bankrupts, monoyod men and spcculators to

" The fact Of the election of VIM. II. Harrison,
0ithout reference to the measures Of lis admiais-
hdtion, will powerfully contribute 10 the securi-
ty and happiness of the people. 1t will bring
assurance Of the cessation of that long series Of
disastrous experiments, which have so greatly
afflicted the people. Confidence 1biH Immediate

and prosperity. y

revenue, and shall certainly never favor the idea
of Free trade. A tariff for revenue must, in the
nature Of things, also operate, TO a certain ex-
tent, as a Protective Tarif--it is inevitable; and
this protection, which incidentally grows ont Of
revenue, is all that is needed, and all the Demo
cracy advocate.
The iederalsis occupy a rather dubious posi-
tion on this question, at prcsent.-In the North
they appear to think that the whole salvation Of
the country depends upon the adoption of a pro
tective tariff, and the friends of lhe measure as
sert that Henry Clay is their protective cham
pion, and that in the event he is elected, and
they have a majority in both branches of Con
gress, such tariff they will certainly pass. On
the contrary, the supporters of MIR. Clay in the
South claim him to be more of a Free Trade
man than Mr. Van Buren,, and take MIR. Clay's
own speeches and letters made and written in the
south as the basis of their opinion.
Now, suppose the country would adopt such
a protective tariff as the Northern coons advo-
cate, how would it operate? 1t would unqucs-
tionably operate as PrOhi6itory tariff, and these
evils would necessarily rcsult--there would be
a falling off in the revenue, and to meet the de-
mands Of government, either direct taxation OIL
ltho still worse expedient of borrowing, would
have 10 be resorted to--thereby either draining
our pockets, Or increasing our national debt
And who would it protect? Not the agricum
raj classcs--for the fcderasts, as experience has
proven, never legslato for them. Not the me
chanical and working classes; for their interests
are never looked after by coon politicians. Blu
it would protect the wealthy manufacturers
whose only labor consists in counting rag none,
and drawing bills of exchange!
/ Well, on the other hand, suppose the countr,
adopted such tariff as the Southern coons ad
vocate, and with them, as they claim, Mr. Cla,
also; that is, uniform duties of 30 per cehtum
as fixed by the Compromise Act, and which Mr.
CLAY says in his letter to Mr.. Merrwether, o
Georgia, should be adhered to--how would 4
operate? 1t would not only be grievously or
presSWe, SO far as some articles are concerned
but would also fail TO afford either revenue G
protection, as regards other items &c. thai
viewing either of the systems of the Janus-face
party, in any form you please, they would fail t
meet the expectations ofthe people.

The federal wings have done every thing in
their power to court the support of the Aboli-
tionists. Bctimcs they have pofessed as much
love for them as Damon ever did for Pythias
Then again they would coax and soft soap them
But now what do the coons do? No epithet in
the vocabulary of Bllingsgale is too severe
for them to apply TO the third party" And
why ?--Nlerely because the Abolnionists do not
choose to support political weathorcock, ia
nus-faced demagogue, a stakeholder and duel
list, for the Presidency!
At meeting of the Clay Club of Cadz, on
last Friday evening, young federal spoutor,
from Guernsey county, blackguarded the Aboli-
tionists to all intents and purposes and among
other harsh cpithets, declared that THEIR MO
TIVE POWER WAS PERJURY, AND THEIR
ALLY WAS THE DEVIL" This part of his
speech was received with laundering applause
| by every whig and whigling present. After the
orator delivered himself Of this precious NOR
ceau, he called out for a little more hard cider,
so as to wet his whistle, and enable him TO blow
another loud blast against the Liberty Party
There is going to be lots of fun ahead!

