This has been strik ingly exemplified by-this establishment of it grand jiiotsi'in system, embracing aT! tho voluutet-rs aud Inilida who served six months during th- 1 revollt- fimi.ire war, without any regard to their pecuni ary circumstances, and involving the annual ex penditure of several millions of dollars; by new hud extravagant appropriations for internal im provements of a local uature, to an extent alto gether without example; by mi attempt, success ful in one branch of the legislature, mid evidently destined-to anercud in both, to distribute annual ly arnoug tlia States three millions of the public revenue; and, finally, by mi aggregate increase of the appropriations of tho present session be yond the ordinary expenditures of the govern ment of not less than five millions nf dollars- No one can witness the proceedings of Congress ou these appropriations, without perceiving indica tions not to be mistaken, that tho Federal (fov- vrnmcnl lias degenerated into n mere political yngiiie for regulating tho labor amt distributing the wealth of the country, upon the most arbitra ry principles, and by levying the most oppressive exactions on uue portion of the Union, to be be stowed iu prolific bounties on another.

Tho Committee bating hueu appointed, retired for a short tirno, and ou their return, through their Chairman, Judge ColcocK, repor ted au Address and sundry Resolutions, which wore unanimously adopted. At this stage of tho proceedings, a Committee was appointed to invito tho attendant" of General U.vrvc, who, liaviug complied with the invitation, delivered u speech in which, tnlrabile dicta, he is snid to have demon strated, "that the now Tariff is actually more op pressive than die last!" Tho "AJJrcss" reiterates tbo mis-statements, in relation to tho new Tariff, which have already been circulated by every Nullification press throughout the State, nnd conelndes with the fol lowing mysterious allusion to the “rightful reme dy.” “What then remains lobe done/ Turn from -those misguided rulers, and rely ou yourselves aud on your God! Resort to that priueiple of self-protection which IIo implanted iu the broait of man, aud which has beat incorporated into all W.Uwiand compacts by which, we have consent ed to ho governed.” If this ho intonded to allude to tbo natural rizht to resist oppression—n right paramount to oil laws mid couiiilutions—in fine, the right of revolution—it is iutelhgihle euough. But we must confess ourselves at a loss to con ceive how the spirit of Nullification, if tiiat be meant, can be said to have been implanted by the Almighty in the breu.it of man.

THE NEW TARIFF LAW', Occupies a large space iu our paper today.— Wo have thought it not unacceptable to our rea der-, to note the principal poiuts of difference be tween this, aud the Tariff nets now in operation. It will lie perceived that the new act goes into ef fect on the TI of March next, and that provision is mail*-, that auy original packages of merchan dise imported before the 2d of March and remain ing under the Custom House control ou that day, shall pay only the reduced duties, and shall bo en titled to the repayment of sums exceeding the new rates, which may have been previously paid on them. Notwithstanding the care of die Senate in cor recting the grammatical construction of the Bill as it came from the Houso of Representatives, it ~;i!l be remarked that somo gross bluuders still Nt. The sixth clause of the woollens section tiuuea to direct the duties to be stored instead Of the MKucHAtcDize, which tite draughtsman probably intended. By the present (old) tariff Wool pays a specif ic duty of 4 cents per pound, in addition to an ad valorem duty of 50 per tint. By the new Tariff, mol costing ondor eight cents a pound is free of duty; over eight cents it is to pay a specific duty of four cents and forty per cent ad valorem. Ou Woollens the prcscut minimum system isa-- bolishcd. Uuder the new taw, plains costing 35 cents, pay five per cent or less than two cents a yard; under the old duty they came under the 50 ceut minimum and paid 45 percent or 224 cents a yard. Plains under 3.'!} cents, pay by the present (old) tariff 14 cents per yard; under the now, 5 per ccuud valorem, or not exceeding It cents. ' Under the present (old) tariff woolleus aro rated under a complicated systom of miuiraums which make it tedious to form a complete comparison. The following table will show the alteration made on all gauds costing between $1 and $2 and 50 cents tlia yard.

