\\ e ask the attention of our readers to the
following article from the Madisonian. It is
one of the most striking histories of the politi
cal contest of last fall, that has yet been fur
nished. Coming from a whig source, it is
Jierhaps, on that account, entitled to a greater
weightJV. Y. Post.
“WHO IS PERFIDIOUS?
hig papers and Whig politicians, contin
ue, (see the speeches of Messrs. Botts and
Arnold,) we regret to say, to pour out vials of
wrath upon the head of Air. Tyler. The vo
cabulary of the language seems to have been
ransacked for words to express their an£ry
denunciations. This is all exceedingly strange
—and strangely uncharitable. There may
have been many more able and influential,
hut there were none more’ zealous or more
industrious than we were, in the contest
which terminated the administration of Mr.
“V an Buren. But we do protest most solemn
ly, that we were not aware that we were la
boring for a cause, the leading object of which
was, as some now declare, a National Bank.
We assert also, in all sincerity, that we do
not believe that the mass of the people had
any idea that they were sustaining such a
cause. If they did, where d.d they get it]
Certainly not from the columns of this paper,
certainly nut from the principal Whig papers
of the coun try——surely not from the stump,
nor from the halls of C ingress. If a Bank
was the leading objec% why was not a bank j
candidate selected ! Why were two gentle- j
men placed upon the ticket, who were open ‘
and undeviating opponents of a bank ? Were !
they put forward as decoys, that the votes of
the people might be first secured, and then 1
‘these decoys made the instruments of a design !
of which the pe >p!e did not hear, and to winch !
they were not parties] Was any such fraud
and perfidy contemplated] If it was we
were not in the secret. If we had been, and
had lout a hand to forward such a stupendous
conspiracy, we should look upon ourselves as
forevermore a worthy object of the scorn and
contempt of honest men.
t.et us recur a moment, to portions of the
history of that memorable contest of Id 10. and i
see if there he any excuse for the treatment
with which Mr. Tyler is visited.
Gen. Harrison, in his speech at Dayton, in j
October, and Mr. Tyler, in his Henrico letter ;
of the same month, expressed their opposition
to a bank, We have heretofore quoted their
views, and it is unnecessary to repeat them.
We heard many speeehest we read many ad
dresses, and we were daily conversant with some
800 of /.he. whig newspapers of the United Stales
during l'-w whole conies/, and ice solemnly av *r,
that we cannot recoiled more than one public
address, one speech, and two or three whin news
papers, in which a National Pink was urged
as a desirable m ensure’ or as a question belong
ing to t'ie cofUrocersy b fire the people.
The address | we allude to, was the Bunker
Hill declaration, and the sp-ech was that of a
gen/lemfin in B iltimore, which frightened the
committee of arrangements at the time, and
they called another gentleman to the stand to
and ay that the issue ha, l been truly presented.
In addition to (lie negative testimony infer
ential from the general silence of the whig
party on the subject, we may now quote some
positive evidence that a National Bank was
not an issue before the people.
The address of the Whig Central Commit
tee t > the Whigs and conservatives of the
United States, dated Washington, Aug. 25,
1840, and signed It. Garland and J. Clark, in
behalf of the Committee, does not allude to
the question of a National Bank.
I he address to the people ot Maryland, by
the Whig Central Committee of tiie Slate,
dated Baltimore, August, 1810, is silent upon
the subject of a Bank.
At the great. National Convention of young ‘
men at Baltimore, in May, 1810, we heard;
not a word said about a National Bank.
At the great meeting ot Whig merchants, j
addressed by Air. Wensler, at Now York, ‘
September, 1810, a National Bank was not j
called for m any of the resolutions. They j
did. however, ask ('engross to assert its power J
to improve anil regulate the finances and cur-I
rency of the country, and so did we.
In tne rep arts of the proceedings of the!
great meetings at. Colum ius, at Fort Meigs, j
at Saratoga, at. Auburn, N. \ .. at Richmond, I
and a- Vorktovvn, Va., we find no allusion I
made to a Nation?.! Bank.
