The CONTESTED SEAT OF Nh. LEVY, AS DELEGATE
FROM FLORIDA just the last sheets of present
number were going to press, we received this i'm
portant and interesting pamphlet great constitu
tiona question: entitled, cease and opinion of 7. ).
Du Ponceau and A. Davezac ON the con ested seat
of Hon. David Levy, delegate from the territory Of
Florida to the Congress of the United Statesn
Though signed by the two counscllors above named,
we venture to ascribe the learned research to
veteran jurst, Mr. Du Ponceau, now near his eighty
tn I'd year. the extensive learning particularly in the
civil law part of the argument, and the large and
satesmanike views could have from no other
of our jurists, and it is gratifying to the same
mind which has long contributed to enlighten and
instruct u.s. still in full vigor, and able to grasp the
greatest questions.
The argument rests upon the terms Of the treaty
by which Florida and its citizens annexed to the
United States, and the ordinances made in pursuance
of il !; and the naturalization of NJ. f. Levy, formerly
of the empire of Morocco, and father of the candl-
date, and under whom the latter claims his citizen
ship The question submitted to the counsel is thus
stated ''Was David Levy, ESQ., at the time of his
election as delegate to Congress, citizen of the
United States 7" The opinion of the counsel is, that
Mr. Levy twas, and is at present citizen - and the
opinion is sustained with great ability. We under
stand that two successive committees of Congress
have reported opposite opinions upon the case We
hope this has not been the result Of political feeling
in either instance.

Republican. 1t is as true as gospel. The ed
tor is real, true-hearted DEMocRAr. We
would rather have the support Of his fearless
sheet, than the halfway favor of half dozen
milk and water Wing journals, enjoying the
Executive patronage, that might be named.

Ter of record that they settled in grand caucus
bIed, hat they would "head Captain Tyler" See
Bolts Letter
IF President Tyler had been fairly and properly
sustained by the Wing party, there cannot be doubt
but that the country would, at this moment, have
been in much ore prosperous condition. The
Wings shit the tremendous responsibility they
under to the country upon Captain Tyler
No one ISIS stupid and ignorant to be gulled into
the belief that the sin lies at the door of the PIesi-
dent, who has manifested disposition to do every
thing in his power for the relief of his suffering

ASSUMPTION OF THE STATE DEB is
MR. JOHNSON

We learn that our remarks, in yesterday s
sons contemplated proposition for the assump-
ton Of the State debts, did that gentleman injus-
tce-and we regret it. If we have misappre-
hended that talented and valuable members
views, it is but just that we should hasten 10
repair the erroneous impression created by our
too harsh remarks-and we do it cheerfulIy
We meant only to express our aversion 10 the
unconditional and unqualified assumption of the
debts of the States which we understood was
advocated. We do not see how such mea-
sure could be adopted with an observance of
equality among the States. Yet, If The States
themselves, were to agree to it, their will would
double IS be the HIGHEST AUTHORITY, and nobo-
dy could or would object oit.
Some Of the States are deeply indebted,
some moderately, and others not al all. There
fore equity could not be obtained without a pro,
portiondbie assumption was agreed TO, having
a regard to the constitutional ratio Of represent
tation and taxation. This might be fair, but
whether polite, (the States still liable TO create
new debts, is altogether different question:
We are assured that Mr.. Johnson would only
from the States-and here we misunderstood
him,) carrying out the suggestion of making the
public lands the basis of the proposition. This,
we cannot but admit, would be vastly more adj
vantageous to the country than the proposed
waste Of the public domain, after the manner
which 100 many, in and out of Congress, con
template
We must, however, express our candid opln-
ion that this is not the time-when the Treasu-
nv is empty, and the national credit deeply af-
fected-when the Government has to borrow
money and increase the taxes-to agita,e this
subject.
Our design in writing this was not TO
express our VI VS. on the contemplated mea-
sure in any form, but to relieve oursef OF
the inference in the article Of yesterday, of any
reflections on the wisdom or patriotism OF one
Of the most gifted and valuable members OF
Congress. And we dolt with the greater plea
sure, because we have evidently been Id into
error by several imperfect definitions of the
measure, found in our exchange papers. 1t
affords us far more qualification to repair an in
jury in this manner, than to infict one, even
when it is deserved, and entirely justifable.-
We do not hold to the doctrine that an editor
should always maintain his ground, when once
taken, whether right or wrong On the con
trary, we would abandon our dearest principle
in an instant, if we were convinced it was
wrong. The scarecrow word INCONSISTENCY"
has no terrors for US, when used to deter us
from the pursuit Of JUSTICE.

