From the United StateS Gazette Of May IL
ADMINISTRATIONS TARIFF.

We copy the following very curious paragraphs
from the Mercer County Gazette. They curl
Gus because that paper has the editorial head
the following ticket:
For Observation-Disclosures jackson.
For Woo President william, wilkins.
sin our paper to-day, will be found extract in
commentator of Mr. Clay, which we hunblv
think is not unmcritcd. Mr.. Clay is, and always
has been, the able and talented advocate of the in
tcrcsts and views Of Pennsylvania
Justice to ourselves and to our country, under
clear conviction of mpcrous duty, at this critical
acknowledgement that Bcnry Clay stands az a pillar,
on which is based the American Systematic re-
chartcring Of the u. States Bank-and the salvation
of the Union.
So momentous and important objects are these,
that no Pennsylvania friend to the Union,
should suffer themselves to sleep when they as
sailed.
With deep regret we are constrained to admit
that Gen. Jackson has entirely failed to fulfil the
expectations Of his friends, in maintaining the
dignity of our republic. spirit of faction disor-
ganization, and disunion, claiming the Chief
Magistrate as its friend in the South, and spread
ing 10 threaten the safety of the Union,
to an alarming degree, and must no longer be
concealed from the people. When our dearest pros
poets about to bo sacrificed to the IDOL it is time
to throw it away"
If the above is not the true policy Of Pennsylva-
mia, then we know not that she has any policy
nay, more, If the sentiments so well expressed by
the Mercer Gazette, be not the growing and pre-
vailing continents of Pennsylvania, then have we
mistaken the signs of the times. We ardently
hopo that the noble stand taken by the Gazette and
the manly tone Of its editor, will be noticed and
followed by others, who must now feel that they
have done all for party that party has right TO
ashland that the country has paramount claim
upon their services.

THE BANK.--A correspondent Of tho New
York American states with confidence, that not.
withstandng all tho delays thrown in by its oppo.
nents, the Bank will be echarcrcd, and that Con.
gress twill not adjourn till the two important ques
tons, the Bank and the Tariff, fairly discussed
and disposed Of" Ofthc feeling of the House OH
the subject of the Bank he adduccs as an evidence
the strong sensation with which the expose of Mr.
MDuffie touching the Clayton Report was received
1t produced pretty general impression of disinge
nuousness and false play. AS to tho prolongatiou
of the session, it will be remembered that Mr.
Mercer introduced motion for putting the Hall
into Il condition suitable to the warm season. The
motion, with general understanding of its object,
was adopted by large majority.-Bah. Pat.

THE HOUSTON CASE.

"Oh! most lame and impotent conclusion"
Wehave accounts from Washington, in addition
to the p. S. publish from the National Intelli.
gencSr, of the final decision in the House of Re.
personalities in this case. On Saturday night i,
was decided that Houston should be reprimanded
by the Speaker. Having before decided that he had
been guilty of contempt of the House and breach
of privilege, we had supposed that the members OF
that body would have rated their dignity and priv
leges little higher but they certainly ought to be
the best Judges of their own consequence, when
they rate themselves hunbly. The House has
committed a much greater contempt upon itself,
than Houston did, and should he proceed to pull
the Speakers nose in reply to his reprimand the
House. we suppose, would ro-rcprimand him. We
shall, tomorrow, lay the vote before our readers
The ayes, with the exception of those who, upon
principle, opposed to all constructive contempts
or, to speak more correctly, who deny that any act
ought to be held contempt unless it obstruct the
proceedings of the body while in session, deserve
to have their names immortalized la mode NJ c Fin
gal.

