And now. because they were endravoring to
save the Government from the disgrace of not
paying IFS debts by loan, they were accused
of running the Government into debt. Was
it not perfectly known that this reduction was
going on under the Compromise Act? Then
was the time TO have taken up the subject: but
they discovered no disposition to look into

and third explosion followed rapidly, evident.
/ ly giving the voyagers the impression that they
were upon the point of being dashed to pieces.
! But the alarm was brief. The great ma
chine suddenly recovered its stiffness, and all
was calm again. The conclusions were sub
sequen'lv accounted for by the stretching of
the network on the surface of the balloon.
which had become frozen during the night.
When The muchine suddenly shot up into the
higher atmosphere, il swelled, and it was the
resistance Of the frozen network 10 this swell
ling, which produced the successive explos-
IONS. The sinking of the car was an illusion
occasioned by the surprise and suddenness of
the action. When the network had been re.
lleved, and the balloon was thus suffered to
take IFS proper shape, all was calm and regu.
lar once more.
During the darkness they were sometimes
peTplexed with sounds from either earth or air,
SO strongly resembling the heaving of waters
against sumo vast line of shore. that they were
tempted to think themselves speeding along the
shores OF the German Ocean or lowering over
tne Baltic From this apprehension, however
they were relieved by the recollection that
thelr course was unchanged.-At length they
saw the day, but they saw it under the
''o>t no'ei anu lhterereStlng circumstances.
About six O'Clock, after crossing the Rhine, the
balloon rose to a considerable elevation, and
showed them gladdening glimpse of the sun.
The view was now magnificent; the balloon
occupying the centre of the horizon of three
thousand miles in diameter and comprising in
single vast view scarcely less than eighty
thousand square miles. The country that
spread below was ri:h, undulatng, boundless
landscape, with the Rhine dividing it, and los
ing itself among the vapors that still chung to
the hills, or covered the valleys. The ascents
and descents of the balloon still more varied the
prospect. rapid descent first hid the sun
from their view, and they were wrapped in the
night which still shadowed the lower regions
of the air. Again they rose within sight ofthis
splendid display; again lost it. And it was not
until after they had made the sun rise three
times and set twice, that they could regard day
light as complete on the mighty expanse below.
They now thought of making their final des-
cent. But the question arose-'where were
they' They saw below them ranges of for
est wide plains, and large spaces covered with
snow, giving the rather startling impression
that they had passed the bounds of civilized
Europe, and were lowering over the deserts of
Poland, or he steppes of Russia. However
they now resolved upon descending; and after
two attempts, baffled by the failure of the wind,
and the nature ofthe ground, alighted in safe
ty, at half past six in the morning, in the Grand
Duchy of Nassau, and about TWO leagues from
Wellburg. The voyage occupied about eight
cen hours, and was in extent about five hun
dred British miles.

WHY DON'T CONGEss DoIT4

This question, with shameful effrontery, is
asked by some of the locofoco papers, in ref
erence to Congress and a Tariff. They say
that the Wings have majority in Congress,
and inquire why they do not impose Tariff!
They very well know that portion of the
Southern Wings ars locofoco on the Tariff
question, and vote with the Northern Iocos up
on every question touching Protective Tariff,
and thus,by this union,the Whigsare thrown
into minority, or have been. in Congress-
This the Northern ocofocos have done on ev-
cry question relating 20 the subject. They
vote against even an inquiry upon the subject.
Ard If the locofocos were not against a Tariff,
why do they vote thus, we would inquired
The Wings in Congress are gaining g.ound
every day in their attempts to bring into this
measure portion, at least of the Southern
Wings. They do not expect any help, but
continued and uncompromlsing opposition from
the Locfocos. They will in all probability
succeed in their object; but they have first to
put down locofoco and Southern opposition
Iflhe Northern locos were not opposed TO
Protective Tariff, Congress would establish one
in less than two weeks -Coledonian.

not say how cruelly,in some mportantrespects,
all have been disappointed. Our actual con-
dtion may be described in few words. In

MORE FACTS FOR THE PEOPLE.

The following resolution was introduced into
the Legislature of Maine last week and voted
down in the Senate by strict party vote
every Tory member voting against it and ev-
cry Wing in its favor.
Resolved, That in apportioning the duties
TO be collected on importations into the United
States, sound policy requires that proper
discrimination should be made, by so assessing
the duties as to give just protection to the
products and manufactures, and to encourage
the domestic production and labor of our own
country; and that the same duties shall not
exceed, in tue aggregate, the wants of an e.
economical administration of the government"
We ask the true friends of Protection every
where to remember these facts-especially
when they hear the Tories pratlng about their
friendship for Protective Tariff.

TO While the election in Connecticut was
pending, the Locofocos fought very shy of the
question of protection. 'What is the use of
this outcry for protection?' said the New Haven

tariff as they want it, and stop their noise about
it" THE knavery of this talk about WING

Georgia members is ingram with these fellows1
