The day before the adjournment Of
Congress, Mr.. Duncan, Ga Federal mem
Der OF the House from Kentucky } from a
select committee, made report 'sthat the
powers exercised by the President in es-
tablishing tariff Of duties at Mexican
ports during the war, and appropria,irg
the money in way not designated by the
act Of Congress, are not warranted by the
constitution and the laws, and are in dero-
CATION Of BOTH" This report was made
just at the close of the Presidents term OF
service, and Of course that officer could
have no opportunity of juslifying himself
against the charge made. How charecte.

If the members belonging to MIR. Duncan s
party were convinced that the constitution
had been violated by President Polk, it
was their duty TO have impeached him,
that the facts might have been presented
to the country. That would have been
the manly course-but TO exhibit charge
against him just as he was about to retire
from office, has very much the appearance
of aiming kick at The dead Lion. But,

mother Bit Of History.

1t will doubtless be remembered by our
readers that the celebrated letter of Gen
eral Taylor 10 Gen. Gaines, was furnish
ed to the N. Y. Express by DR.. Bacon
now the responsible editor Of the n. Y
Day Book. From certain remarks con-
tained in that paper Of Tuesday, we infer
that DR.. E. corrected Gnd rerissd IL, SO as,
as he intima,es, TO make il fit for publca-
ton. We extrac. two paragraphs:
"The origina! letter of General Taylor
to General Gaines, was much worse writ
ten than the worst thing ever printed with
his signature. II afforded conclusive evil
dence tia, Though he wrote his celebrated
dispatches somebody must have ccrrec-
ted them before they were despatched.
''Il any person deny this, the public can
be furnished with examples of the origi-
,,Al uncorrccted English OF the letter com
pared with the version or parorhrose given
by the editors Of the Day Book, which
Gen. Taylor has so promptly claimed as
his osca prednction.'
Iowa capitol reporter. [volume] (Iowa City, Iowa) 1841-1855, 1849-04-18

The head Of General Taylor's Cabinet
Mr.. Clayton--is going on very delibe-
ra,ely to carry out his original plan OF for
ming Taylor Republican party the
first suggestion Of which, in October last,
met with such deadly opposition from ell
quarters Of the then opposition forces.
Mr.. Clayton's project, however his friends
may try to conceal it, is war upon the ac-
tive and accredited Whigs--lhe lead
ers Of the party in the capitals and in
the cities, and the lieutenants of the party
in the country. Take Pennsylvania for
instance, and it win be seen how steadily
this purpose has been adhered to- MOI
an aci're Wing has yet been noticed. From
Mr. Meredith down to Mr.. Penrose, not
one Of the new appointments has been in
full communion with the Wing party. In
New York, indications point precisely the
same way. Mr.. Fuller, of the Mirror, a
free-trader, who becomes highly indignant
when called Wing, and Mr.. Leroy, a
monied relation Of Mr.. Webster, are the
only ones that have yet been noticed by
the administration. In Virginia, Mr..
Clayton hopes to build up his party by re-
appointing Democrats, IN Louisiana by
making appointments prcmiscuousIy. In
Ohio by counting and buying the free soil
ers; while we have7seen in Alabama, lin
the appointment Of Judge Gayle, by The
selection oil the most ultra notification dis
unionists. All seem to bend in this drec-
tion-all that can be are suborned to pay
tribute to this purpose and in the midst
OF the machinery ofintrigue and the eager
ness of ambition, Gen. Taylor is neither
heard nor seen--n neither consulted nor re-
lerred 10. There is, it is true, stern and
bitter feeling growing up in the Wing
ranks proper; but as yet it has reached no
great height. The prominent feeling
among the Wings now is indignant surprise.
They are waiting to see il all the other
steps of Mr.. Clayton will be as reckless
and as ambitious as those he has already
taken. And SO are we Pennsylvania.

far our country is interested in preservino
that Tariff, and how vastly the farmers
will continue to be benefited by adherinr
to its wise and equitable provisions. W.
ask the farmers to look at the facts.
On the lst Of February, lS49, the Corn
Laws which had plundered the toilnp
millions Of Great Britain for more than .
century, were literally repealed. The
trade in bread stuffs, by the operation Of
the English act Of ls45, is virtually Tree

or two and half cents per bushei, beinr
HC StdtC VI lHlDpS now
existing, is that the duty on Cotton i,
abolished, reduced upon rice, and wholly
abolished on corn and all kinds of erai::.
The duty on provisions is also greatly
modified. We have noticed Mr.. Labou.

ish Navigation Laws SO as to open still
wider the door for the introduction Of onr
breadst,lffs, and to aid the commercial ma.

country, who have made large fortunes ty
