Origin of paper Monty. -It is a fact well wor
thy ol notice, that in countries into which paper
money lias been introducrdJitjh,a.Q
not 10 me ucmuuus in cuiiiuiricc, uuttu iu.- iitcb
sitiesoflho State. Tho reason (or this is, that
commerce creates its own medium. In commerce,
conducted on legitimato principles, mere jn-omue
to pay are never substituted iur actual juyiiiti.t
Tue murcliaiil may buy much on trust; hut when
the day arrives on winch ho h is promised to pay,
he will, if solvent and honesft fulfil his engagemenis.
I he necessities of states, in v- y ancient timus,
introduced paper money in'o Chum, into Tariuty,
into In'ha", and iiilo Persia. And in -rtf&ilDn, or
cooiparatively modern times, tho necessities i the
state have introduced paper money into Italy,
Spain. I'ortujijl, France, Germany, VJussia, Swo
den, Denmark, Gteai Emum, the United" Btaies,
Rratil and Buenos Ayrcs. .
, There arc soma who suppose, or seem to suppose,
tliat,wilhoul paper money there would be iittlo or
no commerce. Wo would call their allcniioo to
tho fact, that in BO one country dm the neceMilics
of commerce give rise to the uso of paper money.
Tbe Bank of England was established on coi.-di
tion of lending all its capital to government. -
Tho first issue of paper nvney in this country,
mado by Massachusetts in 100, was not to serve
tho purposes or commerce, but to satisfy tl.o de
mands of aomo clamorous soldiers. The next was
mado by South Carolina in 1715, to defray

MR. TYLER AND THE TARIFF.
The Tariff question will shortly coma upon tlio
carpet, mi l it now becomes a point of hoido curios.
i y and interest to inq lire into tho opinions f Mr.
Tylor on tint tiiiijw.t. -In justification of his flatili
vetoes, Mr. Tyler referred to hi long avowed ami
Irequently ixpressed opinions) on that mcaMtrc. It.
i lair to conclude thence, that' lie will in tin). mat
ter of a, new bill establishing a Turifl' of duties on
imports,' be governed by tlio anno obligations of
consistency a in the case A ' the Jlank.' We
therefore now invoke tho reader's particular atten
tion. to the following statetnenta of Ilia opinions of
Mr. Tylef on the Tarill, as uttered recently and
on former occasions. . .., .
lo President Tyler's Message to 'tho present'
Congress, ho uses the following expression s " In
tmpottigMlutie, newevcr, lor tho purpoo ol re-
ufcli tKe duty shall be laid, as well as the amount, .
necessarily and properly exists otherwise tho

the Sovcrnment may bo justified in an difcrlrry

By consequence, a tariff slvaped Hot by 'tho ono

a direction compounded of and intermcdnto ba.
tween that line and the lino" of protection," must
fall without tlio true line of the 'constitution, and
that in proportion as Iho false principle or protection
is obtruded into lha true principle of levqm ?.
llcyei.uo and protection coofl.ei ; a regard, there-
