Singled out for proscription and destruction, he bas sustained all the fury of the most ferocious attacks. Calumnious charges, directed against the honor of his public character, dearer than life itself, sanctioned and republished by one who should have scorned to lend himself to such a vile purpose, have been echoed by a thousand profligate or deluded tongues and presses. Supported by the consciousness of having faithfully discharged his duty, and defended by ihe virtue and intelligence of an enlightened people, he has stood firm and erect amidst all the bellowmgs of the political storm. What is a public man, what is any man worth, who is rot prepared to sacrifice himself, if necessary, lor the good of his country?

From Niles' Register.

The Tariff Bill having unexpectedly passed the Senate, 26 to 121, a brief notice of the amendments made by that body, may suffice for the present. The further progress of the bill shall be carefully detailed, and the whole be published, as amended and adopted. We sincerely congratulate our readers and ourselves, that we are about to be relieved from a subject, which, though exceedingly important, has occupied much space and attention that wc would gladly have devoted toother matters. However, it seemed in dispensable that a full record of the nroceedin^s should be kept. 1 he amendments ot the Senate are as follows 1 The first of September, instead of the SOth June, is fixed uponi a* the commencement of the operation of this act in resjecl to iron, and probably was so designed lor the whole of the hill but the duty upon all other articles is to be levied alter the SOth of June It is important that this distinction should be observed. The house had no power oyer the bill itself, and cxclusi vely acted

per pound. 4. Woollens, at the 50 cents minimum per square yard at the one dollar minimum—at the two dollar and a half minimum—and at the four dollar minimum, are to pay a duty of 40 pei* cent ad valorem until the SOth June, 1829, and 43 per centum thereafter and cloths which cost

than'lour dollar* per square yard, 43 per centum until the 30th June, 1829, and 5U per centum ad valorem thereafter. 5. Printed or painted floorcloths, to pay 50 cents per square yard. *1(5. "Ready-made clothing to pay 50 cent, ad vul ... 7. The duty on sail duck to advance a cent" yearly, from 0 cent*, it shall raise to W cents per square

***%. Manufactures of silk, from beyond the Cape of Good llope, 50 fer cent, and 5 per cent, additional after 30th June, 1829 other manufactures of silk, 20 per cent, ad va-

'0,9. Indigo—an additional duty of 5 cents per pound, from SOth June, 1829 until same date i£30—with an additional 10 cents per pound, per annum, until the whole duty hall a mount

50 cents per pound.

These are all the amendments cl the senate, unless, verbal, in two or three cases. Independent ot the advance of 5 per centum on woollens, cloths at the dollar minimum, instead of paying 40 cents yard, will pav 494 cents—and those at the 2ft dollar minimum wn P'O 1234 cents, instead of one dollar 10 per cent, bein^ added in coi»p4*

lag tuft rator&m duties. The lik? rule applies to all the minima and these amendments will very materially help the woollen manufacture, after 1829. ,k T. il'J/

BCP All the amendments having been agreed to by the house, on Thursday last, the Tu riff Hilt has passed both houses, and only requires the1- signature of the President to become a law. ,,

Revolutionary Officers.—By referwig to the congressional news, it will be 9een that the bill for the relief ol certain officers of the revolutionary army, passed the House of Representatives on Tuesday last, by a vote of 115 to 58.—The result is a pretty unequivocal evidence of the sentiment that animated the representatives of the people, and though they have beer\ tardy and lukewarm in this business, subjecting the nation to the charge of indifference & neglect, we sincerely rejoice that it has been disposed of, earnestly hoping that the relief, though partial, and granted at a period ivhen only a remnant ot the heroes remain, may tend to smooth their passage to the grave, and alleviate the pangs of a pilgrimage commenced in blood and strife, and prosecuted in poverty and toil. Prosperous nations, like individuals, are too prone to forget bene factors for then not requiring aid, they cannot rightly estimate the source from which it was derived.

In order to prevent misapprehen sion, it may be necessary tu state that the operation of the bill is confined to those officers who were entitled to half pay under the resolutions of congress of 1780, and those privates who were cut)tied to a bounty of eighty dollars. The officers are to receive full pay for life, ac cording to their line of rank, but in no case to extend the full pay of a captain. This pay is to take place from March 1826. The privates are also provided for on the same principle. One of the most salutary provisions of the bill, is that which prevents this pay from being alienated from those who are entitled to it, by any legal proccss.

