I am, also, warmly opposed to the sys tem of Internal Improvement hy the General Government—tlie wasteful ex penditure of public mon'y consequent upon it, and the demoralising influence upon the Legislation of Congress which has heenqmidaced by the eager scramble after appropriations for the different sec tions of the Union. Sustain my draft upon the public treasury and I will sus tain yours—vole for the appropriation to clear out my river or erect a break water in my harbour, and I will do you a simi lar favor. Such is too frequently the con duct ifnotthelnngungeofourCongfrssmen. works of Internal Improvements; my views upon this subject are easily dedu- oihte from the opinions which I have ex- s'Juttlo tuersmry to carry out t he granted of protection, uml similar facts could be ■towers. But unfortunately this provis- adduced to illuslnate its influence on all inn of the Constitution, by the ingenuity iothers.

Permit me to the mailer. Congress has power to lay and collect duties for die purpose of pay ing the debts and providing for the com mon defence, and general welfare of die Union. It cannot legally and constitu tionally colled duties for any other pur lins" whatever—Anil hence the Tariff ctr.- trorcrsij. Our op|v>nents say that Coii- nf all articles required as compared with what they would have lo pay lor them ill this country. The effect of the tariff dirn upon the shining interest is to enhance the price of all articles necessary to carry it on, and nl the same time by prohibitory duties to lesson importations, and thus les son its profits. So also could I illustrate oress having the power lo lav and collect |''»c operation and effect of the tariff policy Julies, mav raise those d'ulies lo any U P°" '•» tfincultun.l and other interests |«iint, however high, for the pnrposeof giving protection to the manufacturing in terests ol the country. We say dial du ties can only be laid and collected for the purpose of revenue, nnd point to the Constitution to sustain the assertion.— The expediency or inexpediency of pro- iccting'munufnrtures by Government aid j is not now the question. I am. at pres- iont, considering the constitutional Legis lative enactment. Now this whole quo* of the country, if the character of this ad' dress would admit of these minute details. In connection with the idea of protecting American labor (it should be manufactur ing labor) thu friends of the protective sys tem ask high duties upon British products as an art of retaliation because England imposes high duties on our’ngricultural ox- pnrls. Of what force is this argument now, when England is iiImiuI to repeal her c orn laws, ami throw her ports open GENERAL EDUCATION. THE CHARACTER OF THE PEO PLE TO BE EDUCATED. Messrs. Editors:—You have announced in terms tuOicienily flattering, that I would prepare for your readers a series of short cssayson General Education. I am aware tion; and not the war-pride of tins clast of politician*—the territorial cupidity of that, or tho pecuniary recklessness of the other; these are but means in turn for the greater end—God’s world for God's people. Now, if these be the propensities and tendencies of our people—if they are no longer the serfs of the soil, but are destined to love the wide world, nnd to dissipate ilia that every system looses half of its charms prejudices of a gone-by age;—what is the that is exposed to the public eve, and not Education suited to them 1 It is a great always that its imperfections are brought ueslion, and its answer roust be fully and. to light; but if fully approved, the excite ment which it produces wears away, and the labor cf rendering it into practice it from this cause found infinitely holder. 1 am convinced of one fact however, that a syslemof General Education we must have, and whether iu its progress it be toilsome or not, ic a question for consideration only when it is accomplished. That 1 ain com petent to introduce this great subject to the attention of tbe public, it another point that I shall leave to be decided when 1 have completed my task: at all events it is within the compass of my individual capacity, and if l fail, the discredit will fall upon myself alone. There is a paramount reason with me though, for making public a system which looks to practical results. It is this: I propose to educate the chil dren of a Republic upon certain fixed prin ciples. Now we know that education es tablishes opinion—opinion gives laws, and laws form the morals and habits of a peo ple. Is it not fit and proper then^lhai all questions touching education should be publicly discussed—maturely deliberated on, nnd only settled when the public mind has fully satisfied itself of the intrinsic merit of'the system proposed 1 At least, this is my opinion, and I .not only submit my views lo my fellow ciiixcns, but court the closest scrutiny into them. Having introduced my *ubject with thc»e nece*» sarv remarks, I now will go on gentlemen, lo cousidcr it under nil the various aspects that it can possibly take. And allow me first, lo inquire into the character of our people—the parties to be taught. What are its tendencies—what are its propensities?—Determine these, and we have laid the foundation of a system of General Education. Our political manhood gives us seventy years; our presen', extern of territory two millions of square mikes, (#,000,000) and our population twenty millions of souls, (20,000,000.)' Our age, geographic range, und numerical strength, are enough then to base our inquiry upon. . And yel. so far would add, that there nre works oflnler- nal Improvement, embracing great nation al objects, or national defence, which may l»e undertaken by Congress. So, also, if obstructions are placed in a harbor by an enemy, or as a means of defence in time of war, I should regard the Constitutional right of Congress lo remove the same, as unquestionable. Economy, retrenchment and reform nre greatly needed in the man agement of our affairs, ami particularly in the expenditures of Congress. Few men in this country know of the enormous sums expended hy Congress in the pay mileage and stationary of its members, and the valuable hooks nnd documents which they yearly vote to themselves out of the people’s money. Upon the subject ofa Bank I have but little to say. That seems now to be an obso lete idea, and the experience of the last few years, has satisfied almost every one that a Bank is not only unnecessary anti inexpedient, hut would be absolutely in jurious to the country. No politician now who values his reputation, would pretend lo assert thnt exchanges could he . v _. r . . regulated by a Bank, nnd that was one of a , ||, e subjecllias attracted the attention of the grand arguments once advanced by tho wise uinong us, we find but little pro- ils advocates. But the tiny is pust, nnd gross mutle. One class of our politicians I sincerely trust that never again will a rates us asn belllgeiaul people, nud^hren Eroin the Hosannah Georgian.

