A PREDICTION.

We shall not be surprised, (should this Clay
Congress adjourn without passing some constl-
tutional and honest revenue law, ifa mighty Ell
fort were made to abolish the Tariff sys-
tenn altogether. The ''iron rule" majority al
present sitting in the Capitol, are making more
Free Trade converts each day, than have here
tofore embraced that doctrine each ten years.
The People are becoming weary of the turmoil,
and Disguised with the trickery practised under
the present system, by the gambling politicians.
They are anxious that the cry of staxing the
poor for the benefit Of the rich," should be put
to rest forever. And the danger of nullifica-
ton, secession, and disunion, in future, may
likewise influence them.
If such should be the case-if the present
Wing majority should defeat the wishes OF
their constituents, merely to crafty their pro-
pensty to Willy the Presdent-THEN LET THIS
PREDICTION BE REMEMBERED!

WHAT WILL CONGRESS DO?

This question is now in all minds and on many
tongues. The great measure of the session having
been vetoed by the President and there being no
hope of two-thrd VOTE two courses only seem open
to Congress-either to djourn or take up the Tariff
by ITSELF and give at revenue to the Govern
ment favorable impulse to the public credit and such
incidental protection to domestic industry as will hold
out the people prospect Of it's permanecy In this
they have the Presidents promise of corporation
They had it long since and frequently, and ne has
repeated it more than once in his last message Then
why not hold him to it Z Lay before him such bill
with any thing not relevant to that sub
ect oflegslaton, and then if he violate his solemn
promise repeatedly given it will be unnecessary for
them to spend any more time in trying to head him
me will have ''headed himself 1t has been repeat
eddy affirmed that the great and leading domestic in
elests are suffering for the want of such law, and
it is well known that the Treasury and the credit of
the nation are the empty and the other dropping
from the same cause; what, then, is there in any
party that its advancement should be held superior to
the relief of these Let the Tariff question then be
settled, let it remain no longer open to plague and
agitate the country with political excitemens growing
out of it, 1t has been hobby long enough, too long
for the business interests and political and social peace
of the country, and it is to he desired that it be killed
off by settlement. Will Congress do t2 We do
not know; but we think there in both parties a
sufficient number CT moderate and patriotic members
by whose union the whole question could be disposed
of as quickly the necessary forms ofegislaton would
permit and we have reason to hope they will I'M
dertake that business

Brunswick COUNTY, North Carolina.
Our elections have just terminated Doctor Fred
erick j. HILL who has been the 'cock Of the ioalk IN
old Brunswick for many ayear past and who recently
presumed upon his great popularity to impeach the
veracity of our worthy President yet fresh in the
recollection of all of u.s. has been condemned by the
honest of all parties throughout the cod North
State, and most sgnally rebuked by the freemen OF
his county, which he has long represented in the
State Legislature. In the recent contest, he has
been beaten fifty votes by the competitor which he
beat more than ninety in the previous election =
making change of more than one hundred and forty
votes
The result Of the election in North Carolina will
present very different appearance from what 1t
did in 184O The Bank Wings will find vast diff
ference between I" Tip and Ty," and Clay and Bank

The Baltimore American, usually dignihed
and decent in its heresies, has fallen into the
style and mode of reasoning adopted by the
reckless and insane federal sheets since the
"fourth Veto" 1t denounces the President for
vetong "repenue BILL" when it knows it
must know, for it has been sufficiently promul-
gated, that the restrictive duties levied on the
most important articles in the bill just vetoed,
would have brought down the revenue to
$12,OOO,OOO Better, far better, continue the
existing regulations, than to adopt such pro-
hibitory tariff as would force resort to direct
taxation, as soon as the new Congress comes
in

THE VETO.

The wire-pullers, and the automatom chess
player, have, undesignedly no doubt, compli-
mented the President in a manner which can
not but be gratifying to him. The fact that the
merits or dement's of the Veto Message were
not permitted TO be debated, is sufficient to con-
vince any reasonable man that the Presidents
enemies considered his arguments unGnsDerG-
bic. They would not have stifed debate, if the
document had been assailable.

months since there was scarcely Democratic news
paper in the whole American Union, friendly to the
Administration of John Tyler. Now they are scat
tered in every direction, amos as hick as the leaves

Democratic party has always contendet for PRINCE,
PIES rather MEN and it is thus that the honest and
unbiased presses are willing to Judge the President
by his act, and TO yield him their confidence and sup
port, when they find the Government administered
with energy, and upon sound and manly principles -