HON. VIM. C. RIvES.

The speech delivered by Mr.. Rives, yesier-
day, In the Senate, was one of his most impress
sive efforts. He spoke against the proviso in
the Twelve line bill, which seeks 10 repeal The
clause in the Distribution act of the Extra Ses-
sion, which declares that when the duties shall
exceed twenty per cent. the distribution shall
cease. If argument could convince or per
suasion control, the Senate would hesitate
about perpetraling the act which they seem re-
solved 10 execute. What could be more solemn
than that provision, under the circumstances
attendant on its adoption? Without il
no such bill could have been passed; with
out ii we firmly believe the President never
would have signed il. And now, as if the spirit
OF mischief was abroad, that which was solemn
ly done at the extra session, and proclaimed to
be Wing measure, is at this time threatened
with repeal by the very men who passed il, al
though the Treasury is nearly bankrupt, and the
credit OF the Government greatly impaired
Can Senators, who thus seek to violate the So
lemn compromise merely for political purposes,
truly love their country2 Mono!
But, to return to Mr.. Rives. The speech
Of this gifted and noble son of Virginia,
was worthy Of the land of Patrick Henry.
/" Great! Glorious" were the involuntary excla-
nations of the listeners at every period. If the
eloquence of truth, and patriotism, and genius,
can have any effect on those Senators, no
seem blndy resolved TO embarrass and PROSTATE
the Administration, merely to elevate certain
polilician-then we hope this noble effort of the
true-hearled Virginan, will be fraught win good
consequences. But, should they have neither
ears nor hearts, il will go TO the PEopLE-they
will worthly res ond to t

From Hairs Patriot.

From the best information we have been able to
gain at Washington through sources that may be
he'd on we of opinion that President Tyler pM
veto any tariff bill sing the duties above the celebrated
coppr mise tic Of 20 per cent that shall not al the same
tune repeal suspend the ia,r for The distribution among
The States Of The proceeds Of the sales Of The public lands
If the President shall do this in addition to his two
of the bills of the session for the crea-
ton of another odous and unconstitutional Bank, he
will "atone for multitude of sins
When public officer does wen from good motive,
will speak well Of his acts when he olIends by
doing such acts the party which placed him in office,
we feel bound TO defend him. We are glad to sec
the course of John Tyler becoming such that the
democratic editor OF forty years standings the veteran
Richie of the Richmond Enquirer, takes stand in
defence Of his patriotic determination; and we hall
this as one OF those signs OF separation OF the true
democracy of the country from the merccnary spirit
which has at times been but too predominant IN the
expedlent legislation oi Congress. Whatever John
| Tyler may do wrong, We VIII speak well OF his
toes of he Bank aud of his determination TO rid the
statute book of colrupng distribution bill while the

Let the People choose between them. The

permitting protection incidentally, as recon-
mended by the President, and approved by three
fifths Of the People, is opposed by Mr.. Clay's
partisans, and such is the issue joined. We
will see upon whose banner victory will perch,
10 few weeks. We are told that the Clay
ranks are already broken. This augurs defeat.
There has been no yielding, no backing out on
the part of the President Let the orators and

without hesitation. l. t them speak out imme-

will obtain bioodtess victory-that our enc

their heads in shame forever, while the mode

(but the discounted Clay Wing party) will

If President Tylcr's measures suit the country,
the country will stand by him in preference to
either Mr.. Clay or Mr.. Van Buren,. If his
measures are Democratic, the Democrats will
be just as willing to have him President as any
