The evident tendency OF the new system in Eng

classes, and to lay the burden upon the richer The

We have gathered the materials and in some
cases the language, of these observations from re-
cent English and American journals and have en-
deavored to compress and arrange such an outline
OF the whole subject as may place it in an accept
able shape before our readers.
1t may be added, in conclusion, that England still
protects her manufactures jeaiousiy and carefully,
and that the late repeal Of duties on the imported
raw material will act as further protection of
them: whilst there is scarcely an article relieved
from duties by Sir RoBERr PEELs bold financial
measure which can in any way interfere with the
interests or diminish the protection of manufacture
ing labor and skill of any description whatever.
What the British Government finds necessary to
be done in this respect in England, we hold to be
at least as necessary to be done in the United States
but we need not repeat often expressed and well
understood opinion on this subject.
The question undoubtedly arises and it is deserv-
ing consideration, how far can we, with propriety
and advantage, recprocate the measures of the Bri
tish Minister by repeating or lowering our impor
duties upon raw produce and materials! 1t must,
however, be borne in mind that what may be appli-
cable and advantageous to population like that of
England may prove highly prejudcial and injurious
to the very differently circumstanced people Of the
United States.

THE STATE OF ARKANSAS AND IT'S DEBTS.

Our attention has been directed by citizen Of
Arkansas to the suboned lamentable account Of the
debts, resources, and dispositions of the State Of
Arkansas from which we conclude thai the State
is rretrievably insovent, and will in all probability
never pay dollar of either interest or principal Of
her State debt. A large amount of the stock issued
by this State is held by the General Government,
by whose officers funds held in trust by this Go
vernment were invested in that stock the whole
amount of which must of course be made good by
the Treasury of the United States out OF money
collected by taxation from the whole people of the
United States.

CHARACTER OF THE NEW PRESIDENT

oa hfs' 1OSliANAN
 We have few men in our ranks to whom the Wings concede all the attributes of emi- nent statesmen. One of these is James Blu. chanan, the favorlte Senator of'Pennsylvania He has lately drawn the character of the Pre- sident elect in a few words, but with so much truth and correctness, that il will be recog- n!zed as a faithful drawing by all who know him well.
 In letter of the 1lth ult, published in the Globe, Mir. Buchanan says
 :. nave been upon terms of personal, po- lltleal and social intimacy with James K. Polk Tor nearly twenty years and have observed hlm In all situations, both in the sunshine and in the storm. Whilst the tremendous war of the Bank of the United Stafes against the ad- mlnistration of the glorious old hero and sage oi the Hermitage was raging, he never quailed, but led the van of the Democracy in the House of Representatives. shall venture the prediction that, as President of the United States, he will disappoint the expectations of hls political foes, and will surpass even the high hopes ot his friends Prudent, firm, and sagacous, with character, public and private above all reproach, his country's good will be the polar-star of his administra- ton; and his own glory and lasting benefits to the people of the United States will be his rich reward, provided he be not thwarted by premature attempts to divide the party in a struggle for the next Presidency. His own nomination and triumphant election ought to warn the friends of all impatient aspiran.s, ii any such there be, that those who are first to enter the lists, and thus distract the party, Will be the last in reaching the goal.
 "lhe leading characteristic of Mir. Folks mind is an almost unerring judgment, which emlnently fits him for the high position to which his country has called him. Dnrino hls long and varied services in Congress, il may be said of him what could scarcely bf asserted of any other public man, placed ir similar position-that he has never had oc casion to explain or retracl any of his votes or even to qualify any of his opinions ex. pressed Tn the ardor of debate1
 In the late canvass there was concerted attempt throughout the Union, amongst tho Wing leaders, to represent MT. Clay as inf. nltely the superior of Mr. Polk, in all the characteristics of statesman. In the con lfast Which was continually presented to the people, the grossest injustice was done to Mr r. While Mr. Clay was elevated far above Ills true level as man of talents. his com. petltor was placed equally far below lis true level, Long before the close of his admins. tratlon he will have satisfied all candid men that the friends of Mr. Clay never had any cause 10 hold him up us having superior claims to talents
