NOngfCSSlOnQI BARRYToN, Ala, July 25, 1S45. GentIemcn-Yesterda, the candidates for Con- gress spoke at Bladcn Springs, Col Dunn leading
 in long argument to show the necessity of tariff,
 in support of which he nrrayed host of iustI Iious
 names-and in this matter he had the whole field as no one was at issue with him. He worked it out | that protection would make fine market for our grain, &c., and launched off into 1ourishing pat
 riotism, saving that whiggery went in for sustaining the interest of North and SOuh-wouid provide en-

 in favor of the distribution oi ihe proceeds ol the
 public laads, and iold.he people they would be re-

 pectve taxation if the measure was consummaled. The Col disposed of the Texas question in word .
 saying tue matter was settled, and he yielded 10 the will of the people, &c
 Judge Dargnn followed, and in his happy lucid | style. fully used up the champion of whiggery--
 showing Concusvely that the tariff of AZ bore equally H5on different classes oi the people; and. !.
 that without increasing the revenue of lhe Govern-
 meut. the tariff being prohibitory of articles. He decared himself uuequvocaily in favor of an ad vabIem tariff, discriminating only in favor of he | poore, classes go as to make taxes bear equally. After which he passed 10 the consideration of the
 distribution of the proceeds of the public lands. and
 arged hat the cessiono them contemplated only that heproceeds should be used as conr on fund by the l U. 5.

of industry, with all the concomitant evils following both the acte of promoting the one and desiroying the other. 1T such system could be long pursued, it would be found that the contributors 10 the fund had all joined the company of the distributes, with nothing left among them but the grosest vices.
 Ths natural and unavoidable result of multiplying quantity is to diminish value. as we'll of the clrcu- latmg currency as any thing else of an exchangeabe valne. Stock jobbers, bankers, manufacturers and foreign importers constantly engaged in causing a Arrangement of value, or in altering the measure of value. They deal largely, and the more they Can reduce the valne of the money of others, the higher price they get for their stocks and merchandise.- The reduclIon is accomplished by multiplying the quantity of the circulating currency. The General Government aids them in taxing the people for a fund to be deposited m banks to supply dabblers, dealers, foresta ers and speculators, in what the directors have to sell and the people need to buy, and to raise their price. The State Governments aid them m permitting them 10 make many paper of value they please, 10 deptecI- ate the value of those which producers and others receive for their products earnings. Legislaiu issue State stocks under pretence another to serve the people. which the banks buy and pay with the same batch of notes which they redeem in draw. ing drafts the proceeds of ihe stocks sent t0 Flu rope for sale. The effect oi distributing the sales of public lands, piedging the peoples future earnings 10 pay principal and interest of stocks issued; col leagung of members of Congress to expend la ge in the different States for what they call i'm proveInents; or, squaadering the hard earnings of the industrious, wresied from the by indirect tax atlon in any other way, is to proporonately di- minish the value of the peoples earnings which are left to them, as may be in the rise of price oi what the managers behind the curtains have sell, rather the fa Il of the value Of the money means which the people possess opurchase their supplies with.
 The wire pullers or profit receivers, both abroad and al home, urge our bg statesmen in it'll cry for bank tariff, distribution and inprOutments al the peoples expense, and the little staesmen follow on in the trail, without either the big the little knowing the end of what they are driving at.

ly sense of inleriorily There is no sense in the preference of Martin as the "abler or better" man than Terry, except that Martin belongs to the dy, nasty of the bar and is of powerful family and par ty connexions; whlle Terry IS only plahter, self made oan of vigorous mind, large heart and enter. prising spirit, but who from humble beginnings has raised himself to wealth and an extent of popularity that has disturbed the compacencY of the 'rsl class families"
 Upsn the whole, the issue between Terry and Martin personally may be left to the judgement Ol the people, upon the case candidly stated. we have endeavored to state it above.
 Politically, there is no room for hesitation. The election of Terry is the success of the democratic party, it's and it's principles, and will secure their continued ascendancy. The success of Martin will be the overthrow of the pary, it's usages it's ganization and it's truest men, by the aid of s willy and inyeterate enemies. We only ask sincere de- mocrats to look warily to the designs and the len dencies of these movements; and let each one decide for himself neither he desires his name to be inscr bed upon the column which whiggery promises tC Martin if shall succeed in breaking down and des. | troying the democratic party of this State. w.

