We gather from the National Journal some facts,
in relation TO the resolution offered by the Commit
tee of Manufactures on Monday last and the vote
on that resolution. Our readers will remember
tina, The resolution gave to the Committee the pow
er to bring individuals from the most distant parts
Of the Union to be examined on oath, and that it
was adopted by a vote Of l09 to SO.

The Journal says, that the power granted is an
arbitrary power as it refers TO persons, and an IN
quisi,o,al power as it refers to papers, 1t enables
the Committee to open the iron chests OF the man

The indiscriminate partlxans Of Gene
raj jackson, have compared him 10
Washington. A more unapt comparison
could scarcely be imagined. There
is no similitude between the two charac-
ters. II is true they were both of them
American Generals, and here the analo-
Ky ceases. General Washington united
in his character, great and extraordinary
quaiities--integrity in private life, .
sound mind IN a sound body--a regula
ted temper, order and method as we'll MS
habits OF business--principles Fixed and
unchangeable- dignity, self possession
and self command Asa man, be res-
pected the rights Of Humanity as citi-
zen, he obeyed the laws--as an officer,
he invariably regarded the civil power.
Not so with General jackson rs the doe
umen:s herewith published sufficiently
prove. Even jackson himself has here
tofore disciaimed all wish to resemble
the Saviour Of bis country. On the 18th
December, 1895, being then o member
o. Congress be solemnly recorded bis
vote against an Address to Washington,
in view Of bis approaching retirement,
closing with these words:
For our cvuntry's sake, for the sake
Of Republicanliberty, 1t is eur earnest
wish that your example may be the guido
of your successors; and thus, after be-
ing the ornament and safe guard OF the
present age, become the patrimony Of
our descendants

a decided friend and partisan Of General

addressed to him BY the jackson com

were lndiscreet enough to publish il. In
the handbills circulated in Frederick and
Washington counties Paine's description
OF the suiierings of young Lewis are en-
tlrsly omitted We are not surprised at
'hls. Tor 1t IS scene we'll calculated to
melt the heart of the most obdurste, and
coming from an advocate of General

If en- whether il is not time 10 put an end to
this enc sided system Of freeirade,' TO stop the
unnec essary accumulation Of products that can
not be sold, and by securing ourselves, at least
at home, against the competition OF protected
foreigners, enable portion of our labor to take
a new and more prof able direction?
l, is idle to talk of the abandonment oil this
system BY Great Britain. She never has anan-
doned il, and she never can abandon 1t. 1t Is
the source at once other wealth aud her power
II is the simple instrument, b! winch she mas
ted tribute from, and confronted the oes-
TIME. Of the world. But o,her nations are be-
ginning TO learn wisdom from her example and
their own depression. They feel tina, "tree
trade" to be fair, must be reciprocal, and those
who buy all, and sell none, must, in the end, De
| exhausted. Self defence, therefore, has forced
upon them the system of self protection. And
10 her desire TO countsract this invasion OF her
monopoly may be traced every indication that
Great Britain has ever given OF disposition
| TO return 10 the principles Of "free trade" The
French director Of the customs showed per-
feet understanding Of Mr.. Huskinson's views,
when, in reply 10 his proposition for recipro
cal reduction Of duties, he said-"Ih plan will

nufactures-they are completely established.
When ours are in .imiiar condition, we shall
be prepared 10 meet you-uniil then you must
excuse US for holding fast by our protecting

But the best commentary on the boased liz
beralny of Great Britain, is found in her con-
duct towards US. Our bread-stuffS can be fur.
nished to her al half the price Of her own, ard
yet they are excluded from her market; and
her late custom house bill imposes heavy addi-
tlonal duties on our slaves and other lumber,
solely with a view 10 project the interests ofher
