CHRISTMAS. ;
Befor another paper is issued from this Press,
CnaisTMxs, with all its joyousnesa and hilarity,
will be here. And although it is the custom of
our brother Editors, ori each return of this an.
cient festival, to makevmany graceful flourishes
of rhetoric, yet we must content ourselves
with wishing oar readers, one and all, a very
merry and happy Christmas, with the simplicity
that always accompanies truth. .. And to our fair
readers, particularly, would we say, if the wishes
of an humble individual, like ourself, could avail
aught -May you be as happy as the merriest lit
tle bird that warbles sweat welcome to the open
ing Spring. As the April sun kisses the dew
from young flowers, so may" prosperity dry the
tears that, percnance, have trembled on vour
cheeks. May all your dreams of felicity be
bodied, and not a cloud threaten the serenity of
your Summer heaven. We would organize all
the good spirits of the air into a winged Militia,
to guard your steps ; we would infuse into your
imaginations, hopes never to be blasted, and af
fections never to be betrayed. We would but
stop we only -took our pen in hand to say, that
this paper will not be again Issued until Friday
next The lex non,,scrtpto the unwritten law
is vejfystf bitrary. .No ' persuasions : or threats
could" induce Journeymen Printers to work! on
Christmas day ; so we could not print a paper if
we toouQ. . And besides, Christmas is a day which
all Christians should observe, (albeit some abuse
it most shamefully,) and we see no reason why
Printers and horses should be the only working
animals at such' a seasons

But lest this be doubted, we submit the fo

the Bill, he said - To this distressing state of
things there are but two remedies, both cbnstitu.

Country, I mean - the Navy and DOMESTIC

duty on Cotton goods from 30 to 20 percent.
Mr. Calhoun vote&Xn the negative! Amotion
was made to reduce the duty on coarse woolens
to 12 1-2 per cent and Mr. Calhoun voted in
the negative ! A motion was then made to strike
out the "minimum, principle," the vitalprinciple
of protection, and Mr. Calhoun voted and spoke
against the motion ! And, be it remembered
that this was not a "revenue Tariff but essen
tially one for M protection. Mr. Ingham, of Penn.
sylvania, a thorough Jackson Democrat, and mem
ber of the Committee which reported the Bill, J
said Congress has already provided all thereto
enue expected to be. necessary. The primary ob
ject of the BUI, is to make such modifications ef
duties upon the various articles of importation, as
toUl give the necessary and proper PROTEC
TION TO MANUFACTURES i" This Tariff
was originated, supported and passed by the
Democratic t-v I t
era-LWith regard to the Tariff of 1828. it is weli
known that the Congress, by which it was passed,
was thoroughly Democratic t The Tariff, famil
iarly known as the " Bill of abomi nations" was
originated,' supported, and passed by the Demo
cratic party, and was voted for by Martin Van
Burek ! Ma Weight t Mr. Buchanan, and otlw
Vree trade Democrats of the present day 1
The Tariff of 1842. was passed by a Whig
Congress, and is forthwith denounced by South,
era Locofocos as unconstitutional and oppressive.
n other States, where protection is popular a-
mong the Democrats, the tune is changed, and we
hear that the4 Tariff, which is doing so much for
the Country, could, not have passed but for Dem
ocratic votes,' and thus the miserable game of
deception and falsehood is played, by Locofocoism
to delude the people; into the belief that the
Tariff is a Whig measure, unconstitutional, Inez-
kpedient and subversive, of libertyhis is the
true motive of all the clamor about Tariffs, and
we do not hesitate to say, it hi base and unworthy
the party who have adopted it. There is in real
ity, but one siIe to this question. A Tariff, suf
ficient to defray the expenses of the General
Government, must be maintained, no matter what
party are in power. Each section of the CouBtry
will require that their own interests shall be pro
tected, by a proper discrimination in laying the
duties. The Planters of the Southern States
have no more right to expect the Hemp grower of
Kentucky, the Wool grower, of Vermont, or the
Cotton manufacturer 0 Massachusetts, to vote
or a Tariff, which shall amount to prohibition on
Cotton and Sugar and yet admit Hemp, Wool and
Manufactured Cottons free of duty, than to expect
they would vote for excusing them from furnish
ing their quota of militia in case of an invasion,
or paying their portion of the expense of a foreign 4
war. The task of adjusting a Tariff must always
be a delicate one and instead of being made the
hobby of miserable Demagogues, requires the
ablest heads and Boundest hearts, elevated by a
noble patriotism, and assisted by a spirit of mutual
concession and accommodation.
The course of Mr. Van Buren upon this sub
ject, has been reprehensible in the extreme.-

