An opportunity rarely occurs to breeders and sports
men, ot supplying themselves with slock of equal value
and reputation.
I st- ^ ih he oflered Betsy Coles, the dam of Col.
W vnn s celebrated Horse Malcolm. She is in foal by
Col. \\ bite’s Goliah, whose reputation is too well known
t the public to require animaii version. She is thirteen
years old tins Spring, and though blind, is in fine health,
retains her line appearance, and is as lively and spirited
as she ever was. Siie ran her sweepstakes at three
years old, under the direction of Col. White, to whom
reference is made for her excellent performance, as
racing was then but little in vogue in this part of the
country, She was put to breeding the next Spring, ami
never ran another race. Her pedigree, equal to that of
any Nag in the country, may he found in the Turf He
gislcr, vol. till or 3d, under the urticle “ Malcolm.
satisfactory certificates will also bo exhibited on the day
of sale. J

^ which, du d at a lew days old; .and the otlier, of last
Spring, 1 icfiiHed lour tiuntirctl ti<#/Jur* oumIi for, nt u fort*
niglit old. The Maid of Athens never started publicly.
She was taken with the distemper while in training, at 3
yeurs old, and afterwards so badly curbed that it was
thought advisable to put her to breeding. She was a
promising filly, and ran several excellent trials.
hdly. Will be offered two fillies by Mr. Johnson’s cele
brated Sir Charles, out of a thorough-bred Mare. One
of them (Lilly Lewis,) three years old this Spring, and
the otlier (Laura,) two years old this Spring. They are
\er", stout and likely. 1 he Charles fillies’ always run.
1 he dam ot M lie dm has been put seven seasons, and
has had five foals, four of which have been raised to he
grown.
1st. Malcolm, who made a distinguished race, having
beaten many ot the finest horses in the Union, in long
race’s and quick time; among them were the justly cele
brated O’Kelly, Annette,and Goliah' His race at Law
rencevilli1, ir» which lie heat the latter, and several other
'line horses, was among the best ever run in America ;
for, a It ho' he contended for every heat, lie ran the third
heat of four miles in the unparalleled lime of eight mi
nutes and four seconds.
Bud. 1 he Maids of Athens, who was injured.
3rdly. Count IMuloif, by Tariff, who, although foun
dered severely throe times before he was two years old,
won a sweepstakes and ran several otlu r creditable races.
And lastly, the fine Filly Fleurelle, who, under many
disadvantages, was second last Spring, in what Mr.
Adams said, was the best Colts'race overrun at Fair
field; and though bouton herself, by Col. Wynn’s Mer
lin Colt, after a severe contest, she beat several others
of the first order, some of which had been winners else
where. Col. Wynn thought so highly of her that he
entered her in two of the heaviest stakes of last fall at
Tree Hill ami Baltimore; but she also got crippled and
will never run again—These are Horses of fine appear*
ance.
The Kditor of the Sporting Magazine, under the arti
cle “A Keep at the Old Dominion,” (vol. 3d, page 510.)
says: “ There were seventy-two Race Horses in the
Stables at New Market; among them, Malcolm shone
conspicuous for his noble figure and elastic carriage.”
The sale will he made without reserve, or limitation,
on a credit of six months, for negotiable notes with ap
proved endorsers. JOS. M. S1IK1TARD.

