when the very existence Of our government in

II were, on the very verge of that guIph which
threatens TO swallow all our mos. cherished in

country demands the aid of every true sun, wbv
should diSsensions be allowed nay cherished

minority ofthose opposed to the system of mis-
rule run separate ticket; or if ambiiious lead

nominate one, why should any of tie peopIe vote
for it, and thus present broken and divided
front 10 the enemy, and help them to accom-
plish their objects No possible earthly gond
can be attained by voting for the Anti Masonic

effect ? The price of salt is now higher than it has been for hfteen years past. In this case then, che reduction of the duty was not fol- lowed by reduction Ot price. Even an aug nlentatiOn of duty sometimes occasions a re- ductiOn of price. The reason that the price of salt had not fallen, was, that our naviga- ton had been prO6tably employed. The Liverpool salt iS introduced only as ballast and the salt of the Bahamas is not imported, when any better freight can be procured.- The gentleman compares our Sait duty wNn the salt tax of England. Can there be any comparison between our moderate duty and the tax of fifteen shilIings a bushel, which was its amount, when he was in England !- He knew not what might have been the op- pressiOn of the gabelIe in France. to which the gentlemen also compared our salt duty but he did not know that the prosperity Of thls c0antry took it's date from the adoption of the protective policy, of which this salt duty for med a part. To the Tariff, not Of '16, but of '24, we are indebted not only for our pros perity, but for the extinction of the public debt, which was now at hand. He was aware that this discussion belonged to another time. when, no doubt, the subject would undergo a most rigid examination but he must be allowed to comment on the remark made by the gentleman from Missouri, that alum salt is exclusively required for the western con- sumption. undertake to say, said MT. c. that not one bushel in fifty thousand of this sort of salt is used in tho west. ! am far- mer, and never saw a bushel of it on my farm. He had witnessed, in the West the reduction of the price of salt from fifteen dol lars bushel to sevsnty-fve cents, which was the present price of the Kenawha salt, in con sequence of the protection which had been afforded to the manufacturers of salt ID that country"

Mr C;rord.-Ths Nsw-BedfOrd Gazette cont,;ns ths following aneedOte Of that gen.
 Wr. Girard one day asked truckman tn b;s employ. why he did not build himself house, to which he replied that he was too poor having a numerous family dependant upon him, We'll" says he, follow my direc- tions and you will be able. This morning there is q carkO sale of mOlassss on - wharf; go and buy the whole lot; will be- come security for the payment" The man went accordingly, and on the nOIasses being nut up, one hogshead or the lot, started it at a very low rate. The byStandcrs' who were all wholesale dealers, supposing that the man only wanted one hOgshead. would not bld upon him, and it was accordingly struck oil. Much to their surprise, he told the auction ger hO would take the whole lot, naming hIs endorser, and before he left the spot, dispos- ed of his bargain for an advance sufficient to build him snug little tenement.
 Amother.-A young sailmaAer of Phladel- phia called on MT. Girard for the purpose oi buying large quantity of duck, which he wished to, make up into sails. He was stranger to MT. G. and was not prepared to advance the cash for the article wanted: of course Mir. G. told him he must procure some responsible name as surety on his note. The saiIruaker agreed to the proposal, and said. "I will return in few minutes, Mr. Gi- rard, with note fixed according to your re- quest,-and will you lend me hand cart, to convey the canvass to my sail-loft 2" Ger tainly, sir; but you do not intend to cart It down yourself?'' "Yes I do to be sure."- But why do that-why not get some poor man to do it for you ?"' "Because," replied the sail maker, .sf do it myself shall save a shilling" "Very we'll sir, you shall have my cart, and will take your note without an endorser."
 Another.-The writer of this article. when quite lad, was one morning very early on Clifford's wharf, Philadelphia, where he stop ped to observe Mir. Girard marking some brandy pipes. He soon attracted the notice of Mr. e. who said. little boy, can you do this ?' the reply was in the affirmative. and Mir. c. handed him the marking pot and brush, and said, "then do it." He took the pot and brush, and after being employed about an hour and half, Mir. G. handed him five silver dollars, saying, take that" He ran home with the money, and thought himself the richest boy in the world; but he had soon to return with his father to MT. G. to test the truth of his having received honestly so much money. MT. G. replied. "1 gave it to him to encourage his sarIy rising and indus try."

turned Co his house. Alter a while he was cOaGed out again, and lines were attached to each of his fOre legs. Again he placed enc of his feet upon the platform, and at that mo- ment the unen who were holding the fine drew it tight and kept the leg stretched out. He then extended his other fore-lsg, and that was immediately drawn out in the same man. ner. Finding there was cOmpulsiOn in the case, and that he must go, and judging like philosopher, that his weight was less likely to break through when spread over large sur face than when concentrated, he threw him. self upon his belly, and by muscular move ment, worked his way from the ship to the wharf, to the great delight of thousands of people who covered the nsighboring wharves, vessels and stores.
 The nature of our political system. says the National Intelligencer, is we'll described in the annexed passage of the opinion of the Supreme Court of the United States. in the case of Cohen vs. Virginia, as delivered by the Chief Justice.
 "That the United States form, for many, and for most important purposes, single na- ton, has not yet been denied. In war we are one people. In all commercial regulations, we are one and the same people. In many other respects, the American people are one. And the Government, which is alone capable of controlling and managing the interests in all these respects, is the'government Of the Union. It is their Government, and in that character they have no other. America has chosen to be, in many respects and for many purposes, a nation and for all these purp0s- es, her government is complete to all these purposes, her government is complete; to all these objects it is competent. The Peo- pie have declared, that in tine exercise of all the powers given for these objects. it is su- preme. It can, then, in cfecting these ob- jects, legitimately control all individuals or governments within the American Territory. The constitution and laws of State, so far as they are repugnant to the Constitution and laws of the United States, are absolutely void. The States are constituent parts of the United States. They are members of one great ennpire for some purposes sovereign, for some purposes subordinate."
