IOHIANIHHNN1NUN
DIED.,

In this Borough on Monday evening, the 2lst
inst after an illness of about 10 days, Robert Cam
eron, eldest son of William and Sophia Davis,
aged 8 years and months.
Beautiful and sprightly, he was favorite of all
who knew him-the pride and JOY of his doting
parents. In the bright future they saw their son
crowned with honorable distinction, after manly
struggle on the arena of this world: but God had
other thoughts and purposes respecting their child
Ere he had learned the deep meaning of care, Ia
6or, and sorrop-those oft recurring words in the
vocabulary of Time-he was caught up to con-
verse with other and brighter objects than this
world can offer.
Thou art gone to the grave, but we will not deplore
thee
Though sorrows and darkness, encompass the
tomb;
The Savior has passed through its portals before
thee,
And the lamp of his love is thy guide through the
gloom.
Thou art gone to the grave, but 'twere wrong to
deplore thee,
When God was thy ransom, thy guardian, thy
guide
He gave thee-He took thee, and He will restore
thee
Where death has no sting, since the Saviour has
died
Selected for the Jeffersonian, by a Lady-on
the occasion of the death of Robert Cameron Da-
Wis.
My boy, my brave, my beautiful,
With eyes of heavenly hue,
And ruddy cheek, that spake full well
The stem whereon they grew;
did not think so soon to see
Thy roses fade away,
And thy golden hair, so dear to me,
Descend to mould'ring clay
look'd with all fathers love,
To see thee in thy pride,
Aspire to tickle Fortunes seat,
With Honor by thy side;
But all my hopes, like early dews
Before the rising sun,
Have pass'd away and left no spot
To glad my eyes upon.
Thy voice, oft raised in gee and song
No more shall be attuned
To melody of words, which gave
balm to ev'ry wound
Thy coral lip, so pure, so sweet,
Thy smooth and speaking brow,
That made us wonder at thy days,
Alas are marble now!
The fairest flowers that deck the field
Are soonest to decay;
And fondest hopes and deepest Joys
Are swiftest borne away
And lis not strange that thou, so young,
Should be Guild forth and riven,
For thou vert only sent to earth
Upon thy course to heaven.
Yet still can but weep, to think
That thou alas art gone
That hopes of bliss l CHERISHED here
Are now forever flown
But will try to teach my heart
To seek that blessed Son
Who stands forever, as the rock,
To build our hopes upon

WESTERN ARMoRY.--It will be rcrem
bered that Congress authorized the Presi
dent to appoint Commissioners to select
some suitable point in the Great West for
the location of an armory. The gentle.
men appointed are Gen. Armstead, Col.
Long and w. Lawson, Esq. These gen.
tlemeh are now upon a tour through the
great valley of the Mississippi and will
doubtless pay US visit, with the view ol
making such observations as will satisfy
them in relation to the fitness and re
sources of the several most prominent
points for the location of the contemplated
nrmory within our limits. Natchez
Vicksburg or some point upon the Gulf OF
Mexico will we hope, recommend them
selves 10 their favorable consideration.

The Tariff q democratic measure
Untiring efforts are being made to fas-
ten upon the public mind the convic-
ton that the democratic party, as a
party, have been uniform in their OPP
position to the tariff principles. The
protective policy is bitterly denounced
by locofoco journals as 'JederaE
measure, and those who advocate it
are denominated "dristocrdts." We
surely cannot foresee what will be the
potency Of these c0tcH-,Oords of dema-
goguism; nor can we predict the sue
cess that will mark the efforts Of the
locofoco party to deceive the people.
We do know, however, that most OF
those great men of the country who
are regarded as the true apostles OF
democracy-men who, even now, are
acknowledged as distinguished expo
nents of the spirit Of democracy-have
recorded opinions highly taUorabLe 10
the protective policy, or American
System. Without troubling oursell
with a thorough investigation, we pro
pose referring TO at least two distin-
guished leaders Of the party, and quo
ting their opinions on this important
subject. And if we succeed in show
ing that the democratic "sage of Mon
ticelIo," the illustrious JEFFERSON, is
with the whig party on the question ol
protection-and that the mighty chief.
tain Of the Hermitage himself, agrees
with Us in sentiment, surely the locofo-
cos wilIno longer consider this a ':fede-
ror' measure or view its supporters as
"aristocrats.' The biographer oI
Thos. Jefferson, referring to that gen.
tleman's political role Of conduct,
saysi
"Freedom was offered for freedom
and prohibition with every nation or
the globe-a free system Of commerce
which should leave to nations the ex
change of mutual surplusses for mutua
wants on the basis of easy and EXACT
reciprocity was his desire; but if am

