We arc anxious to see to what conclusions such a mind as Mr. Jefferson's could arrive, upon so wild and unjust a measure as the Tariff of 1828 so contrary to the true principles of Free Trade, and the genuine spirit of a limited Constitution. This extravagant system of restriction seems pecul iarly opposed to a form of govern ment like our own. Our confed eracy is a large one. The inter ests of different parts are distinct from each other. One portion is better calculated formanufactures; another agriculture, &c. Is it presumable, that the fathers of the Constitution ever designed a Gen eral Government like this to in terfere with the local interests of such different descriptions or to authorize one part of the Union to wield the whole powers of the Confederacy to promote its own interests at the expense of anoth er!

The West. Died, in Hanover county, in this state, on 24th Feb. Mr. Francis Lewis, aged 67. The Cape-Fear Recorder says Mr. Lewis had migrated to the west under the influence of that delusion, which has led so many to new countries; and had return ed but a few months at the time of his death. He seemed to be peculiarly calculated, by his ac tivity and management and capa bility of adapting himself to unto ward circumstances, for the diffi culties and privations which at tend the life of an emigrant, but these qualities did not enable him to persevere in' the plan of establishing himself in the west. The Louisville Advertiser men tions that a fountain of Petroleum or Rock Oil, has been discovered in Cumberland county. Some persons were engaged in boring through a rock for salt water. On getting to the depth of 130 feet the auger was withdrawn and the oil rushed upwards, rising to tiie height of 12 or 14 feet above the surface of the ground. It dis charged at the rate of 75 gallons per minute, and formed a stream which ran into Cumberland Ri ver, and overspread a considera ble portion of its surface for many miles below. The oil ignites freely and burns brilliantly. The Louisville paper speculates on the magnificent appearance it would make on the river if set on fire. An abundant supply of salt water has been obtained in the neighborhood by boring to i!ie depth of 200 feet. The supply thus obtained rises about 25 feel above the ordinary level of Cum berland River. ib. FOREIGN. From England.

Beware of the Swindler. fiOMMENCED boarding with me, some time about the 29th of Decem ber last, a young man of genteel appear ance, well dressed; about 5 feet 6 inches high, small size, dark hair, thick or dou ble upper lip, but little beard, pimple face, and about 21 or 22 years old, by profession a Tailor, and says he is from New-York. He remained here until he became indebted to me for board to the amount of $47, also to other persons to a large amount. He absconded on Satur day night, the 11th inst. unbeknowing to any person, leaving the following note in his trunk: "The martins have come, it is time for me to be off. G. H. CONKLING. P. S. Lord what creatures we Yankees are" From what I can learn it is probable he has made his way to Norfolk, Va. for the purpose of joining a Gambler, which profession he may follow. 1 hope the villian may be known, and that the finger of contempt and derision may be pointed at him wherever he may be seen.