From the Baltimore Chronicle of Man I I

Judge Breckenridge, whose communication we
publish to-day, is well known the citizens oil
Baltimore, having formerly been their representa-.
tive In the Legislature of Maryland From his
intimacy with General Jackson, he had the best OPP
pertunities of ascertaning his disposition and GA
pacity, and there can be doubt of the correct
ness of the statements made. We hope that
the exposition of Judge Breckenridge will be at
tentivey read. as it is temperate appeal to the
sound and discretion of the nation. 1t strips
General Jackson of many of the plumes with which
he had decorated himself, and III which he had
been exhibited to tho people, and exposes his gno-
rance and total incapacty to discharge the duties
of any ordinary Office, requiring acquaintance
with civil government, the common rules of
English composition. We had abundant evidence,
before this exposition, of General Jackson's llite-
rary, and of his desPotic temper-but Judge Brack-
snridgo has given to these facts, what may term,
an official character he proves that he composed
many of the papers whish bear the signature of
General Jackson, anC for which the latter had OBJ
tanned credit with the people.
We know not what effect this appeal may have,
or whether it will have any--for so strongly arc
some men fixed in the Jackson faith, that, one
to arise from the dead and to doubt the inalbility
Of the President, he would be denounced as n liar
and a sondcrer by the hirelings of tho party.

May 10Th, 1882. (
Mcssrs Editors: Accident threw in my way, the
other day, paper containing notice of the Essex
Anii-Abclition meeting. You well ina CINE,
that many OF those who place their sole reliance on
the liberal and enlightened opinions of the people,
Tor the preservation Of political institutions,
have viewed such attack upon the liberty of tho
press with no slight apprehension. For my own
part, cannot but believe, that if such feelings as
are expressed in those resolutions were to become
more largely prevalent among tho people, we might
soon look to see some legislative attack upon the
press-a prohibition, first, upon the discussion of
that question, and in the end, upon whatever it
might please tyranncal majority TO say, till the
whole should be cOnsummated in an undsnuised
censorship! This, thank God, is not probable; bvt
fany thing could render it so, the measures OF the
Essex meeting carried out to tho full length which
events might make necessary, and which the gen.
tIemen ofth0t meeting would probably not be back
ward to execute, would be those precisely most
likely TO bring such event to pass.

The following confirmation of our views of Sa
turday last, is from tho N. York Courier. We al
SO give the judicious comments of the Editor
OF tho National Gazette. 1t will surprise no one
that the man, who, while only General, made
war upon Spain, should, President of tho United
States make war upon Naples, upon his own mere
will and pleasure:
Washington correspondent Of tho New York
''In sending out Mr.. Nelson to Naples, tho Pre-
sident gave HIM very peromPtory instructions on
inc question at issue between tho governments; and
II the Ncapolitan government has not acted hon.
orasy, quickly, and decidedly in the demand, be
assured tho American flag in no good humour will
soon float in the bay of Naples, to some essentia
purpose. Tho navy, now under the able manage
ment OF Secretary Woodbury., never in u high
or state OF efficiency & order; &, have no doubt
thousands would like tho chance of brush with
the Neapolitans."
Comment Of the National Gaxetfe.
III seems TO he forgotten that the prerogative of
War is given to Congress, in the Constitution, and
not to the President. We not aware of any
act OF Congress empowering the President to wage
war upon Naples, however just expedient that
procedure might be us alternative. There is a
new kind of consolidation much to be apprehendod
we mean the concentration of oil real power
in the e1ecutn C branch Of the general government
Ii is an infringement of the rights of the states
and the ghts of the nation, who are Jointly and
severally entitled to the constitution cordnc to
its text, with that distribution of faculties which
forms one Of its essential merits and Distinguishing
features. The attributes of the executive depart.
mont have been alarmingly multiplied:-under the
new theory and practice, tho President may e1.
pound in the last resort, both the eonsituto and
the laws; he may nullify acts of Congress and de.
cisions OF the Supreme Court; he may make ap-
pontments without the advice and consent of the
Senate; he may virtually give office to men whom
tho Senate havs rejected; he may lombard foreign
capital, of his own motion; no may exercise the
refo or disnpProval-which the trainers of the con.
stution intended for extreme constitutional cases
ON any OCCASION and with view to party con.
trovcrsics and objects. All this amounts to a com
plete supremacy; it is equivalent to an absolute
final control over the legislative and judicial bran.
