FEDERALISM ~UN-CABINED.
printed.

The farce is over-the humbuGTery is fin,
ishcd-tie gourds. the coon skins, the log
cabins, the poor men, are all kicked To the
dogs. Federalism has accomplished its Oh

all that contributes to aid and assist him in
the support AMI advancement of his famiiv.
The discussion on the presumption bill has

TAXES AND THE TARIFF.

We shall endeavcr to show IN the future
numbers of our paper, that the present sys-
TEN of raising taxes by an odIous protective
policy called a tariff, is partial, iyrannicalIy,
oppressive and unjust; that it paisles the pro-
ducers of wealth. letters the arms OF the mas
ses, imposes a g%rievous burden upon THE
MANY for the benefit Of 4 privileged FEW; that
it prostrates the great Agricultural and Com
mercial interest of the country, merely to
fatt m Il handful Of manufacturing nabobs up,
on what has been inaptly termed "govern-
ment plunder.' Al present we have only
room to call the attention ofthe reader 10 the
following remarks from the Philadelphia
Ledger.
INDIRECT TAxArroN.--There IS nothing
about which politicians entertain so much
apprehension as taxation. 1t IS a perpetual
stumbling block in their paths. and they re.
sor, to all kinds of shifts and eXpedIents IN
avoid coming into contact with 1t. II Is, IN
n treat measure, owing to this cause that
this ommon wealth has become burdencd
with so many irresponsible moneyed InstItu-
,ions. Whenever a set of individuals have,
heretofore, wanted TO obtain a charter tor
exclusive privileges, they have proposed Il
loan or proffered a bonus to the Stale, and
the inducement thus held out has generally
been sufficient to enable them TO accomplish
their purpose; for rather than impose taxes
directly upon the people, short-slghted leg
islators have heen willing te resort TO al
most any species of bargain, and I" grant al
most any concession. II Is to this cause, al.
SO, that the passage Of the resumption bill
must be attributed. The want oi money IN
duced several oil the members Of the Leglsla
ture to desert their principles. 1t was nee,
essary to obtain funds by some means, and
the hanks were taken into favor and protec-
,ion. because, if they did not furnish iac'lI,
ties. a resort must inevitably have been had
to direct taxation, and this the more tlmld
representatives and Senators bad not the
manliness TO undertake.

marched up to its object-has toed the mark
and now openly fights the battle Of des-
~truction to tho pre-cmption till-the battle
OF insult, injury, mockery, and derision, to
those whom they professed to love untodeath,
before the election. The war o~fdestructiou
is now waged upon the bill; and our friends,
far and wide. shall see how it is carried on.
They shall see what part is acted by every
combatant, friend or foe, and they shall sec
who skulks the fight. In this point OF view, this
latter point. the conduct Of a gentleman who
has thus far kept out Of the skirmish, will de-
serve particular note; we allude to MIR. Web
ster, the former supporter of pre-emptions-
the former antagonist Of MIR. Clay-the pre-.
sent Secretary Of State, THAT is to be- and
one of the champions of General Harrison,
who was supported throughout the West as
the fast friend Of pre-emptioners. All this
We will show; and we shall be surprised if
we do not show every Harrison man in
the Senate voting for Mr.. C~rittenden's
amendment, and consequently for the des-
truciion of the pre-emption bill. Such is the
difference between promises before the cleo
ton, and performance after it-such the Fe-
deral cheatery practised upon the people
