intelligent Polish gentleman—ow of the exi»d WlrioUoon the subject of th« tariff.-— His language was decided aod remarkable,

English goods were rigorously debarred. Af

the downfall of the Corsican, the Auto* «rnt, foreseeing the benefits to ensure from •jt, continued the tariff. Since the days.of Peter the Great,1 Russia has flourished bv the irery dint of her HOME POLICY, Well tho restriction went hard with us for three or four years for we had to begin every thing. But necessity has laws, and they are often good ones. Our people nnd artisaoswentto work—mills and manufactories were erected sheep were introduced from abroad machanics of unsurpassed skill enme from England & France, and found ready employment fields that were wastes or pleasure grounds were planted and became productive ——every principle of industry was devel-ped:-and the result was that, in eight years af^TER the first instituton of the tariff, we had BET

"Sir," he em"plmticully concluded, "had it not been for the Polish tariff, the Russian soldierly would have reached the citadel of Warsaw, at the termination of our last contest with ihom much sooner thnn they did for, I tell you, a good stiff tariff teachcs the citizens of a country to rely upon Ihcirown energies—inspires ihe national body with confidence in its own resources—nnd if you husband these, you fill the national coffers." r"

rumored that Amos Kendall is to be Postmaster General, and that C. A. Wickliffe is to go out,as Minister to France so says the Washington Capitol. The whig party are row placed precisely in the same situation 'ns they were in '40-— the Whole patronage and power of the Executive and Post Office Departments to contend against—forty thousand office-holders in the pay of Corrupt and treacherous Executive, interfering with freedom ^electiona^-using their officers as political engines, and made to do his bidding.

With Amos Kendall at its hoad, who can oabt that the Post Office Department will again used, as it was in 1840, for electioneering purposes, Tyler knows that he can„not hope to be elected to the Preaidecy and lie is new doing every thing he possibly can to blast the prospects of HBKRT CLAY.'

A friend told us, some time since, that in rail-road oar, a circumstance arose in his presence in relation to Henry Clay, in which a foreigner, with a strong German accent— a gentleman of greafHebrew erudition-spoke of Henry Clay as a dishonest man. A Gentleman opposite, a distinguished member of tho Ohio bar interrupted him and after a courteous apology for the liberty which took, taid—"Sir. I am the most violent locofoco in the strongttst district in Ohio, but in my section there is noj^a democrat who would not take off his coat to chastise the scoundrel who would dare to say that Henry Clay ia dishonest* the whig party has no exclusive right to the glory of Henry Clay's character.

At no period in our country's history has the vario ts departments of government been as fhoipughly infested with men whom the* head oft I us article is the most fit cognomen, as tho ftfpmt: amT we doubt verjt much that the ftiffire will produce a parallel for it. The lenders of the tub parti coloured bands, Opposed ta the great Whig Mrty. the Locos to a leaslf, and the Tylefites to a great' er degree, appear to be intriguing with their felbw-partizans, and with each other as parties, and we have often thought that if let alone, they would, like their notable prototypes the Kilkenny cats, eat themselves up." "The Locos have five of their "big Indians," on the anxious seat for a nomination for the. Presidency. These five chiefs have each their particular friends in their tribes, and these friends, are hungry ibr a "mess of pottage" ond this grandeur of a great name to be bequeathed to their worthless progeny.— The chief loco| and their wire-workers will yet split the party before the lection into so many atoms that if some one should collect the fragments it will be hard to tell whether (hey were parts of a circle or a square.— This, and the election of Henry Clay will verify the adage, "when rogues fall out, honest men get their dues." In an enlightened country like ours, success never attends the labor of intrigueing 'politicians—the free press, ever watchful as argus, at the doors of our political edifice, will force them to exclaim, skilled though they be in trickery, "Othello's occupation's gone 1"

The high estimation in which British cattle is held by continental graziers is evinced by the large orders which have boon recently received frcm various distinguished foreigners* who, having attended tho great cattle shows of the country, are seoking to improve their own stocks by across of the best English breeds,as well as in the adoption of our improvements in the feeding and treatment of the animals.