foot, is the fust horse that oversold for $10,000, in Ame
rica. And a year or two ago, at 5iU years old, he again
sold for about the same sum. He ran until lie was nine
years old—all his races four-mile heats—and was taken
oil' the tuif, as sound as a nut. Ho was never beaten ;
ami, to use the language of one of his strongest oppo
nents at one time, •• He challenged the world—In- beat
tlie world—lie won a world of money—and he is a irvrhl s
icoiuler."
i-uly Lightfoot, dam of Eclipso Liglilfoot, ran at all
distances and at all places, until she was 1.1 years old.
She was beaten but seldom—once by Beggar Girl, VJ mile
heats, when site was prepared and run down for 4 miles;
once by the great limns ,V<Uunr, Hermaphrodite, whom
she beat twice, (nil 1 mile heats.) She was twice beaten
by the invincible Eclipse; which is to pluck the laurel
from one side ol the diadem to place it the more grace
fully on the ether—And she was beaten, at II years old,
by Betsy Richards; but it was evident her day had pass
ed, and she should then have been, where she so glori
ously died, among the first matrons of the age. In lb] 5
then ;1 years old, she won all her stakes, and was carr'u d
to Charleston, E. C. by Gen. Wynn, where she won in
three consecutive days, at ‘J, B and I mile heals, all the
money run lor in the week, beating the best horses of the
day. Among them, the famous Lottery, (dam of Kos
ciusko, Ease Weimer and Crusader;) the famous Trans
port, (dam of Bertrand, Jr. mid Little Venus;) the fa
mous Merino Ewe, (dam ol l’hilhs and Gohunna,) and
others: a feat never before or since performed by any
horse. She won innumerable races, but most remarkable,
7 Jockey Club purses, at 10 years old ! ! !
UU1 l*lnck maria, liy imported Shark, grnndam of
Eclipse Liglitfoot, ran until she was I I j*( tt rs oldj ac
fjuirvd for herself and her posterity nil imperishable fame
— won a number of races—lost a tew in the down hill i f
life, and was only livat'.ed by her next of kin.
Imported Shark (great <> rand-sire of Eclipse Liglitfoot)
was got by Marske, the sire of the great Eclipse, in Eng
land ; and is, of course, hi:; halt' brother, and the gre.it
j grand-son of Childers. To tle-se two horses he has been
j frequently compared a* next; hut, by the fairest reason
i ing in the world, he must be at least their equal. He ran
I more races—Wmi more money—wus only beaten by two
| horses, and that readily accounted for. Dorimont (sire
I of Gabriel) beat him, evidently l>y the difference ol
. weight given him for the year. Shark beat him, when
| ageM. and both carried the same weight. Pretender, (his
halt brother.) by Marske, heat him, from a slight defect in
j Hie heels—-a disease vet y common. A notice, in the
Racing Calendar for 17-7, (I think,) s.y* he won up
! wards of vri.OtMt guineas (about igslOO,<100;) and it is said,
j by high authority, that Itl.OoO guineas were offered for
| him, as lie left the Kew-Market Course for the last lime.
It hemty, action, speed, bottom, durability to last up
on the turf, and longevity tire the grand desiderata to
breeders, no strain ol horses posses* it in a more pre-emi
nent degree. '1 liese are the qualities—tills the blood of
Eclipse Liglitfoot ; not to he detracted from by a full and
still further extension, too lengthy for publication. He
lias been twice purchased out of a training stable, in
^ which lie was at the head, and by well approved judge*;
and for general and immediate hem-tit. lias been put to
j stand. Over this, the horse eould have no possible eon
i trol: hut it is a just cause: to inveigh against his un
| kind owners, lor depriving him the chance, by his miuht
I and ntrnifflh, of sustaining side by side witli his closest
| kin. their growing fame. If my life rested upon it, J
j would take him lor ail distances, sooner than any horse

