Another Federal farce
in Congress;
Another trick to defeat Il Tariff Bill
and throw the responsibility upon
the Democratic party,

lfany thing can Gil the minds Of an honest and
lnsultcd people with complete and thorough dis
gust, the Vaccinations and manuuvcrings of the
wings in Congress since the reception Of the
last Veto will do it, Conscious that the people are
watching them with jealous cyos-conscious. too,
that their days are numbered they have rcsorcd to
species oidespcratc Intriguing and low chcancry
to throw the responsibility Of their acts upon the
minority, super emineatly contemplate, and per-
perfectly characteristic of the hypocracy and de
ccption Of hard cider.
In the first place, on the l7lh, in the House af
ter the reception of the veto and its reference Ia
committee, the wings got the House into loa
by attempting to get the vetoed Tariff bill before
the House OUT its REGULAR ORDER. This
required VOTE OF TWO THIRDS and the whigS
kncw if The democrats had poict for lint ii
could mol be carried, because there mcre n LARGE
number of wings, JOHN QUINCY ADAMS al
their head, who would NOT vote to suspend the
rules and call up the bill on, of its regular order.
But Informal as the matter was, nevertheless, dem
ocrals enough voted with the wings to have sus-
pended the rules if the wings who pretend to be IN
favor ofpassing Tariff Bill had stuck to their
text But they lodged, enough of them, to de-
feat the measure, Adams, Bolts, and the leading
wings, and now because all of the democrats did
not vote they charge them with being opposed to
Tariff and the yeas and nays of rambling
IA fall
enough 10 constitute II quorum arc scattered
through Vermont to show that the democrats are
opposed TO the passage ofa0y Tariff Bill!-ls John
Quincy Adams, is Bolts, is Fillmore the chairman
of the wing committee opposed to iariil' The
wings say no, and yet they all voted against sus-
pending the rules, for doing which portion Of the
democrats are denounced as being opposed 10 a
tariff They voted against suspension of the
rules but are not opposed to ,arifT-bu, the dem,
Ocrats who voted with ,arc' What does this
look likc' What does il look likc-cxaclly like
another federal trick, a manGuvrc of wrctchcd,
abandoned and unprinciplCd majority to cast the
Odium of nlal-legislalion upon the minority. II
Fillmore and Adams really wished this measure
should carry, why did they not vote for it them
Selves
Now 1t Is well known that the wings have had
caucus after caucus since the reception Of the We
to and have come 10 inc conclusion that nothing
should be done, 1t only renamed then for them
to do all they could to cast the ojium Of the de-
feat of the Bill this session upon the democrats,
ind then go home! IfllIcy could accomplish that
they would be satisfied Let Us examine into this

Talk it all about,

That after the wings had called on enough DEM
ocrats to help them pass 4 bill without dislrbu-
ton-whcn the democrats did join with them, the
wings in platoon Of forty six, their leaders at tho
head wheeled of, voted against their own measure
and defeated il,

The State School

We give below two of the names of those
members Of the House OF Representatives who
voted at tho last session to abolish this Fund.
We ask the irccmcn TO examine this subjc and
then decide whether such men arc worthy Ofthcir
support. This fund now amounts 10 over one
hnndred and sixty thousand dollars, and was set
apart by former Legislature solely for the pur-
poscs OF common school education. Our fathers
thought it of importance that the blessings of cdu-
cation should be extended 10 The poor as well as
the rich; and hence funds were set apart for that
valuable purpose But n new order Of things has
arisen, and in these days of bOasod light and re-
form, we find cishty-thrcc servants (morc proper
ly called mastcrs) of the people, voting to abolish,
10 annihiiate fOrercr, this valuable lcgccy to the
poor children Of the State. 1t is with pride that
we notice the name of erery Democrat against
this truly odious Bl!;-and VIC rejoice to know
that there were not wing members enough to defeat
it;-thOse who were not so led away by their par
ty leaders as to abandon all the common interests
of the people. But what can we say of those who
voted for it +, What excuse can they render to
their abused constituents Unless the people sec
to it, this fund will be destroyed at the comming
session. Three years ago, not ten members could
have been found, who would have dared TO have
recorded their names for it. But last year it WINS
assumed as party mcasury, by the whigs, and as
such, will be forced through, if they can retain
their power. They must have money to dcfray
the expenses of their partial and extravagant APP
preparations. They dare not tax the people to de-
fray them. Hence their attempt 10 rob the chill
droh of a fund which was set apart for the purpose
of enabling every child in the State, however hum
bic or poor, to obtain the advantages of u Com
mon School education. Frccmcn Of Vermont!
we ask your candid attention to this mater-De-
eide whether party tactics shall compel you to vote
for men who will thus sacrifice the common rights
and interests of the pcoplc.-Bnr Sentinel.

Remember!

Tia, every Hard Cider Clay Wing in Congress
by lacking Distribution onto the Tariff which they
KNEW the Prcsidcn, would not approve, in fact,
voted AGAINST the tariff bill.

never have advocated FREE TRADE.

