Dallas Distribution and Bank ' Dare any of the Pollute Demagogues who are now traversing the country to (ton the minds of the credulous, publish if names to a denial of any one charg i the following extract taken from a speech of Mr. Heed of Pennsylvania, made Ia9t month ? Snre'j a wise and honest people after long suffering, sv ill now judge of the candidates for the chief Mag istracy of the Union by their past conduct ; an I not permit the fabricated uies told by unscrupulous partizans to make any ini predion upon their minds. The deceit and unworthiness of Polk have not been overlooked, heretofore, but Dallas has been almost out of view ; therefore this authen tic extract is recommended to the seriou consideration of those who desire to know the truth. The Distribution of the pro ceeds of the Public Lands is the point up on which the Tariff question turns and not the TarifTalone but our freedom from dtbt and taxation, yet the Polkites oppose it and the changed views of Dallas in relation to a United Slates Bank, may be fairlv taken as evideuce of his tergiversa tions and insincerity upon all other meas ures. if we lived under a government created for a few favorite partizans, and

not a government of the whole people, J the consistency of such third-rate men as

Polk and Dallas might be passed to re mark upon the action of the master spir its of the faction ; but as they have been thrust forward to take the people by sur prise, their conduct must b made known

to those who are to decide upon their fitness for the ofiioes to which they aspire. "Mr. Dallas will, no doubt, think it high praise when I say of him, in the first place, that he is, as a public man, in opin ion and in action, the very reverse of Mr. Frelinghuysen; and in the next, that he is a fit representative of his party, and the incarnation of their principles and versatility. Take for example, any one of the party questions of the day, and see what his course has been. Tr.ke, for example, the distribution of the public lands. In 1833 that was a Democratic measure, and Mr. Dallas favored it. In ISM the young Democracy is against it Mr. Dallas is against it too. His votes are a perfect curiosity. I read them now from tho Jour r.al : In Senatk of the United St;"p?. April 1G, 1S3VJ. .Mr. Clay, from the Cortimiuee on Manufacturers, reported his bill for the disiribution among the States of the proceeds ot the public lands. May D, 13J2. Mr. King, of Alabama, moved to refer Mr. Clay's bill to the Commiltee on Public Lands, known to be hostile to the bill. On this question there

