then only protective tariff which tends 10
raise the value of property, and I-propose
/ 10 enquire how this will affect the rich man.
Ir all property is advanced alike then he can
buy no more for his farm or his mcrchan-
disc than he could before i, advanced. For
instance, if the income of certain real estate
would buy hundred bushel of corn to-day,
it would procure no more than that to-mor-
row. though the value of each were doubled.
There is evidently as much property in the
country now as there was five years ago,
though it would not be appraised for half the
I amount, and there would be no real increase
Tomorrow if it were reckoned at twice its
present value. Property. then, has rela.
tive worth, one species of it being more or
less valuable in comparison with another,
and the universal rise Of il would not there
fore of itself make the srich man richer"
But would it tend TO impoyerish the poor
man. or in any way inlure his rights D: his
pecuniary Interests if SO, it would be open
to most radical objections. And the second
proposition before US declares "that the poor,
being obliged 10 pay more for articles of
consumption, would be impoverished with
out participating in the general benefits"
Now, admitting il would cost more to live,
would there be no countervailing advantagel
Emphatically there would. All able bodied
persons have at their disposal The means for
acquiring livelihood. And as their labor
puts them in possession of those means. 1t is
10 them virtual property. II then, it IS true
(and no one can deny it) that The value Of
this property-or the wages Of that labor
which constitutes it's raised in proportion
as other things are advanced, no man is
impoverished. For the labor of the one is
enhanced as much as the property of the
other. How then, it may be inquired, does
protective tariff benei, the people? 1t
shuts of all competition with the pauper Ia
bor of otter countries, encourages our own
manufacturers. and stimulates all branches of
domestic industry. Thus the opulent have
profitable investment for their capital, and
they are enriched; while the poor find their
labor rewarded and brought into active and
constant requisiiion. and they are likewise
prospered. Let the experience of the age
testify whether this is not true; and let every
poor man say whether it is not harder for
him to live at this time than it was when
produce brought fair price, and when the
husbandman was repaid for his toll. And
ifso, let him remember that the Wing party,
in Congress and out. has uniformly sustained
this great measure. while the desperate fac
ton of the miscaled Democracy have not
scrupled TO join in a crusade against it. and
many other of the unquestionable and vital
interests of the country.

WINTER.

MARY HowETr has beautifully described til
contrast between the rich and the poor at this sea
son of lie year,
''In rich mems halls the fire is piled,
And furry robes keep out the weather:
In poor mems huts the fire is low,
Thro' broken panes the keen Winds blow,
And old and young are cold together
'oh, poverty is disconsoIa;e!
Its pains many, its foes strong;
The rich in his joval cheer,
Wishes twas winter all the year;
The poor man, mid his wants profound,
With all his lit le children round,
Prays God that winter he not long"

OPINION
The Court arc of opinion,

The Court arc of opinion,
That mutiny had been organized on
board the U. States brig Somers, to MUIR
der the officers and take possession of the
brig
That Glidshipman Philip Spencer, Boat
swain's mate Samuel Cromwell, and Sea-
man Elisha Small, concerned in, and gull
ty of such muiiny.
That had not the execution taken place,
an attempt would have taken place to re-
lease the prisoners. murder the officers, and
take command of the brig.
That such attempt, had it been made in
the night, or during squall, would, in the
Judgment of the Court, from the number
and character Of the crew, the small size
of the brig, and the daily decreasing phys
ical strength of the officers. occasioned by
almost constant watching and broken slum-
bers, have been successful.
That Commander Mackenzie. under
these circumstances, was not bound 10 risk
the safety of his vessel, and leopard the
lives Of the young officers, and the loyal
of his crew, in order to secure to the guilty
the forms of trial, and that the immediate
execution OF the prisoners was demanded
by duty and justified by necessity.
The Court are further of opinion, that
throughout all these painful occurrences,
so well calculated to disturb the judgment,
and try the energy of the bravest and most
experienced officer, the conduct of Com.
mander Mackenzie and his officers, was
prudent, calmTand firm, and that he and
they honorably performed their duty to the
service and their country.
