Tyler ami T?iv s would st em on their f;ipe to be irre sistible; but the Whig will g on, and consummate, if possible, their absurd and niischievous scheme of Distribution First, it i. a mere party question and they have not the moral courage of J ilin T ler to retrace titer steps nnd secondly, they consider the Distribution as identifi-d w iih the increase of the Protective Tariff. Can any thing be more coi.clu-ive upon this -surj-ct, than t he reception which. .Mr. Ty ler's last Message has mi t with from the Tariff Pres? The .Richmond big abu ses if He is an anii-Soiahcrti Tariff man. Tlie New York Tribune finds lauli with ftlr. Tyler. "Put up the Tariff (ext latins that paper) so as lo afford adequate protec tion to our Home Industry, and there will he 'no need of recaUwg the Land Distribution." The lialiimore American sings the same r.ote. and poii.ts out its pobcy in these words: "Lot the imposts he lo.'ked to as the rotr.ee ot revenue, and lei the Tariff be adopted acc -rdingU ." flwlm 'Jiff'irii. is the tone of lite Republican or even 'the impaitial press! The New York bun S;iys, "itie man ion of Cot gre-s has destroyed the ctedil, and broken tie fault of the na tion; our finances are wretchedly embarras sed; our honor tarnished; our foreign affairs in a delica e, run to say alarming contlunm. In this emeig ncy the President lays aside all party feeling, mens the question boldly, and frankly lecomnrfmds those measures which common sense dictates, as tire only practicable means of promoting be welfare of ihe country in tins crisis, lie proposes to fund the puhlic debt, amounting to near $15,000,000, and pledge the proceeds of the lands for irs redemption.. There is wisdom and sound prn.eip-Ie tn this. If 'Congress shall any longer, in a time like Ibis, trifle with the national honor, 'and jo mi wuh their schemes for President-making, they will lie hld to a terrible retribu tion by an insulted and indignant people." ., Tlwro is not a Tariff Wing in Oit Uni ted States, but sounds the ame ominous notes for the South. Their-policy substan tially is, to scalier the land fund among the Stales, and rai-e the amount (the amount! nav, two or three limes oveil) by duths upon the people. Nay, so far is the N. York American bent upon changing ihe whole course of the Government, bv ad "dnssing iw If to the cupula v of the States, ihat it seriously proposes to issue 50 or 100 until his of 11. JS. siock, based upon the public lands (to supply the wants ol a necessitous nation! Oh n!) but to distri bute the slock among the States, in order to pav their t'enis. Here then we have the 'assumption of State debts avowedly, Hut friend of the Republic! take care. If the good people of Vs. van be tempted, as the tl sciples of the Evil ne are now trying, by the present land fund, (small as it may be, not $05,000 for the year,) to induce them to forget their principles, and take us authors to their bosom, and send a majori ty into our public councils, what danger may we not be in, when an open and avow ed and general assumption of the Slate debts is held out to their cupidity? Hut no. They who make such appeals are ignorant of the indomitable integrity, and clearsight ed intelligence of the People of Virgin ia. Yet the Whigs now hope to carry the Stale by such mercenary and corrupt ap peals. "Will you not take the money ? (say they.) Will you elect men, who ctld decline ii? Who even refuse to re ceive money?" And will ihese inimitable Whig insist upon it, that we mut always receive what is offered lo us? Suppose a bribe is tendered to us -must we receive the gilded bait? for "as much money as we can grasp thus: Must woman sacrifice her virtue for the filthy lucre? 41 ust Virginia sacrifice her strict con struction doctrines, for money virtually raised for the purpose of distribution, in defiance of all the principles of the Con siiluiinnf anil when it subsidizes the State al the feet f the Federal Government? An; we silly enough to receive one dollar' and pay for it two or th.et? to prostrate the Cnmprou ise Art? and to enrrende r for $05,000, u.e right to H e Federal Govern ment to raise the Tariff from 20 to 30 per cent.? Are we mad enough to maintain distribu tion, ai.d to receive the bribe, when ii impoverishes the Fnleral Treasury, and deprives it of the best means of biuiowing ihe money it wants, and discharging the debts which it has contracted? The W'hig, who, under such circum stances, aitt mpis to seduce the suffrages -f the People electioneers for his candidate, by such short-sighted appeals lo the mer eeniry spirit of this iiniertiffed" and "unsednced Commonwealth" j unwor thy of the confluence of ati enlightened community, Such a desperate manoeuvre only shows the desperation of the Whig party.

