Ecw is he affected by this distribution system2 We
have seen that he is Benefited to the amount Of ST. But

State in the UPion and 10 every Individual in every
STATE only varying in proportion to the amount Of dis

tances AMI Ideiy successful contradiction Then this
disribuiop system is beneficial to the rich and oppres
sive to the poor. -
It is said that the poor has reward for this nqn
y in the effect Of the distribution system, in the addi
onal empoyment WHICH he gets by the high tariff and
protective system. II So that reward is neurazed by
the high price which he has to pay for everything that
lie consumes which he does not produce himself Blu,
it is said that high protective duties lower the price Of
foreign and domestic goods That statement is either
true or false true the duties should be higher and
we would get goods for nothing But it is alse and not
one but fool or knave would make such an asser-
tion The avowed object the present oppressive tar
if is TO protect domestic manufactures but high duties
make lower prices what becomes OF protection? high
duties produce prices it is system intended to plum
der all who are not manufacturers for the benefit o
those who do manufacture 1t has been urged that the
protective system gives employment 10 hundreds and
thousands Of poor destitute girls r the eastern and
ufacturing States who could not otherwise get employ
ment That is no reason for the existence Of policy
which violates the original compact between the States
and the general government, and oppresses thousands
where it benefits tens. If there are poor girls in the
East let them be sent West, where there is demand
for girls. They all get husbands IN the West, who
will relieve them from poverty and destitution. They
can all get men for husbandsaen who can fulfil all the
purposes OF husbands their husbands shall be not
things but men, not waspwaised coxcombs and tight
laced soap-lock dandes. They may not have the quail
fcations of handing lady seat, presenting her hand
kerchef unurng her parasol swinging her in the gid
dy waltz, or turning the coon with as good a grace
as an eastern ape Of the fashionable circles but they
will be men with good hearts, and more brains than
whiskes though hey may not be ornamented upon the
surface of the inferior maxillary with the mperal spot
nor have the external surface Of the superior organs OF
speech mounted with pair of musaches; yet they will
have manly faces, indicating sound head g. an aec
tionate heart.

LOOK AT THIS AND MARK 1T DOWN

AS many OF the unprincp!ed and reckless whig pres
ses have denied their identity with the Native American
Church Burners we take the following admissions from
the New York Tribune:
9Let us resate the facts There were three parties in
the fisd last Spring the whgs the American Republi.
ems, and locofocos. The American Republican, cam
didate for Mayor was an avowed consistent Clay man
far as the Presidency is concerned 1t was certain
that the regular whg ticket could not succeed and thai
lha Native might The wings were every where urged
to vote for Mr. Harper as an unexceptionable man,
good whig and pledged 10 City Reform" ..,..
The Tribune also says.
'We differ from the Natives entirely as 10 thet1 dis
tinctive Objects thoush we believe them as party SIM
cere and honest But is likely that protesting such
determined hostility to the rule of Foreigners they wilk
vote to admit whole nation of Foreigners mostly of
undesirable oharacttra once to citizenship and power
among usl" -'
Here is distinctly admitted, firstly that the Native
Church Burning Mayor was consistent Clay mani
mark it, an "avoIved CONSISTENT CLAY NAN"
Secondly, that the wings "were every where urged 10
vote for Mr. Harper, a DwHtG,' NC
Thirdly, that they are tsinosre and holest~ We
suppose the bgoted s and fBgOp burners at the stake
Of all ages could boast Of the same sincerity and hon

You are truly informed that we were once, but are no
longer members of the whig party; but whether we are

coming political contest but what influence possess

We were, in 1910 wings, andone of US rabid whig.
The reasons which have induced us to desert that par
y are not entirely disconnected from the means used
by them 10 obtain the election OF Harrison The wings
fought upon non-committa grounds, and each section
of country fought as were for its principles but
no where during the contest did any man. or set of men
avow, that the establishment of a United States Bank
was to be brought about by be election Of Harrison
We have never been and can be- in favor Of such
an institution nor can we vote for one who is its known
advocate. The whig party being now in favor of it.
cannot receive our support.
Al this time, we will only mention, the cry OF Ma
tiosa debt the Ogle lies the appropriation for the Pres
dents house upon Harison's election, and the hue a.
ganst Tyler for vetong the first bank bil as reasons
why we have left the whig party.

DEMOCRATIC PRINCIPLES AND
WHIG MEASURES CONTRASTED.

