Letter to a Committee

Rephj lo citizens of
Tennessee.
JLct it be Remembered,
That James K. Polk is opposed to the excel
lent Tariff Acl of 1842, and to all Protection
of American Industry. Also, lhai George M.
Dallas, introduced a Bill into the Senate of the
United Slates to re-charter ihe U. S. Bank, and
voted to pa;s it by tivo-thirds, after Gen. Jack
son had vetoed it.
Lasl week we showed what iilile part Loco
Focoism had in making the Tariff; now let us
sco whether it has been as backward to repeal
it.
WSiat part land Loco-Focoism in tSic
aUcu:p to S&epeal tise Tariff?
At the last session of Congress the Tariff
question was again brought up. Who were in
favor and who against? Mr. McKay, L. F.
from the committee on ways and means report
ed a tariff bill reducing the duties to a low rate,
about 20 per cent. 'When the final vole was
about to be taken, Mr. Elmer moved to lay ii
on the table. The vote on this motion was. a
lest of strength, and stood in favor of laying on
ibfl tahlH. 105 to 99 against it. in favor of
McKay's bill. Of ihe 105 ayes, seventy-seven
were Whigs, all who were elected but four;
and 38 Locos. All the nays were Loco Focos,
except one Whig from Georgia. Here they are:
Every Loco Foco from Maine
Every Loco Foco from New Hampshire
Halfofxhe Loco Focos from Conn.

98
Being moke tiia.v three-Fourths of the
whole Loco Foco delegation in Congress,
voted AGAINST the present Tariff and in favor
of sustaining the LOCO FOCO TARIFF
BILL, of Mr. M'Kav
Why the Locos did not pass M'Kay's bill,
and thus destroy all proteciion, may be seen by
the following declaration of Mr. Henly, a Loco
Foco member Irom Indiana, during a discussion
in the House :
"The Democratic part' has been taunted
with a fear of passing the late tariff bill ? I
can tell gentlemen that the present Tariff will
he reduced so soon as we ('he democracy) arc
in full power. We very well knew that it was
no use io pass it in the House now, as we have
not ihe maioritv in the Senate. Give vs a ma-
;,it there, and THEN SEE IF WE DO
.
25 j NOT PASS THE BILL! WE WILL DO
20!1T! FOR SUCH IS OUR PURPOSE
SUCH IS OUR RESOLUTE DETER MI
NATION!"
The Nashville Union the Organ of Polk and
Jackson, holds the following language
" We wish it borne in mind, that the oppres
sive Tariff of 1812 has been condemned by ev
ery irue democrat, and by none more decidedly
than Mr. Van Buren. That its provisions are
viewed with abhorrence by Goo. Polk and his
friends we need nol repeal.1'
The ITricZt.
We have before us a copy of the Democratic
Union, a leading Polk paper, published at Har.
risburo, which contains .something intended for
a figure, of a dissected Coon, as a representation
of the Whig Pan helow ihe hart of which, is
ihe word "Anti-masonry" The Union sup
poris Pufk, and endeavors to exhibit Clay a
opposed lo the Tat iff.
We have also before us a Polk paper pub
lished in another S'aie, in which is the same
figure, and where the word AntimaMonry occurs
in ihe figure ajs contained in ihe Petiiusylvunia
paper, are the words " High Protective Tariff."
The fact exhihiis concisely, ihe trick attempi
ed.towe played off. In one state. Polk is sup
ported as opposed to jit Protective policy, and
Clay in represented as being in fai-or of it. In
Pennsylvania, Polk is said io be in favor of it,
and Clay opposed to it
Any person wishing to see ih evidence of
the trick, can dp so by calling at the office.

Harrison's tiasaon of Gen. J&arltle.
The Pilisburg Gazelle contains the following
communication from a responsible source.
Mr. White: Being at Washington City,
in March 1841, I was accosted in Pennsylva
nia Avenue, by my old friend, Major James
Moorehead, of Westmoreland county, then at
the seat of Government on business connected
wilh his mail contracts. He was going with
some friend, whose name 1 do not now remem
ber, to pay his respects io General Harrison,
and persuaded me to accompany them to ihe
White House.
We were promptly shown inio the Presi
dent's reception room, and m a few minutes
were joined by 'he venerable and good Harri
son, who readily recognized Maj. Morehead,
from meeting lum ii few weeks before at Pills
burg, and, (what I thought quite remarkable)
also recognized me, from having spent but a
few minutes togclher at Lawrenceburh, Indi
atla, in the previous October. We all knew
how much ihe President was necessarily occu
pied at ihe beginning of his administration, and
remained with him but a few minutes, exceed
ingly pleased with the ease and republican sim
plicity of his manners and conversation during
the interview but especially improseu wiin
the manner of his allusion to Gen. Markle, our
present candidate for Governor. As soon as
the usual civilitics of our reception were passed,
the President remembered that Gen. Markle
was a neighbor of Maj. Moorehead's and en
quired in the most friendly and &oliciious man
ner after his health and when we were about
withdrawing, charged Maj. Moorehead to renew
to Gen. Markle ihe invitation he had given him
at Pittsburg, to visit him at Washington ; and,
said the good old soldier " Tell MARKLE when
he comes lo Washington to come and ENCAMP ;
at the While House. We slept together tinder ;
the same blanUcl, in Uie isorlti-western owamps,
and HE IS AS WORTHY OF THE PAL
ACE AS 1 AM." 1 thought the compliment
so rich and beautiful and so characteristic, that
1 could not forget it.
Maj. Moorehead, if he !
oubtless corroborale my
sees this notice will doubtles
account of the incident, and the people of Penn-1
sylvania will esteem Gen. Markle none the less
for the love and veneraiion with which he was
rfgardeu by the goou atul lamentea Harrison
than whom no one knew him belter.
Testsnioziy of Jols:i Qkibscj Adams.
On retiring from the Presidential office in
1829, Mr. Adams thus spoke of Mr. Clay, in a
7 j lelier addressed io a committee of gentlemen
9 in New Jersey:
4 Upon him the foulest slanders have been
5 showered. Lonn known and appreciated, as
3 successively a member of both houses of your
national legislature, as the unrivalled speaker,
and, at the same lime, most efficient leader of
debates in one of ihem, as an able and success

