‘" nr)o cfi,ort3 Ijo revive the almost feelings
of hostility against the TarifF. Yet we think the
arguments which they draw from assumed facts,
are altogether fallacious; but what is more unfor
tunate for them, the facts themselves, which they
adduce; are altogether imaginary. They copy
an article from the Boston Gazet'.e, stating that
ths price of (.arpeting Ins been increased from
65 so 100 per cent, in consequence of the Tariff
Tilts is not so. The price of British manufactured
Carpeting never sold for less ip this than
it does at the. present time We have conversed
w ith a gentleman who his been in of
dealing extensively in the article lor thcjlast ten
years. lie assures us, that the
increase ol duties, Ire can now import that, article
cheaper than b’ f >re the passage of the Tariff act,
and can consequently sel.l for loss’: Thi'amount
of duty, therefore, is not taken oufof the pockets
of the consumers, but is deducted from the profits
of the manufacturer. The British manufacturer
is. compelled to send the article to market as low
as formerly, else ho would be unde bid, by the
manufacturers of this country. Tepefied this, he
reduces the, wages of his operatives, is con
tent with a less interest on his capital. But the
Boston Gezclte says, that were it not for the
Tariff, superfine carpeting, which now sells for
$1 12to 1 15, could be purchased,.for 83 cents
pet yard. llow is this ascertained# carpet
ing of that description sell for S3 cents previous
to the passage of the Tariff? Not at all. The
pi ice since 18-2 has ranged from 1 sis) to 1 25, and
is now less. \V ground, then, is there for the
assert ion, that t would sell for 83 Gents without
A Tariff r I here is none. MJhen the Tariff was
imposed, its opponents asserted, that it would
raise the price by so much as the amount of the
duly. Its fiieiidj contended,that duineslic com
petition, by throwing a greater quantity of goods
in the market, would have the effect of keeping
down the niioe. What has been t/Jie result?—
Why the pripg has been kept down* and experi- j
mice, the great test of truth, has shown, that its ‘
friends fully understobd the nature'of its opera- |
tion; while its opponents have teen mistaken in
all their calculations.
Bat while time has shown the futility of many
of the objections to the tariff, it also shown i
the nature of the opposition to it.. If previous to
she tariff a yard of carpeting sold for 125, and if
since the tariff, qltho’ taxed with tlie additional
expense of 40 cents duty, it sells for the same,-it I
follows that the tariff must |>e a grievous burden ‘
on the British capitalist, manufacturer : where- i
ever, therefore, we find British capitalist!!, con
nected m business with British manufacturers, we I
spall find thjjin exclaiming against the tariff. It
is they who arc taxed 35 or 100 £cr cent, for the
bepefit of the manufacturers of this country. It
is a terrible thing no doubt; but every govern*
meet ipust legislate for themselves. But the peo
ple oi this Qouqtry, the consumers, what havo
they to complain of? They get their goods on the
same terms as formerly; and if the profits of the
business are thrown into the pockets of our own
country man, instead cf the coolers of foreigners,
need they feel aggrieved.

Letter to the Editor of the U. States Gazette.
Washington, Jane 5.
‘ Gentlemen.— The President a few days
since, appointed Mr. Meehan, a printer,
employed in the office of the Telegraph,
to be librarian to congress, in the room of
Mr. W atterston. Mr. Meehan and his
clerk, a person who hid been for sor v ie
time in tiie city, looking out for an office,
an 1 had latterly obtained quarters in the
President’s house, presented themselves at
the library to take possession, when they
were unexpectedly met by an opposition
not usual, and which it has been as yet,
found impossible tp surmount. The law,
under which the librarian is appointed pro
vides ihat the bonds of the individual ap
pointed shafl be approved by the vice pre
sident and speaker of the house of repre- ■
scnlatives for the time being. Air. Wat
terston, considering that by permitting a
stranger to take possession cf the office,
while his bonds were in force, he should !
render his sureties liable for any miscon*
duct which might subsequently occur, de
clined to yield obedience s o the order lor
his removal, until bis bonds should bo de
liverer! up. Directions \vere then sent
from the President to Air Lowrv to give
up the bonds of Air. Watterston, but here
mother difficulty arose. The bonds hav
ing been placed by the presiding officers of
the two houses in the hands of Mr. Lowry
thesecretaiy of the senate, for safe keep
ing, he did not consider himself as at liber
ty to surrender them, except to the aiftho
lily from which he had received them. And
thus the matter stands at present. Mr. YVat
terston keeps the library locked up, and
the utw librarian contents himself with
making now and then an application for ad
mission, in order to entitle himself to his sa
lary of SISOO a year. A day or two will
probably he sufficient to biing the partiss
to a compromise, by which Mr. Watters
lon may be placed in a situation of security
and Mr. Meehan in a situation of profit.
The office of assistant wa3 created by con
gress about two or thre** years ago, solely
wiilia view to Mr. Stelie, who
had been previously laboring without com
pensation, and whose clangs, having a mo
ther and sister dependent on him for sup
port, excited strong sympathy an.prig the
members. He has scarcely derived any
benefit from the favorable disposition of
congsess before he is removed, and turned
out on the commons for subsistence.

