Party spirit has never been the spirit Of the
Examiner. We would resist 10 the utmost the
Duke Of Wellington's military occupation OF
The Premiership; bu, now that he is our ruler,
we would discharge the duties of good citizens,
and do all that lies in our power to put him in
the way ofqualifying himself for this Office.
He must go to school: that is fixed and SET
tied 1t were most to be wished that there
were school Of ano tents where he might A, B,
ab it, with contemporary scholars and be fired
with the spirit OF emulation-with the noble
desire Of rivalling or excelIing other sexsgena-
rians in the race through the horn book. but at
present there is unfortunately no establishment
Of the kind in existence, and "while the grass
grows the seed starves!" His Grace's case
calls for instant help Schools there are in a
5undance, both day and weekly, private and
parish, where very young children are taught
the rudimen,s; which would fit colleges for the
Duke, and which would furnish all the requi-
site, or TO speak more strictly, all the possible
instruction. The Inconvenience uf them are
however these: first, that The babies would be
apt to make game Of the Prime Minister; Sc.
condly, that there are no elementary books
written expressly for the use Of such elderly and
ateG scholars.
In order TO prevent the first annoyance,
the Duke must be accompanied TO schoOl BY
an escort ofthe Guards, Who wiH be dra,Dn
up IN the scAooI-roona, and ,ohO UiH fire up
ON the children in the event Of their making
fun Of his Grace, or 1'eRpering him Nth
paper pellets.
The Dukes studies will thus be free from in~
terruplion; nd he on his part will not object to
be whipped SO often as whipping is necessa
ry, which will be pretty frequently As Com
mander in Chief, j, is quite impossible that he
can disapprove Of Jogging.
The Duke of course will attend day school
in the morning, and thus he will distribute
his time between the horn book and the di:ec-
,ion of this great nations affairs, coming his
task one half the day, and guiding our councils
the other. AS the Edinburgh Revre,O says

Mr.. PETER FoRcE,
SIR. An article appeared in your paper Of
this morning, purportng to be a report
of a remark made by me, in converse
ton in presence Of four members OF Congress.
1t is due to myself to say that the meaning OF
nv expression is wholly perverted. The truth
is, as near as can state il, four gentlemen
were presents | only recollect the name OF one
of ,hem-( Two Of them since have told me they
were prescnt)-they were quizzing me about
the supposed political changes in Pennsylva'
MIA. The conversation was altogether Jocu-
lar one, such as frequently occur among mcm-
bers of opposite political sentiments. re"
piled, IN subs lance, to the remark Of some one
Of them, that if fifty witnesses were produced
TO swear that General Jackson had violated
half the women Of Tennessee, and burnt the
houses Of the other half, SO many lies have al
ready been told about him thai the people OF
Pennsylvan would not believe them; and ont
of one hundred and nifty thousand votes they
would give HIM fifty thousand OF majority
have received assurances from three oil the
gentlemen, viz: Mr.. Mclean, Mr.. Letter, and
Mr.. Smith, that neither of them made the
communication to the Journal. II is due TO
these gentlemen that should relieve them
from such an impurarion; and leave To the
individual who made the communication, and
those who may have advised its publication,
all the enjoyment which thy can hope TO de-
rive from conduct so utterly unworthy Of men
having any regard to honor, or the rules
which govern the social relations of gentlemen.

THE REAL S7.aTE OF THE CASE


II seems to US TO be high time that the Peo-
pie should understand The true situation OF the
question: respecting an increased protection on
Wool and WooLLEN Goops, now pending in
ME House Of Representatives.
Argument is exhausted; and there is, after
all, very great reason to fear, that nothing but
an inaperattue expression Of public opinion
aDiU cause any measure, tphnieyer, on his
subject. TO be passed at the present session:
The real and sober truth is-Tnat a ia, kson
member was elected SPEAKER, at the CONS
mencement Of The session;
That the Speaker, by the rules Of the House,
appoints alLCommit,ees;
That on h. Committee Of Manufactures, he
appointed Mr.. MALLARY, MIR. STEVENSON, Of
Pa Mr.. CoNpIcT. Mr.. Moore, OF XIV. Mr..
STANBERRY, Mr.. WRlGHr, of New York, and
Mr.. Marlin;
Tha, FIVE. out of these SEVEN members of
the Committee, viz. Messrs Stevenson, Moore,
Wright, Stanberry and Martin, are open and
avowed friends Of General Jackson;
That Mr.. Mallary and Mr. Condc,, and they
alone of the Committee, are friends of the Ad-
ministration;
That Mr.. Mallary and Mr.. Condct, were
members of the last Congress, and both voted
for, ard supported the WooLEss BILL, Of the
last session;
That Mr.. Stevenson AID Mr.. Moore were
also Of the last Congress, and both voted against
that bill,
That Mr.. Whrieht of ~ Y. (no, of Ohio, }
and Mr.. Martin, and MIR. S'anbery, are new
members, and are all three Jackson men, aud
the two last named gentlemen are unde stood
10 be decidedly against protecting tariff;
That the bill, now before the House, was re-.
ported by this Committee; and that of the Com
mit:ee, FIVE members. viz, fUs friends of Gen.
Jackson, agreed to the bill; and Mr. Maary &
Mr.. Condict, the two Administration members
were against il;
That the provisions of this bill are such, in
the opinion'of the most intelligent farmers and
manufacturers, that no rational man an be ex
pected to vote for it; these manufacturers and
wool growers all agree, that this bill would in
jure both. This is the language Of those in.

and from the sea to The Mississippi.
Tha, it imposes so a heavy duty on cheap
coarse wool, such as we do no, raise in this
country, as must entirely break up all the man>

That this enormous duty on imported coarse
wool is obviously designed to catch the support
of the farming interest; while all well informed
