Frrnn fie PtrtiW;: SWm. E1R. MARTIN'S ANTI-TARIFF RESOLUTION. Jlfn. B!fcr--I would call the attention of all red friends of D-ifscstic Manufacture to the manoeuAies atid underhand efforts now making in corgrss, to defeat

tbe hop ofth farmer and manmanur, and to wcrtfice U e grrat interests of the pecp'e at the shrine cf fart on. For trac-y yevrs the American System has tifen ardently opposed by trie Southern pbners and their hot-headed representatives in Con2is but heretofore their opposition, though character zed by jh?.neful violence anil denunciation, was t-pn and tindisgied. But now l e Jacks -n c njrestneii from the South, m seated ar.d ideJ, bv the Jackson members from the middls State?, and particolatlv from P;n'mlvania, who are the frelemlid friends of the 8tm. hare comoier ci d an unfair and skulking; warfare The real objecXa of Mr Martins Tesolu'.ion, empuweiivg the c:mmittfe on Manufactures to seid for persons, and examine them under oath, touching the policy or necessity of increased dutits, are however, oo evident to be mistaken. They are 1st. To pi event Congress from adopting any measures whatever, jn relation to' the ro ective system at the present session, wl u-h the committee sre awart must rettssjrily be a short one; and the delay, which sending for persons in a'! quarters of the Union will occasion, tn-v cfi'cct this purpose. 2d. To thmw odium on the protective system, by the er-arte testimony of such manufacturers as are opposed to increased duties on the articles for which protection is now asked. . lu tr is city there are a few manufacturers who ate determined (Ueir own interests bem sufficiently provided for by the present Tar fi.) to oppose increased duties on those articles in the manufacture of which they are no w ay concerned . Atnong the articles sufficiently protected by the existing Tariff, is Cut Glass and Mr. Benjamin Bakewell, a gentleman who is engaged in tbe manufacture of that article, is well known to a member of the committtee on .Manufactures, for his devotion to Jacksonism, and1 his decided hostility to the increased duties on rcooi, $c. This manufacturer is accordingly selected by this d uble-faced committee, to represent the wishes aid wants of tiie mavufacturers of Pittsbuigh and the farmers cf Western Pennsylvania. What, I ask, does Mr. B. care how much our farmers may suffer fr want of a market f;r their wool and other surplus produce? or what does he care how rich his countrymen, the British manufactJiers cf cloths should become at our expense? Cut Glass is protected suffi Ciemly.and Mr. B. is content. The committee will not send for m nuftcturers or farmers who need protection, and are in favor of increased duties. Only on side is to be heard; but thee gentlemen will find that the ptople understand the trick. The pretence that they want more information, is as paltry as it is fa so. Di d tl ey really seek afer troth, tin fi'ts of Caress, the re V-rtofthe Hamburgh Convention, the Report of Mr. Rush, the testimony or Matthew Carey, 11. N"!es, Mr Dickinson, of Steuben ille, and such men, would a.fnrd them abundance. No former comiBittee on .Manufactures, considered it necosary to call anti-Tariff men from distant p-rs of the Union, 10 Uarn from them what th necessities of tbe country required. Messrs Clay and Forward, never considered it necessarv, neither did Mr. fodd, the indefinable chirman of that committee in 1024, desire such power; tor dees J r. Mallary tbe enlightened flnirman of the present commute, conaider -.Vr Martin sie-otrion in any other lieht than a scheme to create d-rlwy. Th-s proceed ng, on the part ot the ccinfD-t.ee, is truly reprehensible; but the conduit of one member is peculiarly so It wT.l be reco l ced that at a In? mcetirg he'd in this cty during: the "summer, Mr Janw S.

What wd. t-iey say when tney Wnrn that Mr Martin's resolution, that secret stb at the protecn etein, owes its origin to J S. Steven,0rtJAfia!d himself to submit such a jiro-p.'s-.lion, Mr. S. makes the suction, a-,d immediately Southern member takes U-o hint, and offers the resolution, winch theanti-tariff men from the South, with t;,e ass-st mce of Mr Stevenson and oth- . .Lirkson memhers from the North, carry through tne House. W hen an individual in the ordinary walks oft.fe, resorts to tricks and sub-trifi-cto effect his purposes, evry man of h-mest and honorable fee'.bgs, views conduct with comtemp -vhut when a ' Jtfireseftflic hf the people, . hts UscUlalire capacity, tries "by any indirection,'' to juvi'e his contitusnts that he may -...-..Tra. xv,ih nafpiv to himself, their UClllit- J . d arcst inter s! on the a tar of setli h am ntiun, t must exci e taeir aisguM anu . i .riiauon. ..iiut Tlrtuous Americaft will hot blnsb for hit ceuutry' deredatioa, when