Our city elections for an alderman and
three councilmen, in each of the six wards
came on last Monday. Iq the first ward
Mr Van Ness, the chairman of ihe Jack
son centfal committee, was a candidate for
alderman, and ihe election waq distinctly
put upon party grounds. In himself, Mr.
Van is ver) unpopular—but owing
to Iris influence with General Jackson, and
the activity with which he had exerted that
influence, and added to this, owdig to the
circumstance that his tickets, were ail print
ed on red paper, for the purpose of mark*
ipg those who might vote against him, and
of punishing them, if public officers; he ob
tained his election. great many clerks
reside in that ward, and it is known that
persons who came to vote, on seeing thp
coloured tickets, chose rather that their
suffrage should not be given, than that they
should by an unnecessary effort at inde
pendence, expose their families to poverty.
This is a practical commentary on General
Jackson s Inauguial, in which he charges
the bite administration with bringing the
patronage of the federal government in con
flict with tle freedom of ejection, and pro
mises to correct the eyii In the other
wards of the city, where the executive in
fluence is less feared, the Jackson ticket
was in every instance outvoted by a prodj
gious majority.
Mr. Thomas B. Pottinger, a cleik in
the fifth auditors office, was removed yes
terday. One or two of the drafts drawn by
Dr. Watkins, and on which he has been
indicted, were made in his favor, and
were indorsed by him, aithough no one
imagines, for a single moment, that he had
any inducements to put his name on the
papers, beyond that of friendship. Mr. B.
Deshiell, a clerk in the Treasurer's office,
lias resigned his situation, to prevent him
self from being tiened out. |am told that
several other clerks have determined on, or
taken the same course; and resolved on
emigrating to the west, where the wither
ing influence of the federal government is
not so much felt.
From ihe N. Hampshire Statesman, June G,
EXTRA LEGISLATIVE.
A scene somewhat farcical, but wjthal a
little serious, inasmuch as many deemed it
might have cost us our Governor for the
ensuing political year, occurred in tj;e
House of Representatives, on Wednesday
just. On that day, by the provisions of
the Constitution, and agreerb’.y to invaria
ble usage, the votes for Governor are to be
laid before a Convention of the two Hous
es? to be by them examined. The Con
stitution says expressly that this shall be
done “on the first Wednesday of June.**
A member of the House, of the present
dominant party, not having the fear or the
knowledge of said Constitution before his
qyes, moved an adjournment to the next
day, before any thing was done about bring
ing in or canvassing the votes--;ybich mo
tion prevailed. Some of the more knowing i
ones soon discovered the mistake, and off
the Door-keepers were posted, to re-assem
ble the members. A quorum appeared
late in the afternoon—out how to re-organ
ipe was the <juesuoo, The Honse, as #
, House, could not convene—fur they stood
j adjourned to the next day. The conclu
sion was, pro hac vice , to organize as a
j Convention . The member from Ci!foril
was accordingly placed in the Chair. The
j mistake was then stated by the meiTiber
who had been somewhat instrumental in
getting the House into the hobble, and a
| Committee appointed to wait on the Gov*
j emor for rolitff, under that provision, prob
i ably, of the Constitution, which provi
j that the Govenor, with advice of Counci',
I may convene<he Legislature at an errlier
day] than that to which they may stand re
l gularly adjourned. (The Senate, by the
’ bye, we understand, slid remained in ses
| sioo.) Some of the Committee backed out
others, we are informed, went to the
Council Chamber, but not finding His Ex
celency, concluded to give up their com
mission—trusting perhaps for relief to the
construction—put upon the Constitution by,
an honorable member, that the first Wed
nesday of June, meant, for their purpose,
the whole month of June, or the whole
session of the Legislature.
On Thursday morning, ihe Senate, ap
prehending something, doubtless, from
the snail-like movements of the (Jouse, and
wishing to set a laudable example of promp
titude and despatch, embraced the earliest
opportunity of looking in upon the House,
and joining them in Convention, without
waiting for the dull formalities of a special
invitation. Some constitutional scruples
were suggested by Mr. Wilson of Keene,
to going into Convention and canvass
ing llie voles, on the ground that the Con
siiiution expressly provides that this be
done on the first Wednesday. Tiie objec
tions were, however, overruled, or rather
waived, at the suggestion of the Speaker,
who conceived tl(at tfte proper ft me for
considering the subject would be on the
question of accepting the report of the
Committee \vliq might appointed to
compare and cast the votes.
On Friday morning this Committee ref
ported. The course that the business then
took, will be seen in our legislative Jour
nal. TbP fi*3j ( >rity very promptly ‘look
ed down all opposition.’ —and we shall,
after all, have just as good a Governor as
if tiie votes bad been examined on the first
day of the session.
Rail Road Iron. The ship Hogarth,

board about 120 tons Rail Road Iron.—
Including this parcel, there has been rec’d.
500 tons o! iron, ordered by the South
Carolina Canal aud Rail Road Company
Tiie bars are made to fit, have counter sunk
holes at eighteen inenes distance, rounded
edges, and,in every respect fully prepared
to lay down on the rails, without the neces
sary of applying a blacksmith's hammer to
a single bar, for any preparatory purpose.
And this has been done at a cost, less by
thirty dollars on each ton, than it was put
down at jn the lowest estimate made to {he
{Company. In this onp item, i: is confi
dentjy believd there will be a saving to tiie
Company of at least $6Q,000 in the cost of

estimates.
From information already received, there
is every probability that there will be con
siderable reductions from the estimated

REACTION IN NEW-HAMPSHIRE.
Extract of a letter, dated
Portsmouth, (n. h ) June 6.
‘Yesterday, an election was held in this
tow n, for a representative to the state legis
lature, now in session. On the previous
evening a Jackson caucus was held, at
which the petti collector, district attoriiey.
and other reformed government officers, at
tended, and one of the most popular Jack
son men was nominated for representative,
and governor Woodbury, moderator.- Lit
tle or no exertion was made by the late ad
ministration parly; but at the town meet
ing J. Rice was chosen moderator, and ge
neral Upham, (late was chosen
representative by a majority of 360 votes.
Thus it appears that although, u.ider the
present dynasty general Upham is pot con
sidered a suitable man to hold an offiee, his
constituents elected him almost unanimous
ly to a very important one.