In tie neutral paper of the 25th see an article over te signature of Mobile, upon the subject of the eubermtoriel election.
 Fron the tenor of his remarks take It that Mobll, profess,s 10 be democrat. He says (seem'ng ic know) that our opponents will not offer candidate of ther swn It is much easier for them to know that hey do not is because they believe that the, can dc better for whIggery with Judge Martin. How or by what means did he arrive at hs information Ia he sufficiently in the secret oi our opponents tt know what they intend to do n matters ot that sort Ind he prepared to cooperate with them. II so, | is high time the democratic party should know wht such democrats are.
 was informed he day before that such article would appear, which is 10 be followed up by Mobile and his oacfors, m their efforts to defeat the demo cratic nomination. The question, he says, Sis se riously presented to every democrat If there is ar obligation resting upon him to vote for an indivtua who is rot possessed of suitable qualifications" He concud,s by stating that Col. Terry IS not qualified for the station 10 which he aspires.
 We are not told that Judge Martin is any better qualified but that the democratic party had il in then power 10 present gentleman every way qualified but refused to do so. presume he ailades to Col MoClung, who it seems was the only competitor for the nomination.
 Can any body really state to this community that Judge Martin is Col. Terry's superior, point ol intellect or that he is as consistent a public man will he say that il is not important 10 have as our cnIet mdgBtfhIe a consistent utHioCTat'
 l happen to know something of both the aspirants for Governor, and think ihe l know something of the writer of the article in question. If am right can recolIect to have heard the writer when he himself, was candidate, urge the democratic party of this county to unite in favor of the nominees for office.
 1t was important then that all differences of opiD- ions as to men, should be flushed for the sake of har- mony. recollect when present worthy chle magistrate was candidate that Col. McClung. though protesting to be democrat, became his com petitor against the nomination of his party And | am not mistaken, the writer who signs himsel ssMobe" exered himself 10 prevent split in the democratic ranks, and urged Il reason that n ma Jority of the party had selected Ben. Fitzpatrick d, their candidate and therefore all good democrats ought to unite. It was not superior intellect urged m favor of Gov. Fitzpatrick, but it was democratic consistency. Mobile nor any else ever claimed extraordinary ability for Coy Fitzpatrick, within my recollection, yet all will unite in saying that he has made an excellent officer.
 The opposition to Col. Terry from few arisocrat- sc democrats, does arise from want of capacity the secret lies deeper In my opinion, Col. Terry is A bold and fearless democrat, possessing a mind o his own; and he will be subject to the nod of 6 few who wish 10 control the affairs of this State.

 Resolved, The personal friends of John R. Caugh. lin, wall adhere 10 and support him during the pres- ent for the office of Clerk of the County Court, as he has been uniform in his politics and zealous in the cause of democracy; that he has hitherto appeared before the public seeking any office of emoument otherwise; and that his abili- ties such enable him to fill the office, should he have the good fortune 10 meet the appreciation of at least ihe democratic party--to whom we recom- mend him as worthy of being their candidate. After which J. K Caughln stated to the meeting that, to conciiiate the democratic party, he was will ling to place himself in the hands of his friends, and let them make such arrangements as they thought proper with the friends of Mr. Holt, either stand a nomination, or make arrangement that would unite the party on one candidate for Clerk of the County nrti-after which Major Holland offered the fnIowidg resolution:
 Re.olyed, That the chair appoint a committee of seven of the friends of J. K. Cauehiin To wait on nation.
 Which was unanimously adopted

Thc Tuscaloosa nomination. of Mir. DAVIS of Limestone, by the Monitor, has been peremptorily refused; but the manner in which it was received l y the whigs haR stirred up little feeling among those whgs who believed that their brethren meant honestly when they prolessed to take no party in- leres for either of the candidates. It has excited some little surprise that the suggestion of the name ofa wHIa for Governor, should have brought out from many quarters the avowal that it is the whig game to vote for the opposition candidate, and tr umph over the party by breaking down its union, harmony and organization with the aid of a clique of the disafected of its own members.
 Mr. Sade, the publisher oi the Monitor. has un- der his own signature avowed the responsibility of the published nomination, and exonefated every per- son from the ilberal charge that it was intended as
 trick for the benefit of either of the present candidates.

G3- The candidates will be here at the close oi this week The prospects of Col.

Some whigs who are now very sweet upon the Irish voters, just before election, when they want their votes, then elecloneered openly for the whig ticket, the Native American ticket, and had that title endorsed upon the regular whg tickets thai went to the ballot box. The tone is little suhdued just now, but another defeat will bring it cut again with new bitterness.
