VAN It BWSSEI#AERJS"STATEM13NT. We invite the public attention to (be state- [the ment of the veteran Sotomon Vnn Ransselaer, touching his removal as postmaster at Albany. It will be seen that the General threatens a disclosure as to the views of Mr. Tyler, on the Bank question, as expressed by him subsequent'fo* the decease of the lamented Harrifon. Captain Tyler and his guard must took out or they will get a worse cutting up than he gave to the dusky forces of LirrLi ToaTL*, at the battle of the Miamis, in 1794- The old General never draws his •&bre but with effect.—IVcw York Commcrvr 'f iy.«r». -/if vr®p

'ly TO THE PUBLIC., J, ALBANY, April 7INI 1843. V, ^y reccnt removal from the office of postmaster in this city constrains me, in justice to myself, my family and friends, to publish a plain and concise statement of facts.

For the present I shall not notice the vile attack of the Mndisonian, and much less the Journal of Commerce but I call the particular attention of the public to the following letter. Had 1 complied with their wishes I should have escaped the animadverlion of those papers and kept my office.

I, who have never been an agent for any newspaper, and have refrained from politics during my present and former appointment, to be asked to force twenty-three postmasters in this county to the support of a newspaper in favor of John Tyler—and report those who would not comply—for removal! Those postmasters my friends, who aided to elect mo twice to Congress the first time without opposition, the second, (when opposed) by an overwhelming majority. They ought to have known me better. I treated the 7eUer,.witf» contempt and never answered it

I may as well state in this place that I never had any notice from the Post Office Department that was to be or was removed. The first intimation I had was from Mr. Wasson, who called about a week before the gltse of the quarter, and showed me a com HMUiigetion from the Post Master General, infortlriing him that ho was appointed post master in this city, and directing him to send the necessary bonds, when his commission should issue. I told Mr. W. that 1 should not give tip the offico unless I had directions ao to do, and advised him to apprise the Post Master General to that effect. Late in the aflernoou of 31st March, the last day of the quarter, Mr. Wasson received his commis sion which ho showed to me. I at ouce determined to give up the office, and did so that night, although the Post Master General had not condescended to write me on the subject. When removed by Mr. Van Buron I had fourteen days notice to call in my itc count and close the business of my office, bat on this occasion I had not FOBR HQUBS. (COPY-PRIVATE.):

DEAR SIR:—-We take the liberty of addressing you on a subject of some importance to the friends of the Administration, in which we sincerely trust you are disposed to aid us to the extent of your power. You have no doubt received a copy of the "Flag of the Union," (which we hate forwarded you} our weekly paper, published every Saturday, embracing the intire contents of the week of the Daily Union, making 28 columns of closo reading matter for the low price of "one dollar" par annum in advance, and carefully moiled to subscribers'. Our journal is dovbted to the Administration of John Tyler, whose name is at its head for the next Presidency, subject to the decision of a democratic national convention.^5 We arc desirous of enlisting you in the cause, to enable us to give our weekly a good and extensive circulation, in order to spread before the people the ministration.

There are twenty-three postmasters in your •ounty wfth whom you are either acquainted, or can communicato better than ourselves. With those twenty-three and such friends as they could doubtless influence, one hundred subscribers ought easily to be obtained for tn in your county and to accomplish this we •arnestSy solicit your aid and exertions. Of the twenty-three postmasters, on your application in a private friendly mannsr, we do not believe one would refuse, but if we are mistnken, would be glad to know who it is. You be:ng master of the most important office in your county, we have taken, the liberty to select you to do this much for us and the good tause in which we are actively engaged.

One hundred subscribers in your county, at the low rate of one dollar a year, for a paper of twenty-eight columns of interesting matter, is certainly moderate enough, and we jhope you will so far aid us by endeavoring to 'procure them.

If, however, you have not the time or in^clinatioa to comply with the fhvor we solicit, Oiplnase write us frankly to that effect, In order lhat we may endeavor to accomplish our earnest desire through some other channel.

Trusting for an early reply, wo remain, Your friends and ob't sefv?ts, ISAAC PHILLIPS & CO.

