P ELISII-4.W. CHESTER.
Cincinnati, March 39, 1833.
The nullifiers for the sake of the political ob
jects of their leadertJ^M conceal from the hon
est and deluded people, the fact, that Mr. Clay
declared it to he his strongest motive for enter-
in„into:lHin^ie«itent, that.he foresaw at tin*
oelct session the South would'get all it asked.
Were the nullifiers td "confess that if the v had
u nited until tltc coining of the new Congre ss
thev would have, .obtained tbe same gr-V,ual
e j„ f d6» ttfthe tartlTtinrloggod by tha ] lnr d
ctmrMio** imposed bv hi.". Clay, in t\ ie cash
duties the home valuation—and th ! increase
the dttlv or. coarse woollens from. 5 to 50 per
cent., what would tbe planters say to tbeir Rep
resentatives who wero in bucJi haste to make
sit'-: iftres al the shrine of a political coalition ?
And especially, trlten they \jind thamselves in
■sharkles to adhere to the t erms however willing
a suhxqnnil Congress may be, to make the
adjustment more favorite and when the adjust
mit that lie never would have mediated to
stern tranquillity to the country, had lie
sect! that ‘‘the torch was about to be apnlied
to his favorite edifice.”
But our particular motive in referring to th
speech, is to call public attention to a v^ry im
portant question raised by Air. Clay. - It
whether die cotton minimums are -jported
his bill? lie tells us that—
I11 the instance ol die cotton minimums, the
statute haying by wayof exertion to.the gen
eral ad valorem rule, declare, in certain cases
now the value shall be osf jutted, that statu to
by
to which cottons 'generally are liable ; r and the
biennial tenths^ should be subtracted from the
exmrss offiy e pcr ccnt .
I his d ,srJ| 0Sure 0 f j\j r- CJ a y w iJt be worm
wood to Jir. Calhoun, Air, McDuffie, an
t hen* a^sdeiates. It will be galling to them to
Ticpver, after all the battles that have been
•on.ght between South Carolina and Massachu
setts on this very ground, and after they have
thrown away tlieit arms, that whether design
edly or not, they have been betrayed by tbeir
new ally, arid-that tiie tariff question is precise
ly where tbe contracting parties found it.—Con
gress wjjl ho doubt enquire whether cottons
are to bo excepted in a bill applying to “all
cases where.duties are imposed on forpigu imr
ports by tha act of the' 1-lth of Julj; T832, or
by any other act,” and decide whether any
portion of tho act shall bo so construed as to
contradict its express language and whole ten'

ally for ten years, making the enormous ag-
of reduction until after the next Congress shall
have been convened, whereas the increase on
the woolens begins, as we understood it, before
an v rediirtinn takes nlarrs. Thus Air. Calhoun
has buTfttined for an immediate increase of du- gregale of 5 per cent, ou merchandise

