SANDWICH MAND CAPttnik D?SOWNEB.— Our readers will rejoice to learn tlmt the. Sandwich Island are to be restored to the rightful Sovereign* The London Times, the minstrel organ, has the following statement: "It atipoor* that certain ctt1fnstiaviit]| been prefer-' red agatiifci the Government of the Sandwich Ishmds irkLehalf of British 8ubjecta, and by the British Admiral, the Sovereign of these Islands professed hia inabij. ity to meet the demands in question, but ofTered to divest himself of the sovereignty of his dominion! ia favor of the Queen of Bngland. The British Admiral, emulous perhaps of the recent policy of France in the groupes of islands couth of the Line, accepted the cession of these territories conditionally but lie acknowledged at the same time, that he was acting without in

structions.^and the arrangement was to be.regarded as Id be ratified and approved by

rovisional antil it sbou! Majesty's Government

The view which has Seen taken of this treaty of

cession in this country, is not favorable to its confirmation- Although no blame can be laid 011 Admiral poulett for his share in the transaction,

we ttndrrtlatid

that tie Sandwich Inlands are tot to be annexed to the dominions of the British Crown, but are to be restored to Ike independent authority of the noliM Sovereign.'"

The barque Sharon, of Boston, liad reached England with a cargo ol ice. Lord John Hussul. ift his speech, thus referred to Mr. Webster's speech on

and reciprocity

It does not seem to suit Lord John any more than it will John Hull at lame to eat Indian Coru "1 see that in a late speech delivered in tho United States, Mr. Welwter mentions an inclination he presumes to exist in this country," not indeed to admit wheat and barley, but Indian corn there may some benefit ariec from tlie introduction of Indian corn, but it must be small, inasmuch as it is not the hnbit of the people of the empire to consume it hut I say again, that if we are to make an alteration, do not let us make it as regards Canada merely, or as regards a particular species of grain let us do something openly and fairly and upon a more enlarged principle. As Mr. Webster savs "cither warm itst»r cool ua cither freeze us or burn us, but do not heartlessly attempt nothing."— Although this was said on the other Side the Atlantic, I imagine that it will find many sympathisers on this side of the water

Sir Robert Peel, in his reply, thus adverts to the notion of separate negotiations with the United States:, The honorable gentleman at the same time strongly pressed upon him (Sir Robert Peel the policy of entering into an immediate negotiation with the United States upon the subject of the corn laws, by wnv of offering an equivalent lo them for making a modification to their tariff But would the bon. gentleman ad viee the government to deal exclusively with the Uni ted Stales, and offer to take agricultural pm of the United States upon terms more favorable than those we should offer to other countries? The honorable gentleman said that the abrogation of the corn lawawoaki ho essential to any satisfactory negotiation with the United States. If so, how was it pojmble that any concession of that nature could be made ths basis or a neuoiiation with the United States tf the core laws were now to be repeated?

-If-torn

Peel)

rive from any negotiation with us. Nevertheless Mr. Webbter's speech was a topic of great interest in England, and had been extensively republished.

The lirtnton Herald, at the close of an article on the subject of a commercial treatv between Great Britain and this country, mokes the following statement.—

Mr. Duff Green—the gentleman to whom we have already referred, who wns formerly connected with a Washington journal, and who enjoys, we are told, the Presidents confidence—being lately about _io procefu to Europe, was put by Mr. Tyler into complete possession of his views, and strong recommended by the President to the American resident at this Loan. Mr. Everett was indeed directed by Mr. Tyler to preseht Mr. Green to Sir Robert Peel in reference to this subject. Mr. Green had not however any official character or powers, and his mission was simply, to impress on our government President Tyler's opinion, and to express his willingness to open negotiationsat Washington. Mr. Green has we hear been piaced in commuuication with Sir Robert Peel but it has, we are informed, been intimsted to him that as he is not possessed of any diplomatic powers or character, no expression of opinion or reply to his statements can bo given by the responsible servants of the Britnh Crown. Those statements have been heard with attention sad courtesy., and there the matter ends.

WLKSIBEFORE ^IN A«AESS«F before the Colonization Society, in 1880, in whiclt Br#tei#i Wf slavery awnosteniphati icmlly ex»re«d.

