For "the purpose of throwing dust into the eve of ihe former?, the Bill further proposes the following impost duties, viz: on for and pork, two cents per pound; on bacon, three cents per pound; on butter, Jive cents per pound; on flour SO cents per 112 pounds; on wheat, twenty-five cents per bushel. These are but a few of the new taxes the Whig leaders in Congress now propose to lay, but they are enough to show the peo ple whit is intended, and what they may expect .if the Whigs continue in power. The object in imposing these taxes is, and the effect will be, o Vaise the prices on whatever the formers have to buy, and to lessen the prices on whatever they have to sell remainder in our next.)

Fourth 0 July. The 67ih Anniver sary of our National Independence was cel ebrated in this place on Monday last, in an enlivening and enthusiastic manner. At day break the roar of cannon and the ring ing of bells commenced, and the "Star Spangled Banner," was unfurled. At 11 o'clock, the citizens and visiters, compris ing a large number of Ladies and Gentle men, assembled at the 13 iptist church. An impressive prayer was made to the Throne of Grace, bv Rev. Wm. Pearce, and an appropriate Hymn sung by an amateur Band. The Declaration of Independence was then read by Mr. Nathan Matthew son, in a spirit-stirring and patriotic man ner and was succeeded by the popular songj the "Star Spangled Banner." The Orator of the Day, Wm. F. Dancy, Esq. then arose and delivered a chaste, classical, and historical Oration, which was followed by the National Song, "Hail Columbia." A federal salute closed the morning exer cises. A dinner having been prepared at Mrs. Gregory's Hotel, in her usual profuse and sumptuous manner, George Howard was called to preside, assisted by Henry T. Clark, Esq. The following are the regu lar Toasts: 1. The 4th of July Our political Sab bath: May its votaries ever bicathc at its altar the spirit of '70. 2. Mecklenburg Declaration of Inde pendence, 20th May, 1775: North Caro lina then kindled the first spark ill that bright blaze which lighted our path to glo ry and independence. 3.

North Carolina: Wc are proud of her institutions at home and of her character as a member of I lie Confederacy. 7. The Star Spangled Banner: Forever float that standard sheet, Where breathes the. foe but falls before, us; With freedom's soil beneath our feet, And freedom's banner streaming o'er us, S.