•How forcibly does this prediction of Mr. Ewing fall to mind the language used by Locofoco Senator BENTON in 1837- In that year, the year of Uwj Ba»k inflation thus predicted,—an inflation whose eft«R?ie Mr. Ewing said, would be to seem to avert the blow, but to make it fall the heavier at last,—Mr. Benton used the following language in reply to hisQhio friends who invited him to (mrtake of a public dinner- Read it, and contrast Locofoco with Democratic Whig wisdom In 1837, Mr. Benton thus wrote "I congratulate you, gentlemen, on the success Gen.

WI. COST JOHNSON *8 PLA!f OF IUBXIEF TO THE STATE®. Some of the party presses, whether signedly or not, we will not now undertake to say, greatly misrepresent the views of Mr. Johnson, in hia plan of relief for the States. That plan is based on these principles: That the public lands belong to the States^ aud that the General Government have nb 6th&r duty to perform in reference to these lands than to take charge of them as trustees for benefit of the States.

Mr. JOHNSON says, that the debts df tnfr States amount to 200,000,000 of dollars,-—-Fie does not believe, that with the limited resources of the States—all the profitable sctfrces of revenue having been yielded to tba General Government—that the States can pay their debts. To prevent the dire neeot* sity of repudiation, or intolerable taxation, Mr. Johnson proposes that the General Gov* eminent shall issue $200,000,000 of 4 jer cent, stock—that this stock shall bo divided by some equitable plan among the States,— that the States may then exchange these four per ct. stocks for their own bonds^andthat the General Government shall apprty*tfiO. monies arising from the sales of the public lands, which rightly belong to the^ $tntes, as a trustee, to the payment of the interest on the stock thus created an^ for the reimbursement the principal.

These are the principles embraced in the plan of relief presented to the public awl Congress by Mr. WM. COST JOHNSON. ?tis not a plan addressed to any party particularly, but to the people. So for, no party, a* a party, have adopted it. In Ohio, Pennsylvania and Maryland, large meetings have been held without distinction of party, and strong resolutions have been adopted approving of the propositions of Mr. Johnson. Thws resolutions take the ground that the public laod% be4$qg to States—that the "in* derived from them stiould not enter into general disbursements for the support of Government—but that Government should be supported by revenues ta be derived from importation of foreign goods into this coin~try.

We have been induced to slate th? fucfii*in this case, because in some quarters we witnessed a stupid misrepresentation of them. One reitiark we will onty add, that the dominant party in this State, having by sofsmn act of tbe Legislature, approved of the Main doctrines held by Mr. Johnson in relation to the land question, we do not see howJHiey can consistently, denounce his plan,|whicli, if carried into effect, would relieve oufSta^eof a debt placed upon them by tho party, |hat neither the present or a future generation will be able to bear.—Sangamo Journa

That publication, by the leaders of the modern democratic party, is not complained of. We are

gratified

doctrines

Thia question is put

to see our po

litical opponents come out in the full blaze of day with their party doctrines, that the people may understand them.

The

principles

and policy now openly avowed, have been charged upon them by us for years, and the charge has been as often denied. 1 his is the first time, in the history of Indiana, that a political party has raised aloft and flung to the breeze a flag inscribed with the ree Trade

preached by Great Britain

and South Carolina it is, therefore, duo to fhe leaders of the party that avow the policy, well as to the people, that the subject

as should be fairly presented on both sides. Tho pamphlet referred to having presented one side of this question, with some other matters, we proceed to give some thoughts and facts on the other side for the consideration and reflection of the people.

It is not proposed to follow precisely tho order adopted by the writer of the pamphlet we intend, however, to cover, substantially, the ground occupied by him—to state his propositions fairly, and to give our views upon them candidly. We have no motive than to state the true issue between the parties, and to show upon which side of the line the American policy lies.

and

First. That there is

answered in the

to suit the writer and the use he

makes of his definition in the argument. We answer, with all financial writers on tlie subject, that a Tariff is a rate of duty established on imposta by law. That duty may be higher or lower levied for revenue, or for the protection of American industry or for both united. It may be levied upon a horizontal ad valorem scale, applying the same rate of duty to all imported articles indiscriminately or it may be levied upon princU pies of discrimination between different articles as to the duty imposed, exempting some altogether from duty or it may ba what is called retaliatory, or counteracting foreign restrictions, even to the

point

constitutional

power to pass any Tariff law that shall include the protection of American industry above the point absolutely necessary for revenue, or, in the language of one of their most distinguished man, "That if we did not need money for the support of government we should have no Tariff, and whenever the nccessitv ceases the Tariff showld cease."

