PO LITIC Al*. Continued from our last. Why, this Mr. Ingham Was a gen ieman of £reat standing and indents, was a member from :he*staie of Pen nsylvawia, u Slate more deep ly interested in a high protecting tariff, than unv other in 'ho Union. He was sent io Con gress especially iusiruc.ed by his constituents, to ssi lolish if possible a Tariff for protection, for the benefit of the numerous manufacturers of his state. Being-specially charged upon the subject VI in ’h im commniiicaies hisjnews ta, "Mr, Caln inn; who rises arid examines the sub set with th’most minute security. Grateful f> oast favors, after a lapse of tw lve y ■ars, Pm.u ylvania endeavors to i equite { the C.vor ; and m Januaty, 1828 speaking tl.iough her Hmrisburgh Convention, tells Mr. Calhoun, that she will toward him with hoi twen ty eight electoral votes fur the Vice Presiden- 1 cyovei M-. Rush, one ot her own sons, an a- i tniable and talented eentleman, possessing no small share of experience in public affairs and a republican of the Jefferson school. in making this selection for the Vice Presi- [ dent no other reasons ate assigned by the con- j venlioti at Harrisburg, than—• “That Mr. Calhoun as a member of Con gress, had advocated with unrivalled eloquence, the claims of the American manufacturers to the protection of the government” No eulogist of Mr. Calhoun can enable him to controvert these facts. And here, 1. ask, can there be a greater outrage committed a gainst the purity of representation, that sacred trust of the constituent, over which we should watch with H f spmian vigilence, that to be told I by the representative of a free people, when , called on 'o account for his support of an un- - constitutional law, that because his political friend had twitched him by the coat, he had ris xan “on the spurof the moment and without pre- | mediation,” made a solemn appeal to Confess i to rivet on his constituents, “who had no inter est but in the cultivation of the soil,” to rivet upon the nation find upon posterity, a tariff sys- i tern, the burthens of which he now declares to be “too oppressive to be any longer endured.” For this same timely -.ss’st .nee, it is quite ceiLnu that in the year 1824 Pennsylvania would have given Mr. C Jhoun her twenty eighth electrriai votes ioi President, had not Gen. Jackson been in the way. This P • rl» -imen’ury traffic, this poll ic;d bar ter and exchange, must be checked, or the Un ion wdl be broken up. It is in vain to deny 1 but that the years of its duration are numbered, [ whenever members of Cong ess can parcel ou* | its powers, its officers, i>- revenues, to subserve i the soided interests of themselves and their ft- 1 voiites. I have long been saluted ot these frets «nd that reform is daily becoming more indis* ! ’reusable. Only amend 'he Consi'tutmn so is to render members of Congress intelligible tu ■any office « iMisoevet, for two yeais beyond die period for which they arc- chosen, ant! not -o be evaded by resignation, and the evil will be re moved. TIK-re are about three hundred mem bers of bath houses of Congress, reptesentinga ; mass of 13,000.000 of people, from a greater i mass of intelligence, capacity arid literary at tainments, th in any other portion of the world over furnished out of any other thirteen millions I of inhabitams. From this great mass, selections could be easily made of one hundred thousand persons, eminently qual’fiicd to fill the m >st ini- , jporiant offices belonging to the government, j without resorting to Congress, where the chan- ■ ces are more than two to one that some depen dant poor body is picked up, who has b«-eu i hackneyed in all the besetting sins of the polit ical vices of the day—z\. law having for its ob ject the exclusion of members of Congress from offices upon terms above stated, would go far towards annihilating the petty traffic carried on tit home for seats in Congress. 'Pilis brings me to ih >t part of his changes where the eulogist of the Vice Piesident asserts that “two years ago 1 deserted mv principles.” He must allude to mv address to the people of Sou.h Carolina in November 1830—i short lime only after 'nullification began t » 11 mush, and while their minds weie yet calm ami un clouded. in this address, it will be remem beivd, I recommended to the then harpy peo ple, to exercise a little patience, and tlia< public opinion,' that great arbitei in human affairs, would coirec die evil. Piitt it was impossi ble tor nullification to effect it—hat any serious attempt to enforce it must produce civil war, in which Sumn Carol n.i must subnii’ to the hu miliating ahei native of retracting lie. ste< s <s it Was prepostetous »o suppose that the general government could submit to the dictation of a single Slate. These friendly admonitions which contained no irritating language, were immedi ately denounced and distorted into a “deseni m of my principles,” whds’ it w is upbraided with the epiiiie:s— Federalist—Sunmissiunist—z\ tory—and finally, i Traitoi to mv country. Many hmie«t, generous sons of Smith Caro lina who embraced that urifn. .mate faith, will dis'iiictlv recollect this friendly counsel, and ihe unkind returns it received. I have but little do<ib that many wdl remember with bitter re gre', dial this advice was tot.dlv disregarded. But says the eulogist ol tin Vice Prisedeni “J idge Smith is about to deseri his countiy and Mr. Calhoun will not.” There is something repulsive in the expression, that 1 have desert ed South ( arolin >——and it is hi the worst sense that the expression is here used. In doing honor to the depravity of him whose ingenuity could invent such a change it is piop er forme here lo mention, that had I lilted the torch ol discord, it would have been reproach ful in me to have left it for others to extinguish. Bit 1 bore no put in producing the present as -11. ling s'ate oflhingS ill South Carolina. 