AN INQUIRY.

Is the MIR. Tate, who signed the very modest
and republican request to the President, to re-
move Messrs Lendrum and Dusenbsrry, for
buving provisions of Wings, the Mr.. Tate, who
is one Of the officers Of the Baltimore Custom
house?
If he be one and the person, should
think that the government might dispense with
his services, as it must be very obvious that if
his duties at the custom house gave employment
to his time, he would not have leisure to belong
to Jacobin. associations, whose only aim and OBJ
iect seem to be, to disfranchise American eiti-
xcns, aud deny them the enjoyment of those pri-
vileges vouchsafed by the constitution.
The indelicacy of a custom house officer play
ing the part Of prosecuting partizan, must be
obvious to all; and calls to recollection the add
mirable letter of President Jefferson, which
taught these gentry another lesson, and more APP
propriate duty.
Nine-tenths of the duties paid into the custom
house of Baltimore, are paid by Wing merchants,
and yet this bigoted servant Of the public, would
deprive them Of the common privileges of Anne
rican citizens. QUERIST.

THE LATE COURTS OF INQUIRY

As the causes upon which Major Lendrum,
and Cant. Dusenberry have been subjected to the
yexatious proceedings of Courts of Inquiry into
their official conduct, strike at the privilege and
business of every citizen, and as the precedents
which these Inquiries establish, are of the most
pernicious tendency, l would suggest the pro-
priety of some member of Congress, calling upon
the Executive to lay them officially before tha'
body, in orde. that they may be widely circu-
lated among the people. am sure that there
is still virtue enough left in this nation to visit this
nefarious attempt upon the liberty of the people
with contempt and Is it not enough that the
intolerant spirit of malevolent party, should
| exclude from office every man, who differs with
the government but men in business, me-
chanics, and laborers, must be debarred the
poor privilege of selling to government, or en-
loving the advantage of its employment Were

Wings are thus to be excluded from any of the
benefits and blessings of government, which
they largely and freely contribute to support,
the day may not be far distant when "calcula-
tions" of the value of the Union may be made
without provoking the imputation OF a want OF
patriotism.
Does Mr.. Van Buren, suppose, that Sc large
and respectable portion of the American Peo-
pie, as are the Wings, will tamely submit to a
repetition of such indignities Does he suppose
that they will quietly sit with folded arms, and
see their liberties thus mercilessly cloven down
by petty tyranta Does he presume that they
will prove plant submissives, while the hateful

THE BUCKEYE BLACKSMITH

last night spoke to a nlired multitude, soyering
almost the entire space on Monument Square,
and was equa. to the highest expectation OF the
public. He made two speeches in Philadelphia
yesterday, left there at oclk., and reached this
city this morning at 8. He slept few hours, and
having concluded his speech at half past nine,
started in private carriage for his native town,
and will deliver two speeches in Frederick to-
morrow. He is TO be at Ellicotts mills, on Sat
urday, and has promised to spend a week with
the mechanics of Baltimore. We saw him yes
terday meet several of his acquaintanccs in
early life, and among the rest, MIR. Hagan, of
Frederick county, with whom he lived several
years, when boy. Mr.. Hagan is Van Buren,
man, yet he confirms all the statements relative
to Mr.. Baer's identity and early history; says
that he was poor boy, but that up to the time
of his migration to the west, no one could inn
peach his character. A few moments afterwards
! we were introduced by Mr.. Bear, to one of the
|, most wealthy citizens of Ohio, who is his near
J neighbor, who afirms his good character as an
! honest snd industrious blacksmith. This man
has left his wife and children at home, and has
made an average of at least one speech day,
since the 22d of February.
Mr. Bear resides in Circleville, Ohio; he was
one Of the original jackson men, but was one OF
thirty-four who resolved themselves into an as
ISOLATION to promote the election of General Har-
rison. In this society he made speeches, and he,
shoemaker, and carpenter, resolved to de-
vote themselves to the cause until the Presden-
tial election. He sold his tools to bear his ex-
penses, and left his wife and children to support
themselves, while he labors for his country. He
is doing great good His speech last night was
a practical illustration OF mal-administraiion of
the party in power, and eminently suited to con-
vince the calm and thinking of all classes,
and especially the working classes.
He has consented to act as the agent to obtain
subscribers for the Pilot, and we hope that his
commissions, as we allow him twenty-five per
cent on all subscriptions obtained, will do some
thing more than pay his travelling expenses.

