Nothing seems doing at Washington, ex-
ceplyhig quarres and President making. The
Clay and Tyler factions are very bitter and
malignant towards each other while the cred.
IT Of the nation is sinking every day, millions
in debt What a feast have these relormers
brought 10 our vision.
Clay has, for the hundre,h time given ont
hints that no will soon resign his sea. in the
Senate. and of course he will then mmedi-
aleIy enter the field for tho Presidency. Pre-,
paralory to this elecloneerng move, he has
Submitted the following resolutions in the Sen.
a'e, as The ground work of his operations.
Yes, this reform party that promised to ad.
minister The Government with 13 millions an
nually, now ask rs millions, two millions of
which is 10 remain On hand as bribery fund.-
This is five or six millions more than tho ex-
penses Of Mr. Van Bursn's last year. Oh!
what reformers are these!
Resolved, That it is the duty of the Gener-
al Government, in conducting i,s adminislra
NOD, to provide an adequate revenue within
the year 10 meet the current expenses of the
year and that any expedient, either by loan or
by treasury notes, to supply in time Of peace,
deficiency OF revenue, especially during
Successive years, is unwise, aud must lead 10
pernIclous consequences.
2 Resolved, that such an ADEQUATE revenue
cannot be obtained by dulles on foreign i'm
ports. as provided for in The Compromise act,
which, a. The time Of its passage, was SUP.
posed and assumed as rate that would SUP.
ply sufficient reveuuelfor an economical ad-
mInlslratlon Of the Government
3. Resolved, therefore, That the rate of du.
ties on foreign imports ought 10 be augment
ed beyond the rate Of twenty per cent, so as
10 produce nett revenue Of twenty six mil.
lions OF doIars-twenty two for tho ordinary
expenses of Government, two for the pay-
ment Of the existing debt, and two millions as
reserved fund for contingencies.
4. Resolved that in the adjustment of Tar.
if to raise an amount Of twenty-s millions
ofrevenue, the principles OF tho compromise
act generally should be adhered TO; and that.
especially maximum rate of ad valorur du.
Ties should be established, from which there
ought TO be as little departure as possible.
D. Resolved. That the provisions in the

LAST MAN OF THE TEA PARTY.

Died at Marlborough, w., on the 4lh ult.,
hlr. SAMUEL Hammond, 10 the 94h year ofhls
ase He vas native Of Newton, in this State,
and the father Of our respected fellow-citizen,
NaIhsnel Hammond, Esq. He was an in-
duetrlnus farmer, an ardent patriot, and se-
ds.e Christian. The incidents Of his life, like
those OF his country, during his earlier days,
were remarkable At the age of twenty.6 FIVE
years, and on The memorable day when The po-
puIar determination to resist The oppressive
laws of England was manifested III the de-
slruclion,Oi the lea al Boston, he happened to
be in town with loaded team. On hearing
the call-'Boston harbor tea. pot this nlght!'
he left his team at the nearest tavern, equip
ped himself in the Mohawk gar6, and joined
the party. On returning home he was not We
Iy communicative as 10 what detained him in
Boston; but the mystery was soon solved by
the appearance of small quantity Of lea that
had accidently lodged in his shoes.
The year before the Declara alton Of Indepen-
dence, Mr.. Hammond, with his wife and one
child, removed 10 Otter Creek, in New York,
and began new settlement The Indians,
however, soon became hostile, and he was
finally dislodged and driven back, under cir.
Cuiie'AhCoo vi PoCuIdI HdIuSnlP l0 nau OC~
casion to come TO Newton on business, leaving
his wife and child in his block house; when a
large body of Indians from Canada approached
the settlement. The unprotected wife per-
ceived that her only hope of escape was in
flight. Unwilling that her household utensils
should fall into the hands of the enemy, she
sunk her earthernware 10 the creek, and burr
led her iron ware in the earth She then yok-
ed her oxen, bound her feather bed upon the
yoke. placed her little boy, together with a
block lin tea pot upon her shoulder, and took
up her march for Newton. After proceeding
about fifty miles she met with her astonished
husband on his return AT the nearest settles
ment the oxen were exchanged for horse, up
on which the featberbed, the wife and boy
were placed, aad the whole party thus
returned to Newton.-Soon after The close of
the war, Mr. Hammond made second attempt
10 effect new settlement, at Marlborough, in
Vermont; and here he was successful. He
has lived 10 good old age, and has left rep.
u'stion Of which his descendants may be just
ly proud.

