Mr. Bakers Letter TO his Constituents
This Letter which we hope to lay be-
fore our readers next week. demonstrates
most clearly that should Great Britain
open her ports. as far as Wheat is con-
cerned it will not be any benefit 10 the
wheat growers of The United States. Our
farmers canno, successfully compete with
the agricullurists on the Baltic and Medi-
ierranean. At present we possess the la.
cililies Of introducing wheat to Great Bril-
tain through Canada, which almost a.
mounts to monopoly. The Russian and
Prussian agriculturists have no such ave.
nae through which to introduce thel! wheat
and avoid the duty. Take away these
duties and our farmers are brought into
direc; competition with them. They be-
ing much nearer 10 the market and able TO
sell wheat cheaper than Americans, owing
to the low price Of labor in the north of
Europe, but little benefit can be anticipa
ted from Great Britain admitting wheat
duty free. Mr. q. shows that the market
al home is much better than the foreign.

We extract the following as part Of
the Congressional proceedings from the
Correspondence of The Mo Republicans:
The House then wen, into Committee
of the Whole. and took up the private
calendar. The first and only bill under
consideration during The whole day, was
one allowing the heirs of Col. VIM. Gray
son, of Va. certain sum of money due
their ancestor for services during the war.
This bill has given rise to a great deal Of
excited and unpleasant debate, and it is
much to be regretted that it was not dis
posed of. previous to the committees
rising. II was supported by Nessrs Sid
den. Johnson aud BavIev, of Va, Adams
of Massachusetts and Davis Of Kentucky,
and opposed by Mr. Clark of N. T.. Gar
rett Davis, during the debate, remarked
that it would be far more creditable TO
Congress to pay with promp,ness even
much less meritorious claim than this one,
where The application was based upon
revolutionary services. than to squander
during a single session, some sixty thou.
sand dollars upon pet government prin
ter, more than the same work was offered
to be done for by other responsible prin-
tiers. He also thought tina, the public
money could be much more probably,
and Justly. distributed in this way, than to
allow the Swsr,wou,s and Prices under
the beautiful Sub Treasury system to run
off with their thousands and tens Of thou.
sands of dollars. A motion was then
made that the committee rise, and report
the bill to the House. with recommen-
da,ion tina, it do not pass john Quincy
ADAMS moved to amend the proposition
by striking out the word "no,." Upon
this tellers were demanded, and the
amendment adopted, by vote of 81 to
go. On the report being made to the
House, motion was at once made and
prevailed, TO adjourn.
Since yesterday have ascertained one
or two more facts in regard to The fate Of
the river and harbor bill. that rather
strengthens the chances Of the passage Of
the bill. A Democratic member Of Con.
gress informed me. in conversation with
him upon the subject, tina, Col. Abert's
report was first submitted to Mr. Polk be-
fore being embodied in the report of the
Secretary of the Treasury. That Mr.
Polk instructed Col. Albert. TO reduce the
amount of appropriations asked for, one
third. And tina, when tina. was done it
met with his appreciation. Under these
circumstances. every thing like doub, is
removed. that if the bill passes the two
branches Of Congress, i. will beyond any
question receive his signature.

Tho meeting of last Saturday convinced
us more fully than ever of the utter I'M
fairness and tyranny Of Caucusses as they
are got up in ,hi. Territory. One remark.
able feature in The loco foco Conventions
in this country, but which we do moi
mention as being in itself either unflir or
tyrannical. but simply because it is re.
markable, is the fact thai all which we
have ever attended are constituted of
nearly the same men. and we suppose i,
would hardly be considered real Simon
Pure Convention could they no, have 10
preside over them the same steres,yped
chairman. We presume they have good
reasons for this sameness in their mem
.'bers and presiding officer. II is doubtless
convenient in producing sameness Of
action. We base our charge Of unfairness
and tyranny on circumstance that &C.
Cured at the meeting on Saturday. 1t
'transpired on this wise;-Afler the Com.
'mit.ee were appointed to draft resolutions
4 certain member Of the Convention told
The Chairman Of the Committee that
smother gentleman had Resolutions AREA
dy prepared and requested him TO let lha,
other gentleman take his place and repor.
the Resolutions. The real chairman
modes.ly gave way, and the other gentle
man. chs Uas not appointed as one Of
the Delegates at The Township meeting
and who Das not. in fact. member of
the Convention, retired with the Commit
tee. and subsequently, reported string Of
resolutions which although palatabe TO
the s.ereo,yped Convention tina. me. on
Saturday. will not be conceded in by all
the Democrats in this county. on account
Of their extreme ultra parizaa character.
They may smooth over this transaction
~ they will. i, will nevertheless not
change its unfairness in the estimation of
thinking men. Another unfair feature is
that these caucusses, are not really expires
sive Of the wishes Of the Democracy. A
few men in each Township get together
aud dictate as to what shall be DONE
They obtain for themselves the appoint
ment TO the County Convention, where
they meet companions Of the same stripe
with themselves, and these men undertake
TO dictate 10 the Democracy and declare
their action to be the voice of the People.

We knoW of no Medicine so deserving of The
confidence Of the public as DR.. Fulger's Olo.
snonion, or A healing BalsaG. II has stood
the test Of experience. having been used in
private practice for more than fifteen years
past, and has effected more cures in appa.
ren,Iy hopeless cases Of Pulmonary Disess-
es, than any other medicine that has ever
been discovered. IL has been given under
the inspection Of physicians, in the PUBLIC in.
stltutioDs Of the city of New York, and has
been found to answer the purpose for which
il was intended, viz: to cure diseases. II has
been used by the young aud old, and all who
have ever tried il, tell but one story concern
ing its effects. We haye beioIe US the
testimony OF New York Editors, not only
given publicly in their papers, but their own
cases are related, together with what they
have witnessed. We have no reason to
doubt the veracty Of their statements. They
have been cured Of long continued and har.-
rassing coughs by its use, and have seen
asthma of the most dscouraging kind, yield
quickly to it's influence. Even consumption
in its terrible form, has given way under It's
use. With this mass OF testimony before us,
we cannot refrain from recommending il as
most valuable remedy. Consumpiive reader,
whoever you may be, try it, it will not hurt
you ; It may prolong your days. Or il you
are afflicted with asthma, let us assure you
that you can find no remedy like it.
