american Doctrine. Mr. Abbot Lawrence made an able and patriotic speech before the Convention of Leather Manufacturers, in Massachu setts. Atter estimating the amount of revenue required to be raised for the sup port of go, ernment, and arguing for spe-i cifie duties, such as will protect certain branches of industry front foreign compe- , tition, he says: The difficulty now arises, how shall the duties be assessed? or shall it be a horizontal duty of thirty-three and a third , per cent. ad valorem on every thing? or shall we adopt the principal of discrimi nation and specific duties? From con siderable experience in these matters, 1 have no doubt whatever of the expediency, nay, the necessity of adopting the latter. Ditcrtmination was adopted in the first tariff established, and should not, and l must not be abandoned. Specific duties are far more safe and convenient, in most cases, than the ad valorem system. All practical merchants agree in regard to the utility of specific ditties. Our experi ence should not be lost upon us, 'Fite revenue, I am confident, would be much larger under specific duties, equal to twenty-five per cent, than ad valorem duties, of thirty-five per cent. The ef fect of ad valorem duties has been to place the foreign importations of the country in the hands of the foreigners; a great pro• portion of the ad valorem goods imported from Great Britain are brought to us by British subjects, and nine tenths of all the ad valorem merchandize imported Into New York from France is imported by Frenchman. So it is with ad valorem German goods. 1 deem it essential that there should be a specific duty upon boots and shoes. Under the tariff of 1832, you had a specific duty of one dollar and fifty cents per pair on boots, and thirty cents on shoes. Now there have been, under the reduction of the compromise act, large quantities of French and German boots imported: the best of French boots cost four dollars, and the second three dollars, end perhaps at two dollars and fifty cents, and from Germany at two dollars. A duty of thirty three and one third per cent., would not give you the protection that would enable you to pay the laborer any thing like the wages he has been in the habit of receiving: of course if his wa ges ere materially reduced, he and his family must be deprived of many of the cotnforts they have usually enjoyed. Be sides, you degrade the character of our now independent laboring people, when you reduce the wages of labor so low as not to allow them the means of educating their children, and clothing them decent ly, that they may attend public worship and the Sunday schools on the Sabbath. We mould exert all our efforts to elevate, and not depress the laboring classes.—, We live under a popular government, founded on public opinion, and it is to the intelligence of the people we are to look for its stability and permanency. Sir, I am for universal education. I have no fear of the people learning and knowing too much. Our Government connot, and will not stand, but with an intelligent and moral population. Shall we compare and place in the same scale the free intellectual, industrious mechan ics and workingmen of our country, with those half-paid, half-starve parish•fed people of Europe? No, sir, my indigna tion is excited when I hear it said that the reason why we cannot compete with the old countries in manufactures and the mechanic arts, is because labor is too high —we must bring down the labor it is said, arid then we shall go very well. Sir, I do not desire to compete with foreign labor. I hope never to see the time when labor can be obtained at the price it is now in Great Britain. A fair handloom weaver obtains but from 85,75 to $2, per week, Farmers may be hired for 20 to 25 cents per day, nod most kinds of median ice in proportion; paid, of course, accor ding cling to the skill and employments. Most I articles of subsistence, too you must re member, are double the price they are with us. Upon the continent of Europe, labor is still lower. Can we, shall we' throw open our great contry to the produc. lions of all the world, and maintain a free trade, which is all on one side? Not a l country in Europe will take an article from this country, that are not obliged to receive either for revenue or their manu• l factures. Cotton they cannot at present do without, although au effort is making, and I fear a successful one, by Great, Britain to supply herself with the common qualities from India. Tobacco is taxed for revenue with a duty of from 3 to 800 per cent.—Flour, pork, beef. in short all our great staples, with the exception of cotton, tobacco and rice, are prohibited, and every article that competes in the slightest degree with their labor. And yet they have the assurance in England to write books and pamphlets, to make speeches, and send out reports from the British House of Commons upon the sub limated beauties of Free Trade. MF.LANcitoLy DEATH.