ter, sees at once the allacy Of the arguments, how.
ever plausible at first view, urged against the ehcour-
agement Of domestic industry We cannot be ali
farmers; for to whom to sell our surplus pro-
duce Not to mere oilers, for oilers have no money
home market in the absence of foreign markets, is
indispensiblc-This can only be obtained by pro-
tecting own Manufactures, instead OF encourag-
ing those of Europe. Yet no sooner was the change
in the sentiments of Mr.. M'Lane known on this in
teresting and vital subject than the shadows in con-
slant attendance on him in all his winnings and in
tracies, discovered that they, too, had been wrong
and now nothing is SO Questionable with them as
their good old notion of Domestic Industry. Te

science and a dereliction Of character; 1T is the
panacea which is to cure all political ills.
This gentleman was long the favorite of the feda
raj party. He was its pet, its spoiled child ant
nothing could be withheld from him which ne desir

that in the election of Mr.. Crawford he took sides
directly against it, He openly abandoned its cause
and deserted to its opponents. This was all righ

Finding himself foiled in the election of Mr..
Crawford, that his hopes were then blasted, like
skilful gambler, when luck is against him, he shifted
the cards IN hopes of better fortune-'The Federal

believe that General Jackson the worst OF men,
he now persuaded was the only man who could save

rees were appointed in the several counties to nomi
nate a representative to Congress, and when they
assembled for that purpose, it was found that there
was majority of two thirds against any Jackson
candidate--Havng been accustomed to carry eve

Castle proposed in order to keep the party togeth

selves, that they should adjourn without making an,
nomination, and permit their opponents to elect
their candidate without Opposition-ltis true tina
this was new and rather strange method OF up
holding party but the stratagem though supper
ted with much smooth oratory, did not succeed.
The friends Of order and good government, who hat
been sent on that conference, had too much sens
and frmness to yield to the insdous proposition
and Mr.. Johns was nominated. Unwilling yet II
