RjiHi wot« (be prophetic visions of this truly great man, this thorough judge of the. human bear!—front his knowledge of which, during the vigor of his intellect, he wits thus enabled to determine upon the tendency of human actions. Year after year, since the delivery of these opinions, have events testi fied that he spoke as tliough inspired by him Who 1 “ Touch’d Isaiah's hallowed Ups with fire.” No doubt the strong and forcible terms in Which ho delivered hiuisclf, and the high Character which he had acquired among his countrymen, retarded for many years tiie commencement of the system of usurpation, Which he had foretold. Even his own sus picions appear to have been lulled by this procrastination, aided by the infirmities Which nge spreads over mind and body.(OI) But about the period of his death, the cor ner stones of the edifice were laid. It is known that before the meeting of the Convention which framed the constitution, the old Congress udder the confederation, asked for no more power to enable them to administer the affairs of the Union, than tiiat to impose an ad valorem duty of Jive percent, upon imported goods.(62) Had this befen con ceded by the states, that convention had ne ver assembled. But it was not. The only System in operation for raising a common revenue, was by requisitions upon the states, who obeyed them or not, as their conveni ences or means enabled them. Although there were other evils well deserving a reme dy, yet this was the sore one. When at Inqt the convention did assemble—its ineni liers came with credentials to amend the old, and not to make a neto form of government for the Union. It is admitted, however, that the states afterwards supported them In transcending their authority, by adopting the work of their hands. But in this adop tion, they manifested a caution k. weaiiness that leave no doubt of the construction which they intended should be put upon the pow er of taxation. The ampin means for the support of their own sovereignties, they ne ver intended to relinquish—hut they believ ed that these means were abundantly afford ed by internal taxes. They therefore yield ed all right of revenue arising from ’com merce without repugnance. Aware, how ever, that ej:i£en«e*(63)might arise in which the fund for conimou purposes would be insuffie.ientfrom this source, they yielded to the general government a right o’f internal taxation also. But how did they do it ? In the same unconditional, undefined and ab solute. manner in which they had yielded taxation upon rommerre ? By no menus. They dearly saw the dangerous, vexations, and oppressive extent to which such an un limited power might he urged. They were willing to encounter burthens and hardships In the common defence—but when no longer necessary to be borne on that account, they •jeem explicitly to have declared, in as plain terms as it could be done, without doing it in so many words, that no ideas of grandeur and imperial greatness, or imaginary dan gers apparent only to the eyes of would-be- great men, should prolong their duration.—- Hence, upon the exercise of this power, they formed a rule and put a construction, that dispels all doubt, by declaring that “ Con gress ought not to lay direct taxes, (or as two states, Virginia and North Carolina insisted, “ excises,) but where the money arising frolh duties and imposts are insufficient for the public exigencies," nor then, “ until Con gress shall have made a requisition upon the states to assess, levy and pay their respective proportions.(G4) What language could more clearly shew the jealousy of the states upon this subject ? What could more plainly de clare the rule, that taxation on foreign com merce, (all right to which they had yielded,) should constitute the “ ordinary revenue" of the federal government, and that the power of internal taxation, which was retained as a source of “ ordinary revenue” for the states, should Ih> exercised only when the “public exigencies," that is, some pressing necessity, some sudden occasion, as war, invasion, in surrection, calamity, or other circumstance of general interest, threatning danger to the whole Union, should require it. “ He that runs may read” this clear manifestation of the intentions of the people of the several states, parties to the federal compact. The power of taxation was yielded with more reluctance than any other. It was giving npthepwrre, without which the sword was comparatively harmless. It was known full well, that when any government, or a separate department of one, possessed un limited control over both, liberty and nation al happiness, and individual security were not only jeopardised, hut destroyed, lienee, although many were of opinion that the power over the purse was sufficiently limit- ed by the constitution itself, the states tlio’t proper to guard its exercise yet more strict ly, by the expression of the elear and decid ed rule before alluded to, in relation to the manner, and especially to the occasions up on which it should be exercised. As we have shewn, beyond that which arose from imposts and duties, to which the states re- leased all claim, the general government were told, that all other species of taxation must he considered only