Our Country: May every citizen consider himself the special guardian ol her honor, liberty and interest. 12. Our University: She proudly points to the Senate, the pulpit, and bench, as the highest proof of her excellence. 13. The Ladies: They are as good as they are fair, None on e.mh above them; As pure in thoughts as angels are, To see them is to Iovh them. The following were among the Volun teer Toasts: By the president 1 ho day we cele brate: May it ever be exempt from nartv contentions, political bickering?, and per sonal strites. uy me v ice rresiueni 1 ne urator of the Day: W'e congratulate him on his sue cess lo-day; we hope he may attain that eminence, that the State may be as proud Juvenile Celebration. The boys in this place, being equally desirous will) their seniors to exhibit their patriotism, de termined also to celebrate in a public man ner our National Anniversary. Accord ingly a miniature cannon was procured, and a "Star Spangled Banner," with which in the afternoon they formed a pro cession at the Court House, under the di rection of John R. Ross, whence they pro ceeded to the Male Academy, where a large number of Ladies and Gvntlemen had assembled. The Mecklenburg Declara tion of Independence was read in an cm- phatic manner by Joseph Raker the Na tional Declaration was read with manly em phasis by Wm. II. Johnston, and an elo quent and appropriate Oration delivered by George Howard, Jr. The ceremonies were enlivened by the occasional discharge of musketry and cannon After which, they again formed in procession, and marched to the dinner table, which had been prepared in the Grove near the Aca demy. We are pleased to add that noth ing occurred to mar the festivities of the day. of him as he is of the State. Congress. The President has signed the Apportionment bill, but with a condi tional approval, which 1ns been filed in the State Department, and is thus described by the Globe ofthe 5th inst: Every body knows that the Pr esident's signature is necessary to the validity of an act of Congress, (sivethoe which are pass ed b two-thirds;) and in this case, the sig nature is given with a proviso which kills the act. The President, in the paper offi cially filled with the act in the Department of State, declares that he only signs it as an advisory act as an act advising the States to district themselves. Thus, as an obliga tory law, ho has refused lo sign it; and as for the advice, it is gratuitous, unasked, and uncalled for; and will find its fate in the application of an old adasre, made for the rebuke of self-constituted and intrusive counsellors. The President has Vetoed what was called the Little Tariff Dill, which repeal ed the provision in the Distribution law, that restored to the Treasury the proceeds of the sales of the Public Lands, when it became necessary to increase the duties a- bove 20 per cent. The following is the MESSAGE. To the House of Representatives: 1 rettpn the bill which originated in the louse of Representatives, "An act to ex tend, for a limited period, the present laws for lavinir and collecting duties mi im- J n - o " orts, with the following objections: It suspends mother words, abrogates for the time the provision of ihp net f 1833, commonly called the "compromise act." 1 he only ground on which this de parture from the solemn adjustment of a great and agitating question seems to have been regarded as expedient, is the alleged necessity of establishing, by legislative en actments, rules and regulations for assess ing the duties to be levied on imports, after the 30th June, according to the home valuation; and yet the bill expressly pro vides lhat "if, before the 1st of August, there be no further legislation upon the subject, the laws for laying and collecting duties shall be the same as though this act had not been passed." In other words, that the act of IS33, imperfect as it is con sidered, shall in that case continue to be, and to be executed, under such rules and regulations as previous statutes had pre- last.peace, while all the other great pow ers have been increasing theirs, and whose resources, already so great, are yet but in the infancy of their development, should be compelled to haggle in the money-market for a paltry sum not equal to one year's revenue noon her economical system? If the distribution law is to be indefinitely suspended, according not only to its own terms, but by universal consent, in the case ol war, wherein are the actual exigencies ef the country, or the moral obligation to provide for them, less under present cir cumstances, than they could be were we actually engaged in war? It appears to me to be the indispensable duty of all con cerned in the administration of public af fairs to see that a state of things so humilia ting and so perilous should not last a mo ment longer than is absolutely unavoida ble Much less excusable should we be in pitting wi:h any portion of our available means, at least until the demands of the treasury ate fully supplied. Hut, besides the urgency of such considerations, the fact is undeniable, that the distribution act could not have become a law without the guaranty in the proviso of the aci i'self. This connexion, thus meant to be insep arable, is severed by the bill presented to me. The bill violates the principle ofthe acts of IS33 and September, 1S41, by sus pending the first, and rendeiing, for a time, the last inoperative. Duties above 20 per cent, are proposed to be levied, and yet the proviso in the distribution act is disregard ed. The proceeds of the sales are to be distributee! on the 1st of August; so. that, while the duties propo-ed to be enacted ex ceed 20 percent., no suspension of the dis tribution to the States is permitted to take place. To abandon the principle for a month, is to open the way for its total a bandoument. If such is not meant, why postpone at all? Why not let thedistribu scribed, or had enabled theExecullve De partment to prescribe for that purpose, leav ing the supposed chasm in the revenue laws such as it was before. I am certainly far from being disposed to deny that additional legislation upon the subiect is very desirable on the contrary, the necessity, as well as difficulties, of es tablishing uniformity in the appraisements to be made in conlormity with the irue in tention of that act, was brought to the no- . - f . . tice of Congress in my message to v,ongre.v nt tlif nnnninir nf its nresent session. Hut however sensible I may be of the embar r:issmrnt tr whip h the Executive, in the absence of all aid from the superior wis dnm nf thp I .nine atlire. Wl be liable, ill wv,... . v.w f-, , the enforcement of the existing laws, have not, with the sincerest wish to ac quiesce in its expressed will, been able to persuade myself that the exigency -of the occasion is so great as to jusliiy me in sign ing the bill in question, with my present views of its character and effects. The ex isting laws, as I am advised, are sufficient to authorize and enable the collecting ofli cers, under the directions of the Secretary of the Treasury, to levy the duties imposed by the act of 1S33. That act was passed under peculiar cir cumstances, to which it is not necessary that 1 should do more than barely allude What may be, in theory, its character, have always regarded it as imparting the highest moral obligation. It has now ex isted for nine years, unchanged in any es sential particular, with as general acquies cence, it is. believed, ofthe whole country, as that country has ever manifested for any of her wisely established institutions. It has insured to it the repose which always Hows from timely, wise, and moderate counsels a repose the more striking, be cause ofthe long and angry agitations which preceded it.

