went•out of power, Jartnary 183.9, and the

be born •in mind by the People.

bate in the Senate on the Bankrupt bill. .
Mr. CALHOUN- aid. not, concur with the
Senator from Pennsylvania, 614 there
would be efforts made' to repeal • this bill.
.He had no duubtit would be a popular bill
at the first going off, but if 'he were not
greatly mistaken, in the end it would.,bo
directly the reverse. There was a . very
largo debtor clas.s iii,, the-United States in
favor of this bill, cull there was a deep feel
ing of sympathy on the part °title Ameri
can people in their favor, they not seeing
how the bill was. going 'to . opperate. And
when it had passed, ina hoped no member
on. his side of the house would move a fin
ger towards a repeal; it would be absurd
to do so.. Let it'gotni, and-if thebill itself
'Was not calculated 'to blow Sky-higit4iny'
administration that paSsed it-he was!ilfeh
mistaken. He believed the Party now in
power. was a 'doomed party; but 'if •not he
believed the course that party was pursu
ing, was leading it to destruction; they
.would be bloivit sky-high and heard of no
more. thaughtea_ •
Mr. CuynnErer said if?there were any
'Aimee 'Of making any change in this bill;
he should be greatly rejoiced, for there Was

TEA AND COFFEE
The Pennsylvanian attacks us upon what
it considers our defence of the duties on
"tea - and .c . offee ;." but. it neglects_ to...state,
the case as we put it, and as it now stands,
viz:. that. he . wasteful extravagance of the
Locofoco Adininistrations had rendered ne
cessary some additional income to the trea
sury.. Protective . duties had for a time
become unpoprilar, and seemed partly
barred by the compromise act, and both•
parties joined to include tea and coffee .a
:bong the articles with lowest duties. A
prominent and valuable Whig, Mr. Law
rence, of Washington county, it will be re
collected, opposed the • measure. While
we•write this, we find; in . the Portland Ad-
Vertiser an argument on the same, subject,
a portion of which we press into out. set.? I
:vice.— United Stales gazette. - ; • '
But the tax on tea and coffee has been
assailed with great violence by the_opposi
.tion, because they cannot op,erate upon
public prejudice in this way on the ground
that a duty owtheseforeign luxuries is a
tax upon necessarie4. Every administra
tion of the governme ut one from the
adoption of the - Fede al Constitution, has
~\ e„..l
lesiied a tax upon tea and_ coffee, and this,
tax has.existe for .44 years out of the 52
that,the goVafnment has been established,
and - Oyer has , it beewso lowon.either• of
these-articles as the present _ bill proposes,
except on e - offee in the -single year 1 , 832.
when it was one cent : a
.potnd. The first
duty imposed was in 1789, 21 -cents on
, coffeq and an,averoge, of 12 cents a pound
on teas; these duties' Were 'raised next year

• :In 1801 coffee we's raised .to 5 cents. a

it was . raited to 10 cents, and so continued
airitil' the tariff of .1818, when it .was re.?

him for that purpose.
Among the recent arrivals at this Post,
Were a party of 17 from . Sato Jones' camp,
brought herd by, a friendly Indian sent to
them by Col. Worth. Several of them are
very intelligent, and have made' important
disclosures ; they will be 'of incalculable
benefit to the Colonel in his operations
South and East in the fall. Our intelligence
front . Fort King is also very cheering.—
Got. Kiley - has received a message from

he able to•procure a . conference with him.
The messenger reports that he is in ,bad

have pushed him too close ; and - if

Jones would only give up he would at once

children, With their proisions 'have been

You may rely on it, the game is nearly up
