In the senate of the United States April 2, 1828, Mr. Smith, of Mary land, (a Jacksonite,) from the com mittee of finance, reported the following bill, which was read and passed to a second reading. J1 BILL to admit iron and machinery

Jvr rail roads, dutyfree. tie it enacted by the senate and house of representatives ot the nitpd States of America, in congress assembled, That the president and directors of any iail road, incorporated by any

state or states, be, and

they are hereby authorised, to nnI'ort for the use of such rail road, iron and machinery/re* of duty,

Sec. 2. A lid be it lurther enacted, That, prior to the importation of §u*ch iron and machinery, the president ol any such tail road thall file

with the collector of the port, into which its importation may be intended, a copy ol the order for the same, signed bv such president, which order shall be sent to the secretary of the treasury, who shall cause :i copy of the same to be preserved, and return jttothe collector, it approved, with hit signature, granting Its importation under the 1st section, of this act.

Sec.-S. And be it further enacted, That, on making entry at the cus-tom house, of any such iron or machinery, the president ot such incorporated company r.hall take the following oath or affirmation 1, A. IJ. president of thu rail road company, sincerely and truly swear, (or affirm,") that the entry now subscribed ith my name, and delivered by me to the collector of [insert the name ot the district,j contains a just and true account of all the iron and machinery imported for the sole use of the said rail road, and that ihe same will not be used io^r any other purpose whatever.

FARMERS LOOK. AT THIS.

"*-.q

If British and Swedish iron is to be imported free ot duty for all the. incorporated rail road companies other incorporated companies wil soon claim and obtain the samepriviledge iron must fall in price, and we must either stop our works, or give yoa but half as much for your rye, corn, beef, pork, &c. as we now do, so much for the southern Jackson policy. We are to import iron from England, but England wil! not take one barrel of flour from you.

The system has been begun in the above bill, it i3 the slave holding state system, and will certainly be allowed up. The expression made in dpbate this winter by the notoriBUS George Kremer, that alier the lational debt has been paid, they (meaning the Jacksonites,) would repeal all the duties on goods, wares and merchandise, did not originate with him, in his cups he let it out, but it is the southern Jackson and Cal noun policy. In 1825 Calhoun feated the tariff bill by his casting vote, thereby preventing the wool Jen manufactories from going into operation, and blasting the prospects of our wool grower's. On the 9th inst. this same Calhoun by his cast ing vote in the senate of the United States, defeated the internal improvement bill, voting against our two senators, JFilliam Marks and Isaac L). Barnard. ^"Yet Pennsylvania is called upon by the slave holding states to vote for this same

C. Calhoun in opposition to Richard Hush, the friend of manufac tures and internal improvement. Farmers and manufacturers, (particularly of Iron.) praying will no longer do, we must put our shoulders to the wheel, or our interests will be swamped in the southern quicksands.

If Jackson and Calhoun are elected, the southern policy will and must prevail, our manufactories of iron, Hour, woollens, cottons, &c &c. .vill no longer be protected they will languish, and languishing they will die. If Adams and Rush are elected, our manufactories will be protected and flourish a home market will be created forourflour,corn, whiskey, wool, beef, pork, &c. &c. We shall no longer be dependent on a foreign market. Our money, that is now sent abroad to purchase British iron, British cloths and British goods of all kinds, will he kept in our own country, and plenty will once moreble9S our land. r^,

The early part of the political career of this print has been marked by the most vulgar invective against the administration, and Mr. Clay, one of its most prominent members and, on the other hand, with every kind of eulogistic rliapsodv in support of ifs idol JaGkson. In "the first instance, a share was only contemplated by the combination, who bought the establishment for the present editor but when he surveyed the wide field about to be opened, through the credulity of the people, by reiterating

bargain and

corruption" against the administration, he was determined to have the whole, that is, of the floating cash, from eleemosynary contributors or subscriptions that he may make money out of the party. However, he has now not only made money, but, by a multitude of misrepresentations and calumnies, he has became famed for his reckless disregard to truth, his vivacious itnpertinency, and the broad and vulgar style ot his compositions From the first, this individual has been pronounced an adventurer in politics, who had abaned his place of location in St. Louis, merely to set up a house to drive a trade in this city profitable to himself

to his em-

r,lovers. All this has been done upon credit as regards his ovvn poc^ et, for he declared he had .net a cent of money when he lir|t se oo in these ten miles square.-^Rince the establishment has dipped deep into the 50,000 dollar fund, we have no doubt. The circumstance of a newspaper reared by such an individual. without funds to the amount of a dollar, totally ignorant of the printing business, is quite sufficient to stamp suspicion on every transaction. Hut the Telegraph says all this is done to put down bargain, &c. that the effort is purely patriotic. Mark the sequel: the newspaper (for the .editor, we repeat, is not a printer,) gets elected printer to the Senate by those very persons who purchased and are interested in the success of the print that is to put down th# administration, light or wrong and further, those very high minded Senators continue to feed it with their own votes on fat jobs, u'hich, under other circumstaTice' would not be thought of or ordered to be -executed in other words, the people's money is voted away undei the pretext of printing public documents that find their way to the grocery stalls before the paper dries