THE CRADLE OF LIBERTY.
TifE Boston Municipal Elections took place
on Monday, and resulted iu a triumph of the
Whigs, whore-elected Martin Brimmer to the
Mayoralty by a majority of 2,464 votes over all
others, which is an increase upon his majority of
last year of 515 votes. The whole Board of Alder
men are also Whigs, as well as a large majority
of the Common Council and other City officers.'-
The Council stands forty Whigs, six Locos, and
two vacancies : last year it was thirty-five to
thirteen. The Whigs carried all the Wards but
two, and nearly tied their opponents in one of them
(the second) which has long been their strong
hold. Truly does the Atlas remark that this
good old city maintains uobly her position among
the Whig Cities of the Union.
O" A sharp rencounter of words occurred in
the House of Representatives, on Tuesday last,
i the Tennessee Legislature, between the Spea
ker, Mr. Barringer, and Mr. Trott. The latter
member presented a bill "to prevent partiality and
corruption in the discharge of the duties of the
ofiice of Speaker of the House of Representatives.
This the Speaker construed into a reflection upon
his course, and applying certain harsh epithets to
Mr. Trott, au unpleasant excitement arose. The
bill was finally withdrawn.
O A letter from Washington in the New York
American says : Tyler is outrageous about the
election of Blair & Rives, as Printers. He says
the contest is now narrowed down to Clay and
Van Buren, and Ae chances are two to one in favor
of CZoy. Now, no thanks to him for this as news
we knew it long since ; but it is news that
he should at length have a perception of the truth.
O" A memorial is in circulation for signatures,
asking Congress to abolish Spirit Rations in the
Navy. About a year ago, the spirit ration was
reduced from a gill a day to half a gH ; and the
object of the memorial is to ask that it may be
reduced as much more. In general, the officers
of the Navy are in favor of the change ; and to J
those who are not, it would probably be a greater
blessing thau to those who are-

resignation af Mr. Payne. .
Mr. Adams asked in a feeble voice to be ex

the arduous duties which would thus be imposed
upon him. The House excused him.
Mr. Elmer, under the instructions of the Com

whether the elections in the undistricted States
were ire conformity to the Constitution and the

Representatives from those Stales were entitled
to retain their . seats.
Mr. Steearod said this was an important matter,

After some time had been consumed in debate,
in which various opinions were advanced as to the
proper committee to take the matter in hand, Mr.
Jameson moved, as an amendment to the amend
ment offered by Mr. Steenrod, that the case be
referred to a Committee of the Whole House.
What was the object, he said, of sending the
question either to a Select or to the Standing Com
mittee? The main object certainly was to get a
report on a particular question, turning wholly on
ther Jaw and the Constitution; and was not the
whole House as well qualified to settle such a
question as any one of its own Committees, or as
any select committee it could raise 1

by offering a resolotioa directing the customary

Washington. Dec. 14. 1843.
There are some strange dissensions springing
p in the Loco camp. The errand difficult? lies in
deciding who are to be privates and who offisers.
Each one thinks himself qualified to command, and
that the rest ought to obey. This discord among
the equal rights" gentlemen reminds me of an
incident that occurred at pne of the large theatres
in London. A number of boys, of various sizes,
were hired for the purpose of representing a storm
at sea. The large boys were paid eighteen pence
per night, and the small ones a shilling. The
storm was raised as follows : The boys were
thrust beneath a large carpet, and ordered to roll
and tumble about in all directions. The desired
effect was produced, for, at a proper distance, tho
undulations of the carpet afforded a tolerably good
picture of real waves. One night, however, an
unusual commotion was observed, and the waves
tossed and dashed about in a most unmarine
fashion. The manager ran in a great fury and
demanded what was the matter. He was told
that the shilling waves was thrashing the eighteen
penny ones, and demanding equal rights. Now
it is just so with the Loco waves that are creating
such a tumult beneath the political carpet. The
shilling men know they do as much work as the
eighteen penny ones ;.and for the sake of princi
ple, and as a solemn duty, they feel bound to thrash
their elder brethren into terms. A'. Y. American.
SOUTH CAROLINA.
Among the proceedings of the Legislature of
South Carolina on the 13th instant we observe
that a bill amendatory of the Constitution of the
State, so as to limit the term of the judicial office
to the age of sixty-five -years, has passed- the
House ot Representatives by the constitutional
majority of two-thirds, and afterwards passed the
Senate without opposition. ,
We notice also that, on the same day, the bill
to amend the State Constitution with a view-to
the suppression of duelling was lost in the House
of Representatives by a vote of ayes 62, noes !49
there not being two-thirds in its favor. The
import of the bill is not stated, but, from requir
ing an amendment of the Constitution to effect
its object, it is presumed that the bill proposed to
make duelling a disqualification for holding office
under the State Government Nat. Int.

C. soon, and if Cod spares me health and good
luck, I'll see him' when he comesI knew that
man sir? continued she, in a voice that plainly
told of -great effort to suppress tears, when a
tioot friendless bov and often have I seen him
"J plodding to mill through the slashes of Hanover
true, sir, as you sit m that chair, although
some people seem not to believe it." This wor
thy matron, says bur informant, Was born and
raised in the 'neighborhood of the 'slashes of
Hanover,' and goes for ' Harry of the West, for
President against the world. Asking her pardon
or the liberty taken by these remarks we nope
that her son John will "feed op the beast and
have it as M fat as a butter ball" by the time
Henry hmds in North Carolina. We hope
Mrs. C. will not only see Mr. Clay at Raleigh;
but speak to him, and make herself known ; and
our word for it, he will give her hand an 'extra
shake of cordiality 3ft2..C&nm.