But on the contrary, in the address of the
Whig Convention for the nomination ot elec-j
tors, to the people of Virginia, we lied the j
following against a Bank ;
“ But it opinions upon the Tariff, Internal |
Improvements! and the Bulk or a Bank, be j
the true tests of Republicans then how stands j
General Harrison m comparison with Mr. Van |
Unreal Wo answer, that upon the Tariff]
and Internal Improvements he cannot be!
worse than Mr. Van Buren, as we have shown
you; and as to the Bank, Ins unpialified de
claration that it was unconstitutional is before
you ; and there is uo reason to believe that he
is in favor ot a Bank in any form, for he is
assuredly oppose* 1 to a Government Bank.]
As far as we know or believe, fellow-citizens, !
Gen. Harrison has but one opinion about the’
Bank, and that is against it, and we feel that
we hazard nothing in saying that he would
not consider any Bank constitutional which,
in Ins opinion, would, if established, be both
“ inexpedient and pernicious

whigs, if in power, would not charter one. We
want no discussion about a Bank. That ques
tion is settled.”
In the Albany Evening Journal, the leading
organ oi the Whigs in ihe Empire State, the
following may be found :
“ Whenever the Federal Administration
finds it convenient to commit new atrocity to
meet its extravagant expenditures, or cover
up its profligacy, the Argus invariably strives
to divert public attention from it by some stale
tirade about “‘a National Bank.” Thus we
find it this morning announcing in two lines
the passage of the Treasury Note Bill, and
following up its brief disclosure of the irre
deemable condition of the Government with
nearly a whole column of objurgatory com
ments upon a “Mammoth incorporation,”
that the Whigs have no design or desire to
create.”
The Whig Governor of North Carolina, in
his message to the Legislature of the State,
in November, 1810, took ground directly and
explicitly against a National Bank.
The Senate of the State of Georgia, in No
vember, 1840, which, if we are not greatly
mistaken, had a Whig majority, adopts and the
following among other Resolutions :
“ 2d. Resolved, That the power to charter
a bank or any other corporation is not granted
to Congress by the Constitution, and is not
necessary to carry into effect any power grant
ed by that instrument.”
lii the speech of the Hon. Mr Barnard of
New York, delivered in the House of Repre
sentatives, June, 1810, that distinguished
Whig said :
“ Banking is an unfit employment for the
Government—it is a dangerous employment,
in whatever hands it may be, while, in dishon
est and corrupt hands, it cannot fail to prove
an engine of oppression, calamity and ruin.”
* * * * * *
“Sir, the influence which banks maybe
made to wield in the political affairs of this
country, if once they can be enlisted on the
side ot the Government, will be found to be
irresistible and overwhelming I believe it
tics influence is not sought, it will be obtained
by the Sub-Treasury bill, and used with cer
tain, steady, and tremendous effect. I think
that banks, innocent as they are in general of
all interference in politics, and harmless as
they usually are, and must be, when undis
turbed in their action, except by wise and sa
lutary regulations, and by the ordinary laws
of money and trade, and left to a just compe
tition among themselves, yet 1 think that
banks are capable of being controlled by the
Government and erected into instruments
and engines, before which a vast amount of
public money and popular opinion on political
matters may be made to bow down in abject
noss and subserviency to Executive dictation
**** * * * *
*■ Sir nobody knows better than the Presi
-lentof the United States, the influence which
banks may be made to wield in politics.—
Nothing is better understood than the use that
was ina.ie of this bank influence, for a series
of years, in the State from which he and 1
come, tor the benefit of a party there.
“ The President, indeed, and his friends,
are prone to represent this influence as al
ways opposed to Government. The last year,
I think he complained, in an annual message,
that this influence bail been brought to bear
against him in the elections—-unjustly com
plained 1 think, and without foundation* The
same evil influence, as we all know* has been
attributed, in unsparing terms to the late Bank
of the United Srates. And in his late mes
sage the President talks of the number and
power of the persons connected w ith the
hanks,’ and the tearful weight of their abil
itv to perpetuate their authority,’ and of their
controlling the Government m peace and in
war.’
“ Well, s : r, if such influence really belongs
lo banks, and if that influence may be
brought to bear in hostility to government—a
point about which the people have no occasion
for alarm —what hinders that this same influ
ence should not be secured in favor of gov
ernment ]”
Now we ask any candid reader, if on look
inp- over these confirmations of the general
truth we have stated, that the question of a
national Bank was not the issue before the
people in 1810, he can maintain the charge
of perfidy against Mr. Tyler for adhering to
iiis principles. On the contrary, if the charge
of perfidy is applicable to any body, is it not
to be applied to those who maintain one set of
principles before the people, and an opposite
after having achieved the victory ] We make
no recriminations. But those who live in
glass houses should never throw stones.