AIR. CLAY AND TIIF. TARIFF. ..
We find in a late Intelligencer a revised odi-
tionofMr. Clay’s speech upon tbe Tariff, in
cluding several remarks made on “other orn-
sions” in tho cours6 of tho same debate. We
are much mistaken if this prepared, version
does not contain some new and important mat
ter—there is erfainiv one point which must
unsettle the tariff question and moderate the
transports of his new allies in the South. Bp-i
fore we allude to ihnt, we m-s*. notice the verv
explicit manner in which M r. Cbv declares
kind to suppose that he would knowingly de
ceive ftis new jliiesj or designedly keep to him
self an opinion, winch, if suund, would have-
been unquestionably fatal to the bill. It is
more charitable to beliCvbj that; in his anxiety
to recall his manufacturing friends, he has,
sinco the adjournment of the South Carolina
Convention, sent this discovery abroad . a
peace-offering. However, this may be, he 11
fiu^ opened u fruitful s urce of future contro
versy, broken bis compact with the nullifiers,
and placed them- in a predicament still more
awkurd t an the bue bom which they were
evidently so happy uvea cape. Wc shall be a-
mused to sec now titis curious and important
his motives for introducing l-.'ts compromise bill. 1 .• . .. n . .
He laments that his xyster, cannot stand, and V'" sUo "' v " .*»> «djus cd between thehtgh con-
. _ . n,,M tr irtin.r h.irllPC mi/f i)1 trhal wav All* f 1 nllws..n
that tbe President and People of the United
Slates are determined fa have revenue dutrs.
We cannot, however, »’,o better than to give his
own words—Hesavs ; ;
“I 'wont to be perfectly understood as to tbe
, motives wliirh have prompted hae to offer this
I measure. T repeat what I said on the intro
duction of it,'.hat they are, first to preserve
the mamifaevuring interest, and, secondly, to
quiet the Qountrv. I believe tbe Amcriron
system to be in the greatest dancer; ami I be
lieve it ran be placed on a safer and hetief
foundation at this session, .than at the next. I
heard, with surprise, mv friend from Massa
chusetts sav ihnt nothin" had orcured within
tiie last six months to increase its- hazard. I
entreat him to review that opinion. Is it cor
rect ? I ? the issue of numerous elections, inclu
ding that of tbe highest officer of tbe Govern
ment, nothing? Is the explicit recommends
tion of that officer, in his message at tho open
ing of the session, sustained, as he is, hv a, re
cent triumphant election, nothing? Is his dec-
inration in his proclamation, that tiie burdens
of the South ought to be relieved, nothing? Is
the introduction of a bill into the House of
Representatives during this session, sanctioned
by the head of the tretbairv and the ndministra
tion, prostrating the sreaier part of the manu
facturers of the country, nothing? Are the in
creasing discontents nothing? Is tho tenden-
• cy of recent events to unite the whole South,
nothing?”
He caudidly admits, that although he thinks
a majority of tbe people are in favor of pro-
tecthm—lie is “induced to believe this almost
against evidence. Two States in New Eng
land which had been in favor of tho system,
have recently conte out. against it. Other
States of the North nnd the East have shown
a remarkable indifference to its preservation.
I<, indeed, they have a wish to preserve it,
they have, nevertheless placed the. powers of
Government in hands which ordinary informa
tion must have assured them were rather a ha
zardous depositary.
He sees nothing but danger ahead, and ruin
,n confiding in tbe next Congress. “In this
body,” says he, “wc lose three friends of tho
protective policy, without, bejpg purc of gaining
one. Here, judging from present appearan
ces, we shall, at the next session, bo in the
minority. In the House it is notorious that
•here is a considerable accession to tbe miinber
°ft e dominant party. IIow,' then, I..ask, is
tlm system to be sustained against numbers, a
gainst the whole weight of tlio administration,
•gainsttho united South, and against increas
ed impending danger of civil war ?
He then continues
trading parties, and iu what way Air. Calhoun
and his friends will explain it to tho people of
South Carolina. .
Mr.'Ci.fy winds up his speech in quite a re
signed and.philosophic strain. Ho is tired of
the tariff' and wishes “to see it separated front
the politics of the country”—he proposes tri re
tire to tbe “groves, shades, lawns, flocks and
herds” of Ashland—calmly to moralise on “in
fidelity and in gratitude,” and 10 denounce of
fice, ‘*«jveti the ino-t exalted,” as.no better than
“a prison in which the incarcerated incumbent
daily receives his cold, heartless visitants, and
marks his weary hours.” In this resigned tone
he takes leaves of his audience, declaring that
“he is no candidate for any office in the gift of
the people of these States”—that lie “never
wishes—never expects to be.” Tbe sceptic
may “doubt thdttiiii^un doth shine”—but who
will dare 10 doubt that Air. Clay is about to a-
b.iudon the toils of ambition, aud to seek repose
iu too shades of philosophic retirement.—-V. Y'

WALTER SCOTT,
We were shown the other day, while in Eden-
burgh, the whole of Sir Walter Scott’s poetry iu
manuscript, exactly as it escaped from.the hand
of the author—a sight which interested us n.et a
little. His method of composition seems to have
been prodigiously rapid ; iu gcncralj jig. was sat
isfied with a first draft, and yet the corrections
are the reverse of numerous. Virgil, it is said,
deemed it best to pour forth a hundred extempo
raneous verses, and then spend the day in cor
recting them; but Sir Walter Scott lacked pa
tience for.this species of drudgery; the pen iu
his hand, lie literally, .improvised,- aud his com
mand of language, great as, it was, scarcely kept
pace with the extraordinary fertility of his imag
ination. All his poems were written in frag
ments on sheets of letter paper, and despatched
by post to his friend. Air. Jaules BuHnutyue. In
looking over Marmion; we discovered that near
ly tile whole of it had been composed la I.ondou,
and that tho letters containing the early cantos
were franked by the Duke of Hamilton and the
Earl of Aberdeen. Near to the conclusion, a
simple remark made by Air. Ballantyno, while
forwarding proof, elicited ou tho spur of the mo

