NEWS AND GAZETTE. PRINCIPLES anil MEN. WASHINGTON, <; A THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 0, 1841. FOR GOVERNOR, WILLIAM C. DAWSON. Whig Nomination for Wilkes County , to the Georgia Legislature. FOR SENATE, GEORGE W. CARTER. FOR REPRESENTATIVES, . EABORN CALLAWAY, BENJAMIN WALLACE. DENNIS PASCHAL. Mr. < lsy. The unwavering course of this distin guished statesman, deserves the approba tion of every friend of his country. Amid difficulties and discouragements which would have made desperate any ordinary man ; though a storm of slander and insult from the vile tools of faction ; against the fierce opposition of enemies who vainly hoped that “ the Eagle in his pride of place’’ could be “ by mousing owls hawked at and slain,” and despite the treacherous deser tion of false friends — he has held on his j way, unswerving, towards his great aim & J object, his country’s good. When the trou- j bled waters of strife have rolled over the country and none seemed to have the pow er to stay them, he alone, seeking no per sonal aggrandizement, which he might ea sily have attained in the tumult, nobly stood forth to allay it. When the land was a bout to be deluged in blood, when the South was arrayed against the North, State a gainst State, brother against brother, who then threw himself into the breach with so generous a self-devotedness ? When the discord of party was loudest, there was he, but he came as the Spirit of Peace, and the strife was still. No self-sacrifice was so great, no danger to his popularity so im minent that he did not boldly brave them for flic public good. Had be been Presi dent, never should we have seen him setting up his own private and individual opinions j against those “of the Fathers of the Great Republican School,” against the wishes of the nation, and against the solemnly declar ed will of the people’s representatives. For more than thirty years lias Ilenry Clay been in public life, and what reward has he reaped for his numberless sacrifices of self, upon the altar of patriotism and con ciliation ? These are his rewards, to be loaded with vituperation and insult, to have his services undervalued, his motives im pugned, his reputation assailed, his claims postponed to those of men who have proved J themselves utterly unworthy of public eon- | faience, to have his very name which is | interwoven with honor in the history of the country “ made as if it were a spell to raise the wild devil with,” those a>'e his re wards ! But it is time these things should be no longer, there is a deep and growing respect in the hearts of the people for this, their faithfullcst servant —THE PRESER VER OF THE UNION—a fervent and increasing admiration, as scheming politi cians will yet learn to their cost. This press is pledged to his support. — The time is long to the next Presidential f election, & our declaration may bo thought premature ; yet we desire to inform our readers what ground we shall occupy in the interim. Excepting the accidents in cident to human life, and he remaining tiie same great patriot as at present, we shall from this time forth advocate his elevation to the Chief Magistracy, and when the proper season comes, our candidate shall be For President of the United States, mmwMW OF KENTUCKY. Tax on Accessaries of Life. Our opponents are making a great fuss about the bill for raising revenue lately passed by Congress. They talk loudly a bout selling the South to tariflites, taxing the people for necessaries of life, &c. &c., and argue so learnedly and zealously, that -one who did not know them would think they actually believed their own assertions. The articles, about which the greatest uproar is raised, are ‘Pea, Coffee, Sugar, Molasses, Salt, Iron, Bagging, and Blank ets. The four first can hardly be consid ered necessaries of life, and so small is the quantity of tea consumed at the South, that even if the duties upon it were increased, as fthey affirm, it would be a matter of no great consequence. Tea and Coffee, almost from the forma tion of the Government down to 1832, were taxed, and at one time so high as ten cents per pound. The duties were taken off when j the payment of the National debt and 1 lie j abundance of money in the Treasury ren- J dered them unnecessary. But Mr. -Van j Bttren’s administration having left the ! country millions of dollars in debt, it he { canto necessary again to resort to ibrmer j sources of revenue, and to impose duties a gaiu upon some of these articles of luxury (it is nonsense to call them necessaries,) | which for the last few years had been free: i accordingly, by the new revenue law, tea j and coffee are taxed 20 percent on their o riginal cost, being a little over one cent per pound on coffee. This is the whole histo ry of this terrible tux ; all can see its pro priety, and it is an insult to the good-sense and