--Wilson, alias Runge Thompson, late of Montgomery county, (son of John Thompson,) was out turkey hunting, on the morning of the 30th ult., and whilst in the act of stepping over it log, he was bit by a rattlesnake on the hind part of his leg just above the ankle,— As soon as he discovered the snake he shot it, he said, and ran home as fast as he could. Having run near half a mile, he fell in the road near a small Lranch. Want ing water very much, and not being able to walk, he rolled over until he got to the branch, and drank as much as he wanted. He was not discovered until about two o'clock, P. M when lie was in a most bor. rid condition, the blood having settled about his eyes, and every muscle and sinew in a perpetual motion, though he was not much swelled. When found, he was in his right mind, though he appeared to be insensible of his misery, and said tie ! would soon be well again. He poiated out the place where he had killed the' snake, and said it was as large around as the call of his leg. There appeared, to be four small holes on his leg where he was bit, and the upper ones were at least one and an half inches apart. Ile was taken home, but too late, every rem.' edv proving unavailable. He expired on Friday morning, the Bth ult., without a struggle, being about twenty-four hours after he was bit.—Raltigh(N. C.)

THE LADIES OUT FOR THE TARIFF.-A number of lathes of Philadelphia have' come out in behalf of Tariffprincipals, and , have addressed their fellow or rather sis -1 ler citizens throughout the Union invoking) their aid and co-operation. They con clude their address thus: " Ladies of the Union: we invite your co-operation—exert your influence—give your preferences to the productions of American labor, and the Government will throw its shield around us, for there is no axiom more firmly settled, than that A nation cannot be independent and prosperous, while she withholds the meed of preference to the labor of her own peo ple;" we shall then have the pleasing re flection of having contributed something to restore our beloved country to that high and prosperous position a beautiful and wise Providence had prepared for her." RETRIBUTIVE JUSTICE 07 THE INDIAN. —An event took place at Prarie Du Chien, last week, which strongly marks the sav age character. Two Indians, of the Win ebago nation quarrelled, upon which one stabbed the other to the heart; he made almost superhuman effort to escape, but the moment his pursuers touched him he surrendered and walked back, and seated himself upon the dead body, without once attempting to escape. The relatives of the dead Indian placed him upon the body, when several gentlemen interfered in be halt of the captive, and requested that he might be allowed to go, because he was not 60 much in fault as the other. They were answered, that, it " white men" would pay fifteen dollars to the mother of the deceased, he might go, otherwise he must die. This condition not being com plied with, he was doomed. During this negotiation the savage sat upon the body of his foe, smoking his pipe perfectly in different as to the issue, and when told he must dip, hp tioliberaloly removcd Dia l pipe, giving the usual " Ugh I" His exe cutioner then stepped behind him, and with a single blow of the hatchet, severed the right arm at the shoulder; upon this the Indian resumed his pipe, and began to smoke as if nothing had happened; in a short time the executioner, with a blow, severed the left arm. The Indian still re. tained his upright position, not a muscle' of his face changing; a third blow across the small of the back brought him to the ground; even his countenance wore the same cold, serene and stoic expression.— He was, however, soon cut in pieces by the relatives of the dead man. This was an in , stance of Indian retribution and savage fortitude.—Dubuque Express. an affray. The Washington Correspondent of the United States Gazette, gives the follow. ing account of the affray which occurred between Messrs. Stanly and Wise on Saturday last: As Mr. Stanly and Mr. Wise were coming from the race course yesterday evening, it unluckil/ so happened that they rode out of the yard, in which their horses had been tied, nearly abreast of each other, and proceeded in that way some distance on the road, Wise, as I understand, keeping his eye fixed fiercely upon Stanly, and the latter, occasionally, turning his upon him. As they were ap proaching a large mud hole that extended across the road. Stanly's horse which was a headstrong, awkward, clumsy, ani-, mal, shyed off and ran against Wise's' with such a force as to throw the right leg' of one, and the left leg of the other rider out of their stirrups. Stanly's horse at the same time passing ahead. Mr. S. en deavored to hold up, and was in the act of turning to apologise to Mr. W. and state that it was an accident, when Wise spurred forward and with a loaded rattan, broke through the crown of his hat just above the temple, and the rim was also broken. For an