1 left no debts unpaid in that Stale—no morl obl ga tion unca’icelled—no political functions unfin ished—but on the day <>f the election i remain ed it the pulls until the last vote was cum- d and gave my own vote in the election which was to decide, her fate. 1 remained at the polls until ihe las; man voted, who was a criminal brought fiom the public jail by t ie sheriff, who was himself a nullifying candidate- t saw that criminal vote for tho nullifying tick et, and beheld the slier iff conduct him in safety back to his sceiL Upon this I asked myself can the boasted cause of Freedom, of Union . and the constitution need such aid as this ti> sus- . tain her? I asked myself is the fate of £outh Carolina, once the host and pride of her sons to be decided by the suffering of out arid vagabonds dragged from the|publie dungeons to tire polls there to compete wiih freemen 1 ? 1 asked myself, where had that chivalrous spirt . fled, which once gave her so proud a rank in this great republic ? These were the, gloomy reflections cruised my mind, and tinder which I lef. South Carolina—There 1 left my early, my fondest recollections ; and in stead of deserting her soil, Lke some reckless and bankrupt adventurer,| ’> regardless of her fate, -1 left her with a bosom glowing wiih gratitude, the last tribute to a gen erous people, who having cherished me with ■ heir kindness, who had given me more than I j asked, and more than I wanted. And now when 1 look back upon her former days of peace and pi asperity, in which 1 long participated with undiminished delight, my heert sickens at i the thought that she is about to become the tlie ' atre ol anarchy, and fall a prey to the iretizy of i mobs. To my puli’ical'friends and associates in the cause ot' Union, and the legitimate rights of ihe i States. ' ' * Permit me to say, that when 1 left South- Carolina the political functions with which the people of that Stale had honoied me, had all expired. 1 owed the state nothing but mv grat itude and love. Although I was aware that -.lie nullifying leaders would go to any length to augment their numbers and to enhance their powei, still 1 did bo doubt the great body of, [ the people. 1 did not distrust the fidelity of the people towards ‘he government of their I choice, which had blessed us with tratiquility a*. | home, with oe.rce and respect abroid. Believing nai the elections which had just closed, had giv* n them a majority, and that con- j sequendy all the offices in die State would be! lat their disposal, 1 concluded that nullification I would rest there under this belief 1 in.ended to ' retire to my agricultural pursui’s, where my I voice would not have been heard beyond the ' circle of my private friends. So long as 1 te mained with you. and until 1 believed the con- ! test w is ended, 1 spared no pains, no Libor, that was honest, open and authorized, to prostrate that|hidious phantom these circumstances 1 left South Carolina. 1 am sure you will not envy my good fortune in escaping the pains and penalties that aw oied me. and which it is your loi now’ to contend a gainst. These laws—the first enacted under [ the auspices «>f nullification—and which the people were told breathed nothing but peace • ( upon earth, good will and safety to the Union, are blemishes upon the fame of Sou h Carolina and cannot be untarnished by the breath of, Calhoun, M’Duffie, H..yne and Hamilton They will go d »wn to posterity covered wuh more ii.f <my than the hidden decrees of Cali gula, oi tiie bloody laws of Draco. There is not a despot, in chis>enJom who would d:>*e to ■ disfranchise every officer of his governmem, without the form of trial in the same high han ded manner contemplated by the Ordinance of ; the Convention. J can scarce believe th u the people .if your state wiil yet sustain such a frightful despotism. 1 cherish the hope, that 1 civil war is not yet destined to water your j fields wi'h the blood of its unoffending owners. ' Impressed as 1 fully am, that even should South Carolina resort to secession or revolution, the great object of the confederacy might still be maintained. Associated as it is, with out ' eaijiest and fondest recollections the people will rally around their inst imions like the band of Leonidas—as die surest means for preserving the,palladium of Hierr libe.’.es from ihe torch . of for* ign innovation-., -ar.d fiom the petty des | pousm which have sprung up .it home. I have the coefidei.ee io b- la ve that the mass of peo ple in Soudi Carolina wdl hasten to retrace . their steps, whenever they d.s.inctly behold the daring and impious objects for whicn.those fac tious spirits have been aiming, whose minedi- ■ ate interests consists in the public - fll.c’iims. Trusting that the existing troubles of our afflicted state may now be settled w hout the 1 hazard of shedding one drob of human b<ood, 1 cannot but indulge the behef, that in time to come, u hen the cause of these commotions 1 shall be belter tmdersu.od they will firnish to us 1 an instructive less<>n of the capacity of our gov- ■ eminent to wi hsland the trials of adverse as well as piospe ojs circumstances, and how joint our intc. cp ;s tn expanding and perpetual mg these bi •ssitigs.

