AMERICAN PAPERS.

We received last night, per William Byrnes, from the
North and South American Coffee-house, New York Pa-
pers to the 2bth January. They contain two Reports,
one by the majority of the Committee of Manufactures,
recommending the preserving the tariff unaltered ; and an-
other by the minority, recommending important altera-
tions. The latter Report says—" If the prudent Councils
of the Cbief who has saved his country in war, and is
honestly seeking to promote her institutions in peace, are
to be unheeded or derided ; and if there are men who are
determined not to correct any of the admitted errors of the
tariff, to tax unnecessarily high the necessaries and com-
forts of life, and make it a party question—with them
rests the responsibility, and on their heads be the come-
quences."
It appears from the following accounts of the proceed-
ings of the Legislature of North Carolina, that that State
does not make common cause with South Carolina in re-
gard to a separation, should the tariff be persisted in ;
" NORTH CAROLINA.—It is with feelings of high gra-
tification (says the Raleigh Register) we refer our readers
to the proceedings of the House of Commons on Friday last.
It will be seen that the doctrine of nullification was con-
otitution illy nullified by an overwhelming majority*. The
debate was a most animated one, and continued for several
hours. The only argument advanced against the adoption
of Mr. Worth's resolution was, that it was highly inde-
corous and improper for North Carolina to reflect upon her
namesake of the South. When it is borne in mind that
the citizens of this State naturally entertain a feeling of
warm attachment to the people of South Carolina, and the
most exalted respect for the distinguished men to whom
she has given birth, the vote on this subject shows most
conclusively that the cord of private friendship is hut an at-
tenuated thread, compared with the lion gripe which hinds
North Carolina no longer to the Union. Let South Caro-
lina no longer look to us for countenance in her unconsti-
tutional measures—' let her not lay the flattering unction
to her soul'—we were the last to come into the federal
compact, but we shall be the last to go out of it."
" Mr. Henry, of Fayetteville, in the course of his elo-
quent remarks, said—' Mr. Chairman, nullification is
treason, and they who advocate it are traitors to our
dearest rights. I say this, Sir, on my individual respon-
sibility; let gentlemen make the most of it. They who
endeavour to foster a spirit of disunion, with a view to ef-
fect the overthrow of our beautiful fabric of Government,
deserve to expiate their crimes upon the gallows.

To the vile dust from whence they sprung.
Unwept, unhonour'd, and unsung.'

" * Resolved,—By the General As•embly.of North Ca-
rolina, that although the tariff laws, as they now exist, in
the opinion of this Legislature, are unwise, unequal i❑
their operation, and oppressive to the Southern States, yet
this Legislature does not recognise as constitutional the
right of an individual State of this union to nullify a law
of the United States.

" Resolved,—That in tlke Sentiment, the Union must
be preserved,' we recognize principles which challenge the
approbation of every republican, and which promise to
save the republic from disunion and anarchy.
" The first resolution was adopted by the following
vote, ayes 87, nays 27. The second resolution was read
and adopted unanimously—yeas 112."

