This will always he the case.— Manufactures make every thing cheap,;— Nails:, an article which has been protected, are now made and sold in our own country for less than the duty on the foreign arti cle:.

On all sides we see movements relative to an alteration in the tariff, so as to pro cure protection to 'certain of the American Manufactures, and provide ways and means for the Natalia! Gournnient. It is time that the :subject was fully considered, and that the voice of tlie, people was heard at Washington. It is now a source tation, that even in. Eastern Virginia, there are strong .evidences of a wish that o c:on= gresS should legislate for the protection. of American labor. And in parts of the coun ,where manufactures are more exten sively established, there are decided of-- dences,of a determination to make 'a strong ; appeal in behalf of American - interests. 1 1 In the meantime, it appears to no thOt Pennsylvania is, as usual, rather backward in: expressing ber opinion, and .making known her wants. We trust . that the time has gon,e''`by when one State can declare that she thinks a protective tariff necessary to the profiperity of the nation; and yet thinks it. her duty to elect rulers opposed to that tariff. The subject is one that comes home to the interest of then thousand laboring men of our city and 'districts, who . are looking forife l means.of supporting their families. These' means; Or rather the chances of these means,' must be lliminishec, if Con gress neglects the wants of the cotintrY: This is a subjeetwhieh, calls for the early and close consideration of our citi zens.

Ilis proceeds - from the most-generous "and noble emotions of the human heart—:an emotion to serve' faithfully his country, and his fellow creatures. Ilis heart is pure; and his spirit mild, and at the same time, proud and inflexible. 'His private life, like his public, is ilaentit,-,1 hp si Rinale tarnish. P.l+sollal or party malignity have never whispered. aught against the purity of his Motives. There is a Moral' grandeur—a beauty—in the character of this eminently great and good man, .which 'challenges the warmest . admiration. His manners are plain, subdued and attractive. As a law yer, he holds the highest rank in the coun try. He has long been the pride and orna ment of the Philadelphia bar, which-is pro verbial for its legal eminence. . .Mr. Sergeant's, first great effort on the floor' of Congress,, was on the cerebrated Missouri Question. -It at once' established his character as an eloquent orator, and the high order of his intellect, and elicited the highest encomiums from all sides of the house. John Randolph, at that. time a member, and violently opposed to the views presented by Mr. Sergeant, paid him the rare compliment-to itdOse to retire at .once from public life upon-the laurels which he Gad then won;. that it mot' iii" the power of human intellect to gather more. His style of public speaking is marked by the same simplicity which so greatly dis tinguishes his whole character. It is plain and deeply interesting. His voice le strong and agreeable; uses no effect, and his sin cerity of manner inspires all who listen to him with cOnfidence. 'There is a freshness in his language, and a copiousness of ideas'in every thing which 'emanates from him that very. few public men possess. His imagination is just suf ficient to' *give an agreeable polish to his argument. His. wit is playful, and he uses it sparingly. Souli4-'philosophical reason ing and feeling eloquence are the promi nent characteristics of his mind.
