H0NFSTY II P0LITICs.

I..I NV N.H . III .A
The following is an extract of a Letter
from JArFs Wus0N, one of the Repre-
seauuyes in Congress from Pennsylvania,
lu rcoIY t0an invitation 60 attend a Dolt.
cal meeting, which bis engagements pre-
vented him from attending. False pride
had not closed his senses against couvc
ton. and honest impudence has prompted
the disclosures To- his constituents of the
real stateofhis mind on the great political
question of the day.
"At the time the honor Of a seatin Con
gress was first conferred upon me, from a
variety ofcauses not now necessary for me
TO enunerate or refer to. the voice of Penn
sylyama was decidedly In favor of Gen.
Jackson for the Presidency. A large
portion of her citizens believed be had
claims for that honor, far surprising those
ofany other candidate. Iu that opinion,

Influence ofsome of the best feelings of oul

Ihef, that he who may have conducted d

led ola great capacity ofmind, and, conse-
Iquenty, of all the requisite qualifications

likely to prevail In this country, because,

But alas how few have been the charac-
ters that re- emble Washington Let the
| HISTORY ofall successful soldiers answer the
Question. But the causes of the evils
which have proved fatal to Republics, .
are of too general and extensive a nature
I to be discussed at large in a communica-
Iton Ike this. Ny object is to draw your
attention 10 "a few things of a more specific
Icharacter-thlngs involving the political
economy the country. The public opin-
ION of our State, Is so decidedly IN favor OF
the protection, of domestic manufactures,
that no man who looks to the enjoyment OF
public favor, will dare to oppose the sys-
tenn; but there are many, whose ConneXIon
with Southern politicians on the subject OF
the Presidency, induce them to fall into a
course of conduct, which, fit had succeed
ed, would certainly have defeated all hopes
of affecting the passage of any law cal
cuIated TO extend protection to our home in
dusuy Even since the determination OF
certain leading politicians Of Pennsylva-
ma To- combine with the South, we have
been continually lectured about the dam
ger Of monopolies, and pursuaded to be-
lieye thatan measures for the protection OF
manufactures, We're to result to the exclu-
sye benefit of the New England States
as though every thing which promoted the
prosperity ofNew England must necessa-
.rlly result to the injury of Pennsylvania :
And when speaking of the views entertain
ed In the two extremes Of the Union, the
North has been continually represented
as being In favor of manufactures from self
ism yiews-a sentiment which Pennsylva-
MA ought not to encourage--whlle the op-
position ofthe South was excused because
.t had always prevailed there Thus 1t
has 0een that the preludlces Of our People
have been attempted to be enlisted against
The tariff policy of New England, on the
ground Of superior interest, and, at the
same time, cooperation and union with the
South urged, on the ground ofunitorm hos
uuU.--a hostility which, as it has always
existed, ought no longer to be nouced'

gaining new advocates IN this city among

readily acknowledged; but of the wisdom

FOR THE STATESMAN.

As a merchant having extensive con-
neXloUs M business with country dealers
from Maine to Alabama, have deiber
ately and calmly looked at the IF cts which
the new Taufhas produced thus far on the
community; and ] am bound to declare it
as my honest and candid belief, that so far
from It's having produced bad results and
.entalled misery and wretchedness on our
country, 10 has been the means 81 saving
% e half ofthe merchants of this city from
destruction, and a great proportion of them
throughout the U. :. from bankruptcy and
rum.
/ ann the more confirmed in this opin-
ion from conversations with merchants,
who have already visited this city, from
most of the States IN the Union; find that
there Is a general decrease of disposable
produce IN every section of our country,
and IN many places a deficiency for home
consumption, while large stocks of goods
remain ouhand. We all know the nature
Of the importing business the preceding
year. We also know that early last fall
the United States Bank, as well as Other
Banks sounded an alarm; and we now see
the wisdom Of their doing so. We fell

with many hard things, as VIII ever be the

The Young Napoleoa-Tt would APP
pear from the following account in Ger
man paper, that the young Napoleon pro-
misses to prove ga chip of the old block"
The young Duke of Reichstadt, the son
Of Napoleon, went through his last exam
nation in every branch of his studies to
the perfect satisfaction Of their Imperial
Maiesties, and Of his mother who were
present on the occasion. His grandfather
told him, after the examination had been
concluded, that within a year he should
enter the army; upon which the young
prince is said to have exclaimeG-'"Ihank
God then my fate is fixed" There Is a
rumor current that Austria means to pro-
cure for him the throne of Portugal, by ne
gotiahng a marriage between him and the
young Queen Maria da Gloria, all title to
whose hand her hopeful uncle Miguel has
forfeited. We do not know what truth
there Is in the rumor.

ChampolIion, Jun. who Is about to embark
at Marseilles for Egypt, having inspected
a valuable collection of ancient manu-
scripts in the possession of NJ. Sallier. an
inhabitant Of AK, has discovered two rolls
Of papyrus relating to "The History and
Wars ofthe Reign of SesOstris the Great 8
These manuscripts are dated the ninth year
of that AIonarch's reign. Sesostrls
Rhames, or the Great, according to the
calculations of the German chronologists,
lived In the time of Moses, and was thes son
as Is supposed, of the Phareah who per-
ished in the Red Sea, while pursuing the
lsrealites. This remarkable document,
which, aner a lapse gilmore than three
thousand years, VI. ChampOllion has dis
covered, as by a miracle, may contain de-
tails, the interest of (which viii be readily
imagined, on some of the grandest inci-
dents of Sacred History. On the ID INST
the Academical Society Of AK received
the report ofAI Sallicr, relative to this dis
coverv. A third roll has also been found,
treating either on astronomy or asTology,
but more probably on both these sciences
combined. Ithas not vet been opened.

tional light upon the conceptions Of the
Heavenly system entertained by the EgyP

devoted themselves to that study.
