John I*. A an Ness presiding, unanimously and en thusiastically adopted these resolutions: Resolved, That the American people be called upon to ucite in erecting at the seat of the federal government, a suitable monument to the memory of the Hero, Patriot und Sage, w hose recent loss the nation still deplores, to go down to our most distant posterity, as a record of the great man’s glory, and of his country’s gratitude and grief. licsoh'cd, That a collossal equestrian statue, in imperishable bronze, is deemed the most suit able ibr (lie purpose, to transmit to future cen turies the features and form on which the en nuis of the republic will teach each new suc ceeding generation to look with on ever-renew ed love and reverence, and an ever-renewing ambition to emulate bis noble deeds and nobler virtues. Resolved, That, for the purpose of raising by voluntary subscription the requisite sum, a ccntial committee of thirteen be appointed, which shall proceed forthwith to organize the necessary measures for the collection of such subset jption, by whom a monthly publication of the same shall be made, and the money secure ly invested; and Resolved, That, as General Jackson’s own most trusted and beloved friend and the selected inheritor of his papers and guardian of his fame, Francis P. Blair be ap pointed treasurer. licsolvcd, That the fol'owing citizens consti tute said committee of thirteen, with power to supply vacancies in their own number; and, af ter the completion of the subscription, to direct and superintend the execution of the proposed work: Cave Johnson, Francis P. Blair, Thom as Ritchie, Amos Kendall, John P. Van Ness, John C. Rives, William A. Harris, Jesse E. Daw, Benjamin B. French, John \V. Maury, Charles K. Gardner, James Hoban,*and Chas. P. Sengstack. The committee, on whom devolves the exe cution of the high trust designated by their fel low-citizens of Washington, led confident that its fulfilment is not more earnestly desired by their immediate constituents than by the great mass of the American people. A collossal equestrian statue in imperishable bronze, preseming to the eyes of all future gen erations the Hero und the Patriotaes lie lived, exhibiting the features, the person, the apparel, the attitude, and almost the action, which be longed to him at the moment of rendering the highest service to bis country has always been looked upon by the free and the noble-minded people of every age, as the best bequest they could give their descendants. In such a model, the virtues to which the republic atiribu'.es its greatness are, in some sort, cnduringly personi fied; and the posthumous honor which imparts an immortal presence in tbe midst of his coun trymen to one great benefactor, gives birth to the patriotic emulation which, through succeed ing ages, multiplies aspirants to a kindred tame. It is not only, then, the national gratitude, but a just sense of the public interests, a wise care of the national glory, which erects lasting monuments to commemorate the citizens who devote themselves to the service of the t(.-pub lic. The Congress of great men, who contribu ted to found the free government we enjoy, de creed an equestrian statue to Washington, as the man most worthy of the renown of our glo rious revolution. It was to hand him down to the remotest posterity in his military character, in the' lineaments and habiliments which he wore when lie achieved the independence of his country, that the congress voted a /nonumt n. which should present the general as he appear ed on the scene of his greatest exploits. At that time the fine arts had not attained a maturi ty in our country, adequate to execute worthily the design. Now, American sculptors have arisen, from whom Europe borrows the power to eternize the features of her illustrious men; and hence the last Congress took the firs^step towards the accomplishment cf the resolution for the construction of the equestrian statue to Washington, 'flic gratitude and honor of the nation imperiously demand tfic full and imme diate execution of the work*, which circumstan ces have already too long delayed. If our countrymen should also decree an equestrian monument to the patriotic chief “who shed his stripling blood in the revolution,” and who clos ed the last war for the maintenance of his coun try’s independence in a blaze of glory*only less brilliant than that which achieved that indepen dence at Yotk Town, it would be equivalent to an instruction to tho approaching Congress to consummate the movement of the last session; and tlie nation may be gratified by witnessing the elevation of fitting memorials to (lie heroic who conquered liberty for his country, and to him who preserved it. Such tributes, offered sponianeously from the national heart to the im mortal dead, are the highest meed of public hon or for the highest desert of public service, and wisely to be encouraged on proper occasions, as the bequest of one age to another, mid one of the best means of perpetuating the silent, but deep and pervading moral power of the charac ters