After presenting ia a ctear aud forelWej. lighf j&e prospect *f the society for the gradual eMtWtifon of Slavery, Mr.Ciay ^marked UL*Srd W"fo it "Air, or ahy one, of the SlAtS whicli tetera% slavery may adopt and execute it, by! cooperation or separate exertioU If I could bp. instrumental in eradicating this deepest stain ..upon the character of our country and removing all cause of reproach on account of it» by foreign pntionS —If I could only be instrumental in ridding that revered St itc that £rr« not Uss beloetd Stat* which me as tier son* 1 would not,, etckange tM prmd salisfAction which I *7um% enjop for the honor of all tte triumphs over dedrced to tke mosl successftd conqueror.^ «»We are reproached," continued Mr. Clay, *'with doing mischief by the agitation of the ques-ion. The society goes into no household to disturhi its domestic tranquility. It addresses itself to no slave to weaken his obligations to obedience.

VV,bal

would those iho reproach usdo? If they would repress all .tendency towards liberty and ultimate emanciptttioh, they must do more than put down the benevolent efforts of liberty and independence, and muzzlf the connon which thunders its annual joyous return. Thev must revive the slave trade with all its train of atrocities And when they haw achieved all roese purposes their \vork will yet be incomplete. They rruKt penetrate the human soul, and eradicate the light of reason aud the love of liberty.— Then, and nol till then, when univeasal darkness and despair prevail, can yoxt perpetuate, slavery, and repress all 'sympathies, and all humane and benevolent efforts among freemen in behalf of the nnhnppy portion of our race doomed to bondage."

To the system of colonization, wo believe, Mr. Clny yet looks as'a means for diminish^ itig t.ho proportion.of the black population to the white iti the slave States, until emancipation would be compatible .with the security and interests of the latter.**

It. CL A YON HIS FARM.

I Correspondence of the N- Y. TWisse.^ •, LEXINGTON, Ky. Juuo 16,1843. Our reception at Ashltted this morning was courtefiuH and cordial. We had the pleasure to find tho great statesman of the West at letsuro and in good health. The seven years that had elapsed since I had seen Mr. Clay, seemed to have made very little ravage in his faco orfigure. He stands erect and walks with apparent firmness indeed, to all appetttanoe, is as hale now as he has been nt osjutime during the last ten or fifteen years* LOM mtfy he continue so. After'some time spent jn conversing upon various subjects, ho tooCa stroll with us in his grounds. These are hii^out Mtb great beauty and his park,embracing, as he informs us, one hundred and fifty acres, will compare in advantage to the finest in England* Through these beautiful wooded grounds,, one may drive a chrriage all direciions and for hours, without being exposed lo ihe sun. A more agreeable view than these grounds present, can scarcely be contemplated. This mode of cultivating the pasture grounds is peculiar, 1 believe to Western Kentucky

at least, I have seen it no

where efee in this country. Here, however, it i* very common ttnd Mr. Clay informed us that hundreds in the neighboring region had grounds of this description as fine as his own. We saw many, but none that pleased us in all respects so much as those ot Ashland. Indeed, Mr. Clay's farm, though not the largest, is nevertheless the most beautiful, I thinki of fny about Lexington, which region embraces the garden of the West.

Mr* CLAV.—Nothing is more natural than that those in misfotuneshould desire company. There is something so soothing in sy mpthy that it is ardently longed for by the unfortunate. The Locofoco party is, at present, in a most distressed and distracted condition. The friends of the rival candidates for the Presidency are whacking away at each other without mercy and the character and eonduct of Mr. Van Buren have been broken upon the rack, by some of those who were, heretofore loudest in his support. Wincing under these painful feelings, tne Locofoco press is endeavoring to crcfttc the iinprossion tiuit tho whig party wish to get rid of Mr. Clay as their candidate. Snch an effort is worse than vain —it is nonsensical and absurd for every body must, by this time, know that the avowed preference for Mr. Clay, is almost universal- The practical motto of the Whip is— one harmonious action—one set of principles —one party—OMB