A few Thoughts for the eEpinking.
/" FREE TRADE. /"


You cannot open Federal paper but that you
find in it something like this: "the whig party
advocate tariff for protection, while the loco
focos arc in favor Of free trade" Now, this is
presenting an issue to the country, which is false
in theory, and false in fact-We defy the most
ingenious and sagacious writer in the federal
party to show from the democratic papers, or
from democratic speeches, that the democracy
of the county have, at any time, advocated un-
conditionally, the policy of Free Trade. The
idea is prepostorous, and carries its own rcluta-
tion with it.
What we understand by the term Free Trade
is this, TO open our ports to receive the commodi
ties of all foreign nations, without imposing any
duty on them.
All agree that means are required to keep the
wheels of government i'll motion. Every man,
who receives the benefits of government, and
lives under our constitution and laws, is bound
TO contribute his quota towards the support of
will tell you that there arc only two ways by
which revenue for the support Of government,
can be raised-frst, by tariff imposed on the
products Of foreign countries; or second, by di-
rect taxation. In principle, there is but little
difference between the two systems, Both have
the same object in view, viz: repenuc--the one
that we shall do away with all tariffs, and adopt
the Free Trade system, presupposes that we
have concluded TO resort 10 direct taxation. Il
can be viewed in no other light We are moi
aware that any party or individual ever proposed
resorting to direct taxation. Certainly the dem
ocrats have not; and what the views of federal
coons are, nobody can tcll--for they are "al
things by turns and nothing long''--alI things t.
all rnen-blowing hot and cold in the same
breath
There is a tax or tariff on every article Of for
eign Importation, and this tax is paid by the con
sumer or person purchasing the article. The
importer in the first place pays tariff tax to gov
eminent for revenue purposes, say 30 per cent
ad palorem; that is, 80 cents on every dollar
In the next place the wholesale dealer pays the
importer an advance, which adds to the tax pait
by the consumer; and again, the retail merchant
in our towns and villages pays another advance
to the wholesale dealer, which operates as an adj
ditional tax TO the consumer. This is plain a,
the light of day. Thus, every article consumed
which is brought TO our country from foreign
countries, is taxed, say from so to $50 per cent
Now, R this tax Or tariff was of, every citizer
would pay but one-half the price he now does fol
the article he consumes. But then he woulc
have TO pay the same amount, directly, to sup
port the government--so that in fact, in the end
he would not be benefited by one system more
than the other
Our country has adopted the system ofraisinl
revenue by imposing tariff on foreign fabrics
and as j has wisely mot tho expectations Of oul
Legislators and citizens at large, we, for one
shall not advocate any oihor system of raising

0ET Gen. Hamilton, of Alabama, formerly of
South Carolina, whose letter lauding Henry
Clay, has been going the rounds of the coon
sheets, has come out in the New Orleans papers
in favor of the annexation of Texas, and in reply
TO letter Of Mr. Webster. He talks daggers at
the opponents of the measure, and supports him
self on this ground-that if Texas is not to be
admitted into the Union because it is populated
by shareholders, it is because shareholders are
not fit to belong to it. lfthis be so, if the North
regard the people Of tho South as degraded
caste, and tolerate their connection with the
Union, on the principle of mere sufferance, then
the South had better come out from the Union;
or at least vindicate its dignity and political
equality in the confederation by insisting that
Texas shall be admitted, if the refusal of her
.oyertures is TO be based on this question of sla-
very on her borders.

SUcH GOOD oNE!-The federel papers are
beginning to soft soap the old Jackson men and
if possible try TO get them TO cast their surages
against MIR. Van Buren. Why, that's enough to
make horse laugh! Who does not remember
how theseyery same politicians poured out trades
of perpetual abuse against the Hero Of New
Orleans, few years ago; and the icosrt thing
they could say against Mr.. Van Burcn, was, that
he followed in Gen. Jackson's footsteps! We
suppose, too, that Henry Clay will be courtno
the old Jackson men TO vote for himself, on the
ground that he prayed that the Almighty mi Oh
send "war, pestilence, and famine, or any Other
scourge," rather than Gen. jackson should be
elected President! "oh, shame, where is thy
blush!"
