THE WING TARIFF.

The Wing Tariff, which turned the balance of
trade with England in our favour, last year. to the
amount OF thirteen millions Of dollars, which
she had to pay in hard cash--is also doing well
Tor the revenues Of the Government The re-
ceipts from customs at the port of New ork
from the LIST Of January TO the 10Th of March, a.
mounted to five millions, twenty-nine thousand.
Tour hundred and one dollars. Allowing the re-
ce'pis at all the other ports the Union to be e.
quail to these. they would give revenue for the
year of about fifty millons.-Under any circum-
stances, however, they may be safely estimated
at from thirty to thirty-fve millions. Thus has
the noble ship of State been safely got Off the
breakers on which she had been run by the mis-.
management of Locoiocoism Her credit re-
deemed-her sails filled with the breezes of a reyi-
wing prosper ty, again she bounds upon her course
in the proud career OF glory! Who will not say,

THE BANK Observation-Disclosures.

We propose in the present number, 10 brig our
review of the history of the Bank question TO a
close. Our remarks have already extended much
farther than we had anticipated, when VIC under
took the task. But we trust the inheritance of
the subject, and tho necessity OF correcting the
very general misapprehensions which have pre-
vailed In regard to it, in Virginia. will furnish
sufficient apology for tho tax we have imposed on
our readers. 1t we have succeeded in refutinp
the charge OF Federalism against the Bank, which
constitutes one Of the staplo commodities in
which the Richmond Enquirer deals, we shall
consider ourselves amply repaid for all our labour
and research.
But there ia another cunning device Of the enc
mics OF the Bank, to excite prejudices against it,
which is equally insidious, and no less 1ufound-
cd than the one we have just exposed. We al
inde to the unhallowed attempt to create a sec
tional jealousy against it, as Northern measure,
contrived by the YANKEES, TO pick The pockets of
the Southern people. We cannot suffer this mi
serable attempt to enlist the lowest passions of
our nature, in the contests for party supremacy, to
pass Without exposure and rebuke.
by whom was the bank bill of 1916 passed
Was it by Northern men1 or by the representa-.
t'ves from the other sections Of the Union! lie,

table classifying the votes in the House of Re-
representatives. of the members from every section
OF the Union, for and against the Bank

but still preserving the principle of Protection
Yet, ovea that bill they would not dare to pass.
nor have they any idea of passing it.
The truth is that "Free Trade" is become an
obsolete idea; and its dreamy adheren,s at the
Sou'a must be very innocent indeed, if they cam
not see that their Van Buren, allies have been tri-
hing with them. They have this to console them
however--if they can take from i, any comfort
that the trick which was intended to deceive
them has proved the ruin of its contrivers for
no man. IN the present awakened feeling of the
country can hope TO receive the popular suffrage
Tor the Presidency, whose sentiments are in any
doubt upon this vitality important question.

supreme Court was tho proper tribunal to decide
constitutional questions.
AS the proceedings Of Congress in 1899 are so
fresh In the recollection of the people, we do not
deem it necessary to do more than TO remind them
OF the fact that at that time a democratic Con.
gress passed the bill for re-char,erinp the Bank,
by very decided majorties, in both houses, and
that was defeated by the Veto Of Gen. Jackson,

blow, proclaimed to the world that ga RANK
is CONSTITUTIONAL"
We here close our review of the history of the
Bank. But we shall from time to time furnish
such additional facts and views on the subject as
may seem to us necessary to advance the cause of
Truth, of Justice, and of the Country

MASONIC CELEBRATION.

