«** From the Western Monthly Magazine, POLITICS. I lm.l long been a student of-politics in the ab- struct. I had read the works of the wise, from Pluto to Jt remy Bentham. 1 had marked, with rare,.the growth of the English constitution. I had traced, strp by step, the progress of that great science—the science of legislation—“from the feudal ages to our own illumined century. I had long mused with wonder and delight, over the principles and proportions ol'the government of my own land—and often iiad I thanked God, that he had given me to live in such a land. I had acquired a good idea of political economy, also; had pondered tbo works of Smith, and weighed the peculiar doctrines of Ricardo, Say, Al iltlius and ALCulloch. But whilejmsicd in gathering this theoretical knowledge, I had al most entirely neglected passing events and pre valent opinions. Shut up in my study, I heard little of the wordy tempest that was raging a- broad. Newspapers I seldom read; and when I did, I skipped the politics. Nothing can be more uninteresting, than the cavils of a partis an, to one that neither knows nor cares where fore he so frets himself. I knew, of course, that Jackson and Clay were contending for the ■presidency; I knew that the first had been a brave and successful soldier; and the last, a what do you belong to?” “To the Americar pcoglc.” “And what do you wish and pra for?” “For the happiness of my follow-citi zens, and my fellow-men.” 'Vo Were ten miles beyond that place bofor< another word was exchanged. My friend had evidently got hold of a strange idea, and li: knew not vital to think it—whether flesh, /is or fowl. At last, he renewed the conversation. “I am not,” said lie, “a partisan; but I canno comprehend your indi/lercncc*.” “Iani not in different,” said I,—“far from it; ifl knew win would best forward the interest of my country, tint man I would follow; but I am ignorant.” lie bade me read the papers ;• he referred me to documents, tospcechesinnumcrablc;he became 1 eloquent in opposition to General Jackin.— His gray eye gleamed with don.h'.c intelligence iiis broad, freckled face seemed inspired, as lie demonstrated that the president was oppos ed to the constitution, and meant to destroy it; that bis party were the vilest of the land—the mob, tbo populace, tbo anarchists; that his measures aimed at making (lie executive su preme ; that if he remained In the chair, it would he to make that chair a throne; to set the north against the south; the poor against the rich ; the ignorant against the educated: to divide the Union into sections, the sections j >le dat vork to make de whole happy 5 Jat chose le vise men and de good nien for ruler, and in , ,, , .. , . . , , into parties; to unbind the faggot, and sepa- bold and suMessful poht.cmn—so much was ratc stkk f rom stick and ^ s araid thc st ' rm matter ol history. 1 hat a soldter should be | aild tUe stru ,„ l0j and tho consternation, to seize ing of thc h .ppincss and improvement of tlie people governed; and tho lawgiver, and lie that executes thc laws, and every one that has an inlluence over them, should be capable of understanding the true happiness of the com munity, and the true way of securing that hap piness. In this view of the case, the legislator should bo> chosen solely with an eye to his ca pability of making good laws; the executive, solely with an eye to bis power and Known de sire of executing those laws in their spirit. To bestow any office of responsibility, as a reward, I conceived to be. dangerous, and subversive ot the first principles of our government; for if the people reward tho services done them, by tho highest office in their gift, can they look tii it individuals having power ttt bestow office, will not regard those that have done them ser vice, rather than those that are fitted to serve thc public 1 And to bestow a civil office as a reward for military services, was, to toy think ing, to go back to the principles and ways of the dark ages. However; of General Jackson I know nothing, and he might be; like Washing ton, great in the cabinet as in the field. I stood, consequently, in relation to the presiden tial question, perfectly neutral; ami with re gard to all thc other questidus of the hour, perfect ly ignorant. To do away this' ignorance; to come to some understanding of t!io temper and character of tlio people; to observe the operations of the re publican system—I thought would be but prop er, before entering into public life; and as a first step, I determined to go through thc great democratic state of Kentucky,ot the time of.riie presidential election, and thus have a view of the enlightened yeomanry of our country, when in terested and excited in the exercise of their sovereign power. It was upon a damp and uncomfortable morn ing, that I got into the stago for Lexington. Tircro were two passengers, but