PRESIDENT TYLER'S PROTEST.

We present to readers this morning. the Pro-
test OF President Tyler against the extraordinary and
nconsderate proceedings to which the House of Re-
representatives. were urged by that erratic old man,
John Quincy Adams on the occasion of the veto of
the second Revenue bill The Protest is most mas
tery paper, and every way worthy Of the Chief Ma
gisrate of the Union The enemies of the President
will soon begin TO find, if they have not already
found that in their repeated assaults upon him. they
have not only been signay repulsed but that he has
triuu phantly wrested from them their weapons of
war. The reference to the case of President Jack.
son, in the proceedings of the House. was particu-
larry unfortunate for the Wings. That ustrious
man was nobly sustained by the people and like
him, President Tyler rises higher and higher in every
conflict he wages with either branch of the Gov
eminent
The majority of the House knew that the Presi-
dent had done nothing contrary 10 the laws aud Con-
stlution Of the country and that il was in vain to
attempt TO nnpeach him. they, therefore, improperly
and indecenily resolve themselves into a court in
which, without evidence and contrary to the spirit of
the Constitution, they became the accuser and Judge
and Of course condemn him without evidence and
without permitting him 10 be heard. But be is safe
IN the hands OF the people who will sustain him as
they sustained General Jackson. The Wings CON-
menced the session, confident Of ensnarng President
Tyler in The meshes which they had been carefully
preparing TO throw over him; but at the end f they
Ind themselves feiIed and may, perhaps, find some
apology Tor venting little OF their spleen in conse-
9uenoe Of thsir disappointment. The Tariff bill un-
connected with the land has become law

THE PRESENT TARIFF.

We sorry that some of the democ ratio members
Of Congress thought their duty for the tariff
bill which has just become law. 1t is Objectionable
in SO many features, that almost any pre-
ferabe to being xiliaIy TO its adoption Noone will
deny that 1t Is measure for protection throughout
who considers the following points:
l. That there is not article nuacured 10 the
country, one that into competition with
domestic manufactures, upon which high duty is
imposed.
2. There is hardly q raw material used by the man
ufactuIers, which is not either admitted duty free
submitted to very hight duty.
8. That most Of the articles for which domestic
manufactures are exchanged abroad, have only light
duty imposed upon them, While the two principal ones
for which they exchanged coffee and tea are al
united duty free.
a. That, the other had nearly all the articles for
which the great agricultural staples exchanged in
GLIDING PROVISIONS are subject to a high duty.
1t perfectly evident, then, tina. the bill intended
tax laid upon the community for the benefit Of par
cuar class.
Was it no, departure from sound principle, to
AID IN the passage of SO outrageous piece of egsa-
ton
We aware, that the emergencies of the Treasu-
ny are pleaded In excavation, that many say, they
could not 60 home to their constituents without
making some provision for revenue. But doubt
whether tier constituents would have held them
sponsibe, If they had proposed some better measure
One that would have given ample and AT the
same time avoided the policy of prstectionand cuna
to III to the close of the session The responsibility
OF defeat would have then rested solely on the wigs.

THE TREATY.

The Globe is still insidiously attacking the
treaty just ratified by the Senate. So be IT, II
Mr. Benton desires this issue in behalf Of Mr.,
Van Buren,, and the promised Premiership when
he is elected, so let il be. He will find To his
sorrow that the Democratic party has the mo
raj courage to dispose Of him in short order.
He could only array some five or six Democrat
lie Senators against the treaty on party grounds,
while JOHN c. CALHOUN was seconded by twice
that number in support of it! The party will
Judge between them. 1t is not only the treaty
and the President the Globe and Mr.. Benton
are attacking they are secretly endeavoring TO
undermine Mr.. Calhoun and The Adminislra-
ton 1t will soon be seen which is The success
full party and which the defeated.
Mr.. Benton will never forgive Mr. Calhoun
for his great speech in secret session, which SO
completely demolished his own unworthy Ell
fort.

