Yesterday afternoon bctwoen five & six o'clock
ms Hiss Margarctta Potter, daughter Of the late
VIM w. Potter, was returning with another you 9
lady, from the church OF the Rev. Mr. Chambers
she was seized with ii sensation OF faIntncss, nnd
remarked 10 her friend that she felt extremely ILL.,
Tn oun. lady addressed turned towards her com
f.lnon, nnd found her IN tears. She became mo-
mrnlauy worse and on reaching 'he corner Of
tAesau, and Tenth streets, was u.s.. stcd into II
drug store, hord by. Here a physician Of the neigh
horhood was sent for, who ordered her 10 be taken
lntua,!y hame, us hes house was nigh a, hand.
She was placed in the physiclan's carriage in a
state Of complete exhaustion, but able to compr"-
bend objects IN the street. In passing along, she
observed her mother who had been sent for, hurry
ing to the shop whence she had just been removed
She called 10 Mrs Potter, il feeble voice, and
this recognition was the last OF her life. She was
conveyed home, aud except the repetition of her
mother name, she nover spoke asain- In ten
minutes, she WAS a tieess coIpse.
This mysterious disponSaiion Of providence has
removed an amable beautiful and accompl shed
young lady, from circle OF almost adorIhS iicrds.
A most alectjny incident was connected with her
dissolution A young gentleman, friend of the
family, had engaged 10 accompany her To church
in the evening He called al the appointed hour,
and on inauiring if she was ready, was answered
" sic is dead - He could not believe it and on
entering the room where she lay as if III sleep in
her morning dress, he burst into peroXysrn OF
tears and, with nany others, " refused To be com
furted"

Which, added to the millions for the public lands
makes IL l2 millions for the annual amount of the
revenue of the u. s. This will no doubt be great
sum, than what will be wanting for the necessa-
ry expences of the government If this projet then
be adopted, what will become the duty of the
friends of the Republican party? l. To Keep docn
the expenditures Of the gOyernment-to prevent all
wild projects for spending the money of the People,
extending the powers of the government and en-
croachng upon the principles of the Constitution.
We must resist such an abominable and expensive
pension system as they have before Congress
all expenditures for Internal Improvement, land
this unconstitutional system too they attempting
TO extend by bill now before the House of Repre-
sentatives,) &c. &c. This must become one of the
ralying points to the friends of State Rights and
to the true principles of the Constitution.
In fact, there should not he raised a surplus dollar
for the Treasury. The I'd raying point is TO cut
down the per cenage the protected articles as
fast as possble-and certainly if there be any pros
pcct OF n surplus Tcyenue--to take off that surplus
from the protected articles. These two ought to be
the rallying maxlms of all the friends Of the COus-
tuition, lei the Tariff be now modified to wlatsoe yer
form it may be.
We understand, that some of the members of
Congress arc anxious TO give the whole question
the gO-by for the present session. And it is even
whispered, that this sentiment has come from a
member of the Committee Of Manufactures. We
will not enlarge upon the nscheyous consequences
of this representation. We will not sketch the
sombrc prospect which it presenss TO the inIagina-
ton Passing over all these we ask at once, whc-
tler these procrastinators prepared to continue
under the dynasty Of the tariff of '25-and to raise
from the pockets of the people S10976007, more
under the present tariff than under the pr0et
Of Mr.. McLane-and ID, TO throw such surplus
into the Treasury surplus, not only unnecessary
but calculated TO corrupt the politics of the people
and to perver the principles Of the Constitution?
These procrastinators have political object to ac-
complish, more mischeyous in itsofthan this ltnne-
cessary raising, and then this wanton wasting Of the
money. They must be defeaed-and they proba-
bly, will be. We have a letter from Washington, oil