I ho Lilitur of (he Constellation, who Ikis professed
so strong a desire to make the ensuing town election
turn upon tile point that Mr. drown disobeyed instruc
tions, has nevertheless been ransacking the chronicle*
ot the past lev voine different gr> uttd of attack, and has !
stumbled on a notable discovery, which he naiades be
lore the public with an air of much triumph, lie Ims
ascertained that six years ago, when Mr. Brown repre- i
sauted the county of Harrison, amt sin illy after he came
into political life, he voted in the negative on certain
resolutions introduced into the (iener.il Assembly, re
specting the soveteigniy of the Elates and the emu-ti
tiiiionalily and expediency of the Tarilf laws. The
hditor at once advances to the conclusion. that Mr.
Brown, in voting againstthi- resolutions, iul< nJcd todis
a.vow the prineipleN embruced in them, mid seems to an
ticipate the most miraculous effects from (lie disclosure,
lie seizes the occasion, also, to suggest that it’ this sin
can be forgiven in Mr. Brown, surely his friend, Mr.
\ an Huron, may be pardoned f r tin1 Tarilf law of IfiM.
Most lame and impotent me bis conclusions in both in
stances.
Whenever a resolution of any character, or upon any
Subject, is brought before a legislative body,every mem
ber is bound to vote upon it. It ho votes itjfirmtttirild. ,i
must in cessarily be in consequence of his approval «>t the
principle involved in it. I’m which he thereby makes him
sell responsible. Blit, it lie votes iu the nrnulirr, it
“lay Be t- ra variety of reasons independent ot the prin
ciple. lie may acknowledge the truth ofthe principle,
and yet vote against a resolution asserting it, because lie
deems it unnecessary or inexpedient to act at all on the
subject—or because it may not be set forth iu the form,
or with the qualifications lie requires—or because his con
stituents may be opposed to it, and lie prcli rs to do no
thing in the ease, rather than «lo that wli.ch is unpalata
ble to them.
Now, we are authorized to ray, tint in voting against
those resolutions at the session '<?.>, Mr. Brown did
not mean to nliirtu that the Stales were not sovereign,
01 that the Tariff was eilhercunstitution.il or expedient,
lie represented a people who were known to entertain
opinions adverse to those expressed in tin- resolutions,
ami who, ns recent events amongst them had shown,
were opposed to the adoption of legislative resolutions,
declaratory of opinions upon abstract subjects. His in
dividual opinion was, that it Ijie resolutions were adopt
cd, there ought to be some qualifying clauses engrafted
upon them; but as hi- did not desire any action on the
subject lie felt himself under no obligations to un ••••_• i
amendments. 1 wo year- previously, *ir •.. '
lio‘>s on similar gr-u.i 'j, had **ee» ndoofed, and the Ta- |
till '"wot l'Vi-S find already been iu force tor nearly T-i i
months. He considered himself entirely at liberty to
consult the wishes of Ins constituents, and did ex* sup
pose, that iu v’oting against any resolutions, thereby de
feating the expression of any opinion, he was muk.ug
himscit responsible for a particular set of' opinions. *
nt* u*ia prevomeu, accidentally, liom making* a
apvoch oil tin- occasion, lie mentioned ins reasons, before
hand, to tlie author ot llic resolutions, w ho may probably
recollect the circumstance. He declared to him, at the
lime, that he admitted the sovereignty ol the fStates, and
that the hwa, for protection, wire not among the objects
contemplated by the Constitution; but that some re
ference ought to lie made in tin? resolutions t<> the duty
ot a State, to the co-states, to recur to certain preliminary
measures tor redress before she proceeded, in the last re*
s.#rt. to the extreme step, ol judgment and redress in her
own behalf. He thought, that whilst the object ol prolec
lion to manufactures was unconstitutional, that the
made and measures, that is to say, the taring power,—
were within the letter ot tilt* (.-onstitii'ioii ; and, more
over,that in some particular cases, the Tariff laws had not
been oppressive^ These impressions, w hich lie avowed ,
in the conversation ahuded to, would have been a *u!n- >
cient pretext, h.td he needed any, for voting in conformi- '
ly to the will of his constituent* against the adoption of!
resolutions which did iu*t exactly embrace ills views.

** Jle bad, however, always thought that the legislation
on this subject (the Turitij wasa perversion of the spirit j
anil intention ol tin* Constitution, rather than a violation I
ot iislin-ial provisions. The power ‘to lay and collect *
taxes, duties, impests, and excises, to pay tile debts of j
the nation, and h r other specified objects, vested in (Jon- ;
gres< tlie discretion to judge wliat amount of revenue I
was necessary for the purpose. Mote revenue might be !
raised than was required for the objeets contemplated In- I
the ( (institution, and Ibis might be done designedly, in i
v- liit.ii case it was a wilful abuse* ot u discretionary !
power, biit it was an abuse perpetrated within the form's j
of tlie ('(instiliitimi, which bad provided no check
or_ corrective, as to the amount of revenue to lie
raised. Tin* Constitution bad enumerated the ol»- 1
jects for which revenue should be raised, and no
uniter how raised, or to wliat extent, it could not
be appropriated to any other objects than those spe
cified. in all cases where an appropriation was to
be made, it was peril-city easy to decide win ther il was
constitutional or otherwise. Win it money was raisi d
by the Federal Government, and expended in the con
! struetii n ot a road or canal, we were able to decide at
j once, that the object of appropriation was not contein
| plated by the Constitution, and that the violation was in
the secondary stage of tlie operation; so,if revenue after
being raised, weic bestow erf on tin* inaniiliiclurers in the
form ot bounties for their encouragement, we could lay j
our finger on tlie infraction. But it happened, in regard
to Ibis protective system, that the purpose was effected
in the process of rinsing tlie revenue, w ithout the ne
cessity ot an appropriation. The protection to maun
lecturers was incidental, and whetbt r it were the prima
ry or secondary motive, the sociot or the avowed object
ol laying imposts, !lie violation was accomplished under
cover o| the ext icise of a discretionary powi r. It was
a measure of policy not foreseen by I he parties to the Con
stitution. and was productive of as decided benefit to the
manufacturers and injury to ollu r cias.-u a of Ihe commu
nity, as if premiums were conferred directly on them;
but still il could only lx* character.zed ar. an iinconslilti
tiornl ohji et ( fleeted by constitutional means.”
On the same occasion, Mr. Brown life red a series of
resolutions, declaring,among oilier things, ‘"That, as the
States an- parties to Il.i compact, in their sovereign ca
pacity, there is no common arbiter superior to the autho
rity ol tlie party Ihrnisehes; 'and further,“That this Ge
neral Assembly has witnessed, with deep regret, the as
sumption and continued exeicise of a power <>n the part
of the Federal Government to pass I iws avowedly for the
protection of domestic itntiiifaclures, which in their ope
ration and r Herts are unequal, unjust, oppressive, and
contrary to the spirit of the Constitution; ami it is due l<>
I the cccnwinti, solemnly to repent the ndnn nition. that the