FROM FLORIDA.
By ihe U. S. steamer Beaufort, Capt. Peck,
from Pilatka, we yesterday received the St.
Augustine News of 27th inst., from which we
copy the following extracts. Capt. Peck in
form-? oj that he waited more! than 24 hours
after the usual time for die express rider to
come in at Pilatka from Tampa Bay, but he
had not arrived on Sunday at 10 P. M. It was
feared he had been murdered by the Indians,
as they had recently been on the road destroy
ing bridges, &c., and but a short time since,
they fired upon an express rider near Fort
Holmes. There was no news in the neigh
borhood of Pilatka.
From the St. Augustine News*,
Indian Intelligence. —twenty-seven In
dians of Tigertail’s and Aleck’s bands came
in io Tampa a few days since, and surrender
ed, having left their hostile chiefs.
Capt. .Alexander, 6th Infantry, with a part
of iu.s Regiment, discovered one oi Tigertail’s
camps, recently, in the Homascilssa Ham
mock, and destroyed a held of corn— -the last
one, so said the Indian guide, b -longing to that
chief.
Lieut. Rogers, of the Dragoons, pursued an
Indian, the oilier day, on horse back, and
rinding some difficulty in drawing Ins sword,
actually rode over him, and took him prisoner.
Capt. Gw in n, B'h Infantry, with his Com
pany, captured three of Tigertail’s warriors, a
few days since, and sent them to Tampa,
lie was, by last accounts in pursuit of a large
party to which those warriors belonged.
Ail the above are in addition to the 27 In*
dians already reported as coining in at Tam
pa. Such a week’s success, if continued, as
tins, will soon gather all the remainder of the
hostile binds still left in Florida.
Indian Billy, a Seminole, who came into one
of the Southern posts some months|since,

Gen. John E. Wool, Inspector General of
the U. S. Army, has been appointed Brigadier
General, vice tiie promotion of Major General
Scott.
Col. W T illiam J. Worth, Bth Infantry, has
been appointed Inspector General of the U.
S. Army, vice the promotion of Brigadier
General Wool.
It is a matter of congratulation to the coun
try, that the appointment of Inspector General
of tne Army, has fallen on Gen. Worth, an
officer so eminently qualifled to discharge its
duties with credit to himself and honor to the
service. But, while we express our delight,
it is chequered with dread—n fear that Flori
da inav lose his services in the conduct of this
war, by the demands of duty elsewhere : and
thus leave unfinished what is so rapidly draw
ing to a close by his direction. Gen. Worth
has large claims upon our common country,
and upon the good will and friendship ot the
people ot Florida. In him they see the per
severing officer, undaunted by climate and
the innumerable difficulties by which be was
beset—leading the way in person, and setting
an example in pursuit of the enemy, worthy
of all praise. They see the inevitable results
of this in the capture of the Indian, his des
truction or his suing for peace. The army,
constantly in motion, allows the Seminole
scarce repose; and his planting ground and
fastnesses, where his women and children
slumbered in security, are trod by the feet of
our soldiers in their determined pursuit. We
but raise our voice in common with all, and
trust that the Government will not deem it
necessary to require Gen. Worth’s services
elsewhere, until he has brought to a close this
long and disastrous war.

Correspondence of the Courier.
Washington, S%pt. 1.
The prospect of an adjournment of Con
gress, next week, is now pretty fair. Mr.
Buchanan said, yesterday that he supposed
the Bank Bill would be passed to-day, and the
Revenue Bill the next day. Mr. Clay said the
Senate could close its business this week.—
Many of the opposition Senators, particularly
Mr. Sevier and Ur. Linn wished to sit out the
Revenue Bill yesterday.
The amendment now pending to the Revenue
Bill is to exempt Tea and Coffee from duty,
and it will prevail. Mr. Mangum declared
himself in favor of it. Mr. Buchanan’s ldo
tion to impose a duty on rail road iron was
passed over for the present. Should it be a
greed to, it will be with a proviso that the
duty shall not be exacted prior to December
next.