The debate on the Veto was con-
tinued, Monday, in the House Of Rep
resentatives, by Mr.. Hunter, who
went the whole figure for the Veto
and Capt. Tyler. When he conclu-
ded, motion was made TO postpone
the subject with view to adjournment
as it was the 4th. Mr.. Cooper Of Pa.
opposed the motion. The day was
fitted for the %ork in hand. Sixty-six
years ago the people were engaged in
res sting a British King for Withholding
his sanction to laws the most whole
some and necessary for the general
good. The Wings of this day were
engaged in like work, in resisting a
self constituted Despot, who was per-
Petrating the same tyranny. Mr.. c..

treachery ofthe President.

support ofthe President and the Veto.
All the Locos go the same way which
is most cheering sign. Itargues that
the coalition is completed, and that
The Wings are delivered Of the Exc
cutive incubus-the greatest deliver
ance which ever blessed any party.
Mr. Marshall followed Mr.. Saun-
ders, in strong condemnation of the
veto. He spoke in very significant
terms Of that provision in the Consti-
tuition, which relates to impeachment.
Mr.. Adams spoke on the same side
and with the power which cbaracteri-
zes all his efforts. He denounced the
Veto as the monarchical feature of the
Constitution, and considered the exer.
else Of ii in the present case most ex-
traordinary.
The question was then taken, and
the vote stood on reconsidering, ayes

in the affirmative. John TyIRr over

We have nots Sor many 4 day, vii.

lion, in or out of Congress, as has fol-
lowed Mr.. Tyler's veto of the proris-
ional revenue bill. 1t is blow lev
elled al revenues which are requisite
TO keep The Government itself in mo-
ton. 1t is an act eFincing a settled
determination TO thwart the represen.
tatives of the people in every thing
which conflicts with the will Of the in
diviLual who by accident fills the Pres
idential chair. 1t is toscin sounding
the knell Of all relief to the people
1t brings with it an increase ofExecu-
live prerogative, already alarmiDgly
great. 1t menaces the representatives
Of the people with a slavish circum.
scription of power which can look
alone to despolic Executive for its
scope of action. In the language OF
Mr.. Holmes, Of South Carolina, one of
The Presidents new locotoco friends.
"Mr. Tyler has thrO,rn himsclf betpeen
the people and Congress, and by his
single ann has arrested Legislation. -
He has said to the peoples representl.
tives, what a despot would say to his
minions-I do not like what you have

temporary, Sin regard to which the
Constitution is so jealous that it ex-
pressly declares that all such bills shall
originate in the House of Representa-
tives, and in which other branches Of
the Legislature have been chaIy of in
terfering, even by amendments" Ii
is the denOcament of open treason 10
former political friends, and of covert,
bargain, and alliance with those who
have hated and ridiculed, but now
wheedle and use this miserable Presi-
dent. 1t is said by one who was an
eye witness 10 the deep excitement
which followed the veto in the u. s.
House of Representatives, chad the
Americans Witnessed the progress Of
the treason Of Arnold-had he been
able to accomplish his base traitorous
design of surrendering West Point TO
the British; and the American army
and people had been compelled to wit
ness the treacherous act, they could
not have felt deeper or more just in
dignalion than the Wings in Congress
have been made to feel by the tTeach-
ery of John TYLER"