was a tie vote 2'i to 22; Mr. Dallas vot ing with Messrs. Clay, Webster, Freling huysen. &c. in the negative. The Vice President (Mr. Calhoun) gave the casting vote in the affirmative. May IN. 1S32. Committee on Public Lands reported against Mr. Clav'3 bill, and in favor of reducing the price of the lands to a minimum of one dollar per acre. June 30, 132. A motion to postpone ndefinitely, Mr. ('lay's distribution bill; ost, 17 to 25 ; Mr. Dallas voting in the negative. Same day. Motion to lav Mr. ('lav's Ijill on the table; rejected 15 to 17; Mr. Dallas voting against it. July 2, 1832. Mr. Uenton's amend ment to reduce the price of tho lands to 81 per acre ; rejected, 21 to 27 ; Mr. Dalas voting in the negative. Same day. Mr. Uenton's amendment reducing tooOcts. per acre all lands which lad been over five years in market ; reected, 20 to2N; Mr. Dallas voting in the negative. b'ime day. Mr. Poindexter'a amend ment to allow the new States 12 per cent instead of 10; agreed to, 27 to 20; Mr. Henton and Mr. Clay voting for it : Mr. Dallas voting against it. Sonic day. Amendment of Hendricks to allow Mississippi, Louisiana, Missouri. Indiana, Alabama, and Illinois 000,000 acres each; agreed to, 28 to 16; Benton, Clay, and Frelinghuysen voting for it; Mr. Dallas votma against it. Same day. Mr. Hayne's amendment to strike out the objects to which the States are to' apply the land fund, so as to allow them to usa it as they pleased ; rejected, 20 to 27 ; Mr. Dillas voting aeainst it. Same day. Mr. Robinson's amend ment to i educe the price of lands over ten vears in market to$l, and to actual settlers 50 cents rejected, 19 to 24; Mr. Dallas voting against it. Same day. Mr. Clay s land distribu tion bill ordered to a third reading, 24 to IN Mr. Dallas voting for it. July 3, 1S32. Mr. Clay's land distri bution bill finally passed the Senate, 26 to 18 Mr Dallas voting for it. On this subject of distribution Mr. Dal las was not instructed. Yet, after all this, the Baltimore Con. vention resolves that any law for distribu tion is not merely inexpedient, but uncon stitutional, and Mr. Dallas, his eyesight becoming clearer as he mounts the steps of the ladder, writes to Mr. Wentworth that he thinks so too. Whe: the friends of Mr. Polk held their ratification meeting in Philadelphia they went with music- and banners to cheer their Vice President, and Mr. Dallas made them a speech. And what do you think he said ? He told them not that Mr. Polk was a tariff man that fiction was not thought of, and if it had been, I do not believe Mr. Dallas would have sanctioned it but, said he, I assure vou, my friends it is all a mistake to say Mr. Polk is not a great man ; he is, I assure you, really a oreat man. If I had time and the Jour nals I could prove it; but the best securi ty you have of his principles is that he is a friend and neighbor of Gen. Jackson, and therefore anti-bank, anti-distribution, and, he was about to say, anti-tariff, but the word stuck in his Pennsylvania throat,and he said, what, by the by, is pretty much the same thing, 'for immediate annexation.' Anti. bank! Mr. Dallas and his party think it glory enough to be anti-bank! It was dark, verv dark. wh?n Mr. Dallas made this speech. It was a torch-light meeting where shadows were broad and deep. Had it not been, I could not but think, so well do I yet thtnk of Mr. Dal las' gentlemanly instincts, there would have been detected a gentle blush as he articulated anti-bank.' I do not mean to detain you with the record of Mr. Dallas' votes on this subject, though it is here be fore me, but 1 do not hesitate to say, de fying contradiction, that from the day, the 9:h January, 1832, when in the Senate he proclaimed himself the willing agent to obtain the recharter of the bank till the 15th of July, when he voted for the bil in spite of Gen. Jackson's veto, a more thorough, devoted, out and out Bank of the United State man wbs not to be found in

this country.

Nay, this is not all. The interval recantation is shorter still. As late as 7ih July, 1S36, Mr. Dallas wro;e a letter which contained these memorable words : Jcly 7, 183G. 4 Of the constitutional power of the National Government to create a bank, 1 did not i hen, nor do I wow, entertain a doubt. Of the ability of Congress to create such It 1 n

a oanti as would be a sate machine of finance and a serviceable atrent in nrpnr. inga sound cirrency, I then icas.as I still am, convinced. And yet in in eight short years, me Baltimore Convention resolves as fol lows: 4 Rcsched. That Congress has no power to charter a National Bank; that we believe such an institution one of deadlv hostility to the best interests of the coun try, dangerous to our republican institutions and the liberties of the people, and calculated to place the business of the country within the control of a concentrated money power, and above the laws and will of the people.' And Mr. Dallas writes to Mr. Wentworth, or Mr. Somebody else, that he does not entertain a doubt but it is so." The Sun of week before last endeavored to give quite a glossy appearance to Mr. James K. Polk, by trying to make it ap pear that, he, and he only was the true friend of the old soldiers, and particularly of those who fought under Wayne Sec, &c. Heaven save tho mark! All the answer needed from us, upon a matter of that kind, emanating from the source it does, is contained in the following, sup ported by solemn affirmation, and by a Justice too, who holds his office only du ring the pleasure of John T'sr, who-j would shew him little meroy, if he had stated any thine- but the truth; -'and wa doubt much whether he will any how, since he has become a thorough going polkile, thunder and all.

It will be reoollected, that some time go, we gave Mr. Graves' views of the facts in relation to the Ciliey duel, which exculpated Mr. ('lay from even the slightest blame. Below w-give the statement

of Mr. King, a gentleman of undoubted honor, who vas cognizant of the affair, and which is another conclusive vindication of Mr. Clay, from the foul aspersions of his bitter enemies. "Mr. King related several facts in connexion with the Cilley Duel which de3erve repetition. Mr. K. was in Washington at the time. He dined with Mr. Graves on the day tlie challenge was sent to Cilley; at the moment lie learned the fact, he, with a friend, proceeded to Mr. Clay's lodgings to prevent, if possi

