Col. Fowler says that the whigs are for a IarD for repenue, a6ordimg incidental pro lection to the mechanic, manufacturer, &c. l presume he thereby means, such Tariff as has been created by the late achig act ct l842. And what have been the effects of this Tariff act? Why, 1t brings an immense reren~e into the pockets 9 the capitalists, who have exten- Sive and splendid manufactures in operation {; but it is imporerishing the people, and bank rupting the government. lthas almost cut oil the great and main source of revenue, reduced the prices of raw materials, the products oi the agriculturists to a mere shadow, and ope- rates as a 5ounty to tue ocedIthy nanutacturer, but as a scoarge to the honest la6orer Col. Fowler has rendered the issue III behalt oi the whigs, to correct abuses at the ballot-box The democracy freely join issue, and will submit to the verdict of the people

A DOUBLE MUPDFR.

Extract of letter from gentleman in Hot Spring county, to friend in this place, dated l6th inst
 s' About two months since, fellow by the name of Meredith shot another by the name of Mccoy, about l2 miles from the Springs, and fled for Missouri When he got to John son county, his horse gave out, and he stole another, was pursued and taken, and lodged in Johnson county jail. At our February court he was indicted for the murder of Me Coy, and our Sheriff went after him, and brought him to the Springs last Saturday, chained him, and employed two men to guard hin. On Thursday, he got possession of the gun belonging to one of the guards, while the guard was temporarily absent, and shot the other guard dead, and made his escape. Quite an interesting young man--don't you think so ?''

JOHN c. CALHoIN

On the 9th instant, the President nominated MIR. CALHOUN for the office of Secretary of State, made vacant by the death of Judge UPsHuR; and the nom- nation was, immediately and unanimously, confirm ed by the Senate. This appointment Was made of conrse, without the knowledge of Mir. Calhoun and without consultation with any of his friends. Al though, therefore, conjecture was active, at Wash ington, it was impossible to form any thing like certain opinion, whether not the great Carolin- ian would accept an appointment which seemed to meet the approval and wishes of all men of all parties One thing however, is certain, in this instance at least every man who loves his country, approves the enlightened choice of President Tyler. Two of the most important questions, involving our foreign relations, now presented for settlement-the an
 nexaton of Texas, and our claim 10 Oregon. To whose hands could the interests and honor of our country be so safely entrusted, as to those of Mir. Calhouns Without disparagement to other States men, We do not hesitate to decllre our opinion that the almost infalbe intellectual resourees-the stern integrty-and the pure and ardent patriotism of Mr
 Calhoun, peculiarly.and prcemneatlr, qualify and require him, at this uncturc of our affairs. for the
 important station to which he has been called from his retirement If the lamented UpsHgR had lived
 he wonld have been sufficient for any esisis But unfortunately, he is lost to our country-her coun- cils are no longer enlightened by his wisdom and

CONGRESS-THE TARIFF.

II will be remembered, by our readers that some time since, the Committee of Ways and Means had been instructed to report Bill in modification of the present Tariff Law (of Is42) reducing the rates of duties, in accordance with the principles of the Con- promise act of 1883. In accordance with these in structons, MT. Mckay, Chairman of the Committee reported Bill on the sth instant. On the day fol- lowing, he made report in connexion with the Bill furnishing illustrative tabular statistics
 The Globe of the sth, says:
 s'When the report was made to-day, the Hon. Dixon H. Lewis moved to suspend the rules, to enable him to make a motion to print extra copies. The Wings objected, and called for the yeas and nays, which resulted-ycas IDS, nays 50. The yeas not being two-thirds of the members present, the rules were not suspended. We have not the yeas and nays before us, but believe 1t was a strict party vote. The Wings do not appear to be willing to enlighten the people on the tarifl.'
 We have received the Bill but have not had time to read it carefully, compare it with the Bill of 1912, for which if is intended as a substitute In our next paper will give either the Bill itself or an abstract of it, with views upon it's merits The report has not yet reached us. So soon as it comes to hand, it shall receive our attention One circumstance in advance, speaks well for the Bill and the accompanying report; they are the work of the democratic majority of the Committee; and the democrats in the House have voted together for printing an extra number of copies whereas the wings have voted together against this proposition, and the whig minority of the Committee have given notice that they will make counter report.
 We hope to the democratic majority in the House acting together man, and doing their duty, in this important matter. The country ex- poets and requires il of them. They have nothing to do with the probable action of the Whig Senate In the language of John c. Calhoun dtty is theirs --the consequences are lcih God

