will be palpably so when Mr.. Clay retires.-
This event wilt take place next week; and

the measures; and what are the measures
which they promote? They are Tariff, first
and above all. and then every thing that

THE ADMINISTRATION AND THE
HIGH TARIFF.

Every person must see tina. the revIva! of
the high Tariff is now the main object, and
tina; the Webster Wings and the CLAW Wings
emulate each other in their labOrs To ef, ct
the revival. Dir. Clay submits the rrso IT,
ito 10 violate the compromise and raise the
du,ies to thirty per cent. and the Webster
wings become the champions of the propo.
silion, take the whole arguments on them
selves, and deliver the most elaborate spec
ches in favor of a protective tariff that have
ever been delivered since The foundation of
the Government Now ~. Webster is
MIR. Tyler's first Minister, and while the
President has no party in Congress. Orilf a
dozen individuals excepied.) yet Sir. Wells
Ter has considerable party, viz: the major.
i,y of the New England Senators and Rep
resentatives. and few others from other
States. Now all these. are champions Of
the protective tariff. all speaking for it. and
in their elaborate speeches leaving tho Clay
wings far in the rear. Mr.. Webster is from
the part of the country which hourishes on
the high tariff, and which furnishes ,hc
SPEECHES and votes which sustain it In
this resp, ct. Mr.. Webster must be deemed
the real head of the high 'urfi party, not.

cause, visited most Of the counties in the
state, and, by his relation Of the awful con-
sequences of rum-drinking in his own case.
has every where produced great results
The following statements in relation 10
the efficacy of the pledge seem 10 be de-
serving of special notice and attention:
The pledge, trifling as i; may appear to
some, has evinced surprising power to re-
claim and save. The miserable
slaves of the bottle, idle and vicious, have
been raised TO respectable standing in So
ciety and placed in regular employment.
Their burning thirst for liquor
has, in most cases, left them on signing the
pledge, or in a short period after. so as TO
occasion them no distress or trouble.
Their mental power has in many cases
burst forth 10 the surprise Of all who knew
them. Men, who for years had been lost
to the world, and where known. known only
as stupid, scottish. imbecile drunkords, have,
in instances not few, exhibited rare pow
ers of public address, and for hours ccm-
manded the attention.of la'ge and inteili-
gent audiences, producing conviction
where all argument before had failed, ex-
citing sympathies where none before exist
3D. and producing an almost complete rev.
olution in society,"
Now, as in all this there is no magic and
no miracle, however contrary to previously
received opinions, it must be held and &C.
counted for as an exemplifcation Of the do
minion of the mind over its material at-
tendant, the body-the power Of a fixed re-
solution in curbing and controlling the mo.
tons and affections of our animal nature.
10 this point of view it is not without anal
ogies in certain cases reported in books of
medical science. The only question can
he respecting the posiiveness of the fact;
and this Mr.. Marshall of Kentucky has ties
titled to, in his own remarkable experience,
most clearly and dec;sively. An admis
sion 9th. fact in this distinctive and PROM
inent instance would, of course. make tho
admission easy in other instances, although
they were less striking.-But our UNITS