profit nor honor upon htm, but upon which he I
has shed unfading honor by the manner in!
which he has discharged his dulien. Prejudice
and passion have charged him wilh obtaining
that office by bargain atid corruption. Before
you, my fellow citizens, in the presence of our
country and of heaven, I pronounce that charge
totally unfounded. This tribulo of justice is
due from me to him, and I seize, with pleasure,
the opportunity afforded me by your letter, of
discharging the obligation

who-qiiesliotis ihem come forward. Let nini
look around among statesmen and legislaiors of
this nation and ol thai day. Let him then se
lect and name ihe man, whom by his pre-eminent
talents, by hjs splendid services, by his ar
dent patriotism, by his all-embracing public
spirii, by his fervid eloquence in behalf of the
rights and liberties of mankind, by his long ex
perience in the affairs of the Union, foreign
and domestic a president of the United States,
intent only upon ihe honor and welfare of his
country, ought to have preferred lo Henry Clay.
Let him name the man, and then, judge you,
my fellow citizens, of my motives.
Mr. Clay is a practical farmer, and has done
more to improve ihe agriculture of ihe country,
and cspeciully of the southwest, than any other
one man in the Union. ' The Buffalo Commer
cial tells us he was ihe first man to import from
England the best Dmhatu caltle and the best
breeds of swine and take ihem io the far West.
The best sheep in Spain and the host animals
for breeding mules ever seen.in Kentucky, were
imported by the patriotic farmer of Ashland.
The best specimens of water rolled Hemp sent
to ihe Atlantic cities from the southwest, came
with directions published or ihe benefit of all,
how lo prepare it, from life farm of this distin
guished agriculturist. And yet, because Mr.
Clay, seeing all loreTgr ports closed against
American agricultural podncis, desires io ex
tend the home consumption of these articles, he
is lo be denounced as iie enemy ol lho honest
culiivator ol ihe soil ! rA ewary Uauy Adv.

A ILiVEtsg Wonder.
Within five miles of H tints ville, Alabama,
there lives a negro boy. He was seventeen
years old last August, and weighs ovr 200lbs.
Bui his lodij is not the wonder. Il is his mind,

On ihe 8th June, JS44 Rev. John C. Bur

him, and were amazed. From himself and
Mr. McLemore, (his master,) we learned l hat
he has no idea of a God. When asked, "who
made you?" he answered, ' nobody." He has
never been but a few times half a mile from
the place of his birth. He has not mind enough
to do the ordinary work of a slave; eats and
sleeps in the same house wiih the white folks,
having his. own table and bed. lie will not

hungry, unless it be offered to turn. He was

master lold him to walk about and rest himself.
He went into the yard and appeared to be al
ternately elated with rapture, and depressed
with eloom. Ho would run, jump up, throw
his arms into the air above his head; then stand
still, and then drag his fool over the weeds,
look up and dbw n; in a word he took on all
sons of crazy motions. Wo sat down to dine,
and when we arose, we found him on the piaz

Did he had done il, I said, how much is it? Ho
answered, 'eigh'een millions, five hundred and
fourteen ihousand, eight hundred and. fifteen.'
What? saidl. He replied, '18,514,815.'
We could get no cine to the mental process
hv wloVh h ascertained such results. When
asked, how he did ii; his unvarying answer
was1 studies it up.' But what do you dp first,
and what next? He merely drawled out, 'I
studies it up.' He did not count on his fingers,
nor any thing external, nor indeed did he seem
lo count at all; and yet he combined thousands
and millions, and played with their combina
tions, just as others would with units. All the
instruction he ever received, was from his mas
ter, who learned him to count one hundred; arid
would ask him 'how many twenties in a hun
dred, and how many fives, &c.
On the following Monday, 1 saw him again,

Premature Apples.
Every apple that falls from ihe treo before

will be found, on examination, to contain'' a
small worm or maggot, which m aid to be th

leave the apple soon after it falls, and enter iba