patriotism of the people to attempt far ther to explain it to them. The revenue hill has nothing whatever to do with Sugar, Molasses and Sal’.,Khey ! already pay, and have for a long time paid, a duty of more than 20 per cent, and arti cles that pay over that amount, the revenue hill does not touch. Instead of an increas ed tax being laid on those articles, the du ties upon the rrVill ha diminished to 20 per cent in 1842. They were named in the revenue hill by the manocuver of a Loco foco, who got them inserted in an amend ment, for the purpose they are now used for by his party, to excite a clai.’ior against the Whigs, and to influenct? those who had j not the means or the will to enquire into the j matter. Any one who takes the pains to examine will find that the duties on these articles are not in the least affected by the new law. The duty oil blankets only affects a | coarse, cheap kind, costing less than 70 | cents each, which is seldom brought to the South, being unlit for any purpose to which we usually apply them ; so the South ne.ed not apprehend any great damage from this item of the law. Nothing is said about iron in the bill, the j duties remain as heretofore. The duty on | cotton-bagging remains nearly unchanged notwithstanding the assertion of Mr Wise, who showed himself an ignoramus on this subject. The duty on this article has been I a little over four cents per yard, the new j law proposes to lay 20 per cent duty on the • first cosf, which being 20 cents per yard, \ makes the duty four cents. —So much for j bagging. Now we do not wish our readers to da- i pend on our statements entirely, or to take those of the Loco-foco prints for truth, we are willing to leave the issue to them, let them examine for themselves, and decide between the parties, bearing always in mind that the great cypheivr Woodbury, in one of his last reports to Congress, recom- I mended tlie very same duty to bo imposed upon the very'same articles which are tax ed by this revenue bill, and that the Loco locos arc blaming us for doing the very thing, which, had they not been ousted from power, they themselves would have been obliged to do. Since writing the above, we have receiv ed and publish the lette r of Mr. Moriweth- I or, on the same subject, which we recom mend to the attention of our readers. €JOBSgS*C:iio3SaI. The distribution Bill and the Bill to de fray the funeral expenses of the late Presi dent, have passed both Houses and await the signature of the President; and also the Bill to pay the Post-Office debts. The “Fiscal Corporation” was under discussion in the Senate on the Ist, 2d and 3d. inst. Mr. Berrien made a long and a ble speech in favor of it. The probability is, that it will pass the Senate, but no doubt seems to be entertained that it will be ve toed. Congress will probably adjourn this week. “ The Bantling,” is the title of anew paper established at Forsyth, Ga. Lively, without vulgarism ; small as a bantling should be, and in a neater dress than babies generally wear. We like its motto and emblem, and the first “ Don’t tread on me,” the last a big rattle-snake (by no means a bantling,) with a captivating smile on his countenance. (K 7” The Branch at. Columbus of the Western Bank of Rome, has shut up shop. The principal part of the business of the Bank was done at Columbus; its bills are now selling there at forty cents on the dol lar. We hope no one will lose much by the fall of this rag-factory, as it has been shivering in the wind for a long time, and its circulation had become contracted. MODEST AND ENCOURAGING. “If the President goes in my wake, I will give him,” said John C. Calhoun, in the debate on the veto, “ a cheerful and welcome support.” A melancholy prospect this ! Follow in John C. Calhoun’s wake ! What a zig-zag, round about and wheeling there would be here. “ Boy,” said a master to a darkee, just beginning to plough, “ Boy, you see that cow yonder on the other side of the field; strike a line after her, and see that your work is well done.” Off the boy start- j ed, and soon he caught up with the cow. She moved off after her he followed ; now in the corner of the fence, now in the mid dle of the field : now here and now there : when down came the master, angry as you please. “ Why, boy, what the deuce are you about ?” “ Following the cow, sir, as yon told me to do,” replied the boy. And so it would he here. We should pity the President, really, if ho accepted Mr. Cal houn’s offer, and sought to follow in his wake, ft would he far worse than the boy i following the cow.

Iron in the United States —lt is estimated that the amount of iron manufactured in the United States is in value 29,20 b 000. A fourth of this is probably the product of P< nnsylvania. About one third ofthe pro duct of Pennsylvania is manufactured with in a circuit of fifty miles ofthe city ofLan caster.

