And, on the 19th of August, Mr. Irwin
mewed • his motion, the reported pre
-ceedlogs in the Intelligencer of : tbe 20th,
being, sal follows:
- 'MK Irwin rose and - insisted on
tbaptt the t motion +el bad submit ,
Igerjeet'everring, (and pendtrig which an
idiattrvititiot took piece) that the rules of
*ilk - Wm be susPended for the pUrpose
afetifibting him introduce to bill entitled
-14 A - liiitto provide revenue from imports,
*IAA° .change and modi f y existing laws
Ampoo m , duties on imports, sand fur other
purposes."
1'1'011)111 is substantially the same bill as
, that .retuined by the President with his
oldectiOns, Striking out the 27th section;
Whibb 'repealed the proviso in the land
*distribution law, of the extra session; and
admitting tea imported in American yes
sell from'beyond the Cape of Good Elope,
and coffee, free of duty.]
The Streaker decided that the motion
was mitttled to priority.
Mr: W. Irwin said he would so
Modify his motion as tc move to go into
Cartlirdtkiiiof the Whole on the state of
_tbe Union, with a vie , * to take up the bill,
Vie tide of which he read, (and which is
known as the bill heretofore reported , by
. Saltonstall froth the Committee on
Manufactures,) and to move as a substi
tntetor.-that bill the bill returned by the
Presidemt with his objections—
' The Speaker here interrupted Mr. Irwin,
thatemarle that the gentleman was not in
*der in proceeding with his statement ex
cePt try, general consent.
Mr4risvin hoped he would be allowed to
plagued with his explanation:
.obj-eitions:were made.
the Speaker further intimated to Mr. Ir
*lb that, by the modification he proposed
itt his motion, he was superceding him slf.
The gentieman was entitled to the floor on
edged motion - to suspend the rules
—but ha now withdrew that motion and
substituted an entirely new one, thus depri
ving bilaself of the claim to priority.
Mr. Irwin accordingly fell hack on his 6-
, rigibal motion to suspend the rules.
Abel the question being taken, the House
declared that the rules should not be sus
penile:lf.
• •Inutediately ,afterwards, the House re
• sofved itself into Committee of the Whole;
Mr. Barna'rd's twenty per cent. revenue , bill
tvas taken up; NV. C, J. Ingersoll. moved
hitr.substitute; the debate ensued, which is i
deseribed - try,Mr. Marshall in his letter in
the-Intelligencer of the 7th instant, in which
debate Mr. Adams and Mr. R. W. Thomp
.
son opposed the passage of any revenue bill
without Distribution, and Mr. Marshall and
I took the opposite stile; at the close of which
debate, Mr. McKennan moved the bill in
the same form in which it had been previ
ously moved-by Mr, Irwin, and in which it
passed the House.
If, therefore, particular distinction is to
be awarded to any member of the House,
for having, after the return of the Revenue
bilbby the President, first su g gested to the
Hobse the re-enactment of the bill delivered
from Distribution, that distinction, it seems
to me, belongs to Mr. Irwin.
.Ib presenting these facts, I do not wish
to derogate,,in any respect, from the mer,
its of Mr. Marshall, Mr. McKennan, or any
other gentlerian. I am well aware that
special !merle to be ascribed to Mr. Mar-
Phan for the efforts he made, concurrently
with others, and successfully made, irnme
sliately tiker return of the bill, to have it
_passed anew without distribution. And it
is also 'due to Mr. MeKennan to say that
the first formal motion on the subject was
that made by him it the opening of the
Boise on the 17th of August.
I am, respectfully,
C. CUSHING.
P. - S. Since writing the above, I have
conversed with Mr. Marshall on the sub
ject, and I find that in the MS. of his letter
reference is made to the fact of the motions
submitted by me on the 15th of July, and
also to the notice given by Mr. Irwin, on
the I2th of August; which part of his MS.
was accidentally - passed over the transmis
sion of the matter to the Intelligencer. I
add this in the fullest conviction of the fair
, nese of Mr. Marshall's intention in the his
tory of the affair pubished by him, as well
as of the-patriotism and wisdom of his pur
, Mee and conduct, with relation thereto, in
--1 dm House.