He fore we proceed in our examination of ihe arguments in favor of a protective tariff, let us further consider and illustrate the t fl". cts of tariff taxation in general on v.ie different inieri sis of society. At Hie present rate tf expenditure, it will t:ike at leat miry-live millions of dollars annually to carry on !be Government and make any progress in payment of ihe na tional delrt. Puis is ln d iiiars a head for every man, w out m and child, black and white, in ihe United States. This amount is to be paid by a tariff of duties on unpolled merchandise,, equal to one t'lin! of its. value. N w, ichal pays this fax? Foe for eign procurer or maim hieuii er tloes not fiay, it: for his articles a'es'dd tti oxir mer chants before it is collected. Our mer chants ihemselvfs pay it to Government when ihcy land the gn.vls in tins country. Hut does it finally come out of the mer chant ? Not at all. or only -o far as they are cou-ti.ners. They add the tax to the price of the goods, with a proffil upon it. ami make no- orAi oni li.nri "t it l.a K io tht in. The scroinl purcliaper and the third do the same thing, until ihe goods are tv-Might for consumption by the farmer, planter, tirechanic, laborer, professional n, an. ami t! vilhers who u-e or consume such ariM-les. Of course, n is these who tilmiMU ly piv the iax o rfn f ioveriimeiii, increased by the prollit of the first pur chaser raises it to at least thiity-ihree and or.e-lhird, of the second to thtrij'-se ven, of the third to about forty-three, and soon, in creasing ten' t ei.ty-fi ve percent, as they Iass thiough the hands of each successie dealer. Hut for purposes of illu-tration. we will assume that the duties are thirty percent increased only to thirty -three ami one-third when they come iiita the hands of ihe consumer. The consequence te. that the farmer, me chanic, and oilier consumers pay fifty per cent, more for what they buy than they would otherwise have to pay. What we are most anxious lo etTi ri is. to make these f lasses fully sensible of the real effect of this .-ystem upon their indus try and interests. Can it be the interest of the fanner to make him cive three bushels of wheat, corn, rye, outs, potatoes, or three pounds of meat, butler, cheese, woof, $'C. fir that which would otherwise cost hiin but two ? Suppose the Government were to per mit foreign goods to come in free, thereby reducing the prices one-third, and instead of a tariff, were to station its officers at the f irmers' doors to take for the use of the Government one-third of all the produce, meat, poultiy, wool, and whatever else they send out to sell, wonld they not con sider it a mnnstrous tax ? If, instead of a tariff adding fifiy per cent to the price of merchandise ami gro ceries, the Government were to take from the mechanic and laborer one third of the money they now spend for those articles or rather should make them work for the Government one day out of three during the pei iod now occupied by them in earning thai portion of their money, would they not consider :t intolerable oppression ? There are no classes who spend a larger portion of their income in purchasing for eign commodities than lawyers, doctors, and divines. What imprest have they in paying fifty per cent, more than the regu lar and fair price for those commodities? And what interest have the merchants themselves in litis ysiem ? They, io common with the larmers, are taxed fifty per cent, on their consumption of foreign and as a class they consume more than any other. Yet, it does not increase their j profit. If a third of the capital invested in goods were not required to pay the duty, ihey could purchase fifty per cent, mor goods; and if one-third of the farmers im mechanics surplus were noi required to refund ibis dutv to the merchants, those classes would buy more goods. The con - iseqmce is, that the merchants, like the farmers, are mi la by a tariff to pav a tax in ti4 i ii mil ttf f:-eig-i g n cniS'imed on their families without ihe least return. Indeed a high tar ff is injurious to t hrrr business by lessening, and in some rases annihilating, the ability of other classes to purchase of them. Let us take another view of the effects of tariff action upon the industry of a people . Tra.le, so far n pr vliicer are concern ed, is but an interchange f commodities between producers of different countries or of the same country. The merchants and all those employed in buying, transport ing, and selling, are but the agents of the producers, paid for their services on! of the articles bought, transported, a ad sold, or out of the moneys rec-ived fir them, (which amounts to the same thing.) If ;!ie pro ducers could make these exchanges without the aid of these agen's. they would get much more in return for th product and would efnny am wz themselves the entire fruits of the mutual industry. There 'are two neighhors living close together; one has pork to spare ami wains corn, the other has corn to sp.ire and wants poik. If ihey exchange corn for pork without the intervention of a trader, it is evident ihat so far, ihev enj'vy between them the entire fruits of their own indus try. Hut it i o herwise if they sell their corn and