SPEECH ON HIS RESOLUTIONS TO
DIMINISH THE EXPENSES OF GOV

Great Britain's ultimate aim is 10 fall back, If
compelled TO withdraw from the commerce OF for

ton of free lrnde but when she can blind you no
longer, land she begins TO see and to feel this,)
then her own boundess possessions scattered as
they are through the four quarters Of the globe
these these are to be her ultimate resource for the
maintenance of her commerce, her power, and
her greatness; end from these she intends and
hopes TO draw the materials, as well as to find IN
them consumers for their own vast manufacturing

vantages with this Herculean Republic, inian, tho

Shouting their hands.-The Albany Advertiser
says: the Washington Globe is out against Tar
if 1t denounces the bill reported by MIR. Saltons-
tall, as Wing measure, and calls upon the party
TO rally against it. We are quite CONTENT il the
locofoco press will have it so, that the Tariff
should he considered us Wing measure, and
that the locoiocos, party, should, il thsy see
fit take ground against it. The protection of A
Forciga competition, and the deliverance of our
country from its present state of dependence upon
the OLD world, are objects Of such engrossing in q,
;erest to the great body Of the Northern People,
that whichever party takes ground against them,
must encounter defeat and disgrace. The North
will not agnin consent 10 be sacrificed merely to
promote Mr.. Van Buren's political interest at the

CHILDHOOD AND OLD AGE. How beautiful and
how touching the contrast! The shattered oak
and the twining vine the apt emblens. The
one indicative oil youth, freshness and beauty
the other of age, decay, and the perils of long
existence. The rosy girl and the decrepit grand
mother-the one joyous Bird and bounding
away like winged creaure--,he other with a
thin tal,ering voice, and steps that tolter onward
to the grave.
We have thus the two great points Of existence
before us the beginning and the end the NOR
ming and the evening-lhe rosy dawn and the
dusky twilight How sunny are the visions OF
childhood-how buoyant its expectations! How
green and glorious the fancied paths beyond
Like the fairy landscape whose choicest charms
live only 10 the eye of distant observer so with
the radient pictures which youth sketches upon
the imagined pages of coming time How few
will bear the test Of reaily-the closer, keener
glance of steady observation. 1t is we'll that it is
so. 1t is well that youth looks through an en-
chanted gass-ha il sees in the distance the green
hill tops and bright flowers and not tho pitfalls
and thorny paths that chequer the ways Of exis
tence.
And Old Age. Must it look back Tor home and
for Joy? Oh no. Even TO the dullest-lhe
dmmest vision, there is TO the Christian spirit, a
golden cline beyond-a sunny realm, where new
robes await the faiihful--a new existence, and
new Joys, and where the aehes, and the feeble
ness, and the burrows of age, shall give place to
Immortality, and all its holy and heavenly at
tributes.

Stephens Floating Botiery-The House in Com
mittee, we are glad to see, have concurred with
the Senate in making an appropriation of $780,
600 for building Floating Battery of Iron, in.
tended for the defence of the Harbor of New
York.
The steamer is to he shot and shell proof; the
engine and propelng apparatus are to be so pla-
ced as that the latter shall be submerged, and the
whole engine out of the way Of shot from the ves-
sci Of an enemy. Her guns 10 he large and to be
adapted to both shot and shell, and her burthen
not less than 1900 TONS The hull being low, will
cause it difficult to hit herr whereas the lofty sides
Of n seventy four will make her lair mark. BE.
ing able to approach with point blank shot she can
fire shells and grape shot into the large port holes
of her antagonist with terrific effect. The thick
ness OF her hulwarks (only A l-2 inch) will make
very small opening for the gun necessary, and
this is to be eectually protected by drop curtain
of the same material as the sides OF the ship so
that, in truth, her men will be hardly exposed to
danger She will combine all the advantages Of
ship and battery, being kind OF floating iron
fort md having no vital points exposed, such as
spars, sails &c. She will he free from accidents,
then, which often render vessel unmanageable.
Hollow shot shells will burst in pieces against
the walls OF his steamers, which # made of wood,
they would penetrate, doing as much damage as
round shot, and if they exploded, much more.

FACTS FOR THE PEOPLE.

1t is fact, that ten years ago we were in pros
porous circumstances and that now we are en-
barrassed.
1t is fact, that during the operation of q tariff
system, say from 1922 TO 1882, were constantly
increasing in prosperity and that since, under
the operation of an anti-arf or free trade system
we have been constantly going back.
1t is fact that from 1922 to 1882, besides in
creasing in wealth at home, we paid off Europe
an debt of upwards of one hundred millions and
that from 1892 to l642 besides decreasing in
wealth at home, we have contracted debts in Eu-
rope to the amount of upward OF two hundred
millions.
1t is fact, that ten years ago the farmer could
find good and ready cash market for his produce
aud that now he cannot
1t is fact that il is better for the farmer, that
the iron he uses, and the wooden and cotton eo-
thing he wants for his family should be rnanufac-
tured at home by persons who consume his grain,
and beef ard pork than that they should be
imported from Europe, where they are manulac-
tured by those who not suffered to consume
one pound OF our domestic produce.
II is fact, that il we want TO promote the in
terests of the farmer, we must secure TO him
good market at home, as we cannot compel foreign
nations to purchase the produce.
Ii is fact, il that we want manufactures TO give
profitable employment 10 our citizens, and good
market for our farmers, we must protect our man
uacturers by duties on European imports, as 9th.
erwise they will be unable to compete with coun-
tries where men are, by hunger, compelled to
work for ten cents q day.
1t is fact that the present free trade system, be-
tween us and England and France consists, in
our admitting, either as free, or at a low rate of
duties, the produce and manufactures of these
countries while they exclude, by high duties, our
produce, except such articles oil crude produce as
are indispensby necessary TO their manufactures
such US cotton, ashes, tanners bark, &c.
Ii is fact that the largest portion of the inpor
ting trade ofthe country has passed into the hands
of Europeans. Three or four European houses
can maintain travelling agent cheaper, in board
ing house in New York, than three or four Amer
lean merchants can maintain their families, pay
house rent, clerk hire, &C. and hence the former
can ,ndersell The latter, even when the former do
not cheat the revenue, which happens sometimes
Ii is fact, that under our last commercial ar
rangement with England, the English are fast sup
planting our own vessels, in our own ports.
These facts might be greatly multiplied, but
will not trespass further on the patience OF your
readers most Of whom, trust, will agree with me,
that, if we want TO the return of better days,
we must abandon the htmbuggery OF free trade,
and southern distractions, and come back to the
teachings of experience and common sense