The bill under consideration is designed only as a temporary measure; and thus a temporary measure, passed merely for die convenience of Congress, is made to affect ihe vital principle of an important act.

The manufacturing classes have now an opportunity, which may never occur again, of permanently i dcntilying their interests with those ofthe whole country, and making them, in the highest sense of the term, a naiional con cern.

In fact, a doubt This Institution is flourishing, having maybe well entertained, according to had, Ihe last Session, besides chTldren of strict legal ruies, wnetner me conmuon, , ,he Town, many Boarders from a dis- having neon inus expressly suspeuueu uy this bill, and rendered inapplicable to a case where it would otherwise have clearly applied, will not be considered as ever after satisfied anil gone. Without expressing any decided opinion on this point, I see e- tercsts of the whole country, in the intro- nuugh in it lo justify me in adhering to the duction of harmony among all its parts and all its several interests. The same rate of imposts, and no more, as will most surely re-establish the public credit, will secure to Ihe manufacturer all the protection he ought to desire, with every prospect of perma nence aud stability which the hearty ac quiescence of the whole country, on a rea sonable system, can hold out to him. But of this universal acquiescence, and the harmony and confidence, and the ma ny other benefits lhat will certainly result from it, I regard the suspension of the law for distributing the proceeds of the sales .of the public lands as an indispensable condi tion. 1 his measure is, m my judgment, called for by a large number, if not a greai majority, oi the people 01 the United States; by the state ot the public credit and finan ces; by the critical posture of our various foreign relations; and, above all, by that most sacred of all duties public faith. l'he act of September last, which provides lor ihe distribution, couples it inseparably with the condition, that it shall cease lu st, in case of war; second, as soon and so long as the rale of duties shall, for any reason whatever, be raised above 20 per cent. Nothing can be more clear, express, or im perative, than this language. It is in vain to allege that a deficit in the treasury was known to exist, and that means were taken to supply this deficit by loan when the act was passed. It is true that a loan was au thorized at the same session during which the distribution law was passed; but ihe most sanguine of the friends of the two measures entertained no doubt but that the loan would, be eagerly sought after and ta ken up by capitalists, and speedily reim bursed by a country destined, as they ho ped, soon to enjoy an overflowing prosper ity. The very terms of the loan, making it redeemable in three years, demonstrate this beyond all cavil. Who, at the time, foresaw or imagined the possibility of the present real state ot things, when a nation hat has paid offhur whole debt since the law us it stands, in preference to subjecting a condition so vitally affecting the peace of the country, and so solemnly enacted at a momentous crisis, and so steadfastly adher ed to ever since, and so replete, if adhered to, with good to every interest of the coun try, lo doubtful or captious interpretation. In discharging the high duties thus im posed on me by the Constitution, I repeat to the House my entire willingness to co operaie in all financial measures, constitu tional and proper, which in its wisdom it may judge necessary and proper to re-establish the credit of ihe Government. 1 believe that ihe proceeds of ihe sales of the public lands being restored to the treasury or, more properly speaking, the proviso of the act ol September, 1S4 1, being per milted to remain in full force a tariff of duties may easily be adjusted, which, J while it will yield a revenue sufficient to maintain the Government in vigor, by re storing its credil, will alford ample protec tion, and infuse a new hope into all our manufacturing establishments. The con dition ot the country calls for such legisla tion, and it will afford me the most siuceie pleasure to co-operate in it. JOHN TYLER. Washington, June 29, 1S42. Rhode Island.
