THE TARIFF. Extract fromllie Manage (Sop. Murthead to Tlie passage of a new TariT ofdaties, st the Ian Session of Congres, i is hoped, wiil relieve the nation from tlie temporary shifisof issuing Tieasury note, or of res orting to loans, to meet its current expense, and to pay its debts. AlieaJy its effects are visible in the increased activity of American Industry, and in the growling tone of omo of the F.uropean Journals, and, in due time, il is believed, will be visible in the increase of our ivenue.

It is high timo the principles r.nJcr which duties nuy be im posed should be settled and adhered to. The principles being, settled, the extent to which tlie power may be exercised, then necomes a matter of expediency. llW.a gree that duties may be imposed to raise revenue, but some contend Uiat- tlicy can be imposed for no oilier object. If this latter doctrine be true, then are we shorn of some of the most important prerogatives of a sov ereign peopW-tlicn may wo be auhjected to the most abject common id slavery. If it be admitted that Europe cau pour into our country the execssivo productions of ber pauper labor whenever she chooses, and csu exclude our production from her markets, or lax tliem so high as to be ruinous to us, and that we hate no power to protect our selves against tho influx of the one, or to counteract the oppressive exclusion or heavy exactions of the other then indeed are we in a helpless condition. The avowal of this doctrino is well calculated to invite Foreign Powers, who are so inclined to forget right; to impose all such tyrannical restriction upon our commerce, a their cupidity may uggesl. Indeed, for some time past, we have been approximating this condition Europe has been flooding our eoantty with the products of her labor, at a tax of some 20 per cent., while tho productions of A- merican labor nave been ' either totally ex cluded from her markets, or taxed from 50 to 2500 per cent.

On Monday evening, the 17th instant, as our readers may have already heard. the Democratic member of the New York Legislature" met in caeca, and passed lesulutions recommending tbe as sembling of a National Convention at Baltimore on the fourth Monday of No vember next, (1843.) to nominate candid ates fur President and Vice President; that the mode ef appointing delegates thereto from that State be determined at a Stute Convention, lobe hefil at Syracuse on (lie 12th September oext, coinmwe'd of per sons appointed by the republican elertnrs of the sevrtal counties, corresponding with the number of memwn of the Ai scm'jlr; declaring that though thet i'f!e CStie'KjTrreTtradj" tn-swppnrf h -rsn;i- ate ol the Lonv?ntum, i i thfir co ittctim that Martin Van Huren is the choiceof ihe dimorracy of Nw York; tftat G Bouck and Andrew Jackson are entitled to confidence; that, (ihe csucuhV are op posed, to a Bank of the United States, Jo th assumption of State debts bv the Gen- rrai uovernment. and to tlie law lor the I,. a 1. .i i ' .. distribution of the Public lands; and thst they are in favor of the Iqs'epemlerit Treasury on Ihe plan recommended by Mr. Van Buren. This movement, lon; anticipated,, had been deferred to to late t period of the seiM'trt that it begsn to be doubted whether the friends of Mr. Van Buren were strong enough in the Lfgislalure to carry their point. IS or is the recommendatisn by the ''Democratic members of the Legislature" very submissively received by their im mediate constituents. On the contrary, resolutions have been adopted by th "Democratic Young Men's Committee of he C.tyofNew York." declaring that they "do not approve of the action taken by the Democratic Republican member of the U'e Legislature, in attempting, in Ihe address and resolutions which they have prepared, to give their official anc tioa to the claims of any particular candid ate for the P.'esidenl;MthatMit tiaa nswise entrusted le them to commit tbeir con stituents to any candidate, or to make lor him such an evidence of public opto ion bring with him as their address snd resolutions may be understood te ex presi." fcc. &c. Slill Jess is this proceeding on the part of Ihe 'Democratic Members of the Le gislature" relished by portion of the "Democracy" in other State. the American Sen'inel. of Phdsde phia, the organ of the Tyler Democrats of that city, openly condemns the nomina tion and the time fixed for the holding of the "Democratic National Convention." aeoouncing me utter in the following straw.. "It hardly becomes the Democrats of New York, that at last election lost their Presidential candidate, to name to the party when ot where the National Convention should assemble. It is true this Caucus of New York add, that the Democrats of rennessec have desicmated the same day. . It would not, however, be improper to re mark that Tennessee did not site her elec toral rote to the candidate of New York at lie last election. It would be well for both of these States to look to the Democrats 'of the other Commonwealths and follow in their footslf pg.

Indeed it would not excite onr special Tv-omler if lew Hampshire should give a larger vote to Ihe next Democratic candidate for ih Presidency than both New Yorfc and T6n- nessee.