Secwidf^. TKfiT it would be inexpedient to exercise the power if we possess it, although a Tariff for revenue might fall below the point of protection, and of consequence

Thirdly. That the free trade doctrines preached, but never practised by Great Britain and South Carolina, present the true policy of the United States.

The Whigs, with the old Republican ptrty, maintain the constitutionality and expediency of protecting American industry by tariff laws even above the revenue point, if it should be nccessary to go above that point, and they repudiate the British free trade doctrines as being a

mere

delusion, and whol

ly impracticable. Have we the constitutional power to enact a protective Tariff above the revenue point, if necessary? What is understood by protection? It is the right of self-defence, possessed by individuals in a state of nature and carried with them into society, modified only by the laws that are thrown around them by the sovereign power. It is a right in a national point of view of defending the flag, the honor, the citizens, the property, and the industry of the nation against the policy and laws of other nations, as well as against force without law. The power to pass laws for the government of the people of a nation is of high prerogative, let the laws emanate from what source of power they may. The power to levy imposts is incident to all governments possessing sovereignty, and without which power no government could long prosper aa it is the power of self-defence, all independent nations maintain and exercise it. Great Britain exercised it for'herself and her colonies, and the States that formed the confederacy, after they threw off their allegiance lo the mother country, exercised it in severalty. But when the federal constitution waa formed, the States gave up the power to the General Government, and it was inserted in express language in the constitution of the United States no one entertained a doubt but that the right to exercise this power in tbe most ample manner was essential to the prosperity of the people and the independence of the nation hence in order to give it more efficiency, and among other objects to enable the General Government to protect and promote the interest of the whole, so far as tbe exercise of this, with the other delegations of power, would enable her to do, it waa expressly granted in the constitution, that "the

Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts* Arc

LATEST FROM CANTO*.

By tlie Baltimore clipper built' ship Spfen* did, we hava Canton, dates to Dec. 27, eleven days later, 1

The opinion of the Brltiah plenipotentiary' ia that the late riot was provoked by tho Lascars belonging to the British ships, and blames the british merchants for neglecting *to control the crews of their vessels. Tho Canton papers are mostly occupied with the correspondence between the plenipotentiary and the merchants.

CANTON, Dec. 27 1842.

Mr. Thorn has been several days in Can* ton collecting evidences in the matter of the late insurrection? and we understand intends to confirm the statements made to her Majes* ty'a Plenipotentiary by the British merchants in their letter to H. E. dated the 23d inst.

An eye witness has informed us that during the very acme of tbe tumult, five Lascars were seen to walk leisurely and unmolested from the point to the Danish hong, which is a clear proof that the multitude, who were then destroying the British hong, had not vengeance on the Lascars for their object indeed many of the compradors and hong pursers told several foreigners that tbe quarrel with the Lascars was only a pretext, and merely precipitated the long intended and organized outbreak ana that four parties of500 men all dressed alike, with distinguishing badges and armed with swords and powder bass in their girdles, instantly assembled, pulled dowor the garden wall of the British consulate and pelted off the workmen, who were repairing the verandah, with stones and brickbats.

TBE CHINESE NAW.—From the lateat Pekin Gazettes, we perceive that much interest exists in the imperial cabinet, on the subject of constructing ships of war after foreign modols. It appears that Kin Yinglin, one of the ministers, laid drawings of the shipaof sundry forms before his majesty, accompained by strong recommendations for an increased number of efficient fighting ships. Upon this, the emperor sends all the drawings to Yishan, at Canton, ordering him to have vessels constructed, if he considered Kinying's plans the most feasible. Yishan, in a very lengthy memorial, shows that no kind of vessels are at all proproper for fighting, except those constructed after foreign models.

He speaks of the wonderfitl reports of the high officers of the U. S. ships Constellation and Boston, during their visit at Whampoa, and proposes that they be the model of all Chinese ships of war herafter to be built.—— The Emperor, therefore, orders ships to be built of the kind recommended, and of the best materials. His Majesty also states, that as the ships are now needed, there wilt not be time to wait for them to be built, but onto* Yih* ban to send the hong merchants to buy the ships which th* bmrbmrntMsm kmra and at the same time, to despatch proper officers to procure the strongest materials possible for

ship building. Yihshan states in his memorial that one ship after the foreign model has been built at Canton, and Which is able to go out t9 sea, and that two more are on the stocks.
