WASHINGTON, June 10th, 1882
The spirit of revolution is abroad in the land,
and so powerful and nfatuating is it, that it threat
ems the destruction of our own free and being
nant Institutions Signs of Mania are visible. anu
the remark that, whomsoever Cod wills to de
stroy he makes mad" is fully verified. No one
10 his sober sense, will or can, read the speeches
delivered here by the Southern gentlemen, with.
out surprise aud establishment. The dissolution
of the Union is talked off, not as a thing that ma
possibly happen, but as an event that will tax
place, and that is to be desired. The oppression
of the South, is compared to what Greece has Ell
dured in her Turkish bondage, and Poland un-
der the iron sceptre of Russia. Southern gentle
men say they shall appeal, in common with the
Greeks and the Polanders, to the sympa'hies OF
those who are in favo. of free government through
out the world; and with the belief that their ap-
neal will not be made i'm vain. The separation
of the states is threatened on all occasions, and
has become the principal topic OF conversation Ill
the private circle, as well as the subject OF dis
cussion in the Hall of Legislation. The case of
complaint is the Tariff, and it is demanded thai
the duties shall not be reduced, but the principle
Of protection must be abandoned, and nothing
sho, of that will answer 1t is said they contend
for principle, and that the amount of duty no
more fotms the ground Of their grievances and
complaints. than did the amount of the duty OIL
tea with our ancestors. 1t is the principle, and
for this they will contend on the ninth part o!

complaints of oppression, and the threats OF Sc

the House Of Representatives, had been made
during the continuance of the embargo aud non.

told me he was in the gallery. when gentleman

and the loss of other property, by the restrictive
measures of the government; and having Sc

MFR. Smile, of Penn. first caught the eye OF

him in loud and firm voice. Great excitement
was Sroduced throughout the whole house, an"
the INDIGNATION of the administration party ln-

rose and requested Mr. Smile to withdraw his