There is not enough of this clan to make "flash in tho pan." They have done all the harm they can do, and thanks to our Constitution the time is not far distant, when "the wicked shall cease from troubling." They have all tried to imitate Talleyrand and the worthies who flourished cotemporary with him in France, and if they had been possessod of the ingenuity of these French intriguers they would not have lacked any other requisites to have personated those characters.

What a mass of these unfortunate beings will bo consigned to the political Tophet of the country in 1844* "unwept, unhonored and unsung!" it pains our ears to think how these "luckless wights," will bemoan their bint ted hopes, as the people pronounce their doom, "depart ye accursed!" Yet, this is the inevitable fate of all who betray the trusts reposed in them—and their fall, which is like Lucifer's, should be a warning to all who venture upon the turbulent sen of political strife. In the language of Davy Crockett, politicians should, "bo sure they're right, then go ahead." ^4:

Mow TO MAKE MONEY.—Let the business of every body else alone, and attend to your own. Don't buy what you don't want. Use every hour to advantage, and let your study be to make even leisure hours useful. Think twice boforo you throw away a dollar remember you will have another to make for it. Find recreation in looking after your business, and so vour business will not be neglected in looking after recreation. Buy low, sell fair, and take care of your profits.

There was a Texiaa here some ten or fifteen days, ago on his way to the mountains he informed me that there was a general dissatisfaction in the Texian) camp, and that in all probability they had broken up and dispersed. dWhen ARMEJO, the present Governor of Santa Fe, received intelligence of the capture of his kansas, he retreated to Santa Fe with all speed, as the account given him of the number of Texians had been much exaggerated. On his arrival at Santa Fe he had informa* tion by express that a part of the Texians had been captured by the United States Dragoons, and that the Texians had not, at any time, exceeded two hundred in number, then ordered out two hundred troops

*The Knoxville (Tennu) Register of the 16th instant, in placing the name of HENRY CLAT nt tho head of its editorial column, as its candidate for the next Presidency, thus spqakp—

Up goes the flag of gallant HABRY OF TBB WEST to our mast bead to-day there to remain until, tti w© fondly trust, victory shall be written upon its folds, and until the united voices of a nation of enlightened freemen have proclaimed the noble Kentuckian to be the country's choice for the first office in -their gift. Our preference for Mr. Clay is and has long been well known—we have been at no. pains to conceal it, and have only refrained from elevating his honored name to the lop of our columns, from a desire that one campaign should be closed before another was commenced. Now, however the struggle of our State canvass is over—the triumph has been achieved—the conquest is won—and we are ouce more prepared to put our shoulders to the wheel, and to enter upon the great Presidential contest before us. In that contest, the Whigs of the United "State look to Henry Gay of Kentucky as their leader— the Whigs of Tennessee desire no other capstain—be is their first, their last, and their only choice—under his banner they will again rally as one man—for him they will fight— and with him they can, they MUST, they moat .surely wtu. conquer.

RESUSCITATION OP A DEFEATED PARTT^— The New York Aurora, a sumi-official paper, referring in the late appointments of Van Buren men to office, and the dismissal of Whigs, says:— "Thus has President TYLER wrought not a full and complete restoration of democracy in the public concerns of tlw country aod let no man say be is at heart a Whig, or a friend to Whigs or their principles. They are his most bitter and implacable enemies, and tkey will fad kim,henceforth aMdforaar. la the day of his death, A roaxiiuBus ANT trRFALTERING FOE."

From lit Courier, August 30.* Tm CGI-LWORSHI?.—The Times ef vastwday erpreases its belief thst the appointment of Mr. RAirroot to the colfectorw'ip of Boston, jn place of Mr- LtJicntw, "gives general satisfaction |w It mtist have required a good degree of tredulify and ne small qusntitv of assurance to enable one who' mixes much with the people in the public streets to promulgate snch declaration. TPs believe that nochawte of public officers ever made by ihe National Administration was more nnpopnlarin Boston-than this. There is hardly a voioa heard in approbation. 7*kefrttktfr agaimst it it allbtU Knaitimoxs. Whether the change be agreeable to the editor of ihq Times or not, is a question which he may decide with perfect propriety hut it seems to us (we sav it with great deference* th£t the declaration alluded to above, is a gross perversion of a fact.