PROTEST OE THE PRESIDENT.


The extraordinary report of the majority of the
committee upon the Presidents last veto-a report
unprecedented in its character-er parte and extra
judicial has called forth manly and prompt protest
from the President in which Justly rebukes the un-
warrantable action of that committee in deliberately
trying him without suffering him to be heard in his
own defence, and soemnly pronouncing him guilty of
" acts for which he deserved impeachment" He
points out clearly and forcbly the improperly the
committee were guilty Of in going beyond the
sideraon of the Presidents objections to the BILL to
arraign his motives for returning it, and to assa his
whole official conduct without particle of testimo
ny to support the charges, and the conduct also of
the House which sanctioned this unprecedented pro-
ceeding by subsequently adopting the report without
proof without examination, and almost without dis
cusson. They declared him to be guilty of acts
which deserved impeachment, yet derelict to their
duty, they took no proper MEANS such the Consti-
tuition points out, to punish him for his guilt Admit
rable conservators of the peoples rights. Faithful
supporters of the Constitution they who see both
grossly violated, and yet take palms. beyond mere
expression of opinion, TO protect them against such
assaults The whole proceedings in the Presidents
opinion, and venture to say in the opinion of
ry man who deliberately considers the subject are
unjust, unconstitutional, and tending to throw
an uncontrolled and despotc power into the
hands of mere majority of Congress. He
clearly pereves the necessity of keeping the
various branches of Government separate and
combining each within the proper sphere of the pow
ers consttutonally delegated to it, and far his
action is concerned gives the best that he
will resist all encroachments upon that branch which
has been entrusted to his keeping by the people, to
whom he holds himself responsible for a conscien-
tous discharge Of his duties.

FRAUD CONFESSED.

The following letter has just been received at
the Post Office Department in this city. Others
of a similar character have recently been re-

way been deirauded of thousands, and we trust
that all the delnquents will be goaded BY their
consciences to repentance and restitution u

we hear Of but few mail robberies under Mr..
Wicklifie's administration Of the Department.
Enclosed is eight dollars, stated to have been de-
frauded from the Post Office Department.

LETTER FROM MIR. BENTON.

We copy the following extract from letter
which we find in a western journal, said to have
been published with Mr.. Benton's name TO il.
If it is spurious, that distinguished gentleman
will sertanly disavow il.
1.-THE principles which would govern Mr. Clay's
administration, If elected, well known TO the ma
ton. They have been displayed upon the floor of
Congress for the last seventeen years They const-
tute systemof i"erioan policy based the agrcul-
ture and manufactures of own his counry--upon inte-
rior well as foreign commerce--upon internal as
well as seaboard improyement-upon the indepen-
dence Of the world, close commercial alliances
with Mexico and South America II it is said that
others will pursue the same system, we that
the founder Of the system is the natural executor OF
his own work, that the most efficient protector of
American Iron, lead, hemp, wool and cotton, would
be the triumphant champion Of the new tariff the
safest friend to interior commerce would be the
statesman who has proclaimed the Mississippi TO be
the sea Of the West the most jealous promoter ofin-
ternal Improvements would be the President, who
has triumphed over the President; who opposed
the construction OF national roads and canals
the most Successful applicant for treaties with
Mexico and South America would be the eloquent
advocate of their own independence"

REFLECTIONS.

The following reflections took place in the
Senate, on the last day of the session:
George w. Clinton (son of De Witt Gin
ton re nominated Collector at Buffalo.
Joshua Jones (brother of the editor Of this pa
per, recommended by the leading men OF both
pares-not by us-we did not know his name
was before the Senate )-ReGeiver at Springfield
Missouri. We take occasion to say that we dc
not regret this occurrence. Our brother never
was partisan, and stands in need Of no pecu-
MARY aid from the Government. What he mag
DO hereafter, in conjunction with other victims
of the "Boody Senate" perhaps certain Sena-
tors will know hereafter.
