But II Is argued that the House has the right TO
demand these papers. The House has right TO de-
mand them. II is singular that the resolutions re-
ported by the gentleman from Pennsy lyania Mr. Coo
peri do not carry out the principle of demanding the
papers They are so framed TO request that the
President would communicate the papers. These
gentlemen who talk about Cato and BrlItus and sgd

not pay shlp-money, request the President-request

That the reasons of the Secretary should be

therefore glad sketch of the resources condi-

admit of analysis of the various matters en-
braced in the article. We cannot however omit a few
facts connected with Irish migration, and the Ten

The subjec of emigration is important as connee ed
with population; but have no means of ascertain

to settle in foreign countries besides those who seek
employment IN the large cities and towns of England
and Scotland. The following numbers departed from

THE TARIFF SYSTEM AGAIN.

The three leading Tory journals in this
state-the Montpelier Patriot, the Wood
stock Spirit Of the Age, and the Burlington
Sentinel have taken ground, decidedly and
strongly, against the principle OF a protec-
tive Tariff. This we knew they would be
compelled to do, if they continued 'oact with
the Tory %party-for that party is ruled with
a rod of iron by the Southern Slave inter-
est. Thus it is, thus it has been, and thus il
ever will be. II was the policy OF MIR. Van
Buren, to "carry the South by failing in with
Southern measures, and the North by party
machinery" Hence we saw Northern To-
rles uniting with Southern shareholders to
enforce the infamous Gag Resolution ~
of Atherton. Hence we saw Van Blu