instant Mr. S. was com pletely stunned, and lost his sight, but still held his horse. As soon as he recov ered his senses, he told Wise that he had done the dastardly act to stmike an un armed man—one who had not even a switch in his hand, Irons behind ; that the shying of his horse was a circumstance he could not prevent, and he was turning to apologize to him for it, when he received his cowardly blow. Mr. Wise replied that he had called him a coward in the House, and he had now given bins a blow, lie might take both. A Mr. Sparks of Mississipp i , who had observed Mr. Wise looking at dr. Stanly, in the way mentioned, and had rode up and endeavored to engage Mr. W. in con versation, with the view of drawing him off, now fearing a serious rencontre, re marked to both, that he hoped they would not carry the affair any further there.-- Mr. S. said no, he should not and rode on, Here it ended for the present, at least.--. Whether any thing more will grow out of it, I am unable to say ; it is evident, how ever, that Mr. W. wishes to provoke a challenge, that he may dictate his condi tions. The blow given by him, was given with an instrument, and a force, that indi cated a determination to kill or seriously injure ; and the first would have been the result had the ball struck two and a half or three inches lower, and it might have been the case but for the hat arresting in, some degree the force of the blow. I make no comment upon the affair, but give the tacts as a gentleman who had them from the only eyewitness of the whole, related them to me without " ea• tenuating or setting down ought in mal ice," leaving every man to judge of them for himself, and to censure whom he may think deserves his censut e. STARVATION WAGES.—II is stated in a London paper that the competition in what is technically called slop work is carried to such a tremendous extent at the est end of that vast metropolis as to be runious to the numerous and industrious class of women who maintain themselves by the needle. A few years ago shirt making' was reduced to three shillings a dozen, ,yielding them a miserable subsistence, but from that price it is said to have become 'gradually lessened, till many of the Jew employers and sellers pay but ninepence a dozen, or three farthings a shirt! Facts for Poor Men. The enemies of a Protective Tariff; or a protection for American labor and indus try, endeavor to induce the impi ession that a tariff is a tax on the poor for the benefit of the rich, when the very reverse is the fact. The rich do not want a tariff to protect them—they would be better off without it, for having money they could command the labor of other countries, where a win works for FIVE CENTS a day, and finds himself, while the poor of this country would be obliged to work for the same beggar's pittance or starve, or steal and go to the penitentiary. This is a plain but important fact, which ought to be impressed upon the mind of every poor laboring man in the United States. The following extract of a letter from an American Cotton planter in India, recent ly published in the Savanna Georgian, corroborates what we have stated, and shows what a state of things would present themselves here, if there were no restric tions of trade between this and other countries, where the pauper and hard money system of labor prevails. The runner nays : " I can hire five men here for what would be paid in Georgia for a sixteen years old boy, and as many day laborers as I want at FIVE CEIV TS A DAY AND FIND THEMSELVES; and rent only cost e 2 25 an acre. So you see it does not require much means to hire a whole village with all its land and inhabi tants." Tle following from the Rochester Daily Democrat, speaks volumes in favor or Protection for American Industry: 50 THOUSAND LABORERS WANTED. Wanted, fifty thousand strong, healthy men to work in iron mines and shops in ,the northern part of this ,State. None need apply unless they can work for the same price they do in Birmingham, and in the iron works in Germany, viz: 11 pence a day and find themselves. FREE TRADE & CO. EMIGRATION TO Oaccox.—A meeting has been held in the western part of Mis• souri Ibr the purpose of organizing a com pany to emigrate to the Oregon territory. Thirty were enrolled and pledged them selves for the expedition. A committee was appointed to visit the neighboring counties for the purpose of enlisting others in the enterprise. The emigrants take their families with them, and look forward to a permanent settlement beyond the Rocky Mountains. We notice these movements, since they are indications of the times worthy to be noted. Oregon will soon be brought un der a territorial government, and will be recognised as a part of the United States, just as lowa and Wisconsin are. Mr. Senator LINN has not succeeded yet, we believe, in getting his bill through Congress —but he may be sure of success in the end. If Great Britian, in reference to the Oregon country, pursues the procrastena• ', ting course which she sometimes adopts' in her diplomatic manoeuvres, the result will be that the question and the country will both be settled at once, without any trouble to her ambasadors. A GREAT floc.