and examples of the country’s worthiest and greatest sons. It is proposed to build the monuments to Washington and Jackson uL tlie seat of govern ment, for the reason that this city is tho city of the Union, ceded to it by the States, as the point which concentrate the representatives of llio States and the American people, and of foreign governments, and is calcul tied, by associating with it the forms of illustrious patriots, to add i residences, and occupation of subscribers, and | of the amount subscribed, and the original lists I transferred in stereotype, or inscribed on some permanent material, will be perpetuated in con nection with the monument. It is the intention of the commitleeto invest in some secure funds the sums received in the progress of the subscription; so much of the ac cruing interest on which, as may be necessary, will be dedicated to procure the execution of fine engravings of the statue for the subscribers —none of which engravings shall be disposed of in any other way. No compensation will be received by any of the committee—not even by the treasurer or secretary—lor their services- Agents author ized to obtain subscriptions and make collec tions will be allowed a reasonable percentage, to be settled by agreement; and a clerk, who will devote his time to the labor of keeping the accounts, and in effectuating the correspon dence of the committee with all parts of the Union, will receive a compensation dependent on the surplus accruing from tlie interest on the funded collections. It is the fixed determina tion of the committee that not one cent of the amount collected (reaching the treasurer) shall bo diverted from the object for which it is given. And to effect this, adequate secuiity will be ta ken to make safe the funds, wherever lodged; and publicity will be given, in quarterly or semi annual statements, of every matter touching the concern, for the satisfaction of subscribers. v All the agents of this committee will be fur nished with a letter of appointment signed by the chairman aud members of the committee, and countersigned ty their clerk, with seal an nexed. No person who cannot produce such a commission is to be recognised as authorized by after he has wrought it into goods, he can bring I A De.wcr.it in Italy.—Mr. Albinola of those goods which we all need, with the enhanc- this city, a native of A.ustra or Italy, and an ed value his labor has conferred on them, and adopteJ citizen of die United States, visited ag;UQ.-barter them tor the raw material, or sell [ Leghorn a month ago, but die government All who may prefer to do so, may remit the amount of their subscriptions directly to the chairman of the committee—a course which is earnestly recommended to all the friends of the enterprise, inasmuch as it will save the expen ses incident to collection.

To fulfil the duty intrusted to them by the cit izens of Washington, the committee will appeal, through authorized.agents in every section of the country, to each patriotic and libera] minded j citizen of the Union. Subscriptions may be made to aay amount; ! and it is hoped that an adequate sum may he obtained, if no subscription exceed one hundred i dollars; but as there may be some mistake in our j calculation, it is also to he hoped that no mail of large means, and of a liberal spirit will cor,- | sider himself limited in the amount ofbiscontri- j bution by this suggestion. The smallest con- | tribulion will be received, even -‘ihe widow’s mite;” for the country will feel more pride in the multitude of hearts engaged in this work, than in the amount of money. As an acknow ledgment to subscribers, and as a check on all concerned in the collection of subscriptions, a monthly publication will be made of the names, From, the Floridian. THE TARIFF. I attempted in my last number to exhibit the monstrous inequalities of the present tariff* law, which Mr. Cabell so highly approves of. L might go on to show how careful the manu facturing interests have been to secure them selves m this same law from all imposition of taxes. Tiiu lot lowing articles used by the manufacturers, come in under this tariff free of duty :—Models of Machinery, berries and nuts,used in dyeing; all dye-woods, barrilla and Brazil wood, bur stones, unwrought coch ineal, Madder, Sumac, <J*c. Why these ex emptions in favor of tlie Manufacturer, when every one of the prime uccesstries of life, on the part of him that works tlie soil, is taxed to the very highest point ? If tbe tarff really cheapen goods, why is it that tlie manufactu ring interest, have managed to have all these ar ticles use! exclusively by themselves admitted duty free ? Let reason unswer. I propose now, as concisely as possible, to discuss the policy of a discriminating tariff, and show its evil bearings, not only on the agricultural interests of the South, but upon the prosperity of commerce and trade, through out the worlJ. The present tariff is so high on every article of heavy or cheap domestic coiton.goods, as to close our ports generally to their entrance ;- tho South-being