denied the propriety Of exercising this power in

low citizens, or TO advance the interests of one sec
ito" Of the Union at the expense OF another
All must agree that taxes should be imposed with
full and fair reference TO the advantages derived
from the existence Of good government, by those
who pay them.-Those advantages may, in general
terms, be justly described as resulting from ample
security in the enjoyment of our personal rights and
rights Of property, wih adequate safeguard against In
'ornol commo'on and foreign aggression.
II is certainly true that in the formation of our
thrift duties varying in amount are also imposed on
the same articles which constitute the staple produc
tons of this country, when imported from abroad;
but it is not equally true that the effect Of that I'M
position, in respect the protection thereby afforded
to the domestic production of them is for the most
part nominal!
When the Convention speak ola discriminating
tariff for revenue understand them referring TO
Determinations below the maximum rate OF duties
upon imported articles, designed to increase the
protection already afforded domestic manufacture
crs but TO carry out views of policy different in their
character, and which may properly be embraced in
such measure.
Now, after this, if any body can tell whether Mr.
Van Buren, stands pledged before the country, by
this Indiana letter of his, for against Tariff, not
only for revenue, but for discriminating Protection,
he shall share the Immortality of Gdipus, who so!v-
ed the riddles ofthe Sphynx!

A conviction that the es-

"SKETcH OF THE LIFE OF HON. ISAAC
FLETcHER"--is tho title of small pamphlet of
50 pages, lately issued, and compiled by the Hon. l.
r. Redfield, copy Of which some one has kindly
sent to u.s. The author gives the early history of Mr.
Fletcher embracing his of study preparatory to
entering college, his progress while at college, his
professional studies, and his success after entering
fully upon his professional career, his public services
in the State and in the Congress the United States
to which are annexed two letters written from
Washington, to the author, in 1888. Gen. Fletcher
is very properly cassed by his biographer in the list
of self made men, and hopes that the success OF Gen
F.-the result of his efforts under embarrassing
circumstances in his early life-may stimulate the
young to seek after high atanments and great
name This brief narrative cannot be otherwise than
gratifying the relatives and particular friends of Gen
Fletcher.

The Dtalh and Burial of the young Indian
Squaw in New-Yoik, is thus described by The
spondentof The National lnlelligencer:
The immediate cause Of her death was vi
olent cold, taken in coming home a night or
two before from ball al the Tvoli. The ON.
nibus in which they were returning broke down
in Hudson street, and they were obliged TO
walk mile through light snow falling al the
Time. Their thin moccasins were no prolec-
ZION, and four or five cfihe Indians were i'll the
next morning, the bride worst OF all. She died
in dreadful agony OF congestion of he blood on
the third day, spite of the best medical allend-
ance and every care OH The part of The ladies Of
the neighborhood. The Indians were all stand
ing around her, and, on being told that she was
dead vihey tore the rings from their ears, and
stood for some minutes In silence, with the
blood streaming upon their checks. Their grief
afterwards became quite uncomfortable. They
washed of all The paint with which they have
been so gaily hedecked while here and painted
the dead bride very gaudly for burial She was
inferred in the Greenwood cemetery. The
most passionate affection eSisied between her
and her husband. He is a magnificent fellow,
the handsomes, Indian we have e., er had in the
cities, aud happier marriage who never cele-
brated. She followed close a, his heels where
ever he went, and had scarce been separated
from him five minutes at time since her mar
riage. The poor fellow is an object Of grea,
commiseraiion now, for he seems completely
inconsolable. His wife was the idle of the
parry. They are very impatient te be away
