resist the measure, and the South would co-ope-
rate in an opposition, which would agaln, as Mr..
Clay said IN '33, bring the whole system into
Imminent danger"
The most enlightened members Of Congress
are already sounding the cons quences of this
excess in the ears of the Tariff members. In
the debate Yesterday" says the Washington
correspondent of the New York Journal of Com
merce, "Mr Roosevelt, Mr.. Rhett, and others,
took an opportunity TO impress upon the majority
OF the House who profess 10 wish permanent
and stable system of revenue for the security OF
the manufacturing interest, that they were ac-
ing with great lmprudence in forcing upon the
country system OF revenue and protection,
which would be repudlated and abandoned the
moment that the Democratic party obtains the
majority in Congress. The same warning has
been given by MIR. Hunter, Mr. Clifford, and
others. The real friends of the manufacturing
interest had better heed it in time. But there
is no chance that this bill will ever become a
law. After il shall be vetoed on account of the
distribution clause, il is dead. The idea that,
without the distribution clause, it will be resus-
citaled and passed by the aid of Democratic
votes is Imaginary The Democratic members,
aStar as lean learn, are opposed TO the btH
M ats present form, Independently OF The DIS
fribution feature The only chance for re
uenue lap ut this session is by union Of De
mocrdtic and Uhig members on some more
moderate scheme Of duties"
We respectfully urge this suggestion upon
them Let them be wl,e-and let their duties
be moderate-and then something may be done
Tor the good of the natlon-somethlng for the
supply of sufficient revenue-somelhlng per-
manent, without being too stimulating fer the
manufacturers tn emselves

The third section of the bill provides that after
the 30th of Sept mber there shall be imposed upon
all newspapers Of greater size than 1907 square inch
es an additional postage of cent for every square
inches over and above the said number Of inches.
The ninth prohibits the conveyance of any letters
which should or ought to be transmitted by mail,
from being conveyed or transported by any stage
coach, railroad car, steamboat, other veh-
Gle. The tenth exhibits the establishment Of
private expenses, as they exist and the
eleventh and twelfth provide that no foreign ship
steamship, or vessel of any kind or description what
ever, sailing or navigating from port or place in
the United States shall convey any letter or letters
whatever, except only such letters as may relate to
some part OF the cargo of the said ship vessel ETC.

THE FIGHT GOES BRAvELY ON.

An esteemed friend writes us from Bennng-
ton, w., and encloses the Estate Banner" a
'by authority" sheet (printer of the u. s. laws)
containing the abusive proceedings of Clay
meeting. The People must soon become dis
gusted at such epirhets as we here find h, aped
upon The President The meeting was attend
ed by number of the rabid postmasters OF
Bennington county, who participated most
heartily in the abuse-indeed none were absent
but the two or three Democratic office holders
who had escaped the guilloIne
We have this information from one whose
statements we do not hesitate to endorse.
We learn, moreover, that the Clay Abolition
office holders and Others of that section adverse
10 The Administration, have resolved to break
dopn the Remington Gazette, Jefiersonian
Republican paper, established before they were
born, and now nobly sustaining the Chief Ma
gstrate. This will be vain-lhe Gazette has
the most extensive circulation of any paper in
the State, and is perfectly independent in pc
cuniary point of view, as well as political.

OUR ERROR.

We copy the following remarks from the Rich
mond Enquirer, on the subject of President
Jackson's Proclamation, which was recently re-
ferred 10 in the Madisonian. We were in error.
The Madisonian does not correctly define our po-
sition" in regard to General Jackson We did not
I" desert" him in consequence of his Proclamation of
49, The Hero President had rendered too much
vice to his country, and had contributed too much to
bring back the Government ''to the Republican
tack" by his vetoes the Bank, on the Maysville
Road &C.. &c., to permit to desert his Admir- is
tration. There portions of his celebrated Pro-
clamation which we did not resh--but the MaIiso-
man does not correctly represent the history of those
times, when it says, The immense personal popula-
rity of General Jackson caused the timid to stand
STILL for fear of being read out of the Democratic
Church, and shope, for moment seemed to bid
farewell to the of correct principles, until
the meaning Of the Proclamation at last explain
ed away by Mr. Ritchie SO as to mean any thing or
nothing" 1t was not the Enquirer which made the
explanation We called for it, it is true--but it
the Globe which favored US with that luminous, and
authoritative, and satisfactory exposition, which
moved so many doubts. This exposition
authorized by General Jackson the 9th of March,
1897, in the last interview which we had with him,
to announce as his, as much if it had been signed
by the name Of Andrew Jackson" There are
other portions of the history of the Proclamation
which are yet to be told and among others, hope
yet to submitted to the world the rough original
draft of the paper, drawn by the pen of the old Hero
himself-and which assured by one who has
seen it, does not contain any of the heresy which APP
peared to Turk in that eloquent Document

Therefore we congratulate the happy pair with all

Them long life, bliss, and everything good

NATIONAL CURRENCY PRESIDENTTYLER.
National Currency why, we have none you say.
Well, and what is the reason' The Wings in Con-
gress think it will compromise what they consider
fundamental principle to go for any thing short of
National Bank This at least the reason assigned why
they will not take up and pass the Exchequer bill. As
times are now this fiscal scheme must, if tried, afford
some relief 1t would at least affect and regulate the
exchanges of the country and this alone would be
important item, it, as suppose, the excess that
the merchant pays in exchange is put on the price Of
his goods. But we think it would do more, We
think it would considerably affect and regulate the
general currency. But if 1t did no more than equa
lie exchanges, this would in measure, relieve the
country from Its present embarrassing condition.
Why then does not Congress, while it has the power
minister this partial relief We fear there is some
thing behind the assigned why the Exche
quer scheme receives little favor. lnste of COM
promising any fundamental principle of the Wings,
we very much fear many OF the Wings IN Congress
are afraid of compromising the interests of Henry
Clay. We have no desire to judge harshly; neither
have any desire to bring false accusation against
any of the Wings in Congress By their fruits do we
Judge them Six months have elapsed and all IS
barrenness far as the settlement OF any important
national question is concerned. They have certainly
known ali along that President Tyler, with his pre-
sent scrupIes cannot conscientiousy, in his es
nation sign such Bank bill as the Wings think the
eXgencies of the country require. very well must
the country remain without any national currency
something better merely through the fear of jeopar-
dizng the political prospects of one man, however
great that man may be acknowledged TO be' If this
be the principle of acton--f this be the test
if this be the issue--then must we oppose this
dangerous one-man influence. Not that we love the
Wing party less but that we love country and its
true interests more Patriotism forbids our taking
any other course As much as we have admired the
better traits in Mr.. Cays charactcr-as much as we
love the true principles of the political creed OF the
Wing party, we would utter our humble protest
against this destructive Wing doctrine of doing
"evil that good may come" The glory OF one man
cannot be weighed IN the same balance with the suf-
ferngs of a whole nation. The people are overbur-
dened and ground the earth IN consequence OF the
arrangement Of the currency They cry Tor relief OF
some KIND. If they cannot get what they may cons-
der the greater, give them the less Let Congress
then try the Exchequer scheme, and if it works well
and answers the purpose, let President Tyltr have
the praseif otherwise, let him endure the censurc
