1 WORD TO ILL CANDID I EH,
Particularly thott h taU themttlim Dtmocratt.
VO. IV.
It is to us strange, not to say inexplica
ble, that so many men through this country
should so unequivocally favow themselves in
favor both of a United States Bank and a
protective tariff, and atjlhe same time cling
with a death-like grasp to the Democratic
party follow their leaders whithersoever
they go vote the Democratic ticket, and
do all they can to prevent the ascendancy
of those very doctrines in which they affect
so cordially to believe. Are they Bincere!
can they be in earnest both when they talk
and when they vote! Some of them we
know to be most estimable men, and why
is it that there is in this respect such a stri
king discrepancy between their professions
and practice! Some of the most promi
nent Democrats of this district are con
stantly pursuing this course. They do not
hesitate at any time to avow themselves in
favor of a National Bank and a protective
Tariff, and yet contend that they are no
Whigs, but Democrats, good and true or,
as the North Carolina Standard would have
it, of the "original panncl." Will you,
gentlemen, permit us to ask one or two
questions? if so, allow us to enquire, first,
Are you sincere when you profess to be the
friends of a national currency-and a judi
cious Tariff do you really mean what you
say 1 Do you believe such measures neces
sary to the prosperity of this country, and
at present called for by tho exigency of tho
times? Secondly, do you not know that
these questions are principally what divides
the Whig nnd Democratic parties tho
Whig? contending for a national currency
and juJicious Tariff, the Democrats oppos
ing, and struggling for the sub-Treasury
and free trade? Thirdly, If you are sin
cere, and really believe a national currency
and judicious Tariff for protection to be
necessary to our national prosperity, and to
be especially called for in the present em
barrassed state of tho country, how can
you reconcile it to your sense of duty, to
yourselves, your fellow-men,your country,
and your God, to act with, vote for, and
otherwise uphold, a party of men who are
the sworn enemies of these measures, and
who labor incessantly to prevent their as
cendancy? Are you lured by a charm,
bound by a spell,. or in soma other way
chained to the chariot wheels of Democracy
so that you think one way and act another?
We put these questions to your candor as
freemen, and ask you as freemen to con
sider and act. I
Others there are, however, who do not
go quite this far. They aro Democrats,
and as such profess to stand opposed to a
National Bank and a Tariff ; but what do
they profess ? What system of finance and
plan for a currency do they offer? The
old Van Buren sub-Treasury ? No, verily,
they aro very clear of it ! What then?.
Tyler's Exchequer plan ? Not they. Well,
then, what is it ? Why, just nothing at all.
The oppose overy thing) and propose no
thing. Excuse us if we seem severe but
we know not how that we can better ex.
press our trie meaning or describe their
true condition than by saying that they
pursue a perfect dog-in-the-manger course.
In order to ensure their opposition to any
measure, it is usually enough for them to
know that it originated with, or is sanction
ed by the Whigs. The whole country is,
and has been suffering under almost unpa.
ralleled pecuniary embarrassments. The
Whigs have tried ogaia and again, to have
adopted what they believed to be the bept
measures of relief that of a United States
Bank, and have universally been opposed
by the Democrats, and finally thwarted by
tho veto of a man who was elected to office
as a Whig.asd who reached tho Presiden
tial chair by chance. A most ruinous sys
tem is, and has been going on in reference
to the finances and currency of the cpuntry,
for the want of these measures for which
the Whigs have long contended, and in
which so many Democrats professedly be
lieve. Why then do not this portion of the
Democratic party require of their leaders,
to aid in carrying out these measures, or
drop them and vote on the Whig ticket for
such men as will do it! One or the other
they most unquestionably should do, and
not continue to act and vote with the Demo
crats, and profess Whig doctrines. This
is, to atl Intents and purposes, holding with
the) hare, and running with lha bounds., ,
Something for the better, moat bf done,
or our country must suffer to an extent and
in a manner painful to think of, and what
shall it be ? Why , three-fourths, if not four
fifths of the people of tho Untied States
who have been correctly Informed on the
subject, will, in our opinion, say " give os
a judicious T"fffof revenue, that will af
ford incidental protection, and a National
Bank." ,v; And how shall this be donel By
a union of all who desire this end, in se
lecting such men as will carry t these
doctrines. Let the people; without regard
to names or parties, make this a point, and
if 'chief point, in selecting their Representa
tives to Congress next summer secure a
majority of two-thirds, of those favorable to
their views, and then we will ask the Pre
sident's Veto no boot and this could be
easily dono,if there was as great a unity
in action, as there is in opinion, in refer
ence to these' subjects! We verily believe
that if this subject were properly brought
before the American people and their ac
tion upon it secured according to the dic
tates of their own common sense, there
would scarce be a Corporal's guard, of real
anti.Bank, anti-Tariff, hard.money men in
the next Congrcfss. ,
A communication was lately received in
the United States Senate from tho Treasury
Department, giving the exports and imports
of gold and silver coin and bullion since the
30th of June, 1834. It will not be neces
sary for us here to give the whole amount
each successivo year, as we merely refer to
it in order to call your attention to the fact
that from 1835 to 1838, while the tariff on
the most dutiable articles averaged 44 per
cent. , ou r imports of specie greatly exceed
ed our exports. In 1835, our imports were
considerably over thirteen million, and in
1838, they were nearly eighteen millions
while our exports were from four to six
millions. Now, mark the difference ! In
1841, when we had next to no tariff, our
imports of specie did not reach five millions
while our exports exceeded ten millions
We are aware that it will he contended that
tliis" was owing to other causes -than -that
io which we refer, but we are also aware
that this ruinous system-of exporting more
money, than we import or, of paying out
more than we take in, will prove destruc
tive of the interests to any country, and that
it will continue unless our own manufac
tures are protected, so far, at least, as that
sufficient inducement will be given to that
branch of business. The Washington Globe
and the North Carolina Standard, are both
indirectly complaining that there are but
about twelve millions of revenue to meet
the heavy demands upon the Treasury, for
the current year, and these same papers
were but a while ago, complaining of the
Whigs in Congress, for raising the Tariff
upon foreign importations, in order to meet
the demands upon the Treasury and now
they turn rightabout and abuso-the same
Whigs for having no greater revenue.
This is but a specimen of the general
course pursued by Democratic leaders.
The.great mass of that party are deceived
by their leaders they have not only led
them by a way which they knew not, but
by a way in which we believe they would
not have walked had they been fully aware
whither they were going, and it remains
only for them to know tho truth, in order to
ensure their turning about and hurling ven
gence upon those by whom they have been
misled.

