Mr. Nicholas Ja a I' free trade" Locofocb of Louisiana who. last year, I ?(! vst. in the ac ponding in Congress, tho Interests of the iuirar nlantcr would bo sacrificed! So ho writes to Mr. Calhoun, tho ' freo trado , champion par excellence, to save tho sugar interest! .Wo rcgrot wo have not room (or tho wholffof Mr. Nicholas letter; it is such a beautiful commentary on- Trco trade." We cannot forbear, hbwcwr, giving a cw extracts. They are exceedingly rich. Mr. Nicholas thinks tho abolitionists ore aiming to destroy tho profits of slave labor and fears they will endeavor to clijct lllcir object by reducing, or repealing altogether f tho duly on sugar. These fears arc strong, expressed at tho bcginn'itf of his letter. t.i.2 than, ho says to Mr. Calhoun': " Tho sugar interest may, and probably will be prosperous if not sacrificed by its own government in tho pending adjustment of tho TarilT. Sugar growers aro large consumers of most of the articles of iwjii 'ufacluro and products on which tlio duty . will fall, and if ihey do not obtain a corres. ponding duiy on their product when import ed, itis their settled conviction that this branch of Southern agriculturo must be abandoned." What ! Such doctrines as theso from n free-trade Demotrat f Why it is real ta. Dut hear him again 1 "I confess I never was an advocated, I hcvcjkcan bo, of a. protective Tariff, as such ; but havo never been ablo to &eo tho impropriety of SO AUJUSTio T11E TARIFF, as to viold such INCIDENTAL PROTECTION to ihe ereot interests of the country, could fairly and honestly bo given."

Jiavo'always been against the protective policy, l don t think Mat you have ever eon tended that fair incidental protection teas ei ther inexpecienl or adverse to any sound prin ciple: But even if ycu were, yqu could not, I think, fail to perceive that when such fa vors were being dispensed, (ho South would bo entitled to a fSfjr participation." "Favors!" Protection a favor! Why wehought it was ruinous to all concerned, .id particularly to those protected. At least, so says Judge Goldthwaitc. But we have no room for further extracts from the lottcr of Mr. Nicholas this morning. Wo giv the answerof Mr. Calhoun entire It is a curiosity In its way. "JMashington, 7th May, 1842.

Never in toy opinion, has the country been in more danger than at present. - I he admimstra. tionis powerless, and the Whigs infatuated; and if the object was to ruin, instead of sav. ing the country, it would bo scarcely pos sible to take a more effectual way than that which has been pureued.

It would seem to bo timo, however, that statesmen of liberal mind:?; and especially such as aspire to tho suffrages, and to administer the laws of the whole country, had discarded so illiberal and unpatriotic a sentiment. May not the whoio difficulty of tlie cao bo traced to that unjust and unfounded prejudice?

There would bo protection nnd non-protection; these would cover tho ground, and the question would be suffered to go to tho .people on its merits. . We wonld have no more special pleadings, to show that thor ough protection, as a rule, was abomina bio, yet as applied to sugar, (or iron, or lead, according to locality,) it was precise ly tho thing we wanted.

The affrays and collisions of tho loyalist and repeal factions are distinguished by the or dinary features of an Irish broil; nnd but for the prcsenco of tho soldiery, nnd tho fierce invectives jjf the agitators! w6 might quoto the condition of Ireland to-bo as lisiml -fl,'. Ji!uimjtapcfi5 iC timi lend an importance to tho incidents occur ring In Ireland which, intrinsically, those incidents' do not possess. In tho mean while, O'Conni ll remorselessly pursues his trade agitqtion. The harangues with which ho has sought to lntlamo tho passions of the populace havo latterly hcon imbued with tho fiercest spirit ot rancorous hate to England. Abstractedly they cannot bo denounced as trcasonablo or seditious ; the potency of thorn is snatched and robbed from the circumstances of tho tinws."

Of this the Repealers seem well aware. When the heat and bustle of tho aimlcrs disturbances which now dis tract Ireland shall have subsided rational men will denounce tho proceedings of the agitators as tho selfish attempts of heedless incendjarics to gull and delude to revolt an excitable people by the prospect o! a doubt ful accession ' of happiness and prosperity, in order to enrich themselves at the coafof a nation's welfare.
