S JOEL H. HA DEN.
The removal of this old gentleman
from the Register's office at Spring
field, in this State, is producing quite
a stir among the public journals of
the day. We confess our surprise a!
the course which the Fayette Demo
crat has taken, his motives and rea
sons are beyond our comprehension;
and we can only account for his
lame and impotent defence of the
Parson, by supposing that the Editor
is actuated in his defence of Haden
t the motives which he says
prompted Col. Po!k to appoint Mc.
Bride, viz "consanguinity of love."
Charity bids us hope (hat this alone
was the inciting: cause; that Haden's
conduct has been grossly dishonest,
and that he has according to the
Democrat, basely and dishonorably
pandered to the vanity of Mr. Tyler
'in order to secure an oihi:e, must
be evident to all. For ourselves, we
know of no difference in private and
political honesty. An individual who
will lie in his private transactions
will do so in his political relations
for ourselves, we can see no distinc
tion between the private and the po
litical knave ; although some individu
als bold that they may with proprie
ty act the honest man in their private
relations and play the political knave
at the same time. Every one who
knows any thing tf the position of
political uartiri the time Haden's
letter to Walter torward was writ-

he who wore the "livery of heaven,
who stood before hi" fe'lo-.v men a
model and a guide for their walk in
life, is the first openly to violate
those known rules of propriety "to
secure an office," which many, who
mak a no professions, religiously re
gard. The Fayette Democrat says that
it would not hare been proper to at
tack Mr. Haden through the medium
of a Democratic paper. We are
forced again to differ with the Editor,
we hold that a public journalist is
not set as a sentinel to watch
over the acts of his opponents alone,
he is not to set in judgment alone up
on those individuals who hold differ
ent political views from himself. He
is placed there to know no partiality
favor or prejudice, where l ight is con
cerned, and lie who censures only his
enemies, and who passes by, blind to
any fault and act of corruption of
his own party, is not only acting the
faithless Sentinel, but he is play ing
false, deeply and doubly false to the1
high trust reposed in him. If we
know of corruption or fraud having
been practiced, if we know of any
treachery or double dealing having
been committed, we shall openly ex
pose them wc shall "lash them with
a whip of Scopions," and never stop
to enquire whether they be "Whigs
or Democrats." Any other course
of conduct would but make the
glorious principles of Democracy
a garb and cloak for every species of
wrong nnd injury. As to the ap
pointment of McBride, we have
nothing to say; Col. Polk certainly
thought him worthy of th office
which be bestowed upon him, other
wise he would not have appointed
him. If we mistake not, the Demo
crats in the very Democratic circuit
ir. which he lives, thought him sufli
cicntly Democratic to elect him Cir
cuit Attorney where politics were
made a test of qualifications. We
have been informed that he has ever
been a firm and consistent Democrat,
and never condesended to flatier
even Mr. Tyler for the sake of office
And we cannot close this article
without saying to our friends of the
Democrat and the Springfield Adver
tiser. that if they really wish to har
monise and unite the party, that they
are wide of the mark, if they ever
hope to accomplish it by the course
which they have pursued
We had thought that the terms
"Hard and Soft," had long since been
con-.gned to the past; tnat after a.l ;

TARIFF.
It ii amusing to observe the course
of the Whig papers on the subject cf
the tariff the multifarious and con
tradictory positions they take to for
tify their system of quackery. The
tarifi' is protective. It is to aid the
manufacturer and encourage Ameri
can industry. The American manu
facturer cannot compete with the
foreigner; for he cannot produce the
articles in demand at so small a cost;
and cannot, therefore, sell it so low,
and make a profit. Compel the tor
eicner to pay a duty rn who. im
ports, and then he will be compelled
to increase the price to the consu
mer and the American manufactur
er wilt be able to compete with him.
In this way the protectionists propo
ses to encourage manufactures. It
is the object of the tariff to raise the
price of goods manufactured in this
country. It in this way only that
manufactures can be protected. If
a protective taritl does not increase
the price of domestic manufactures,
it does not answer the purpose for
which it was intended. It is, in fact,
a complete failure, and the protec
tionists ought to be the first to repeal
it.
It being the object of the Whig
party to raise the price of domestic
manufactures the ought to show us
that they have accomplished it, or
admit that they made a blunder rn
arranging the duties in the tariff, not
at all to their credit
ise what course do the Whigs
pursue? Instead of showing us that
thev have done what thev interfiled
to do, and what they claim crnm ior;
. . . -

facts and figures, that this ami
.,
ttiui
protected aiticle has become cheap
er since ihe tariff; and they point f
the tariff as tho cause of the diminu
tion in price. In any party objects
were to be gained by it, we have nn
doubt that the Whips would un.ler-
1 take to demonstrate to the satisfac
tion of all Whiguom, that the force
of the cuirent in the Ohio carried
steamboats from Louisville to Cincin
nati; and they would point to the
new line of boats lately established
as full confirmation of the doctrine.
They would argufy as follows: is
not there a current in the Ohio? just
answer mc that, if you please cer
tainly. Well, don't steam vessels
run from Louisville to Cincinnati dai
ly ? certainly. Well, then, did we
not tell you so one fact is worth a
thousand theories.
This facility of shifting positions;
of twisting and turning, Whigery un
derstands, and has learned by expe
rience. It has been taught them by
the difficulty ol getting the majority
which they have always been fully
sensible of. Before an election, they
have a perfect honor of Nativeism;
they eulogize the Irish and Germans.
Tiie whole-soule! Irishman and the
industrious and thrifty German, are

Remarkable fact in Natural His
tori. Major John Pilfers, a farmer
of great respectability in this county,
informed me that while he lived at
his father's in Missouri, some twe.it
years ago, a buzzard, (is not this bird
the real vulture f")wns taken alive,
having gorged itself over a carcass
to such a degree as to prevent its fly
jnTiis weight being too heavy for
its w inns; when he, tog iher with
his father, brother and neighbor, with
a small shoemaker's awl. ''ripped o-
penitseyes, so that no pait of the
ball remained." The head of the
bird was then put under one of its
wings, in which position it remained
a few minutes, when, to the surprise
of all, it gradually relieved its head
from its wings, shook itsfll as if to
arrange its disordered leathers, and
re-appeared with two good sound
eyes, free from blemish, ami possess
ing in every degree the power of vis
ion. This seemingly cruel expert
ment was repeated with the same
bird on ditlerent occasions, in the
presents of di'lerent persons, Inty
