Weuow|mrsue the subject further, and lay before the people of the .South and West ex- uraets from the speeches of that gentleman, with some few of the votes given by him on the fa mous tariff hill of H23, of which he may in truth he said to ho oue of the principal authors. It will he perceived that we. on this occasion, only give a few samples of what, did our limits permit, could be almost indefinitely extended. Bill for the reduction of the duty on imported salt, in the Semite, February 2, Ids?. “In the course of his remarks in reply to Air. Smith, of SoiiiIi Carolina, Air. Van liureu said, that a duty of 12J cents per budiel had been ini posed by the State of New York, ns oue of the means employed by her tu make those navigable communications between the great western lakes and the Atlantic ocean.” And complained that the General Government had refused to aid the State ill the completion of These works. At the very time of iidikiug this complaint his State derived a reveuuc of $150,- -000. annually, from the duty-on sales at auction, paid principally by the consumers. Mr. Vuu Hu ron further said: “his wcH known that the price of salt depends principally upon the transportation, which, from the very nature of the article, makes it come ve ry high to the consumer in many parts iff the country. He averred, and referred to the Sena tors from Vermont for the correctness of his state ment, that in that State the price of salt to the -consumer hid been reduced more than 50 per ■cent, since the completion of the New-York ca nals, and through their means. The same was the case witli nil the country bordering on lake Champlain, or ou lake Erie, and the lakes farther west, including the State of Ohio, and the same effect, though uot to a* great an extern, was pro duced ill many parts of the Uuiou. _ Such is now ■the case; hut wliat will he the coudition of tilings wlieu the navigable communications which the State of Ohio has, to her high honor undertaken 4-> effect, by her own means, .and which are ra pidly progressing to the accomplishment, are com pleted! why the advantages now enjoyed iu this respfrt by Vermont, will be commou to most, if not all, the western States. Ho pht it therefore, to the justice and candor of the Senate, whether the fact that Now York has for such purposes, and under such circumstances, imposed a duty upon salt, iRauufaciuied in that State, was justcause of complaint to others, or ought to have an ad verse influence upon the question before the Sen ate. He asked whether, after the Federal Gov- -eminent had refused her aid to New York, she ought now by her I.egislnturo to couple that State in the moans ucccssary to her redemption—moans indispensable to the speedy payment of a debt which should ho regarded as sacred by tho whole Union on account of the great cause in which it had been incurred. He requested gentlemen to cousider whether such a course would evince that just regard for tho individual iutcrcsts of the (States, composing the confederacy, which it wns tho true policy of the Federal Government at all 4imcs to manifest, lie humbly hoped that there would bo but one answer to that question. So' far from furnishing an argument iu favor of the bill, if there is reusou to apprehend that the means under consideration would have the tendency lie deprecated, that of itself should constitute un ob jection to its adoption. “Air. Van Huron said, it would give him plea sure to know that there wns uo man to whom bo .could, with greater safety, make this appeal iu behalf of the just rights of tho State he represent ed, than the worthy Senator from South Carolina. The just and liberal sentiments which had through life distinguished the public coarse of that gentle man, was with Mr. Van Bnron a sufficient guar- ■nutee, that his nppcal would at least, meet with 4lie most favorable consideration. Nor could he -deceive himself iu believing that the first and has* •tv impretsions which this circumstance had pro duced, would, upou a moment's reflection, lie re moved, and the question decided iu iu own proper merits. Uc might, he said, enlarge upolT the to mes which had been urged agaiustthe bill. But, 4f the present greatly depressed state of the treas ury, and the other weighty considerations already advanced, were not sufficient to deter gentlemen ■from further experiments u|>on the public reven ue, nothing, that ho could say, would produce that Feb. 5,1827—The question was taken on the passage of the bill, aod in tho following list of yeas ■and nays, Mr. Vau Uureu will be fouud as voting ■ -against iu “Yeas—Messrs Benton,Bibb, Berrien, Brnurli, Chambers, Chandler, Cobh, Eaton, Edwards, Harrison, Hayao, King, Knight, A!aeon, Jl-Kin- ley, Randolph, Reed, Rowan.

The election* are at baud, aud a torrent of crimination mid recrimination upon the subject is deluging the State.

Whilst on the otlicr hand, the subject is closely looked iuio, Kentucky, and the fine wool raised ascertained aud the present, and probably, the future advaii- 1 tages of their own State contrasted with those of] New England, the bill of the last scssiou is called the speculator's bill; and they undertake to show tliat the object of the bill was id pamper the alrea dy overgrown wealth of the eastern manufactu rer. by heaping taxes chiefly upon the poorer class es, who wear the coarser woollens.