e. upfoldts Address.
We have been favowd by the Author
with in Adliess delivered at the Annual .
ComMencemenknfthe Western Universi.
ty of Pa., oil Tttlii, day,'Aug. 9, 1842 4 .
The author of this Address has been
one of the few of our -citizens who seem to
have felt the necessity of maintaining a
respectable, institution of learning in our
city. ; Their praiseworthy efforts have not
met with such success .as they deserved.
indeed their discouragyments have been of
the nicet mortifying kind, and to any but
determined spirits would have been insur
mountable: There is hardly a college
within 3001miles,of us in any direction, in
which the youtg:iif our city may not be
found, and, we have no doubt that many
are' sent away, for the , want of a seminary
at home:,. IWe have-often remarked the
humiliating` fact, that while we have ex
pended hundreds of thousands in building
a court house and jail, our only University
was unfinished, and struggling along al—
mostagainst hope.
But a better and a brighter day seems
to be dawning upon our University, and
the patience' and perseverance of the wor
thy principal, and the dis l / 4 iterested labors
of the Trustrees, among the most active o
whom are the Rev, Dr. Upfold, Dr: Sel
lers, W. H.
,Lowrie and T. Liggett, Esqs.
will be rewarded with success. Thq have
re organized the institution anew, secured
the services of• several competent profes-
sore, repaired the building thoroughly, and
are about to set out ppon a new and we
trust, a more prosperous career.
But we are forgetting the Address of
Dr. UpfolJ, which we sat down to nutica
It is an admirable production, well worthy
the talented and amiable author. The
following paragraph contains some sound
arguments in favor of educating boys at
home. They are unanswerable, and cannot
fail to gain converts to the propositions
they sustain,
“A borne education is preferable on the
score of economy, no small consideration
at any time, and certainly not at the pre
sen(time, and amid the general - existing
monetary embarrassments of the country.
There is less expense incurred, even should
the price of tuition at home exceed that
abroad. At home, a certain sum annually
for instruction is nearly or quite all the
necessary actual expenditure: Abroad,
in addition thereto, there is board, which
at very the lowest rate at which it is usual
ly Obtained, is greater than it can be under
the parental roof; and this must be paid in
cash. Besides this, a very considerable
sum is required for travelling expenses, to
an I fro; washing and mending, extra cloth
ing and of extra quality, pocket money,
and a host of items too well known to pa
rents who send their children to a distance
to be educated, under the name of contin
gencies. Supposing, therefore, the price
of tuition in a collegiate institution at
home, to exceed by one-third or one-half
the price of the same abroad, when the
amount of board and lodging, and the va
rious incidental expenses just enumerated,
requiring an actual outlay in cash, are ta
ken into account, there would be, under
the most favorable circumstances, and
where a rigid economy is practised by the
pupil, a lama balance in favor of home."
The autlitir of the Address and W. H.
Lowrie, Esq, have taken upon themselves
the duties of the professorship of Rhetor
icand Belles Lettres, which will include
Constitutional Law and political economy
We are told they assume the post until
a suitable person can be procured to dis
charge its duties., This Wanother sacrifice
of labor to sustain the institution, which
should be duly appreciated ,by the public.
Vermont Election.
The. Boston Post cliche 10th says it has
returns from 146 towns which gives Smi
lie 17,297. Paine, 18940, Williams (ab
olition) and scattering. 1209, In the 121
towns which we have been able to com
pare the vote of 1841 with that of 1842,
there is an increase in the Democratic vote
of 1,199; in the whig vote of 2,189; and in
the abolition vote a decrease of 666. The
abolitionists who had not voted for the
third party candidate have generally gone
for Paine, which accounts for his increase.l
over theidemocratic candidate. In the 121
towns referred to, his gain since last year
is 1,656. Last year, he wanted 1.232
Votes to 'elect him. In the parts of the
State toile heard from he will run no bet

Manoenvering.
A barbacue is. to be given in Washing
ton county in honor of Mr. MeKenuttit.
This is no doubt given in purstnataa of
the plan to Make Mr. McK. the federal
candidate for Governor of this State in
1844. •It.will be remembered that be was
tie spokesman on the part of the whig
members of Congress at the late fete giv
en them in Philadelphia. But the friends
of Mr.-McKencan will by no means t have
an undisputed fieldlin their schemes inget
him the nomination. Mr. Denny is we
are told a prominent candidate for it, and
his .5 fends aro not idle. Malicious people
say he took the command at the late en
campment to further this design. If so,
he has cettainly checkmated Mr. McK. so
ar.
We have no objection in the world to
manouvering between the federal mag
nates. But we cannot but think it labor
ldst. There- was ••twenty-three:thousand
democratic majority at the last election let
the rivals think o f this and be still.
Coming it over the - Lawyers.—A large
lot of valuable law books ,was sold by an
auctioneer in Buffalo last week, as the
goods of a gentleman who bad obtained
them at reduced prices in the Eastern ci—
ties. The sale was well attended, and it
was soon afterwards discovered that the
books belonged to certain members of the
bar from whom they hod been borrowed.
He had'nt got his Supper.—A Boston
boy, on whom Dr. Taylor failed to pro
duce any mesmeric effect, while lecturing
in Boston,.on Wednesday evening, being
asked why be did'nt go to sleep, shrewdly
ariswered, "Because I had'nt got my sup-

busses across the Desert of Arabia.—A
Company has been formed to carry per.

