Good !! and right +!

foh THE MADIsokiAN.
MR. EDITOR by a calculation recently published
1t is made to appear that the calling of the yeas and
nays cost the nation at the last session of the House
of Representatives, the sum of eighty -ope thous and
one hundred and sxy-eight dollars and seventy five
cents 1t is stated that the yeas and nays were cali
ed three hundred and ifly-one times which allow
ing twenty-five minutes the average time required
Tor each calling produces the result above stated
The actual lime consumed, however, is believed to
be nearer thirty than twenty-five minutes
About four years ago memorial prepared to
be presented to Congress- proposing the adoption by
the House of machine, the details of which had
by means of which the whole transaction might be
completed in less than two minutes, ach member
touching one of two Knobs connt cted with his desk
by which the vote yea or nay would be simutane-
ousy recorded opposite each members name by means
OF printing press up the Clerks table. The me-
mortal in question not presented, but the trans
actions of the late have revived the idea and
it will probably be brought forward at the next meet
ing of the body. The actual saving of time effected
by the aid Of such instrument will not be its only
recommendation, but it will probably have the effect
also of causing the call to be made with less requen-
cy, as it is now resorted to- fgenera opinion be cor
rect, for the purpose of stavng OF questions by
Stunning time and worrying the members of the
House.
The machine above referred to would SUI ersede the
practice Of voting by tellers, and would, on all occa
sons, where vote taken, give the same result
as that which is obtained by the calling of the
yeas and nays, and that with unerring ny-tha
is, all votes of the house would be accurately re
corded
And would not this saving and accuracy of record
ing the votes be desirable desideratum. This |
leave to the tax paying part Of the community, and
the applicants that are prosecuting long delayed
claims.

of the land, have been sacrificed purely for the
soDs that Mr. Tyler should not have the merit OF be-
ing the agent who obtained them.
Mr.. Tyler has been traduced, vii flied with nearly
all the epthets TO be found in the yocahulary-he has
been threatened with impeachment--being charged
With being traitor TO his country, and a recent
occasion, been charged with the crime Of piracy
anu IN distinguishing spirit, the officers of the army
and navy have been warned, from a high place, to
beware how they obey the orders of President Tyler
lest some twenty years hence, they may be tried
therefor and be condemned TO be shot by court
martial.
These few OF the obstacles and difficulties
thrown in the way of Mr.. Tyler, which he has had
to encounter while engaged in the administration of
the affairs Of Government. These some Of the
assaults made on his char acter, and traducemens he
has been called to experience. But they have been
the acts Of unprincpled politicians and far
CARDS Mr.. Tyler's future fame and character have
fallen harmless at his feet.
The PEOPLE have at all times reposed the fullest
confidence in Mr. Tyler; and it is that confidence
thai has sustained him while it has been exultngly
proclaimed that he was without party. The Peo-
pie have known Mr.. Tylers motives to be patriotic,
and his purposes to be pure and honest and gave him
their confidence, and will never, without good and
just cause, Withdraw it. They will uphold and de-
fend the "accdenta' President for the blessings
which have been showered upon them during his ad-
mnistration.

treaty with China, has been quite as great as any
France derived from the possession of Belgium (the
Netheradns) and the extension of her frontiers to

1t In the nature OF things that she will stop herea-
Ambition one of those passions which .timula
ted not satiated by indulgence. And this nation has
been habtually ambitious, habituay fond of war,
and polite in council"
What are her consus, under her Instructions to
her diplomatic and consular agents to make particu
lar Inquiries with respect to the condition of our
slave population, but "mitiary spies in ssaports,
under the character Of commercial agents"
DO we now understand, unless wifuly blind,
her anxiety to prevent the anne xation of Texas,
since the publication of the letter of her envoy
Texas to Mr.. Jones and are we at loss to know
what agency she has been using with Mex leo to pre-
vent peace with Texas, but upon the condition of the
abolition of slavery there
But philanthropy is the basis of all these move
ments, and ought quietly to submit to the serious
nconveniences they may entail u.s. because Of the
great ends of general good which 10 be secured
by them! The millennium is to commence under the
auspices of the British monarchy by the abolition of
slavery $50 says Mr.. Adams-lndeed! why has

jeweled turban with a smile of peace, or do we
grind her stili?" Has this millennium begun in her
own West India islands, or are there any near
signs of its approach there'
If the design of Great Britain to monopolise the
sugar and cotton trade, through India and Texas
could be realised, what advantage would philanthropy
see in the distress, impoverishment and consequent
depopulation of the Southern States: The same
benefit precisely that resulted to the inhabitants of
India from the half. starved labor of England aided
by improved machinery and new commercial law, in
turning out Of employment 10000 Hindoos in but
one district of that country and numbers in other
parts, and actually starving many of them TO DEATH
If, then upon The principles of British statesmen,
which beyond doubt they would still assert, how
inconsistent soeyer in some points their conduct may
be with them, we should be justified in waging war
for the conduct of England towards us, were there
no other means to avert its consequences, assuredy
the peaceful precautionary measure of annexation
was, and is, most strictly defensible.

Circumstances of the existing crss, cannot, without
serious nquletude, see any part OF the said territory

occupation of the said territory; they, at the same
time, declare, that the said territory shall, in their
hands remain subject to future negotiation. "

1880 and thus to place in the hands of another
foreign and rival power-a possession more dan
gefous TO all our western well as southern IN
terests and commerce than Cuba herself-Cuba,
which, for twenty years, has been publicly tabooed
by our Presidents and secretaries from all foreign
interference.
ii we postpone at ALL then let ask to what time
to what 4th OF July TO wait for the occupa-
tion OF this as OF the northeastern territory since
lost! Our people are as acquisiive in their propen-

Hence, when peaceful restorations Of what once
our Own, and from its great value and importance
should never have been parted with, offered,
they would hardly justify that procrastnation which
may again be the thief to rob them Of the prize.
The instincts OF great people also seldom
wrong; and those of have long run in the chan
mel of sympathy for the down-trodden- especially
their own relatives and neighbors- attachment to
those daring to be free, and knowing what conf
dence, courage, and strength, were inspired into
fathers in their struggle for independence by the
Kindness and appreciation of others, they will always
be true to those instincts and far as JUSTICE honor
and right, may warrant; which they are believed TO
do here--immediate annexation, they will march
tearlessly up to the line Of duty.
If we look further, the dominion of the whole
American continent will be seen to be at stake
Shall it rest in America in small island on the
coast Of Europe? Shall it be in republic or q
monarchy In us and our posterty, or in our OPP
pressOr and rival?

commerce of both worlds--on what does it chiefly
depend and where and whence shall it flow. I'M

These apprehensons are so far from being vision