To the Union Paily in that stale, with whom 1 have so long labored in the public vineyard, I 1 may here be permitted to s«y, that should an unrelenting tyrant drive you to the Lst alterna tive of an oppressed people, in defence of your fiie-sides—that yours, being a holy cause, in defence of the Constitution, of Union, and lib erty, one and invdiisible, is also my cause.

Tiie friends <>f this disiinguisbed writer w.li I be well pleased to he >r fiom ii'niag fin, .mdstil 1 ; more to read the following sketch ofii.s recen' journevings among ihe wild'iib-sbeyond the 1 verge of civilization; and we earnestly hope, tint it will not be long before we have som •- ! thing more than asketch of this interesting tour; ihhotigh we believe he has as yet written nothing upon th< subj-ct for the press. The! . letter before us, it will be perceived, was writ ten ton friend in Europe, during Mi. Irving’s ’ recent sojourn in Washington. Il reaches ns through the medium of the London Athenae um. Washington City, December 18, 1833. I arrived here a few days since, from a tour of several months, which carried me fir to the West, beyond the bounds of civilization. After I wrote to you in August, from, I think, Niagara, I proceed, with mv agreeable fellow- “ travellers, Mr. L. and Mr. P.» to Buffilo, and !we embaiked at Black Rock, on L'ke Erie. ; Onboard of the steam-boat was Mr. E. one of the commissioners appointed by government to superintend the settlement of the emigrant In dian tribes, to the west of the Mississippi. H was on his way to the place of rendi zvous, and on his invitation, we agreed to accompany him in ins expedition. The offer was too tempting .to be resisted: i should have an opportunity ofj seeing die remnants of those great Indian tribes ‘ which are now about to disappear as independ- I ent nations, or to be amalgamated under some new form of Government. I should see those fine countries of the “far west,” wnile still in a state of pristine wilderness, and behold herds of buffdoes scouring their native prairies, before they are driven beyond the reach of a civilized tourist. We, accordingly, traversed tho centre of Ohio, and embaiked in a steam-boat at Cin .cinnatti, for Louisville, in Kentucky. Thence we descended the Ohio River in another sieat.vboat, and ascended the Mississippi to St. Louis. Our voyage was prolonged by re peatedly running aground, iu consequence of ho lowness of the waters, and on the first oc ision we were nearly wrecked and sent to the; mom, by encountering another steam boat • miing with ail the impetus of a high pressure. • igine, and a rapid current. Fortunately we had time to shear a little so as to receive the blow obliquely, Jwhicli cm ried away part of a viieel, and all (he upper works on one side of •■ip boat. From Si. Louis I went to Fort Jefferson, ibout nine m les distant, to see Black Hawk, the Indi in warrior, and his fellow prisoners— a forlorn crew, emaciated and dejected—the redoubtable chieftain himself a meagre old man upwards of seventy. He has, however, a fine head, Roman style of face, and a prepossessing countenance, « « * At St. Louis, we bought horses for our selves, and a covered waggon for our baggage, tents, provisions, and travelled by land to i Independence, a small frontiei hamlet of log | bouses, situated between two and llnee bund ! red miles up the Missouri, on the uuiiust verge i of civilization. * * Frun Independence, we struck across the Indian countiy, along the line of the Indian missions, and arrived, on tho 8 h of October after ten or eleven days tramp, o F■» -t G.bson, a frontier fort in Artikaiisas. Our juurni-y lay 'almost entirely through v is: p' - u’S. oi open grassy plains, diversilL d o r.asiouailv by be >u liful groves, and deeo fertile b iroms along the streams of w tier, W li' e-i in t uniier ind al most Indian s.yle, camping out at nidus, ex cept when wo stopped at the Missionaries, scattered here and there m this v ist wilderness. The weather was s.neu •, i we encountered but one rainy nigre .aari on” ihut><lor storm, and I found sleeping i.i a tent a very sweet an.l hedtuy repose. l< was uiw upwards of three weeks itnce 1 had lofi St. L ’uis and tak en to travelling on horse!) ick, and it agreed ! w<di me admirably. Ou arriving at Fort Gibso i. we found that a in »un’”d body ot Rmgu s, nearly a liun- ■ dre I, had set if two d ivs before iu make a J wide lour lo the west