We commend to their awn bon the following -extracts from elipeech delivelk by the "godlike Daniel," in Boston, on the 30th Septem ber. 18424 "4T IS NbT TRUE, THAT THE TARIFF SYSTEM WAS PASSED BY THE WHIGS A LONE." We all know that more than thirty—same of then leading and infinential apkigs—VOTED A GAINST THE TARIFF OUT AND OUT, ON ALL QUESTIONS, DIRECT AND INDIRECT. • • • • s • • Now. we all know that withorrt the votes of the two Senators from Pennsyhrania, Mr Williams, of Maine, and Mr. Wright, it could not save passed. It is a truth that Is more favorable to the outset THAT A LARGE PROPORTION OF-THE OPPOSITE PARTY CAME IN TO HELP THE TARIFF THROUGH AND TO RESCUE IT FROM THE INSTABILITY OF , MERE PARTY SUPPORT." In whose veracity will the public place most confi dence—Daniel Webster or Deacon White? Although it is a choice betwetaiwo whip, of course, they will not hesitate to cboose the "gild-Übe Daniel.° His ,tes timony, had as it may be, is , certainiy sdpetlor to the man who is now supporting* comdidete wham he a short time since denounced for having throttled the Tariff'. If the Gutette, American and the little privateer organs of the whigs have a spark of honesty, they will copy these extracts from Mr. Webster's speech, and make a proper apology for the gross falsehoods they have published heretofore respecting the passage of the Tariff of 1842. TUE WHIGS AND THE TARIFF.-Tim whigs claim to be the exclusive friends of the Tariff, and especially of the Tariff of 1842. The extra Session, which was called to redeem the whig promises of 1840, met in May, 1841—the whig majority consisted of 47 in the House, and 7in the Senate. With . such a majority,' if they had been friendly to the Tariff, what- was to prevent them from passing a Tariff Bill T Noth;ng on earth—and yet there was no Tariff Bill passed until Augu* 1842, after this same Congress had been sit ting for TWELVE MONTHS. The whig majority did not touch the Tariff, until after they had passed two Bank Bills, and a Distribution Law, and a Bankrupt Law. When all these things were done, the Tariff was taken up, and was carried by Democratic votes after a most desperate struggle. Joust 'QUINCY AD AMS, Mr. SPEAKER WHITE, and 37 more whigs in the House voting against it, and 16 more of them dodging the issue. And yet the whigs, after postponing the Tariff twelve or fourteen months, till after two Bank ,Bills, a Digtri butiox Bill and the Bankrupt Bill were disposed of, would have us believe they ore friendly to the Tariff. Out upon such Tariff men, say we. It was the Dem ocrats who saved the Tariff Bill. Had it not been for them the whigs would have adjourned and went home without providing for the expenses of ; the government, or the wants of the country. KENTUCKY IN Morton.—Never, says the Lexing ton (Ky.) Gazette, have we witnessed so active a can. VIM in this State as is now in progress. Whiggery, assailed at all points by the energy and activity of the glorious Democracy of Kentucky, is driven to unwont ed exertions to sustain iterif. With all the aid the great name of its leader can bring to the cause, it sees defeat in full prospect in August, and is rallying its for ces to avert the blow! All the orators of the whig par ry, great and little, are now in motion, scouring over hill, dole, river and mountain, and laboring night and day to uphold the falling banner of their chief. Nor are the Democrats idle? Butler, l'ilcher, Guth rie, NlcCalla, Tibbetts, French, Denial, and a host of other good and .true men, are storming the strong holds of whigeery in every direc tion; carrying on the warfare with an ability and ener gy worthy of all praise, and with the fairest prospects of success. Their efforts are ably sermnded by the general zeal of our party, which never mounted higher than at present. What the resu% may be we cannot predict, but we can say to our friends in other States; that the Demon racy of old Kentucky will fight a battle in August war thy of their ancient fame, even if victory should nut perch upon their standard. From the Rochester Democrat of Saturday. Melancholy Accident. --An accident of truly a mel • • v character occurred near the city yesterday mot . A young man named Silas- R. Howe, who has let ly been in the employment of Mr. S. Kendrick, hard w• re merchant of Detroit, took passage fur the East on board the "North America," Capt. Green.— On the way to Piusford he took from his trunk a very neat rifle of large bore, and loaded it to shoot squir rels. He endeavored to fire it several tines without success, the cap exploding without discharging the gun. While examining the condition of the piece the boat arrived at Pittsford lock. In stooping to pass the bridge, it is supposed that the lock caught in soma part of his clothes, and when be rose up the piece went off, sending the ball directly through his head, entering st above the eye and scattering portionsof the brain in various directions. Netvrithstruiding these s of the wound, the unfortunate man lived three hours. Hit mother and friends reside in East Pbuitney, Vermont. The Coroner has possession of his effects, which a wait the order of his friends.

