From Ike Geoyyia Coyr;cy.

venerable gentleman, one of the Oldest as we'll as
the richest citizens Of this county in handing us lis
subscription money the other day, took occasion to
give us his opinion OF the Tariff and expressed great
surprise at the blind opposition of the South TO
policy raught with more benefit it, than any other
section of the country. He says, he can clothe his
Negroes Tor hall the money he usedto do and that the
want OF manufactures IN this country cost him du-
ring the last war, not less than 10 900 Dollars To
It's, it always appeared the evidence Of pcrver
iect to deny the eXpediency and utility of every ma
tons supp lying, within itself, all the means ncccs-
sary for its comfortable existence. That this is q
deep rooted conviction in every honest mind is proved
by the reluctance with which the South re
ceves certain articles even from their fellow cit-
zens OF the North 1t is evidence of degrading de-
pendence, which pride urges throw off, by pro-
vidng for ourselves, but which other causes opc-
rate to prevent aud none more powerfully than pnr-
tsnn pofitCS.--Such has been the fermentation excl
ted by the activity of few ambitious asDirents-
so deeply have their deluded friends been commit
ted this question: that the whole Soulbn stands
on ITS consistency 10 proud sulklncss. Nothing but
the qualification Of their selfish ambition in few of
lis leading men, will break the chain which nowbinds
Us TO our own folly and undong.
That Tariff of protective duticsis necessary for
national independence, by continuing i'm existence our

Mr.. Pail Buren.-W We shall keep an eve uuon the
movements of this gentleman, and his train of satel-
lites and buffers The needle does not more faith
fully turn to the pole than the desires and affections
OF the Secretary of State concentrate upon the Pres
idcntia Office. BY and by, we shall hear that it is
quite 'safe precedent to exalt the premier one
grade higher being the highest in the political scale
His dear friend" of the Enquirer, with his wontcd
caution contents himself present, with little sly
wheeling and caiolng with public opinion. In the
last paper, there are certain mysterious s.givings
OUT, every word and syllable of which, bear the I'M
press and sign manuel of the Senior Editor; yet for
fear of premature committal"--the words e'FoR THE
Enquirer" are cunningly prefxed to the article
we beg the readers OF that "enyably decent" print,
TO mark well the style, scope, and design of the
said article. Its whole drift, is TO exaggerate Mr.
an buren S services, even in comparison with his
llinstrous predecessors in the State Department. by
first setting forth the great difficulties, nc and Gen
Jackson have had to encounter, from want of fam-
larlty with the public Offices and their total iDexpc-
rIcncc in diplomatic afairs. We ourselves, ;.n,
those who thought with us, MI along contended that
nothing was more preposterous than to entrust men
with the management of the great concerns of this
nation, who were totally Ignorant of fore ign re-
lat ons, aud unaccustomcd to the complex operations
of the Government. When time shall devcIope the
shps.and plumbers, which will inevitably grow out
this short-slghted and mischievous pocy,-wc shall
hear the ''slangwhongers' Of Tie coplbination,-he
buffers and worshppers of the ''powers that be-
skuking behind this preteXt ofwant of experience.
We beg our readers to recollect, that what we now
venture as prophecy, will in time become history.
Mr.. Richie says--"It is understood that Mr.. Van
Buren, Is strictly confined to his post-[that is, siuce
his return from New Y ork and Deaware.l He has
just completed long series ofdespaches for Messrs
Nj Lane and Rives, and -noio is preparing the dis
patches of Messrs. Frebe, Tor the Netherlands
and Van Ness, (for Spain) How circumstanfia!
What faithful correspondent is ''dear Martin"
to his loving friend of the Enquireg,--,hus to ac-
quaint him with all the OF the Bureau. The
dispatches for Spain, and Netherlands are now be-
ing prepared, to the fashionable phraseology--
We wonder our worthy contemporary, has not la
ken trip to Washington, purpose to supervise
these precious documents, which are to rebound so
much to Mr.. Van Burcn's credit, and TO place him
hereafter SO ''very high in the public estimation"

Comment by Tie CLc1 Senti,,ei g. Gazette, Of Ing

does not "devoe his undivided attention the post

do bis printing concern still continues 'he primary

Tie Lynchburg (Va.) Jeffersonian, makes the an
heXed statement:
''We understand that the wheat market is sill nm
the decline at Richmond. The article is now sell
ing IN that place at IS cents and was expected that
flour worid fall 10 81 90 Sales of wheat have been
made IN this place at So cents and the extremes of
prices may be set down at 60 a 65 cents"
Upon which The Philadelphia Gazette remarks
''Who, alter such statement, can doubt the pol-
icy OF our Government, in pursuing every measure
British corn laws"
Is it the opinion of any one intelligent man. ac-
quaiDted with the circumstances, that it would be
any advantage to the United States if the British
were to repeal their laws in toto2 their ports
were opened, as we presume they would be, to all
the world, corn, in other words, wheat and -four,
would be cheaper in England than in Philadelphia
or New York No one doubts this Hence the fol-
~ OF TALKING about their repeal benefit TO the
United States. We do not believe il would be worth
a cent; and in truth, do know that the Brit
ish Government has any privilege within its dispo-
sal worth even two or three clauses of the tariff.