JOESMITH CAUGHT.—TheSt. Louis Republican, of the 31st ult. has the following: "Great excitement at Nuuvoo!—Arrest of Joe Smith, the Mormon Prophets-News was brought last evening by the steamer Osptey, that Joe Smith, the Mormon Prophet, has been arrested aod placed in jail at Ottawa and further, that when the intelligence reached Nsuvoo, 200 horsemen of the legion started immediately for Ottawa, with the intentioo of liberating him. The steamboat Iowa had also been chartered at Nauvoo by the Mormons, and is at present assending the iltiMW river with 150 armed men, to second the attack of the horsemen. Ottawa is situated op the lt!toos,aad is distance about 300 mites from this city. -r «We believe Smith has been traveling

Northern part of the State, for the purpose of keeping from the arrest made under the requisition of the Governor of this State, which accounts for his being lodged io jail at

Ottawa."

But why nre our ears so contmully stunned with this incessant, chaffering about free trade 1 If the advocates of that system are sincerely desirous of seeing it prevail, it Is not to us that their arguments ought to be addressed. Trado consists in buying nnd sell* ing it is carried on by two pnrties and to

be free it must be equal on both sides. The advocutes of free trade ought therefore to address themselves to all the nations. It can have.no good effect to labor that point here* It can have no more good effect here than the preaching of abolition to the people of Ohio where slavery has no existence, whilst the Southern States are left destitute of such exhortation.

Throughout the civilized world,* each nation has its Tariff of duties upon importations from every other, and not only so, but nearly all have their Tariff of duties on.their exports also. And is it supposed that thev will abolish one or both of these duties on being advised that the American people have abanr doned imposts, and resorted to a direct tax to support government thai they have become so generous-i-so philanthropic as to throw themselves upon, the mercy of the world like the 0'aker in regard to physical resistance, and Except to achieve a great moral triumph over the selfishness of nations,.Ipy positive submission

In contemplation of our progress thus far, in the establishment* of free trade, can the most deluded Locofoco for a moment flatter himself, that such a coarse of self-abasement would be productive of any other effect than to call down upon us the universal contempt of all

Free trade on our part while the productions of our farms are taxed all over the world, and to double their price ia this, Aeeds no further discussion at our hands except* in reference to the policv of certain countries which is often alluded to. Much is said by babblers in politics about the unparalleled felicity enjoyed by the people of Cuba and even her bard money currency and her commercial policy held up for our imitation.— Let us for a moment advert to the nature of our intercourse with tlmt portion of the domain of her Catholic majesily. The two great staples of Cuba aft sugar and coffee and of these articles we are her greatest purchaser. Oar last official reports of the exports comes down to 1838—that ywir they amounted to over 30 millions of dollars.-— There was collected as an export dqty in 1841, tbe sum of $1,323,044 as appears by an official report submitted by our Secretary of State on the 27th of December last-s In which year our exports from Cuba amounted to $11,095,772, as shown by the same authority. On Ibis sum we paid $061,322 as an export duty a duty for the priviledge of buying st tbe market prices, and removing out of the country that which the producers were anxious to sell and one-sixth part of which being coffee, was imported 10 this country duty free. This then is the free trade which we enjoy with Cuba, that paradise io the eyes of Locofocos.

But this is but the ooo-half of ooe side of the question. The import duties charged in Cuba are equally onerous to this country.— The duties charged on American goods im| ported there range from 40 to 200 per cent? On flourtbe duty is 9l0,lfi9per barrel. As a specimen of the character off our commerce with that colony of Spain, we give the following, copied from a report made by Congress fcy the Secretary of State on the 31st of March 1842:

In the month of November, 1841, ft vessel of the United States, registered 140 tons, entered the port of Havana with the following manifest of cargo, shipped at New Orleans,

tliis sentiment, that acts of Parliament were passed prohibiting us from carrying on trade with any part of the world except the mother country, and also prohibiting us from carrying on any manufacture which could hy possibility afibct the English market, WhatM our condition now We are not indeed threatened -with tlie passage of acts of parliament to restrain our energies, but it insisted that we shall continue to voluntarily bestow upon England the same advantages and monopoly, upon the pretence that free trade is a cardinal principle of free government and that unless we agree to share our own peculiar advantages of freedom, climajte, soil, and other faculties, with all the worjd, we cuti jp longer cliam to be freemen.