—A hog was killed at Geneva, New York, last week, which weighed alive 1,108 pounds, and dressed 1,040 pounds ; length from the root of the' tail to the end of the nose, seven feet and eight inches; height, three feet and five inches. The age of the hog was 2 years and 11 months. It is supposed there were 400 persons present on the occasion. STEAM ON THE CANAL.—The steam Ca nal boat Black Hawk started this morning for Lockport. This boat is propelled by la paddle wheel fixed at the stern, and from tall appearance will undoubtedly answer the purpose, there being scarcely any more swell occasioned, than by the usual man. Iner of towing by horses.—Buffalo Econo mia, April 2. At a sale in New York, of the splendid furniture ola bankrupt, who paid as much as fifty per cent. on his debts, the auction eer in selling a suit of window curtain said, " Ladies and gentlemen, if the f rige on these curtains did no cost forty' 41- lars a yard, it is no sale. The furniture of the house cost twelve t i liousand dollars; a barouche and horses sixteen hundred ; the rent of the house twelve hundred per annum; the annual support of the whole establishment about seven thousand dol lars.—Sun. Here is the fruitful cause of so much bankruptcy--extravagance, living in a style of splendor which a princely fortune could scarcely maintain, and which cer tainly cannot be supported on the ordina ry profits of a fair business. Men have been too much accustomed In measuring their means by their ability to borrow, and not by the actual income of their business. Under a system which turned 'attention from the production of real wealth to the manufacture of paper dollars, it was no difficult matter to borrow, and every body accordingly lived upon his credit instea d of his industry. The breaking down of ' the stem left an enormous amount of indeliteifness, which required the passage of a bankrupt law to enable the debtors to wipe out their obligations. As this vicious system directly fosterell extravagance, its explosion will force persons necessarily back to habits of economy ; men must live by creating wealth instead of consuming it; means must be husbanded to make them meet the ends. The day of borrow ing is over, and that of working is coin. menced, and for the next ten years the country will be possessed of more real wealth than it has ever been.— U. Slates. Tun ['Elms OF EDITORSIIIP.—An ed• itor in Vicksburg not only has to be prac tised in the use of the pen, but also expel t in that of the pistol. Mississippi has been infested with a nest of unprincipled scoun drels, gamblers, and swindling financiers, whose acts have been pretty well exposed by Dr. Hagan, the most formidable oppo nent they ever met with. They attempted to put llagan out of the way by assassitia ling him, but as his courage was equal to his daring, this plan failed, and the doctor came off victorious. He is now on a visit to Europe, and the pipet. Is left in charge of J. S. Fall, Esq., towards whom the same course is pursued that was practised against Hagan. He has already been engaged in one duel for remarks concerning one of the trustees of the Railroad Bank, Mr. J. E. Robins, who sent the challenge. After the meeting, Mr. Fall was charged with having raised his pistol to fire before the word, and another meeting, from the tem per displayed in the controversy, will in What/1y grub,. uut or flit charge. Mr. Fall seems to be imbued with some of the invincible spirit of Ilagan, and will proba bly come oft victor. IMPORTANT DECISION IN BANKRUPTCY. —Judge Story, on Saturday last, gave his opinion in the much mooted question as to the effect of attachments of the property of bankrupts prior to the institution of proceedings in bankruptcy. The result to which he came was, that suck attach ments would not hold the property, but would in eject. be dissolved by the proceed. ings in bankruptcy. This decision is considered of more importance by legal gentlemen, than any which is likely to arise under the bankrupt law, and in some of the States, it will make a vast dilierence in the effects of bankrupts. SOMETHING Naw.—How much of the puff spirit there may be in the following description, we know not. It is from the Boston Transcript: Mr. Mann, the artist who constructed the model of the Falls of Niagara, now exhibiting at the Boston Museum, has done himself great credit by his exercise of mechanical ingenuity. In a space of about twenty feet in width is combined a very correct idea of that stupendous work of nature. By an admirable elect of per spective by the artist, Robert Jones, the river appears to ran for miles to the falls, over which pours a sheet of REAL WATER —while below is seen the foam and the mist, which, together with the deep roar of the cataract—the rainbow now appear ing, and now lading away—renders the illusion perfect. A terrific thunder storm, with lightning, &c., closes the exhibition. COST OF MATOH-BREAKINO.-At Bali fax last week, a Miss Moren obtained a verdict of two hundred pounds, damages, in an action for slander, against Mr. Elli ot, of the firm of Stewart & Elliot. The lair plaintiff, it appears, had formed a matrimonial engagement with Stewart, but Elliot broke off the match by the slander ous aspersions of her character which formed the ground of the action. His only excuse was that the slander being uttered to his partner, he thought it was a privileged one. He must have had strange notions of the laws of partnership. ~_, TEMPERANCE CAUSE IN ST.

