the tariff of, 181 G we all t now something of the
'parentage, Itsjjrincipal authors and advocates
reTunderstooiHo have been Mr. Lowndes and
Mr, Calhoun of South Carolina; and I havo more
. than once heard, from those whose authority can
hardly be questioned, that the friends of thismeii-
suro in Massachuolis endeavored to exert an in.
fltienco upon at-Jeast one of thesftvgenilcinen,
t(Mr. Lowndes,) to prevent hint front overdoing
the matter, and pushing his protective policy too
. far. We see too, in these tables, by whoke voles
oil these successive measures were sustained.
,fhey were, emphatically, the measures ol the
Middle and Western States; and whatever benefit
' Now England has received from them," has been
'. received in spile of her own votes. ; ; . t

Whether thjs disease is 'contagious, that is,
whether it may ba communicated by touch, or in
oculation, or whether it is infectious, that is
whether it may be communicated by being in; or
brealhi::g the air exposed to the influence of the
disease, or, whether it is both contagiousand in
feciuqus, are questions upon which" jliysiijiaris
haVe entertained, and still do entertain onnoaTte
opinions. While doctors are disagreeing and'en-j
deavoring lo maintain favorits theories, those
who have not the light of medical 8ced'ilo
guide them, will be verj likely upon such facts, as
rtiese, jo come to the coutlusion, that the tlisease

clock, P. M., On arriving in theinimcdiatn vicini
ty of tho Qamthor, we observed some hundred
of families encamped and engaged ilT thai, same
operation1, and surrounded Jb thoify weeping- fa
milies and relations. Some portion of their fur