The brutal act is attributed to sensual passion on the part of Gray, who it appears was acquainted with the un fortunate woman tie is still at large, but a suitable reward is offered for his arrest, An Emperor's &w in the New 'York Watch Honse.—On Saturday night last, Augustus T. Yturbide son - of a former Emperor of Mexico, and George John- son, alias Stephenson, in a a to of gross intoxication, during tile overture at Ni Theatre New York, ir.- dulgA in profane, indece lye and threatening language, making loud noises, disturbing the peace, in , tcrrupting - the performances, and acting in such a dis orderly manner that the auditory called out to put them out. The officers who seized them for the purpose, met a desperate resistance from the Emperor and his suit. Johnson alias Stephenson also threatened to shoot - any pea*, who should take Yturbide out.— They were, however, lodged in the watch house, and at a late hotw3ustice Gilbert was called„dapon and inv. portuned to let them out, but positively Welled to do so. They were, however, let out by Alderman Em mons OA parole and on Monday appearixl before Jus tice Gilbert, who fined them $5 each and costs, and held them to bail in $5OO each to answer. Perilous Voyage.—We learn ,from the Philadel phia Sun, that an open boat, 23 feet long and 4 tons bunhen;containing three Englishmen and an Irishman, ntrived at Lewistown, Pa. on Saturday, after a pert lons voyage of 14 days tress Bermuda.. They ezpei i enced two tremendous storms in the Gulf Stream, and came near being foundered. They lost all their pro visions and water. and must have perished had they not been supplied by a barque which they fell in With. None of the four - were sailors, or acquainted with nav igation, and the only instrument on board the boat was a small compass. They made the coats several days before they could effect a landing, and, according to their ealculations,sailed seventy miles along the shore before they made Henlopen light house. When they landed, they were inn most destitute condition, not one of them having a bat to his bead, and their clothes had been literally torn from their backs in bat tling with the ocean. FROM lOWA. We have been politely favored with the perusal of a letter received by a gent eman in this city, from bis friend in lowa, from which we make the following ex tracts. It is dated Bloomington, July sth, 1844. - • "This - season has been extremely Wet for three months past; an immense quantity of rain fell in June. The core at best cannot be more than half a crop. Fail wheat is good, the fields are just ripening. Spring wheat is more uncertain, it is expected the rust will strike it. Wheat is our principal article of export; from Bloomington, the quantity shipped since the naviga tion opened, Ist March, has been about 30,000 bush els; a few thousand were shipped last Fall. This is more in value than all the rest of the products. Wool will some day become a great staple of Iwa. In May the census was token: .Our town was 943, Tel ritory 82,500. At our election in August. we elect delegates to form la constitution for State government. It will then be I submitted to Congress and the people of lowa, for their approval or disapproval. Our population has increased 10,000 o year for six years past, and now the emigrants are coming as fast as at any previous year. Large numbers of very res pectable farmers from Pennsylvania—where they sell their lands at high prices, leave a State under berth entwine debt. come to this country, which is free of debt, and where they find cheep and immensely fertile land—and, what may appear absurd, but it is never theless true,that lowa is sa convenient to market as the west half of Pennsylvania.

Correspondence of the Boston Post. Aux CAI' CS, 29th June. The affairs of this place (Aux Cayes) are still in a , very unsettled state: and notwithstanding the local Government has issued proclamations assuring pro tection to all, many mulattoes have left, and continue to leave for Jamaica,and the United States; those pro scribed persiffis who some six weeks since fled for safe ty to the neighboring ports are particularly urged to return and resume their business under the protection of the General Government, who have sent two depu ties to this place for the purpose of rosturing order and tranquility. General Acaon iv still in command, and is lavish in his promises of protection to the inhabitants; but the recent sequestrations made by his order have inspired the people with a dread of him, and a doubt of his sin cerity. At one time, even American property, which happened to be in the hands of Hoytien merchants, was seized upon indiscriminately with their own, and but for the presence of the U S ship Preble, and the influence of her commaixler, much American proper ,ty would have been sacrificed. An instalment (ff6oo - 000) of their debt to France comes due next month, i and it is thought there ie not half that amount in their treasury, yet it awakens no alarm, although there is a considerable number of trench men-of rear about and I in the different ports of the island. In the, event of inability in the Haytien Government to meet the com ing demand, there is no doubt the French will take possession of some of their ports. It will be recol lected that their government a short time ago offered to relinquish the debt due from the Harriet's' in con sideration of them (the French) having the solo trade of the island for a certain number of Jeers, which terms were at that time indignantly refused; but I fear they will soon be compelled to ac k nowledge French power in a more substuutial form than diplomacy. Our trade with Hayti isconsiderible, and is surely worth the notice of our Goverrnent. We have but to look at the eminent service which Capt Freelin, of the U S ship Preble, rendered to Awed interests doting her stay at Aux Cayes, to sat ' y one of thenecessity of having two or three ' f-war e ta-, tioned around this island. IE2 Later from Mexico.--.By the ship Vistula, from Vera Crux. at New Orleans, Ire learn that the first act of the Mexican Covets, at their extra session vas to pass a law for .raisines4,ooo,ooo for the campaign against Texas General Canine" hat bile appointed conmsanderin-chief, and General Woil second in com mand of the army, which- is to consist of 30,000 men. A large amount of theMuniticm; of War, &n., order ed from the United States, ituA England, had been received at Vera Cruz; and Vvras believed that as scum as could be forwarded and distributed at the pro per points, Allas whole army would be put under march ing orders. Windfall for a Teel° laller.—The New York Sun states that some two or three. years ago, a Wise re ble drunkard was picked, literally, out of the gutter, by some benevolent Washingtonians of that city, by whose advice he took the temperance pledgg, and became a sober, industrious and thriving citizen. A few weeks ago be received information that a relatiiiit in England had died and bequeathed to him thirty-five thousand pound; sterling! With the announcement of the fact he recelial a handsome remittance by way of confirmation, ant "oe Sanwa" last he embarked for i England, leaving his family tilt his return. Pre vious to sailing he . called toper a number of his temperance friends and made a feeling and eloquent add re's to them. MASS MEETING.