'I- ^(^v; cal excitement, party tnx, or duty if you please) from the stock- Equally fallacious is the assertion that the Protective Tariff lienefits the Agri culturist by opening a home market for the proceeds of his labor. It is very cer tain that tho Manufacturers are in favor of n Protective Tariff, anil who is so cred ulous ns to believe that they would sus tain a system which wascalculaled to en hance the prices of those articles that they nre forced to buy. The price of a tiling (ifunfettered by taxation) is regula- trd by the product nnd the demand, nnd is it possible that the comparatively small amount of Agricultural products consum ed hy the Manufacturers, can have any eflcc’l to increase their value—clearly not. But, admit, for the take of argument, that the home market does benefit the chartered money power lord it over the country. It is proper that I should say n word upon another subject. I allude to a system of direct taxation. And here I may fear lessly and broadly assert that no parly in this country has ever advocated or branch ed such doctrine. I am aware that in the contest of 1S44. it was asserted that if the Democratic Pnrty were suscessful, they would impose direct taxes ttnoti the people, and I have seen n hand bill in which was set down in large figures the amount which each County ond each man would have to pay. My only reply t > all this, is, let facts speaker them selves. Has any such thing been done or proposed ? Thus Fellow-Citizens, have I given you (as fully as the nature of this Address will allow) the political sentiments which 1 entertain, nnd by which 1 shall !>e governed. If they are the sentiments of the people. I ask the people’s support, that they may be truthfully and practi cally represented: but if they entertain other opinions, then for anotlicr should their votes be cast. I am well aware that in times of higll political excitement, most ol us are too apt to vote for our Par ty Candidate, without examining cither into his conduct or opinions. Bui there is now, as has already been observed, a calm in tbe political world, and it is righl cut ns with the fate of the Roman Empire excessive conquest. A second terms us _ grasping, coveluous people, who will never be satisfied until we extend our terri torial limits to such a degree, that our po litical bonds will fall assunder, and our so cial affections become entirely dissipated. A third class fears that our national ex- trevaganco will bankrupt us, and that we will be left without capital commerce or mercantile energy; and in the end will fall from on enterprising nnd enlightened peo ple, into an imbecile and degraded one. ilul what says the nation to these opinions —Ihe tide and current of public net ion 1— Will we conquer so fast as to leave no ene mies to fight against; and thus falsify tne first class?—Shall we make rail-roads, canals and telegraphic communications so rapidly, as to run tne whole seven millions square miles, (7,000,000) of North Ameri ca into a smaller political compass than that occupied by the Stales of the early confederacy ; and thus disappoint the sec ... , . .

