THE PRESIDENTS PROTEST.

In this document President Tyler has again added
greatly to his reputation as statesman, an indepen-
dent officer and forcble and elegant writer. The
Federasts, as they formerly did with Gen. Jackson,
pay the present Executive high compliment In de-
nying him the authorship of the Protest We do not
doubt nor does any rejecting man doubt, that the
same hand that pehned this, also penned the Veto
Messages which it will be recollected were called
by some Federal critics just wretched enough for his
intellect and by others altogether too superior. But
be this as it may, will deny that it brings
home to the prosecuting adversaries OF the President
the truth with power No will wonder, when it
read that it fell like hot shot in the enemys camp
The manly and moderate dignity of the Presidents
Protest contrasts with the cowardy procedure of the
majority of the House, in manner that rebounds so
greatly to his honor and their disgrace that it is easy
o divine Why they should deny his remonstrance
place upon their journals any more than fair trial
before the proper tribunal, if guilty of the charges
however, will most emphatcally fail in this last as
well as they did in their former attempts % head
Captain Tyler" He may be denied, for the time be-
ing to be heard through the Journal of the proceed
ings of Congress- but his defence and complete vind
cation from the aspersons cast upon him by his add
versarics, without even plausible pretext, will
spread to the utmost extremites of the land and find
no less effective and honorable record in the hearts
of the people. 1 he deeds for which gang of poll
teal desperadoes have sought to njure his fame and
impugn his motives, have already been responded to,
in expressions not TO be misintepreted by the people
of the country. By these, depend upon it, he will be
held in honorable remembrance, when this last and
the similar acts of his enemies will sink their
into dark oblivion, or render them a by-word and
scorn with every true friend of his country.

FEVER.
The New Orleans Bulletin, Of the Sd instant,

The New Orleans Bulletin, Of the Sd instant,
says:
We suppose the fever to be gradually increasing ia
extent, but by no means IN n,ahgnry. In the con-
sderaton Of this subject, it houlj be borne in mind,
I'll much larger number of unaccIimated persons
is with now, than usually happens at this season
The time when any man who chose, could get be-
you'd the reach of danger, is now gone by. There
are hundreds in this city forced TO undergo the
process the risk OF acciimation who, il they had
the means would leave the ely to-day Seeing that
the disease assumes light character this yeai, and
deeming IT fuTtheTance To the advancement of the
city, we cannot c0Dscentiously say sorry for
their inability. Before being accmated, a man in
New Orleans is Looked upon with suspicion. He
is considered bird of pas age only-he forms few
acquainiances-makcs less friends, and is never
positive Of his place in society. Aherwards-when
he is creolized, as we term il, he is regarded with
confdence-friends flock in. One soothes him by
pleasant words-another solaces with the candor Of
INTIMACY third gives him business, and all extend
confidence. We never therefore regret to hear that
one Of our friends is sick with fever If he die we
are sorry but if he i've the wealth of the reward is
far paramount TO the danger.

The TARIFF, though great relief from the dam
gers of no law is yet operating very severely upon
merchants engaged in the foreign trade. friend of
who happened TO be yesterday in the store of an
importer, seeing row of packages of dry goods
which appeared to have been recently imported, in-
quired of the merchant as TO the operation of the
Tariff. The duty on the first package, said the
chant is ninety per cent. on the cost the second
hundred per cent; on the third, four hundred per
cent; the fourh, fifty per cent on the fifth, two
hundred per cent; the SIXTH sixty per cent. and
on the rest fifty to seventyf five per cent The duties
it will be remembered levied from the day of the
signing of the Act, upon goods which were ordered
with the expectation of paying twenty per cent
Such duties, layable in cash, of course put an end
to trade. The package which paid duty of four
hundred per cent, fancy cotton handkerchiefs,
with thread of silk around them to heighten the
color, which made them subject TO the specific duty
on silk by the pound. II is greatly to be regretted
that Congress, after so long session, should have
come to so unsatisfactory result. We hope, how
ever that the next session, Congress will modify
the extravagant features Of the BILL and bring into
shape which will give TO all kinds of business the
fundamental basis of property, permanence and
sieadiness,