Extracts of a Utter from Lieut. Commandant Ben jamin Paste, Jr., dated “United States schooner Boxer, off Cape Mensurado, Oih April, 1832," addressed to the Secretary of the Nary: I havo the honor to inform you by the brig Be- thia, of our safe arrival at this place on tbe 6th instant. After getting sounding, wo stood in for Cape Mount. About that point we could tee nothing of any vessel of n suspicions appearance, or an swering the description we had of Rayman's Bit- S utliine, which vessel you informed mo took and ttsiroycd the Colony schooner commanded by Captain Thompson, of whom I learn, siuco my arrival, no satisfactory information has been ob tained. It isfjbowover. reported, and tbo report is believed, that ho has boon taken to Cuba, where tbo brigantine is saici to Leiong, tncrely to keep hint but of the way as long as possible, as he is foptosented as a vigilant officer, aud well known and dreaded along tbe coast by such as Raymau who has, it is believed, taken his departure; the French aud English cruisers (seven in-number) being very vigilaut. • As you directed, I have furnished the Colnnif wph what wc could spare of tho articles we had on board, which they stood in need of. For your liberal Instructions' "to nie on this head, the Go vernor requests me to tender you, in (lie name of thocolnuy, his grateful acknowledgments. We have received from them all that attention and kiurtni-si for which they have been given credit by preceding visiters. They have been lately called to act in the field, against a combination of the Dey nnd Gurrnbs kings. It seems that some of the slaves of these kings, when about to be sold to the Spaniards at Guiiiinas, rail away and took shelter amongst the recaptured Africans who 'are settled about two miles from Caldwell, on the Stockton river; and that a son of King lirumley wag sent down to demaud them at Monrovia; but the Governor could not treat with him with any safety, as from his geueral character, his state ments could uot be depended upon; he was, how ever, told, that if the King Diiuself would visit the colony, ho would find no obstacle to a fair adjust ment. On tho return of tlie young man, King Brum- ley suddeuly died, aud his successor commenced aggressions without delay, by seizing our .colon ists, depriving theip of their property aud eveu liberty,-aud cruelly wounded some of the recap tured Africans, at the $atne tune making hostile movomouts towards the upper colonies, Caldwell aud Miilsburg. - Upon remonstrance .being made nt their pro ceeding, they tore up the letters, aud declared that if the colonists did not meet them ill the field, in three days, they would destroy the upper settle ments, viz: Caldwell, -about N. N. E. distant 9 miles, mid Miilsburg, N. E, by E. distant about 24 miles from Monrovia. In lids serious state of things, part of tlie forces of the colony were inarched to Brumley’s Town. It was found that the natives had left that place, aud had assembled nt a fortified town about ten miles further inlaud. Towards this place the co lonists marched, armed with muskets and a field piece. Ou their arrival they had a battle which resulted iu the capture of tho town. One colo nist was killed, Janies Thompson, and three wounded, one severely snd two slightly. It is said, fifteen of the natives were killed, aud a num ber wounded. After their flight they sent mes sengers to sue for peace. Ou receiving assurance that they would bo treated with on equitable terms, the kings came down, and havo entered into a treaty highly ad vantageous to the colonists. Thus peace and tranquillity have been entirely restored. Trade is again resuming its usual course. Another deputation has arrived since we have been here, proposing a junction, in addition to the kingdoms of the Muniba and Queah counties al ready in connection with tbe colony.—And tbe Boatswain, the mosl powerful and intelligent of the kings of this section of Western Africa, still remains as ho has ever beeu, their firm and effi cient friend; having declared that if the Dey Kings ever trespass again, ho himself would nttcud to the task of putting thorn in order. A trading caravan from his country is now here, bosides the Queah deputation. There are six vessels lying in the harbor, and arrangements aro making to establish another set tlement at Capo Mount, so that every thing looks encouraging. Botwoon that capo aud this place, qjl along the sea shore, many inoffensive old men, women and weakly persons, belonging to tho diQ- crcnt inland kingdoms, aro living in thick settle ments snd are engaged in making salt, which is carried inland, about 125 milos by them and ex changed for ivory and other produce, which brings them at tho colnuy, at the rate of one dollar for every ga'lon of salt. I mention this in order to point out nn error, which has been fallen into by somo, in supposing that salt is a good article of commerce here. This is not tho case, as foreign sail has been offered and rejected at 40 cents per bushel. Tho Liverpool traders sometimes take it as bnllast, aud carry it down to leeward, to the river Camcroons. But uo other than native salt, is encouraged hy the iuterior natives, hereabouts, ns they are jealous of encroachments upon this means of livelihood for their old and weakly. This subject is somewhat connected with tho commerco of this country; concerning tho condi tion and prospects of which, you have directed me to report particularly. It is not as extensivo ns that of the coast at largo, os all vessels passing hy do not anchor, hut still it is in a flourisbingatate. I havo conversed with the most intelligent, and have taken some time to look round for myself. When I say it is in a thriving stato, I do not wish to be understood to mean that it is now or ever can he in such a state, independent of au indus- of emigrating to tiio tinited Stats* H sail from Blackwall at the end^f * L ‘f week, with about 300. 01 lll “ pri lion* witicb havo been put abroad by some, ex pect success by jmy other means than those of industry, perscveranco, and sobriety, certainly sink; and unless assisted by charity, until they get into tbo performance of their proper work, would finally starve.

