FRIDAY MORNING, JANUARY 20. ~~>lr. ri.ay aud the Almuiistbaiion. • The following article from the Madisonian, ■~gyre l »fiyfcPr»-si«leut,.>M;**.- ■’SSS-ProSHTFe TmKT mS»- VC<* had supposed that every intelligent mail in the Country who had read Mr. Clay s speeches for sei oral years back, were certainly convinced, that he advocated only such a discriur.nuting tariff as would support an economical admin istration of the government ; but it seems Mr. Tyler’s organ lias not ascertained this fact, and therefore seeks to make capital lor itsmastet, leaving the reader to inter that Mr. Tyler is a decided advocate of a protective Tariff Well, he may be Tariff oi Anti-Tariff —Bank or Ami- . Bank—or any side or all sides of all question., but no act of his or those with whom he is as sociated can command tor him the respect ol any portion of die American people, save the mere camp followers, who only fawn upon and patter tlie " (ratter ” for the spoils he can and may bestow. It is unfortunate for Mr. Tyler and the countiT, that he has no sincere friends who will tell him frankly in what contempt lie is held by every man who values truth or integ rity. Had he such an one, there might be some hope of his administering the government with less regard to his elevation to another term. Mr. Clat and Free Trade.—Mr. Wise al luded, in his late address to his constituents, to the original form in which Mr. Clay .proposed the celebrated Compromise act of 1833. The address spoke at the time from rcroUectimi only. The following is an exact copy of the provis ion of that act referred to, as it was drawn by- Mr. Clay himself and shown to his friends, to wit: , “ AndJ rnm arid after the aforesaid day(June M, 1842) aJldutics couerted v/»>n any articleor articles what sock r offoreign importation shall be e.pial ac cording tn the value thereof arid solelyfor the pur pose and with, the ini e „< of providing such revenue as may be necessary loan economical c.r.pmiiture<f the Government, without regard te the pro'ecltoii or encouragement of any branch of domestic incus. ry whatever. The friends of protection may judge from this how much they'owe to the friendly disposition of the Great Pacificator. There is no danger, at the same time, of its proving him to be a con vert to the doctrines of Free Trade. Naval.—The sloop of war, Falmouth, at jAwusarols, h»* -received orders to return imme diately to Vera Cruz. ’The brig of war, Dol phin, also al Pensacola, has received sailing ai ders for Campeaehy, and was to leave in a few days. The sloop of war Ontario, also at Penwt eola, is about to anil for New Orleans; where she will remain for some time as a receiving after considerable debate resolVedtu proceed at 12 o'clock on Friday, (13th) to the choice of two out of the four highest candidates for Governor and Lieut.

