 From the National Journal.
 We perceive that some pains have been ta- ken by the Underwriters from this Ci.v, to the Opposition journalists abroad, to pro duce angimpressionthat the Speaker of the House of Representatives would appoint. s. had appointed, Committee on manufactures which would be favorable to the manufactur CTS and the tariff: and one correspondent ac- counts for this conduct "not because he an- proves of their system, but on liberal prin- ciple of giving every interest and claim its fair representation and chance of being heard" Even in the Opposition paper of this City usually as violent and as pertinacious in its opposition to truth as to sound principles We are told that sir out Of seven members of the Committees are friendly to the Tariff
 A plain statement of the facts will be suf- fcient to put down these assertions, which are only intended to produce false impressions abroad. Four of the members of the Com mittee were in the last Congress, and voted on the Woollen Bill, which was a true test of their affection for the Manufacturers Mir. Mallary and Mir. Condict voted in it's favor: Mir. Stenvenson, of Pennsylvania, and Mir. Moore, of Kentucky, voted agaiust it. Here, then, we have t,co Opposition men known by their recorded votes. One of the remaining three IS from South Carolina, and is acknowi- 1 edged to be inimical. The other two are the two new Jackson member from Ohio. c. lected by the anti-tariff anti-nternal improve 1 ment party, and Representative from New York, who has been represented to us as of the same party. Such is the character of the Committee, as relates to it's predilection for manufactures and the protection of man. utacturlng interests. Yet we are told of the spirit Of bcrality which dictated their appoint ment; of the measure of magnanimity which has been glven-"a measure (says our wri- ter) not always dealt out by others. during the late Congress"
 II is not our intention to throw unn1eried odinm or the Speaker: any more than 1t is that he should receive just SO much credit as he ought to receive for his appointments. We are only anxious to meet and counteract the misstatements of those who, affecting to be his friends, because they belong. for the present, to the same party, are guilty of in- jury against him. by provoking a more close and rldgid scrutiny of his liberaty and imr partIality than might have otherwise taken place. If the result should he disclosure of facts which, will prove. that the liberal and impartial ground on which they have placed his conduct is untenable, they will only have to thank themselves for 1t. It may De an unpleasant conviction, yet one which will be forced on them. that in lay 'ng claltn so permanently, to the merit of magnanimity, while their acts have disowned it, the Opposition party have satisfied all req s"nable men that they are yet in entire igno- rance of the feeling itself.