the principal cotton growing country of the wot Id, is of course deeply interested in the trade -which opens to them a fine and profitable market for the raw material, entering into their composi tion ; if we therefore shut«out the manufactures of any foreign nation from pur ports by a pro hibitory tax, we not only leave them with un sold goods on their hands, but we diminish their means of buying of us, and compel them eith er to turn their industry into some oilier chan nel, or to resort to shorter hours of labor, and to the making of finer fabrics, and those requir ing a less amount of the raw material; or it may be that the Manufacturers of England, when driven from our markets by our prohibi tory duties, and finding no other great market for their fabrics, may be compelled to abandon their workshops aud engage tlieir artizans and workmen in the labors of agriculture or oilier branches of industry. And thus we stir up a rivalry with ourselves, for ibe cultivation of the earth is susceptible of iildefinite improve ment, and there is hardly a spot that may not be improved by the application of that science which is daily shedding light on this fiist and great branch of industry. When wp close the factories in England, we contract the market of our great staple, we impoverish a class of our customers, so that they cau’t buy of us as formerly. And we go further; wo transform them into competitors of our dfcvn craft, and sharpen their invention to devise means of do ing without us. Again, whoa we prohibit the importation of foreign goods, we make it more expensive to send our produce abroad. ''When the vessels which carry out our exports are permitted to bring back cargoes in return, the expenses are equally divided between the im ports aud the exports ; but when we export and do not import, as is the case to a considerable extent under the present law, the whole ex penses of shipment fall on our exports, and this is one reason of .tlie great decline in our stopic commodities. But ihe evil .that lies at the bottom, and that works the disastrous re sults to the South that we witness, are tbe shackles and chains with which trade is fettered in every way. It should be left free, like the waters of the valley, and to seek its own level. Where barter and exchange of one commodi ty for another can he more profitably made, there it is the interest of the tradesman to re pair, and there will the profits of trade uner ringly direct him. But unless the foreign trades man can be admitted into our markets with his commodities, how is he to purchase our Cotton 1 His merchandize is his money ; he can afford to give us high nticcs for our raw inetcrial, if» them to our merchants, and with the proceeds enter our cotton markets for purchase. This Would give animation and open up a wide and enlarged market for our staple, and the South could again lift herself from the dust. So much for the South, her prospects and her rights. Let us consider the humbug of Equal- Protection to all tlie pursuits of Agri culture, Commerce, and Manufactures, If discrimination is resorted to, (as is the case in the present instance, and contended for by Mr. Cabell) it must be for the protection of that peculiar branch of industry in whose favor it has been made; it must result in a bonus to that interest, That bonus must be derived from some other class of operations. If you put money into the pockets of one class, vou must of necessity take it out of the pockets of another. Here then arises a question in politi cal economy of very difficult solution indeed. Tlny-e is no creative or self constituting power in the law that will call money into existence, and thus add intrinsic or relative- value to ex isting commodities. This would be a super human attribute, to which legislation, however ingeniously devised, can lay no claim. Price can only bo regulated safely, by the ordinary operations ofsupply and demand. If you im pose 50 per cent on the laborer’s cotton trow- sors for the benefit of the manufacturer, the la borer must pay it. This then is 50 per cent gone from him, and how is lie to be protected lo the sime extent, unless the law discrimi- nates in his fuvor in some other way; and when | he gets it buck it must come from the manu facturer, for though there may be half a dozen different branches of industry protected, it will [ be necessary for the purpose of equal justice, that each branch yield the same amount of in tcrest to his neighbor that lie had raised, and thus after taking the round, each receiving a bonus, and eacii yielding its equivalent, what would be gained by either? Just nothing. It is therefore absurdly ridiculous to talk a- bout equal protection to all, through tbe agen cy of a discriminating tariff, for, to carry it out in good faith, which could never have been intended by any, it would be necessary to- lay to protect this class at the expense of another, and to-morrow to refuse it by an inversion of tlie same progress. This would indeed be the rolling of the stone of Sisyphus without attain ing any