We net with the following conimuncation in the Indiana Democrat, and consider it 'veil worthy cf a re-publication.

Every word he puis down tpeaks for itself, and cannot fail to he pron rlv appi eciated and understood by the tYi- -is of the administration. Ind. Pallad. TO THE KLPCBLICAN8 OF IND Vk How republicans of Indiana! I wish to speak seriously to you on a subject of vital importance one in which every true friend to Ins c unti y is vitally interested. For on it depends the purity of the institutions of our cr intrv. Since 1824. the Adams and Clay party, or, as they are called the "Federal party" inotVi siates, have exercised a continued course of deception relative to the true poliv involved in the contest between general Jac vn and Mr. Adam. And they have almost universally endeavored to prostrate those Jackson men who have oeen candidate s i"o'- office those men who support the rneasuiesof the present administration Velio vv citizens.letme ask you to look around you, anfi Dcnoiei tne triCK. or inis party; m the first pi ice, thev endeavor to make it unpopular for any man to "come out on the question" as thev call it. What next do you s ? Whenever a Jackson man ii a candidate for any office, they immediately raise the rv t.'nv lie has "come u. i, the question!' anl h-.w often they havt d f ated the fiction of kn-.wn andtri d Republicans, by this very tuck, is but too well known in Indiana! 'To convince every Jackson man in Indi ana. that the Clay men alwavs vote on tne vuestio ) uiat they always vote for Clay nte.i, Ihtvconly to mention a tew facts known to us all i'jcw me one Clay county , iti (his State that ha-t ever elected a Jackson tnan la (he Lckifslalureli Let the Jackson men look u und an i see the number i tClay men that vote for Jackson men!

How do thev manage then to attain a majority ii both Houses of our Legislature, and nearly all other inipo.tant offices in the fctater I will tell you. Thev sa to the Jacks on men, "down with the question," 'we vote for merit, not men" "we do not care what a nan's political sentiments are so he has merit" iUepublieans mark this ; the ryes of Clay mm a Jackson man never fia '.7;-i':'"'j y universally find the" merit" on th i ''a i side! ell! the vlay men cote in a i;i .! tiody for a Clay man they slan dec the U pu'dican candidate, and tell the PH'Oivle t.i tt he has "come out on the question; and n these means tney uiviele tne Jackson rinks and gciieralh elect a Clay man!

thev may be disposed to lay these trick aside but never till thcnficrhafi never! My friends, it is not necessary to equivocate this is the same party that reigned in days of the elder Adams the same party that "fell with the first Adams.and rose with the second '" Have i.ot Republicans ample re us on to watch them? This is the same party in principle that have always been in favor of consolidation of divesting the States of almost every power, making them "mere petty corporations," and placing all m the hrtiids of a few men at Washington City! Does this 'doctrine suit those who believe th tt the people are capable of self government? tvepublicans believe that all power is safe in the hands of the people the Federalists, are for taking nearly all power from them. I he great Republican party throughout the Union should weigh all these things wtli! Can any man deny that Anduew Jackson has been the cause of bringing back our institutions to their original purity? Can any man deny that the measures of the present administration are dictated by true policy, and tend more than any others to the prosperity of our country? Can anyone deny that any man in the United States has shown greater patriotism and devotion to the best interest of hiscouutry than Andrew Jackkon? Such arc the measures then, and such a man that we have to support. Will the American people forsake him never. I ask this seriously. Do Jackson men support the present Administration, ivhen they elect men vjio support different measures? No they do not. Fellow citizens, I am an old resident in this State, and do not w rite from hear-sav I know what I have stated to be true. FRANKLIN. The Richmond Enquirer contains a long and able article on the subject of the change iii the Cabinet. We have only room for the following extract, in reference to Mr. Van Buren: "When so many other men are seeking office; when it has absolutely become a sort of disease upon this highly-gifted land, let it be recorded that M .itin Van Buren has resigned the highest office within the patronage of tne President of the U. S. He retires from an office w hich he graced. He retires from an office, which has been held up as "a safe precedent," and as a steppingstone to ttie highest station i' the world. lie gives up ail tae patronage and all the authority which his elevated situation has put within his reach. He resigns all me inlluenc.e which he was supposed to wield all the fruits of that larg" confide, re, wbicu the f resident ot the United Mates was reposing in him. He gives up power the means which he has oetn suspected by his censorious enemies or jealous friends, of using for his advancement lie letnes from it ail to the walks of private life. He te1 1 res from one of the most biilliant careers of diplomacv, which a secretary of State lias ever run with ne exception only, vvhich has divided the opinions of his countrymen and upon which we think him w rou sr. as regards the great lines of the Constitution but ev en that, one of the most splendid stroke of diplomacy, in its foreign aspects, which could Have been struck. He retires after having secured compensation from Denmark opened the W est India trade unsealed ttie ports of Turkey to our enterprising marines paved the way for at. honorable and unexpected indemnification from 1- ranee and left all our relations re spected and harmonious abroad. Let Tris tram Burgess abuse M mm an Buren if he pleases let liberal opponents sneer at hiui - but now that he has retired from power. it is believed that the voice of an impartial country may do mm justice. The Kentucky Sentinel takes a correct view of the effect which mu.t be produced throughout the country by the late change in the Cabinet. It remarks: "The resignations in the Cabinet will prove a death blow to the Clay party. They did not anticipate such a resuP, and such a complete triumph over their deep laid schemes They did not think that the republican pat ty could possibly be composed of men who could saciitkc individual cares and prospects for the vv elf are of their country. It did not comport with the characters they themselves had given the public cf Jackson men. And we are not at all surprised to hear them ask, "what does all this mean?" l'hey hav e been completely astonished, and now endeavor to persu ule us that it wa all "a blow up." Could Gen. Jackson ascend to the courts of Ileavtn, and recall the departed spirit of Vashington, a Henry, or a Jeff rson. to assist him in the wise and prudent administration of the go vernment, still would the spirit of a.ubhioust demagogues haunt the precious precincts, and endeavor to pollute the atmosphere with their fulsome breath. But the real friends of republicanism will not be vv anting in enevgv, and will hail the "bl::i' up as a sure guarantee of their best w,siu, the re elec - tionot Andrew Jackson; and thev are willing iuetamakeanv and every sacrifice which the cause demands, for the attainment cf that important ami desirable bject." rrm the An: ncan Starrs max.

