No Compulsory Inspecuons!


Rights of Man
No Compulsory inspections!
If our Legislature shall pass the bill abollshlng
all Compulsory Inspections, with oodIcil pro
yidinp that 1t shall not go into operation tll next
December, as the Senate proposes, the act will be
one of the most bareiaccd iniquitles ever consun-
mated Why should Compulsory Inspections be
abolished Because they are oppressive and per
nicious-certainly not otherwise Veil, the lact
that they are pcrnicious and wrong beng plainly
admitted by Their repeal, why continue them IN
force another year For tie benefit Of Inspect
ors--no other reason is pretended. But why shall
one million people be taxed for the benefit OF
dozen When was this maxim Incorporated into
the creed of Democracy
The fact is that the prctcXt set up that the
Inspectors have hired Storchousee, &c. which Will
bc heavy tax on them if the Compulsory rcqui-
sion Is waived is impndcnt and seli-condemn-
ing. In the first place, the Repeal now commended
for was boldly and formally demanded even before
the last State Elccton--thc Free Trade Associa-
ton having pledged all its candidates to advocate
such repeal. All the Inspectors are newly ap-
seeking office that the Repeal would be passed at
this Session. Secondly, What must be thc Uotue
of the Inspections if ncther buyer nor seller aoip
resort to them ,pithout ccRpulsion Of ld,o las
the rent plea assumes. But this matter Is too PLAIN
to argue.
The appointments, which we announced
some weeks since, of Jeremiah Tocie (Loco) as
Naval Officer of this Port, vice Thomas Lord,
Wing, and John s. McKib6in, quasi Conscrva-
tivcl Appraiser in the Customs, vice Edward
Taylor Wing have been consummatcd.
IL Hon. WALTER FORWARD, late Secretary of
the Treasury, arrived in this City yesterday from
Boston, and departs this morning for home, Pitts
burgh. Pa.
Il Mr.. WEBSTER has gone to Marshhcld. 1t
appears to be generally understood that he wall
not return TO Washington as Secretary of State,
but that his resignation is already IN the hands OF
the President The late changes in the Custom
House strengthen this opinion.
u lonN [. NluMroRp has brought out his
Standard in favor of Mr.. Van Buren, for next
President. John commenced by opposing Van
bitterly and insisting that he had had the Pres
dency long enough, and should now stand back
for better men. Aiiorward, John did business
mainly Erie Railroad man; then he wen,
IN for TylcriSm when Gen. Cass came over, he
threw up his cap for Cass and raised his standard
for President. Then he went back deeper into
Tyeusm again, but II seems not to have pad.
and now he comes out full tilt for Van Buren,
Well: SO long as he don't come out for Clay, the
Wings are content; and We hope his last sum,
mersct is not laid at the door of the Pipclavers'
BY the WAY, John, what about those 10000
Bucktails' you advertised for SO fierccly?
i" A letter from NJ. De LAFoREsr, the French
