FOR THE LITERARY CADET.
THE BARGAIN.
Tha! there was a bargain made by certain
politicians of the Western and Northern States
with those Of the South, is beyond a reasona-
BILE doubt. II was well understood that the
southern people were opposed TO the elevation
OF Cen Jackson to the Presidency. II was
known too, that the people of the outh held
opinions decidedly hostile to every American
improvement, and particularly to American
manufactures The Western State, have been
mole saeacious in examining and Judging of
section Of the Republic. There being in ex-
istence difference of opinion between the
South and the West as it regards our great
national interests, the actors on the political
theatre did resort TO stratagcm to bring about
revolution in the affairs Of Government So
far then efforts have succeeded but the peo.
Pile who are the sufferers in this unhalo
coalition, which has aimed q deadly blow nj
their interests and Independence, will most
assuredly deny the right 10 make such bar
gains, and will not ratify the agreement for
such sacrifice. In this bargain, by certain po-
lticians, who are well known, there was
mutual sacrifice to be made, between the con-
tracing parties Of the south, west and north.
On the part of the south, there was stipula-
ton to vote for Gen. Jackson for President,
and make sacrifice Of southern preiudices
and feeling against the cnain, so far as to
support him in the election if PENNSYLVANIA
and New York and the other states would by
these contracts, sell the interests of their
constituents, support southern prewdices,
PROSTATE our manufactures, and go with them
against al internal Improvements. To bring
this great revolution about, no ordinary means
could be expected to have the effect A Jour
ney by Martin Van Buren,, with the vender
Of British Agents drugs, G. G. Cambrelepg,'
was taken to the south last summer, for the
purpose Of reviewing the land and TO look at
the people south of" Mason and Dixon's' line
The fruits Of that journey are already felt and
known to the intelligent This grand farce
to sell the peoples interest in the West,
could not be accomplished by any di-
rect means, therefore it was absolutely ne ces-
sary that the New York and PENNSYLVANIA
bargalners, should hold out to the people, that
they were for internal improvements and lnaH-
ufactures. Martin Van Buren, at the Albany
meeting Of manufa cturers, before the Harris
burgh convention sat, declared himself in IA
vor of protecting manufa cturcs but was much
afraid they would make a political question of
It ard thereby destroy themselves. Martin Van
Burcn was the first man who named thing of
the kind, as the manufacturers have had no.
thing to do with political juggling. Now is
there an intelligent man in the country, who
doubts, that Martin Van Buron WIS the very
man who laid hold Of this opportunity, and
actually spread the first glimpse of an idea
that the Harrisburgh Convention was intended
for political purpose No. he knew that
the manufi cturers were looking forward for
bread, not for Offices and he, whilst warning
the meeting against identifying itself with any
political party. had his calculatio ms made, to
make the same uses which he recommc nded he
meeting TO avoid. In his speech at Albany, he
spurned the idea of his absenting himself from
his seat on the vote for the tariff the session be-
fore; but those who know him, sod knO,c him
fuUy. have no doubt on this subject At this ses-
sion of Congress Virginia Speaker, avowedly
an enemy to the tariff, was chosen BY the ia OK
sonians to preside over our interests. Several
days more time than usual was taken to appoint
the committees. And what was the result? Why,
these master spirits who must still keep up ap-
pearanccs to their constituents ,aflec cted 10 have
committee selected on manufa ctures who
were friendly to its interest But the hook was
so thiny covered with bait, that the fish
would not nbble. Such committee was
placed on the manufa curing interest as we're
merely public actors for those who pulled
the wres behind the scene, and tho fate
Of any protection, to the suffering interests
Of wool growers and manua cturers is certain
by the present Congress- These workers in
the dark, under pretencc Of friendship to wool
growers, farmers and manufa cturers, will hard
ly be able to satisfy the intelligent Yeonanry
in New York and Pennsylvania, that all is
right.
To shew there was bargain, nothing mys-
terious is required, for why is it that every
jackson man has joined the "ancient domln-
ion," and the Southern States! All the Jack
son papers that were in ia vor Of internal inn
provements and manufa ctures, have smuta-
neonsly been electrified with this Southern
spirit, and talk the same language that the
British agents and their supporters dictste.-
The Jackson men now begin to throw Off the
mask, and attao. the principles of protection
10 American industry. The speech Of Samuel
d. Ingham, of Pennsylvania, is specmes Of
the outragcs committed against Tie in'oro.i, Of
his constituents; and, is it supposaIso that
Pennsylvanians will be gulled by this lcecrde-
main! No, they will not, for they have always
been the first in tho field to fight for American
interests, and they will not sacrifice their prop
erty and prospects to make any individual
President. The wool growers Of the West
will have practical knowiedge this season
of this jugc Ing policy, which will be more