He received, in joint ballot of ihe two ' Houses of the State Legislature, a majority off 45 votes, being more thau the entire Whig vote, i The votes in opposition’were given to ex-VT-e j President Johnson. The Bankrupt Law. The National Intelligencer <d the 17th says: —The House of Representatives has at length taken the question upon thepriciple involve I in the proposition to repeal the Bankrupt Law pass ed at the first session ot the. present Congress; and the committee on the Judiciary have been peremptorily directed t<» bring in a bill for its re peal. It will be some consolation to those who na v*-.‘earnestly deprecated the repeal as first pro posed, to learn that, on motion of Mr. Tilling best, the Committee was further instructed by lii;- House, by a large majority to report, in addi tion t<> and as part of the bill, a proviso that "this repeal shall not extend to or effect any ease which at the time this net goes into effect shall be pending before any court, nortoany proceed ing w liich at said time .shall have been legally rxuniuenced, and which shall lie then in progress, and under by virtue of the act hereby repealed." W the Bankrupt Law be repealed at this ses sion, therefore—as we have no doubt that it will be—Hie prediction may be safely hazarded hat it will be with a provision substantially the be same as the above. Congress—Rem ivals from Office. The proceedings of both Houses on Monday, the 16th instant, are of little interest, save th’ action on the bankrupt law, noticed in an extract from the National Intelligencer, and the follow Ing resoluti >n offered by Mr. Fessenden of Maine. ( which, under the rule, lies over one day. Th- I other business transacted in both Houses was al- | most exclusively of a private character. Hesolced, That the Secretary of the Treasury ■ be dlree’ed to inform this House whether any i charges have at any time been preferred .to ih ! Deportment against Jonathan Roberts, late col- ; lector of the port of Philadelphia, relative io his I discharge of the duties of said office; and if any J have been, that he be directed to funish copies of ' the same. Also, that he transmit to this House ' copies of any order, Instruction, or request ad- I dressed to the said Jonathan Roberts to remove or appoint any subordinate officers of the cits- j toms at the port of Philadelphia. Also, a copy of I the order or letter dismissing him from the office of the collector of said port. And copies of all ‘ letters and papers In possession ol the Depart ment relating to the subjects embraced by the re solution. The Tariff Policy in Virginia. The National Intelligencer says: The Whigs of Westmoreland county, Va., held a conven tion recently, at which Lawrence Washington presided, and a set of uncommonly sensible re ’s, solutions were adopted. We make from the ptasambte the following extract, the sound prac ticaKcoramoa sense of which is truly refreshing, considering the quarter from which it Comes, and thetbarren abstractions with which that pan of the country is so blighted. These rational and reasonable Westmorelan I men say: 11 WithVßßpcct to the tariff, which is the ab sorbing topic of tire day, we are decidedly in favor of such an imposition of duties as shall foster domestic manufactures to the fullest ax tent. consistent yvithsucliantunomr of revenue as the fair and honest demands < f the Treasury may require. W e profess, nevertheless, to be thorough believers in the doctrines of Ire? trade. We are convinced dhat if all the nations of lb earth would be gowmed by them in their com mercial relations, they woul! confer unon all the greatest possible amount of attainable pros perity. But we should regaid it as the height of folly to throw open our ports without resiric uon to other nations so long as their’s are shut in our faces, and they continue to act upon a whollv opposite policy.

On the passage the Dale was situ ir.to Pannina, the other vessels eunlitiuing the voyage to Califor nia. On the 19th October Com. Jolies arrived at Monterey, the capital of Upper California, an chored "close in witii his two vessels, having springs upon their cables, and sent Capt. Arm strong, ot rhe frigate, on shore with terms for a surrender. The Governor of California, Al varado, was allowed some eighteen hours to consider the terms, which were to the effect that the fort and all rue government stoius were to be surrendered to the United States, white all private property of the r.tiirers anil citizens was to be respected. This uas hi the evening. About 12 o’clock at night the Governor sent commissioners on board die frigate with the capitulation. It was signed By himself, and sur retldere.l the whole of tipper Cajilornia to the United States. On the next day, tff 12 o’clock, a detachment of 150 seamen ana marines were sent on shore, formal possession ot the fori was taken, and the flag ot .the Unileil Stales was hoisted. 1 'he entire population, sccorurug to all accounts, ap]R'aied highly pleased with the tianstiirofthegoveriimeni into the hands of the United States—tin- Mexicans theitKehes mam testing higher gratification than any of the other inhabitants. Coni. Jones held possession of the place until the afternbon ol' the 2ist Ugtoher. Being on shore he found a file oi' papers from the United States two months later than he hal previously received,dill then lor the first time ascertained that all liitliculiies between thetvo countries had been settled. Upon this he immediately re linquished possession ol the fort and priqieriy, and sent his nun on board the vessels'. Lieut, liartstene sailed from M..nleiey in the U. S. ship Yorktown, on the 22d Octoi.cr, an.t was latnie i at San Was on the 7th Ddeeuiljcr. From tlience he proceeded across the country to the city.of Mexico, wearingtile United States uniform; anti although tire new s the affair at Monterey spread all over the counlry, lie was extremeL' well treated on the entire route. Com. Jones remained at MotVcrey in ll.e Cy atie, having sent the United States i 0 the Sand wich Islaius for provisions., On the return of that frigate he would proceed in her to Alazat -1:11, leaving’ one of the sloops of war on the I ceitest of California. T'ne Dale had not arrived I tioui Panama, not the Relict from Callao. The Shark, when List heard from, was at Callao. I The. Yorktown will probably I e homo about the Ist July.