Harney, Captain Pearson, arrived here from Pilatka yes• terday, we have the following hastily written lines from one of our correspond ents. We suppose our friends are too busy to write us more at length. Correspondence of the Savannah Republican. PILATKA, May 4. Gentlemen—l have to inform you that the glorious news has just been received' through Major Belknap, that Ilulleck Tus2 tenugg;ee and party have surrendered to' Colonel Worth at Fort McClure, in all eighty, including twenty-six warriors.-1 I Several Creeks and Sum Jones' people, are among them. Yours, &c Thus, our confident anticipations, ex pressed the other day, are fully confirmed. We presume that the writer does not mean to say that all of Sam Jones' people 'are in. But it augurs well that a few of them are, and justifies the expectations, which we formed on the reception of our last news, of his probable surrender.— This cheering news is fully sustained by advices received by the Quarter Master at this place.—Sao. Rep. air. Clay at home. The Lexington Ky. Intelligencer of the 3rd inst. says: It having been announced that Mr. Clay would probably reach the county limits on his return home, on yesterday forenoon, a large concourse of his fellow citizens assembled near the bridge six miles from the city, on the Maysville Turnpike, for the purpose of greeting and bidding him welcome to the retirement he has chosen. He was attended from Mays. ville by a portion of the committee of re ception, who had proceeded there for that purpose. In Paris, he was joined by a numerous escort of the citizens of Bour bon. Near the Fayette line an immense assemblage of his fellow citizens and a large number of ladies, awaited his ap proach. Upon his arrival at this spot, he was addressed by Dr. J. C. Cross, who had been appointed to speak the welcome that every heart felt. And well did he execute his task. His address was brief, pertinent and eloquent—every heart in that vast multitude beat responsive to the, words of the speaker, as he recounted the services of our distinguished fellow citi zen, and expressed the gratitude which those cervices hail inspired, and bid him welcome to the bosom of his family and his friends. _ tsar. (lay from the open barouche in which he was placed, responded to the welcome which had been tendered him by his fellow citizens through Dr. Cross, in a few particularly happy and appropriate , remarks—expressing his hearty acknowl edgments of the honor shown him by the manner of his reception. The procession' then moved on in the following order: the Bourbon escort in advance—the Commit tee of Reception in open carriages— Mr. Clay with the Chairman and two members of the Committee, in an open barouche, drawn by four grey horses—ladies in car riages—citizens in carriages and on horse back. In this order, Mr. Clay was escor ted into the city. Upon its arrival at the city limits between I and 2 o'clock, the bells upon the several churches and other public buildings set up a merry peal, and continued while the procession was mo ving through the city. The procession passed down Limeston to Second, thence to Broadway, down Broadway to Main street, and op Main street to Ashland, the residence of Mr. Clay. .1 Struggle in .111exico. The Baltimore American has a letter' dated April Bth, which says : "The continuance of the present dy• nasty in Mexico, I think, is assured until the meeting of Congress in Jane next, for the concocting of a new constitution. All the Elections throughout the Republic have gone against Santa Anna's party; and the consequence will be a dreadful strife between the Executive and this burly. The President has the army, and the Congress the people on their side, and it is difficult to foresee the issue; though many of the popular leaders of the Feder al party, (i. e. the party in favour of the Constitution of 1824, which resembles our own,) imagine that a total anarchy will ensue, resulting finally in the success of an entire popular government as opposed to a strong central one." The Great Race. THE NORTHERN HORSE VICTO• RIOUS The great race, so long announced, be tween the Northern horse Fashion and the Southern one, Boston, took place on Tues day last, on the Long Island Course. This race, it will be