pork to a merchant and buy of him the article wanted. The merchant lakes every fen'h pound of the pok an l every tenth bush' I of Ihe. cosa to feed his own fiiinily.ai sells ihe remaining nine for as nui'dt as he g vc for the ten. T ois, the Iwo farm ers, in-iva 1 of enjoying be tween them the entire fruits of iheir own industry, lose one fen'h by empl tying this agency to do the business for them; and thus it is ihat the merchant's support and wealth come out of the farmers and other suppose the Government were lo station its agent in the road between ihe farmers' bouses, with instructions io slop their wagons, and fake out for the use of the Government one-third of all the ptrk a id com sent for exchange, or sale, or acftriflif exchanged, would tuey steem n a benefit worthy of their gratitude and applause? - If ihe farmers live I in different townships and the tax gatherers were stall met! on tht line between t!i in, would il make ihe ma ler a whit less objectionable? If they live in different States a'nd the lax gatherer were upon the borders of ihe Stales. wuu'IJ not the effect be the same? Am! il they, live in tl'fferent nations and ihe lax gatherer is found on their coasts or their boundaries. Inking for the use of Government one-third nf all that comes innr goes out, one or both, how can it he any benefit io the farmer, m the one side tir ihe other? Can tl lie an advantage to him lo lose - one-third ol his crops nf grain or oilier produce? If so. let him raie a stock of squirrels, rats, and mice, hawks, crows, anil huzzarus, lo eat il up and save further trouble. It is 'obviously the interest of the farmer, to exchange his surplus fur what he wauls, wiih his neighbor farmer or other produ cers; without any d duciion. at all, either f r merchants profit or Government lax In exchanges with producers living in dif ferent Stales ami nations, the intervention of merchants is not to be avoided, and their profit is a fair deduction from the surplus products sold or exchanged for their pro ceeds. Hut the interposition of Govern ments taking a third or half of ihe articles exchanged for iheir own uses, is nol a ne ivssary incident M the transaction, and is a lax on all clashes of Consumers, acting with blighting effect, both directly and indirect ly, on ihe great mass of producers in both countries directly in tak.ng from them a lrge portion of their surplus produce; in directly in lessening the ability of their neighbors or fellow-pro iucers lo purchase the b lance. If I have pork to sell and my neighbor has corn, ami ihe Government take from me one-third of my p irk, I can not, wuh the ot:ier two-in mi.-, imv so much of his corn. market for corn is therefore impaired by the Government lax upon me. So, il ihe Government lake a third of his c rn, u in like manner impairs my maiket for pOrk. Thus, a tax upon one is an injury lo both, and an equal lax upon both doubles the injury. Yn ibis view, we have confined ourself to the natural and necessary effect of tariff taxation, independent of the object for which it is levied. These are its effects upon different classes nf society when im posed for purposes of revenue only. W e betr our rentiers to consider whether there is any lhing untrue or unsound in our premises or conclusions; tor our only ob ject is to lead them to the truth. If any one thinks he sees any thing erroneous in ihpui. and ill favtir us with a condensed statement or arguments adverse to our con elttsion. we will most cheerfully give it insertion in the Democrat. In the meaui'me, we shall mature some views as to the effects of a retaliatory tariff, a measure now vehemently urged upon our Government, Prom Gouge's Journal of tanking. ORIGIN OF PAPER MONtY. Il is a fact well worthy of notice, that in nil countries whicli D'.yer money lias been introduced, ,t has owed its origin, noi to the demands of commerce, but to ihe necessities of the State. The reason fur ibis) is, that commerce creates its own ineijnm. In .ommerce, conducted on le gilitiaie principles, mere promises to pay are Sever submitted for actual payment. The merchant may buy much on trust, but ttliHi the Jay arrives on which he has promised lo pay, he win, tr hones), fulfil his engagements. Thi necessities of the State, in very cient imes, introduced paper money Chinaiiiito Tartarv. mi India, ami an into into Persia! And in modern, or comparatively mnder ti ne-, the neces-ilies of ihe Stale have nirothiced paper money into Italy, Spai.i Portugal. Fiance, Germany. Rus sia. S.veden, Denmark. Great Britain, ihe Uiitfcd Stales, Hrazd, and Buenos Ay res. ! Thre are some who suppose, or seem losiiptose, that w ithout paper money there w.iuly be little or no commerce. We wouh eall their attention lo the fici, ihni in no oik country did ihe necessities of eooi mercf give ri-e to the use of paper atomy Theiact is of importance. Tie Bank of England was established on mmlitioii of lending all its capital to G. imminent. The first issue of paper moiey in mis country was made by Massa c'lihetts in 1 03 J. not to serve the purposes ol CMiimeiee. bill lo saii fy the demand of fcne clamorous soldiers. The next was made by South Carolina in 1712, lo defny the expenses of