Ths, they did their duty is evident, and The

British POLICY,

We are pleased TO see one democratic paper.
the Philadelphia American Sentinel, assuming
bold and decided lone against the ,i-Aner-
lcan policy Of the Administration. It says
1.-The Warehouse system is British all over
British workmen are 10 make the goods, Brit
ish agents 10 sell them British ships are to car
ry them, British carpenters, rggers, black
smiths, &C., are TO build The British ships, Brit
ish captains TO command them, and British sal
lors to man them, and the oaly thing that is
American connected with this system, is that
American money is TO pay for this British de-
vice TO impoverish our country. Our American
merchants will probably then no,import on their
own account from England, and may have no
occasion for building American vessels

THE MARRIED MAN.

We find the following fancy sketch in an
exchange, under the caption, "romant;c char.
acter of a married man." 1t cetainly is ro-
mantle, very much so, and we would merely
remark that its author must be blessed with an
angel for wife, and half dozen Cherubim
for children.
The felicity ola married man never stands
still. 1t flows perpetual, and strengthens in
its passage. 1t is supplied from various chan.
nels. 1t depends more on others than himself
From participation proceeds the most ecstatic
enjoyment ofthe married man. BY an union
with the genllest, the most polished, the most
beautiful part of creation, his mind is harmon
lied, his manners softened, his soul animated
by the most lively and tender sensations Love,
gratitude, and universal benevolence. mix in
all his ideas The house ola married man is
a paradise He never leaves it without re-
greet never returns to it but with gladness.
The friend of his soul, the wife of his bosom,
welcomes his approach with rapture; Joy
fushes in her cheek mutual are the tran
sports. Infants, lovely as the spring, climb
about his knees, and contend which shall catch
the envIed kiss of parental fondness. Smiling
plenty, under the guardianship OF economy, is
seen IN every part OF his family. Generosity
stands porter at the door, iberality presdes
at his table; aud social nirth gives to time the
most agreeable notion When death over
takes him, he is only translated from one hea-
ven to another His glory is immortalized,
and his children's children represent him on
earth to the latest genera ton

trial may be made by the lrIe girl of five
years, with golden hair and laughing eyes.
The widow consents. There is an
awful pause. With a smile in her eve,
without Knowing what she does, that little
girl, opens the Bible ms it lay upon her
mothers knee-she turns her laughing
face away-She placesher ittlefinger upon

The awful silence grows deeper. The
deep drawn breath Of the brother, and the
broken gaSpS ofthe murderer alone disturb
the stiffness. The widow and the dark
eyed boy are breathess.-That little girl
unconscious as she was, caught feeling of
awe, from the COuntenances around her
and stood GREATNESS, her face turned aside,
and her fingers, resting on that line of life

For--need tell you. that muiderer'S life
was saved. That widow recognized the
finger of God, and even the stern brother
was awed into silence.
The murderer went his way
Now, look We, how wonderful are the
ways of Heaven! That very night as the
widow sat by her lonely hearth, her or
phanS by her side, she sat there with a
crushed heart and hot eye balls, thinking
of her husband, who nov lay Wondering

THE TARIFF DISCUSSION.

We were unable TO attend the important
debates in the House of Representatives TO-
day. We are sorry for il. If our infor-
nation be correct cloud arose for mo
ment in quarter of the horizon where we
could have least expected it, and which
threatened danger TO the Just and proper
modification of the existing oppressive and
| tyrannical tariff.
But we have made il a rule throughout
our political life never TO despair of the
republic. In this case, certainly, we know
our cause to be Just. Ii is the cause OF
| liberty and the constitution. Ii is the cause
of the oppressed many against the exac.
tious Of the privileged classes. Ii rs a cause
which must ultimately triumph, and to
which we are ready 10 say with the Secre-
tary of the Treasury we would devote our
life as long as it lasts. For thirty years
past, we have never known the day in
which we would not have met every ha.
card, risked every Consequence, braved
every difficulty in the support of such a
cause. No considerations on earth shall
stop IT'S. So long as We preserve our ener-
ges, we shall eudeavor to present in its
true light this great question of the age;
and by ringing again and again appeals 10
the sense of common justice in every part
ofthe land, we will do our duty in assist
ing TO wire off this libel upon the integrity
aud institutions Of our country.
Truth will ultimately prevail. 1t is sue
ceedIng in England. II will ultimately
triumph in America No privileged mono
poly, no greedy corporation spirit, no pri.
vate griefs, no miserable personal disap-
poiutmenls can finally defeat this cause
The former will be exposed. The latter,
if il has any existence will be Investigated

Of the age, the justice and the benefits Of
free trade, will have many a tongue 10

many heud to think, aud many heart to
fee! for it. Many a man is willing TO be-
come martyr TO it-and il must succeed
hereafter. But why talk Of hereafter! II
is our firm and conscientious belief that il
will succeed now--dunng the present ses-
sion Of Congress. If passion or monopoly
shall defeat il, again the standard will be
displayed again tho champions will
rush to the rescue with an iudom1able
spirit greater than ever

THE HEARTS GUESTS.

BY MRS oRNE.
When age has cast its shadows
Der life's declining way
When evening twilight gathers
Round our retiring day;
Then shall we sit and ponder
Upon the shadowy past
In the hearts silent chamber
The guests will gather fast
Guests that in youth we cherished,
Shall come to us once more,
And we shall hold communion
AS in the days of yore.
They may be dark and sombre,
They may be bright and fair,
But the heart will have its chamber
The guests will gather there.
How shall it be, my sisters,
Who shall be our hearts guess
How shall it be, my brothers,
When LIES shadow on US rests?
Shall we not, mid the silence,
Hear voices sweet and low,
Speak the old familiar language
The words of long ago.
Shall we no, see dear faces,
Sweet smiling as of old
Till the misls Of that lone chamber
Are sunset clouds Of gold?
When age has cast its shadows
Der LIES declining way,
And evening twilight gathers
Round our retiring day.