It is laughable (n the freqHtut attempt* fmprt** on President Tvtrat a hditf

TheV may. for aught we know, be rewarded for their knaverv, ami, among themselvtx, may acquire credit for their skill nnd success ofrtiplomecv but the President is evidentin this sort h/ the it*pe their artifices. The President has never sought our friendship, nor are we Uttljff any obligation to step between him "nnd the men wl6 are using him ns an instrument to nceomnlish their own selfish purposes, and who will eventual Iv (aui do eeen laugh at him for wednlity nnd suhserviency to their plana but wevolnntarily and gratuitouslv assume the office of a friend,and by virtue of that office, we tell him that ha i»

He has not attached to himself a* a friend a single individual of that branch of the Democratic party which supported th« election of MR. VAN BURKN. That party were his hi tter opponents in 1840 they are i»* still and thep wiH bt so in 1844, Mark our words, Mr. President! This is no badinage, but serious, sober truth.

The Boston Atlas gives the following aceoant of an occurrence, which reflects great credit oc the cliaracter of a gentleman of that city. "Some time, we believe, in the month of November, 1841. the mercantile house of Shalton, Brothers fc Co. of this city—borne down by the uncommon pressure Of that time—found it necessary to suspend payment of their debts, and to close up the business of the firm. Their creditors, af'eran investigation of

their

concerns,

agreed to nf iin miwrnii «»S «i»»»» respective demands, and release the house entirely from their obligations. This agreement was entered into by all the creditors. The stipulated per centags was paid, and the demands cancelled.—Since the time of the failure of the house. Mr. Henry Shelton, one of the partners, has departed this life.

PHIM S- SWELTOW, Esq., the surviving partner, proceeded, with undaunted and persevering energy, to wind up the concerns of the old firm, and to commence business anew, on bis own account. In his new enterprize, we are happy to Say he has been prosperous—and thnt he has made most honorable use of his prosperity.

On Tuesday Inst, he made anew dividend among all his creditors, of twentv-five per cent, upon the full amount of their cancelled demands against his former house-pflving out to them the aggregate sum nf forti/ thousand dollars, for which they had no legal claim upon whatever. This pavhturit was entirely volnnjarv on his part—and it ftlabeen made, not onlv to individual creditors, but, in some instances, to rich corporations, by whom the lus»%onld not have been felt."

MONEY AND BUSINESS MATTERS. The New York Cotnmercisl Advertiser of Saturday afternoon says—

The improvement in trade which has taken place tn the last three or four months will ef itselfgive employment to considerable sums hitherto idle. Il hashed' the effect

stimulate importations of foreign poods,

notwithstanding the ontcry against the tariff. Wo sis informed that tne receipts for daties in this city in the month of July were #1,200.500.

Those in August were #1.600.000 and an equal if not larger sum Is anticipated for the current month.— the importers sent ont orders freelv ihs moment they peroeived a demand for goods, and the ahips now arriving bring in full cargoes. The effect of these importations ia now perceptible upon the foreign exchsnMs, which are firm billaon London being held nt 91. No large smount can be expected from the South for n«r* ly 60 days, am! the meantime there is every probability of a farthered vance in bills and of shipments of specie. We do not feason from this that money is likely to be scarce, bat that there is every probability of an advance from the present low rates to perhaps 5 or 6 per oent.. Wore the close of the year.

The feeling in the community as business improves ia brooming more favorable to the tariff, and the impression is now decidedly adverse to any alteration or repeal by the coming Congress The fact is daily becoming more evident ihat our importations under the present duties will be quite ss large as the necessities of rhe country require. Those recently made, as we understand, pay good profits and find ready sale, and the importers are little disposed to grumble at a state of things whichis fast putting money in their pockets.

