AMERICAN PAPERS.

WASHINGTON, Jules 27.

There is no one who witnessed the discussion upon the
Tariff Bill of last Session, who candidly believes that
Bill would have passed either House of Congress, had
not the Presidential Election been pending before the
people. Nor have we heard any candid person, at all
acquainted ssith the views of Mr. Adams, express a
belief that he would have signed the Bill, if a desire to
court popularity had not controuled his own opinions
of public policy, and public interest. The fact is well
known, that Mr. Adams did deliberate; and many who
had more confidence in his diplomacy than his integrity,
did apprehend that he would make a demonstration
upon Virginia and the S• uth, by returning the Bill with
his objections. It is believed that Mr. Clay's influence
alone preponderated, and prevented him from doing so.
It is easy to be seen that Mr. Clay's interests are di-
rectly in conflict with those of Mr. Adams, and that
whilst the rejection r f the Bill was u►e only movement
which the latter had upon the political chess-board,
such a move, whatever might have been its effects as to
Mr. Adams, would have been political death to Mr. Clay,
A word in ezplanwion. Had the policy and interest
of Mr. Adams succeeded, he would have ;ejected the
Bill—his partisans in the North would have united with
Virginia and the Sot.t)i, in opposition to it. A conven-
tion of Northern and Southern States would have been
invoked, and Mr. Adams would have been supported as
the advocate of Southern and Eastern interests. The
votes of General Jackson, Mijor Eaton, and others of
his prominent friends, would have been seized upon as
an evidence of General Jackson's support of the Tariff,
and we should then have beard the partisans of Mr.
Adams argue that he never was a Tariff man.

NROM THE NEW TORE COMMERCIAL ADVERTISRIL
TREASON AT THE SOUTH.—We have already no-
ticed, but with summary brevity, the proceedings of
the students of the South Carolina University, led on
by a factious President. But we have now something
more serious still. The Charleston Alercury, a leading
Jackson paper, contains •• An address of sundry citi-
zens of Colleton District, to the people of the State of
South Carolina," on the course which, in the opinion of
those by whom the address was adopted, ought to be
pursued at the present time, by the people of that State,
which demands attention. In his introduct on to the
address, the Editor uses the following language:
" The Address to the people is fervid, eloquent, and
impressive, and embodies at once the political creed,
the popular feeling, anktprobiitily the determined po-
licy of South Carolina. The ground it occupies is high
and unequivocal : the language it utters, fir in, fearless
and independent. The people of Colleton disdain any
thing like a mere evasion of the law. They would not
form associations to counteract it, nor agreemer is not
to use northern manufactures, nor would they resort to
any mode whatever, which, whilst it would go to cir-
cumvent the law, would be tantamount to an acknow-
ledgment of the right of Congress to enact it, and thus
tend to fix the oppression irrecoterably upon the coun•
try. They disdain all this, as debasing to their feel.
ings, and as a viitiial relinquishment of their rights;
but denying it.; constitutionality, and being determined
not to submit to their exactions, they recommend dis-
tinctly such Open Resistance as becomes' a Sovereign
and Independent Stare"

The following are 'extracts horn the Treasonable Ad-
dress itself:

What course is left for us to pursue? If we have
the common pride of men, or the determination of tree-
men, we must resist the imposition of this Tariff. We
stand committed. To be stationary is impossible. We
must either retrograde is dishonour and in shame, and
receive the contempt and scorn f our brethren, trper-
added to our wrongs, and their system of oppression
strengthened by our toleration; or we must, •by op-
posing, end them.'"
" In advising an attitude of open resist tnce to the
Laws of the Union, we deem it due to the occasion, and
that we may not be misunderstood, distinctly but briefly
to state without argument our Constitutional faith ; for
it is not enough that imposts laid for the pt.( tectiou of
domestic manufactures are oppressive, and transfer, in
their operation, millions of our property to northern
capitalists. It we have given our bond, let them take
our blood. Those who resist these imposts must deem
them unconstitutional, and the principle is abandoned
by the payment of one cent, as much as ten millions."
•a Not, then, from a desire of disunion, or to destroy
the Constitution; but it is that we may preserve the
Union, and bring back the Constitution to its original
uncorrupted principles, that we now advise you to re-
sist its violation. From the rapid step of usurpation,
whether we now act or not, the day of open opposition
to the pretended powers of the Constitution cannot be
far off; and it is that it may not go down in blood that
we now call upon you to resist. We feel ourselves
standing underneath its mighty protection, and declar-
ing forth its free and recorded spirit, when we say we
must resist. By all the great principles of Libtrty—
by the glorious achievements of our fathers in de-
fending them—by the noble blood poured forth like
water in maintaining them—by their lives in suffer-
ing, and their deaths in honour and glory—our
countrymen ! we must resist. Not secretly, as
timid thieves or skulking smugglers—not in com-
panies or associations, like mon. pchafferers or stock-
jobbers—not separately and individually, as if this was
ours and not our coutirr)'s cause—but openly, fairly,
fearlessly, and unitedly, as becomes a free, sovereign,
and independent people. Does timidity ask I when?'
We answer now ! even now, while yet oppression is not
' old to us, and the free spirit looks abroad in pride over
this land of glorious freedom, and of beautiful, though
depressed and broken fertility. Let not time eat away
your rights, and prescription plead your sanction
your ruin. As in those dark times that 4 tiled men's
souls,' let us assemble in solemn convention or in legis.
lature ; and in firmness but humility of spirit, rely upon
that PitOVIDENCE who has Lathan protected us, to
guide and direct our anxious councils.