Correspondence OF THE SOUTHERN PIONEER.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,.
JACKSON, January 6, lS4l.


Dear Sir
From the papers you have doubt
less learned that both houses of the Legisla-
ture met on Monday last, and organised by
electing Jesse Speigh: President of the Senate,
and Roberts Speaker of the House.
The Governors Message was read on Tues
day last, and SO soon as it was printed, | for
warded you copy, which you have received
hope, as usual. It's loco-foco and anti-bond;
but there is one virtue in it, which none Of
McNutt's messages have had heretofore--i is
his last thank God! Nothing OF interest has
occurred yet, as our new Governor ct. M.
Tucker) must be installed, before our house
goes fairly to business. The Inauguration
will take place on Monday next. =
Bills will be introduced to repeal the Gallon
Law--the Valuation Law, and lsuppose ma
ny other laws now in force. 1t il as yet i'm
possible 10 say when the Legislature will ad-
journ-not until some time in February. |
will keep you regularly advised as 70 what is
done and proposed to be done. see that the
anti-bond party are disposed to referthat por-
ton of the Governors Message in relation to
the bonds, to a Select Committee, who win
report in favor of reputation. or at any rate
solite pash the position OF our State on that
subject. The proposition to refer it to the
Judiciary Committee, which is wing, was OPP
posed violently by the democrats.
Winters is here in fine health, with plenty
OF wit by the wag. IT'S said he is to be mar
ried soon. Yours, truly, &c.

The EIGHEH OF JANUAKY.-This is a great
day in the Crescent city, and indeed through
out this great Republic; it being this day 81
years since the chivalrous old Hero and PARROT
Gen. Jackson, led an American army to the
field of battle, in the vicinity of New Orleans,
and gained victory-a brilliant victory
over the hosts of Old England. Let this day
be commemorated as day of deeds. in which
Tyranny was made to bow submissive at our
will Peace to theheary headed Hero of that
dayf Americans know him but to honor him.
Few but have fauts--Jackson as Statesman
had many-as warrior-none!

THERE ARE 1.-TWO Times ALrKE."-A res.

pectable woman, residing at Skateraw, near
Dunbar, was delivered of twin daughters a
bout four years ago, who are still living, and
likely to do so. When they were born il was
quite impossible, from their striking similari-
ty in form and feature, to distinguish the one
identity of each, the mother fastened bit Of
colored ribbon round the arm of the first born,
and supposed that when they learned to speak
she might be able to distinguish them by some
difference in the sound Of the voice. The
girls, however, have been prattling for year
or two, but their voices are as much one as
their personal features, and the eternal mark
is still the only means of identification.

Factors to sell, and light stapled middling Cot

1t is stated by the New York Commercial
that forged notes to the amount of fitty-five
thousand dollars, had been passed upon the
National Bank, the Butchers and Drover's
Bank, the Bank Of America, Bank Of the State
of New York and Bank of New York. The
present, indeed must be the bright days OF
forgeries and rascality. Not an exchange do
we receive, that does not contain something
of the kind. We have come to the conclusion

PUBLIC PRINTING.--As we have not hereto
fore made any remarks in relation TO this
branch of the public expenditures of the State,
in which all of her citizens are directly con-
cerned; 1t will not be thought amiss, should
we portray, in plain words, the course being
pursued. and which has existed for years past,
TO rob and plumber the State of thousands of
dollars--her citizens now depressed pecunia-
rily, and borne down under the burden of the
times, with no better hopes of being relieved,
unless retrenchment and reform takes place at
the seat of our State Government.
1t will be remembered that our State Le-
gislature, foreseeing the manner in which the
public treasury was thrown open for these po-
litical and corrupt partisans 10 "help them
Selves" at its session during last winter, wise
ly determined upon some plan to monopoize
the whole proceedings and put a stop to it at
once Accordingly law was passed, making
it the duty of the Secretary of State to give
notice, and receive Sealed Proposals to let out
the Public Printing to the lo,uest bidder. This
} was accordingly done. Upon examination, il
t was found that several bids had been made
! ranging from Zone Cent" up to several thou.
t sand dollars George r. Fall, of the Missis.
sippian, being the loUest bidder, as matter OF
: course the contract was made and obligations
e Immediately entered into for the completion
S of the public work. What will be the sur
k prise of our readers, when we inform them
s that this is the same Fall who has had a
II bounteous flow from the treasury for several
:, years; and that he now says, he "throws him.
self solely and wholly upon the generosity o
n the Legislature" After such law had pass
: ed and in existence, full force and effect
n allowing and giving any person whomsoeve
h the right to bid and receive the work, provi
ded he was the lowest bidder; would it not b.
disgraceful, outrageous and viainous. shoulc
the Legislature succumb to the wishes of thi
. "party hack" and vote an enormous sum O
one cent o0er the amount bid. We say, holt
him to the contract, and should he prove una
# BILE or forfeit his right, let the next lowest bid
J. der embrace an opportunity of doing the work
