How SOON WILL THE PENITENTIARY
CLAM IT'S owN?'-The Philadelphia Ledg.-
er particularises a case Of o mother and
three daughters in that city, VINO, before
the failure Of the United States Bank,
were worth $4,000. The whole OF
this sum was invested in the institution
named, and from the whole Of when
thew could not now probably realize over
one hundred or two hundero dollars.
Their wearing apparel and every thing
else that could be converted into means
for procuring nourishment, have since
gone, article by article, until dresses
were not left fit for more than one or
two Of their number to make themselves
public in-and for the last six weeks
they declare that mot an article of food
of any kind except potatoes had passed
The lips OF one Of them!' In the mean
time. where is Nicholas Blddle and the
horde Of plunderers who have wasted
the substance OF this widow and these
orphans? How long will it be before
Justice is meted out TO these public
nlunderers-before ssthe PenltentlaTy

Mr.. r. F. Marshall has sent another
letter to.the National Intelligencer, cor
recting some Of the errors of his first.
He no longer claims TO have been the
first to propose the striking out Of The
distribution section from the tariff bill.
He says that a couple of Tylerites,
Messrs. Gushing and Irwin, proposed II
before he did, but he still contends that
he himself was the first man Of The
.WIig party proper" 10 propose it. Well
we are very glad tha; he considers him
selfas belonging to the "Whig party pro.
peri and we hope he means to acquit
himself like worthy member Of It.
We assure him that there are many
modes by which he can evince his friend
ship for the "Whig party proper" far
more unequiyccally than by continually
stepping out ofhis way to make bitter
and unprovoked attacks upon its &C.
kuowIedged candidate for the Presiden-
Cyl. Journal.
Shame on you, Mr.. Marshall, for ma
king "biiter and unproyoked" attacks or
Mr. Adams and Mr.. Clay, the acknowl-
edged Wing candidates for the Presiden
cy! Well let you know that Messrs
Adams and Clay are "much supcriaz Il
you and more toot' You're a naughty
fellow, so you arc!

ANIMAL III MAGNETIsERs.-Decl the
best joke Of the whole season has
been played off upon the wise heads of
the Virginia capital. A lecturer on the
Mesmeric science has been laboring IN
that city for some time back, and hum
dfeds were made converts to its truth =
amongst the number we will name old
Father Richie, Corporal Sreeter, Of
The Star, and one or two Of the most
prominent medical gentlemen Of the
town, together with sundry Others, hose
names have not publicly transpired.
These gentlemen saw, swallowed and
believed all, and the respectable papers
controlled by the two former teemed with
the swonderments' OF the sleeper and the
power and charm Of the magnetism.
Things went on smoothly, the lecturer
.pocketedthe. rocks and 10 credibiiities
were performed with naturaIness that
put TO blush all opposition, At length
the scientific and learned gentleman
announced his intention Of closing his
experiments on certain evening named
and stated that on that occasion he would
astonish them all with the disclosures
he would make Expectation was on
tiptoe for The time appointed, and specu
lation was busy-tongued upon the pro
babIe new Developments. The Iectp.
rer kept his own secret until the time
arrived.
On the appointed evening his room
was jammed with the ellie of the towI
who manifested the utmost impatience i,
hear and see all the revelations tha
were TO be made. The magne,iser noun
ted his rostrum, and delivered one Of hi
most interesting discourses, interpersinl
the same with practical experiments up
on his ''sIeepy victim.' The Corporal
Of the Star, took copious notes, and s
did father Ritchie, and SO also did tn
'medicals, of saIl and singular' that Eel
under their observations. The lecture
closed his remarks. All was silent i
the great hall-sNow, said he, 4 vii
redeem the pledge made you-all tha
have done, all that you have seen, an
all that can tell you is, that ALL The "a
/ periments IN nsesmeric science made By n
and sOitaessed By The people Of RichmOa
ARE HnMsUG from beginning 10 end
gross imposition, without found alton !
truth, md purely fictitious The pec
pie Of Richmond felt chop~lallen at ii
announcement, and it will be d ling lin
we reckon, before they will listen aga

