Hero.-yan-you were born either to be my
successor. or to be hanged. Have you said any
thing about the tariff in the Veto? That most
perplexing of all perplexing subjects, haunts me
like the night mare. On the one side, these Car
DINA Hotspurs are raving like madmen, and must
be appeased. On the other hand. Only touch these
Cd spinning ~Jennies, and you hear the Penn
s~ylvania Black Dutch growing like distant thun-
der.
Premier.-I have made the Tariff, and the
course of policy we should pursue, with regard
to 1.-THE subject of profound meditation. Your
message at the opening of Congress, was so con.
trived that neither North nor South should be Of
Tended and vet both draw from it the strongest
encouragement. The Veto, whilst 1t is perhaps
a little more decided in favor of protection (soind
policy requiring at this thine a decided tone,j
vet adopts that cautious language which will not
hereafter commit us. To use Mr.. Speakers
! sentiments at the Notification dinner, we have
spoken with .:animated moderation" Hear me
rreads7 ..As long as the encouragement of do
s.mestic manufacture is directed to National ends
it shall receive from me a temperate but steady
support" Now you perceive that we reserve
expressly the right Of determining hereafter how
far the Tariffs National. We 60 for National
roads, and National manufactures.
Hero. Admirable! But why do you call it 4
Notification dinner, Van? Did | not drink,
"Ihne Union-it must be preserved"
Premier.-Aye, and a more s.. .jndicious" toast
your excellcncy never gave. Have you not per-
ceived how all parties place their own particular
construction uponit? To the friends of the I'm
ion it was acceptable, because it promised a firm
determination to execute the laws. To the Null
lifers and Anarchists, it was equally acceptable,
because they construed it to mean that the Union
could alone be preserved by yielding every thing
to State Rights. All are satisfied and all recon-
ciled.
Hcro.-yan, you delight me. No Chief ever
had such a Premier; and no Premier ever had
such a Chief. You shall have the highest reward
of your fidelity and allegiance,-the mantle Ofthe

Nomination Confrmed.-John Randolph of
/ Virginia, to be Envoy Extraordinary and Minis
ter Penipotentiary to Russia. Mr.. Randolph is
a man of great versatility of talent. His sayings
and his doings, have been very MYSTERIOUS since
the,administration of Mr.. Jefferson. Since then
he has been about one half Ishmaelite. His hand
has ~atbleast been occasionally against every man
with whom he had any thing to do. tits said that
under Mr.. Jefferson's administration, he wanted
the appointment of Minister to the Court of st.
James. In this he was disappointed; and he has
ever since been rather testy. There is more re-
fnement about the Russian court now than there
was under the administration OF MIR. Jefferson,
and we expect the old gentleman of Roanoke will
like his present appointment %tolerably well. 1t,
however, he should, in one of his whims, take it
into his head that it would be rather chilly for
him in Russia, as like as not he will refuse to ac-
cept the appointment. We are certain he had
rather 20 to Paris. Mad Rirer Cowant, June 5.

We see the account of the results of a court
martial at Washington, variously stated in the
papers. The ACCOUNT briefly this:
Lit. Col. MILLER was fountguilty of causing
the infection of corporeal punishment, one dozen
blows with a piece of wood, upon a marine, and
of giving a peremptory order that every officer
under his command, whatever might be his creed
or religious scruples, should attend church in the
barracks: and the court pronounced the sentence
of suspension Of rank for three months and to
receive during that time only his proper pay"
Lieut.. JAMES w. SHAMBURGH was found gull
ty of disrespectful conduct, neglect of duty, dis
obedience of orders, &c. and was sentenced to a
suspension Of rank and emolument tor twelve
months.
Lieut.. Fl. n. CRABB was found guilty of negli-
gently emitting to visit prisoners on a particular
day, and sentenced to be reprlmandedsl IN a pub
lie order.
The secretary of the navy approved the whole
Of the sentences, and ordered the two last to be
carried into effect.
With respect to 1t. Col. MILLER, his former
gallantry in action, the difference in opinion as to
the application of the army or navy laws to the
marine corps. and the time which elapsed between
the offence and the arrest, were considered of suf-
icient weight to allow him to be released from
arrest and to resume his sword. Afterwards Lit.
Col. HENDERSON, commander of the corps, order
ed him to resume his command. u. S. Gaz.

When the question Of the emblems and devil
ces for our national arms was before the old Con-
gress, a member from the South warmly opposed
the eagle, as a monarchial bird. The King of
birds could not be a suitable representation of a
country whose institutions were founded in hos
tility to kings. The late Judge Thatcher, then
a representative from Massachusetts, in reply,
proposed the goose, which he said was a most
humble and republican bird, and would in 9TH
prospects prove advantageous, inasmuch as the