The primary meal ing and Assemblage of her democracy, will prove this ere man days have pissed. Again we repeat, the democracy of New York are not responsible for these resolu tions, which are not the expression of the pcopK They are for haimony, and fair, just dealing. They will go for a Conven tion in which tlie delegates to lepresent the Slate shall come from the people direct, and held at the usual time, which is May 1844. Th n caucus says nothing shout tlie tariff not one word; they are as silent as the grave upon s subject so deeply interesting to the South, the West, and the North - to the agricultural, mercantile and mechanical in terests of the country; the question of ques tions to the eity of New York herself, whose very cxietcbcc dcpcuJsupon the free dom of her trade.

Will there be au exposition for that meridian to lull her hi slueiber, while they shear her like a $hcepl Will she lead her sister Slates of the South ta.th.ituAji.duuaiuL.jUilive tlieir adversaries bound hand and foot! Or is there tube a creed for the South, and none, or another for liip North, as it may suit? Again, we ask, why is there no resolution against the tariff, when every otfier Whig and Federal measure is deuonncedf If a few disorganizing spirits iu the States of New York; or Virginia choose to cut loose from the gteal body of tlie Democratic party io die Union, and call and hold a Con vention next week or next November, let them do so; and upon their head will re main the odium and responsibility of the proceedings. Thank God, they cannot sa crifice the principles of the party, or defeat the candidate who will be nominated by tlie People's Convention at tho usual time in May 1844. The worst they can do, bv running a candidate, should they adhere to a November nomination,) is to throw the election into the House of Representatives, when the candidate nominated in 1844 would be elected. ' The Convention of -Virginia was made to lead offin this new and disorganizing move ment. Disguise ts a they may, it is so: but we sincerely trust the Republican party of Virgiuia will never sustain the insidious attempts at dictation which have been made as if by conceit, both at Richmond and A I. bany. 1 hey will not prove disorganize, or sustain the movement which was first made in Virginia by a well drilled Conven tion, who tlung a fireball of discord into the Democratic camp; and if followed up, must prouuee uissension, which will convulse the Republican party to its centre. AERIAL STEAM UAttUI AGE. . The art of navigating the air has hither to remained undiscovered, notwithstand ing ihe numerous attempts that have been made to emulatje birds in different age of tne worm, ret ircquenl disappointments nave not put a stop lo repeated expert ments. Why ithould the vast realms of air around and abote as be traversed only by the feathered tribes? Why should not man's dominion be extended there as well as over the erpanaa of waters! Have the birds anv claim to exclusive pninir anv more than the fishes? Water is srood for drinking and for yariou natural uses; but it is also made to bear our vessels unon ts bosom. So, air, which is eood for breathing and other purposes pertaining to healthful existence, shall it not be made subservient also to the ends of man's con venience, and to the advancement uf riv. ilization bt promoting intercourse between the various branches and members of the great human family! these considerations doubtless were active in the mind of Mr. Hcnson. ofl',A London, when he meditated upon and ii nally constructed his new Aerial Steam Carriaoe, of w hich we have accounts in the English paper just arrived. The European Times, in which Messrs. Will nicr & S'oith collect for their American reJfert all tha interesting items of news in the old world at the departure of each stesmer for shores, contains under date of April -4th a minate description el this new machine. with nravinira tn illnatral k. . ----- 7"o n- pits pign and detail. Our readers mat gain some, idea of its construction from the following account. . Its chief bulk consists of an expanse which we may call the wings, but with this reservation, that inste&u of. moving like those important members, ft is per ferfeclly jointlets, rigid, and with resprct to the rest of the machine, motionless. It is remarkable for its extraordinary d men ainn (being 150 feel lung and wide.) and for its great lightness and strength. It is a frame wink rovered with any li"ht and tolerably air tight web, as silk or lin en, lothe midiUe of this and ocross il is suspended the est. which contains the engine, paener. and cariro. and Oec piertlatiy! to ihe wings the place on me ooriy in t bird, in night the wings advance with one of thelong sides TbremoM and a little' raised, to the middle rf the other id is attached a tail of SO feet long, which can he raised -or lowered so as to cmtrol the flight s lo elevation, be neath it is a vertical rudder, which h the same offices as to a horizontal direc tion. ' Immediately over the car is a ver tical web, placed acrosthe wings, inten ded to ehetk lattcrsl oscillation. ' The atram engine diivet two set of vines or propellers, i.f six in fetch set, like the ail of a windmill, and 20 feet in diame ter j one of these is placed on each side of tne root ol the tail; their office is to keep ptha velocity 'of the fl'ghtby balancing the resistance of the air in front, i The caniage, thus constructed and pre pared for flight, sets out from the top of an inclined place of cheap and ready con struction, and before it has accomplished its decent down the plane, it has arouired Velocity' so treat that tha imnact f ih sugryij sloping uniirr sunace oi its wings on the air is sufficient io sustain its weicht :r .1.....1..1:. - -i . 1.1 - ' , . i- . .