The Masonic celebration on Thursday last
was one of the most interesting and imposing
which has been witnessed here for years. The
object, as has already been announced, was to
afford TO the brethren o! this and neighborine
lodges an opportunity to testify, in some public
manner, their esteem and regard for the presen,
Grand Master Of the State, ]. WoRTIIrNGToN
SMITH, esq, who is about to remove 10 Missouri,
for the purpose of taking charge of Marion Col
lege, which has recently been purchased and en-
dowed by the Grand Lodge of tina: State, for the
education of the orphan sons of Masons.
There were about sixty of the brethren in Pro-
cession ; and they were favored with the services
of a fine Amateur Band from Lexington.
After parading through several OF the principal
streets, the Procession entered the Methodist T..
Church where very large company Of Ladies
and Gentlemen had already collected.
The ceremonies were opened by the Rev. MIR.
BURGESS, who read portion of Scripture; a
singing Of Hymn.
CHAs. ii. LEWIS, esq. then rose and addressed
the w. Grand Master, on behalf of the brethren,
In speech expressive of their feelings of oblioa-
lion and attachr ent to him, for the zeal, abiltv.
and iaithiulness, with which he had abored for
years, TO promote the prosperity and usefulness
OF The institution, and of their sincere regret at
The separation which is about to take place.
Mr.. Lewis's address was characterized by deem
ieeiing' and great force and elegance of language.
Mr.. SMITH replied at considerable length
dwelling chiefly, however, upon the principles
and objects of the association, and the lovely
fruits 1t was exhibiting, at this time, in different
parts otthe world in the erection of splendid cha
rites, &c.-reserving, Gas he remarked, y for ano
iher time and another place, more particular
response to the sentiments of kindness and attach
ment that had been expressed for him personally.
Ills address was in his usual elegant and poll
ished style, and was listened to with great at
teniion.
W hen Mr.. Smith concluded, another HYMN
was sung, and the ceremonies closed with PRAYER
by the Rev. MIR! BAILEY.
Inc PROCESSION then returned to the Lodge
there, however, we suppose the
are not permitted 10 know.
In the evening, Splendid Supper was given
in the Locge-room, which was graced with the
presence OF large number Of Ladies' The room
had been handsomely decorated for the occasion:
and the scene, 1--WE understand, for we were too
unwell to attend) was one of great brilliancy
and beauty, as well of high enjoyment.
The whole affair has been highly creditabIe TO
The Fraternity-as it must have been grateful TO
The feelings of the friend and brother, whose
worthy character, and devotion.to their order, so
well entitled him TO this parting token of their
esteem and respect.

MI Calhoun arrived in Charleston on the 2Gth
nit.' on his way to Washington, where he was
honored with public reception and entertain
ment. In reply to an address from the Mayor of
Charleston, he spoke Of his call to the State De-
Parlment, with the concurrence of all parties, as
mark of confidence that he might well be proud
OF; and declared that it would be his object, in
administering 1t, to conciliate all 2arties-espe-
cialy in reference to the two delicate and impor-
tant negotiations now pending which he said
were not exceeded in importance by any since
that which ratified our independence.
We learn from the Intelligencer Of Monday
that Mr.. Calhoun has reached Washington.
MIR. Henderson, the Associate Minister from
Texas, said to be empowered TO arrange treaty
oil annexation, has also arrived in Washington.

The Liverpool Chronicle of the 10Th of Feb.
Tuary, expresses its regret, as Mr.. Van Buren, is
understood 10 be in favor of slow Tariff" that
his prospects of election to the Presidency of the
United States are "becoming small by degrees,
and beautifully less.'
Ii this is the feeling of an Engishman, who
would like to see our country again reduced to a
state Of commercial dependence upon Great Brit.
ain, how ought we to rejoice, as Americans, that
more national, patriotic, and enlightened views
OF duty and of interest, begin to acuate our coun-
tymen
That the apprebensions of the keen-sighted
English EDITOR, In regard to the prospects Of his ia
vorI'e, are well founded, none now can wink so
hard as not 10 perceive, whatever they may pre-
tend; and if it were not for the desperate hope
that something may yet be effected by trickery
and deception, we might expect soon to sec the
contest openly abandoned.
The recent resolutions Of the Pennsylvania le-
gislature show how the popular feeling is setting
there; and, in Maryland, since the signal defeat
oil the friends Of MIR. Van Buren, in the late Con-
gressiona elections, the indications are scarcely
less significant. Unable 10 sustain themselves

authority, that the new British minister. Mr..
Packenham, soon after he was accredited here,
passed the Secretary of State disavowal on
the part of the British government of any view
whatever of acquiring Texas, or of interfering
IN airy manner with her independence

his adherents, of the grea! argument by which
they hoped TO drive the country pell-mell in
