The report made by Mr. Kennedy, from the COM
mlttee on commerce, read in the House of Represen-
tatlVes on the 18th of May last contains deal of
lniorma'lon The report takes preliminary view Of
the domestic affairs of the country as affected by the
previous policy Of the government in respect to the
Currency, the Public Lands and the Tariff 1t shows
the sudden expansion of the currency consequent
upon the destruction OF the National Bank and the
substitution of local Banks in its place. Three hum
dIed and hty banks with aggregate capital of about
sloO,VOoOOO, were increased 10 seven hundred with
an aggregate capital of more than $3.50, 00O, 000 a
paper circulation of about $50 100000, was replaced
by one OF l900O000; the discount facilities afford
ed 10 the country to the amount of 5000 600 000 in
creased to upwards of 1928 900 00 From the Treas
ury department official instructions were given to
the Banks in which the public moneys was deposited,
10 enlarge their dscounts-these instructions were
eagerly obeyed. The report aludes to the defeat of
the Land Bill by President Jackson and the conse-
quent increase of land Sales which threw additional
sums INTO theTreasuy to be deposited in State Banks

the currency. The reduction of duties on imports in
1888, and successive periods since, contributed to

measures upon the commerce and habits of the ma

pie shall have fair trial of those principles
and measures in favor of which they swept
away the refuge of lies behind which Loco
focoism and its fuglemen had ensconced
themselves, in 1910.
Let the hum-drum chorus of Swing
promises" broken PROMISES" &c. be kept
up by the hypocritical partizans of pseudo
democracy, but the people, the final board
of arbitrators, will ultimately decide who have
broken the most promises, with the power to
fulfil them, and by their judgment we are
contented 10 abide.
We shall take an early opportunity to
point out little more definitely some of the
numerous promises which the Tories made
in 1929, when they succeeded in overthrow
ing the administration of JOHN Quincy AD-
ANS, and we will endeavor to refresh the
recollection of our readers with their unri-
vailed success in fulfilling them.

We do not learn that the liberal ac,;on NJ

The men around Dorr at Chepache,, care

this language they are baad of fierce,
blood-thirsty rufians, caring nothing for the

Our only regret is, that honest blood should
flow, that the gallant yeomanry Of the State

Mrs Blennerhassett, whose personal charms
in early life have been rendered enduring by the
eloquence of Mr. Writ, in the famous passage of
his defence of her husband, died in New York
yesterday, aged 10.
In going down the Ohio some years ago, we

waste, in company with party of friends. one
OF whom, an early resident of Ohio, was iamll-

RHODE ISLAND-CIVIL WAR;

Our readers will perceive by referring to
another part of our paper that the Rhode
Island rebellion has broken out anew. The
redoubtable D0rv las returned from his in
glorious flight at the head of from one thou
sand to fifteen hundred Loco Foco recruits,
mostly from other States. Here our rca-
ders have an exhibition ofgenuine Locofoco-
ism. Driven in disgrace from her borders
by the sturdy sons of Rhode Island, whose
Government he was plotting to overthrow,
the infamous DOrr has collected together
motley group Of desperate adventures, and
under the black flag of treason, is now seek
ing TO consummae his nefarious designs by
the shedding of traternal blood, and kindling
the blaze of civil war in the heart of quiet
New England. And in all this, let it torerer
be remembered, he has been countenanced,
yea encouraged and instigaied by the Loco
Focos of New York, Massachusetts and Yer
mont. The Tory state convention, which
lately met at Montpelier, our readers will re-
member, formerly endorsed their proceed
ings. Had it not been for this and other
such encouragement, DOrnever would have
dared to have carried his treason to such an
extremity. But this state of things cannot
long continue. We are happy to say the
constituted authorizes have adopted the most
vigorous measures TO preserve the majesty
of the laws and secure the tranquility of the
State. The state has been placed under
martial law by the general assembly and an
act has also been pas, i calling conven-
ton of the People for the purpose of form
ing a new constitution. The Providence
Journal of Saturday says:--

VETo OF THE TARrFF.-A rumor has been
very prevalent, for some days past, at Washing
ton and elsewhere, that the President would ve-
to not only any Tariff Bill, but also the Provis-
ional Tariff Bill if either should be passed with
clause repeating or postponing the 20 per cent
section of the Land Distribution Bill. This re-
port has been industriously circulated--and the
tone Of various articles which have recently APP
peared in the Madisonian, paper published in
Washington, and supposed to be in the conf
dence of the President, has appeared to give it
some sanction. We have not seen any good
cause to indce us to believe that the President
had avowed or entertained any intention Of We
toing the Tariff Bill, whether it was connected
with the Land Bill or not. The Madisonian of
Monday, disclaims any authority of the Presi.
dent, for the course it has taken on this subject.
