FOR THE RA1rRMAH.

l. MIR. NiLsoH,-f1a0 the projectors OF thc tariH
meeting held 10 Wilmington on the LIST OF May,
been equally gifted with an insight into iulurity
, with your correspondent .3riet-could they have
foreseen how much his repose would be disturbed
by the resolution passed at that meeting appreciate
ry the conduct OF our Representative, H. IWLdne,
in supporting the tariff bill,-ther philanthropy,
doubt not, would have induced them to decline the
adoption of it. But as they persons who make
no pretensons to supernatural gilts having only the
lights OF reason and common sense to guide them,
and consequently could not anticipate what has
happened, their claims on his charity should have
shielded them against the severity OF his structures.
The meeting consisted principally of agrculturisis,
wool growers and manufacturers, who supposed
they had constitutional right 10 assemble and
make known their wishes on subject of great in
teres 10 them, 10 the Senators from this State at
Washington. But ii seems Ariel was OF different
opinion. He appeared in The Wachman Of the
day previous To the meeting, and denounced the
projectors oil it and their motives. He did not wait
until the meeting had taken place, and its proceed
lngs had been published For being prophet,
he foresaw what they were to be, and made haste to
utter prediction. l.. NJ Lane was to receive a
troya and the election of w. II. Crawford was
to be promoted and (whlt is wonderful indeed pro
moted by the friends OF Cen. Jackson, who compos-
ed TWO thirds or more of the meeting
The interests Of the citizens who attended the
meeting, were deeply involved in The fate OF the
tariff bill hence their socitude for its passage in
the Tom in which it came from the House Of Re
representatives., and which might have been effect
ed by the votes OF Senators. These citizens
were not persons whose opinions merely were 10
favor oil protecting national industry, as were AIel
and lew Others who manifested an hostility TO the
meeting before it was held, and afterwards misre-
presented its proceedings. Our Representative l..
NJ Lane, had given his support 10 the bill Sena-
tors Clayton and Nandyke had shown by their votes
that they were hostile 10 il and public meeting
called at Dover had by passing resolutions disap-
proving OF 1t, countenanctd aud encouraged them
in their opposition. The crisis, therefore,, seemed
TO demand OF the friends TO domestic manufactured
IN Newcastle County that they should do something
to resist The anttatH or antlnaonal spirit that wssi
sptinging up in Kdnt County, where it had not
made It's appearance before, and TO apprize curl
Senators OF the sense entertained OF the course the
"ete pursuing, deemed So uniIendly 10 their in
teiesis. 1t was the more important that this spirit
should be immediately met and opposed, as ii mig hit
have and as IN Tact was intended TO have) bearing
on the election in October nexi Tor a Representative
In Congress. 1t was desirable that the canddateI
taken up as well by the FederalIsts as Democrats
should be favorable TO the encourage ment oil dome
tic manufactures, so that whichever party should
prevail we might be sure OF having Representa-
tive at Washington, who would with a suitable zeal
sustain this great interest. Heretofore it has been
by all Senators aud Representatives
IN Congress, with the exception OF Clayton and
ID. Rodney. 1t is true that N Vandyke had no CD.
poitunlty OF being tested until the late Session. and
he has disappointed the public expectation. w. Ii /
Wells, . liorsey, and &. A Rodney, Of the Senate,
and l. Ml.ape and w, Hall of the House of Re
personalities were all lasoroabe 10 encouraging the
industry of the country. As for I
clayton he was heard 10 say before his appointment
to seat in the Senate of the United States that no
further protection ought 10 be extended TO domestic
too much having, in his opinion been
already afforded them
Whether L. Ml.ane would consent 10 serve an /
other term in Congress, could he be elected, know
not lie may wish 10 retire because it is believed
to be against his interest to hold seat in Congress
But II he is willing to be nominated a. candidate !
ought not Ariel il really disposed foster national
industy,as he processes, 10 prefer his being elected
much as he dislikes him, 10 federalisl who is a
disciple in the school Of Adam Smith Would he
choose rather to crafty his spleen towards man
Mhom ne hat's, but arho as highly respected at
washington, and by great part oil his cons ituents
Than sacrifice 1t on the altar Of public good All,
democrat he does not wish to be elected for he is
said to be ede ast. But persdvehture, lie might
maugre his federal pepossessions, vote Tor demo.
cratic candidate in opposition to lederalist of anti
halona principles, as no man can receive the sup.
port oil the democratic party, who is not known loI
be decided friend 10 giving employment 10 The
people OF the United States in preference 10 those
OF foreign counties.
The tariff bill is Quilted, as Ariel has said But
It was not L. M'l4ane who embowelled ii Senators
Clayton aud Vandyke were the butchers who per.
formed that operation. 1t was they who by voting
with The Southern and Eastern members, put il in
the worst shape they could get il, and then attempt
ed to slange it. The voice OF Newcastle County N
where manufacturing establishments are NUMEROUS. Ii
and their suspicious bearing on agriculture is felt
and understood, twice heard and dsreearded bv
them. The opinions and wishes oil The citizens in
the most hourishng part Of The Stale, in relation