I elent, whose word not even hi, enemies have II t dared to question, was of no avail. All the Calhoun Presses united with those in favor ot Clay in holding up Mr. Van Buren as the ptominent candidate of the Jackson party. In Congress too, the distinguished Secretary was presented in the foreground of every measuie, and while it was confined to Mr Tristram Shandy Ilurgcss, it was as harmkss as his "gnawing his bone" (to use a beautiful phrase of his own) at the New v ork dinner but when such men as Tazk well anJ TYLhu, who have professed the ,r,.t ,i . i , 1,4 stiongest devotion to the V. esident, could ,..mw...i n ;fu II U3 A A A I it - i f,.i... iri Jlf !

In the midst ot the most gigantic military preparations, the Potentates of the continent and their ministers are pour (ing into our ears the soothing accents of peace and general Benevolence, ucn a parailox is inadmissible, nor will the maxim of "in peace prepare for war," extricate us from its intricacies. With the settled purpose cf striking a blow when it can be advantageously dealt, is probably the design of most of them. Each is therefore unwilling to be the aggressor, yet all seem courting and ready to return with interest the first hostile act. The array is undoubtedly between liberalism and the old order of things. France leads the former, while the latter is ustained by the northern powers. The diplomacy r.f the advocates of t t these great and rival principles resemble the tactics of two hostile visncK skillfally cor.teaiius for thw weathw-pugc, r seek-

mg the opportunity of pouring in tin hrst broadside. Austria would appear to ha committed a fault in marching her legions into Bologna, thus passing the bounds t her legitimate jurisdiction, and contravening thc declared system of neutrality cf France. Austria must retrace her steps, or France must sacrifice her policy. On this single point, it would seem, hang? the question a peace or war on the side cf Italy. "Belgium has erected herself into a sort of national independence, by electing a regent, who discharges for the present the necessary functions of sovereignty. The question of peace or war there hinges on the fate of the Dutcl.y cf Luxembourg, against w hich it is said an army ot 50,000 German troops is marching, to enforce the decrees of the Diet Belgium declares this to be an act of aggression, ar.d a violation of the principles of non-intervention alleady laid down by France; but it ihould tie recollected that the London protocol of the 0th of January, to which France was a party, declared that the Dutchy cf Luxembourg must remain in it-, farmer state, and could not compose an integral part olr Belgium. However, when the question was asked ot Casimer Perrier, by a member of the chambers, it he was aware of the march of this army, his answer was "We are prepared to maintain our pretensions both cnthe north and in the south." "There is no symptom that indicates intervention in favor of the Poles. These he

roic people then, seem to be abandoned to heir own indomitable spirit and unquench able valor. Unless, indeed, which we fer vently hope is the fact, that England is in terposing her good offices, and who, by softening the wrath of the czar, may save the remnant ot this devoted people from uttti? annihilation. We cherish the hope that the twenty-five days of inactivity of count Diebitsch before Praga, is to be traced in some degree to this cause." From thc (Concord) X. II. Patriot. SMl?GGLIG "Custom House Frauds. The fol lowing lesoluiions were passed at a meeting of the manufacturers, held at Middletown, Ct. on the 12th inst.

Thus it appears, that the ptesent high tariff offers so great an inducement to smuggling, and to such an extent has this nefarious practice been carried, as to render the tariff entirely inop lative as a piotcction to our manufactures. The inducement to smuggle now is as great as it was during thc war; and tho old war smugglers, who are now exclusively ''American System men." havo reso ted to their old piactices with renewed vigor. It is believed that thousands and thousands of dollars worth of British manufactured goods are daily transpoited through the country, defrauding the revenue of the duty, and injuiing the American manufactuier, by underselling him in our own marketsIt would not surprise us, should the proposed "National Convention" be held, to see thc manulacturers themseltts petitioning congress to reduce the duties upon woollens, so as to render the business of the smuggler less tempting and profitable. It seems that the risk. oP smuggling is estimated at only 'wt'vtop fifteen per cent, whilst thc duty amounts to from 75 to 150 per cent, on woollen goods Whilst such a temptation is held out, with a risk so small, and the extent to which the business will soon bo cart ied is incalculable, unless something is done to prevent it. It is asy to seo with What facility the business ot smuggling may be carried on, when there is sufficient inducement to tempt it, Irorn the disclosures made by the secretaiy of thc treasury, relative to the trade in nutmegs. The duty upon this article is sixty cents per pound; and it appears by the. secretary a report that more vurmegt arc entered, and teaved the drawbar k for exportation than verc entered Jor duiyk as imported in a given nme; bv i:ich it is proved, that more than enotgii nutmegs are smuggled into thecoui.:iy, to supply the whole consumption ol tho country, and that the government is an' actual loser, on the score of duties and drawback. So it will be with woollen cloths, unless a different system is adopted.
