they were td opent up the subject again in

-The 'consequence should inflict an irrepain
ble injury upon the business pursuits of the
country—an, injury which, they could not
properly estimate; 'And ihey might •be as
sured that thase who suffered much would
' feel deeply and act accordingly. The - new
doctrines which wepe, introduced and made
a part of this measure *ere calculated to
agitate the nliole cOnntry. It was a subject
which had. more than once brought them
into conflict,: and, be might almost say, to
the very verge of resistance to the laws. It
might perhaps be thought by Some of his
friends that, inasmitch as he-was one of the
Democratic party, it would have been suffi
cient for him ' to have given a silent vote ; for
he supposed it was: regarded by many_ as a
party question: but he could not so regard
it. He would have been content., however,
to allow the rote tolie taken upon the bill,
without troubling the Senate with any re
marks, were it not! for the extraordinary
principles which it !contained ; were it not '
that it was, in his jadgment, a very extreme
measure; were it hot that the bill aimed a
fatal blow at the best interests of those whom
he had the honor to *present ; and, be might
add further, were it; of that this bill, viewed
in reference to the principles which it invol
ved, seemed calculated, and was perhaps in
tended, not only to :take away their rights,
but to rob them of their principles ids& In
view of the* conspire:nos, .he had felt it
his duty to spy somethhigin vindication of
the principles of Ndlthern Democracy. If
the Democracy of the North had no other
champion, they slOtild at least have one,
humble as be wajs, so long as he had
the honor of 6 seatOpon that floor : It was
this consideration 4ich had led him to un
dertake the ;very inipleasint service of pre
senting what : he lailieved to be their views
upon this subject, and to examine this bill
upon, the test of thpie principles, and see
whether it would stand the test. Previous,
however, to examii4ng the bill in its details
be would adiert to ;one or two other consid
erotic's. It seemed to have been supposed
by some that' those -rho were opposed to the
tariff of 1842 must tote for the bill, whether
they approved ofit ~ , , ,as an alternative of
evils. In order to t rid of what was re
garded as a very . • law, they were expect
ed to vote for anotho very bad law. • This
was not a p;incipl that he had ever acted
. upon, and if e weriv act-upon it at all, he
would at least look ittbe comparative merits
of the two laws before deciding one way or
another. Ile certainly regarded the act. of
1842 as sole' FObjectic i nable, but there
were provisions in +at act which lied never,
as far as he, knewf been objected to or as
sailed, so far as the.: North was concerned,
' on the part of the lemocracy. It bad been

H, e was Inelitied that2sueliivas.the
case. These were the - gentlemen.,Whci
&aged tiiidetailsof the bill. . The princi
tile„he supposed, was supplied froni ahigher