Every Democrat should be ready at
all times, "to give reason for the faith
that is in him., 1t is not enough al
ways to be right, to feel sure that you
are right, but it is necessary sometimes
to be able to tel. the why and the be-
cause. Let US then, in quiet and ia
miliiar way, advert to some ofthe prom
inent topics, upon which the two par
Ties differ; and we wish to be under
stood now, as speaking of the great
mass or majority of each party, and
the men of moderate opinions. Ultra
Wings are rank federalists, while ultra
Democrats are the reverse, going for
sthe largest liberty" and sometimes far
above the probabilities of the times.
There is sufficient striking difference
between the masses of moderate men
ofboth parties. Even these are wide,
almost as the poles, asunder.
: The first question upon which we
after is that of National Bank. Mr..
CIav and the Wings generally are, for
establishing great Central Bank, in
Connection with the General Govern
ment. The Wings kept this out of
s;oht as much as possible, during the
1ast presidential campaign, in which
thew used every available means to
hind the people to their real objects;
Int as soon as they were IN power,
thev passed bill to charter such an
institution; ~; and nothing saved us from
i but the frmness of Mr.. Tyler, who
ooDld not have signed the bill, without
s sot;no contrary to all his formerly ex-
n a opinions. Mr.. Clay, during
rocent Southern tour, upon sever

National Bank, and SAID that We must

THE RIOTS.

The plain truth is this. The "Na-
tive american" party in this city is
now divided into two distinct factions
the one composed IF intelligent, dis
Greet, sensible men; who are sincere in
Their advocacy ofreform, and desire to
accomplish it by legitimate and peace
able means-the other Of the dregs OF
Society, bent upon murder and mis-
chief, the destruction of property, the
sacrifice Of life, and especially devoted
to the humiliation Of the Roman Cath
olics and the CONFEDERATION Of their re-
lie1ous temples. This latter portion
form, unfortunately, the more active
body of the new party; and encourag-
ed by one or two organs of misrule
which constantly, though coyertly, urge
them to deeds of violence, has placed
itself at length, in direct and murder
Gus opposition to the laws, and the
military force detailed to maintain the
supremacy Of the government.
Thus it stands. On Sunday the
contest-a rather quiet one was gen
orally between these two divisions OF
the SNative Americans" the one de-
string to destroy the Church of St.
Philip de Neri, and the other battleing
to preserve it from destruction IN order
to maintain for the party a character
for the love of law and order From
the first moment to the last, neither the
Irish nor the Catholics have been en-

$4,000, 1000 year, by indirect taxa
ton; that is, BY duties, although in this
way the poor pay much more than the
rich, especially as the Wings have fix
ed it so as to make the very articles the
poor man uses, pay the highest duties,
while the luxuries of the rich come in
comparatively free-and it has been
agreed that the benefit of these duties
should be given to protect the manu-
featuring interests of the country
That is, when we buy an article that
is imported, we give few cents Or dol
lars, over its cost, to the general gov
eminent, Or, ifmade here, to the man
ufacturer, and to a certain extent, this
may be good policy. So far, both par
ties generally agree. But the Wings
cannot be satisfied with the just and
reasonable protection or premiums,
which Democrats are very willing to
pay; but in order to build up few
manufacturing interests, they have
crippled our commerce, almost cut off
our report trade, and under pretence of
afording home market, have reduced
the price of flour, pork, beef, lard, but
ter, ashes, and all the great farming
staples of the country, actually redu
ced the wages of labor, produced
strikes all overthe country, and brought
abouta state fittings just the reverse
Of what they promised. twill DO to
60 just SO far in this matter, but with
this the Wings are never satisfied
They push every thing to extremes,
and so spoil every thing. The Dem
ocrats would have a fair, proper, regu-
lar and permanent system Of revenues
and protection under which every inter-
est would flourish, but the Wings drive
On to extravaganza and ruin in every
thing they undertake, and need a con-
slant check.
So much this week. We shall dis
cuss these matters with candor, for we
feel sure that if they are only properly
understood, our principles and cause
must triumph.

THINGS THAT CHANGE.

BY MRS HEMANs.
Knowest thou that seas are sweeping
Where cities once have been
Whenfthe calm wave is sleeping,
Their towers may yet be seen;
Far down below the CLASSY tide
Mans dwellings, where his voice hath
died.
KnoweSt thou that fiocls are feeding
Above the tonbs of old,
Which kings, their armies leading,
Have fingered to behold?
A short, smooth greensward Ger them
spread
Is all that marks where heroes bled.
Enowest thou that now the token
OF temples once renowned,
Is but pillar, broken,
With GLASS and wall flowers crowned!
And the lone serpent rears her voting
Where the triumphant Tyre hath sungl
Well, well, | know the story
OF ages passed away,
And tho mournful wrecks that glory
Has left to duh decay.
But thou hast yet tale to learn
More full of warnings sad and stern.
Thy pensive eye but ranges
Ger ruined fame and hall,
OH the deep soul has changes
More sorrowful than all.
Talk not, while these before thee throng
OF silence in the place Of song.
See scorn-where love has persisted;
Distrust-where friendship grew;
Pride-where once nature cherished
All tender thoughts and true!
And shadows Of oblivion thrown
Ger every trace Of idols gone.
Weep not for tombs far scattered,
For temples PROSTATE laid
In thine own heart lie shattered
The affairs it had made.
Go, sound its depths in doubt and fear
Heap up no more its treasures here.