I could not dis cover their features in the misty twilight; ainf as conversation—beyond a growl at the delay of the ferry-boat, ortho sleepiuess of sumo post- nmstar by the wayside, or. the weakness of the burse gears;—is out ofthc question before break fast, l thought my best way was, to wrap myself iirmv cloak, and con over my plans, and hopes, and, if possible, go to sleep. I slept according ly. At th.; proper hour and place, we stopped, snatched a hasty breakfast, and again resumed our scats. I had observe I that one ofiny companions, a man with a very high shirt coiiar, to which but littlcstarcb had been used, and a bropd-brimmed white hat, had appeared a good deal agitated during breakfast, bad eyed me continually, both there and in the stage, looking as though he longed to say something to me,- but was uncer tain whether I was the right person or not, all which attention puzzled me not a little, as I was not aware tint I had overseen him before. Not a word, however,- Was addressed io me during tin; first stage a iter breakfast. Tho two gentle men on tho back scat exchanged a few pithy ob servations on the weather, the reads, and the harvest; hut my opposite friend was evidently too full of something to take any interest in gen eral matters, until tint something was off his mind. When we stopped to change horses, I jumped out and walked into the bar-room to wanu my toes; my friend of the high collar fol lowed me. I drew up a chair to the fire—lie drew up one likewise. I expected now to be ad dressed. He poked the backstick and kicked the forestick, and looked round at me. “It is cool, air,” said lie. “It is so, indeed, sir,” said b He gave another kick—looked round again; the Words were upon his lips, but he seemed unable to grve them utterance ; and clenched hi - teeth, he startodup, walked to the window, and poured a glass of whiskey from tin; decanter standing there. There was a pause; he took a turn up J thc room/hesitated a moment, and then walk ing straiglrt up to me, with % his hands in his breeches pockets, “Sir,” said lie, “do you •vote for.Jackson? “I do not, sir,” said I. Ho took another turn; when he came back, his brow was clearer, and one hand half extended; “You go then, of coarse, for Glay.” “Indeed, .1 do not, sir,” said I. He bh his lip, and plun ged his hands again into those* unknown depths. “Do you vote for Wirt, sir?” said he, with a low voice, like tl»c muttering of far off thun der. “No,” was still my answer. Ilis eyes •Opened in amazement, and it almost sacmed to T*e, horror. > “Then who, sir, in the name of all that’s strahgc, do 3-00 vote fori” “Sir,” said I, “I am not a voter.” Such a catastro phe was wholly unexpected. He stared at mo « minute, and then went for advice to the whis key-battle. “But, sir,” said he returning to the charge, “you have preferences!” “Not i.< th 1 -least. “No preferences!” “.Norn; whal er r.” “Do vou not think Jackson a despotl” “.No.” l yiot Clay an aristocrat!” “No.” “Nor Wirt a renegade and a hypocrite?”— “Not I.” Do yon belong to no party-?”— “No no.” <f Do ycu follow no loader I” “None.” “Then what—lbr the love of mercy, tell me— stance, and I arrived at Georgetown a Clay- man. But fate had determined that I should not long remain so. I was put into a rdoni at the hocei, where I found a small nian of about five feet five inches, in a blue coat and velvet collar, busily employed with an immense pile of papers. I was myself somewhat excited and •agitated with thc thought of what dangers my country had to go through, and wondered that they had n -ver occurred to ma before; and so instead of going th bed, I began to walk up and down the room; 'Sty companion like most small men, was talkative and pushing his spectacles up on liii forehead, he rubbed his eyes, and yawning observed, that ij was hard work—hard work—and very few thanks given after all.— My mind was of course of Jackson’s usurpation of which I longed for undoubted proofs; and when I heard this observation of my chuni’s, and noted the pile of written documents before him, 1 came, at once, without any tedious inter mediate steps, to die conclusion, that this was a patriot who had collected the very proofs I longed for; and with a look and emphasis that must havo spoken volumes; I exclaimed, “Sat isfy me, sir, that Jadtsun is a tyrant, and you are my friend fofever!” The man recoiled five feet from me; his spectacles fell from his narrow brow, and falling, caught upon the end of his long nose ; and ghastly seemed his small quick eyes, as they (lushed upon me over the silver rirrfs.' “A tyrant!” he shotted; “sir, he’s his country’s savior.” “He’s an usurper,” stiid I. “He’s the champion of liberty,” said lie. “He will crush our liberties' to’ tho dust,” I exclaimed. “He will build them up to heav en,” he answered; and so we might have con tinued, asserthfgand counter-asserting, all night had not some gesture of mine upset nil the little man’s papers. “There,” said he, stooping to pick them up, “are proofs, sir, urefragible proofs/ol" General'Jackson’s unspotted patri otism.” Let me be brief, for *tis too dull a Subject, I well know, to expatiate upon; we spent hours in going over those papers. They were cosclusivc—perfectly uncontrovcrtiGle; they shoe cd tbo president to be iu truth im maculate, and proved Harry Clay to be aiming at supreme .porter by the most despicable chi canery’. They informed me that the United States Bank, which I had ignorantly looked upon as a commercial institution, was,* in fac: an immense political engine.’ I wifi not go in to detail. Suffico it to say, that I became a Jackson-man in ioto. It was aglorious discov ery I bad made, but it cost me a night’s rest.— The drealn iif which I had so long lay', was bro ken; f saw,' with horror, my uaiive land, thc home ot freedom, the hope of thc World, a field of contention, where envy, jealousy and cal umny walked unmaskcdfrafad’tbe highest bid der was the best man. 1 determined, at one time, to return home; at another, to plunge into the vortex, and save m\ country from ru in. Hope, fear, despair, ruled me by turns.— At length morning came; it found me weary and haggahl. I had concluded togoon to Lex ington, tfnd took my scat in the stage. There was one passenger,—dark, slcrn and silent. My mind was full and would overflow; and what was thc consequence I The dark man was an anti mason; two hours were ample tlirie to brush away the cobwebs that had been woven, about my' brain. I saw now with other eyes;' I saw Clay and Jackson alike aiming at undue influ ence. I saw' a secret brotherhood undermining the very corner-stone of all our institutions. “Crush masonrysaid thc dark man, “and you crush* intrigue and bribery, come und -r what name it will. Smite the'root, the bidden root, and the trunk will need no blazing,-' and thc branch will rot of itself.” . 11 indu'd dt Postle^ waite’s an antimason." My health has never been very good, and the anxiety and excite ment ofthc last nvo ; dhys,"was too much for 111c. I lost my appetite’ anil niy spirits,' and my strength began to fail.' And still I heard thc hum of politics all about me. At first, each argument had appeared to me perfect; but now, that I thought of the matter, ani con sidered that each had seemed true, and only one could be true, I Was more perplexed' than ever. The result of it all, was, I had a fever.' Pol itics wen; forbidden in my presence, however, and, in time, I recovered. The election wa then over—the mental epidemic had subsided, and 1 determined to make the best of my way homo. There was a French gentleman in the coach, polite and kind, as all French gentlemen are, but who looked excessively frightened. If politics were mentioned, he moved convul sively; antf once, when I observed, in shak ing of the soils, that the country iu that neigh borhood appeared to be all clay, lie shrunk from .nc in evident alarm. 1 felt-for the (>oor man; and upon thc first opening, asked him the c.iuse ol his fears. “Sare,” said he, “I come t j Amerique to see von grande nation enjoy .to hberte. 1 look for find all broder all brodcr, all vise. In my imagination, I see von poo ls chaise, act togeder like de friend. Mais, oarblcu! I find de same fight of dose "in de •rower. I find de bribe, do quarrel, de hard vord. I go to de hotel, and, mafoi, dey say, •ia ! y r ou Jaqueson or Clay ? I get in de s*age, ind dey say ’gain, you safe, you Jaqueson or Clay ? Every where de vorry me to piece. Yli, Monsieur l you have von grande coiuitrie, •’ou have de people avee bcaucoup de forte hut vid all de libertr, I see much dat vould make me miserable. I shall go back to France are ; dere we hive von revolution, and all _ -.dl! again; here, it seems to me revolution all time, I shall go hack to France, sare, tout , -i pres." I wondered not a whit, at the poor man’s disgust. I threw to the wind, all ideas of publicity in a political way. I took td o’th or studies, other hopes, and look forward now to other prospects. National perfection I longer consider attainable; jnor desirable even The love of political onjiiipiice seems as.strange to nie«£^kmtms hejng what they afe—as the love of the sea and the ship seems strange to the landsman, who has been just far enough to feel the nausea and misery of the rocking ele inent, and whose hands have caught a flavor of tar from some rope by which he steadied him self. I have long prayed for “those that go down in ships upon the great waters;” I have now added a petition for those that afe tossed on thc sea of politics; for they arc hourly' nigh to a worse shipwreck than can ever befal ■ the honest mariner—the shipwreck of good faith THE ENFORCING BILL.

