THE ToBAcco lNrrprsr

Since we noticed this subject on Thursday, we
learn that resolution has passed the Legislature
Of the State of MARYLAND calling upon the National
Government to take measures relative to the duties
imposed by foreign Governments upon tobacco.
We further learn, from the London correspon
dence of the Boston Traveller, that there is some
prospect that the present enormous duty upon
Tobacco imported into England will be considerably
reduced. Our Minister to that Court has, it is
sald' already brought this subject before some in
1uential members Of Parliament, and has urged the
Importance OF great reduction in the duties.
Weekly national intelligencer. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1841-1869, 1847-02-20

We are aware that national debt does not ne
cessarily involve individual inconvenience but j,
must be remembered that the avowed policy of this
country is to have no national debt and, therefore
the public funds accumulated from duties, land
sales, &c., instead of being directed to works OF
public improvement, will be used for the payment
of the national debt and it must furthermore be
understood that much of the money devoted to this
war, is spent beyond the boundaries of the coun-
try, so that it does not flow through the channels
that benefit our own people, and thus compensate
few for the injuries done to the many.
There must be reaction, we suppose, and the
Government will be in no situation to break the
force of the evil which it causes or augments.

ADDITIONAL REVENUE BILL.

bill was yesterday reported, in the House of
Representatives, from the Committee of Ways and
Means, to increase the Revenue, and, after receiy-
ing the usual reading for form, was referred to a
Committee Of the Whole, and made the special or
der for Monday next.
This bill, which, fit pass reported, is to take
effect on the day passes proposes to increase the
revenue, by laying the following additional duties

years, seventy-hve cents; over twenty-five years

The fate of this bill, in its present form, appears
to us TO be exceedingly doubtful.

POLITICS IN IOWA.

The election in Lee county, Iowa, to supply the
place of Mr.. CoNLEE, who died few weeks since,
has resulted in the decided defeat of the Loco,cos.
Mr.. BAKER, "possum democrat" supported by
the Wings, beat the Locofoco candidate about $50
votes decided majority Of the people of Lee
county have thus reafirmed the judgment which
they gave last fall against Locofocoism, it exhi-
bits itself in the conduct of the leaders of the Iarty
in Iowa. We shall soon see what effect this cleo
ton has upon the Locofocos at Iowa city, who rave
thus far succeeded in staving off the election, and
in deprivng the State Of any voice in the Senae of
the United States. If they persevere in their
of nfatuation, not only will Iowa be without Sc
naor in the present Congress, but she must go UNI
represented during the first session of the next Con-
gress On the Locofocos alone rests the RESPONSE
bty of such total abandonment Of the interests of
this young State.-.S Louis Republican.

THE SENATE AND THE PRESIDENT.

e III
The Washington correspondence the Journal OF
Commerce. in narrating the late proceedings in the
Senate in defence Of its outraged rights and repu-
tation, takes the following view of the subject,
which has, besides the merit Of originality, sharp
penetration into the gist Of the matter
$50 far as he the Editor of the g Union
speaks the sentiments of the President he is en-
titled to thanks, instead of censure, for giving us
the Presidents views on public questions. If
the President deems the action of the Senate on
the House proviso to the army bill as treason
able, why should we not know it?
off constitutional question cannot be discussed
: by Senators without being charged by the Presi-
dent with giving aid and comfort to the enemy
let us know it. cannot perceive any offence in
what the editor has done. He has done nothing
: for which he owes the Senate any apology. The
President, in his annual message, gave Congress
to understand that his measures were not to lie
questioned but on pain of the charge of treason.
After that, it is mere affectation to arraign any
editor who represents the views of the Executive,
for carrying the decree into execution

THE oNE-MAN POWER.

However the " Progressive" Democracy of some
parts OF the country approve and uphold the doc
trine of the Supremacy Of the Executive over the
Legislative power in this Government-thus claim
ing for our President more than Royal prerogative
and power-there symptoms that it will not be
sustained by the sounder part of the Democracy.
There are very many who are not addicted to
so blind a subservience to the mere madness and
excess Of party spirit, to put up with doctrines
here, which, proclaimed in either France OF Eng
land by the Government party, would be the signal
for revolution. The last Revolution in France
had less foundation than this.
These remarks are elected by an article in the
Georgia Constitutonalist" a steady but not vio-
lent Democratic paper, which, in referring to the
late able Speech Of Mr. BERRIEN in the Senate, and
dissenting from his views generally, makes the fol-
lowing exception, which we quote, as embodying
probably the spirit Of the Southern wing of the
Democracy, and certainly as good Wing doctrine
as any one of that party could desire
'sWe hesitate take ground with him Mr. BER-
RES against the doctrine proclaimed he states in the
Senate, that Congress had control the question
war after its declaration. We have the doctrine
thus broadly laid down.. But if il has been whether by
Wing or Democrat proclaimed, II is antirepubcan and
aoiH moi be recognised by the american people"
Again To gravely contend that it is not in the province
of Congress to declare its will in reference any step which
the President chooses to take but that be has only
suit his mere voltionhat he is under obligation
to regard the expression of the popular win declared by
their Representatives in Congress- to declare the Pres
dent military Dictator. Even Santa Anna, though yr
tualy armed with dcatora powers, would probably not
venture to oppose the solemny declared will Of the Mexican
Congress even on military question"

The REPORTED MEXICAN PRIvATEERs.-Much
incredibly is expressed in some of the newspapers
to the sailing of three Mexican letters of marque
from London, as reported in the late intelligence
from Liverpool. That such vessels as those de-
scribed did go to about the middle of last month
professedly bound for Manila, there appears to be
no doubt; but it is insisted, by a gentleman who
has lately arrived from that port, that the vessels
referred to are destined for the Opium trade--it
being fact within his knowledge that, before he
left Manila, an agent was on his way to England
for the purpose of procuring such vessels.

beautiful incident occurred in the HOUSE OF Re-
PERSONALITIES on Saturdaylast. While Mr.. HUNT,
of New York, was addressing the Committee of
the Whole in support OF the Wlmot Proviso, $50
called,) the venerable figure of President ADAMS
presented itself at the central door Of the hail. All
eyes were quickly attracted to the spot; Mr.. HUNT

Quoted Mr.. ADAMS to his former seat, Tempo
rarily occupied by Mr.. ANDREW JOHNSON, Of

which he had to it under late rule Of the
House, as he had promised to do when he selected
it.) The Members of the House rose at their seats,
and numbers of them approached Mr.. ADAMS to
congratulate him on bis recovery and restoration to
the hall.
Mr.. ADAMS, who seemed good deal subdued
by this reception, expressed his thanks, but in
low voice that little Of what he said could be
heard any distance from that quarter of the hall
All that were able to catch Of these we'll
known tones was, that Mr.. A. was deeply sensible
OF the kindness Of the House in thus receiving him.
and, but for the feebeness of his voice. would have
more fully expressed his gratitude TO gentlemen of
all Parhes iof their kind congratulations. As il
was, ne hoped they would excuse him.

expressed his own deep-felt qualification at Mr..