A WHW—Bp

Dr. FrantU*.—The

Whig lives in every State, but wishes to live only in a free State. Ho claims ao right to himself bat what ha is willing to give to his neighbor. He is not titled in sects by sounds, nor kept in them by prejudice, his mind is not contracted by systems, nor soared by bigot* it is open to God and nature. He is not attached to person or faction but to things, to justice, to liberty, to virtue, to his country. He adheres to men who adliere to these and adheres to them no longer than they adhere to these. With like contempt of promises and menaces, unawed by power, he is attached to these. Not lurking, ass drone, to resp what others sow, he endeavors within bis sphere to promote the general welfare. No matter what voo call him what his rank, his profession, or the title of his religion, this is the Whig and many each, to their immortal bosor, has Providence raised up for

the defence of Liberty.

He •a called by tlw Vieaaa correspondent of the French Journal des Debate one of the most distinguished writer* of Germany, and had acquired great fame as a critic. This monk, who was of gemle and pliant character, was Moved as mack for the qualities of his heart as for those of Iris mind.

The aentiments of such a man, then, in reference to tho toleration of others than Puritans, are worthy of preservation and if in examining and re-examining them, we should perceive any Avant of harmony between Neal The English Non-Conformist, and Nenf the Anti-pap* ist, we need do nothing more in this "enlight* ened age," than to raise our glasses, rub our eyes, nnd calmly exclaim,

consistency,

thou art a jewel!" Ti4Po|»ery and slavery (saya Rfr. ffeal,) tiro inseparable, and an inquisition in tho Church is a sure mark of slavery in the state. The liberties of England grew up with the Reformation, and will certainly die with it whet* Popery got possession of the British throne in Ibe person of king James li.» our laws were presently suspended, our charters Utkeh from us, and our whole constitution subverted the knife was then at our throats, and the only choice thut seemed left, was to turn or burn. The populace were alarmed, and jProtestnnts shook their chains and groaned for a deliverer which God of his infinite mercy sent us in the porson of the great king William 111., who without violence or bloodshed delivered this nation from Popery, and all Europe from the chains and fetters that a great and successful tyrant had prepared for them."— "An open tolerati of tht Popish religion is inconsistent with the safety of a fret people and a Protestant government. Every Roman Catholic having professed allegiance to a for* eign power, must le on avowed enemy to his king and country." "Far be it from Protestant Dissenters to plead for persecution or sanguinary laws, or even negative discouragements for religious principles not subversive of the foundations of society artd civil government. Every faithful subject ought to be protected in his religious aa well as civil rights, but if men's religion teaches them rebel I ion ,f and every convert to popery is by principle an enemy to the constitution of his country, and a frieftd to the Pretender to hit Majesty's crown and dignity, surely the government may preserve itself. Beside*, 'tis a known maxim of Popery, and was decreed in the xixth session of the council of Con* stance, that no faithis to be kept, with her*• tics, or-Protestants nnd our histories abundantly testifjYibat where they have had pow^ er. rriey* na rw gtoust uuse ygtny,~«s pears by tho violation of the edict of Nantoe in France against the faith of the most solemn treaties the massacres of Pans and Ireland in which no ties of nature or friendship could prevent the staining their hands with the blood of their nearest Protestant relations not to insist upon their many plots and conspiracies against the Reformed religion int England, and particularly that wherein Kingr Lords andCoqifhons assembled in Parliament were to be blown up at once only I must observe, that all (ho conspirators were absolved, and Garnet their Provincial, who performed the office, is commended by Beliarmine [the Romanist,] as a man of incomparable sanctity and holiness of life. But they tell us, their natures are now changed, nnd their principles not so fierce and bloody at formerly. Are ihey so? Then mtvy the Ethiopian chango his skin, and the Lsper hi# spots. Havo we already forgot the late cruel* tics at Thorn, tho numbers of PaUuintt that were driven from their native country purely for religion about 20 years ago, and tl»» present usage of the Saltzburghers by their spiritual tyrant I would not fill your head* with imaginary dangers but this I am sure of, great industry is used by numbers of priests, even in defiance of a law that makes it death, to undermine the Protestant religion. Bribes are given, and large promises of support and encouragement to the meaner people catechisms nnd books of devotion are private* ly dispersed mass-houses are erected in seuu era! parts of the city and suburbs, and priest officiate almost with open doors they insforuate themselves into private families, and