vational result, No sir, it is a cunningly devised scheme to plunder tho South, and while the rainbow of hope is held to our view, the work of disappoint ment is busy in our pockets. Can any doubt tlie fact? Contrast the condition of the North and the South. See the current of our wasting prosperity bowing into tlieir midst. Look at iter bleak rocks and foreign shores, once aban doned to tlie sjffcitude of nature, now bloom ing like the rose. See her thrifty villages, state ly mansions, costly public edifices aud magnif icent works of public taste and improvement, now springing up in their miffst and beautifying a country so lately adorned by tlie bramble and wildwood. See her river, canals and lakes, covered with a prosperous commerce, and eve ry rocky streamlet alive with the clutter ofma- chiuery, and the hum of busy life, and then ‘turn your eye to the once prosper ous and happy South. ‘‘With dust on her forehead and chains on her feet,” her industry paralyzed, her energies cramped her labor valueless, and say if this vast reversion is the result of indolence on our part, superior ity on theirs, or the operation of unwise and oppressive laws. None can doubt the cause. And this must continue to be the sad effect, un til the South awakes again to a sense of her humiliating condition, and rises from ITer tor- paid slumbers and level thqsp barriers to free exchange, and open, as far as may be in her power, every port to every product. “This is the office of enlightened humanity. To tin--, a free nation should especially pledge itself, and under a wise and more Christian civ ilization, we shall look back on our present restrictions as wc do on the swadling bonds by which in darker times, the human body was compressed.” YOUNG DEMOCRACY. MATERNAL INFLUENCE. Timothy Dwight and Aaron Burr were first cousins—their mothers being daughters of tlie elder Jonathan Edwards. The mother ofDwight lived to educate and train her son, and to enjoy the rich fruits of watchful care, the mother of the latter, together with his fath er, an excellent and exemplary man, died while he was young. Thus early bereft of paternal guidance, Burr, with liia high intellectual capacities, entered upon a course which lias made his name a (er ror both in the social and political world. Few men, perhaps, ever attained to his enormity of crime: fewer still have experienced, more ful ly, the miseries whiuh are the inevitable result ofa career of sensuality and lust. ■•Reft of hi* sire, too young such a loss to know— Lord of himself, that lieritaga of woe.” his evil propensities early acquired the mas tery over his moral powers, and he fell, even in tho meridian of his days, a wretch, a moral ruin, over which were shed a nation’s tears, and over whose memory, withered though it be bv the pestilence of mighty vices, Christianity will long mourn “As o’er the grave one whom God endowed With powers noble, and for noble ends ; But who, in sin, conceived a mighty crime, Aud iell—no more to rise-—” As a contrast to the late of Burr we ma}' pre sent that ofDwight, In the language ofa terse and beautiful writer—“He became eminently successful in extending the beauties of learning and religion, which he loved, and left behind him a noble monument of piety and genius in his written works. Who can say but that, if Mrs. Burr had lived to watch over and pray with her son, these highly gifted youth might have pursued the same narrow path, and they might have been equally useful in the earth, ana equally happy in the heavens.” “Mothers ! though your children may not possess mental endowments ol so high an or der, with which to bless or curse mankind, hon or or offend God, elevate or degrade them- selves, yet they do possess souls as precious, for whose salvation the same blood has been spared, they are as much dependent on you for their guidance aright, and you are as deep ly responsible to God as were those mothers, fertile manner in which you discharge the sa cred trust. Oh, are you indivi lually prepared with reference to your children, to obey the summons, “Give an account of your steward ship, fur thou mayest no longer be steward!” owed him an old grudge for his liberal opinions, ordered him to leave the country. Our consul at Leghorn,, who is nut American, says of the affair-:— “ Albinola deceives himself greariv if he thinks lam willing.to.interest liiinselffor him to remain in Tuscany, but I will not do it. The government has a right to expel him from its territory. lie is an evil disposed person (cattivo soggetto.) He is a fanatical liberal democrat. Last year, 1841, lie came to Tus cany commissioned by a dangerous society. Perhaps he may have come this year too, for the same object. It is better to send him off’.’’ In the name of our country, we. call on tlie United Slates Government to dismiss this Con sul forthwith, lie is a disgrace to the It pub lic, and if we ca-nnot employ Americans lo rep resent us abroad, it would be quite as well to dismiss our consuls altogether and let our citi zens take care of themselves.—Phiadelphia Keystone.