I'he health of Junge Hutchinson is rep reseuted as extremely gjo.i. as w vs also that of D. C. Og.kti, Colquhouu, Maverick, Bradley, Jointsoil. Jones, andotiiers who are well known here. The news of the capture of California, youiiiined with lite account of the invasion ol Mexico by Gen. Somervell, which bati reached the city, had tended to render the Mexicans more exasperaim than ever against the prison ers, and itiuuced them to treat the poor lellow s with extreme rigor. The utmost severity the Mexicans can exercise toward these men, ae e irJ.fftg to the usages of all civilized nations, is to treat them as prisoners of wat; and wereven doubt whether they i tin be long held even as prisoners. Instead of this, we find judges. law yers, physicians, mereitauis atm others—el.teily men many of them and with families-—throw n into a prison in one of the coldest and mosttin eonrfottable places ip the country, chained in pairs like common criminals, and what is more, compelled to labor in their manacles. We doubt not that foreign governments will 1 >ok into this matter, and tic cannot but beli.-ve that Santit Anita will lie informed that otliqr than humane treat.unit wjll not Ln tolerated toward these men.

This new political movement is called by the majori ty ot the press a “popular movem?nt but it is basely false, and the prime mover of the. whole affair is Santa Anna; ivhb, from the retirement of his Hacienda has itcenseeretlv directing eve ry thing.

The Hcwsfrom Yucatan has been anticipated by arrivals at this city direct from Uampeachy. The Montezuma frigate was nt Vein Cruz, and was to change Iter colors and hoist the Mexican flag on the Ith irtst. It was thought she would gel tip steam for Campeachy in a few days) and it was even rumored at Vera Ctuz that Santa Anna would visit the seat of war in'person on board of her. The officers who brought heroul do not remain, and we leant that tlie major part Os the crew are trying to get their passage Lome to England in merchant vessels. Chariewoq;!, with his officers, as is well known, have left the service, and itds reported that he is now in Ha vana. Ail the vessels acting againstCatnpeacliy, in cluding the Meatner Guadeloupe, are miserably officered an:i maimed, according to all accounts, amt can hardly help limning foul of each other. The new duty upon x-onrse cottons imported mtu the c.mnlry; which amounts almost to a prohiiiitiou, w ill be taken off Ire Santa Anna— iat least so it thought. Electro Magnetic Telegraphs. i A bill has keen introduced into Congress (a copy of which together with the report of the Cointnittee accompanying ithas been ftimished us,)-making rm appropriation Os $30,000, to test tliepracticability'-of the system of Electro Magnetic Telegraphs invented by Mr. Morse of New A",oik. The committee recommend the experiment in the highest terms. The New Orleans Bulletin in an article upon the subject says:— A trial has been made at Washington with very satisfactory results, of the Magnetic Tele graph invented by Mr. Morse. The ablecdr •respomiv-rj. of the i’hitartclphia United Mates Gazette,N. Esq. mentions that by it two men, one in oneendof the-Capitol and the other iu tlie other end, can cogveise with almost the same rapidity that one can write.

The geniletmm to whom I refer is Edward P. Littl nos Marshfield, a Locofoeo. It was sup posed. of course, that he would immediately leave his seat in the house and take his seat at the feenaie board, agreeably to usage, and the spirit, if not the letter, of the Constitution. But the pany needed disservices in the House to help them to send Morton to the Senate as one of the candidates irom whom the latter body is to select a Governor: and he determined to re main lor that purpose. "Yestereay, th- mattercame up for eonsidet aiion, when a ramiun was made to assign to-day, at 12 o’clock, lor the selection us caitdiilales for Governor, xgreeabiv to lhe Constitution. This motion prevailed by a small majority, mqny Whigs supposing that the Senator from Marsh field would meanwhile, from his own sense of propiiety, if on no other ground, vacate his scat in tne House. This morning, however, iu spite of ail the remonstrance of gentlemen ywieruay, Mr. Little was in his place;’ and when a Loco foe * moved to proceed to the special assignment, the Whigs raise i the constitutional ebjecßon that the vacancies in lhebenate not having been filled, the House could not proceed to choose the candidates for Governor. The subject was debated till three o’clock, when the House ad journed till Monday. So the choice of Govern or is delayed for the pesent. The Whigs have it in their power, by remsingto return the name of Morion the Senate, to prevent his election. Whether that power will be exercised or not re mains to be seen.” 5 > the.