Forty of them are to be ready on the Ist of
September. They are light, but large

Passage of the Tariff Bill•
We publish this morning from the Madisonian
of the 9th, a letter of the Hon. C&LEB Comma,
giving a history of the passage of the Tariff Bill.
Oa a perusal of the letter the public will perceive
that the bonorfof procuring its passage iv due to the
efforts of the Hon. W. W. 'awls, if it had not
peen for his perseverance in this matter, it is
doubtful whether any Tariff would have been a'
dopted at the late Ses s ion. Although we differ
with Mr. Irwin on many political questions, we
feel inclined to give him all the praise to which
iv: is entitled, when he supports correct measures;
and we do so more readily in this case, from the
knowledge that efforts are making by some to
transfer the honor that is justly due to him on the
Tariff question, to another, whose exertions were
of comparatively small importance when comps•
red with those made by Mr. Irwin.
The election ordered by the Charter party for
the purpose of electing delegates to a Covention
to form a Constitution, appears to have been a slim
affair, as there were not more than 2090 votes
polled. Thi s result shows that the great bony of
the charter men are dissatisfied with the policy
pursaed by the leading Algerines, and that the
petty tyrants who in their barbarous treatment of'
suffrage men violated every principle of honor and
juitiee i have no longer the respeettor confi fence
of heir own party. The suffrage men at their
last spring election polled over 6000 votes, and it
was pointed at•by the Algerines as an evidence
of the weakness of the liberal patty.
Where is their own strength now? The pub•
iie can judge of the justice of a party that can poll
but 2000 votes, claiming the right to treat as trai.
tore and felons, a party of freeborn men that cone
tains 6000 honest voters.
(1:7 The Sun says that in La master county
the" Whigs" have taken up a ticket. It was the
"Antimasetts" he meant, for there are no whigs

intimate personal intercourse with him and Ins
family, and before he returned to Illinois, a parts '
mor.
t ,
! songs, the' audience dispersed in great good hu
nership was formed between them,for the purpose
of speculating in , the public l lands. In the !dew- 1
ing spring WebWer Wird his family visited the
west, and on his arrival at Peru, Illinois, Kinney
had an immense concourse of the citizens asserns ,
bled, to welcome him, and hOivitit received with
the firing of cannon, and every demonstration of i
respect and-frinicdahip. After he landed from the
. ...
boat, he and hie-family were conveyed- to the res•
idence of Kinney, and enjoyed its hospitality du
ring his stay at Peru. No one who witnessed or
heard of their social intercourse thought that Mr.
Webster could ever forget the "person from the
west," and rumour said—and appearances war•
ranted it—that it was Mr. W's desire that a still
mere intimate connection between the families
should take place. In the course of his tour through
Illinois he was at'ended by Kinney, and when he
left for hie home he received from the "person
from the west" as a present, a span of magnificent
cream-colored horses, which we have since seen
noticed in eastern papers, as the gilt of a western
gentleman. These horses were purchased on cred
it, and have not been paid for till this day, as the
year following Kinney took the "Sabine "slope,"
and all who have any knowledge of Webster's
business habits, know that paying debts of any
kind, is not one of his failings.
This is a brief relation of a part of the inter. ,
course between the Secretary of State and 1-1- L.
Kinney; and notwithstanding the intimacy which
it proves; the .family connexion which was almost
consurna'ed, the partnership in land speculation,
the hospitable:treatment and munificent presents
Whic' h Webster received from Kinney, he pretends
now, when the reputed millionaire has fallen into
a little deeper disgrace than hiiiiself, to have had
but a slight personal knowledge , of the "person
from the west"
What reliance can he place in the veracity
or integrity Of
. a re...n who is so totally void of eve
ry principal of honor or gratitude? This treat
ment of Kinney falcifies the old adage of honor a
mong a certain class of speculators, whose proper
itle it might not be polite to mention in connee.

Ferry to Birmingham.
There is some little excitement just now, in
Birmingham, about a Ferry Boat built by a Mt.
Bell, to ply - between that village and the city : —
Mr. Bell, it is said, built the boat to run in con
nection'with one owned by. Capt. Short, which
now rues tietweea the places. It was intended
that a boat should leave each sidev , at the same
• time, and thus the facilities for crossing would be
doubled. Some misunderstanding, however, arose
between the Captain and Mr. 8., and they did not
complete the arrangement. Mr. IL, however, fin—
ished his boat, and intended to run it in opposition
to Short's. But the authorities of Birmingham
say that Capt. Short must have all the profits of
this business, as lie had all the risk in the beginning
and refuse to let Mr. Bell land within the limits
of their corporation. Certain of our city mag
nates and many other persons, it is said, started
in Bell's bolt the other day to fix the matter, but
their landing was rosolntely resisted by the Bir
mingha mers, and they came back with their mis
sion unfulfilled. So stands the matter at present,
and no little ill-feeling exists on the subject.