as “ extraordinary” sources of revenue, never to bo resorted to hut when “ the public exigencies” required it for it was impossible for them not to fore see that an unlimited power of taxation, in ternal and external, would produce a degree of vexation and oppression unknown to any other government. We invite our reader to calculate tile innumerable and expensive ob jects intended to be retained in the care of the state governments. Let him carry himself a little forward info future ages, and calcu late. that increase of expenses necessarily at tendant upon an increase of population— then let him add the immense mass of inter nal expense, always heaped upon a people by a government constantly striving to attain an unrivalled height of splendor, and gran deur, and magnificence, and dignity, and E owcr, and strength, and God knows what esidcs, (for when governments once com mence such a race, their desires arc as gree dy as the grave, as voracious as death, and as enlarged as Hell,) and we think he will turn with horror from the afflicting result to which his reflections will lead him. He will behold a great, miserable people. Our fore fathers were a thinking people. They fought to shake off the yoke of a government then ► the freest on earth, but which had refined itself into the exercise of powers, that con verted a free constitution into a curse. Can it bo supposed that they intended to con fer upon their new government, creat ed by themselves, for their own security the same powers against the oppressions of which they had so lately staked “ their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor ?"— The thought is fraught only with ridicule From these instrumentrfand the constituti on itself, we think we are enabled to coun- 4 teract another political, measure, to which we shall have occasion to advert, in terms that we shall put ourtelves to no trouble to make palatable. We mean the use of the Ppwer of taxation for the encouragement of manufactures in the United States. Per haps it may be thought a departure from our object here to introduce this subject, be cause it may not lie considered n federal mea sure, afterwards adopted by the republican parly. It may he true, thut during the fe deral administration, it was a point of policy not deemed worthy of a groat struggle.-— But ii was early recommended by that great High Priest of Federalism, Mr. Hamilton—it was reprobated by Mr. Jefferson, his great rival, in the first year of his administration— it is founded in the principle of an extended and liberal construction of the constitution as admitted by Mr. Snrgcant, one of its most zealous advocates, in that part of his speech outlie Missouri question, which we have al ready quoted—and it is admitted by Mr. Baldwin, who next to Matthew Cary, may he accounted the father of the system, to lead directly and speedily to another mea sure, than which noun other that could be mentioned was more decidedly federal, to wit, the adoption of a system of internal taxation. These reasons, with the impor tance of the subject, we think, will justify us for embracing it within the scope of our re marks, in which we promise to he brief up on it. Wo give this promise more readily, because the necessity of its discussion (which we fear would have been but clumsily per formed by U3, at best) lias been saved by the labors of some three or four other individu als, to whose works we can safely reenm mend our readers. We mean Messrs. Gar nett and Taylor of Virginia, Mr. Cambrc- hng of Ncw-V’ork, and the North American Review, Our object will be answered by asking, "’hat is the tendency of the measure ? Sup pose that there, were in the county of Bald win two individuals, the one n Planter the other a Saddler—suppose that from the high price of cotton, and from the competition in the saddling business, resulting either from the importation of saddles, or the very great number of persons employed in their menu facture, or any other cause, the planter was enabled to make one hundred dollars more per annum from his labor, than the saddler— What would he said of the- Legislature of Georgia, were they to pass a law by which the planter was bound to give the saddler as much of that g 100 which he had thus earn ed, as would make the profits of the saddler equal to his own ? nr reversing the case, that the. saddler should he bound thus to. contri butn to the planter? Would not the whole body he denounced as fools or unjust tyrants hy every class of persons of whatever trade or calling? Let us change (lie case some wliat, and suppose that the saddler was a ci tizon of Massachusetts, and that Congres; should pass such a law—Would the justice of it he changed ? Would the principle be altered ? Should the law be passed in di ned terms, we think that the saddlers them selves would rise in arms against it. If it should be the case, however, that the sad dler was really making as great profit as the planter, and tne object, of the law should he merely to induce more men to embark in the saddling business, we doubt whether niassarre of the law makers would not be considered too light a punishment. And yet we honestly declare our belief, that the new Tariff proposed by Mr. Baldwin