Tbe following is an important petition: To the Senate and House of Bewe senfat ires of Ihf U. States of .ifiiertca, n Cctifress assembled. The petition of the subscribers, inbabitai ts of the State of Kentucky, would humbly represent. That they ate situated on the Ohi river, one of the chief tributaries of the .Mississippi river, sooie fifteen hundred miles fr -m New Orleans, the 51 eat market and depot ot ail their produce and manufacture, as well as that of the neighboring States, stuated on tbe same river and its tributaries, for more than one thousand miles above us, and all are compelled to send the effects of their labor down the Ohio and Miss ssippi nverr to market, in the various crafts toat usual ly navigate those streams; that these great and navigable rivers are in many places, obstructed with tie. s, stumps, and roots of trees, technically called si.ags, planters and snags, whereby ths navigation of them is retarded and rendered very hazardous, and by them many of the various craf on the river, with yaluabie cargoes, are annually lost, to the great injury and distress of tbe adventurers, who Irq-ientiy embark on board of them with the effects of their yeart labor, and often their all, as well as endangering the lives of the men sailing in said crafts, as will be seen by a review of the navigation of these waters for a few past years. Nineteen valuable steam boats have been totally lost, with their cargoes, in most cases bjr.being- sppjged, together with many valuable lives of tttir crews and passengers, Viz Steam boats, NewOrleans, Tennessee, Alexandria, Mars, Newport, Hope Cinoinnatti, Virginia, General R biuson Providence, Alandan,Tbjnv as Jefferso ., Nieuville, Leopard, Eagle, Pittsburgh Packet, Eclipse.

William Penni which boats with their cargoes , from the best data that can be obtained, were worth at least 600,000 dollars in addition to Whicb, the damages from the same cause done to other steam bt;ats, in the destruction of their guards and upper works, during the same period, is estimated at 125,000 dollars. Thy loss of Ait boats from these causes, during tbe last ten years, is safely estimated at thirty per year, avaraging forty tons each; making a lo-s of produce in these crafts of 12,000 tons, estimated low at six ty dollars ps-r, tori,' amounting to 4cj,UO0 do lars, thus showing tbe loss by steam and flat b.a s from suags and sawyers, to have b. en 1,416,000 dolinrs!!! That your honorable body may be called to a review of tbe amount of property annually afloat on the western waters, tbey take leave to state, that the actual tonnage of steamboats now employed is25,700ton9, carrying ten full cargoes each per year on an average, is 257,000 tons, and 7,000 flat boats of forty tons each, is 280 000 tons, making together 537,000 tons of propeity annually afloat on these rivers, which property, a large proportion of whicb ia coliti, estimated at 100 dollar per ton, amounts to the immense sum of 33,700 000 dollars. Atid they would alo furlber call tbe at tention of your honourable body to the ex tent of country traversed oy uiese rivers, and the line of coast ftmned by their banks, from N. Orleans to th Falls of St. Anthony, to the Council Bluffs, and to Olean Poiut in the State ol New iork, presents a continuous line of coast of upward 14, 000 miles in extent, on the larger waters, wnich would be quadrupled it the i?ed, Aikansas, White, rilack St. Francis, Yaz jo, l luiois, L Fever, Waba-h, Cumberland, Tennessee, hv mucky, Miami, sci 1to, !ukingum, .lonongahela, Keuhawa, and innumerable tiier streams, were tra versed, out of all which, produce is annually fl.iaied on ths m ghty bosom of the Mis3t;S'ppi. to New Otleans Sunn being tbe great amount of property annually encountering those dangers, and such being the annual lushes, your petitioners humbly beg your honorable body, to take this immeme section of onr evuimon coti.it ry into the consideration of your deliberations, and make such addilional appropriations for the removal of said obstructions, (it having been already ascertained by the experiments heretofore authorized to be made hy your former appropriations, that the navigation can be much facilitated, and rendered less hazardous,) as in your wisdom you may deem proper and sufficient fur the object And, a3 in duty bound, your petitioners will ever pray, From the Cincinnati Gazettee. ANOTHER Will TE-WASHING COMMITTEE. It seems there is a Jackson whitewashing committee m Washington city. of which John W Vannes3 is, Chnirmn, and 11. C. NeaU; Secretary. Mr. Clay's Hddress hasset these gentlemen at work. The? have isued a manifesto dated the 8th, promising largely what they are abl and intend to prove, ror the pur pose of multiplying evidence, they have adopted the course cf the ancient Poppish preachers t tndulgencie?. they absolve all Iheir adherents from any spe cies of accountable, whatever, amongst themselves, who will coons forward and