and south, ihe wild bunt ! ing countries; by wiy -f protecting the f: iendly Indians, who hid gone to the buffalo hunting, ' and to overawe die P iwnees. who are ihe wan ‘ ering Arabs of ihe West, and c >niiuu.dly on the j maraud. We determined to proceed on the I track oi this party, escried bv a dozen or j fourieei) horsemen, that we might h ive nothing io apprehend from any srruiglin.” party of ' Pawnees, and with three o; imi Indians as I gm les tn I m e.prete-s, "jcluduig a capiive Pawnee worn in. A c >uule of Cr j k Lid-aos ; wer ; despatched by ilie •ommander of the Fort i to overt ike the pii’iy ot R ingers, and order them to await our coming up with them. We were now ,o Havel sull sunnier and rougher style, taken is little baggage as possible and depending on our huminir for ; u. plies; but were to go through a countiy ibou i.f mg with game. i The finest sport we had hi'heito had, was an incidental wolf hunt, as we were tiaversing a prairie; which was very animated and pictures que. I fell now completely launched in a | savage life, and extremely excited and interest ed by this wild country, and the wild scenes and people by which I was surrounded. Our rangers were expert hunters, being mostly fiom Illinois, Tennessee, &c. We overtook the exploring party of mount ed Rangers in the course of three days, on the banks of the Arkansas, and the whole troop crossed that river on the loth of O< tuber, some on rafis, some fording. Our own iniiin’- diate party had a couple us half breed Indians as servants, who understood the Indian cus toms. I hey constructed a kind ot boat or rah out of a but] do skm, m which Mr. E. and mj self crossed the river md its branches, at several fines, on the top al" about a hundred weigh’ fi ; ggage—an odd mode of crossing a liver n quaiter of a mile wide. We now led a true hunting life, sleeping in ihe open air, and living upon the produce of the rh ice, for we were three hundred miles be i yonri >i imm liabitation, and part of the time, ' in t coumry hitherto unexplored. Wo got to tiie region of buff docs and tvild hoises; killed soma of ihe former, and caught ■ some d the latter. We were, moreover, on the hunting grounds of the Pawnees, the terror of tli. t f. oiiti-H; a race who scour the Praities on 11 et !io r ses, and are like the tartars or rov ing Arabs. We had to set gua’ds round our camp, and tie up our horses for fear of sutprise; but, though we had an occasional alann, we passed through the country without seeing a single Pawnee.— I brought off, however, the tongue ofa buffilo, of my own shoo'ing, as a trophy of my hunting, i and am detei mined to rest my renown as a i hunter, upon that exploit, and never to descend to smaller game. We returned to Fori Gibson, after a campaign ofabout thirty davs, well sea soned by htmtei’s fare and hunter’s life. Fiom Fort Gibson, I was about five days descending ihe Arkansas to the Mississippi, i n a steam-boat, a distance of several hundred , miles; I then continued down ihe latter river to New-Orleans, where I passed some days very pleasantly. J New-Orleans is one of the most tnoicly and amusing places in the United Slates; a mix ture of America and Eur-pe. The French part of the city is a counterpart of some French provincial towns, ami the levee, or esplanade along the river, presents the most whimsical , groups of people of all nations castes, and co lours; French, Spanish, Indian, Half Breeds Creoles, mulattoes, Kentuckians, &c. I passed two days with M. on his sugar plantation, .just at the time when they were making su- From New-Orleans I set off, on the mail s’a ? e, through Mobile, and proceeded on, thiLugh Aabim i, Georgia.

At Columbia, the Capital of South Caroli na, I passed a day most cordially with our friend P. I dined also wiih G. H.j whom I had known in New-Yoik, when a young man, and who is a perfect gentleman, though-some what a Hotspur in politics. It is really la mentable -to see so fine a set of fellows, as tho leading Nullifiers are, so sadly in the wrong. They have just cause of complaint, and'havo been hardly dealt wilh,| but they are putting themselves completed in the wrong, by tho mode they take to redress themselves.—As a j Committee of Congress is now occupied in tho J formation of a bill for the reduction of the Ta , j riff, 1 hope that such a bill may be devised and • I carred, as will satisfy the moderate part oftha • ! Ntdlifiers.