tx ouestion, who are in reality striving to make
nartv capital out of it. They perceive that if
Protective Tariff be advocated as Wing
measure exclusively. that it will be the means
of deprising them of ninetenths of their pres
emf political strength it is therefor their in
terest TO prevent it from being advocated on
such grounds, and TO have it maintain sort of
middle ground from which they can escape if
it should become necessary, without doing too
great violence 10 their democracy"
The Wing party,in this county at least, have
no disposition 20 make the question OF pro-
tective tariff party question. But they wish
to have il distinctly understood that those
members of the opposition party who choose
to unite with them in advocating such tariff,
must do so honestly and in good faith. They
must rid themselves of their on-committal
propensities, and come out with their senti-
ments like men, openly and above board. If
they intend 10 act as allies Of the Wing party
in this great matter. there must be no decep-
tiou no talking one way and roting another.
For the true friends of American Industry can
not place confidence in men who with profess
sions of attachment to the protective policy on
their lips, deliberately walk up TO The polls and
vote for men who threaten TO dissolve the L..
Mon if protection be extended TO American
manufactures. If men are SO servile in their
obedience 10 their partisan leaders that they
prefer their success to what they acknowledge
10 be the true interests of the country, the
Wings ought not 10 be blamed for having sus-
picions of their integrity.-1roy Wing.
THE SACRIFICE MUST BE MADE.-Mr Van
Buren, having determined to be a candidate for
the next Presidency, his partisans here are bu-
silly employed in devising measures to sacrifice
the great interests of ihe North TO concihiate the
roies of Southern Shareholders. The decree
has gone forth and the party must obey orders.
Hence the extraordinary conduct of the Budg
CT and its abettors, at this crisis on the subject
of projecting the domestic industry ofthe coun-
try. The interests Of the farmers mechanics
and laboring classes of the North must be
wantonly sacrificed TO promote the political
advancement of Martin Van Buren,. Are the
people of the North disposed TO look on quiet
ly and see the surplus products of their farms
and workshops finding no markets then let
them submit their necks to The yoke. 1t has
been determined and the sacrifice must be made.

ANIMpRssIvE SCENE. The King of Prus-
STA during his late visit TO England to attend
the christening of the young prince, visited the
Newgate prison in company with the celebra-
ted Mrs. Fry, walking arm in arm. When
they had reached one of the female wards, the
inmates were all assembled around table, at
the head of which Mrs. Fry took her seat, and
explained to His Majesty the circumstances of
the prisoners, and the improvement which had
been made among them by the Introduction of
religious services. This prison had long been
considered one of the worst in the kingdom,and
when, some years ago, she first had the prlvil-
eye, by the courtesy of the magistrates of Lon
don to visit this prison, it was unsafe for the
Governor, and more so for himself to venture
into the female wards. Mrs. Fry then pro-
ceeded TO read to the prisoners two chapters
from reli. ious work, commenting upon them
as she proceeded, with view TO convey TO
His Majesty an idea of the mode in which she
conducted her charitable visitations. Then
followed psalm,which being concluded, Mrs.
Fry knelt down. an example which His Ma
jesty instantly followed, and with the most
devout attention, listened to beautiful extern
poraneous prayer to which Mrs. Fry gave ut
terance. The scene at this moment was indeed
n strange one; at one view, the beholder wit

Sir thousand pair of boots were imported last
week at Boston from Havre by one arrival !!
They were made by Frenchmen who work for
a shilling a day and live upon frog soup, gar
lie, and other Injuries unknown 10 us poor

these boots upon the feet of one our Trojan
macaronies of the anti-taritf party day or
two SINCE and very elegant boots they were.
They cost him $3.50. Before the summer is
over thousands of these French boots will make
their appearance in this city, and be sold at
the same price. They are of the same quality
with boots which now sell here for 81 and So.
