contained in the new bill, when such a propo. sition would not have been eagerly embraced, and the controversy settled for ever. And this for the plainest reason in the world, because it would have been regarded as a concession eminently beneficial to the manufacturers, by recognizing and establishing the principle of protection, by repealing the duties impos. ed for revenue, and, leaving, almost untouched the duties imposed for protection; by leaving the south subject to its burdens, and the north in the enjoyment of its bounties, by taking off the taxes from articles of luxury, consumed chiefly by the rich and on which the duties operated every where alike, and throwing the whole burthens of the government upon those very articles on which the tariff States receive in bounty more than they pay in taxes, the veTy articles too which are the fruits chiefly of southern industry, and which are brought into competition with the manufactures of the north. In estimating the value of the concession which is supposed to have been made by the new bill, it seems to be entirely forgotten, that from the fall of prices which have taken place since 1828, in order to bring down the specific dur ties to as low a rate as was fixed by that act, at Being $8,829,234 more than the ordinary exthe time it was passed, a very considerable re- penses of the Government.

We have seen that, in April 1824, Eaton believed that the contest would be between Crawford and Jackson, and that he wrote to Mr. Simpson as follows:

"I am your very obed't serv, "ANDREW JACKSON." And on the 6th of September, Mr. Lewis wrote to Mr. Simpson: .

Mr. Adams,"

On the 6th of September, Lewis wrote to Mr. Simpson

On the 5th of October, Lewis says:

On the 20th of September, he wrote a letter, intended to counteract the "Jesse Benton pamphlet," which was published in the Columbian Observer, of which he says:

"Permit me to suggest the propriety of not being too severe on Adams and his friends. I have no doubt, if Adams cannot be elected himself, that he would prefer the election of Gen. Jackson to that "If I had calculated on its being published, I of any other person.

On the 18th of August, Gen. Jackson wrote
Mr. Simpson:

This letter we are told, by a friend of Gen. Jackson, who quotes Mr. Balch as his authority,

These extracts all show, that up to the peri-tion to me." od when it was ascertained that Mr. Adams, and not Mr. Crawford, was the competitor of Gen Jackson, Gen. Jackson's partisans were directed to assail Mr. CRAWFORD, as the "PRINCE OF INTRIGUERS;" but then, on the 24th December, 1824, Mr. Lewis wrote to Mr. Simpson:

"Enclosed to General Jackson, with a suggestion that Calhoun ought or might be dropped, and Clinton taken up. In a few days "CRAWFORD's friends cannot believe that he General Jackson called on Mr. Balch, and restands any chance of success. I have no doubt turned the letter of Crawford, stating to Balch they fed pretty sore.

into their wounds," and the reader will be repaid for the task of reviewing, with us, some of the steps which converted such bitter enemies into bosom friends.

Under date of Sept. 6, 1824, Lewis wrote to Mr. Simpson :

Clinton."

The same gentleman tells us that Mr. Balch says:

"I immediately wrote to Mr. Van Buren an "I have just been informed by a gentleman account of the interview. I was fully persua of laudable veracity, that Van Buren, of New ded of the strong attachment of Gen. Jackson York, has written to Mr. A. Balch, his deputy, to Calhoun. I, therefore, advised Van Buren of this place, THAT THE FRIENDS OF CRAWFORD to give up the idea of Clinton, and support CalAND CLAY HAVE AGREED TO UNITE THEIR FORCES houn; for if they succeeded in electing Clinton IN FAVOR OF THE FORMER; AND IN THAT WAY TO

SECURE HIS ELECTION.'

Immediately after the adjournment of Congress, in 1827, Mr. Van Buren, accompanied by Mr. Cambreleng, made a pilgrimage to see the "PRINCE OF INTRIGUERS;" and on the 24th of December of that year, Mr. Crawford wrote to Mr. Balch, (Mr. Van Buren's “DEPUTY,”) as follows:

If I understand your letter, you appear to think a public expression of my opinion on the approaching efection to be proper.

Vice President, that he felt assured that Jackson would make Calhoun Secretary of State, and Van Buren's prospects' be blasted forever."

Such being, now, the admitted facts of this case, it is important to examine the connexion which Mr. Van Buren had with it, and the pur pose of the charge.

We have said, and we now repeat that Mr. Van Buren, after having done all in his power to defeat the election of General Jackson in 1824, first made a tender of his services to Mr. Adams, and that Mr. Adams refused to appoint bim Minister to England. In the mean time te "When Mr. Van Buren and Mr. Cambreleng opposition, headed by Mr. Calhoun, rallied ja paid me a visit last April, I authorized them favor of Gen. Jackson, and then, and not unupon every proper occasion to make, those til then, did Mr. Van Buren take ground aopinions known." *** “The only difficulty gainst Mr. Adams. He is now the candidate that this State has upon that subject is, that if of the Jackson party, for the Vice-Presidency, Jackson should be elected Calhoun will come upon the ground that his election should be into power.
