OCrTne new arrangement in the mail?, on the Hartford route, and the high waters for a few weeks past, hare prevented
the conveyance of way papers in that di
rection almost entirely. We hope1, so soon as the mail can pass down regularly to be able to furnish our subscribers in
that direction with their papers as usual.
his blessings. He has filled our moUu-'(ft would be well for subscribers to make
tains and our plains with mineral? wuh lead, iron and copper, and given us climate and soil for the growing of hemp and wool. These being the grand materials of our national defence, they ought to have extended to them adequate and fair protection, that our own manufactories 8z, labourers may be placed on a fair competition with those ol Europe, and that we may have within our country a tupply of those leading and important articles so essential in war. Beyond this I look at the Tariff with an eye to the proper distribution of labor, & to revenue, & with a view to the discharge of our national debt. I am one of those who do not believe that a national debt is a national blessing, but rather a curse to a republic; inasmuch as it is calculated to raise around the Administration a monied Aristocracy dangerous to the liberties of the country. This Tariff I mean a judicious one possesses more fanciful than real danger. I will ask what is the real situation of the agriculturalist? where has the American farmer a market for his surplus product? except for cotton, he lias neither a foreign or home market. Does not this clearly prove, when there is no market either at home or abroad, that there '19 too much labor employed in agriculture, and that tile channels for labor shouid be multiplied? common sense points out at once the remedy, draw from agriculture this superabundant labor, employ it in mechanism and manufactures, thereby creating a home market for your bread stuff?, &, distributing labor to the most profitable account ; and benefits to the country will result. Take from agriculture in tne U. States, eix hundred thousand men, women, and children and you will at once give a home market for more bread stuffs than all Europe now furnishes us. In 6hort, bir, we have been too long subject to the policy of the British merchants. It is time that
we should become a little more Ameri
canized, and instead of feeding the pau
pers and laborers of England, feed our
own; or else in a 6hort time by contiuu
ing our preseut policy we 6ha!l all be
rendered paupers ourselves.
It is therefore my opinion that a care'
ful and judicious Tariff is much wanted
to pay our national debt, and afford us
the means ot that defence within our
selves, on which the safety of our country and liberty depend; and last, tho' not least, give a proper uistiibulion to our labor, which must prove beneficial to the happiness, independence, auo wealth of tne community. This is a short ouiiiue of my opinions, generally, on the subject ofyour inquiry, and believing them correct, and calculated to further the' prosperity and Happi
ness of my countn, I declare to you ii
would not barter ttiem tor any ouice or situation of a temporal character that could be given me. I have presented you my opinions freely, because I am without concealment,
some arrangements themselves with the
post rider, so that he may know at what place to leave their papers. f We have been requested to announce Israel T. Candy, of Jefferson county, as a candidate for Governor, and
'Ratliff Boon, of Warrick, as a candi
date, fgr Lieutenant Governor, at the ensuing annual election.
Mr. Clay's Address. The address of Henry Clay to the public, in relation to the charge of corruption preferred against him at the last presidential election, has come to hand. It occupies about eight columns of closely printed matter in the Nttional Intelligencer. Our readers may expect it 0 soon as we have room.
business, the convention adjourned to
meet next evening in the Senate chamber. The A (MresS reported and the names of the persons forming the electo
ral ticket, may be seen by a reference to
the first page of thU paper.
The general acquaintance the people have heretofore had with the gentlemen
selected by the convention, as elector?,
renders commendatory noticesof them in
dividually unnecessary. Suffice it to sn ,
that they are the joint choice of 48 dele gates, representing 26 of the most popu
lous counties in the state; a number lar
ger than could have been expected, taking into consideration the high waters and extreme badness of the roads. We are verbally informed that the friends of the Administration met in convention, at the same dace, on the 12h inst. for the purpose of forming an electoral ticket. Further particulars given hereafter.
The Season. Tne present has been
the most singular season we ever recol
lect to have witnessed. It is now past the middle of January and we have not
yet had enough of snow to cover the
ground. Since the 1st of December to
within a day or two past, the heavens have been over-shadowed with den6e
clouds, which continued to discharge tor
rents of water all over the countr) . The streams in every direction have been raised to a great height, and in some instances much above an)' former flood recollected. The consequences in many places along the smaller rivers have been most disastrous and distressing.
On the Cumberland "river, in Tennessee,
houses, barns, cattle, &c. have been car
ried away in the flood. In Ohio and
some Darts of Pennsylvania its effect has
been equally destructive to bridges, ca nals, mills, &c. Persons residing off from the Ohio ri
ver have probably concluded that this
stream has been unusually high; and so it was for the ecaeon, but not as high as in March 1826, by about 2 1-2 or 3 feet.
It is supposed, however, that more water
passed down the Ohio during the late
flood, as it retained its heighth, with little variation, almost a week, an uncommon circumstance. The river has fallen about 10 feet, and is almost within its banks.
In compliance with the wishes of a number of our Adams friends, we insert to day an article from the Harrisburgh Argus, in relation to the vote of General Jackson in the Congress of 1796. On this subject we will barely remark, that we consider it somewhat foreign to the
point at i$sup. In the investigation of
the public and private character and political principles of the two uval candidates, we should not seek for a correct criterion in the acts of their early life. It is from the general tenor of their public act?, and their present avowed senti
ments on greM political questions, that
we are to judge of their fitness for the
like to which they aspire.
will become a law ; at least if it does not,
it will owe its defeat to causes other than the abandonment of its western friends. An act has passed the Senate to authorize the sale of our school lands, and is
amongst the orders of the day in the house. A bill has been introduced in the house, to authorize the occupation of
the Oregon River, with a military force,
and authorising the President to extin
guish the Indian title to a quantity of
land at the mouth of said river, not ex
ceeding fifty miles square, to erect it in-
to a territory ccc. the strengtn ol the house has not been tried on the bill, and I can say nothing as to its fate. I am very much disposed to think we shall have no additions to the tariff this ses-
sion judging ot the disposition or a ma
jority of the house, by the vote on the
resolution, to authoiizc and empower the
committee on manufactures, to send for
persons and papers, and to examine the
witnesses on oath; this resolution was
considered here, bearirg directly on the
question indeed you will see Mr. Floyd of Virginia, expresses himself go as not
to be misunderstood on the subject.. There has been something said in the
house, about our session being a short 1 . 1 . i
one; out ludcine trom tne huiness ai-
ready iitroduced, and the daily accumulation of i, the session will last tillome
time m May. I should be glad it we could dispose of the business advanta
geously sooner, and get home ; but I have
