Injured Innocence.
Mr. Caleb Gushing at tin Tyler Meeting on
Wredn~s<iny evening professed his utter inability
' to discover *'1ihi toe Whigs found to dislike in
John Tyler ! The Bank question, he thought,
??a* th'-i only ground of difference, and on that Ty?
ler had acted in perfect consistency with all his
professions, promises and previous acts, while the
H tiiga had behaved moat rascally. They secretly
intended to charter a Bank, but publicly and sol
emniy disavowed it, and crept into power by per
r;''rar.ing a fraud on the People.
Now we have two words to eay to this represen?
tation of Mr. Cushing's. In the fust place, it is
false. To say nothing of the many instances in
which Mr. Tyler indicated a willingness to have a
Bank created, we speak directly for tho-Whig par?
ty. It is utterly false that tho parly, as a party,
disclaimed in the canvass of 1340 the idua of es?
tablishing a Bank. Mr. Clay's Speeches at Toy
lorsville and elsewhere?universally read, and
meant to be so?were favorable to a Bank. Mr.
Webster's powerful Speeches, at Saratoga, in Wall
?trect and elsewhere, clearly and frankly asserted
the policy and necessity of a United States Bank.
Gen. Harrison's speech at Dayton expressed his
willingness to cooperate in creating a Bank if Con?
gress should deem it advisable. To quote no more
avowals from the highest sources, we published
the Log Cabin weekly through that oxcited can?
vass, commencing with an eviition of 40,000 and
running up to 80,000 copies per number, and we
never thought of disclaiming but often advocated
a Bank.
Let us be clearly understood. We nevei
pledged nor understood others to pledge the Whig
party absolutely to establish a Bank?any such
obligation would have been promptly disclaimed? j
but we did understand that the President and
Whig Members of the last Cougress were elected
with an understanding that they would do all in
their power to restore to the country the ble&sing-i
of a sound, adequate and uniform National Curren?
cy, such as we enjoyed under J. Q. Adams and
through and after Gen. Jackson's first term. If it
appeared that this could not be done otherwise
than by meant, of a National Bank, then it should
be so done. And we understood and proclaimed
it as a Whig principle that tho Executive should
conform to the will of the .Legislative power in
this respect. More : we know this was the gene?
ral expectation, and that the Loco-Focos anticipat?
ed as one consequence of a Whig triumph the crea?
tion of a National Bank.
But to take another view of the position of Mr.
Caleb Cushing: He cannot see what the Whigs
find fault with in John Tyler, except his not aiding
them to defraud the People by establishing a Bank '
Caltb ! you and Capt. Tyler (putting the b*T*er
man ahead) were each elected as Whigs, to carry
out the principles and fulfil the wishes of the Whig
People. Let us prove his fidelity by yours, or
vice versa :
1. You, Caleb Cushing. voted for Mr. Clay's
first bill to charter a United States Bank. If there
were any iniquity in it?any fraud intended on the
People?any plot against their liberties?you are
in for it. There can be no two ways about it?
either you were false to your trust in supporting
that bill, or John Tyler was a traitor to Whig prin?
ciples ih vetoing it. Which way will you have it I
2. But another Bank bill was framed in accord?
ance with Mr. Tyler's own suggestions, corrected
by bis own band to obviate his objections, and
voted for by yourself and again John Tyler ve?
toed it. Here was a measure of the most vital
tmpottatice to the country, the success of which
was ardently desired by at least nineteen-tvventi
etbs of all the Whigs in the Union. One of you
played the country a slippery trick on this occa?
sion. Which was it 1?And do not you cut a prett v
riguie at meetings assembled to glorify this same
John Tyler and commend him to the support i>i
the Loco-Focos on the ground of his vetoing these
very Bank bills which jou supported 1
3. You supported and voted for the Tariff bill
of 1842, sa?taining tho Land Distribution. John
Tyler vetoed it, ostensibly because it sustained that
Distribution. He has repeatedly shown himself
a bitter enemy of-the Land Distribution and of
Protective Duties, of which you have hitherto been
a champ ion, and which your constituents and tbe
N Rig party still approve. How. then, can you
ask why the Whigs oppose hiro.;' Your own votes
furnish a conclusive answer.
4. To say nothing of his innumerable other acts
ot treachery, you know that he is mainlv occupied
?ritb turning those who elected him out of office
and putting Loco-Foca* ? their places. Can you
expect W h,g. to relish j If g General in
war were to dismiss his owa of5ceriJ (rom ,he ^
vice and appoint his prisoners of war in their
*tead, what would you think he meant bv it?
How do you think his country and his soldier:
would like it ? v
Mr- Cushing, the country knows you forastronr
rnaa, full of resources; but until you can argue
the taunts of their enemies out of their ears, the
scars ot unmerited defeats off their backs, and the
bitterness of disappointed hopes out of their hearLv
