He Isl man of irreproachabIe moral character
and contrastsin that respect with the whig candi-
date - 80
He is not loaded down with the guilt of mur.
der, meditated or accomplished like the whig
candidate.
No widow and orphans weep the loss of hus-
band and father, slain under his counsels, as in
the case Of Cilley and the whig candidate.
The gambling table has not seen him robbing
his money or property as has the whig candidate
The brothel has never resounded with the noise
of his profigate mirth and obscene Jest, as the
case of the whig candidate.
He is not chargeable with the crime of violat
ing the constitution and his oath by sitting in a
Legislative body, with perfect consciousness thai
he had not the constitutional qualifications, as did
the whig candidate in the Senate of the Uuiled
States
He has not violated constitutions and oaths ol
office, by attempting to kill members of Legislative
bodies for words spoken in debate=-as in the case
of H. Marshall and John Randolph, and the whie
candidate
He has not been the first to provoke the viola
ton ofl to suppress dueling voted for by him
self, like the whig candidate.
@ He has not, like Henry Clay, been put under
bonds to prevent his headlong passions rushing
tho aid Of his own vote. $751; --,
He has not, like Henry Clay, abused the from
tier settlers as a lawlcss Tabble' better than
thieves, pirates and robbers, denying them the
privilege Of buying wilderness lands, which they
have by hard work made to blossom as the rose
while willing to aid profigate debtors in wiping
out all their debts by Bankrupt law.

But, if you have objection, i should like to ask
you question on the Tariff"
"Certainiy any question you may ask, will

"Well, then, how is it that when imports are
heavily taxed, it affects the farmer I"
"Why, when imports are heavily taxed, as you
call it, the seller must ask heGrier price, II be

who purchases them must still ask higher price,
if he would make any thing on them; and hence,
by the time they reach the farmer the price would
be double what it otherwise would have been had
the tax been low."
"Then, why not have low Tariff ?"
"Because the revenue arising from it would not
be sufficient to defray the expenses Of the Govern

the American people do not import any cotton
they raise enough and to spare; and consequently
the duty on it can have no effect. THIS Mr.. Clay

Hon. JoHs Y Mason,
Secretary Of The Nary
SIR Since the organization Of our Navy no mea.
sure has been adopted calculated do so much good
as that devised by the President and your predeces-
sor, in keeping ships and officers actively employed
at sea- instead Of rottng in harbors abroad The Ell
change Of the Mediterranean squadron with that OF
Brazil and more active employment of our ships on
all stations abroad, strikes at the root of this evil
Dor ships of sailed for station and when there
moored fast in harbor, remain sat,nary for two OF
three years, seldom or never seeing the sea. The
Ohio during her last cruise visited but seven ports du
ring three years. On the coast of Brazil there are
but three ports TO VISIT and have by my side an
officer, who, during three years cruise this sta
ton, passed Tut ihlry-four days at sea. myself
passed month after month in the harbor of Calac
cruising round our anchors IN port.
The recent exchange of stations between the Del
aware and the Columbus, has afforded an opportuni
,y to exhibit both these splendid ships two stations
during their very short cruises and the impression
left on both stations has been most scryiceabe 10 the
nation and the Navy
By intelligence just received here we learn that the
English squsdrons will hereafter be changed in a
similar manner.
As former off.er in the Navy, and after much
travelling abroad, would respectfully suggest to you
the Importance Of these exchanges being kept up
and that more extensive cruising grounds be assigned
to our ships Of war in commission
The education Of officers and seamen with III,
protection of our commerce, the only objects in
having Navy in time Of peace. The former would
be best obtained by visit to the Naval Depos snd
Ars, mails in he'Bsltio, England, Holland and France
This would occupy but little time, while a short run
in the Mediterranean, then touching all along til,
coast Of Africa, and a visit TO the coast Of Brazil
could AL be easily comprised in two years cruise

Hope should crcumna,igate the globe, touching al

abroad protect interest shore while our ships
always on the move, would carry our flags on every

The Old absurd and useless system Of three years
stations, roing our ships and our officers, would he
abolished. A Commodore may remain on each station
shifting his flag to anything anoat while our Nsva
SorekeePers are ready at each depot to furnish
stores whenever required. Trusting that the G hasy

HICKORY POLE RAISING AT FRUIT HILL.
Saturday last, 5th instant the friends Of Democracy
and Gov. Dorr assembled in considerable numbers
at this place, and erected tall, handsome hickory
pole, and raised upon ii beautiful flag, bearing on
the top OF IFS union, in conspicuous figures, lIo'
and upon lis broad folds, Polk, DALLAS, Dom and
LIBERTY.
The arrangements having been judicously made,
this tree Of Liberty raised and embedded, IN a
very short space Of time, and with admirable order.
The meeting was then organized by calling TO the

the earliest possible liberation OF Gov. Dorr from
solitary Imprisonment, and of establishing the prnci-
pies of The Peoples Constitution by carrying the
cases Of Thomas w. Dorr and Martin Luther, the
two marlys Of Liberty, by wit OF error TO the Su-
preme Court of the United States.
Mr. Il. closed by reading the Chepacbet Memorial
and resolutions, The voice from Acotes Hill, appeal
ing the people Of the United States 10 guar
TO the Stale of Rhode Island Republican form OF
y,rnmeDi, instead Of the present despotlsm which
we're unanimously adopted by vote of ayes, and by
reclamation Of three hearty cheers. The President
then read an address to the meeting, replee with
patriotic fervor with sound political principles, and
with the most liberal liberation of opinion, worthy Of
the name and age of Roger Williams. 1t is hoped
that he will favor the press with copy of ii, coming
does from an elderly gentleman who has SO long
enjoyed the confidence Of all parties.
The meeting animated by the best spirit through
out. The ladies made the lag and with the illle