" But if you are doubtful of yourselves—if you are
not prepared to follow up your principles wherever they
snay lead, to the very last consequence—if you love life
better than honour—prefer ease to perilous liberty and
glory ; awake not I. stir not I Impotent resistance will
add vengeance to your ruin. Live in smiling peace with
your insatiable oppressors, and die with the noble con-
solatiun, that your submissive patience will 'waive
triumphant your beggary and despair."

The further consideration of this case, in which the Marquis of

that the appeal case pending in the High Court of Delegates, be-
tween the Marquis and Marchioness of Westmeath, will bedecided.
411DANIANI AND OTHERS V. TRW&
This was an appeal from the Court 01 Session, Scotland, under
circumstances arising out of the peculiar nature of the laws in that
ry count affecting persons of diseased intellects. Mr. Price
a, one of
the parties, conceiving himself of weak mind, appointed n agent
or trustee. without whose sanction no act of his own was to be
binding. After doing so so it years the agent declined the trust,
and an order issued to the Sheriff Depute of the shire in which
Mr. Price resided. to ascertain whether Mr. Price was sane or not.
The return to this writ was, that he was of weak capacity, and
'under this return be was placed under restraint.
Lord F.LOOO, who moved their Lordships to affirm this decision,
remarked, that in this country it would be necessary to have the
finding of a Jury that the man was of insane mind, previous to any
restraint being imposed'opon him. The House of Lords had di-
rected a case to the Lords of Session in Scotland, requiring their
opinion as to the legality of the steps taken, and the result was, that
they were established by custom so long, that he (Lord Eldon)
would not advise their Lordships to disturb it; but the practice
was one which the House could not sanctioo except from necessity.
The judgment was affirmed, and the appeal dismissed without costs,
Wow.' V. ![ALL.
The LORD Cooney-Los, in moving their Lordships in this
appeal. remarked it was a most unfortunate cause. I; was an ap-
peal from the Irish Court of Chancery, and the decree appealed
aainst was
the obtainedarose
right possessed by the father of ' Neale to sells
property which had been fixed on him for life, and his issue tail-
male ; the property was in Argyleshire, and the question must be
considered as affected by the laws of Scotland. The House of
Lords, in 1817, bad directed an order to the Master in Ire-
land, after full evidence of the facts had been gone into before
their Lordships to ascertain the law of Scotland, on which, if is
favour of the appellant, the case was understood to be decided fee
him. The law was so found, but the Irish Lord Chancellor (Mass
ners) pronounced his decree the other way—thus setting at nought
the decision of this House, and that without his having heard any
additional evidence. He (the Lord Chancellor) therefore now
moved their Lordships, that the order of the Court below be re-
versed, and the exceptions to Master's report disallowed. •
The motion was carried nem. con.
The Bari of SHAFTESBURY presented a Petition from the
inhabitants of Lutterwortb, praying for the abolition of Negro

Slattery.
The Sugar Bill was read a second time.
The F.:chequer BHI and Butter Trade (Ireland) Bill were
read a third time and pawed, when the House adjourned.

STOCK EXCHANGE, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
The Consol market appears very heavy this morning, as Consols
opened at 261 5, and have since been done at 865.
In the Foreign market scarcely any business is done as yet.
CITY, HALF-PAST ONE O'CLOCK.
The Canso! Market has been looking very heavy the whole of
the morning till within a short period, when a slight improvement
took place. Consols have been luctuating between 865 and 865
for the Account, with less business doing than for these four days
put. Consols at present may be quoted 865 I. The state of the
weather is attributed as the cause for the dullness of all business.
The private letters from Lisbon are very gloomy, and state that
the future situation of Portugal entirely depends on the conduct
which will be pursued by foreign Powers. It is supposed that Don
russo will demand his Treaties with them to be put into execu-
tion. They also state that the sincerity of Spain is much doubted,
as a large Spanish force is assembling on the frontiers. Up to the
present time we have no further accounts from the East, or any
Express from Paris.

The Lisbon Gazettes contain t ie accounts published
wider the sanction of Dan MlGuat„ of the movements
of the Royal troops, and their successes against the
Constitutionalists. Five or six hundred of the latter
had surrendered themselves, having abandoned twelve
pieces of artillery ; several deserters had returned. and
others had been taken prisoners and sent to Oporto.—
All hopes of maintaining this unfortunate cause seem
to have vanished for the present, and the new Sore-
reign, considering himself firmly seated on the throne,
liar mArked the epoch of his accession by an Act
of Grace, pardoning all persons in the prisons of Lisbon
and Oporto. The demand of our, countryman, Sir lam
Dolma, by the British Consul, has hitherto been at-
tended with no success ; indeed, his efforts seem to be
laughed at by the Government that committed this
unjust and tyrannical act.

The intelligence from Constantinople, extracted from
the French Papers, appears somewhat contradictory
to that of yesterday. It is now affirmed that a
levy en masse of the population has been ordered,
and that the SULTAN will immediately take the
field, and hoist the Standard of the Prophet.—
But notwithstanding all this, the difficulties of main-
taining the fortifications on the coast are so great, the
pecuniary means of the Potent so straitened, and his
sinews of war consequently so relaxed, that it would
pot be surprising if the SULTAN shculd in the end pm
fleetly concede the point in the Greek question, and
place itself under the protection of the Treaty of Lou-
don. The article from Vienna mentions that our Go-
vernment intends to require of the Emperor of RUSSIA
an explanation of the guarantees and indemnities he
requires of the Poem The word " guarantee" is
somewhat an unlucky one in the history of our domestic
kits ; but we apprehend that the Declaration o 1
ar published by the Emperor NICHOLAS is sufficiently