you can never convince the Whigs that John Trier
is not a foul traitor and you bis unworthy abettor.
XT The Housatonic Railroad has reduced its
fare between New-York and Albany to $5.
A IVew Panic.
The scare-crows of the Anti-Tariff men are dis?
sipated by experience about as fast as they can
be got up. First, the New Tariff was to destroy
our Shipping interest, and a!i tbe Sailors in our
port were ieduced to vote the Loco-Foco ticket
last fall o:? the faise pretence that the Whig Tariff
had reduced their wages and stopped their busi?
ness. Now our Shipping is fully employed, and
Freight* as high as any reasonable shipper could
a*k.?Then the Tariff was to destroy the Revenue;
but that humbug has had its day. The present
Tariff will raise more Revenue than tba; wnich the
Whigs found existing when they came into power:
and if the Revenue Tariff men had not grossly de?
serted their professed principles by resisting tbe
imposition of a duty on Tea and C?ffee, we might
have paid off the Government's indebtedness m
three or four years.?' But the Tariff enhances the
price of the Protected Articles to the consumer,'
say the Free Traders. WeM, sirs, you assert this ;
uow prove ill Here axe tbe Prices Current of
this year and former years; show us ?chere and
what has been the increase of price to the consum?
er! You cannot do it! Tbe facts show irresisti?
bly that on the articles o: which the Home Pro?
duction was efhci<ntly protected by the New Tariff,
there has been an average diminution of price
equal to fifteen or twenty per cent. Witness Iron
and Hardware, Coal, Cotton and Woolen fabrics,
and all other great staples protected by the Tariff.
What pretext is left, then, for assailing the Tariff '
The Journal of Commerce has discovered the last
one?it imports that Foreign Nations cannot pay
us for our vast amount of exportable Produce
under this Tariff'-' We like this. The Tariff
has turned the balance of trade largely in our favor,
and now Specie by the shipload is coming over in
payment for our Exports in3trad of the fabrics
which we used tobuy^abroad, but which we are now
making much cheaper at home, and thereby giving
employment to our own People. Foreign nations
can't pay u?, and must stop buying! Excellent!
We can buy of other Nations as easy ai not when
their duties are 10U per cent, and ours 20. but it
we raise ours to the neighborhood of theirs, they
can't trade with us at all! Our Fr*e Traders can
see clearly that other nations cannot buy unless
they are allowed to sell; but we can buy whether
wc are allowed to sell or not:?But let them be
comforted?the case is not without alleviation :
In the first place, we need an infusion of Specie,
especially if we are not to be allowed any other
kind of National Currency ; and if England and
b~ranee have a* much as is generally believed, they
e.an spare us some with benefit to all parties. Then
we owe them Two or Three Hundred Millions of
State and Mercantile debts, incurred during the
years of our declining Tariff and they are ready
to sell the debt dog cheap, and take Cotton, Pork
and Wheat in payment. So there need be no
trouble borrowed about the manner of getting our
pay for a while yet. After our Currency shall ha'-e
been reinforced and our Debt canceled, there is no
doubt that we shall buy of Europe quite as much
as we can pay for, even utider our present Tariff.
Hacks and Cabs.?If any man of enterprise
and means would go into tbe Cab business and
prosecute it on terms of advantage to the public,
wc feel confident that he would lay the foundation
of a fortune. At this moment, while the Omni?
buses of New-York are as cheap as those of any
other City?as cheap as could be asked?out' cur?
rent rates of Hack and Cab fare are exorbitantly,
unreasonably high. At Boston, Providence, Phil?
adelphia or Washiogton,you are conveyed in a good
two-horse carriage any distance within the City
kimits for a quarter of a dollar ; in Providence from
tbe Railroad depot to any part of the City, or at
least two miles ; in Washington often full that dis?
tance ; while here the charge is half a dollar fcr a
conveyance to or from a steamboat?often less than
half a mile. This charge is not merely oppressive
to the traveler?it is ruinous to its short-sighted
exacters. In these haid times, ten lake valise in
hand or hire a boy for a shilling to carry a trunk
and walk up to Howards's or tho Astor. where one
pays tho half dollar. "We are sure that a regular,
uniform charge of 25 cents for any distance less
than a mile would bt> far better for the Cabmen
than the present unwise rate. For a short time, it
might not be ; but soon people would return to the
habit of riding who now uniformly go afoot, and
the owners of public carriage? would get four quar?
ters where they row get one half. But if they will
not consult the public interest and their own, some
enterprising citizen who will procure half a do?en
cabs, attend the steamboats, and let the people
know where a carriage may be had for twenty-five
cents a mile, will do the public a service and se?
cure himself a rich remuneration.

