Bui. ir. we aretoId that the Whia am - - ' t t- nart.v wiHiotii nnnaiDtes. ' Oir. are not -I J l 4 - :prihcip!ei known and avowed every where?

I - t .1 : t.rn ly belong, to pay their debts, and relieve people Irom taxation. J hen resulateine riff, so as to suuplv revenue enough for.an numici'il administration of the Federal Govern mem, by imposing protcctiro .duties on articles as we can nnJ ooghi to supply at home, and revenue duties on luxuries and articles not produced, sufficient to supply the want3 of Go vernmeat. This is the Whig system. Now, sir, what is the Van Buren system? Just the reverse. It is to refuso all relief to the people and the States, by distribution or otherwise ; to reduce the Tariff", and let in foreign goods to ih destruction of our own industry ; exhaust the wealth and currency of the country to pay for them ; double the expenses of Government, 10 enrich office-holders and favorites, and leave tha Government ayain as they left it in 1840, after twelve years adminutration, impoverish- ed, and overwhelmed with bankruptcies and debts, State and National, amounting to more than two hundred and twenty millions of dol lars. How was it, sir, during ihe twelve pre ceding years, when Whig policy prevailed? Look at the ofncul teporis Ironi the 1 reasury, and you will find, sir, that during that period we paid off Ml millions of the war debt, ex pended 12 millions for internal improvements, and left the country with a surplus revonue of more than 12 millions a year, a sound currency and universal prosperity : but in 1828 there came a cnanjie. i Tho next twelve years was a period of disastrous experiments, resuliin; in the excessive increase of banks, the ruin of the currency, the inordinate importation of foreign goods, the consequent destruction of agricul ture, manufactures, and ihe mechanic arts, and ihe involvement of the States and people in a 'foreign debt of more than 250 millions, which now hangs like a millstone about their necks. Tho people could stand it no longer ; they de termined m 1840 to have a change to throw ofT this incubus but, by an unforeseen event, y this was defeated. The period is, however, rapidly approaching when tho people will again come to the rescue, and achieve the great ob ject they then had in view. But we are told, sir, by Mr. van Buren him self, that this glorious revolution of 1840, was the result of infatuation, folly, and madness, on tho part of the people. Sir, is this true ? Is it not a foul slander on the American charac ter? Is it not a gross insult to the people, and will it not be so regarded ? Sir, that election was the result of a deep and deliberate convic tion of the ruinous effects of Mr. Van Buren s policy effects seen and felt, severely felt, throughout this land. The people saw that nothing but a change a thorough change could save the country from hopeless bankrupt cy and ruin. That conviction has since- been strengthened and confirmed; and the beneficial effects of the Whig tariff of '42, now rapidly restoring the national prosperity, furnishes new and powerful motives to stimulate and siTength en the friends of reform. Sir, if you want evi dence, look to the unequivocal indications of public opinion throughout the country Is not the " handwriting upon the wall," in characters so large and legible thai "he who runs may read? In 1840, the people, by the unprece I jUnted majority of J4fLp0fJ pronounced judg mem against mr. "an ijiiren -- - orerenrr.' flhout a changer Anu where aro th changes jn his favor ? Where is the man who voted against him then, who is for him nw? or if there be anv such changes,' are there not two to one the other way? Bui, sir, if there were nothing else, the passage of this bill, withholding from the people, in their lime of need, their share of the Public Lands, and the attempt to repeal the Tariff of '42, and again inundate tho country with foreign goods, break down our own farmers, mechanics, and manufacturers, by the passage of this destruc tire, anti-American, auti-iariff bill, would of it elf be abundantly sufficient to condemn any party, however popular, with a vast majority of the free, enlightened, and patriotic people of this country. The people will not permit any man, or par ty of men, long to trample upon their rights and interests with impunity. I know, sir, they have borne much for the riake of party; ihey have excused bad actions by the axcripiion of good motivcR. But there is a point where "forbear ance ceases to be a virtue;" that point has been reached and transcended.