This effee'ed. the carriage remains supported, during the whole of its flight bv virtue of the down ward resistance of the air, due to its ori g'uiial and continued peed. The pfificllple upon which the machineis started upon its aerial flight is taken from a supposed analogy with the principle on which a large bird begins its career in Ihe air. In starling from a tree or high rock the brid makes a swoop downwards to ac quire velocity; that gained, it requires hut little pffiit lo rise again, and increase his speed. Toe violent effort made by slow jnd hea.vj.birdsjs ground, -and the easy flight ol the same birds after they have attained sufficient velocity, show tlie operation and impor tance of the same principle. The p;ier(jf Ihe steam engine employ ed by Mr. Uenson is about that of twenty horses: its weight, including that of water used, is about 600 poundi. The whole machine, with all its appliances, cargo and passengers, will neigh, it is estimated, about three thousand pound'. Il sus taining surfaces measure 4,500 square feet: the load is, therefore, two-thirds of a pound to each square foot, which is less than that of many birds. it doe net appear that any experiments of a conclusive character have been made to test this intention. The opinions of some scientifio men are in favor of its practicably, while in the estimation of others the thing it absuid. Nrwton's Journal or Arts ard Sciekugs declares the project to be "most visionary and fallacious " But a bill is before Pari ia ment for forming a jint-stock company, to try the intention by a practical experi ment.

An hishman with his family, some time since, tok up hi residence in Flor ence in diirjcoujUv four or five miles from the village, and a mile from any neighbor. Last summer the man was killed by the fall ing of a tree, leaving a wife and three small children. Left thus alone, the poor woman managed to sitBtain herself an little ones comfortably, till the winter with its sever ity came upon her. The deep snow shut her tip within her Utile shantv, and she was soon forgotten by the world without. One of her near neighbors chancing to call hrr to mind, put on sno-w ghoes.jind pro ceeded to her house nearly buried in the snow. With much difficulty he succeded ia entering, and then-wJint.. a scene 1 In one corner lay the lifeless emaciated body of the mother, The suffering spirit had fled. ' By the side of their mother' eorpee lay the three childten, just gasping'in the last stage of tarvation. They werq im mediately taken to, the neighbor's house, and supplied with food. But in one, life was too far spent. . It . oon joined, its mother. The. others luve recovered. Not a mouthful of food was found in the house ; the ppr woman,' faithful to the-impulse of. a mother heart, had fort days borne the keen pains of hunger, without tasting food, that she miglit give all of her scanty store to lier starving chil dren. She lived to see them devour the last crumb; then laid herself, down and yielded to the agonies of death by starva tion. " ' : V" ' "- ' i FIRE AGAIN.

Tho far covered the w holt of one side of the neck, extending from Ui middle of the chin, and again from the ant. ; rior to the posterior end of the collar bone. , By ihe contraction of the skin the lower lip was completely turned out neaily toth botton of the chin, and the jaw was drawn t tvrn; thebis-at the- posiiioa of' the lower teeth was horizontal. Dr. E.' divided the scar and brought the jaw and lirii nr. Irt ita nmnv nAolilnm k... .1.:. I..A .

The wound on the shoulder was carefully drawn together and the patient is doing' well. She bore the tedious and painful dis section with great fortitude. The enure operation we learn was never performed in Europe and never before in New England. It is not unusual to release such contractions of the skin by the knife; but Dr. Muter, of Philadelphia, first attempted to cover tha wound from the adjoining skin. It has been tried lire or six times in the country since with success, and it is believed thst the first ease in New England will result sat isfactortly. Dr. Ellsworth has been vrr successful in othet delicate operations, uid takes a high rank in his profession.

COMPOSI TION OF THE TYLER - PARTY. This cotinlry presents at this lime a" spec tacle, winch except lor Us eflects on Us pros perity, would be pronounced as the most lu dicrous and most laughable since the founda tion of the Government. When General Jackson attained the height of his power, hs inJ about him the basest and meanest of all creatures that he could muster out of all the moral filth of tho country, but the Kiicbea Cabinet of his time had at least the merit of possessing talents of no mean order. Blair and Kendal el id genus omne were matches in political knavery, hypocrisy and cunning, out nicy were no loots, 1 hey went for the greatest amount of plunder, just aa Loce- tocoism atways goes, lor tho greatest good of the 'greatesttiumber when it is about to adopt some new, scheme of rapacity to pick the pockets of their opponent on a tans scaie. - The aspect of affairs is changed at Wash ington in one respect. 1 ho advisers of Pre sident 'I tier are, a great many of theav most insignificant in point of talent, snd worthless m point ofcharactet as were Blair, Kcndull & Co.