WB1c CONSISTENCY Perhaps no man
in the same space of time ever removed
as many persons from Office ns the Hon.
Francis Granger, General Harrlson's
Post Master General. Not less than.
seventeen hundred men were removed
from office by that black hearted Aboll-
ZIONIST. to crafty his own pitiful, con-
temptible revenge; and who murmured
at this havoc? Did the Wings, from
whose banners, in 1910, the motto OF
"no prescription for opinions sake" flew
streaming in the'windsf They did not
but maddened by their party zeal-ren-
dered insane by their Unsuitable desire
for the sspoils,' and not yet recovered
! from the intoxicating cider that destroyed
their reasoning faculties, they reVeled
in the scene, and laughed at the glorious
work, as did Robespierre when he saw
the bloody heads Of his innocent victims
roll from the guilIotine. But "a change
came Ger the spirit of their 'dream!
John Tyler has turned the other edge Of
the sword to the performance Of its func.
tions, and Wing heads are tumbling down
the rugged hill of prescription. What
is the cry from the Whig press? The
first we lay our hands on exclaims, in 9
ftof indignation, sTyler tyrannyH anc
then proceeds to condemn the captain
in very strong language, for what it Re
garded in Mr. Granger as perfectly pro
per, and as entirely conclusive evidence
Of his being 'Whig Of high standing!
Captain Tyler has got to work fast if h
removes as many men during his tern
as did Mr. Granger: but what is an un
pardonable sin in one, constitutes the 9th
er's greatest virtue!
We look forward with joyful anticipa-
tion TO the time when the honest indigna
tion Of The people will drive the braw!ins
demagogues Of the Wing party from
place or station in the administration
of the Government: that day is not far
distant! CLAY and Clayton Tip AM

RHODE TsLAND.-The Rhode Island Con
yention [Landholdersl for framing a
new Constitution for the State, met at
Newport and organized on the 18th ult.
The report Of ther first days procced-
ings, published in the Providence Chroni
Gle, shows that there is anything but a
good understanding between the mems
hers as to what shall be the basis Of the
new Constitution. The first article Ia
ken up for consideration, which, il wonld
appear from the report, embodies one OF
the essential principles Of government,
produced a very acrimonious debate
the opponents denouncing it in the most
unmeasured terms Of reprehension. =
one Of them, Mr. Childs, Of Ports
mouth, ''shudjered to hear the section
read; he was in st. Domingo in 1890
during their revolution, and their watch.
word among the revoIutionistst there was
precisely the same as the substance oil
this section, and he, for one, had no idea
Of Incorporating any such doctrines in
the new Constitution" What the pur.
port ofthis terrible section was, does mo-
appear, but we infer from the debate
that it set forth the right Of the people
10 change their government. Whatever
it was, il was advocated as warmly as /
was opposed. No final disposition wa.

GEN. JACKSON & A HIGH TARIFF.
In the Nashville Republican Banner,
we have read very lengthy article,
purporting tc be review OF Gen. Jack
son course upon the Tarif-in which an
attempts made to provethat he Is, and ais
suays has been, a friend and supporter Of
high Protective Tariff. Coming from the
source it does, we had reason 10 suspect
that unfair means would be used to sad
die upon the Hero of New Orleans the
crime Of having advocated system Of
taxation detrimental to the interests of a
great portion Of the people Of the Union,
and vioIative of the Constitution. By
reference to the Messages, and other
publications, Of General Jackson, we find
our suspicious pretty true: We find the
whole proof adduced to substartiate this
charge to consist of FFgarbled extracts
J and mutllated sentences, calculated al
! least to deceive the reader, unless he
I should take the trouble 10 inform himself
!. upon the subject.
7 The first piece Of testimony offered, Is
: Gen. Jackson's letter Of the goth April,
I 1924, to Dr.. Coleman, Of North Carroll.
ma, the whole of which is embraced il
the following sentence:
It is therefore my opinion that care
fMI and judicious Tariff is much wanted
$ topay our National De5t, and to AFFORD
US the means Of that defence within our
selves on which the safety of our coun.
! try and liberty depends; and last, though
i. not least, give proper distribution Il
our labor. which must prove benefcialtc
the happiness, independence aud wealth
2 of the community in general.
The next is his lettero February 2s
/" 1928, 10 Governor Ray, of Indiana, il
: which he repeats the substance of wha
: he had written to DR.. Coleman, and de
! clares that he voted for the Tariff Q
: 1924. The object Of these two pieces .
documentary evidence is 10 prove wha
/ Gen. Jackson and his friends very read
lily admit-thatis-- he voted in 1872
for high Tarif-but ihat his view
e as to a Protective Tariff il 1924 an
o in 1882 and 1856 differed very widel,
le We deem il no difficult matter 10 prov,
y Ia 1924, more than eighty millions I
n the Public Debt remained unpaid, and
d therefore required Tariff greater tha
the current expenses Of the Governmer
to meet The annual payments 10 be mad
upon this debt. To this fact every clos
observer Of public affairs can testify
Every member Of Congress, no matte