The idea of such an Agency is original with Mr. Palmer, and was first put into operation by him in 1841, in Philadelphia. Since that time he has transacted business for upwards of one hundred and filly newspapers, much to the convenience and profit of the business men in the City and the Merchants, and others, in the vicinity of their publication. In order to extend his means of usefulness, he has now opened an Agency in the Ciiy of New-York, ai No. 160 Nassau street, where he will receive orders for subscription, adverlis ing, &c. for all the papers for which he acts as Agent in Philadelphia, and for as many more as may authorize him to do so. The u Jeffersonian Republican," for which he is authorized to receive and account for sub scriptions advertising, &e. is published weekly simultaneously, at Stroudsburg, Monroe coun ty, and at Milford, Pike county. As the Mer chants in and about Milford-, do all iheir busi ness in New-York, and xomc from Stroudsburg, also trade thre, this paper affords unusual fa cilities for business men in New-York, to ad vertise. The paper haj a good circulation, and ihe terms arc very reasonable. 1 hose inter ested, therefore, will find it lo iheir advantage to make their business ki.own through its col umns This can be donb by calling on Mr. Palmer, at either of his offices. Snails of a Jadsje. We regret io larn that his Honor Judge Baldwin, one of the-Justices of the Supreme Court of the United States, died at his lodgings, at the Merchant's Hotel, Philadelphia, on Sa turday morning last.

A Bill passed ihe House of llepresenlattves, at Harrisburg, for the sale of the Main Line of our Public Works, from Philadelphia, to Pitis burg, forhe sum of twenty Millions of Dollars. One of the sections provides, that before the wo!Pks shall be offered for sale, ihe question fhall'be first subuitued to the people, at tho next General Election, to say whether they shall be sold or not. In ihe Senate, the com mittee to whom the Bill was referred, have re ported it without any material amendments or allegations.

The capital is fixed at one hundred thousanudollars, and all of ii must be paid in before the Bank dare coramen.ee operations. The restrictions are also other wise salutary. A Bank, at Allcntown, proper ly conducted, is very much needed, and would, no doubt, greatly relieve the wants of the peo ple in that vicinity. The Aiaaaexation off Texas. The Treaty, for tho Annexation of Texas to the Union, although it has been signed nearly two weeks, had not yet been sent to the Senate on Monday .last. A great deal of interest is manifested throughout the country, as to 's ; . i .i . I fate. Mr. Webster, and several other distin guished men, have written strong and able let ters, against the annexation; whilst Mr. Wil kins, and Gen. J Hamilton, have written others in favor thereof. The general impression is, that two thirds of the Senate aro not friendly lo the measure. A rumour, however, is going the rounds, to the effect, lhat if tho Senate refuse to ratify the Treaty by a vote of two thirds, Mr. Tyler will then submit the matter to boih Hou ses of Congress, and ask them to admit Texas by a joint Resolution (which will require but a bare majority,) on the ground of its having for merly been a portion of the territory of the U. States. Should Texas bo admitted, we look upon a war with Mexico as inevitable. A jLox Cabin. . The gallant Whigs of Camden, N.

It was opened on Friday evening last, in the presence of a large cenconrse of people from the neighbour hood, and Philadelphia. Col. Swift, Jos. It. Chandler, and other distinguished Whigs, made speeches on the occasion. The people of Jer sey are up and doing. Yirssjia Election. Th annual election in this State for mem bers of the Legislature, will take place to-day. The Locos, who had the power last year, have so gerrymandered it, however, lhat there is hardly a 'possibility of the Whigs carrying a majority of the members. Upon a full poll, we have no doubt the Whigs have from 3 to 5000 majority cf the popular vote, as will be seen next fall. Tiic Tariff.

The St. Louia Republican says, that letters have beu receive from Oregon as late as the 20th of October. One letter says thai the set' tlement had beenyhreatened with an "Indian war," by a combiation ol three of tho most powerful tribes wLi of ihe Rocky Mountains, and although, whh united and aciing, in con cert, thev are saidlo be abundantly able to de stroy all ihe Indiai in trie Territory, still with out union, they maibe cut off in detail.