I believe that ail power emanates from tbe people, nnd should be exrrcisetl fin tbe peoples’ welfare; that Governments are instituted for the benefit of the many, and that no Government should exist longer than it sobserves this end. Such are tbe general, cardinal points of my po- S I rical faith and from them I can always | educe my rule of action.

But 1 am also oppos ed to the tariff, because it is “uojust, un equal nnd oppressive.” What is the prin ciple which is sustained by those who advocate protection ? They say that.la- Imr is cheaper in Europe than America, and hence goods can he manufactured there at n eheoper rate, and to enable the manufactures to counteract tbe efli-cts or this cheap labor, they ask Congress to put such n tnx or duty on the foreign article as will raise it to n price, at which they can afford to manufacture nmf sell. Or in other words, the English manufatturerwho paya his workmen shoot thirty cents a day, can afford lo make a yard of calico or course homespun nt three cents, which article can not be made and sold by the American manufacturer at leas than six pen ile nre taxed on nil the necessaries of He, to afford protection to five hundred thousand. And these priviliged few say In the many, do not grumble nt these tax? es fiirwe give yon a home market—yes of the millions which they take from us, they kindly remm a few’ hundred tliou- santl. The relative effect of the Tariff upon Agriculture and Manufactures, is fully illustrated by the respective profits of the two vocation*' The Farmer does not average (throughout the Union) six per cent of profit, whilst the average prof its of the Manufacturing interests are more than double and probably are three times greater. • But, it is said, that high duties mate eheao goods.

Chambers, who, seems, was the “brother in arms” of the writer. Chambers joined the Army, at Corpus Chrisli, and went with Captain. Walker’s Texas Rangers to the Rio Grande. On the first of May, when Waller made the desperate attempt to cut his way through to Tnylor’s camp for l he purpose ofopeningtlie communication, Chambers was one ol the few men who went with him. In the encounter with the Mexicans they lost all hut fifteen men. Chambers had a horse shot under him. Ho captured unotber from n Mexicans, which shared the same fate as the first, and was tbe last man that returned to camp. Chambers did not admire the discretion of Cupt. W. as much as he did his cojrage, nnd applied to Cupt. Muy for a place in bis company in the expect ed battles on the Sih and 9lh. The ap plication was granted, and C. was tbe second man tlint crossed the Mexican hat-. terv in the charge. He wus found after the battle, lying under his horse by the side of one of the Mexican pirces, with Iris shoulder dislocated and much bruised, and entirely insensible. He was remov ed from the field, and bos since recovered from his injuries. The writet of the let ter says his comrades have given him the ' name of the “ Hero of Delaware.” Some of those who observed his conduct during the battle, say he fought ns if he intended with his single arm to put to flight tho whole Mexican army. With his stihre in one hand, he assaulted the men iu charge ol the buttery, and with the other lie dis charged his pistols in their faces. Tbrco bayonet wounds through the body, which he received, show how desperate the con test was, and how gullautly he stood his ground. The lather ol this young hero was named Isaac Chambers. He resided. the State of Delaware, and lias also lived in Philadelphia. His mother lives at presert in Wilmington, it is believed, and the object of the utter is to Acquaint the latter of her son’s safety.—Philadel phia Ledger. THE SANTA FK EXPEDITON. There is some prospect that Col. Kear ney will yet have something lo do before he gets possession of New Mexico. The St. Louis Republic of tbe 3d iust., says: Gov. Urrea, who, it is said is advancing upon Santa Fe, with a force of from 3 to 5,000 men, with a view of defending that section of tbe Republic o( Mexico from invasion, is said to be n man of approved ond class or more probatile still, shall courage and military capacity. ' Should one single valley of the great centre; now ^ mi jk e hi» appearance there iu time to no longer of “the Great West,” produce so l: .<• . ■ . •- avail himself ol the best point to repel in vasion as be doubtless bas done, he may give the force under the command of Col.

Kenrney into that De partment of the Republic. It will be, we suppose, the middle or latter end of An? i iust before Col. Kearney can truss , tbe flio del Norte, and Gen. Urren, has un questionably, full time to prepare for his reception. The prospect of resistance only gives tn the expedition n little more? interest, and all eyes will be henceforth on the watch for news from that quarter.” STEAMERS FOR THE RIO GRANDE.