remembered, was produced by a challenge given by Col. W. R. Johnson, the " Napoleon of the Turf," and James Long, the owners of Boston, last fall, after Fashion had distanced him on the Camden Course. The challenge was accepted by the friends of Fashion, who is owned by William Gibbons, of Madison, Morris county, N. J., (where she was bred,) on the 30th of November, and $5OOO forfeit deposited in the hands. of J. Prescott Hall, Esq., President of the New York Jockey Club. The whole, purse, $20,000 aside, (New York money,) was put up on Monday afternoon, and all the preliminaries settled. The sum on the part of Fashion was posted by a club V of her backers, consisting of some twenty or thirty gentlemen, among whom are the present proprietors of the course. Notwithstandimr ' the morning was clou dy, and presented every appearance of rain, yet at an early hour the roads from the city to the course, a distance of eight miles, were covered with carriages, bat. ouches, hacks, wagons, cabs, horsemen, and stump . pedestrians, in almost Ail 'tin. broken chain, until the very moment the horses were to start. Upwards of fifty thousand persons were present. This is one of the greatest races that has ever taken place in this country, and ex. cited the greatest interest. It resulted itR Fashion winning the stakes, and giving the victory to the North. The first heat was run by Fashion in the unprecedented and heretofore unrecorded time of 7m. 82 I-2s. This is 4 1-2 seconds better time than the celebrated heat won by Henry against Eclipse, which has always hereto. • tore been cousidered " the time" at the top of the turf. The start was even, but on the third mile the northerner passed the, sonthron, and came in fifty yards ahead.—' After a thirty minutes rest the rivals star ted on the second heat. For tlw thr first miles Fashion lagged behind he competitor nearly a length, but paved bins at the gate of the first quarter of the last mile, and won the heat bllit clear length. 'rime 7111. 335., beating Eclipse four seconds. Arrovt ER Crummos.—Mr. Long says he will run Boston against Fashion toe $20,000, $5,000, tour mile heats, at any time to be agreed upon by the parties, between the 25th of September and the 25th of October next. E 2! WNW TIM Sentence of llolnteo, ONE OF TILE CREW OF TRH SHIP Wll• LIAM BROWN, FOR MANSLAUGHTER.--011 Thursday, in the United . States District Court, Judge. Baldwin gave his opinion against a new trial for Alexander Holmes, convicted of manslaughter in throwing overboard a pall of the passengers of that unfortunate vessel. Tho Judge, after giving his opinion, proceeded fo sentence him as follows: That Alexander Holmes should pay e fine of 820, with the costs of the Prosecu tion, and undergo an imprisenment in the Eastern Penitentiary for six months. Holmes did not appear to object to his sentence, but seemed rather to feel grafi& ed that a limit was at last fixed to the du ration of his confinement "under hatches!" It is stated that the "Seamen's Friend Society" or this city intend making appli cation for his pardon by the President, and that, if not successful, they will pay his fine and the costs. A good - deal of sym pathy has been expressed fur him, and he deserves it. fie was certainly the best and bravest of the ship's crew. A HARD Casz.—The following case oa curred in London, recently: An Ameri. can lad, who stated his name to be Sin clair, was taken before a magistrate, for having, with two other lade, broken a gas lamp, merely for the purpose of being sent to prison—they being in a dreadful state of destitution and disease. Sinclair sta ted that he was the sun of a citizen of the United States, and came over to London as a sailor--but the captain of the vessel in which he had shipped himself, had ex ercised towards him such extreme cruelty, that he was compelled to leave the ship, and had ever since been wanderieg about the metropolis as a pauper—sometime• getting a night's lodging at the workhouse, but we frequently compelled to pick out the softest stone, and take the sky for a quilt. A small fine was inflicted on each of the unfortunate beings, but the magis trate declared, that though in default of payment he should send them to jail, still• it was more for the purpose of an asylum, and for getting them cleansed, than as a sentence for punishment. His worship also promised to communicate with Col, Aspinwall, the U. S. Consul for London. IMPORTANT FROM MEXICO.—A gentle man arrived in this city yesterday, who came passenger in the British mail steam er Teviot, from Vera Cruz, which port hr, left on the 21st ult., states that news ar rived three days previously that the Mes scan Government had set at liberty 0. W Kendall and seven other of the Santa Fr prisoners, who were ascertained to be res. ident Americans. Letters received in town confirm the statement. The prisoners released in Mexico cite were expected to reach Vera Cruz in tw. , or three days after the Teviorleft. Tht, U.
