KEEP 1T BEFORE THE PEOPLE.

That during the recent discussion OF the
Tariff Bill, in the House of Representatives,
the Loco Foco members have in cccry
instance voted wiH the free hadeHcS,
and AGAINST PROTECTION, and
REM MBER AND KEEP IT BEFORE
THE PEOPLE that when the question as
to duty ON wool came up for consideration,
the Loco Focos in every instance voted for
30 per cent duty, as the highca on both
wool aud woolens, while the Wings, the
advocates Of projections, in crory instance
voted for duty Of 81 PER CENT, as the Ior-
est on wool and woolens.
These are FACTS, lroemen, and don't you
see from this that the apparent zeal of the
Loco Foco press for protection on wOot is
mere m0onshiHe, got up at this eleventh
hour, merely to guV you and to catch yow

Under this head the National Intelligent
Ger OIL rIday corrccts certain rumors, which,
1t says are calculated to mslead the public
mind. We copy all that is material to the
lntolligencer's statement:
Lord Ashburton is believed to have hold ont
long for the entire Madawasks seftIenant Bu.
the Maine commissioners are said TO have been
minoyeabe as any four pine stumps on the dis
putod territory. So Maine, under the arrange.
nont, goes 10 the river ST. Johns. 1t is not Tn-
likely, we learn, that the line which the Dutch
arbtor decided for, tho line of the st. Johns and
the IT. Francis, viii be agreed 10. But then
Maine gets what the Dutch king did not give
her, the navigation Of the river; and this tre
bles the value Of all her pine trees. West
wardly Of the st. Francis, England takes a tract
Of mountain land, numbered, and of no earthly
value but as a boundary and she relnquishes
TO the United States Rouse's Point, the key of
lake ChampIain, and large territory hereto
fore supposed to belong to New York and Ver-
mont, but which turns out to lie north of the
4)lh degree Of latitude, aud is therefore part
oil Canada. 1t is said to be, and probably is, in
consequence OF this cession, that the nted
States government agrees to pay a small sum
to each Of the States Of Maine and Massachu-
sets for the acres they have parted with ; not
more than d quarter as much. however, as Cen

Of negotiation, nothing is known. Every body

say it is expected that every thing will come out

WHAT DOES 1T MEAN?

How comes it that the same party which
loads down its organs in this state every
week with wo0l arguments, and tariff lucu-
brations, in the hope of cheating the plain,
sensible sons of the mountains out of their
principles, and their votes, finds it necessa-
ry in Congress, where alone effective action
upon the question can be had, to VOTE IN
ONE UNBROkEN PHALANX, not only
AGAINST TIE TARIFF BILL IT
SELF, but AG AINST EVERY AMEND
MENT having for its object to RAISE
THE DUTIES, and particularly that of
WOOL, about which they preach so much
lnmbug! Yet this is all true. The amend
mGnls proposed by Mr.. Everett Of this State,
to RAISE THE DUTY ON WOOL, was
OPPOSED, with scarce an exception, by
the whole clan Of Locolocoism. People of

THE LAND BILL AND 4 TARIFF

THE LAND BILL AND 4 TARIFF.
Much is said in the Loco Foco papers
against what they term the ob,linacy Of the
Wings IN Congress in insisting upon retain
ing the clause in the Tariff Bill relating to
the Land Distribution, and some Of our
Wing friends arc disposed to wish that the
point might be yielded lest it should prevent
the obtaining of Protective Tariff.
1t is possible the Obstinacy of MIR. Tyler
will drive the Wings to yield this point, but
the friends of the protective system ought 10
understand that if this point is yielded, it will
at 10 distant day be the occasion Of again
unsculing the whole lystem of Protection,
4 protective tariff cannot fail to restore the
country to state of prosperity. The pro-
cess will be slow but sure. And when BUSH
ness operations shall revive, and a healthy
and prosperous condition be restored to the
country, the public lands will again come
into market. The proceeds Of those sales
going into tho L. S. Treasury, will, with the
receipts from the customs, very soon create
a surplus beyond the wants of Government.
This will be the signal for an attack upon the
Tariff, and as the surplus shall accumulate,
the argument for destroying the system of
protection will be strengthened until another
compromise act shall bleed the system and
produce its lingering death, or it must fall by
holder stroke of Southern policy, bringing
revolution and ruin again upon the country.
What we need is a settled policy-such a
system of political economy as will enable
capitalists to make investments with a rca-
sonabe prospect of pcrmanency. Then may
we expect state of things winch will give
employment to our mechanics and arl1anS,
and insure good markets for our agricultural
products, But if four Wing members in Con-
gross are Obliged to give up the Distribution
Act through the obs,inacy Of President Ty-
Ter and the clamors of Loco Focos, in order
TO obtain a tariff, it is obvious to the vcriest
tyro in politics that the system, however cX-
cellent, which shall be established in relation
TO protective duties, must, before many years,
be disturbed by the accumulation ola surplus
in the Treasury.
What pity it is that the American peo-
pie will learn nothing by experience in

THE SOMERS

The reader will find in another part
Of this paper a summary account of the
tragedy which occurred on board the
U. S. brig Somers, on her return from
the coast Of Africa TO the United States.
We might have copied from our ex-
change papers copious statements in
regard to this sad affair. But, from an
examination of the Washington papers,
we discover that an investigation has
been ordered by the Navy Department;
and a report is expected, by which all
the particulars will be made known Of
ficIaIIy. Whatever may have been the
necessity OF the circumstances under
which the Captain of the Somers acted
in the premises, it seems probable that
his course was unauthorized by law; and
we think he will be extremely fortunate
if he escape with a bare dismissal from
the service.
