Of their capability to support a population crpul in density to M us.ichusctts nodoubtcan be entertained. The number of persons to a square miles in l.issachnsetts is seventy. By recurring to the number of srpi ire miles of the Western htates, it "will be seen that with a population equal in density to M isvichusetts, they will contain 360,0U0 inhabitants. The effctive nrhtary force of .1 population of 10. ('00 000 m iv safely be estimated at 1,000.000. When therefore, 'the Western States shall contain a population equal in density to Massachusetts, their effective military force will be nearly 4.000,000, an army superior to that w hich can be brought into the field by the Autocrat of all the Russians. The above estimate is undoubtedly much too low. A moments reflection will satisfy any one, that the Western States are cap iblc of sustaining a much larger population, who tnki'S into consideration the salubrity of their climate, the extent and fertility of their soil, the richness of their mines, and the facilities they have for working them, and the great navigable rivers and tributary sti earns by which they arc watered, suited either for manufacturing establishments, or the purposes of commercial enterprise and activity. In the preceding remark no regard has been paid to the unorganized territory belonging to the United States in the valley of the Mississippi. When, therefore, those immense regions between the Alb ghany and the Rocky mountains, shall be tilled with a population equal in density to Massachusetts, their phv sical power will be greater than that of the nullities nation now in existence.

Civil Po-vcr. Hy civil power i? here meant,

that influence which anv division ot our country

possesses in the national councils. Proceeding then upon the calculations laid down in the tabk s published in another part of the present number

of the Journal, it will be s . en that the civil pow

er of this nation will soon be wielded by the peo

tile of the West. Divide the United StaUsinto

M four parts, Northern, Middle, Southern and

Western. The "present number of Representa

tives in Congress, from each of the divisions, is as follows: Northern 3l ; Middle 07? Southern

64; Western 10. Whole number of Represen

tatives from ths first three div islons 1T0. From

the lal 46. Under the present regulations the

app U'tionmcnt tor a Representative is 40,000.

According to the best caleulntion that can be made.it is ascertained that in 1S,S0 the population of the Northern; Middle, and Southern divisions of the U. States will be 1 1,4, 703 ; while that of the Western division will be 1 1,4 2 1,5 50. 'Should the rate of apportionment be the same then as at present, the hrst 3 divisions will have 267 Representatives, & the Western lYiH, leaving the balance of power in favor of the West. The apportionment in future will no doubt, be much larger than at present ; but upon the principle of equal representation, whatever the apportionment niav be. the vvciirht of intkience nosscssed

by the West will be the same. In a little more that twenty years, therefore, the Western States w ill have a majority in Congress ; and in tiftv years that majority will be overwhelming. Of course thev will be able

to control alt the measures of the general government which are ot great n itioiud importance. AVc.7 Pra;r. Now when we reflect that the Western States according to the lowest estimate, are capable of sustaining a population of more than 40,000,000, we feel that their moral power must be great, either for good or evil, in proportion asinU lligence or ignorance, virtue or vice, prevail aim ng their citizens. We have before shown that in IH30 they v. ;ll have a m ijority in Congress ; and it is well known that the character of a representative ever correspond with that of his constituents. If the people are industrious and virtuous, thentluir representatives will be men of a like snirtt. Rut ifi.rnorance, licentiousness of manners, and a disregard cf religious obligation prevail in the conuimmtv, tnen reckkss demagogues, and abandon

ed pivtiigatcs, will Mt in the sacred hall of legislation ;.rad ambition, and self aggrandizement, and love of power will take the place of patriotism, and public spirit, and an unshaken attachment to the best interests of the naiu n. Where Mich n state of society exist, the elective franchise, vhich is the peculiar id uy of Ameiicu, will become one of its deaui.est scourges. Nothing, therefore, can prevent a dissolution of the union, and save our free and happy institutions from utter subversion, but patriotism and intelligence directed, animated, and controlled by the p.ne. i. !

protection to our domestic industry.

As to the opinions of general Jackson, on

this point of national policy, they have been

long befoie the public, in his letter to Dr Coleman, of April, 182i, and in his votes in the senate on the tariff of that year. In addi

tion thereto, vc have the reply of gcnl Jack

son, dated 18th Febtuary last, to a resolution

of the senate of Indiana, requesting his opin

ion on this subject winch we published in the Gazette last week. liedford Ciaz.

General Jackson's reply is such an one as might have been expected horn the singular resolution of the legislature of Indiana, and the elaborate and (we might say) insidious letter of governor Ray. Did this governor think to entrap him by spteading his web so far around him? Else, why did he put so many particular and categorical questions to general Jackson? Did he expect to draw forth some answer to sonic one of them, which the partisans of the administration

might try to harp upon and turn to the best account ? And why did they not address similar queries to Mr. Adams I lie has never been half as explicit on the subject of the tariff as general Jackson. Not a word has escaped Mr. A. in his own message to con gress and it has been left to Mr. Rush, to step out of his linc and " recommend measures" which would better have become the president himself to suggest. Vre seize this opportunity to notice two asertions on ibis subject, in which we have been brought in. The ?lassachusctts Jour. aifinns that u Gen. Jackson writes firivatc U tters, (not intended to be made fiuttlic,) to Richmond, in which he pledges himself to the anti-tai iff, and a nil manufactming and anti American doctrine, that protecting duties are unconstitutional !" and quotes us as authority for the unfounded assertion, lie has written no such lei. ci s. And again, the IVdtimorc ,c Mat a lander" lcptals that the 41 Editors of the Ivichmoud Enquirer

have seen a letter from the general, only a lew months since, in which he speaks of Mr. Adams' views of the powcis of the general government, as contained in his first message, having shocked him; these views were, no doubt, in relation to the American system Now this is 44 ineffably stupid i" for, geul. J. could scarcely think of criticising in Mr. Adams what Mr A. has never thought fit to oxpress. 44 Those views," to which the Marylander is pleased to refer, wcie not " contained in Ins li;st message," or in his second, or in his third. He will give them j." obably c.tenso in his "Jrxt vjr.wgc" ol the 2d trrw if the people should be so far infatuated as to replace him on the: saddle. Rich. lira;.

And it being known that he would arrive on Monday afternoon last, the steam boat Ratuxcnt, crowded with citizens, proceeded down the river to meet the boat United States. When the boats approached each o'her, and it was ascei tained that Mr Clay was a passenger, nine cheers from the Ratuxcnt gave to that gentle

The Ratuxcnt now changed her course, and taking the lead ot the United States, afforded the committee and citizens, r.n opportunity of bting on the wharves and receiving Mr. Clay at his landing.