Cast yourcyes, said lie, over this good have heretofore remarked, that tlie members of that assembly were not authorized to choose a Vico President, (much less n future president,) for the people. On this essential point, we think that tho worthy editors of the Georgia Journal have not been as we would expect them to he. They say, “The people of Georgia therefore sent delegates to the Baltimore Convention; aud did so with a striking unanimity. We believe that city, look into every coruer of it,- aud let any | although every county in the state concurred in man, if he can, call m uiind tho period when lie the measure, whore any other meeting of thcciti- kuew, or had heard, that it had any thing like zens afforded a convenient opportunity of ex- such prosperity. Go, said he, into tlie coutiUy, look at'ovcry village and every farm, aud say whether the march of impovmueut was any where arrested. ”He knew thill the tree! growers hail not, fur the time being, a good market for their wool; for he had himself two shearings of no inconsider able amount on hand. Ho knew, too, that the fanner* had not ohtaiued good prices for their pro duce, and he could assure them that it should not be auy fault of his if they were not obtained; hut it was nevertheless true, that the attentive obser ver could witness ovory where throughout tho State tin; smiles of prosperity and plenty. Is this, ho asked, a picture of imagination, or is it roali- tv; gratifying, consoling, heart-cheering reality, lie put it to the knowledge aud observation of every man who beard biui, whether there was any thing more certain tbau there is uo spot on God's earth more prosperous aud happy than the State of No w York. If there was a citizen of the State who doubted it, let him travel, nml lie will bo con vinced of his errer, anti if he can il-si're to witness a picture of the reverse, let him past through the Southern States, of which so much has here been said; and if lie did not return satisjied with tlir su perior pros/ievity of his own Slate, he, Mr. If., tcould acknowledge his incapacity la judge in this matter. • “He owed many tkauks to the meeting for the> very kind uttentinus with which he had been lis tened to by gentlemen, between many of whom mid himself, there had upon puldie matter*, lioen differences of opinion of long staudhig. “Hi’s situation in reference to the wool growing interest teas well known to most of them, lit had, III present, invested more than 620,001) in sheep, and farms devoted, and which he meant to dwote, to that business,” Such was the language of Mr. Van Bnren. lie bore witness to tho pros|ierity of New York, nml also to the reverse of the®outliern picture. Yet how did he sell Ho had 820,000 invested in growing wool. How did lie vote! It was dis tinctly understood that unless the bill which had passed tho liouso could lie amended so'as to give an increase of tho duty on articles manufactured of wool, it would have bee projected by tho vote* of the New England Senatws. To save the du ty upon wool, Mr. Vau Buren voted for the pro- position increasing the duties upon wonllcu goods. AVo give a few of the questions on the tariff of 1828, with Air. V. B’s. votes.

On. tho question to agree to the fourth amend ment in the following words: “Section 2, line 10, after •yard,’ strike out tho words, ‘thore shall be levied, collected aud paid, twenty cent* ou every square yard.' aod insert, ‘shall bo deemed to have cost fifty cents the square promise yard, and be charged thereon with a. duty or for- ~ pressing their sentiments, after thu matter wns presented publicly for their consideration; aud not one voice that wc know of was raised m op position." Wo kuow of only three or four coun ties iu which were held meetings that appointed delegates tu this convention: aud we will thank our neighbours, if they will speeify tho counties in wliirh such mcciiugs were hold, and stnte the probable number iff persons who composed those meetings. If it shall appearthat the persons who neted ns our delegates, were chosen by a majority, or hy any large proportion of tho ucoplo, we will promptly acknowledge our error: hut we are con- iideut, that on a revision of the facts our neigh- hors will liinl, that those individuals were authori zed to rcprcH|pt hut a very small fracliou of the citizens of tills state. Tho burden rests on the editors of the Journal, to prove the fact which they affirm: and if the fact exists, the proof is in their power. Wc observe, however, that the language of their statement is not very positive; and ire may, perhaps, have understood their nf- firmiitimi to he stronger than was iiitemlcd hy themselves. Wc arc satisfied, that a very small number of the gentlemen who convened in Baltimore, wore delegated by tlie people whom .they professed to represent: and the fulsc assumption of this high and confidential character, was grossly indelicate aud arbitrary. To such nil assembly, a million of voters (umiot lie expected to yield the right of ehoiisiugthe principle officers of their government: or to debase this noble attribute of freemeu, into a system of humble und passive oliedieuce to un authorized dictation. To permit men high in of fice, to control the great elections of tlie people, is to establish a precedent nuistdaiutcrous to liberty. sh a precedent most dangerous There i* another ground ou which wo earnestly protest against the proceedings of the convention: and this is, the want of reciprocity among its members. The individuals w ho acted as dele gates from Vermont, .Massachusetts, Rhode Is land, Connecticut, New