THE TARIFF.
MR. EDITOR:—I am in favor of the tariff* poli
cy—in favor of just protection to home industry.
but on examination of the act of IS V 9 has satisfied
me that it discriminates too strongly in favor of
the wealthy and against the poor. I find that arti
cles of luxury, generally, are taxed sery lightly,
and that articles more commonly used pay a much
higher duty. 1 can see no justice in this. It may
be proper for protection to tax the more plain and
common articles to the amount fixed in the act of
1541, but why put such a trifling duty upon arti
cles which are purchased only by those in affluent
circumstances. I have no prejudice against the
rich, in fact I alWays have respect for men who
have gained wealth, and who make a judicious use
of their means. I base said that I find fault with
the act of because luxuries are too lightly
taxed, and in order that I May be Correctly under
stood, I give Oist of articles, generally regarded
as luxuries, with the amount of duty levied under
the acts of 1g.1t4 and 1S40:

that subject to the'Senate, on the!subject embraced'
in said resolution,, which was read. I
Department of S'citc,
Washington ; August 7; 1840.
Sir: I am directed by the President to invite
your attention to the, propriety ef 'making an ap
propriation providing for any expenditure which
it may be necessary to make in [ advance, for the
purpose of settling all our difficulties with the
Mekican Republic. It is his sincere deiire to ter
minate, as it was Originally to avoid, the' existing
war with Mexice,' by a peace just' and honorable
to both partes. The chief obstacle to be surmoun- [
ted in accomplishing this object will probably be
the adjustment of a bouhdary bet Ween the two Re-,
pubties; whith shall be satisfactdry and convenient
to both, and such' s .neither will hereafter be in
clined to disturb. , In the adjustment ofhis-bona
. t
dory we ought to pay a fair equivalent for any con-,
cessions' which may be made by:Mexico.
Under these cireumstances the President deems
it important that, a portion this, sum should be
placed under his control, to , be :advanced, if need
be, tothe Government of that Republic immedi
ately upon the ratification of the treaty. It might
be inconvenient for the Mexican- Government to
wait for the payment of the whole sum until the
treaty could be ratified by our Senate, and an ap
appropriation to carry it in effect made by Con
gress. Indeed; the necessity for this delay might
defeat the object altogether. This disbursement
Of money, should it be made, would of course be
accounted for at the Treasury, • notes secret ser
vice money, nut like other expenditures.
Two precedents for such a proceeding exist in
our past history, during the administration of Mr.
Jefferson, to which I would call your attention.—
On the 20th of February, 1803, an act was passed
appropriatiug two millions of dollars "for the par
pose of defraying any extraordinary expenses which
may be incurred is the intercourse between the
United States and foreign nations, to be applied
under the direction of the President of the United
States, who shall-cause an account of the expendi
ture iereof to be laid before Ccingress as may be.,"
and on the 13th of February, 1;800, an appropria
tion was made of the same amount and in the same
terms. In neither case was the money actually
drawn front the Treasury; .and I should hope that
the result in this respect might be similar on the
present occasion, although .the appropriation may
prose to be indispensable in accomplishing the olr
ject. I would therefore . tespecuully suggest to
you, at the instance of the President, the passage of
a law appropriating two niillions of dollars, to be
placed at his disposal, for the purpose whichl have
indicated.
1 hare the honor to be, sir, with great respect,
your obedient servant, Jii'stss BtimiaLts.cx.

-Mr. R. E. Sztr.r.as,-My wife had been severely
afflicted with the Liver Complaint, and had the assis

without any good effect. Seeing an account of your
deservedly celebrated Liver Pills, in the Pittsburgh
Weekly American I procnred two boxes, and bare
she had taken all of the one box, all the symptoms
of the Iliseased liver disappeared, and now she en
joys. excnlrent health, and to your pills she ascribes
the mbarts of her restoration.

Liver Complaint for about two years, for which I
tried every remedy recommended without any sensi

been much improved, and I'firmly belieVe that when
the directions are strictly followed, they cannot fail

To Tratchers and Directors of Schools
ANEW SPELLlNGBOOK.—McGufrey'snewly
revised Eclectic Spelling Book, showing the
exact sound of each syllable, according to the most
approved principles of English orthoepy. ImproY
ed stereotyped edition of 1840. Price 10 cents,
retail. Teachers and Directors of Schools are re.
specttUlly requested to read the following:
To Tr.A.cusns.—ln remodeling this work it has
been atteMpted, first, to introduce among others ,as
many primitive words as the space would allow,
and-then, in subsequent lessons, to _illustrate by
examples and rules the formation of the more em.
portant derivatives. To the latter subject about
thirty lessons are exclusively devoted, and on this
point this book is believed to be more copiottiand
particular than any in common use. As :these
rules and - illustrations are so full; many words of
this class have been deemed unnecessary. On the
last page the rules for derivatives have been gen
eraliz,ed and extended, so as to include all the more -
important classes of words.
In spelling and pronouncing, the authority of Dr.
Webster has been chiefly followed, although in some
cases, as in the third sounds of e, o and v, and in
a fevv iddividind wor&, that of Worcester has been
_
.
considered more in accordance with common usage.
The last edition of Webster's large work, publish
ed in 1841 with his own corrections, and whichhe
gave to the public as the last reccord of his opin.
ion. the octavo abridg-ment Of that work, con
taining in some instances Worce4tees modifications
and the University edition of 1845, published by
Dr: - Webster's exeeutors j - have
: been in the stan
dard of referece in preparing this work. In all
these, many peculiarities of spelling and Pronunci
ation, found in this author's "Dictionary -for Pri
rnary Shoots,:' and there suggested. as improve
ments, rather than recorded as usage, have been
withdrawn, as having failed to receive the appro
bation of the public. In some instances accord
ing to the plan adopted in the works above refer
ed to, Iwo methods of spelling or of pronouncing a
word -have been given, being considered of nearly
equal authority. -Where common usage is divided
upon any particular word, every teacher should
have the privilege of choice, and if so disposed, of
selecting that which is moat simple in itself, et
most in accordance with anlbgy, and in that way
most promotive of simplicity in general con.struc ,
tion, -
Auctioneer
W. 11-GARRARD
The classffication of words according to the pro-
nunciation of the accented syllable, will be found d
material assistance to the pupil and the teacher..
.
The conviction that system is an important and in
all departments of education, has been strengthen
ed with each successive year of an extensive per
sonal experience on the subject.
In the system of syllabication, the chief object
has been to divide words in such a way as to,indi , ,
cate most-clearly their pronunciation. When, itt
addition to this, the formation of a word from its
toot can be shown by the division of its syllables,
this also has been done. - -
It is hoped that this work, in its present form,
may receive that favor which has been so exten:
sively given to the other volumes of the Eclectic
Series. For sale by the quantity by -- - -
