FOR THE MADISoNIAN

The present is deemed peculiar epoch in our an
President is without party, and the parties without
President. There is party doubt opposed to
the present Administration composed of the band,
whose sympathes enlisted in the cause of car
rying all the projects conceived by the ambition of
their acknowledged leader His Iecklessness led him
too arand in the execution of his grand master pro-
ject, ritaed beyond placability that he could not
succeed in putting into operation The primum mobile of
all the machinery his genius had invented to effect
the great object of his elevation, he has pio-
claimed himself the foe till DEATH of the man whose
conscientious ffmness thwafted hs schemes From
his sworn adherens, through veal or woe whose
faith is pinned to his sleeve and whose modicum OF
fame or power must depend on his success, ex-
pect nothing else, than that they should echo his
tmens and reflect his enmities Passive tools Of his
ambition, such is their vocation These men form a
party opposed to the present Chief Magistrate and
il they without President de facto or in posse
they boast who has long filled the station in
desire. They cannot complimentary constitute
party in the narrowest of the term; they are
the blind followers of one mantle determined abet-
tiers Of all his measures.
lhat tne parties are without n PRESIDENT Is but
anomaly that the President should be without par
ty, is no disgrace. lfby party, is meant a combna-
ton of men, determined to support him in all his
principles, views and measures--because they are
his, then he has no party, and l. for one
trust he never will have party. Others, how
ever, go by the oracular authority Of Burke, who
declares that in free country every man must be-
long to party. For any to acknowledge that he
belongs to no party is disgracefu and the disgrace
tenfold increased when it is said that the Chief Ma
gistratc of nation cannot boast the adherence of
party. Giving TO Burkes authority all the respect
due to it, acknowledging the truth of his doctrines to
be in this instance indsputablc but at the same time
understanding the term party he defines it, the
consequence must be that the President must have
party to support him in all his important measures
even if now there be not body of men in either
House of Congress, who nominally pledged to his
Administration OF this result there can be no doubt
and Judging of the future by the past for one am
prepared to support the measures of his Admnstra-
ton. lie must wander wide of the track he has hi
herto steadily pursued before shall oppose his acts
in the Presidency merely because he did not receive
my vote for the office.
Unwilling TO occupy too much space al one time in
your columns | here abruptly close, with the pur-
pose of continuing my remarks this subject Of par
y in another communication.

INDEMNITY TO MERCHANTS.

Rv adyices received from abroad, we learn
that the project of law providing for indemnity
10 Belgian and foreign merchants for the destruc-
lion Of goods at Antwerp which passed the Bel
5lan Chamber of Deputies some time since, has
passed the Senate, andreceived the appreciation
OF the King.
The amount appropriated for the payment of
these losses, is eight millions of francs.
The law also provides for the appointment of
A board of commissioners to adjudicate upon
all claims.
We also learn that some difficulties are likely
10 arise between Holland and Belgium on the
one side, and the Kingdom of Naples on the
other. on account Of some clai rs by the citizens
Of Holland and Belgium upon the Neapotan
Government which have been denied, and that
some apprehension is felt lest the former Gov
ernments should authorize reprisals by their cit
Nens on the Neapolitan commerce.

we do solemnly asseverate that we were
not aware that such a man was in Con

it had escaped our memory, and when we saw

| In relation TO our "war article" about which
so much has been said, we have only to request
the constituents of these brdre Representatives
to remember it, and think about it., now aht
hereafter. We ask them TO think Of our relations
with Great Britain, and lhe unworthy conduct
Of their public servants. Whether we have
war not, there is nothing to justify such con
duct, and they must answer 1t at the bar Of
public opinion. But if there should be war

reap the execfatons Of the ,ohoie country, and

Calhoun, in our paper to-day. We hope, however
that Mr.. Tyler will veto any tariff bill that gives

wiH. (if the People desire it) afford a currency
OF uniform value. The Exchequer once esta-
blished, It's bills, always redeemablc III gold and
silver, would find their way into every section OF
the Union, and the distant customers of the
Eastern merchant would always be able to make
remlttances in funds at par in every nook and
corner Of the United States. The Exchequer
bills would also be received at the most distant
points Of trade in Europe. Only let the system
OF finance recommended by the President be
adopted by the Representatives of the People