On the motion made on the 19th February, to reconsider the vote, whereby the House concur red with the Committee of the NVhoIc, on an a- mendnieiit laying a duty of two cents per pound on imported. Cotton. . Mr. E. Everett said, he should vote against the reconsideration. He should vote against reduc ing the fluty on imported cotton, for tho same reason that he had voted, and should continue tu vote, against reducing the duty ou imported cot ton fabrics. Jn fact, the same general principles applied, with a great degree of similarity iu tho. two cases. NVheu the proiectiug duty on cotlou fabrics was laid, in 1816, that duty was not in tended for the benefit ot the manufacturer alone: the interest of the planter was also consulted.— This has been controverted 011 this floor; hut I know it to he true. I do not pretend to speak of the motives of the Southern members who voted for the minimum duty on cotton in 1816, (a duty avowedly asked for a prohibitory duty,) bur l know that the manufacturers, who petitioned for that duty, urged, iu favor of it, that its effect Aoufd be to shut oot a foreign material, as well as a for eign manufacture. In tho memorial of the man ufactures., of cotton, in Massachusetts, iu 1815.it is said that— “The articles, whose prohibition tve pray for, are made of very inferior materials, and aremau- ulacturcdin a thantier calculated to deceive rath er than to serve the consumer. No part ofthc United States enters into their composition.— They arc the work of foreign hands on a foreign material. Yet arc they thrown it:to this country in such abundance, as to threaten the exclusion of its more useful aud substantial manufacture*.— They injuriously affect tho industry, not only of the manufacturing, but of tho agricultural States, and they cause a continual drain of specie. The ; prohibiting their importation, except for exporta tion, would, we apprehend, be attended with sal utary effects upon tiie cultivators and manufactu- ers of tho staple for the South.” , In the report of the Committee of Commerce L trail Manufactures, at the same sessiou of Con gress at which this duty was laid, it was ex pressly stated, that would be oue of thc benefi cial results of fostering the cotton manufacture in tills country, .that it would increase the con sumption for American cotton. Nothing is there fore more certain, than that, at the period when the protecting duty was laid, it was intended, as one object, to sliut out India cotton, in the form of the fabric ; and the Reasons of policy which con nected the two objects then exist now. But I have other reasons for not disturbing this duty on cotton. Its history entitles it-to respect. It is a curious history, and less kuonu than it ought to be. The gentleman, from New \orl>. Air. Cambreleng, thoroughly acquainted as lie u with all these matters, had asked whether there j was, by tho existing laws, any duty on forcijn colton imported., l.tvill.lhcrefore recall the man ner in which.ibis duty was laid, to tiie rccollcc tiou of the House. Tho manufacture of cotton is as old as the ear liest settlements of America ; not, of course. tS ^ manufacture ia mills; and with machinery, (which is an invention of the laJt sixty years,) but the ; householdman’ufarture. Nine tenths of the pop* i ulation.gf’ the country, .not merely the poorest | portion ofthc inhabitants, but the substantial je®" cl irfanry, was from the first clothed in hornespt^ Cotton fabrics,;it is true, were much less "p r:! then than at the prescut day; sheeting andshtw a ings of that, material were much less used; bn* ■ various articles ofclothing were made of cotton* ,| and of cotton and woollen mixed, besides its use in other parts of domestic economy. Just the adoption of the constitution, colton mills tver established iu .Massachusetts, Rhoda Island, V ' 1 ,® neeticut, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania* ‘ : J_ perhaps in other States. They - were aided ] State bounties, by tho efforts of patriotic assoc**' tions, aud byduties lain by tho t'tatcs, upon t ‘ importation of colton fabrics. Such was tbesia. 1 of things when the Constitution went iuto °pf- ation in 1789; there was a very extensive boa* hold manufacture of cotton, and the uiauuf acU1 '' with machinery was daily increasing. . , Now, what was doue by the first revenue ’^ passed under the Constitution ? Cotton ® s aI *a material was left in the hill, as it went throve the House of representatives, among the tree “ tides. Though a little had beeu raised in ' "j of the Southern States, it was uot known ^ staple product, nor as an article of exportation all the cotton used in the couutry, for ^ or other manufacture, (except iu the im |lie ‘^ neighborhood of those spots where the 5 , quantity alluded to was produced,) was > n ’l’ ed from the West Indies and the Spanish * As the bill passed the House of Represent* the foreigu raw material for clothing wasailo" E