and bis ro-adjutors, (and we shall encounter no difficulty in proving Mr. Monroo to be one of them.) will, indirectly, to be sure, produce the same effect, as certainly, as if enacted in direct terms. In this task we shall strive to be very brief, and therefore tho reader need fear no long and pretendedly learned com ments. The subject is a plain one, and has been confused only by reasoning of that kind. What is the object of the proposed new Tariff? As admitted on all hands, it is the encou ragement in thr United States of certain ma lufactnrea of woollen and cotton fabrics, of glass, of iron, &c. Sir. Why do they need encouragement ? Because under the existing laws, foreign ers ran manufacture the same articles, im port them info the United States, pay the duty upon them, which constitutes the reve nue of government, and then sell them up on cheaper terms, realising to themselves i sufficient profit, than the manufacturer in the United States can afford to sell them at, with a like profit. How is tiie object to be effected? By the passage of a law, (the new Tariff, by Congress, imposing such an increase of duty upon the foreign article, as will either dtogether prohibit the importation of it, or if afterwards imported, so raise the price, as that the manufacturer in the United State ran obtain the exclusive benefit of the mark et, or sell upon as low terms with a greatr profit than the foreigner. And what are the effects of surli a law ? Its elfectsare 1st, to make the consumer of the article pay a much higher price for the article lie need 9 , than herbefore paid, 2dly, That this excess if price trill be transferred from the pocket of the consumer, to that of the manufacturer in the United Slates, which will make it his interest to continue his fac tory. And 3dly, As the importation of the article is by these means prevented, govern mnnt will of course be cut out of the duty imposed on the article for revenue, and will he compe.l!cd to raise the amount tints lost in some other way, as by direct taxqa* excis es, kc. which will be an additional burthen upon the consumer. Now, is not this precisely the same thing (though done indirectly,) us if Congress should pass a law, obliging every body else, directly to contribute out of tiie profits ol their labor a certain sum of money, which hall be given to certain privileged persons called manufacturers, upon whom our wisea cre-rulers look with such complacency thi all other citizens in the community must quit their lawful business, in order to dra their water, cut their wood, and tread their mortar ! The subject might he easily enlarged and traced to other consequences equally degrading to the citizen, ami destructive of the best interests of our free society. AVe leave this task to others. But we shall take the liberty, as a part of the people, of boldly approaching the. federal government, and asking, “ ifuo warranto ?—by what authori- “ ly do you do this thing? From what “ source do you derive your power ? and “ hy what right do you take from us our “ money and our properly, tho fruits of our “ toil and labor, and thus bountifully bestow “ it on others, whom you may chance to “ like liettor ? Ilow is it that you can dis- “ tinguish between the equally free citizens “ or stales of this Union? If you areautho- « rised to take a part of our substance and “ bestow it on your favorite, are you nut e- « qually authorised to take all r Do yqu “ pretend to say, that you can do it under “ the constitutional power of “ imposing « and collecting duties, imposts and taxes ?” True, you can do this for the purpose or “ raising revenue merely—but not for the “ purpose of filching from us the money we “ have earned, to give to another man, and “ ret make us contribute our share of 1 revc ■ “line. What we have engaged lo do, we. “ are still willing to perform, that is, to con tribute our just portion of the expenses of government. By the constitution we gave you no power over our property, further than was necessary for this purpose. If you forcibly take more than is required for this object, and bestow it gratuitously up on your favored class, your privileged order, you are guilty of usurpation, and have for feited the charter hy which we created you. Tell us not that you can do it under the power to “ regulate commeres with fo reign nations, fzc.” That power was in tended to make the trade with foreign na tions uniform throughout the states, giving to all the equal benefits of its participation and notto subject one class of individuals, nr of states to contribute to the comforts and ease of another by the loss of comfort and ease to themselves. Can that clause he tortured to give you the right thus torob Peterforthe benefit of Paul, who is equally able to work. With the supportof paupers, you have nothing to do. It is a business which belongs to the states. And after all, can that be called a regulation of com merce, the-immediate end of which is, to destroy all commerce f This would he regulation with a vengeance!” Such should he the language of plain freemen to their rulers, and we shall not hesitate to me it, unless, perchance we shall lie gagged into silence hy another Sedition laic.—[To be con tinued.] rotes.