Gold Mine I —We understand that on last Friday some persons engaged in hunting Gold, discovered a vein on the Lands of Thos. Flow on Clear Creek, about 14 miles East from this place which is very rich.— The vein is about one foot wide, some ofthe ore tulun out was worth between two and three thousand dollars per bushel !!—Char lotte Journal. Square Bales. —Every season, we have more or less complaint of the scarcity of Cotton in square bales. The article in this kind of package always commands the pre ference over round bales, and generally brings £a if cent, per pound more. We wish our country friends could realize the importance to themselves and others of this matter. In square hales there is less loss in weight, the freight is less on them, and they go to market in-far better order, and it is for these reasons that they always com mand a better price and more ready sale. Savannah Republican. Receipt and Custody of the Public Mon ey.—“ We learn that official intelligence having been received at the Custom-House in this city, of the repeal of the Sub-Treas ury, duties on merchandize and other public dues are now received in the notes of specie paying banks. We also learn that the President, having defeated the wishes and the will of the nation by his Veto of a Na tional Bank, and being yet unwilling to keep the public money in his breeches pock ets, has directed it to be deposited in the South Western Rail Road Bank of this city. ’ ’ —Charleston Courier. “Pa,” said an interesting juvenile yester day to his indulgent sire “Pa haven’t I got a Veto as well as the President?” j “No, my child.” “Yes, I have, Pa: my fifth toe is a V-toe, | I reckon.” “Thomas, take this bov to his mother, he’s 1 rutncd!”-N O Pi-. ! DUTIES ON TEA AND COFFEE. Let it be recollected that the modifica tion of the Tariff', which lead to the impo j siiion of a few cents in the pound on these ■ articles, was made necessary by the dis ; graceful and ruinous management ofthe li ’ nances of the country by the locofoco pnr j ty. That party after squandering a large I surplus in tlio Treasury ; after having rub ; bed the States of the fourth instalment, a ! mounting to nine millions of dollars, and spent it ; after having squandered about j seven millions of dollars, arising out of the | sale ofthe U. S. Bank stock, and other sums j amounting in all to some twenty millions of \ dollars or more, over and above the regular \ revenues of the Government, went out of j power leaving the country over head and ears in debt. To pay this debt, the Whig | party found it necessary to modify the Tar iff’, soas to increase the revenue. In doing | ibis their determination was to exclude tea j ’ and ecff'-c from the list of taxed articles, A ‘ I accordingly a motion to that effect was made ! j by a Whig member ofllie House of Repre- j i sentatives. The Van Huron party,how- I j evr always on the alert to thwart their op -1 ponents in whatever they undertake, limine- ; i diately took steps to defeat this object and | | by their management and tactics aceom- i I piished it. So that the Van linren party! ; are not only censurable tv r running tiie na- ! ; tion over head, -and ears in debt, thus making ! : additional taxes necessary, but defeated : uch an arrangement ofthe duties as was de- ‘ signed by the Whig party to leave these nc \ cessary articles free, of duty. Let these j i things be borne in mind by the people.-Bal timore Patriot. A MARVELLOUS STORY. The following wonderful story from the j Nashville Banner, will no doubt puzzle | even Professor Espy. SHOWER OF FLESH AND BLOOD j j “ There are more tilings in heaven and earth Ho- | rat in, ; Than are dreamt of in your philosophy.” Thus spake the Prince of Denmark, and j j everyday we hear something to confirm the i remark. On Tuesday we heard from vari- I ous persons that a shower, apparently of 1 flesh and blood, had fallen in Wilson county near Lebanon, in this Slate, and that the fields were eovev'ou/.a considerable extent. The account stage ./’S our belief, but strange as it may appear, it has been confirmed bv the statement of several gentlemen of high i character, who have personally examined the scene of this phenomenon. They state that the space covered by this extraordina ry shower is half a mile in length, and a hont seventy-five yards in width. In addi tion to the information thus received, we have been favored bv Dr. Troost, professor of chemistry in the University of Nashville, with the following letter from a highly re spectable physician of Lebanon ; we have also seen the specimen sent to him for ex amination. To us they appear to he ani- I rnal matter, and the odor is that of putrid flesh. We do not pretend to offer any tlieo- ; ry to account for this phenomenon, we leave i it to abler and scientific heads. When the | specimens have passed through the cruci- i tiles of Dr. Troost, we will furnish our rea- ; ders with the result. Lebanon, Aug. 18, 1841. Dr. G. Troost : I have sent you some matter, which appears from the authentic source to have fallen from the clouds. With me there can lie no doubt of its be ing animal matter. blood, muscular fibre, adipose matter. Please account to us, if vnu can, on philosophical principles, for the cause of this phenomenon. The particles 1 send you, I gathered with my own hands. The extent of’surface, over which it has spread and the regular manner it exhibited on some green tobacco leaves, leave very j little or no doubt of its having fallen like a \ shower of rain, and it is stated, on the au dio i:y of some negro- s, only i he a small r. and cloud, no other clouds visibi. in the heavens at the time. It took place on Friday last between 11 and 12 o’clock, about 5 miles north-cast of Lebanon. I have sent what I think to bea drop of blood the other particles, composed of muscle and fat, although the proportions of the shower appeared to be a much larger quantity of blood than of other properties. I am, in haste, your most obedient serv’t. W. P. SAYLE.