jn expedition against the Tuscaroras. The first of our regularly c matinied paper money banks was the Bark of North America. Private hem lug was undoubtedly at ihe bottom of this, buiihe schemers owed their success en ttrej lo the hopes they held out of re'iev togby their new institution the pecuniary waits of Government. The like is true t.f he firs' Bank of the United States. tanks have, indeed, been e-tablished in diferent countries, solely to aid the opera' ipns of commerce. Of this kind were the hoiks of Hamburg &, Amsterdam. Bui they vere harl money tisnks. SANTA ANNA AND TEXAS. The C-lobe gives the follow irg circum stances to exhibit the hypocrisy .of the Mexican Autocrat. Western Carolinian. ll is s'ngular mat Santa Anna should again invade Texas. His views of his du ty to .Mexico have undergone a great change since he was in Washington, or the pin ions he expressed here were deeply imbued with dissimulation. We were present at his private interview with (Jen. Jackson, (Mr. Forsyth acting as the interpreter he iween them,) whii Santa Anna declared that there must be an everlasting separation between Mexico and Texas. He spoke of ihe character of the two people, and their respective position4, as tendering this inevitable and their recent rupture as one that could never be healed. We remember the fig ire with which he illustrated ibis pari of his eloquent conversation. lie sai 1 ihat Texas was then to Mexico a bro ken, limb, so utterly incapable of a sound reunion, ihat amputation was indispensa ble, to preserve Mexico itself. W i It the greaiest apparent frankness, however, he told (Jen. Jackson, that, un der the circumstances i i which he return ed to Mexico, lie could not acl efficiently to accomplish what was so desirable; that to advocate, in the prejudiced state of feeling in Mexico, the independence of Texas, would be looked upon in bun as treason, purchased by if.e gift of his lif ; and that to exert his influence immediate y for thai obieci. would only serve to cover him with dishonor, and deprive him of all power to siccomplish what, at the proper time, in anothe" slate of puhln feeling, he would most eagerly contribute io effect. From bis letters now, it would seem that all this was hypocrisy and ihat be nourished no'.hirg but feelings of re- j veitge for bis humiliation, widiout one grauful recollection of the magnanimity which restored him to life, liberty, and power. From the Western Carolinian. THE DISTRIBUTION BIMj. Mr. Tyler has sent a special Message to Congress recommend'ng in fetrong terms ihe r.peal of the Distribution Law, and a pledge of the proceeds of the PuMin Ijands lo pay the interest of the public debt. He says t!i::i lip considered the act at the time of iis passage, a .ti?. jt!-t, and hnifficeni foeasii'e, but lias now changed bis views, and think that: "to continue it in force while there ia aosuch surplus to distribute, and then it is manifestly necessary nol only to iurrease the duties, bul at the same ltne lo borrow money in order to liquidate the the pubhc debt and disembarrass ihe pub lic Treasury, would cause u to h regarded as an niiuise alternation of ihe best recuri v of the pubhc creditor, which would with difficulty be excused, and coulJ nol be jus tified." It is well that Mr. Tyler has at Iat dis covered this. Tims the people see the miserable measures of ih Ex'ra Session abandoned of nee ssuy before t.'iey go into operation, by some of ihe very leaders who nipt l.i vvYeje 'led ny a Virf majority in ihe House, and only n it rejected, from char.ee, n the Senate, of ihe same Congress ihat passed ii ; and now ttie great boasted measure of the party, the Bnbtry Bill by which Mr. Clay hoptd in buv up the Slates, and ride into the Presidential Chair, declared by the Whig President to be "an wnvise alienation" of ih public money, thai "could mo he juufid" audits re peal recommended ! Glorious Prospects ahead. Mr.. Tyler gives Congress ihe satisfactory information, in bis la e specral messag , that although the loan bill for five millions of dollars pending before Cougn s, passes, making ihe National debt twenty two millions, still there will be a deficiency in the Trea sury ot two and a half millions, io meei the estimates for ihe year. Tnis must be raised bv iueieasing the Tariff laxrs. So' we tro squander horrow tax.

C7The Whiggery used to abuse the Democratic pariy with what was then con sidered, great violence, but there can be no sort ol comparison Detween ihat, am! the brotherly nonces. ihy are bestowing on one another vow. Their denunciations of the Democrats were harsh and vulgar; their abuse of each other is not only gross ly unmeasured, but absolutely ferocious: such names as traitors, renegades, knaves. and the like are common terms ot recipro cal application. If ihey are to be respec lively believed, there never exited upon the lace of the earth two more dishonest and utterly cotrupl factions than those vertla hle thvisons of ihe great Whig party which ha heretofore claimed "all the talent and decency" of the country. Of course the Democrats never 'doubt or dispute what eiiiier party says of the oilier ihat would be disrespee ful. 76. THE B3 Iran TW 33 -Wilis P30.UIS33.