I discontent among the people injuriously a fleeted by il,
and if rut riband tied, must inevitably weaken, and, in
the end, destroy their alVction for the 'I'nioii.’’

it, us has been supposed, those views have contributed
in any degree to produce a state of feeling so much to
be desired, 1 bave reason to be gratified wit?! the result.
I lu* approaching, and it the policy of the present Kx
eoutiie ij allowed to prevail, the certain and speedy ex
tinguishment ot the national debt, has presented an op
poiiunitv tor a more equitable adjustment of the T'nrill",
winch lias been already embraced, by the adoption of a
c ncihulory mcasuie, the spirit of which will, 1 doubt not,
»outiuuc to tie cherished by all who arc not desirous of
advancing their private interest* at the sacrifice of those
ot the public, and who place a just value upon the peace
and harmony of the l/niou.
I he protective.system and its proper adjustment bo
came a subject ol frequent and necessary consideration
whilst 1 tunned a part of the Cabinet; and the manner
in which the (’resident proposed to carry into elVeet the
policy in relation to imposts, recommended in his previ
ous messages, has since heen avowed with that frank
ness winch belongs to his character. To this end lie re
commend. d ‘ a mod fication of the Taritf, which should
produce a reduction of the revenue to the wants of the
< myerrunent, and an adjustment ol’ the duty on imports,
'V- . ' w to ‘ justice in relation to all our nation
al interests, and to the counteraction ol" foreign policy,
so tar as it may be injurious to those interests.
In these sentiments 1 fully concur; und 1 have been

vast majority ot tin- p.-unlc of the United Slut -s, and ar
rest that sp.ul of disuoifteni which is now unhappily so
provident. and which threatens such extensive injury to
tire institutions of our country.”
Now what were the measures recommended by the
President, in relation to the Taritf, to which Mr. Van iiu
um gave.s.uc.h cordial and hearty support? It is known
to every Tyro in pi i.ties, and ought certainly to be la
miliar lo.Mr. Brown, that it has been a darling part of tho
policy ot Andrew Jackson's heart, since he took his seat
in the ITi-ridential Chair, gradually to reduce the pub
lic revenue to the wants of the Government. It is this
policy to which Mr. V an Huron gave his concurrence and
support ns a member of the Cabinet; and it is this poli
cy lie will continue to pursue, if placed at the head of tho
American people. Mr. Brown alleges that be gave the
votes, our comments on which brought oul the authorized
i j ■ l.i nation, iiw ubeds recto the opinions of bis constitu
ami not m accordan^gpdy^, own vie-wu. G ranted
Is that -,entfcman prepared then to say, that Mr. Van
Bmen d.u uot su.pp.-rt in the Legislature of New York,
toe policy ot tlu- ALsam.-i Restrictions, in obedience to
tin- will «d his rot's/'lnruts also? It is well known, that
hlavciy was abolished m that Slab-, in obedience to po
piuar iq imoo; and u .t a doubt rests on out mind, that
whateW-r support Mr. V an Huron gave to the mcosuro
I ol making Missouri a free Stale, it was given in obe
dience to the opinions of those who hud elected him
their lepri-sentutive. Unless Mr. Brown can make it
i appear otheiwise, wi- hold him to be condemned by bis
j argument on his own case. For ourselves, wo do not
u-cogniae tin- right ol Congress to legislate upon the
subject ul all. With the States only, does the power
rest ot declaring whether slavery shall or shall not ex- •
ist within their limits. This power they should guard

No one, however, who will rend the letter with at

Had the opponents uf n National Convention abstained
from connecting the President with the Convention, he
would have given them no trouble upon the subject; but
witu the view ot aiding their own cause* by repre

National Republican alleged that tlm President was

the Republican t > assume and give currency to any such
supposition. This, however, was not the worst of it._

President was in favor of Judge White, and would favor
