and lit "AMERICAN SYSTEM Mortxs County, New Jersey, Bth June, 1827. Dear Sir: In reply to your letter, in which you ask me to state my recollection of gen. Jackson's course upon the tariff bill of 1324, and in which you remind me of a declaration you have heard me make, that the country was much indebted to him for the success of that bill, I will state, as an act of justice to general Jackson, my opinion, that without his uniform and zealous aid, the bill would have been lost in the senate. It was frequently saved by a single vote. h is true, this vote was not particularly gen. Jackson's every other vote given for the bill, was of equal avail, and was equally wanted. There was some difference however, in the motives and merits of those who voted. A? a member of the committee of commerce &, manufactures,to whom this sub

ject was referred, and feeling a deep and

conducting the bill through the senate, considering its success as the utmost importance to the country, I was extremely sensitive of the effect of every Vote, for or against it: and I have on all occasions, expressed much gratitude towards the zealous friends of the bill in the senate, and more particularly to general Jackson, as the aid we received from him, at least to the extent to which it was given, was not expected. The state of Tennessee was not considered as altogether favorable to the principle of the bill. His immediate predecessor, (colo-

This increase of duty, would have been highly improtant to the agricultural interest of the country, and from that consideration, as well as others, should have been retained. Mr. Mills moved to limit the progressive duty upon unmanufactured wool to twenty-five cts. ad valorem, which was decided in the negative. Yeas 21, nays 26. Mr. Mills, Mr. Lloyd, of Mass.

The rioters pelted the soldiers in every direction. The 12th. Lancers, the Norfolk yeomanry cavalry, and the staffof militia were drawn out for the absolute protection of the castle (which even now, whilst I am writing this narration, has a garrison within the building!) The lancers and cavalry (now six o'clock) charged the mob, when several were desperately wounded. For about

Mr. King, ofN. Y. moved to reduce the duty on Russia Hollands, and Ravens Duck 15 per cent adval.; this was agreed to Yeas 31, Nays 16, Gen. Jackson voted against the reduction. He was of opinion that the honor as well as the interest of the country required that our ships, as well in war as peace, should be fitted out with materials of our own

jiel Williams,) had been decidedly hostile 'manufacture. A motion was made to

to it; and many of the most decided friends gave the measure all the opposition in their power. To a man of less firmness than general Jackson, his situation would have been peculiary embarrassing; not so to him. He acted, no doubt, from a conviction that he was rendering an essential service to his country, and he performed his duty, as he always does, fearlessly. His friends who opposed the measure, were as much beyond his control, as he was beyond theirs; and so far from holding him responsible for the effects of their opposition, I have attributed to him much merit for adopting an independent course, against their wishes, and at the hazard of his popularity The- first contested vote taken upon the merits of the bill in the senate, was on the motion of Mr. Mills, of Massachusetts, to strike out the duty of ninety cents per one hundred and twelve pounds of bar iron.

This vote was taken in committee of

the whole, and had it been concurred in by the Senate, would, without doubt, have been fatal to the bill ; it was so considered both by the friends and enemies of the bill. On motion to concur in this amendment, it was decided in the negativei Yeas 21, Nays 26. Gen. Jackson continuing to vote in favor of this duty upon iron, and Mr. King, of New

York. Mr. Lloyd, and Mr. Mills, of

of Mass. and Mr. Parrott, ofN. H. continued to vote against it. Mr. Li yd of Massachusetts, moved to strike out the duty of two cents per pound on bmp, which was carried in the affirmative. Yeas 24, Nays 23. The

D'.mes precisely as given above on the

reduce the duty of three cts. per pound upon chain cables, to 2 cents per pound.

Against this Gen. Jackson voted, and the motion was lost by a single vote. The duties upan bar iron, chain cables and sail duck were not particularly im

portant to I ennessee, but very much so to New Jersey, where those articles were manufactured to a great extent. Perhaps this circumstance ha3 in some degree regulated my feelings towards Gen. Jackson. I have seen, in some western papers,

a statement of the votes upon the duties on hemp, cotton bagging and other arti

cles particularly interesting to your section of the country, to which I refer you, and which show that Gen. Jackson has been as attentive to the interest of agri

culture and manufactures of the west as of the east.

On the final passage of the bill as

amended Gen. Jackson was one of the

25 Yeas. So that it will be preceived that 2 Senators from Delaware, one from New York, 2 from Massachusetts and 1 from New Hampshire, uniformly opposed the bill in all its stages, while Gen. Jackson as uniformly supported it. I am with

great respect and esteem, your obedient

Humiliating Picture. In rending the second number of the American Quarterly Review, we met with the following

passage in an article entitled, "Natural i patient bavin

History." It is an humiliating, but not the less true picture of human nature. "Mai may be justlv entitled the great

destroyer and exterminator of life, with

out regard to time, place or circumstance. By his power, the strongest are overcome; by his ingenuity, the most subtile are circumvented, and their energies of body and mind made subservient to his necessities or pleasures. He is superior to the whole animal creation in the noblest attributes; but he enjoys one pre-eminence, for which even the low est have no cause to envy him. All the destructive animals fulfil their dire offices upon creatures belonging to other kinds: when the lion leaps from his ambush, it is into the neck of the wild ox or the antelope that he buries his claws; when the wolves howl in unison, it is the deer they are pursuing; when the scream of the eagle sounds shrillest, then let the wild duck beware! Even the insatiably ferocious tiger keeps aloof from his brethren of blood. But, when the drums roll, and the trumpets clang when the banner's folds are shaken abroad upon the air, and the neigh of the charger reechoes the deep notes of the bright bugle ; then is man, with his boasted reason,

preparing to spill the blood of his brother, to drive his desolating chariot over

the faces of his kindred: spread havoc and despair before his path, and leave

famine and pestilence to track his foot steps." G. U. Emancipation.

A rencountre took place at Huntsville, Alabama, on the 23d ultimo, between James W. M' Clung, a candidate for the Legislature, and Andrew Wills, editor of the "Democrat," which terminated in the death of the latter. We understand from the Huntsville papers, that the quarrel was produced by a communication, w hich appeared in the "Democrat," containing some severe strictures upon the conduct of Mr. M'Clung, who umanded the name ofthe author; which demand was refused by Mr. Wills. Soon after, they met in the street, both armed with pistols, when, after some harsh language, M'Clung shot Wills, who expired about two hours afterwards. The deceased was a native of Scotland, had resided in the United States ten years, was in the 28th year of his age, and has left a wife and three small children, who were entirely dependent on his exertions for support. Mr. M'Clung has been bailed for his appearance at Court. .V. C. Star. Presidential election.