But the Tariff. Why should the Eastern
merchant, mechanic, or farmer, desire a high
protective Tariff The merchant could gain
nothing by il. The process of mercantile pur-
suits is to buy and SELL Whether the merchant
purchases low or high he must sell at a profit
The immediate question 10 be considered by
him Is whether the profits on high invoices and
limited sales, will exceed those of lower prices
and an attendant increase of customers. With
the mechanic the question IS, whether he would
prefer fair competition in the products Of la
Dor or be subjected to an increased tax of 30,
40, or so per cent for every article purchased
for clothing, or for the suslenance and comfort
of his family at the table. That articles of
luxury fine cloths, silks, &c, &c, INDUCED in
by the rich, should be taxed for purposes Of re-
venue, NJ one will deny With the farmer,
there can be no question at all about it. His
hocks and herds multiply in the pastures which
God makes luxuriant. The gentle dews of even
ing and the warm sun of mid day, he can al
ways rely upon, without being made afraid bv
scheming demagogues. Abundant crops re-
ward the labor of his hands and the sweat of
his brow. His cattle and grain are readily sold
to the merchant and mechanic, at fair profit,
and he then supplies his family with such com
forts and necessaries as may be desired, from
the city, at as lo,o prices as possible. The
balance Of his money he invests in land, for the
use Of his children and grandchildren. Then
why should he desire Bank or a high Tariff
He does not desire either. The next elections
will prove it,

The Trouble in Morocco The Courier .es Etats Unis
has received from its Paris correspondents more full
account of the trouble between ex-consu at Tan
gier, Mr.. Carr and the Emperor than we have been
able TO find elsewhere. We therefore furnish
transation.-.N. Y Com. .4dp
"The consul Of the United States had been re-
called by his Government which gave him liberty,
however, to leave his post Immediately or await the
arrival of his successor. Mr.. Carr chose the for
mer, and publicly set about making preparations to
that end. The day arrived, and Just as he was go
ing on board, the deputy Governor sent word to him,
by the captain of the port that he must not leave the
place without an order from the Emperor. Remon-
strances were useless Mr. Carr was required to wait
the return of courier from Morocco, bringing the
permission 1t arrived in due season; and Mr.. Carr
was preparing to embark on board steamboat for
Gibraltar, when he was again stopped by order oil
the deputy Governor His colleagues, who had ac-
companied him TO the vessel joined him in protesta-
tons against this proceeding, insisting the efficacy
OF the permit granted by the Emperor, but all TO
purpose. The deputy Governor declared that Mr.
Carr would not be suffered to depart without an au-
thorzation from the Governor,
MIR. Carr attemp ed to go on board, when SOL
der OF the guard seized m with violence Mr. Carr
prepared to defend himself with sword-cane, but
the other corsuls nerfered and advised him to resist
no father; the violence committed upon him was
sufficiently marked ana positive.
The consuls then held deliberaton upon this
ndigny offered to them all in the person Of their
colleague and it resolved that the consul of the
United States should lay the matter before the En-
peror demanding satisfaction for the insult by the
displacement Of the deputy Governor and the punish
ment OF the soldier who had laid hands upon the re-
preventative of the United States.
The reply of the Emperor was very far indeed
from satisfactory. He approved of what had been
done saying, My servants have performed their
duty, for you know that consul must leave my do
mnions without order from me. This order |
had forgotten to give, but now give it to you, and
you may go, taking with you the good and the evil
that you have received
Looking upon the reply as an aggravaon of the
wrong done him, Mr. Carr Immediately addressed a
circular to the other consuls, giving them nforma-
ton of its tenor announcing that he should strike his
flag, hoist 1t again until full reparation should be
made for the insult offered to his government The
flag was thereupon struck, and on the 18th Mr.. Carr
embarked, without opposition. He was accompanied
10 the vessel by all the other consus, who thought
proper thus to signify their strong dsapprobation OF
the measures that had been adopted toward their coll
league
The Paris papers say that the United States squad
ron in the Mediterranean had sailed for Morocco to
take the necessary measures in reference TO this af
far