The bill to provide for paying the debts of
the Post Office Department, was taken up
and debated for several hours, and it was fi
nally passed, 27 to 15.
In the House, the McLeod resolution was
again taken up. Mr. Barnard (who was en
titled to the floor) addressed the House, du
ring the hour, on the general merits of the
Caroline affair, and the diplomatic correspon
dence and judicial proceedings in relation
thereto.
Mr. Everett stated that he had prepared a
statement in relation to this case, wiiich he
was not willing to submit to the hap hazard
of a speech, but which he was in hopes he
could get in, either in the shape ot a report
or an adverse report. If he could not do so,
he intended to read it as a speech on a future
day.
The morning hour having expired, Mr. Fill
more called for the orders of the day.
The House resumed the consideration of the
bill making appropriations for various fortifi
cations, for ordnance, and for preventing and
suppressing Indian hostilities.
‘The pending question being on the mo
tion of Mr. Fillmore that the House recede
from its disagreement to the amendment ot
the Sanate “appropriating §75.000 for the
defraying the expenses of sele Jtuig and pur
chasing a site fora Western,or Northwestern
or Southwestern Armory to be selected by
the President of the United States,” &c.—*
The motion was carried,- 120 to 44.
Mr. Summers offered the following amend
ment :
“ Strike out all after the word ‘ selecting
and insert, ‘ a suitable site on the Western
waters for the establishment of a- National
Armory, a sum not exceeding live thousand
dollars; and the President of the United
States is hereby authorized td ertusd such se
lection to be made, and to communicate all
the proceedings which may be had herein to
the Congress of the United States, to be sub
ject to its approval.’ ”
] This amendment was agreed to, after a long
discussion, and the Senate amendment, thus
amended, was concurred in.* A conference
was asked with the Senate on the disagree
ment between the the two Houses as to the
appropriation of 130,000 dollars for surveys, in
reference to military defences -
Mr. Fillmore rose, and said that the House
presented at this moment a spectacle which
had never been presented before. They* had
disposed of the business before them, and they
were now simply waiting the action of the
othtr House prior tojadjournment It
Mr. F. as interrupted by loud cries to or
der.
Mr. S. Mason. I have a resolution calling
for information.
Mr. Proffit wished to offer a resolution.
Mr. Fillmore. I was going to move that
hereafter the daily hour of the meeting of
this House be 12 o’clock, until otherwise or
dered.
Mr. Andrews, of Kentucky moved that the
House adjourn.
Mr. Stanley moved to amend the motion by
adding “ until Thursday.”
Much confusion followed.
Mr. Wise asked the yeas and nays on the
motion that the House do now adjourn.
Air. Andrews. I jwas about to withdraw
the motion* but since, the gent'eman from
Virginia (Mr. Wise) has called the yeas and
nays, I will not do so. I will let him know
that he cannot terrify me by calling the yeas
and nays.
The House refused to order the yeas and
nays.
And then* at twenty minutes past two
o'clock, the House adjourned until ten o’clock
to-morrow morning.
Many members of the House left the city,
this morning, for their homes.
Extract from the Washington correspon

The whigs had a caucus on Saturday night,
and a quasi peace was hatched up between

to the Government in the hands of the Col
lector and the Sub-Treasurer, have been
transferred from tlie Bank of Commerce and
America t/> the Merchants’ Bank.

in the town of Concord, of which tlie Rev.
Nathaniel Bouton is pastor, in giving a sister,
Miss Enny Pillsbury, a letter of recommen
dation to the watch and care of a slave-hol

more especially, that neither pastor nor any
other professed abolitionist of that Church re
monstrated against the recommendation.
THE TARIFF. i
Will our readers examine with care the fol
lowing remarks of Mr. Woodbury respecting
the provisions and operation of the existing,
and contemplated tarifflaw? He argues that,
in both, the manufacturer is benefitted at the
expense of the consumer. Read the extract.
It is short, and depicts in vivid colors the op
pressive features of the present revenue Bill.
