The National lnteliigen er need be
under no apprehensions of a Domestic
Tariff on Norihern Manufactures. by
the State of Virginia. That project was
deliberately entertained by one Of our
statesmen, who came to the last Legis-
iature,& resolved TO propose it Estates
nan from whose age, experience and
reputation, we should least have expect
ed so wild and ridiculous a scbeme.-
But the nail Woutd not drivo. All ex.
cept bin, saw that it led to an immedi
ate and necessary division of the Union,
and ne was forced to put his project in
his pocket. The people of Virginia can
be I'D and are led, a great ways, by
men who have got possession of their
confidence, but had that sche me been
proposed in the legislature, the enchant.
ment would have been dissolved at
once. They would have blown its pro
%jector, his alders and abet'ors, sky high.
They are not quite ready for separation,
to which that hopeful scheme directly
led. To dislike an Administration is
n thing--to dissolve the union of
these States, and begin the cutting of
threats, is another and very different.
The project was privately c~anvassed BY
the initiated, and finally substituted by
those resolutions which are called a
counterpart of those OF '9s; though
Heaven knows, they are no more alike
than the Declaration of Independence
and the fable of the wolf in sleeps
clothing Whig.
The Georgia Courier, a paper of ia
lent, published at Augusta, has recent
ly, in mild. but decided and iudicious
language, declared its preference of the
present Presidential incumbent, to Gen.
jackson; thereby furnishing proof. that
even in Georgia, there is a sprinkling
of friends of the Administration. In
reading the papers from that state, Ten.
n%essee, Alabama, &c. we are struck
with the evident conflict in several of
them, between the conscience and the
interests of the Editors. What course
would the Alabama Advocate, the Ma.
con Telegraph, the Nashville Wing,
ard the Knoxville Register pursue. was
their conscience the guide? In n or
two OF those mentioned, the Editors
profess great zeal for Gen jackson,
while the tenor and spirit of their re
Elections, and the entire testimony oi
their journals, declare the conviction
that Gen. jackson is not qualified for
the Presidency. Honor is due to the
Georgia Courier for its independence

time, before a time serving. selfish 20.