Every man turned out, and prepared iiu nselt'to defend his house and lainilv against m ilitary lawlessness. tn less than three quarters of an hour the en tire city was put into such a state of defence that each street became a fortress; every win slow, every ba Icon v, became a bulwark; and. as the military passed beneath, table*:, beds, chests, benches, files, stones, hot water, boiling oil. melted lead, were showered down upon them. Every article of furniture, the most precious as well as the most worthless, which could cause ■death or inflict injury, was fltnig down upon the • iefenceless head of ihe unhappy soldier.

State of Trade. —The burst of speculation produced by the Dews from China and Indiahas passed away, but a fair business is doing in Mot ion, and the price of that great staple continues so moderate as to give every* encouragement to the revival of the trade.—"l'he new crop is novV coming in freely. Business, generally, is in an improving state, and confident hones are felt in all quarters that next year will lie one of com mercial activity. We are glad to learn that the last accounts from Australia, as well as those from India and China, are more favorable than they haye been tor some time, and we are also happy to learn that the good news from the East," and the hope of a revival of trade, have had the effect of considerably improving the val ue of British shipping. Owing to the expecta tion of further legislative changes, little is doing either in the corn or sugar trade at present, and the tea trade is almost at astand still, owing to the recent news from the East, and the uncer tainty as to the effects which will be produced on supply and price of tea by she changes of our relations with China.

Bradford, Thursday.—During the week there is quite a new feature in the wool trade, a spirited demand having sprung up. The recent sales in London, of colonial and,other wools hav ing found buyers at advanced rates, has inspired a confidence arnongthe holders of English wool; and the'result is, that higher prices have been demanded by both growers and dealers, which liave.been acceded to by the advance in noils andbrokes is fully supported. i'he Nottingham trade has, we are glad to say a good deal revived in some branches. Belfast, Dec. 2.—We have experienced au improved demand for linen yarns during the present week. The French are again obliged to come to market, notwithstanding their high pro tective duties, as vve learn considerable ship ments are now being made to the French pons, which must have a favorable effect on the trade generally.

Reciprocal Trade with Hiiglaud. A communication from Gen. Dufl Green ap pears in the Madisonian of yesterday, on the subject of our connnercial intatdoui.se with Great Britain. The writer believes that a dis position exists on the part of the British Goretn meut to extend sjiecial advantages to tlie United .States in the way of trade, provided that such modifications were made in our tariff as to ad mit British manufactures on easy terms. He says: " Indeed, I was authorized by Lord Aberdeen liiiusell', to say that it was his eai uesl desire to place the commercial relations of the two qpup ii’igs on terms of reciprodci/, and 1 am persuaded tiiat may be j>|-ovid)gg fiXr • ty, or duty free, and that the trade iißTiinbet uni: provisions and all our surplus produiUsrtuay be placed on the saipufooting as lifelike products us her colonies; at the same, tjme t'tat our navi gation may obtain eoneesstmw do les*} impor tant. And that, for granting us these favors, England will ask of us no more than that our tariff' shall be so modified as to her manufac tures,' as to charge thereon no higher ratq of du ty than is indispensable to provioefor an econo mical administration of opt' Government.” There is no doubt,that the enactment of ottr tariff has awakened the British Government to a perception of the fact that its restrictive meas ures might be relumed with effect by countries that had, for a considerable period, yielded to their unequal operation. How happened itthat no mention of reciprocity occurred when we were receiving British manufactures at low du ties 7 if the free importation party in this coun try should prevail so that England can get the advantages she desilwe shall probably hear very little about corresponding favors. But let the language of British statesmen be what it may on the subject ot rcciprocily, their inflexible adherence to home interests is too well known to allow any one to be deceived by worasi “The Opiots Tax Bill or,lß4o.”—This wa-v the language of Mr. Black when, last in ihe Legislature. His own party have lately render ed that tax bill more odious bj* auding 25 per cent to it. .

