Caleb Atwater proposes to pubsh.some "Nols
on Ohio" relative to the early civil and natural his
tory Of that State--He has, for some time, been COL
lectng information ON these subjects, and now DE-
signs, at his leisure, to publish series Of essays ID
the Ohio Journal, printed atsCounlbus.
Mr. CAUSE.-THE reader will remember thai
Mr.. Giles, of Virginia. the father of those rcse
lutions which were passed in the Legislature Of that
State, denying that Congress had the power to pro.
tect domestic industry The Richmond Whig, d
late date, makes the following remarks in relats
TO this subject.
| Mr. Giles has set stone rolling by his absra
and metaphysical legislation, which it will requrs
more than abstraction and metaphysics to stop. The
recoil of his resolutions was foreseen and foreton
| The thunders ofthe Richmond Vatican are no LONG

tionaliy of tariff, the second act passed under ls
Constitution of 49, and never before denied by The
most wire drawn and hair splitting expounders ohs
Constitution, has alarmed not only the entire uauu
featuring interest, but all who have the integrity d
the Union at heart. Protection TO the rights Of the
States is not much seen in it, hostility to the
rights Of the General OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES equally
essential as those Of the States to the preseryaio
Il of the Constitutional balance.-Men cannot but ak
i themselves why none of these complaints Of the
power and oppression of the General Government
were heard under Jefferson and Madison? WerelaI
the measures Of roads and the tariff then pros
etuted? Did not Mr.. Giles Ct i'd omne genus, leld|
them their sanction Was no, the Constitution then
what it is now? All these questions must be answer
ed atiirmatively. What then is the reason Of lhs|

southern man is President. Mr.. Giles is the sic
IF the Harrisburg Contention. Fl
The Opposition stories relative to the administr
ton having become " stale, Fat, and improbable,
il is thought advisable to give US another, signed
by General Jackson. The letter Of the GeneEa
and some remarks on it by the New York American
! and Wheeling Gazette will be found in this days
Journal, to which the attention of the reader is ~
, hcited. In addition, We make few remarks.
In the first place, the man who waited on the Gem
{ cra is described by him, as ga member of Congress
! of high respectabity "-that he came as friend
that he was ga gentleman of high standing-and
that tile General listened to him. from his uniform
frie ndly and gentlemanly conduct towards him.
il Sccondiy--Wh hat does this gentleman say TO lhs
General Just look at the story az told by the Hero
Thirdly-What comment did this g member Of
congress of high Tespectability man Of "blgh
standing as gentleman'-so " uniformly Friendly
e and gentenanIy towards the General what cou'
ment did he make upon the stories he h ad told
Why-hc was of the opinion it was right to fight saca
ntriguers with their own weapons" In plain Eng
lsh, it would be right to make bargain with Mr.
Clays friends to exclude Mt. Adams from the Office
of Secretary of State provided those friends would
elect the General.
Fourttly-It is worthy of notice that nothing
asked for Mr.. .Clay-but merely that Mr.. Adams
should not be Secretary of State. -
Etlhi,--The General informs us how much better
man he was than this "member of Congress Of
high responsibility gentlemanof" high stand.
ing''-this man who was so uniformly friendly and
gentlcmanly towards himself
And tinally-The General says---"t may be pro
per to observe that Iii the sppositon that Mr.. Clay
was privy to The proposition stated, may have donf
injustice to HIM"
The truth Of this story has been denied, on tht
authority ofMr. Clay, as far as relates to himsel.
and far as his knowledge authorised him to spea'
in behalf OF his friends This was done some weei1
r ago. But that did not suit the General. He wan
t ted a denial by Mr.. Clay, 6 over his own sisua
ture = and in the very same letter confessed tina
it may be proper to observe that in the snpposso'
that Mr.. Clay was privy to the proposition stated
! may have done him injustice /"
i Now, why did not the General make short wofE
: Of this business? When he wanted to half shaw