It is thus that a few cunning men continue to appropriate the national funds to the furtherance of private interests, and to do that which an honorable rivalry in politics could not stoop to. rf."

But then again the "indivital who directs the Telegraph has come 1000 miles, all the way from Missouri, to to lecture us at Washington on politics What a kind patriot, to labor to dispel our political darkness, and at the same time, fill his empty pockets with cash By the bye an attempt was also made to enlighten the good city of Baltimore, at one and the same time, by a simultaneous publication ot this sheet of lies but we beliere the people of that city scouted the idea, &-the attempt failed. They were not to be bamboozled in that way.

It shall not be our fault if the preat political parties of the United States are not fully informed of the nature of the cabal and intrigue that influence the knot who govern the opposition print. The party feuds which feed upon this fungus will be soon apparent, and the slang whanging of its unprincipled writers lose its influence on the public mind. The sound democrats of the country will not long permit this state of things a vigorous effort, at tfie ensuing elections, will forever prostrate the hopes of the cabal. -From that time political thoughts will assume a wider rang® the bubble of Jacksor.ism, which has long cheated the people, will explode, and the naked deformity of the vile Tele graph, its scandalous writers, and its sleeping partners, be bared to public view.- I* •ok-

POINT NO POINT.

Gen. Jackson has replied to the resolutions of the Senate of the state of Indiana, communicated by Gov, Ray, designed to ascertain his sentiments on the subject of protecting American Manufacture. His answer amounts to this—that his present opinion is the same as it was in 1824 and reminds one of the answer of the truant boys John where have you been I have been with Jo"— Well Jo, where have you been 1 have been with John," and whore have you both been

We have been together.'" In 1824 gen, Jackson was in lavor*of a Judicious examination and revision of the tariff." Every body now understands what a judicious tariff means, and no real friend of the American System will trust to an avowal of friendship so equivocal

What affectation Gen. Jackson to talk of being a republican How long is it since he learned such electioneering slang. It seems too he imbibed his views of constitutional power and American policy" in the times and from the sages of the revolution. The General's anxiety to loeate himself with the revolutionary patriots has certainly betrayed him into a most glaring absurdity. llow could Ire imbibe any notion of the powers of the constitution before there was a constitution for'

in the times of the revolution'' the federal government and the in strument of which he speaks did noi exist. Besides, if he is of the ag pretended, and wai born at the dat given by his biographer, in S. Car olina, and not in Ireland, then in deed he must have been a very for war4 youth at 9 years old, and kept very good company, to have imbib ed views of constitutional power' (from a constitution that-«lid not ex ist.) and of *'American policy,' (when America had no policy,) ii (he times and from the Bages of the revolution.JV iiti.

the conduct of Don Miguel. The dates from Paris are of 2^d March, at which time no information had been received that the Iiiissians had crossed the Pruth.

The affairs of Portugal are at present objects of considerable import ance There is not any positive intelligence of the Regent having entirely thrown off the mask} but the indications are strong, the wish and. the animus are sufficiently apparent The rabble call out for an absolute king, and the troops are not engaged to repress them Peers and other persons attached to the constitution are insulted and assaulted, and no notice is taken. The Regent, iu the recesses of his palace, sees all this with indifference, if not with approbation, and .gives himself up to the counsels of the priests and of his mother. Some tierce debates have taken place in the Portuguese Chambers relative to the late tumults. 1 he Conde de 'faipa declared that the throne was surrounded by a faction but the Conde de Villa Real denied the assertion, which he characterised as indiscreet.

That animal wore the robe of a Roman senator, and he, like it, should ap pear in the Chamber merely in the dress of a Portuguese peer. The Conde de Taipa, fearful of the consequences of this bold speech, escaped from Portugal, and has arrived in this country. With respect to the £50,000 sent back by Sir Frederick Lamb, it was a loan negociated under the security of England, which security our' Ambassador did not think himself justified in affording under present circumstances.