bill." It, ieertainly never enteredinto their
Minds thiil• it was to, be prepared at the
Tieasury Depurtment by custom-house offi
cers.; • Wh at was the;principle ,upon which
this bill ieilouilded .. It was founded upon
mere thepty l A theory formed, like the an
cientriiplems of phitosOphy, upon, certain
proposittenslit an ...abittaty or speetiltitive
chittnter,;;:ty which levery thing Inuit be
made to conform. One of these new the) ;
retical doctrines was that the loweit rate of
duty should be imposed which shmild yield
the greatest amount 1 revenue. He would
admit thit if and equal amount of revenue
could be obtained from low duties, they
wouldlbe.preferably. But how would this
- act 4 relation to incidential protection,
whichlwas a matter essential to the interests
of the whole country. They all knew that
the incidental influences of legislation were
often more important than its direct objects.
With regard to the ad valorem principle, he
would like to know why that principle was
so tenaciously adhered to and insisted on.
Could there be any other reason given than
that it was a part of the theory or atiitrac
tion that somebody had become attached to?
Did they' not hearobjections made to it from
all quarters? Had there been any good
reason given for the adoptien of this princi
• pie? - None whatever. Common sense told
every:Mail -that what they Wanted was a sys
tem that 'shoulli be uniform, certain, and
safe in its operation ; and this could never
be the case with the ad valorem principle.
It was nothing more nor less than a sliding
scale, not like the 'sliding scale adopted in
England in reference to the corn laws, where,
.as prices rose, the duties became less ; but
a sliding scale in which when prices rose the
duties.would rise also.
Mr. N. entered then at length into an ex
*Urination
. of the details of the bill, commen
ting upon its operation in regard to the vari
ous article of American production, and
showing the injurious effects which would
be produced by it in relation to all the great
interests of the country. The bill was hos
tile to the interests of the North, and, hostile
he believed to the principles of Northern
Democracy. Be could view it in no other
light, and he was deterniined that neither
other should he surrondeved
the one nor the
by his vote. He had always been inclined
to go as fir as 4 man could go for his party,.
with a safe couseience ; but here be was
brought to a stand. He thought it was time
for the ; Democracy of the North to take care
of themselves. They had suffered their good
friendskif the South to take care of them so
long diat they had almost forgotten the first
maxim's in' human affairs, self-preservation.
It has been said that every tub should stand
on its own bottom; and he thought if North
ern tubs were'to stand on Southern bottoms
they.would not stand very steadily.' They
had beard about Northern men with South
ern principles. There was not much en
couragement, hi appeared to him, for a
Northern Man•to ndopt Southern principles.
"Irdid somehow happen that when the De
mocratic party were in power, the Southern
Democrats had the control; They had al
ways managed affairs, and managed tolera
bly well, bin things seemed to have changed
very much. And he thought that Northern
Democrats were now called upon to look to
their own interests: Southern Democrats
had 'always had the control of the central
paper of the party, ivhether it was the organ
or not, and it was very well known that
public opinion was to a great extent manu
factured by it, and he believed the paper
now was'laboring very bard to manufacture
public opinion, with what success he-did not
know. There was, at all events, some ad
vantage in having the , control of the paper.
He was not disposed, however,, to complain
of this state of things; but this bill compel
led
to
to Make a stand. It was asking too
mu to him to support a bill which on
its very face,.demanded a surrender of the
interests (4%4 constituents, and the political
principled Of lifs party. To expect him to
do this - fur ,the **col' the honor and glory
suppp tb
..e,great measure of the age,
which w#s going to make:the ,people of this
country tributary to Great Britain, was ex,
pectin a little too much. He thought such
a bill ought never to pass, and he would be
still more, verse_ to itepassage than be was
ifhisuPpor!ed that it faultily any possibili
ty be. Oflo4 duration. This one reflection
rearticitedhini in some degree toihe odious
measure which wart thus thrust upon them,
that if 'pa 'tied- it could not stand. 'There

very fresh arrival from the beat of war
serves to sharpen curiosity, and i keep alive
ttut, interest we all feel, as to future events
in our collision with Mexico, which is now
beginning to assume a phase oflactivity, af-
ter a rather Tong interval of repose, on the
part of the belligerents. i , .
The following highly interesting informa
tion, although given in a. rather . desultory
form, we derive from a gentleman who has
i
ju t arrived here from, Camargo j :which he '
vi "ted on the steamboat Big Hatchee, and
w o le ft that town on the 14th. instant:
T Big Hatchee reached Caniargo on the
ev ning of the 13th, having on hoard troops
an provisions—a, company of the Infantry.
T o companies of the same regiment had
viously arrivedon the steambOats Browns
vil e, Enterprise, and J. E. Roberts. The
ri r was falling rapidly, and the Ranekeros
ming their, ?usual occupatitins. Col.
B y's Rangers were not there at, that date.
T ey, however, bad been in, after making
aliconnoissance of the country as far as
Monterey. 'Our informant itates,that it was
reported .by the Rangers that they, had mn
otrated to the precipitous Cliffs that overhang
Monterey, when,a trooper, a very adventur
tns soldier t named Cummins, reached a point
/
ov rhanging, the Bishops palace, which
. manded a view of the whole City. The
•it ost activity seemed toiprevad among the
M xicans, who were busily emPloyed in re
po ring the old forti fi cations and erecting
tie ones. The number ,okrocips waa not
stained, but from the movements observ

, it was evident they were *paling ev

Ments, (Colonels Walton's, Boris', Da

1 er Captain Desha, at ,Bucna Vista, on
borders of a lake, seventeen 'miles north
iof Matamoros.. The health of the vol
eers here, with General Taylor, had
ch improved, owing to, the fine air they

occupied. I .
The roads were perfectly impassable for