and cheap form at the efhee of the Brother Jona?

in Graham's Magazine, and the last will be in?
cluded in the number for April. We have not read
it, but parts of it are said to be spicy. We have
already cited some of its best hits?those at Ed?

may copy the following paragraph from the Phi?

making use of literary property for which he had
paid a large sum. The particulars will soon trans?

\TJT The Great Western sailed yesterday at
I o'clock. We trust she anchored at the Hook,
for she could scarcely make head against the vio?

continued to rage with almost unexampled fury

not be surprised to hear of many and serious dis?

Institution for tbe Deaf and Dnmfe. j
We learn from the twenty-fourth Annual Report
of the New-York Institution for the Deaf and
Dumb, that the number of pupils at the end of the
pa?t year was 154, of whom the State supports
117, the City of New-York 12, the State of New
Jersey b, tbe remainder being supported by their
friends or by the Institution. Tbe total receipts of
the Institution during the year, including the bal?
ance on hand at the close of the preceding year,
have been $34,582, and the disbursements $31,
596, leaving a balance of nearly $3,000 in the
hands of the Treasurer. For the past fourteen
years the annual rate of mortality among the in?
mates has been only about one death in 130 souls;
but durin? the last year four pupils died, three of
consumption, and one of disease of the ?pinal
marrow. Peter Sharpe, one of tbe Vice Presi?
dents, 8nd one of its first Directors, has also died.
A new building of brick. 140 feet long on Fiftieth
street, has been erected, which has been main'y
appropriated for the mechanical employment of
the pupils. The Croton water has beer, introduced
and bathing conveniences provided. The whole
number rereived into the School since it. was first
established is 046, of whom 192 have returned to
their ft lends. The Report gives some very inter?
esting details concerning th? method of imparting
moral and religious instruction, and some very
gratifying specimens of the progress made by the
pupils in composition. The School is represented
a? in a highly flourishing condition, and is confer?
ring a vast benefit upon a deserving though most
unfortunate ciass of tne community.

couid be said on the affirmative.?that henceforth
the public will be quiet on that subject. 1 have
also heard that the gentlemen whe argued the ne?
gative havo since been solicited to argue the ques?
tion of Capita! Punishment with two other Vier
gyir.er., but have declined doing so. I am credibly
informed that such is the fact. If it is so, will
you have the goodness to publish it to the world ?

[CP Guv Correspondent may rest assured that if
the advocates of abolishing Capital Punishment
have been beaten, as is claimed?but which they
have not yet discovered?they certainly have not
been silenced, nor has the agitation of the matter
terminated by any m^ans. As to tho other branch
of his inquiry, we have heard vaguely that certain
clergymen who are prominent advocates of Capital
Punishment have declined to discuss the question
with certain eminent clerical opponents of that
Punishment, but on what grounds we know ?ot.

In Senate, a report was received from the Sec?

tribute any more copies. It was referred to the
j Judiciary Committee. The bill to provide for the

From St. Dexhfdo.?The Journal cf Commerce
! yesterday contained later advices from St. Domin
CO, from which it appears that the insurgents arc
vet in arms, and likely to maintain a severe strug?
gle with the authorities. They number about
6,000 strong, and have taken possession of A use
d'HainauIt, Ause a Veau, aud Jeremie' and in the
latter city they have established a provisional gov?
ernment. A large number of respectable citizens
have been imprisoned on suspicion, and amr.ng
them Dr. Loveil of the United States is involved
more deeply than most others. He was seized on
a mission (as is said) to a Colonel in the Govern?
ment service, to ?fter him the grade of a General
on the part of the insurgents; brought to Aux
Caves, tried by a court martial, and condemned to
I death, hie appealed against the sentence; and at
the latest accounts a council of revision, with Gen.
BorgelU at the head, was sitting to decide the j
question. The U. S. Commercial Agent ha*, made
representations of the matter to the State Depart?
ment. Business is entirely at a stand. The force?
of the Government have not thus far been able to
make any successful opposition to the insuigent
troops, who are commended by two spirited offi?
cers. A slight skirmish had taken place, in which
the latter were the victors. An embargo had
been laid on all national vessels, including market
and fishing boats, preventing them from leaving
the port; and foreign vessels were allowed f.u sail
only between sunrise and sunset, and then subject
to be searched.
Sad Accident.?As a p?rty of nine person?, in

and doubtless will effect, a Legislative nomination

The Isle of Pines.?We have seen a letter
from a gentleman at Matanzas, dated Feb. 20th,
which gives a more circumstantial account ol" the
chase given to a schooner off the ' Isle of Pines '
by the U. S. brig Boxer, than has before been pub
fished. An officer of the brig informed him that
off that island they fell in with a ' long, low, rakish
looking' schooner, which this officer thought very
like the 'San Antonio/ which he had seen in Tex?
as. They gave chase to ber, hunting the French
nag, and the schooner showed no signals till a gun
was fired from the brig, when she showed the
Spanish ensign. The officer said that " she sailed
like a witch, and soon ran away from them." They
were about four miles off when they first midet.hc
schooner. The writer of the letter veiy appropri?
ately rprnarks, that " it is not unusual in those lati?
tudes to meet with ' long, low, black schooners,'
nor is it .musual for fa*t-sailing vessels to keep clear
of any man-of-war that may wish them to heave
to," and that nothing but conjecture can be made
oat of the circumstance. [Boston Adv.