Thus, under the existing tariff, duties have
been kept high, much above twenty percent,
on most of the protected articles, such as iron
and woollens, till the latest moment; while
most of the luxuries, the silks, were, long ago,
some made flee, and some at only ten percent;
the wines put at much below twety per cent,
and a large number of articles used in various
manufactures, made entirely free. Again,
the great consumers of sugar, salt, and mo
lassen, get little relief till the U§tsix months,
and alter that are to be kept up io the highest
tax allowed on any thing, but the weareis of
silks, and the drinkers of wine, and the man
ulacturer of wool and leather, obtained relief
yoars ago, and largely, by an immediate ex
emption from all Quty on several articles, in
several cases, and from a high one, in most
other cases, important to their interests.
The operation of the Tariff, in these re
spects, proposed, at this very session, is also
similar in its policy. So far from introducing
any relief to the agriculturalists, by the twelve
or lourteen millions worth of articles left free
or at a low duty, it keeps up the highest im
post on the iron, which aids to plough every
acre—the highest on the salt of every table—
the highest on the sugar and molasses used
daily by the poorest —and, as if not content
with these unequal burdens, imposes new and
great taxes also on the lea and coffee of every
log cabin, as well as every palace in the land.
But, while doing this, what does it leave
free? Hides to the extent of two millions
imports a year, so as to aid the leather manu
facturers at the expense of the farmers, whose
herds of cattle cover every hillside. 1 I admit,
Sir, the manufacturers of feather* in some lew
States, exceed in value alf their extensive cot
tons or woollens, iron or fisheries. . Their
owners are an important and meritorious class,
but what are they in importance or numbers,
to the agriculturists, who exist so abundantly
in every State of the Union. Yet the former
are directly and indirectly protected by leav
ing bides free, while the former is to be on
protected, and much that he raises left open
to he cheapened to the lowest prices possible,
and all that he consumes heavily and exten
sively, to he taxed as high as the greatest lux
ury.
His course wools are treated in the same
manner in the proposed tariff. At first pro
tected by the project of the Secretary of the
l reasury, they were obliged at last to kick
the beam at the command or influence of the
manufacturers; and immense quantities of
them undervalued, and really competing with
great portions of what is raised in the coun
try, are yearly lo be introduced free, at the
virtual expense of the neglected farmer, and
for the benefit of the favored manufacturer.
1 pass over several other articles, such as
flax seed, made free also. But, among ihe
olher boasted articles left free dinder the pro
posed system, several beside these are made
so exclusively for the advantage of the man
ufacturer. Such are dye woods, chemical
dyes of various descriptions. Not content
with high duties for his aid alone, many of the
low ones, and the flee articles, are made so
also for his aid.
Without going into a further analysis of this
topic at the present moment, he is to he aided
still further at the expense of the consumer,
by having not only a nominal protection of
twenty per cent on manufactured articles,
competing with his industry, but a home va
luation of the foreign article, thus virtually
raising the duly from ‘it) to even 25, or 30 per
cent according to the views of some of the
friends of the measure. This real addition to
25 or 30 percent under the new system, which
will be in force in 1842, has got to he paid bv
the consumer on the greatest necessaries of
life, though solaced with the delusive hope
that the highest duty he is paying will be only
20 percent. r> . •
Finally, sir, ths mnnufatSiH’ergets a protec
tion still beyond all this, and equal, as he cal
culates, to Bor 10,per cent more by the cash
duties that will then he exacted, instead of
credits. This he gets, too, from the consum
er, and puts in his own pocket, without a dol
lar of it going directly, as in the home valua
tion, into the public Treasury, and adding
something in that way to the public revenue.
Some benefit may be obtained by the Gov
ernment in security against losses by the fail
ure of indebted merchants under the credit
system, but not a dollar in revenue, eo nomi
ne, though the agricultural consumer will be
obliged to pay 8 or 10 per cent more, lor the
benefit of the* manufacturer, so highly other
wise privileged.
It will thus he seen, whether We look to the
existing tarifi, or to the proposed one, to the
amennmeni offered by the Senator from Geor
gia, [Mr. Berrien,} or to the limitation of it
contemplated by the Senator from Virginia,
[Mr. Rives,} that if he admits any exception,
ihe agriculturalist an 1 the consumer will be
constantly sacrificed to the manufacturer; and
ihis just as much when duties are lowered, if
only on his raw material, as When they are
raised orr his rival manufactured article. It
will further be seen that the tendency, if not
the object, of every change in our tariff leg
islation is,- either open or covert, to tax hea
vier the consumer and the middling classes—
the great masses, whose wants should be as
cheap v supplied as possible—and to augment
still more the privileges of the privileged and
the gains of the ric>. How much more will
this be the case if we vote for the original
amendment? I conjure, then, the planting
and farming interest, to rouse from their false,
security; now or never is their rescue, if
they do not make a stand in a Case like this,
it will be vain to attempt it on any future oc
casion.
