VAN BUREN, AND THE TARIFF
OF 1928.

In order 10 screen Martin Van Buren
from the odium attached to his vote on the
tariff of '2S. we are continually referred to
the instructions of the New YORK l.ecisia-
ture Now, we deny most positively, that
those instructions had reference directly to
the bill of abomina,ions,' for which he did
vote; and, also, deny that he was in the least
degree influenced by these instructions
A contemplated change in the tariff of
"a, voted fol- by Martin Van Buren,, produ
ced great excitement IN the State of ". Y.
in '27, and as earl as July 81 we find Mr..
Van Buren making speeches in favor of
ample protection to all home MANUFACTURES.
Contending that the duties of "a were not
sufficient, arousing the sympathies of the
people, by stating that he himself had in
vested $4,000 in sheep, and that high
duty on wool and woolens. was indispensi-
bic to his pecuniary salvation. Under this
excited state of feeling on the subject the
Legislature in the following January, pas
sed resolutions instructing their Senators
and Representatives in Congress to sustain
such measures, as were calculated 10 give
ample protection to home industry. Now,
were these resolutions passed for the
purpose of influencing Van Buren, or
to show to the country at large. the position
of New York on the tariff question With
the knowledge the Legislature of N Y
had of Van Buren's sentiments on this SUBJ
ject. it would have been a perfect farce to
pass instructions for his immediate bene-
fit Had he not been instrumental in indu-
cling the Legislature of n Y, to pass such
resolutions, had he ever openei his
mouth in opposition to solitary detail of
that abominable bill, and had he not had
$4,000 worth of sheep at stake there might
have been some doub: relative to his true
position at that time, but as it is, no reason
able man will doubt for a moment that the
bill met with his entire appreciation, and
that the vote he gave upon it, was given
with as much pleasure as any vote he ever
gave This never was denied until an op-
posite view was thought to be more produc-
live of political capital.

CONGRESS.

In the Senate, on the 5th number OF
memorials, in favor of the existing tariff,
were presented and referred Buchanan
alone presented fifteen from Pennsylvania
Mr.. Bayard called up the bill "explana-
tory of the act regulating the pay of the ma
Wy" The bill provides that officers and
crews of vessels, which may be wrecked
shall be compensated, provided court mar
tlal decide that such wreck was not caused,
by negligence-At the request of Mr..
Buchanan, it was laid aside till the follow
ing day
Mr.. Evans offered resolution, which
lies over. calling on the President to COM
munlcate any correspondence that NAV
have taken place between this Government
and that of Great Britain relative to the an
nexatlon of Texas. The President is call
ed upon to communicate whether there has
been any attempt on the part of Great Brit
ala to interfere In any way 1t is understood
that the principle Information called for is
the despatch of Lord Aberdeen, which was
laid before the President at the time Sir E,
Packenham presented his credentials. This
despatch will officially prove that Great
Britain desires no political connection with
Texas. All she wants is a commercial al
lance
Several memorials agains. .he annexation
OF Texas were presented and referred.

KONNECTICUT
FOR KLAY.

If we did not shout and throw up our old
white hat when we heard the re-
suit Of the Connecticut elections, it was
because we were so charmed we could not
move Our qualification was of two fold
nature; first. on account of the success of
whig principles; and secondly, on account
OF the utter failure of those tremendous and
unhallowed efforts, made by the locos
throughout the land to carry that State St.
Amos will have TO write few more articles
denouncing the saveholding Clay, to be
used in the free states, and southern men at
Washington must be a little more liberal
with their money and the franking privi-
lege to disseminate his pious eflusions among
the non Shareholders of the Norih, or the
country will never be governed by the scep-
tire of the Underwood sage.
The following are the results ofthe elec
lion.

ASEcpoTE OF HENRY CLAY.-The
writer OF this, who in 1906 was an appren-
tice to the bricklaying business, was enga-
ged in building MIR. Clay's house at Ash
land and while most mechanics, IN those
days, were, by the wealthy and purse proud,
treated but little better than negIoes-l
shall never forget his respectful and kind
treatment towards his woI kmen, whom he
seemed to consider as equals, and Jared as
we'll as his own family.
remember one day that an old revolu-
tionary soldier. who was Il stranger there,
had got drunk. and fell down before Mr..
Claws gate. where he lay IN a perfectly
senseless state, like a brute; and as there
was storm coming up, some one mention
ed the fact to Mr. Clay. He Immediately
went to the old man, and with his own
hands dragged him into his house-had
him washed, cleaned up, and put to bed.
The next morning at breakfast, Mr.. Clay
addressed the old man In the most affection
ate and touching manner-telllng him that
such was the reverence he ielt tor those
who had fought for our liberties, that he
could not bear to see them lessen that res
pect by getting drunk-that he could not
but feel an everlasting gratitude towards
him, and all Others who purchased at so
dear a rate, the liberties which we all enjoy
that he would not object to an old soldiers
taking an occasional dram but he begged
him for his own sake, and for the sake of all
those who had won our Liberties. never to
get drunk again. He then gave the old
man some money and sent him home to his
friends.
Mr. Clay'S sympathy and kindness for
the errors of this old revolutionary soldier,
will never be gotten by an old BRICK

TEXAS PRISONERS.

Two of the Texas prisoners, who had
been confined in the castle of Perote, arrl-
we'd in Mobile last Wednesday, The Mo
bile Advertiser of Thursday, says:
They were liberated some fifteen days
or three weeks since, one of them, lsreal
CaufeId, at the intercession of Hon. John
Quincy Adams, and the other, d. G. Ogden,
at the instance ofthe Mexican Consul in
New Orlerns The former was taken pris-
oner at Meir. and the latter at San Anton
10 de Baxar They left Vera Cruz on the
22d ult, on the U. S. brig Somers for Pen
saccla. This vessel was blown off TO sea
on Friday mig ht last, when almost in sight
of her port OF destination. The night before
last, however, she had come so far back on
her route as to fall in with a pilot boat from
this, about 25 miles offthe bar. Three of
the passengers on the Somers. the two per-
sons mentioned above and r. Williamson
embarked on the Pilot forMobile.
1--WE learn from Mr. Garfield, that the
r1mor of the proba bl e release of ali the
Texan prisoners in Mexico is entirely with.
out undation-that there was some pro.
liability of the release of The San Antonio
prisoners, but very little chance for any of
the rest. We make this statement especial
ly. because the friends of the other prison
ers in this country and elsewhere, under the
beliefthat they will be speedily set at liberty,
many withhold from them such aid as
might be Of essential service to. them in their |
wretched and cherries captivity.