the throne. The Constitution is our pride and our hope ;
in it we see the guarantee of our rights, the pledge of betthr
fortune. But we should be obliged to tee in the Consti-
tution only eshpty words, a brilliant and painful illusion,
if men are excluded from the representation of the people,
who, being honoured with the general confidence, possess
courage and knowledge to bring truth before the throne,
who have been freely chosen, and *hose eleetion is the
genuine eipiession of the voice of the people, which your
royal heart eltpecially requires to know.
" Sire, at the same time that the flame of revolution
blazed in the west—when the fire shone threatening in the
eyes of many German Princes, you remained tranquil and
free from care, like a father in the bosom of his family, in
the midst of your pe'ople, in a place devoted to health and
pleasUre. ,your
then watched over your Majesty's repose?
Bayonets ? Censors of the public press? Certainly not: it
was the love of the Bavarian nation. When the events in
France gave the signal for dissection in Germany—when
troubles broke out in neighbouring countries around us,
‘s here did the most exemplary tranquillity prevail ? In
Bavaria. What was the cause of this tranquillity ? Is
perhaps the ideal of happiness to be found in Bavaria ?
Is there nothing to be desired? Are there no improve-
ments advisable P. Are not the regulations respecting the
tariff of customs, which have given cause to disturbances
in other places, more oppressive in Bavaria than any other
country ? Yet all remained tranquil, and this tranquillity
was the fruit of confidence in the resolution so decisively
pronounced by your Majesty to govern according to the
Constitution, and to listen to every reasonable desire of
the nation. This exemplary conduct of the Bavarian
people, in those times of convulsion, is now to be re-
warded with distrust Truly, he who could advise your
Majesty to such measures was not guided by love to his
King and country ; he has discovered the only means
of shaking to the very foundations the sincere
loyalty of the people, their implicit confidence in their
King. If your Ministers, from a presentiment of what
must inevitably ensue, hurried from one improvident mea-
sure to another, had not by an unconstitutional interpre-
tation of the third Constitutional edict limited the free-
dom of the Press, that the cry of indignation might not
find its way to the Throne, we would have waited pa-
tiently till the public voice had brought the'truth to light;
but when the people are deprived of their best representa-
tives, when the ablest men, who mean honestly by the
K'ng and country, are excluded from the Assembly of
the States; when the free expression of thoughts in words
and writing, that true palladium of liberty, the funda-
mental condition of popular representation and constitu-
tional Government, is rendered impossible, we have only
one hope left us, only one way—that to the generous
heart of your Majesty—which no Bavarian need fear to
invoke in vain for the good of your people. Reject not, Sire,
the urgent intreaties of your faithfully devoted subjects for
the revocation of a measure which threatens to destroy the
confidence between the Prince and people, which is the
firmest pledge of the tranquillity of the country, and the
stability of the throne. We most earnestly implore your
Majesty to grant us this, and conjure you by your own
noble heart, by the holy zeal for the happiness of your
people which glows in your bosom, by the spirits of your
ancestors, we conjure you by your paternal love for your
family, who grow up before our eyes in so promising a
manner, and to whom we ardently wish an unclouded life,
and the happiness of reigning over a contented people. Do
not believe, Sire, that these words are those of the under-
signed alone, they come from the hearts of millions. May they
have the strength which our good will has, and may your
Majesty see in them nothing more than the expression of
the present loyalty and the most profound veneration with
which we remain your Majesty's most faithfully devoted
and obedient subjects." _ _

DRESDEN, FFa. s.—Though there is no notion that
our troops will be recalled into active service, 10,000 men,
instead of 6,000, are, however, to be under arms. The
landwehr is called together in the kingdom of Bohemia.

A series of letters on Church Property, with
the signature of " Expositor," has been lately pub-
lished. They contain some good reasoning on the
power of Parliament, which many dispute, to inter-
fere with property of this description. We agree
with " Expositor" that the sanction of Parlia-
ment to the spoliations of HENRY VIII., as well as
to the abolition of the Episcopal Church in Scot-
land, are sufficient precedents for Parliamentary
interposition again, whenever occasion shall require.
That there is a necessity for such an interposition, in
reference to tithes, we are every day more and
more convinced. The landed interest will, before
long, cry out so loudly for a commutation of
this burthen, that it will be impossible to re-
sist them. The farmers are already, to a man,
against the tithe system, and the only thing
that prevents the landlords from uniting with
them is the lay-impropriatiens, and the connections
of the gentry with the Church. But when they
begin to perceive their interests more clearly, the
land-owners will see that the substitution of a land-
tax for the tithe, would be a very important benefit
to their property. The Government should take up
this matter, as soon as there is any probability of
overcoming the mass of prejudice and ignorance
which would be opposed to them in this, as well as
almost every measure which they may bring forward
with a view to the general benefit.