ble, the meeting. Mr. Clay heartily seconded the plans proposed to avert the duel, but before any project was deterj mined upon for that purpose, .Mr. Graves came in, and remarked that any interferjence on their part would be received uni kindly by him. Mr. G. exhibited tho challenge, as it had been written, (o Mr. j Clay. Mr. C. objected to its phraseology on the ground that it offered no opportuiniyjor reconciliation. This he insisted. should be done; and wrote w ith his own hand, another note, which was sc' drawn that Mr. Cilley might with honor, make an explanation and prevent the fatal meeting. This note, thns modified for this peaceful purpose, was sent to Mr. Cilley; but he did not avail himself of the escape which had been purposely placed before him. He had blood-minded advisers about him, and hey compelled him to accept the challenge. They also advised him to choose the rifie as the weapon with which the duel should bs fought. There wero two reasons for this, it was a weapon with which Cilley was acquainted, and he was the best shot in Washington: Ciraves knew nothing about it. In order to effect his purpose more certainly. Dr. Duncan accompanied Cilley for practice in the afternoon preceding the duel, and in six shots Cilley cut down a sapling at eight paies! Mr. King remarked ihst, when he learned that the challenge had been accepted and rifles selected as tbe weapons, himself, with Mr. Clay, determined if possible to prevent Mr. Graves from being able to obtain a rifie, and they had succeeded as they snpposed;but after they retired, Dr. Duncan, who acted as one of Cilley's friends, tauntingly sent his riflle to Mr. Graves, with the message that no time need bs lost for the want of a rifle. Of this message Mr. King and Mr. Clay was entirely ignorant. They had retired with the conviction tl.at tlie meeting could not take place at tlie time. designated. Between six and seven o'clock, however, nxt morning, Mr. King was called and informed that Graves and Cillev, with their friends, had gone out. Mr. K. immediately proceeded to Mr. Clay's lodgings, called him up, and after a few moments' consultation, Mr. Clay wrote wles to two of tii-- District justices, informing them of what ?ras going on, and requesting their immediate interposition. These mtes were carried by Mr. King and Mr. R. Johnson, of Baltimore the warrants were obtained, and tho proper officers, in company wiJh these gentlemen, proceeded to search for the combatants in two directions. But unfortunately they could not be found, and the duel took pi; c . To show that Mr. Cilley's friends were confident in his skill, bets were offered in the house of Representatives, by a locoforo, that at thetimfe named Graves was a dead man; or a-s it was said, "the turkey was shot." Not a man believed that Graves would escape, for all knew tho perfection of Cilley's skill with the rifle. But Giaves escaped shd Cilley fell, and his blood rests upon tht5 heads of his friends who pushed him into tbe light, notwithstanding the means of escape opened to him by Mr. Clay, whose efforts to prevent the meeting were unceasing from the moment the facts came io his knowledge. Yet with these facts before them, Mr. Clay's enemies fiendishly connected him with this Tatal affair! With ibe hiptory of this unfortunate affair before them, we have no fears of the decision of the people." Tahiff the Tvclk of Thrkf.. It id recently statcil, and stands uncontradicted, that the state pf Massachusetts consumes nually product of other States to tl.e ex teni eff fort millions of dollars, cf which seven millions of dollars arc paid foi breadstuff. Now, if one of the New England States takes of Southern and Western produce to the extent of forty millions of dollar. what do all the New T!n?land States take per an num? I havo no means before me of knowing, but as the manufacturing business is carried on to some extent in Connecticut, KhoJe Island am! Vermont, Igues that all the New rjglanJ elates take at least bixty millions of dollars' worth per annum,- and we all know the '.jantities arc increasing. Well, if the New England States fake annuil'v sixty millions of the products of our soil under a protective tariff what amount will they require under an opposite policy! I have, no means of knowing precisely, but I ehould say that undei the latter disastrous policy they would not require more than about twenty millions worth of the products of the west and South, because from : half to two-thidrds of the operatives would be thrown out of employ, and n nBeqoantIy be without the means of purchasing. In viewof these things, it behoove" !he fa'mers and planters j of the porth and west to investigate the subject of the tariif before they again go to the polls to vote for members of the next Congress and if they do it without prejudice, they w ill, I doubt not arrive at the conclusion that th protective pnlicr enhances the value of their estates.
