It is known that Washington continued to thejalst to man ifest a keen sensibility to LafaKette's sit- '1 uation; nor did he content himself with passive regrets. Our Minister at Euro peafi Courts were instructed to avail them selves of every proper opportunity for ex- days oflpoverty and toil, in Philadelphia, while writing his great book 1 " Common Sense"-! the tremendous effect which that work had on the public mind, preparing the way for the Declaration of Independence!- all were depicted with intense power.- .1 Then Paine, by the watch-fire, writing ' his "Crisis' surrounded perhaps by the corses of the dead, with the bloody foot- ! prints in the snow allitround him Paine the frie.ud of Washington, and Rush, and Franklin, and Jefferson was ably de- ' l'meated. This sublime spectacle of a man of genius, who might have been a reUOWneU poet, stateSivmn, or ornior, lor- , sakingiall these hoptk in order to follow the blojody. foot-prints of a starving army, has no'parallel in history. " ! The cannon of Washington," says an enemy, of Paine," were, not more formid able to the British than the pen of Tho's. Paine'." With our Revolution the bright, points of Pain'si character end. Then we behold Paine dissipated, his mind broken by ajchohbl, his intellect debased! by a pitifdljand peui'ile skepticism. Then we. behold a man. who, in "Common Sense." had hd a; nation on t-4"eedoin. endeav oring hvith his; ribald " Age of Reason," to darken our homes with that vilest of all superstitious, the superstition of infi delity. ! j Pai ne's life in Paris, the orgies of the French Revolution, the fall of Robespier-' I re, were depicted with inimitable skill. Here Mr. Lippard introduced a beautiful defence of the Bible indeed, one of the THE BARGAIN TO SACRIFICE THE TARIFF. The article in the. Washington Union. (n which we commented on Friday.) foreshadowing the intended sacrifice, by the Administration in Washington, of our domestic industry to induce England to give us Oregon, is drawing out remarks on all sides. The Washington correspon dent of the Courier and Enquirer, writes as follows. Bal. Pat. child, were in the same lied.

C The article in the Union of last evening headed 'a war for Oregon preferred to a reduction of the Tariff,' has attracted ve ry general attention. It purports to be in reply to an article in the Baltimore Pa triot, but its perusal leaves an irn sistable impressiori on the mind that this Govern ment have it in contemplation to sacrifice the protection of our industry, and accom modate our tariff to British interest for the purpose of securing the whole of Oregon, found that thejobjects I saw we Snowing M crw. iThc folio wi::. ment is contributed to the Congn ; al Journal of Concord, N.

If it is true, as intimated in the Union that unless Ave sacrifice the tariff we shall have to fight for Oregon, if England thus threat ens us, it is palpable that she purposes to pursue the same course towards us in re lation to our tariff, that she did towards the Chinese as to opium they refused to receive the dru'g.and she.llogged them in to acquiesence. The Union intimates that Great Britain -may pursue towards us the same course if we refuse to receive her manufactures, and that the Oregon question is to be the pretence.