These pretenccs are all unfounded the condition of natural intercourse has nothing to do with the fornrfs of respective governments., Whether the people of a republic shall resolve that those of a monarchy shall or shall not furnish them with those blankets or any other species of mnnuftiture, Cnn hnve no'sort of influence upon the principles of either povernment.

PQLIT1CAL TACTICS.

The tortuous mnnceuvers, and ingenious finessing of so me of the .Locofoco editorial fraternity, is calculated to force upon the mind *f every close observer, the irresistible conclusion, that they have adopted the jesuiscal doctrine that "the end justifies the means,*' or the mercenary soedier's motto, "all is fair in war." «, o, -,4Y

In thb neighboring Stale of Ohio, the suicidal jKilicy pursued by a Locofoco I^egitilature, brought distress and embarrassment upon every ctas&of her citiiens but the offico holders. The disastrous effect of their undiscriminating crusadeagainst all Banks, involving as it did, in the general destruction, some of the soundest and mostbeneficient institutions in tho Union, was apparent even to tho sturdy yeomanry, whom they fancied they could humbug without any trouble. In a short time such tide of popular indignation began to sot ngnipst them, that they drew in their horns nnd retraced their steps as far as they could without unequivocally acknowledging that they had.falsely and trenchorously ruined nnd betrayed their constituents, to promote their own political agrandizment*. ,, .l|U. .*r %.

immaculate Locofoco Legislature, and tho swarm of mercenary office holders that were despoiling the land and blighting Hie budding1' hopes and bright prospects of his native State. Tho authors of all these mischiefs, conscious of their guilt, and sensible of tlie obloquv they had drawn down upon their devoted heads, were dumb as statues until the beneficent effects of that great Whig measure, the Tariff, in combination with othersmnor causes, began to enhaAdttthe products of tho soil. Then through the medium of 11 subsidized press, those venal politicians began to exclaim. "Glorious prospects for the Farmer. Wheat tevenly-fice cents a bushel, As the Banks tumble to pieces, lite farmers produce advances.

The barefaced effrontery of such an argument, is only paralleled by some brilliant feats of Slam Bang &Co., and tho Buttenders of Gotham.. The leaders of the locofoco party in Ohio, have evidently been taken lessons

tho

their illustrious prototypes in tho Em-^ pi re State, to whom we have alluded, andf?£f'V •hey bid fair to surpass their distinguished^ preceptors in desperate nnd unscrupulous measures, when escaping from a dilemma, or? concerling on attack.

The assertion that tho annihilation of the* Banks, and the consequent decreose of the currency of the country, htis produced the advance in the price of wheat, which hag recently taken place, is so palpably nnd ridiculously false, that a party or clique guilty of" a deception so shallow and flimsy, to propi-|g tutean injured and offended people, must be driven to the most pitiable extremity. Wet will now confidently predict that if Locofoco policy should triumph at the next session of' Congress, and the Tariff should bo abolished,. that wheat will again go down to 40 cts.,and that the solons of Ohio will never a^ain borequired to manufacture a reason for its sub-f rcquent advance to 75 cts., or one dollar ag bushel. Such an advance can lh8n only bo*, realized by the election of some firm, tried and honest patriot, liko our Harry of that West, and the adoption, by the General Government, of the great leading measures for* which the Whigs have been battling through "good and evil report," for tho last 10 or 12 years.— Wheeling Gatette. v.-

advocated a protective tariff last summer, on the ground that it would produce a* better market for our farmers. We saidr then, that

prices

of goods, of domestic fabrics'

would fall that the tariff did not come off", the consumer of those goods, as our oppnents argued—that the English fabrics would fallr in the English markets. That even on gooda^ purchased from the foreign shipper, there* would be a reduction on the prices and last*, though not lea«ft, that a better home market* for our wheat, flour, pork, dec. woutd be pro-5 daced. Have these predictions proved true or false True to tho letter. The first, that is the reduction in the price of manufactured goods, took place almost immediately. Tho last, tbe bettering of the markets, is now apparent. Still our opponents are determined to pot down a measure that is producing such benefit. People of Belmont, are you willing that this, the best measure for American prosperity shall be put down 1 whether or not?— Belmont Chronicle.