The recent seizure by the French and occn. pation of various islands in the Pacific and oth er seas, shows a determination not to be behind the English in the acquisition ql important points for commerce and colonization. In the Island of Madagascar they have succeeded in gaining a foothold in a very quiet way. 1 he first French establishment was made in the northern part of the Island, ill a bay called British Sound. This bay is narrow in the en trance, easily defensible, and capable of mining all the fleets in the world project was long premeditated, may he gather ed from the circumstance that troops were col lected gradually and in small numbers from the adjacent settlements, mr.il tbe garrison was strong enough to set the natives at defiance.— Madagascar is an extensive Is.and, ol fine cli mate and great fertility.

In Monday’s paper we gave an anecdote ol the eccentric physician Dr. Mounsey taken . from tlie newly published work, “Physic and | Physicians.” The following fn.m :!u same \ amusing production may excite u laugh from soma'of our readers. In the year 16GQ an old physician by the name of Cadugui flourished. His medical | fame increase! very slow, and being i:i some-. : what indifferent circumstances, he married a wealthy old lady over whose fortune he bad an entire control. Like most mercantile marria ges, it was not of the happiest kind. The la dy had a suspicion on her mind, that tbe doc tor wou’d one day poison her with his physic in order to get her out ofhis way, and reeling ill on one occasion, she exclaimed that she was poisoned. “Poisoned !’ said the doctor to u number of his friends who were present, • how can that possibly he ? Whom do you accuse of the crime?” “You,” replied the indignant wife. “Gentlemen,” said the doctor with con siderable nonchalance, “it is perfectly false.— You are quite welcome to open her at once, and you will then discover the calumny !” Dr. Fothergill was a celebrated physician of London who began to practice in the year 17-10, of great skill, much charity, and peculiar gravity of character. Just before li is death, a gentleman of Cumberland an intompciate man, possessed of few Christian virtues, applied to the doctor for advice. Fotherg.li who knew the character of the man, but choose to conceal his knowledge, inquired- what was iiis ailment, to wh:ch the patient repl ed, be was very well in health eat well, an I slept weil, but wished to know haw he might he guarded aga’nst sud den snaps. The venerable physician, feeling a supreme contempt for so dissolute and aban doned a character gave him a prescription fur bis.complaint, ii the following deserved re proof; 'Do justice, love tntrci/, tea Pi humbly ■ with thy Cud, and do not snap the buttle too often." It is related also of Dr. Fo.hergill, that he was likely to be prevented from finishing his toilette, one Sunday owing to the non appear ance of tlie barber » circumstance which brought on the fidgets. A friend who was by, observ ing his disquietude, remarked “(hat his servant Emanuel could shave him.” The doctor with the fire and quickness which sometimes over came him, hastily replied, “It thou menn‘>t to preserve authority in thy house, never suffer a servant to take ihec by tiic nose.” Dr. George Cheyno was another English physician i-.t rather extensive practice, and who died in 1743. Amongst his patients wore the celebrated Beau ixash, who, on being asked one day by Che d in t if lie had followed lii.-i last gative adding, nly have broke a two pair of n, repn If I bil l, doctor, I sir mv neck, for 1 threw stairs window.” A lady whose fondness for generous living, had given her a flushed face and a c irbuneled J hat the I nose, consulted Dr. Cheyno.
