of whatever party he may have been, still he
was from New-York, and was one OF ner most

like cour,inp its rayor-and we doubt not, such
would have been the charge. But Mr.. Gallatin

that name, should be an eternai oar TO mans

peace with the democratic party, ny the APP
pontmen, Of one of its original leaders. Such
is the inconsistency OF some men, that nothing
can please them Whatever the administration
does. is to be condemned as tcrong at all erentS;
and these opposers, appear Wiling 10 turn trail
tors to their own political and party friends,
merely because these friends have been honored
by the executive. In their opinion, favorable
look from the President is evidence Of a cor

The following article from the New York A.
merican Of Friday evening, satisfactorily re-
flutes misrepresentation set on foot in the in
terror of New York for political purposes
Tonnage Duty ON Canal Boafs.-ln referring
to this subject a few evenings since, we express
sed our desire for more accurate information,
before an array was made of state feelings and
state pride against the general government; and
intimaled doubts whether the alleged attempt
TO enforce a collection Of a tonnage duty on ca
nal boats had been authorised by any recent
regulations of that government. II gives Us
great pleasure 10 be enabled now to state, that
these doubts were well founded, and that not
only have no such instructions been given, but
thar the collector at Buffalo has been ordered to
suspend the exaclion Of the duties, if it had
been attempted. For the copy Of the official
paper which follows, establishing these Facts,
we are indebted TO the Hon Josh. Sands,
member of the House of Representatives from
Kings county, who arrived this morning from
| Washington, and who received it al the Urea
surv department, on the eve of his departure,
with permission to make such use of it as he
might think proper.
We forbear for the present any comments
upon the alacrity manifested in certain quarters
to seize upon the loose, and as 1t turns out,
wholly unfounded, rumor, which is here refuted,
as an engine to be welded against the general
administration-though we may hereafter have
occasion to refer to, and account for, this feel
ing.
