It cannot be that earth is man's only abiding tlace. It cannot be that our life is a bubble, cast up by the ocean of eternity to float a mo
ment on the wave, and then sink into deep
darkness and nothingness. Else, why is it
that aspirations which leap like angels from
the temples of our heatts, are forever wander
ing about unsatisfied? Why is it that the rain
bow and clouds come over us w iih a beauty
that is not of earth, and then pass off and
leave us to muse on their faded loveliness ?
Why is it that the stars which hold their fes
lival around the midnight throne, are set so far
above the grasp of our limited faculties for
ever mocking us with their unapproaching glo
ry? And finally, what is it that the bright forms
of human beauty are presented to our view
and then taken from us, leaving the thousand
streams of our affection to flow back in cold
and Alpine torrents upon our hearts? We are

w hen the present tariff bill w as under discussion. Mr. Calhoun said, as reported by the Globe; "He (Mr. Calhoun) has not spoken with a view to change a single vote: he knew that an angel from Heaven could not effect the actions or opinions of those here. But he confided in the strength and ultimate triumph of the truth. We had formely struggled against greater
odds: but now we see the whole democratic party rallied under the banner of Free Trade."
Mr. Levi Woodbury, Mr. Van Huren's Secretary of the Treasury, said: "My own scheme of revenue would bo not to derive more than half of the revenue from
imports. The pubne lands, EXCISES, and
perhaps a STAMP TAX should furnish the
rest."
Mr. B.D.Davis said; "Mr. Davis said, he was one of those who
were called Locofocos and he cloried in the
name. He was a FREE TRADE Ixkooco;
and it time would permit he would dwell with
delight upon the doctrines."
Mr. Rlack, of Georgia, said:
"Mr. Ulack alluded to Mr. Clay's constant
support of a Tar iff. Did it become (asked he,)
theoroirerfrteiKsof FREE TRADE to lend
their support to the father of the American System?"
Mr. Pickens said: "As to the temptations of office and palron
age, to which allusion has been pretty distinct
ly made, it wassufhcient to say to the gentleman that those w iihwhcpi Mr. P. acted wete
eoveened by principle, and by principle alone

which the gentleman had spoken, Mr. P. knew
nothing. He new of no divisions which could not readily be reconciled by a little prudence
and moderation. He new of no cause for any want of harmony. They stood upon the principles of the constitution. A voice: 'On vhat
principles?' Mr. V. would tell the gentleman from Massachusetts that one of them was
FREE TRADE. He feared that tn this the
gentleman did not agree with him; but, be thai as it might, there verer could be any harmony in the great Republican parti but on the foundation of FRFE TRADE. Hollow and
heartless truce there miaht be, but no solid and
lasting pence save on the immovable, eternal ov-
ses of FREE TRADE, and the immutable,
everlasting rights of man."
Mr. James J. Rosevelt of New York, said: I predict that lhe next Congress w ill be a Locofoco FREE TRADE Congress, and will repeal any tariff which the present Congress may enact." The New York Evening Post, the leading organ of that party in New York, siys: "The battle of political opinion in America, nowdrawingon, is for FREE TRADE against a Piotective Tariff. This issue absorbs all the rest." The Norwich (Connecticut) "Democratic" Journal, says:
"We are opposed to a tariff in any shape, for
reseniawvcsoi mat section oi tne Liuon are for the doctrine of free trade while here, and by the North, disgraced by the duplicity of their agents, let the rebuke be administered to them."
Mr. Nathaniel West, a leading member of the patty, delivered a speech in the Indiana Legislature in 1841-2, an extract from which, as
we find it in the Sentinel, reads thus: "Mr. President: I go for FREE TRADE. I
am opposed now, and in all times past to a protective tariff, as unjust and unconstitutional."
Here then, from the 2oih Congress down to
to 1843, Free Trade is avowed by their lead
ers, at well in the North as the South. It is
here avowed as a cardinal doctrine of the par
ty, irrespective of sectionji interests.
A late number of the "democratic" New-
Orleans Courier says:
"No where that we are aware of does the
Democracy support and sustain a Protective Tariff. Take their leading journals throughout the country the Washington Globe and
the New York Evening Tost the Richmond
Enquirer and the Charleston Mercury, ar.dthey
all hold one and the same language upon the
question of its impolicy. They are all AntiTariff. And as for all our public men whether Van Buren or Calhoun, Woodbury or Cass, Johnson or Buchanan bft they from the North, East, West and South, they agree explicitly upon the principles of resistance to a protec
tive Tariff, and when, if the day should ever arrive, that enlightened public opinion should jnstijyno impost duties but direct la.ration. the
Democratic patty vill riot be behind ublic opinion; for the principle of Democracy is. an advance principle, and uot a stationary or a retrogiading principles." In referrence to the present benificent tariff, we have only to say that the patent democrats voted in mass against it. Mr. Whitcomb's pamphlet denounced it, and the party in this Stale (see their late address,) denounce it. In reference to it Mr. Van Buren wrote the following letter: "A lb asv, Feb. ?9, JSJ3. "My dear Sir I thank you very kindly for

At a very late meeting of the members of the patent Democracy held in Wayne county Pennsylvania, the following resolution was passed. Remembei it refers to the same Mr.
Van Buren whose letter stands above recorded, and of w hem the N. Y.

sylvanians and as democrats, we are in favor of a tariff that shall produce a revenue equal to the wants of the government, and that such tariff of duties shall be so adjusted, by discrimination between different articles of import, as lo afford incidental protection to every branch of American industry, that requires to be fostered and sustained, in that way, against foreign competition." At a meeting in Dauphin county, in the same State, the following resolution was a-dopted.-"Resolved. That the democracy of Dauphin county are the drcided advocates of a Tariff for PROTECTWX&nt Revenue. They believe that lhe interests of the laboring man, of the manufacturer, of the mechanic, a.id of the
farmer, are one and the same, and that they
can only be prosperous when their industty is placed beyond the competition of the pauper labor of Europe.
"Resolved, That the Democracy of Dauphin

a meeting of their leaders a few w eeks
ago, held in llarruburgh, Pennsylvania, the
following resolution was adopted:
"Resolved, as the sense of this meeting, that
the tu-isting tariff nothing more or less than sufficiently protects .he manufacturing, labor-
ing, and agricultural interests of Pennsylvania,
andfAo fr its passage we are mainly indebted lo the Hon. James Buchanan.'"
We have but a line of comment to make on the foregoing picture. Let the peoMe rcrd it and contrast therew ith their ow n interests. Is it to such humbugging and contradictory Imders, Farmers, Mechanics, Laborers, that you are willing to confide the absorbing interests of protection. Probable Mormon War.