This par! ol federal dities, to our inimls, lias therefore been al nvsthe most unpardonable. (fid) John Taylor, of Caroline, has embodied some admirable reflections upon this subject of a “ pyeat splendid government." We will, with the render s leave, quote a part of them. “ It is true tlmt tho doctrine ol alisntutc lovereign ty, with its indefinite catalogue of appends ges, can ndducc in its detcnce many plausi hie arguments, i* enumerate sundry convent races which might result, from its unlimited capacities (o devote both persons and pro perly to whatever purposes It may think pro per.

Some further arti cles which we have gleaned, will be given hereafter. • Since our last publication of foreign news, we. have read a good deal in relation to the reported insurrection nmong the Greeks— and we are more than ever convinced, that mt much importance is lo he attached to their movements. In regard fo the whole business,there seems lo prevail an equal por tion of ignorance and bad information. It absurd to characterise the rebellion in Wal- lacbia and Moldavia as nn insurrecticn of the Greeks. It is true that the inhabitants of those Principalities profess the religion of the Greek Church, but it would he just as correct to describe the Irish people as Ho mans, because they have (be misfortune to believe the dogmas of the Unman Church.— 'n fact, with perhaps the exeeplion of a few Officers of the Iluspndar Court there are no' ksin Moldavia and Wallaehia—none of that clever and singularly intelligent race, hose pride is inflamed and resentment ex aperated against their Mkhommedan op pressors, by the recollection of the ancient glory anil pre-eminence of their country.

THE WETHERSFIELD BONNET Hartford, June 26. At tho last annual exhibition of domest manufactures ofthe Hartfoid County Agri cultural Society, it w ill he recollected that Grass Bonnet was exhibited by the Misses Woodhouse of Wethersfield, for which tile received a premium from the society, was afterwards, purchased by a gentleman for the sum of 830, and has since been for warded lo London, where the fineness of its texture, and the elegance of its colur, have been universally admired.

The Legislature of that state have passed a resolution appropriating eight hundred dollars to the use of (he agricultural societies.—N. Y. Paper. Preservation of Miat in warm weather. We are indebted to a friend fur the follow ing communication, which we expect Will be acceptable to a number of our t enders. It is a simple and easy mode of preserving Meat fresh for several days, during (he warmest w ealher. He tried it jn succession on two leg- of veal, which were preserved sweet and fresh four or five days, and he thinks it might be longer, if wished for. On gelling this veal from the market, it Was washed in about two quarts of water in which a handful of fine salt had been mixed ; was then placed on a dish, and set away in a wire sale, in a cool situation, covered with a clean towel that had been previously steeped in the salt and water, before the washing operation com menced. This leg of veal was dressed the next day, was washed a second time in fresh salt and water as before, placed in the safe, hut not covered with u towel; the third and fourth da v it was treated exactly in the same way, an J it was found perfectly sweet and good, without any sensible taste of salt. Had the same treatment been continued for one week, I have little doubt but it would produce the same effect ;and I see no reason wliv Ibis treatment should not be alike sue- ees-ful in preserving beef, mutton and lamb. If so, the experiment is worth a trial. [N. Y.

No general engage ment had taken place up to the data of tne last advices, but the Spaniard* were concen trating all their forces, and the letters add that an action was momently expected to take place, which probably would decide the fate of the province.