endeavoring to impose upon Gen. Harrison, by
writing him letter, which the General did not
notice, but which was answered b. a Cincinnati
Committee, has been appointed Register of the
Land Office, at Kaskaska, Illinois
Comn,ent.-The unblushing impotence with
which Mr.. Van Buren, goes INTO the market, and
purchases and pays for the most proaigate parti-
sans, IS of the most alarming features OF
these degenerate times. Here is Miles Hotch-
kiss, citizen of New York, rewarded--for what ,
Why has he been sent into IlIinoiss Was there no
one IN that State suited for this Office, that Mr..
Hotchkiss has been sent there?
The purpose is to give prominence to Mr.
Hotchkiss, and to prove that MIR. Van Buren, will
reward every man who rcnders him service.
If we know the people, this will set feeling
in motion, that will more than counteract this
abuse Of the appointing power. MIR. Hotchkiss
and all who get Office BY such means, win have
the privilege Of being dismissed with MIR. Van

l622--in which 20 chow, that his course in rsia-
ton to the adnission of Missouri, had been con-
trolled by belief, that Congress had no right to
interfere with the question, to abolish slavery,
and that in taking side with the South, he had
been governed by sacred regard for the consti-
tuition, and not by wish to extend the principle
Of slavery; he said that he had been in early life
member of an abolition society.
Every intelligent mind can the distinction.
If Gen. Harrison, had advocated the introduction
OF slaves into Indiana, from which they were ex-
cluded by tho organic law of the territory, it
would have made him more obnoxious to the
abolitionists, than if he had as he did, acted ON
that question, from desire to extend slavery
itself but under solemn belief that the right to
hold slaves had been secured by the Constitution,
and that Congress had no right to interfere or
abrogate the privileges given by the Constitu-
ton.
But the Globe denounces his having written
to Mr.. Calhoun, and alleges that it was
departure from the course which, upon the re-
commendation of his friends he had adopted-that
is, t. make no new issues before the country
and to send the election to the people on their
knowledge of his past life and public service.
Now, far from departure from the course
suggested, his letter to Mr.. Calhoun is case in
point. He does not come out with new decla-
ration of opinions to suit one section, which is
to be kept secret from the other, but he has done
precisely what the Cincinnati committee have
done; he refers Mr.. Calhoun to the same docu-
- he bax H.
pie of North Carolina, and ON which his south
ern friends rely for the protection of their pro-
perty.
He is not such an abolitionist as Mr.. Van Blu
rem, who believes that Congress have the power
to abolish slavery in the District, but that it is
inexpedient to do it now. He is not such an
abolitionist as Mr.. Van Buren,, who exerted him
self to get Mr.. King elected to the Senate, and
voted to instruct him to vote against the admis-
sion of Missouri; but he refers to his letter to
his constituents, who were abolitionists, to show
that upon this subject his opinions have been al
ready expressed. That it is not true that he en-
deavored to introduce slavery into Indiana, where
it was inhibited by the organic law, although
he did vote for its admission into Missouri, where
it was sanctioned by the law, and the treaty of
cession, which became guarantee under the
constitution. These views, which are alike sat
isfactory to the honest men of both sections,
openly proclaimed by his friends and himself
his letter is referred to in reply to all enquiries
coming from every quarter; it is published by
his friends; in this paper; in the Text Book; in
all the papers of the south friendly to his elee-
ton; and yet Kendall, in his Extra Globe, at
tempts to make political capital out of his letter
to Mr.. Calhoun, referring him to that letter,
giving his published opinion. Such are the mis-
cradle articles by which Mr. Kendall is to sus-
tain the sinking cause of this corrupt admins
tration.