Vricnds and Foes- The following are the remarks of the Wash ington correspondent of the U. 8. Gazette upon the vote to sustain Mr. Adams’ resolutions, touching the 21st rule. Should you think it worth while to publish a list ot the yeas and nay s,il will beseeti.diatnejr ly all who voted to sust *in the right of petition were Whigs, while as lowge a proportion who opposed this inalienable right, were Loeertbcos. And yet, strange as it maty seem, it is not less true, that the very party a vho thus sustain this right, have been defeated i »the fetales ol Ohio and Massachusetts, and thei’a defeat materially aided in New York, by th.r untiring efforts of those who profess to be, par. excellence, the friends and advocates of the tigiht of petition.— I could even go into particulars and show , that to the exertions of oneol the moat active aboli tionists, (the Editor oi the Emamcipator,) Air. SaltonsinU who hns uniformly .s ustained the right of petition, in a considerable jlegrce owes his defeat in his district; Mr. Rantol 'l, the loco foco candidate,!and as ultra being sustained by this class ol men, urged on, as 1 understand, by the individual referred t o, whose residence is in New ¥wek, or at least lx is paper is published there. By the wav, I have u little piece of ini brma tion which (may as well give in thisplt .ee as any other; namely, that this same editor, fe.ho is also a reverend gentleman, avowed to two or three Whigs, during last session, that it wdt’tld be impossible to establish it thinl patty till ol’ p or the other of the two great political parties in • to which the country is Jivirted, should be put down, and ririven to’the wall; very—l was about to say frankly, but I will not use that word—tnit did acknowledge that his purpose fv.-ta. to put down the Whig party. Tliat purpose, not on?v he, but hundreds of others, whose rial object' was not known to a large portion of tlkise upon whom they operated, have, during the late elec tions done all they could to earn* into effect, It is a singular position the Whigpattv stands in; viz:—charged by the Locolocos witii being the Abolition party," while the active and ieaditig Abolitionists; the political Abolitionists: are doing all in their power to defeat the Wlpgs and cause tlie triumph of their ogiponeut-; aud even avowing their determination to accomplish this object I Well, this is a flay of strajige things, absurdities, and inconsistencies. The Bankrl'Pt Law.—The repeal of this ki-w it appears, is determined on. 11 those who are urging itsen etthrow with such pressing earnest ness are impelled to their colnse bj- a beljef tliftt the wishes ul’the people are for life repeal, we must declare ourselves-at a loss to discover sufficient indicationsol-such wishes. Os the petitions sent to Cougress on the .ntbjevx the far greater number is in favour of tlie lav.—not, probably, as it standss-bui with some modidc:te lions. The getter; 1 language of the press, which may be supposed to itonote sqmething of the feelings and wishes of ihe doirmt’hily, is de cidedly against the unqualified lepeal’of tire law. It may be one of the lixed intentions'of ottr political opponents io use their ascenitjfffiv ;;i Congress>—when they alia in it, as they hope to do in the iiuuieftiate'destruction of every iitea/- ure established L>y the Whigs, i'he repeal of the Bankrupt lav. then hy.ihcm at the next,' to; ■ gre.ss might be looked lor, in the eyent ui' tficir having a majority. But that the Whigs should enable them to ahticipritetlteli-icveisingproce-s —that they should tend help to overturn their own work —is indeed a tiling that they weli cause surprise. If amendments were introduced into the Bank rupt law so as to peilei.-i such, parts'as have proved to be defective, we believe ti:b country woulu be much better saiinfeed than by its repeai. Can there not be a goon Bankrupt law establish ed! Tlie framers of the constitution certainly thought such a thing practicable; for they provided for the enactment of Bankrupt laws, and entrusted the power to the General Govern ment by a special clause. Do tlie repealers ot the present law held that no general system of Bankruptcy ought to exist under the authority ofCongress? Are they opposed to the principle, or only to some of the features of the present system! An act of unconditional repeal would imply hostility to any Bankrupt law; tbr it the objections to the present one are only applica ble to some of its provisions, let those p ovrs ion-; be amended. It may be that some think it hettertdleave the insolvent laws of the Sever;;!,.States to cover the whole ground: At all events the question will arise. ::nd il will command consideration, wheth | ei'-it is better to have six and twenty l ie. 1 sys tems ol bankruptcy, each operating within a limited sphere, or one general system, ttfi'litnn in its i-haraeior and extended in its operation I throughout the whole Uni* r .-Bal imarc Air.rr>- 1 can.
