prought lo,SoU voters to the polls. In the
course OF another year they will, it is sup
posed, have strong majority. New-Hamp-
SHIRE IS already decidedly Jacksonian. One
third OF the strength Of New England, in
congress, and, in the Electoral Colleges,
VIII, therefore, be thrown into the jackson
scale. The aStual weight and influence of
New-Engand in the union will thus be
reduced to one third of its due proportion.
In the next Presidential Election, we shall
give, in effect, but seventeen yotes, instead of
Jyty-one, to which we are entitled. New
Hampshire and Maine having IL votes, will
counterbaiance similar number of votes
opposed to theirs, and the remaining seven
Teen VIII represent the strength of New
England.
In TINS humiliating state of things it is
IDLE totalk Of the i" umpirage" of New Eng
land. That proud and elevated position be-
longs only to unanimity and decision. The
dlsunlon and the instability of political char
acter formerly, and again likely to be, char
acteristlckaof New-England, not only les
sens her relative weight in political affairs,
out dlmlnlshes her moral influence and re-
spectabiiity. This, every one knows, was
the result OF the conflicts between the fed
eral and democratick parties of New-Eng-
land. 1t had got to this-that no New
England man, of whatever talent and char
acter was listened to on the floor of Con-
gress. More recently, the New England
delegation has had more influence in the
National Councils, in consequence of their
unanlmlty OF opinion and object. When
thai shall be replaced by jealousy and dis
trust, the whole delegation must sink into
lnslgnlilcance and contempt. 1t becomes
every New-England man to exert his influ-
ence, whatever it may be, to prevent the
disunlon and disgrace which threaten us.
Maine and New-Hampshire will, we hope,
stlll hesitate to separate themselves from
their neighbours and friends, to form an
alliance with distant, if not, in some meas
ure, hostile, States. Was it not said
to New-England at the close of the contest
which carried Mr.. Adams into the Presiden-
cy, "your triumph will be, brief We will |
get. you under again, and zoe will keep you
under" 1t was also said by conspicuous
Southern champion, tive will make YOU the
instruments of your own destruction; when
we wantyou, We can have you" The most
extravagant and presumptuous boasts of our
opponents are in danger of being realized.
1t IS well known that the Southern lead
ers, elated with their success, in establishing
over us dynasty of their own choice. and
IN maintaining its principles in opposition to
the spirit and intents of the Constitution,
confidently expect to carry, in the next Con-
gress, all their favourite measures. A Geor-
gla Senator, in speech made before the
Senate last winter, expressed his regret and
disappointment that circumstances, Ii. e.
the strength of the North and Eastern del
egations) would render it necessary to
postpone to another session the repeal of the
Tariff and the recognition of the claims of
Georgia. Matters have been put in train
to avoid the opposing circumstances"
which last session guarded the honour and
interests of the country. The sixty votes
OF the Southern States will, at the next
session, be swelled to hundred and twenty
votes. New-England will, in all probabili-
ty, furnish some ten or twelve votes to the
number which the Southern States have
been able to SubSidize.
But the questions to which we have allud-
ed are, by no means, the only or the most
important questions the decision of which
will be influenced, by the New-England
Jackson party. The demands of the South
willbe limited only by the extent of their
power. The excuses of the party, now at
the head of affairs, will, every day, be in
creased with its increasing strength and
stability. The present dynasty will, as it
has already been announced, be attempted
to be made perpetual. We put it then to
New England, whether she should permit
two thirds of her political strength to be
subsidized by the party in POWERFUL.

The TARIFF. The Editor of the Savan-
nah Mercury thus speaks of the effects of
the Tariff of 1928 upon the interests of the
South. 1t is an undoubted fact that what
ever benefit has, thus far, accrued from the
Tariff has been enjoyed exclusively by the
Southern States. Hereafter we trust those
benefits will be equally distributed. Much
individual ruin must still be suffered in the
manufacturing States, before manufactures
can be established upon secure basis. 1t
is with this,-as with almost all great en-
terprises, leaders have been sacrificed
for the benefit of their successors.
st will be recollected that our Southern
politicians, some fifteen months ago, prophe-
sled the ruin of our planters, from the addi-
