of these principles,to our
legislation, unwarped by private interest
or political design—a restriction Of wants
-of the Government to a simpleend era
nomiCal administration- which is consis
tent with the purity and stability of the
Republican system—a preference in,en,
couragement given to such manufactures
as are , essential to the national defence,
and its extension to others in proportion
as they are adapted to our country, and
of which the raw' material, is prciduced
by ourselves, with_a proper respectfor
the which de i mands thatalrtaxes
should be imposed in propoitiOn to the
ability and condition of the contributors,
would, I am convinced, give ultiniate sa
tisfaction to airast majority of the people
of the United States, and arrest - that spi
rit of discontent which is now unhappily
sci prevalent;end which threatens such
extensive injury to the institutions of our
country."

Scenci-of this kind are indeed• disitteit-'
ful and Cannot but greatly injure tlielchar
acter of the country. It is but too true,
however, that some of the political letter
writers of the day:.are entirely too abu ,
give. {but another scene occurred', on
Friday—also growing out•ofa statement
made by aWashinghton correspondent.
Mr.' C. J. Ingersoll of Philadelphiri co.
(4th District, rose with . a paper in his
hand, understood to be the U. B.*Gazette,
read a paragraph froth a letter which he
charged upon Nathan Sargent Esq.;'the
correspondent' of that paper. He pro
nounced it false, and called upon , the
Speaker to deny Mr. Sargent the privi
lege of the floor. The statement was; to
this effect, that when a •queston was I
pending on the Massachnsetts resolutions '
for an amendment of the Constitution,
Mr. Ingersoll inquired of;\'lr. Adams, if'
be tMr. A.) did not draw up those reso
lutioas ! Mr. A., without deigning to
reply to this' impertinent question after - a '
dignified look at Mr. Ingersoll, turned
with :calm dignity to the Speaker, and
called for the yeas and nays.
Mr. Morris, of Pa., rose and observed
in substance, without knowing what was
particularly complained of, that he could
vouchXor the character'of Mr. Sargent
as a gentleman of unimpeachable veraci
ty, and one incapable of tieing' injustice
to his colleagues or any one else.
Mr.l4t dims next rose, and spoke at
some length, maintaining the statement
made by Mr. Sargent.
The debate here took • quitela desulto
ry- 1 •
turn. Mr. Ingersoll !made some re-,
marks in reply ; and ,Mr. Wise gave it .
as his , opinion, that Mr: Sargent's cow
ardice was only equalled by his menda
city. The whole scene was one of con.
fusion, and was unworthy the 'dignity of
the House.
Mr: Cave Johnson spoke of turning
out all letter waiters, as the best mode of
settling the business.
L. The' whole subject was indefinitely
postponed * and the House adjourned.
Ulm—The lead trade of Upper Mis
sissippi is getting to be of immense im
portance, and is growing more valuable
every year. The demand for the metal
is only limited by ,the price, and if it
could be carried at the cheaper rate we
might supply the whole world from the
labaratory of nature in the region of the
Upper Mississippi. The shipments
from all the points in
1841 were, pigs, - - - 463,404
1842 473,099
1843 - - ---- 584,131
This with the addition of 25,142 pigs
stopped by the ice; makes an increased
production in 1843 of 140,174 pigs.—.
There were in addition 1400 pigs cop
per mined, and the increase in this ar
ticle also bids fair to be very large. The
aggregate value, of both metals at the
mines exceeded $1,000,000.
AN AFFRAY AND Loss OF Lrez.—On
the fith hist, an affray took plaCe at Fair , .
field, Green county, Ohio; which result
ed in the death of one of, the 'parties.—
John Parsons was indebted to Isaac Mil
ler, and had a horse. which M. claimed
on n l promise of a bill of sale. Refusing
the aid, of, the law, M.'proceeded with
bis`son, about 22 'years old, to take the.
animal/--by force. , He said his son was
a good. fighter, Mad invited; some of his
neighbors to go along and see the
P. refused to give tip' the horse, and Mil
ler and his son brought him out of the
stable. A violent altercation ensued,
when P. seized a club and felled both
the Millers to the ground by blowsover
the head. The old Man is since 'dead,
acid the son is in a very dangerous condi
tion, with his skull fractured.
We learn from the Clinton