virtue-her action no longer derives dignity and energy from the strength. activity and elevation of his character But while we lament his loss, and revere his memory, patriotism draws consolation from the fact that in him who has been called o fill the chasm in our national councils. painfully created we find who, in all the qualities which we may respect in maa, honor iii statesman, and love in patriot, has no equal in all the world. We earnestly join in the common hope that he will eept the appointment.
 We extract from the Washington papers, the fol- lowing notices of the appointment:
 SECRETARY OF STATE.
 II the moment of putting our paper to press, we learn that AIr. Calhoun, who was nominated to the State Department by the President to-day, las been confirmed by the Senate
 There certainly never was a period in our annals, when a man of eminent abilities and patriotic aims was so necessary to the gov ernment. We have a new representative Of England at Washington; and federalism Is raising it's crest all oyer the country for as sumption and a British bank.
 MT. Calhoun, if he accepts the office, will iittNt It III HIS IloWcl to uO luuCu 9ood loi tio country, and for his own fame. He has not sought the office, directly or indirectly. No friend of his, we understand, has approached the President on the subject Not one of them, we believe, can answer as to the pro bability of his accepting 1t, For the most part, they are n favor of his taking the office.
 We learn that Wilson Shannon, governor of Ohio, has been nominated as minister to Mexico
 It IS rumored that the Hon. John Y. Mason, late a member of Congress, and now United States judge in the eastern district of Virginia, has been nominated as Secretary of the Navy. We are authorized to say that no nomination for Secretary of the Navy has gone to the Senate; but, nevertheless, we think 1t quite probable that Mr. Mason will be nominated.
 Globe, .March 7.
 The Hon. JOHN c. CALHOUN, of South Carolina, was yesterday nominated to the Senate by the President of the United States to fill the office of SECRETARY OF STATE, and, before the Senate adjourned for the day, the nomination was unanimously confirmed.
 This Is an appointment upon which we can conscientiously congratulate the country. However we may have differed from this dis tlnguished citizen on important questions of domestic policy, we are happy i'll the belief that, in the station to which he has been cal led, under circumstances well calculated to flatter an honest pride in him, he will do honor to himself and to his country.

generosity made heran object ofregard and at tachment wherever she was known, while the glow and joyousness of her spirits threw light and hope over the dark realities of life, and its most mortifying disappoinments.- Her understanding and heart were guided and purified by christian faith, love and charity, and she died as she lived, in the practice of all their precepts and duties, and with com posture and resignation, thus furnishing the strongest assurance that can be given, that she has exchanged this mortal and fleeting existence, for peaceful and blessed mmor- talifN

PENNSYLVANIA IN THE FIELD.

The Democracy of Pennsylvania met, in State Convention, at Harrisburg, Monday the 4th inst, The following nominations made.
 MARTIN VAN BUREN, for President
 RIDHARD M. JOHNSON. tor tice Prsident.
 HENRY A. MUHLENBURG. for Governor
 of Pennsylvania.
 The State generally and numerously repre- sented; and great unanimity of purpose and harmo- ny of feeling, characterized the proceedings of the Convention.
 Thus, it will be seen, another fond hope of the Hhigs has been blasted. They had made large cal culations upon what they pleased to predict of the dissatisfaction ana division among the Democrats of Pennsylvania because they could not procure the nomination of MT. Buchanan. This movement of the Democrats themselves, shows them in their true position, without dissatisfaction and without dvsion but in solid column, shoulder to shoulder with col ors flying, and hearts resolved on victory over the common enemy. This is but another declaration of our principle of action-s'The good of our country and to attain which, we go for ssMEAsUREs, not MEN" True, we love and honor our Men-our patriotic Statesmen who know and maintain our principles;-and we reward them whenever the well fare of our country admits of it; but we love our country still more than we do men, and never hesitate how to choose when their interests conflict IL is our county-our whole couutly-dnd notliag but our coaatIy,-in whose cause are engaged, and for whose interest striving and whenever this and this interest require it of us no mat ter at what sacrifice of personal predilection we lay aside any one man, set of men, and take up any other, for the sake of our principles.

FROM WASHINGTON

As the following letter, received from Col. SEWER contains matters of interest to many of readers we take pleasure in laying it before them:
 WASHINGTON, March 9th, ls44
 DEAR SIR,-Mr Calhoun, the great Caro- linian, as he IS now commonly designated, was, on this day, nominated to the Senate, for the vacancy in the State Department, and that nomination, within few hours after, was confirmed by the Senate. His acceptance of the office, however, is uncertain 1t was bestowed upon him, as it has been stated and Is understood, without the knowledge or so- licitation of either himself or any intimate personal friend But if he can sec a fair prospect of amicably adjusting our Oregon controversy; if he should conclude, as I ,,ow think he will, that he can strengthen his idolized southern, but weaker, portion of the coniederacy, by bringing Texas into the Union, as Mir. Jefferson did the Mississippi river and Louisiana; if he can prevent the palpable evasion, by British authorities, of certain clauses in the Washington treaty, upon the subject of runaway negro cuipsiis, to the British Atlantic Islands, in the vicinity of our coast, or to the British Provinces of North America; and. lastly, if he should believe that he can, through the medium of friendly negotiations, and for fair equivalents, based upon the principles of free trade, which he so well understands and so justly values, procure admisslon, into foreign markets, of our bread-stuilss provisions, and other agri- cultural products. as well as the great south ern staples of rice, cotton and tobacco, all of which, heretofore, in great measure;