The gentleman to whom Mr. John Adams, the secretary of the President, made the remaik which induced Mr. Russell Jarvis to assault him, was in this city on Thursday last. We learned from gentlemen who conversed with him, that it was neither addressed to, nor made within the hearing of any ladies whatever. There was a gentleman, however, standing near, who is supposed to have been the bearer ot the intelligence to Mr. Jarvis.

VVe mentioned in a former number, that Mr. Adams had come to the determination of paying oil' FIVE MILLIONS of the puoli,c debt on the first of July. When this amount shall have been discharged, it will make thirty-eight millions that he has liquidated during his administration.—.Marijlander

'STEAMBOAT DISASTER.

The Car of Commerce, commanded by Capt. J. Cock, and owned by Messrs Walter Cock and Hardin, of this place, burst her boiler, about 10 o'clock on Wednesday last, the {4th inst. in the Canadian reach Mississippi about 130 miles below the mouth of Ohio.—She had taken in wood about three miles below and while running under a high pressure of steam the farce pump was discovered to be out of order. The engine was stopped a minute gor two, while the pump was righted, without blowing olf the steam and when the enwas started again, about the head of the and drove

The whole number known to be lost, by the latest accounts from the boat, was between 15 and |£0—and many others were so severely inji^red that there was no hope of their recovery The whole loss of lives it is supposed will be upwards of twenty. Most of this destruction was caused by scalding. The isuflerers who wert not instantly killed were in a most deplorable condition. lhe captain escaped unhurt. One of the pilots was slightly injured. Both the engineers were dead, and pearly al the rest of the persons belonging to the boat. Only one ot the cabin passengers was injured and he is dead.

The damage to the boat was much less than might have been expected from the ter.ible destruction among the people on board. We have ie-4. ceived this information from several intelligent gentlemen, who were passengers, and others who have since passed ttyp butt, he iget s#ar-

THE GRAVE OF JEFFERSON "I ascended the winding road which leads from Charlotlsville to Monticello. The path leads to a circuitous ascent of about two mile? up the miniature mountain, to the fann and the grave of Jefferson. On entering the gate which opens into the enclosure, numerous paths diverge in various directions, winding through beautiful groves to the summit of the hill From the pc.aic on which the house stands, a grand and nearly unlimited view opens to the thickly wooded hills and fertile Rallies, which stretch out on either side. The University, with its dome, porticos, and colonnade, looks like a fair city in the plain Charlottsvillp seems to be directly beneath. No spot can be imagined as combining greater advantages of grandeur, health-fulness and scclusiou. The house is noble in its appearance two large columns support a portico, which extends from the wings, and into it the front door opens. The apartments are neatly furnished, and embellished with statues, busts, portraits and natural curiosities* The grounds and out-hou-ses have been neglected—Mr. Jefferson's attention being absorbed from such personal concerns by the cares attendant on the superintep.dance of the University, which, when in health, he visited daily since its erection commenced.

At a short distance behiud the mansion, in a quiet shaded spot, the visitor sees a square enclosure, surrounded by a low, unmortared stone wall, which he entered by a neat wooden gate* This is the family burying ground, containing ten or

rifteen

graves, none of them marked

by epitaphs, snd only a few distinguished by any memorial. On one side of this simple cemetry, is the resting place of the patriot and philo sopher. When I saw it, the vault was just arched, and in readiness for the plain stone which is to cover it. May it ever continue like Washington's. without any adventitious con spicuousness for when we, or our posterity, need any other memento of our debt of honour to those names, than their simple inscription on paper, wood, or stone, gorgeous tombs would be a mock to their memories. When gratitude shall cease to consecrate their remembrance in the hearts ofourcitizens.no cenotaph will, inspire the reverence we owe to them

Mr. F. Rommage has an establishment at Elix^bethtown, N. J. for dressing flax without rotting, which affords a ready cash market at that place, to the fanners. The experience of the past year has been highly encouraging. Contracts have been entered into with more than 150 persons, for the product of 800 acres ,jf flax land and in all his transactions Mr. R. has fulfilled his engagements with the most scrupulous exactness. JOuring the ensuing year he proposes to extend his business and contract for the produce of 800 acres of land.—This may be worthy the attention uf farmers generally.