Machine for making Fins.—Some further re-r
flections are suggested by the preceding analysis,
but it may be couvcnicnl previously to plat 0 be
fore the reader a brief description of a machine
for making pins, invented-by uu American. It is
highly ingenious iu point of contrivance, and, iu
respect to its economical principles, will furnish
a stroug aud interesting contrast with tho maun
fa*Turo of pins by the human hand. In this ma
chine, a cod of brass, wire is placed 0:1 an axis;
one cud Of Ulo ivirC is drawn by a pair of rollers
through a small bole iu a plate of steeli and is
held there by forceps. As soon as the machine
ts put in aettou—. ■ - 1 ;
1. The forefcps draws the wire onto a distance
equal iu lrugth to one pin: n cutting edge of
steel then descends -closo to the hole through
which the wire entered, aud severs a piece equal
in lsugtii to one pin.
2. 'I ho forceps holding tho wire moves on un
til itbriugs the wire into the eeutro of tho chuck
of a small lathe, which opeiis to receive it.—
Whilst tire forceps retunt to. fctcli another piece
of wire, tho lathe revolves rapidly,- ailil grinds'the
projecting end of the wire upou a steel mill which
advances towards it. . -,
3. After this first, or coarse pointing, the-lathe
stop Si aiid another forceps takes hold of the half
pointed pin, (which is instantly relieved by the
opeuiug ofthe chuck,) and conveys it to a similar
chuck of another lathe, which receives it, and fiu-
ishus the pointing ou afiucrsteei mill.
4. This mill again stops, aud another forceps
removes the pointed piu into a pairof strong steel
clauis, having ajynall groove iu them by which
they hold tlife pin very futoijy- A par of this
groove, which terminates at that edge,of the s ' ,uc 1 ,u
steel clams which is intended to form the' head of
tho pin, is made conical. A small rtmtid Steel
punch is uow driven forcibly against the end of
the wire thus clamped, and 1I10 head of tlio pin is
partially formed by pressing tlio wire into the
conical cavity.
5. Another pair of forccp; now removes tiie
piu to another pair of clams, and the head of the
piu is completed by a blow from a second punch,
the.end of which is slightly concave. Each pair
of forceps returns as suou as it has delivered iu
burthen; aud thus, there are always five pieces
of wire at the sama moment, iu different stages of
advance towards a finished piu. The pins so
formed are received into a tray; and whitened,

Tho italiau 1’riuce. to whom she is married, might

Tnc Minister enters into a labored vindication
of the course which the Dutch Government had
taken, and assigns the reasons which have rende

which the two other powers have sought to iui

“Tho simple uud.succmct detail which his just

Government of tiie Netherlands since the begin

the following remark, which we find in tho re

ffie London Monthly Magazine :—“The great
est and most consumato order of perfuct in

reasoning faculties arc combined J each carried*
to ist height:—the one inspired, the other reg
ulated, by its companion.” Tin's - - se’i|once
ought to be read and weighed by; those btfrreri
souls, who sneer at the highest qualities of the
human mind, and endeavour strenuously to in
culcate the idea, that a vivid understanding is
an evil, and stupidity a virtue. This class of
pseudo logicians,—happily small, and of little
influence,—-f they • could make their views

sat uppn with great assiduity; and batched al

erated trom the shell, this furious stepmother
would scarcely allow any person to approach
the wooden box in which the chickens were
hatched, and to which they retired whenever
they'chose; and no dog or cat could approach
them without bging furiously assailed by tiie
indignant- Inhabitant. This bird had ano
ther singular faculty: it used to roll up a round
brill of dirt, on which it usually stood, instead
of standing with its feet flat on tnc grofind; ,and
there is a portrait painted of its standing iri its
favorite position on the ball of dirt. Its fury-
surpassed that of the common hen whilst the
chickens were youag, but gradually abated as
they grew older; and I have seen some full
grqwn fowls of its own hatching with it jn tiie
garden, feeding and living together.