Well that's all I get.
Behold how great a matter a little Jire
kindleth! The following is from the Provi
dence American, an Administration paper,
of 1839, ia which is proved that Gen. Jack,
on' election to the Presidency was in con
seaucnec' of a hog's breaking into mischief
in Cranston, Rhode Island, a number of
years ago. Tho proof" runs thus t Gen.
Jackson owes his election to the victory of
Near Orleans; that victory depended on
tbe existence of a war ; that war was de
clared in the National Senate by a majority
of one. ' Jeremiah B. Howell, a member
from Rhode Island, voted for the war. Had
his competitor, James Burritl, occupied his
seat, he would havo voted against the war.
Mr. Howell was elected by the casting vote
of the presiding officer of the Rhode Island
Legislature. Tho tie was occasioned by
the absence of a member belonging to the
political party of Burrill. He was prevail,
ed upon to absent himself through the in
fluence of an individual at .variance with
Burrill on account of a law suit respecting
tho depredation of a hog; in which suit
Mr. Burrill was the prosecuting attorney.
Had it not been for the hog there would
haw been no' quarrel. Had there been no
quarrel, Mr. Burrill would have been elect
ed ; the war wou'd noi have been declared,
and the hero of New Orleans would ntver
havo been -known! to.onequartcrofthe
people over whom he was chosen to prey1
side!! , ,
According to James Hamilton's letter to
John C. Calhoun, the victory of New Or
leans has cost the U. States five hundred
millions of dollars ! ! ! This is going the
whole hog !
A lady of Lancaster Pennsylvania, has
made a proposition to the ladies throughout
the Stnte, through the columns of the Lan
caster Examiner, that they turn their whole
stock of jewelry into coin, buy up the State
stock, and make a present of it to the State.
She estimates tho value of all the trinkets
in the possession of the ladies of Pennsyl
vania eighteen and a half millions of dollars
just enough, by buying tho stock at CO
per cent discount, to payoff the whole State
debt. "Our lords," she wisely observes,
11 will newer pay the dubt in tho world and
it will certainly be no very great hardship
for us to dispense with our jewelry for a
short time. And when we pay off this
great debt for them, our chivalrous beaux
wilj be bcth able and willing to buy us a new
supply." i

PROSPECTUS OF THE
HOWEVER the value of works devoted the
important science of Agriculture mav have
been appreciated In former times, the day has pass
ed when it becomes necessary to enter into aa
elaborate defence of the neceaaity and worth of
such publications, and all practical men are now
constrained to admit the beneficial Influence which
thev exercise upon the Agricultural Industry of
the country as well in the increased productions
of labor as in the general improvement of the
soils. Impressed with these convictions, and the
no less startling truths which are daily developing;
to the mind of every reflecting man, the neceasil
ty of diverting a portion to that labor now employ
ed In the production of our great staple, into other
and mora profitable employment the growth of
Bread-etuiis, Provisions, stock oral! kinds there.
by rendering the southern section of the Union,
loss dependent for all the articles of daily consump
tion, upon our Eastern and Western biethreo,

the work, will doubtless commend it to the favora
ble consideration of every intelligent Planter whd
feels the necessity of such a medium of comma,
nication, and to such, without further remark, we
make a direct appeal in its behalf, confident that
the extremely low price at which it is offered, will
place it within the reach of every farmer how.
ever limited his means.
