iionD 20 the same class. The Jacks0nafis being q
majority in congress, could when united, pass
bill or not, as they thought the country required
and when not entirely united, could as in the pre-.
sent case still hold such controul over the acts of
that body, as to make them essentially beneficial
to the people by cornering the enemy so that he
could not get out without dong right. This they
did, as relates to the measures under consideration,
and for this we are indebted to jackson Congress.
BY referring to our paper Of the Goth OF Nay,
we find that we then protested against the Adams
men taking to themselves any Of the credit Of pas
sing the tariff BILL and edicted that it would not
be lcng before we should see them attempting it.
Then was the time for the Journal to put in his
claims to the laurcls if he had himself been favor
able 10 the bill. But he i" calculates" lie repo
ses very quietly, until he fances the opposition Of
the Adams men is forgotten, aud until he finds the
measure very popular one, and then absurdy
enough. i" calculates to impose upon the under
standings Of the people. by pretending that it is
not Jackson measure.-Yuu must try again.

works-since which we have seen publication in
the U. S. Gazette Of the Goth ut. signed Fair

could arise out Of what we stated; having our
residence very near the scene of operations, we
did believe that we knew who were the persons
employed by the very efficient Borough Council
that had this important improvement in charge,
not only from personal observations, but from re-
peated interviews with some members OF the Coun.
that Jonas P. Fairianb was the Engineer, and
that Mr.. Martin, Of Philadelphia, whom we ney-
er saw, but who, we heard, was pump maker.
In relation to our plan, as modelled after that Of
the 6 Fair Mount Works. we have only to say
that if an overshoot wheel, is model OF a brea
wheel if pump with suctions is model OF {
pump without them; if an ascending main 2l20 It