The number of colonists is now about twenty- seven hundred, among which there are four or five merchants of note. I havo inquired a* to the state of health of the Colony. The report has been favorable, and I am credibly informed that Doctor Todson, the re sident physician at Caldwell, loses hardly iu tbe proportiou of four out of every hundred of those who are taken with the country fever, through which ordeal all have sooner or later to pass. I have visited both tlie day and Sahhath schools, nnd was pleased with the appearance of things; several of the children did themselves much credit. With nil the advauingesthat have been enume rated; it would be natural to expect to hear of the general couteutmeut of the inhabitants, and so far as my personal observation has gone, I have in deed found this to bo tlie case. There have been some exceptions; hut they are found amongst characters who will be dissatisfied in any situa tion. Here, as well as elsowhere, the content ment of the inhabitants may be measured by their morality, industry, aud sobriety. As there docs not appear to be nny necessity f..r our remaining longer at the Cape; aud as wo have taken a look off Cape Mount, wo shall as soon ns we have filled up our water pass down the coast, probably as far as Cape Palmas, aud then stretch over to the westward with the south east trades, towards the North Coast of Brazil, according to your orders. trious and persevering ye There appears tolio oomanrv. appears to bo soveral kinds of soil in this vicinity. To the southwest of the town^closc by. there is a largo tract of cxcclleut coffee land, the wild produce of which has beon esteemed for iu flavor as highly as that of tho Java coffee. Cultivation will somewhat improve it, nnd a sin gle individual is now setting out a plantation of twenty thousand coffoe trees, which is expected to ho completed by May. Another quality of soil is that of Bushrod Isl and; which, I understand, is very similar in its lo cation aud formation to those lands on the coast of Georgia, where Sea Island cottou is raised.— And another to the north aud east of tlio Island is a largo and rich tract of soil, suitable for raising sugar cane, rico, indigo, Indinn corn and tobacco. These locations are close around the settlement, and this, 1 am informed, is the general quality of the soil of all this section of tho wostern coast, n little removod from the sea. When it is taken into consideration, that such valuable articles of trade, ns have been enumerat ed, can be cultivated at nn expense of about five bars or one dollar and fifty cents n month;—(five cents per day)—and sufficient- rice far tho daily subsistence of each uativo employed—that these natives do not work like other slnves, hut ore strong laborious people, who might bo brought out of their habit of giving up labor after the farm ing season is over, and employing their time iu sinking ana dancing—and tnai these articles are in demand in our country, and in Europe—there can bo but one inference drawn, and that is, that is, that in proportion as an indnstrions farming interest is established, which is disposed for agri culture and its peaceful pursuits, the commerco of the colony will flourish and keep pace with its exertion■- \ - • There*are soveral enterprising merchants here. But at present they can do all, and oven more than tbe business nf the colony; as they attend to some commission business for houses both in Europe aud the United Stales. It is not however, a fa vorable spot for small storekeepers and wandering pedlars, who, 1 am told, generally become stript nf what they may have got; and in wandering a- hont in tlie intenor for small traffic, disgust tite natives by thoir immoralities, and thus create dif ficulties anJ disturbances, which have sometimes resulted iu tneir imprisonment and n demand of ransom mouey. It is now pretty well understood here, that in goneral such persons only live aud thrive as tfro willing to settle down on a farm, there to enjoy the fruit of their labor, and to dis pose of tho surplus to those very few traders who are ncccicxry for the present state of things.— And all thoso who, deceived by tho Ethiopian no- Mntements of the Army—Maj. General Scott arrived at Chicago on tho 10th inst. At the ear nest request of tlie Captain of the steam boat Sheldon Thompson, aud in consequence of tlie extreme heat of the weather, he lauded two of the six companies from Fort Monroe, at Fort Gratiot, to he taken up by either the Superior or the William Penn. Before his arrival at Macki naw, four cases, resembling cholera, occured on board tho Thompson. The four men were pla ced in the Hospital on that Island, aud the troops re embarked on tho moruing ef the 26th, all well. At day-light, six cases of cholera were reported, and iu tho course of tho twenty-four hours, thirteen or fourteen others wore seized; nnd down to the oveuing of the 11th, seventy-seven were attacked, aud nineteen died. Two new cases occurred, and six enlisted men died during tho night. Tho troops were landed at Fort Dcarhom on the moruing of the 11th. Most of the inhabitants of Chicago nad fled, and it was difficult to obtain au express. Although the cases havo been com • parativcly fewer since they were landed, and comfortably lodged, yet there were uot, arnoug the four companies of artillery more well men tlmu were absolutely wanted to attend tile sick and bury the dead. Major Whistler, with two companies, marched out of Fort Dearborn to the distance of two miles, to mako room nnd avoid tho infection. It was General Scott's intentiou, if tlie coutin ucd prevalence of diseasq render it impossible to march with nn effective force, to proceed alouo to General Atkinson's Cauip, which on the 9th, was onWIiito water crcck, 55 miles from Fort Win nebago. Gen. Atkinson had with iiim 450 regular troops, and about 2100 mounted voluntoers. Tho ene my were 12 miles distant from him, about 8U0 strong. The country,_ in many places was im passable, and much time had been necessarily consumed by throwing bridges over streams, tie. No sickness is reported to nave occurred among the troops under his command. Of the officers with Gen. Scott, Capt. Galt, Lioutenauts Thornton, Maynndicr and M'Duffic were seized with the cholera, but were better at last dates.—Capt. James Monroe escaped with a slight attack whilo on the passage. In addition to these facts from official commu nications wo stato another, on tbo authority of a private letter, which demonstrates tho value of temperance, os a preventive.