f - : fir. Thr. following U the Dart f the

manifesto rt'f r red to Th attemnt of Mr. ClaV to distort the most trivial incidents into evidence of nofeitir:r! desipn. to present the neea imm:ie vitrtizans in Exculpation ol . - i-. j-i bimsell: to impute remarks to uenerai Jackson in stages and steam-boats, to inculpate Mr. day and his tnenas: anu that this was the result of a conspiracy and agreement between the Gpneral &l his friends, as a course so very disinirenunua - arid liberal as tends, in the iudnementof the committee, of once to absolve every iruIiTulual who respects truth and honor, from event imazinnble obliga tion, lore r 'o conceal any fact within his knowledge relative to ttns sunjeci. This is certainly a new exercise of power. 1 here was some reason to con elude that the movement at New Or leans, was intended as a political canon ization, by which Gen. Jackson was to be nut into the calendear of political Saints. J,,t't TaB not anticipated that with his canonization his white-washers were to assume the powers of granting absolution, mail rases wnere iney wanted evidence. We are anxious to learn the result of this proclamation for testi monr. thus accomoanied with an offer of absolution. It is certainly a new thing oncer the sun. PROSCRIPTION. Mr. McMahon, a member of the Le gislature of Pennsylvania, has been e lected Treasurer of Slate over Mr Clark, the former incumbent. The following extract of a letter, copied from the Na tional Intelligencer, will explain the trmsaction: . Haohisburo, Jan. 7, 1 323. "On iaaturdiy last, a letter was addressed to Mr. Clark, State Treasurer, signed by Alexander Ogle, John Brown, and Christian Garber of the State Geo B. Porter, Solomon Krebs, Aaron Kerr, of Washington, Benjamin S. Bansall, ol the city of Philadelphia, George jY. Ba ker, of the County, of the House of Rep resentatives, stating themselves the personal friends of Mr. CLARK, telling him that it was necessary that he Mr. CLARK, should give an explicit answer to two questions. The first was, whether he (AY. Clark) voted for Gen. Jackson in 1824 the second, whether he would Tote for General Jackson at the next election; that his Mr Clark's) election or rejection must depend upon his ,&&;s.JV?!-vCIk ha Mfen a dig nified, stai.CU , He has answered their letter, (in substance) that he should con sider himself disgraced in holding any office, the tenure of which was a sacrifice of principle; that, if his past atten tion and services did not entitle him to a re-election, he would not consent to hold it by any ether tenure; that he would give no pledge, nor be concerned in any bargain, for an office to which a salary was attached," &c. Mr Clark's correct and dignified re ply lost him the office. Thus have the Jacksonians generally done, wherever they had power. Yet 1hi y are guilty fo no proscription! -They do all for the public good! 6k From the Alexandria Gazette. Throush the politeness of a friend we learn, by letter, that the Virginia Anti-Jackson Convention, now 111 session at Richmond, as sembied in the Chamber of tbe House of Delegates, at 2 o'clock, P.M. on Tuesday, the 81I1 iut. Judge Ilrooke wan unanimously called to the Chair, and John Uempden Pleasants, Editor of the Constitutional If 'his, was appointed Secretary. Nearly Three Hundred Oelegtte were presen". On motion of Chapman Johnson, Esq the Rules of the H. R. of the Stt were adopted for the gov ernment of the Convention; and on tbe respective motions of Al fred H. Povell. E-q. of Winchester, and General Robert B. Tay lor, of Norfolk, the Convention ad journed till four o'clock Ihe next eve ntng. It is conceded on all hands, says our correspondent, even by l. I ! 1 W . 1110 jacKson memuers 01 me jegis lature, that the Convention u just ly entitled to the appellation of I ha collected wisdom of the State." It will probably be iu our power, to morrow, to furnish our readers with further particulars. In the moan time we can assure them t tyffM fee 'jsns of the tivae ' are erery w hertf in favor of the continuance of civil government. The miliary fever is abating as rapidly as it rose. The people are approaching that state of politi cal sahriety which will permit them to reflect, ant enable them to avoid the pitt whk i.has heen tlusr for them, by fatuous fanatics, who

meanly worship a TynnU for the crumbs thai taay Ml frocl W8 u ble. Let the friends of freedom be united let them emulate the xeal of their opponents and success will as surely crowo their efforts, as defeat will be tbe result of apathy. "TO-PRINTERS.
