the announcement OF the Secretary of the Mon

and they contrast, strongly enough, with the SIM

THE TARIFF-OUR NEIGHBORS.
The Jciiersonian Of this City, in this mornings
number, says ''thc Van Buren, organ (Enauircr)
has at length como out, and openly advises tho
South to compromise the Tariff Question by Weld
ing up the principle Of protection. In other words
to give up tho Constitution to Congress To do with
it as it shall plcase"
Verify, most unfair statement of the question,
Who says that the principle of Protection is nm
CONSTITUTIONAL The Nullifycrs-thot is, about ono
18th or less, of the American People Who SAYS
it is Constitutional The first Cong ress in 1882 in

Is it not apparent that such must be the result, if
his small party insist upon having the Constitution
construed in their way, and no other? Is it not
obvious, that without compromise, the Union is
lost, and equally obvious, that the concession of
the right Of protection, must be the basis of all and
every compromise? There can be compromise
no modification, except only by conceding the
constitutionality of the Tariff A settlement of
the question on any other basis would be no com.

would be found so extremely complying and good
natured, as TO surrender their opinions convictions,

expectation
Those who insist that the Tariff shall not be,

LEWIS ALLEDGED INTENDED FRAUD

Some time ago, we pronounced Maj Lewis vim
dcation of himself against the allegation of de-
signed fraud in getting possession of certain Indian
Lands, satisfactoryto our minds. Perhaps we look
ed too much to the fact, that Lewis had no present
interest in the Lands which he had leased, and too
little to the quo amino with which he had engaged
in the speculation. 30 this as it may-the charge
was referred to the Committee on Public Lands.
which contains, we believe, majority of Jackson
men, and of which Mr.. Wicklffe is Chairman for
Investigations that Committee have infinitely ex-
amined into the circumstances, and Mr. Wickliffe,
few days ago, made Report in which all the
members of the Committee appear to have acques-
ccd and which is understood to establish the charge
We shall speedily lay this Report before the reader,
that he may form his own conclusions; meanwhile
we append the commentary Of the United States

"I'HE FRAUD ESTABLISHED,

report of the Committee Public Lands relative
to the fraud contemplated by VIM. B. Lewis under
the auspices of Major Eaton and Gen. Coffee. 1t
will be recollected our statement relative to this

II now appears that Major Lewis, used the in
huence which his intimacy with Gen. Jackson,
of the commissioners, gave him, to obtain lease of
the Indians, for 1919 years, of tract of 10000
acres OF land, supposed TO contain valuable salt

public; that, when that subject came before tho
