SHERIDAN AND THE BOOTS.
A short time after his leaving Harrow, he
went down to Bristol to upend a few days.
Before he quitted that place, lie wished to
obtain, on credit, a new pair of boots. He
called on two different sons of Crispin; or
dered each to make nim a pair of boots, and
to bring them home at different hours of the
day he had fixed for his departure, telling
them they should be punctually paid on the
delivery of their goods. On the appointed
morning, the first that came found the young
gentleman in expectation. He tried on the
boots, found that one of them pressed upon
his heel, directed die man to take it home.
stretch . it, and return with it the next mor
ning; the man, who could not comprehend
of what service a aingle boot con'.d be to the
possessor, nbyed. His brother Crispin soon
followed; the same fault waa found, the same
directions repeated; and Sheridan having ob
tained a boot from. each, mounted his hack
for the metropolis; leaving hia dupes to la
ment their folly in being duped by a raw
stripling.

people, and Fairfax ten more, so as to
Itive it a mammy, that their annual nro-
fits were three hundred thousmd dollars
each making an aggregate of six hundred
thousand, and the disbursements two
hundred thousand a year each alike con
tributing one hundred thousand; that
Fairfax, from its majority of ten should
expend the whoe sum contributed in that
County: the result, he Said, would be that.
at the end of the year, Fairfax would
have four, and . Loudon two, of the six
hundred thousand dollars; and by repeat
ing this for three years, Fairfax would
have the whole currency.
V hen he had concluded, a friend who
sits near me remarked, "that's very clear."

that revenue enough can be raised, either

except tea ami coffee, will be but 15 mil

ator implores us lo continue the reduc

do nf, with civil discord, commotion, and
bhodthed This is the honorable crnlle-
man's nw form of nullification! and he
threatens it, upon the passage of resolu
tions which propose to carry nut the g-neral
provisions of the roinprnmie act an act
which was satisfactory to all who regard
ed nullification as peaceful rented v.
This suggestion of the honors ble Sens
tor frim New Hampshire brings to my mind
an illustration' of the doctr ne f nullifica
tion, presented to me by a .Ilstinguished
Senator who is auppoied to be rnaiter of
the iubjectf and I have hia authority for
repeating it. . He says hia doctrine ii, that
a State, if it thinks a general law is un
constitutional or oppressive, has a right to
Mir tAt wheeli and atop the machinery of
Government. Thl was his Ant mode of
illustration; but this morning I am told it
i$, that the State has a right to uncog and 1 those ef Fairfax to subist upon, while at
side of the table, ami fou r on" the other--
they ea. h take fiive waferiTeuresentinir the
weaTtTi of tiie ' cnmmuniir, one wafer each j
to be the annual contribution. The five
on one side the table, out voting the other
lour, order tins contribution to be laid out
among themselves, for the expenses of the
vsuvcriiiiieot. io continue tnis lor me
years, would transfer the whole wealth a-
mong the five. Each mode of stating the
process he thought conclusively proved the
correctness in nis tneory.
AH this may be very good abstract the.
ory; but in practice there is no sound
ness m it. as a practical matter, its er
ror is, in supposing that these minorities
do noth'mfr, while the majority corn the
public money, bv employment on the uub-
i:. i.. , . - - r -
win or ii puunc unices.
in the case put b? the Senator, ol the
two counties of Virginia, the Drofits would
depend upon which class of citizens waa
employed at the bttt waget. or in ihe
tnott pwhtctive labor; :hoe of Fairfax by
the Government, on public works and
in the .'oflhr-g, or those of Loudon, in
raising provisions and producing other sup
plies for their subsistence.
It is plain, if all other thiner wereenual.
and the people of the two counties deoU
with talk other, as those of theas Riatea
do, that it woold. make very linle differ
ence, in point of wealth, which county
had the public employment; but take into
the account the dependent aubmission,

nut it is still harder to have no work to do.
Ihe people want b..ih to prosper,
j Hut these frce-trai'e folks of ihe late ad-
mini, (ration, hy th. ir tampering wiih fiie
currency, hive bren dulfing ine tools cf
t radv lor years, and its (riends now pro-.,
poe free trade, to take away the work
from our people n;id give it to foreigners;
so that hereafter labor in ihis Country is to
have neither work nortnoU!
Upon thi. subject of employment, I am
glad the nnnorable Senator ha such cor
rect views. lie says it is wiore valuable
than money; and 1 agree with him. His
argument i without practical soundness
when applied, as he applies it, to a people
wow iniercnange lauor, ami when the ag
gregate employment is enjoyed. by them
alone. It js then a question merely as lo
wlAich mode public or private employment,
is most profitable; but when it is tounec- '
ted with the subject now b f re us.it is a
good argument for the wiretori of our
tabor against the ifieap labor of Europe;
for to buy of nati. ns who will not, or do
not, buy of you. no mater how cheap jou
buy, will eventually bring ns to the con
dition wliich he tried to bring the neupleof
Loudon into: by losing the offices and
work too, we shall lose all, and foreigners
will get all ihe wealth. This is underttood
by those who leach fret trade io Eng.
land, if it be not by their friends who ad
vocate it here. They put that doctrine forth
for ut to follow, but have too mucfi rood
eenne to follow it themsetee.
I Mr. Calhoun again internosed and
said, "that the expending of publi. money
in one section, as in Fairfax, not onlverfve
employment, which wae better than mo
ney, but there was a great advantage lo
that county by the improvements jiade in
it bv the expenditures, such a roads,"
&r. j
Mr. s. resumed. Tint is very true.

Senator returning to hie former view upon
the tvbject of these roads, or internal im
provements.

of the Bubjert. I have fatigued ihe Sen
ate and myself, too. bv hobbling along in
thia.kind of running fight.
During the remarks upon this part of
ihe subject, the honorable Senator front
