Mr.. Editor,

MI. EultOT,
In the Philadelphia Sentinel of Monday
l4th April. is letter from the Editors Correspond
ent at Washington, which after detailing the mo-
tons and amendments before Congress- on the tax
upon wool, in the two concluding paragraphs says
"'rhe true American System requires us to shear
oar o,On feeces and to acear them' And in the pa
per of the 10Th, in remarking that Mr.. Bnns had
said that Messrs. h,ghan,, Miller, adams, kremer,
and Mitchell as voting in opposition to the wool
growers in Pennsylvania would not be reelected.
the Editor of the Sentinel declares the charge to be
false, and the impertincnce equal to the threat for
that these gentlemen had voted in favor of Mr. Suth-
erIand's amendment. This amendment reduced
the duty to four cents lb. and is equally objection
able as when 10 cents; because the interest OF the
manufacturer requires it should be free OF duty.
while the duty laid, advances not the interests of
the farmer but was intended to deceive him aAogeth

1t has been again and again repeated that this
country produces ,voolofth sort to be faTed Jour

same footing. from whence this sort of wool is i'm
ported. Noneof the american sheep produce ms

TEST AND CORPORATION AoTs.-The speech of
Lord John Russell in the British House of Commons,
explains briefly and satisfactorily the nature and
objects of these facts, we'll known by name in this
country. The Corporation Act was passed in the
reign of Charles the Second, and. was intended as
check on those who he knew to have contributed
most to the deposal and death of his father. 1t pro-
vides that none should be allowed to enter any
poration without taking the oath of Allegiance and
Supremacy, and also an oath declaring that they
considered it unlawful to take on any pretence,
against the King. A clause was likewise introduce
ed, providing that none should be admitted to such
corporations without taking the sacrament according
to the rites of the Church of England. The Test
Act was passed in the same reign, In consequence
of the Catholic tenets of the King. and of the heir
apparent and was framed to exclude Catholics from
offices in the gift of the Crown. These two acts
had therefore very different motives. The Dissen
tiers being the popular party it feared that they
would be elected by the people into the corporations;
this gave rise to the Corporation Act. The Catho-
lies, the contrary, being favored by the king, the
object of the Test Act was to exclude them, not
from corporations, to which it unlikely the peo
pie would elect them, but from offices in the gifts of
the sovereign.
| The successive obstacles to the repeal of these
unjust and impotlc acts, were somewhat singular.

was supported by the most eminent men in the coun

day. A succeeding minister, Sir Robert Walpole

This goes by the Marquis De La Fayette,

at his door, smoking pipe in country village, he
was accosted by poor laboring man. The parson
told him he made it rule not to encourage idleness,
but it the man could go into his garden, and root up
the weeds he would pay him for it. " That's all

along with me, and I'll show you what's obe done. "
When they were in the garden, the reverend gen

being half starved, and finding the other would give

The FRS, Session oil the Twentieth Congress
has now terminated, and the materials If which
that body was composed are scattering them
selves 10 every point Of the compass. The le-
gislative history Of the session deserves a mo-
ment's attention. The prominent acts which
have been passed, of public character, are the
Tariff Bill, the Bill for the relief of the Sur,iv
ing Officers Of the Revolution, aud the Bill au>
tnorizing subscriptions TO the stock Of the
Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Company. BY