Another important witness as to the issues!
involved in the last election.
Mr. Cushing then denied that the whig
party stood upon the question of a bank.—•
He said the issue of a bank Was tendered by
tho democrats, tiut that the whigs would not
accept of it; and if the whig party secretly

A Lars. Life Preservep —-The U. S. ship
Delaware has on board among other articles
worthy of note, ten very long and large life
preservers, each capable of sustaining in the
water more than fifty men,- and the whole
made to be lashed together in the form of a
raft, so that, should the ship founder, the crew
may all be rescued from drowning at the time,
and should other circumstances be favorable
raav all save their lives. This, we believe, is
quite a modern improvement. —N. Y. Times.
Declared to be Usury.— The circuit
Court of Rankin county, Miss., at its late ses
sion decided that a loan, made by a bank, of
depreciated bank paper, being an usurious
transaction, is null and void , aud that no col
lections should be etifarced on debts thus contrac
ted.
Fall of Manna. —Despatches from Tur
kish America, received at Constantinopole,
slate that a copious shower of manna took
place at Aleppo and its neighborhood on the
3d of May? Uhe manna, which is in fact a
tasteless seed, that becomes white like flour
after being kept a while, fell to the depth of
two inches. Samples of it were to be chemi
chally analyzed at Constantinople. What
adds to the singularity of the circumstance is,
that a great dearth was prevailing at the
time.

DIED,
Os apoplexy in this City, on Tuesday 24: h tilt. Mrs.
Cassa Watklits, consort of Mr. Ansel Watkins.—
Mrs. Watkins had for many years been a member of
the Methodist Episcopal church ; a modest and un
assuming woman, an humble Christian and an affec
tionate wife ; she passed through life beloved of those
who knew her and ha3 one to receive her reward
where “the wicked cease from troubling and the wea
ry are at rest.”
It is with the most painful feelings we record the
death of Dr. Charles E. Haynes. He died in
this place at the residence of his brother, Col. Tho’s
Haynes. 20 minutes before one o’clock, on Sunday
morning last, in the 38 year of his age. Dr. Haynes
was a native of Virginia, but came as a member of his
father's family it a very early age to this State, where
he has been favorably known as a private citizen, pro
fessional man, arid as a representative of the people of
this State in the Congress of the United States. To
his acquaintances it need not be said that all those
traits of character .which couldendeaf a man to his
f iends in private life, at his constituents in his public
station, were admirably blended irt the subject of th'is
notice. Moral, temperate, and respectful, he com
manded the esteem of the religious ; affable in his
manner and tolerant irt his principles, he was highly
respected by his poli'ical opponents ; kind and affec
tionate, he was the idol of his now bereaved family
Circle. He was for many years an acceptable and
devoted member of the Metho'dist Church, I has
left hehis 1 hint the consolation that he has exchanged
this for a better habitation. Fe w, if anv more worthy
men ever lived, and none better are left to bemoan
his loss, or emuia’e his examples in private dr public
life.—Federal Union.
At Chattahoochee, on the 27th rtlt. Mr. Gtoßcr
W. -SMiTif, merchant of St. Joseph. The deceased
had for several years resided in his City, and we bift
express the common sentiment of the community, when
tvs say, tha’ no single death has been so generally la
mented. Ue had left St. Joseph but a few days pre
viously to’ his dertth to join his family in C dumbus.
■and when the inte.Uig'eric'e came among us, even amid
fh’ universal alarm tfiert prevai ing—each one felt that
a useful and good trtCirfber of society had fallen. Cour
teous in his deportment frt all—true as a friend—and
as a merchant—frank liberal, and prompt—the mem
ory of Mr. Smith, will be long Cherished bv the peo
ple, of St. Joseph, as one of their earliest, their best,
and most influeir ial citizens.
‘He wa<, hut words are wanting to *Sv what 7
Ask what a man should be, and he was that.’