Jersey, Delaware, Louisi ana, and Ohio, brought no slake with them; they had nothing to give, und every thiug to Receive; they are in minorities in those States, and cannot bring a single electoral vote, to aid Hie ennimob cause. Tho entire electoral vote of those states, which they professed to represent, will he given to Clay and Scrgcnut. On the system which thu Baltimore meeting adopted, those States gave in convention, seveuty-seveu votes; aud Blaine, N. Hampshire, Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia, Alabama aud Mississippi, in convention, gave precisely the same number: while in the electoral vote, that by which tho Vice President will be made, the latter named atates will give seventy- seven votes to tho Jackson ticket, and the former will give seventy-seven votes against it. It np. peart to us to have been very absurd, to estimate the strength, of Van Buren by votes which w ill be given to bis opponent. We can recognize no com promise which rests on calculations to noiust. so unjust. On the principle adopted by the convention,i uiiuurilj iu MaaslivliiucLS, wiiuiti unftuut gi'e a single vote in making a \ ice President, has more 'influence in determining how tho eleven vote* iff Georgia shall he given, titan slw has herself: lor iu the convention, t-.e Massachusetts minority counted fourteen (as if that minority had fourlecif electoral votes to give;) w hile Georgia counted only eleven. This L utterly unequal and unjust in principle; and iu the compromise based on this principle of calculation. Van Bureu received seventy-seven voles more lhau he can obtain iu the electoral colleges III estimating Ids strength as a candidate, these seventy-seven votes should he deducted. In the convention, A’.iu Buren received from individuals acting as delegates from I’cnnsylva ilia, and North Carolina, thirty-i.inc votes: while it is now almost certain, that he will not receive a single vote iu the electoral college ol either o( these states. We think it well ascertained, that a majority of the people of those two states prefer sonic other enudidate; aud that they will uot submit to the choice made (or them hy the convention. These thirty-nine votes are a mockery of the sentiments of those two states. Iu ascertaining what is tho choice of Pennsylva nia, shall wc inquire, tvhat are the opiuiim* of a few men convened at Baltimore! Or shall we consult the population of that powerful state, at their humus! If we wish to act iu concert with Pennsylvania, shall we unite with an overwhel ming majority of her citizens! Or shall we en ter into a compromise with a few individuals w ho misrepresent her abroad!—In estimating the o- piuions of the Jacksou party, these thirty nine votes also should lie deducted from the number given to Van Buren; mid then how docs lie stand! Ho is loft with ninety-two votes. To make up this sum of ninety-two, it is acces sary to count tlie votes of several states, in w liic-ii il is doubtful itlicthcr he will be supported. The eleven votes of Georgia are counted for him. The vote of this state may lie considered as doubtful: and we believe that il will not be given to Van Buren. At this momeutous crisis, will Georgia how the knee to the man, who, hy his fortunate position, controlling the state of New A'ork, di rected the gigantic, the decisive vote of that statu, in establishing the unjust and odious system! Is it possible thut lie cun obtain a siugle unbiassed vote from the South? Wo know’ the wonderful adroitness of Van Buren, and Ins partisans, iu managiug the selfish passions of mankind. The couveiitioii at Baltimore was composed of men of most variant and conflicting sentiments. What was the secret, hut powerful principle, that per vaded this heterogenous mass; that hound its dis cordant cietueuts to their common centre? What, but a secret uuderstuudiUg lor distributing the of fices of the government, among themselves or their friends? But wc trust tiiat tlie people of the South will uot suffer themselves to bu led hliud-fold; that they will uot themselves aid in sacrificing tlicir grunt interest, iu order to procure offices for a few selfish men; that they will he true to themselves, and to their country; that they will select some, pure patriot, to whose in tegrity they may safely confide' the maintenance of their principles, and thu preservation of their interests. Such a man is Philip P. Barbour. The Baltimore convention itself avowed, that an agreemeut of the two thirds iu their choice, was uecessary to the union which they attempt ed to prcducc: aud Vuu Bureu is v c-ry far feu in being the choice of tlie two-thirds of the efficient members of tlie Jacksou party. It appears to us to lie impossible that they can unite on him; because a large proportion of that party believe, that he has been oue of the chief pillars of the ta riff; aud that he is a political adventurer, who has ever been ready to sacrifice every interest and every principle, for his own advancement. He is supported by many active aud talented men; but ivis name should uot he associated witli that of Andrew Jackson, the venerable patriot, whom tho people delight to honor; for ho has no moral strcugtli, and can -never wiu the confidence of those who are now opposed to him. They feel a deep distrust, which uo professions, no promises, no specious nppcnraiiccs, will remove. In op- posing Vuu Burnt, we oppose not the union mid concert of tlie party. His name is tho brand of discord: let it he withdrawn, nmln vast majority of thu votes of the party will be given to 1‘hilip 1*. Barbour, a patriot without reproach.—I'eJeral Union.
