Jackson Congrpss.-We are somewhat inclined
obeeve that the editor Of the Delaware Journal
links the observations under the caption whlcf
eads this article in his last number, are "prett'
marto as we say down country, and calculates
ley are nation near trueo as we say turthei
North. But somewhere here about We "expect'
hat however plausible they appear it y only ne
essary 10 recur to facts, to show that piausIbItJ
all the virtue they possess.
We shall in the first place state that It ls per
ectly well known to every one that our bretAerl
the South are opposed to leglsating on the sub
Get Of manufactures and internal Improvements
Because they do not believe that the constitution
Delegates the power, and because they eFroneouslj
LINK that the protection Of domestic industry op
Frates njurously upon the interests OF tae soath
fFn section Of the Union. Their members OF con
ess therefore oppose these measures from pun
ple, and although they are in favor OF the cleo
Eon of Gen. Jackson, with the fullest evdenc
etore them that he is an advocate for that policy
which they are opposed, yet they could not re
I ain from being "pasied by the will OF thel
Constituents" and they voted therefore in oppos
'on to their political brethren from other parts
he country. Their votes then, are not to be cor
ideed in this case, nor is the character OF tn
Measure, to be judged Of by votes at all, but
he course of conduct, which preceded the hni
!, passage of the tariff bill. 1t is this which char
y cterlses the measure.
