^ HONESTY IN POLITICS.
r The following is an extract of a Letter
from .1 \ues Wilson, one of the Repre
sentatives in Congress from Pennsylvania,
in re »lv to an invitation to attend a polit
cnl meeting, which his engagements pre
vented him from attending. False pride
h id *• >t cl«»sed his senses against con vie
tion, and honest impudence has prompted
the disclosures to his constituents of the
real state of his mind on the great political
question of the day.
“At the time the honor of a seat in Con
gress was first conferred upon me, from a
variety ofeaiises not now necessary for me
to enumerate or refer to. the voice of Penn
sylvania was decidedly in favor of Gen.
Jackson for the Presidency. A large
portion of her citizens believed lie had
claims tor that honor, far surpassing those
of any other candidate. In that opinion,
1 am free to confess, I coincided, and on
numerous occasions gave decisive proofs
of my preference, and I took pleasure in
letting it be know n. I judged from the best
lights I could procure; and if I have since
with more knowledge and experience than
I then possessed, been induced in some
measure to change my views on that sub
ject, I feel a confident hope that such of
niv fellow-citizens, at least. as have per
sonal knowledge of me, will do me the jus
tice to believe, that the change has result
ed from an honest conviction that I had
bra'll in error. Occupying a station which
lias afforded me five opportunity of observ
ing for myself, what, without that advan
tage. I should have been compelled to learn
from the interested and prejndiced repre
sentations of otters. I cannot, for the mere
purpose of seeming to preserve a consis
tency of opinion, refuse to do justice to
tnen who have been, as 1 am now convin
oed, very unjustly abused. In short, I
can no longer listen to the story of “bar
gain and corruption,” because I am fully
satisfied that it is itterly false, and
was only used for unworthy nurpo&s, by
such as have had the means of knowing the
facts on which it claimed to rely.
“The honesty of ray preference for Gen.
Jack sou very natural!} produced in mv
liu id a very deep regret at the failure to e
Icct him by the House of Representatives,
and 1, for a time, listened to the charge ol
coriwption. Disappointment in regard tc
a lav#nie object is well calculated to muht
strong impressions, and it is quite preba
ble, that, yieldmgtotlieinfluer.ee ofthai
disappointment. I may have expressed nn
A fe belief in ifae truth of the charge. Be thai
- it may, I have been long coa viced to tht
3aauar> Wary!
••The solitary circumstance, that notes
t.mony has been exhibited, after three years
diligent search in all quarters of the Union,
H of itself sufficient to acquit all the gen
tlemen implicated, leaving entirely out of
ill- question the higti character which they
Jmve ever sustained.
•*l am now fully sensible, that respect
incr Gen. Jackson, 1 was led away bv that
blaze of glory which the peculiar circum
stances and feelings of the moment contri
buted to throw around the successful de
fence of-New Orleans. 1 had, under the
influence of some of the best feelings of our
nature, fallen into the erroneous belief
common to all ages of the world—the be
lief, that he who may have conducted a
military corps to victory, must he possess
ed of a great capacity of mind, and, conse
quently, of all the requisite qualifications
uf civil rule. This error was the more
likely to prevail in this country, because,
in the person of the Great ashinuton,
the tiro qualities were admirably united.
Hut alas! how tew have been the charac
ters that re-emble Washington! Let the
history of all successful soldiers answer the
question. Hut the “causes of the evils
which have proved fatal to Republics,”
are of too general and extensive a nature
to be discussed at large in a communica
tion H^e this. My object is to draw your
attention to a few things of a more specific
character—things involving the political
economy of the country. The public opin
ion of our rotate, is so decidedly in favor of
die protection, of domestic manufactures,
that no man who looks to the enjoyment of
public favor, will dare to opjiose the sys
tem; but there are many, w hose connexion
with Nnithern politicians ou the subject ol
the Presidency, induce them to fall into a
course of conduct, which, if it had succeed
ed, would certainly have defeated all hopes
of affecting the passage of any law cal
culated to extend protection to our home in
dustry. Even since the determination of
certain leading politicians of Pennsylva
nia to combine with the South, we have
been continually lectured about the dan
ger of monopolies, and pursuaded to be
lieve that all measures tor the protection of
manufactures, were to result to the exclu
sive benciit of tne New England States—
as though every thing w hich promoted the
prosperity of New England must necessa
rily result to the injury of Pennsylvania !
And when speaking ofthe \ iews entertain
ed in the two extremes of the Union, the
North has been continually represented
as being in favor of mruufactures from self
ish views—a sentiment which Pennsylva
nia ought not to encourage—while the op
position ofthe South was excused because
it had always prevailed there! Thus it
has been, that the prejudices of our People
h. ve been attempted to be enlisted against
the tariff policy of New England, on the
ground of superior interest, and, at the
-same time, co-operation and union with the
South urged, on the ground of uniform hos
tilitv !—a hostility, which, as it has always
existed, ought no longer to be noticed!”
From (he Xcr York Statesman.
Experience verses Theory.—We publish
this evening a communication under the
signature of “.9 Pearl street Merchant,"
on the subject of ’.he ’1 ariff. Our corres
pondent is really what he pretends to be—
a merchant, in extensive business, of much
experience, with ample means of informa
tion, by his connexions in tradw with vari
ous parts ofthe country. Nicti men ought
surely to bo acquainted with their own in
terests; and their opinions, derived from a
mictieul knowledge of facts, will far out
weigh the most ingenious editorial s}>ceula
tions. We re;>eut an assertion made some
days since, and which cannot be controver
ted, that the American System, is daily
gaming new advocates in this city among
the most enlightened friends of a well regu
lated commerce. That the new tariff of
duties needs some amendments, will be
readily acknowledged; but of the wisdom
ofthe policy on which it is founded, there
can be no doubt.
FOR THE STATESMAN.
As a merchant having extensive con
nexions m business with country dealers
t'rom Maine to Alabama, 1 have deliber
atelv and calmly looked at the (ff cts which
the new Tardl'lias produced thus lar on the
community; and 1 am bound to declare it
as my honest and candid belief, that so lar
from its having produced bad results and
entailed misery and wretchedness on our
countrv, it hits bc^n the means of saving
o e half of the merchants of this city from
destruction, and a great proportion of them
throughout the U. from bankruptcy and
ruui.
I am the more confirmed in this opin
ion from conversations with merchants,
who have already \ isited this city, from
most of the States m the Union; 1 find that
there is a general decrease of disposable
produce lu every section of our countrv,
and in many places a deficiency tor home
consumption, while large stocks of goods
remain ouhand. We all know the nature
of the importing business the preceding
year. We also know' that earlv last fall
the United States Bank, as well as other
Banks souuded an alarm; and we now see
the w isdoui of their doing so. We felt
the etiects at the time, aud charged them
with many hard things, as w ill ever be the
case when the borrower is denied. But
we now see there was no mistake in their
judgment then;—“that our country could
not, with all the abundance of last year’s
cron, pay for that year’s importation, and
we merchants must lessen our business.
Notwithstanding the alarm which gen
erally prevailed Jast winter, still large pro
visions were making tor this year's busi
ness, aud great shipments to this country
were expected and would have been made.
, I he fears which prevailed among mer
chants did not extend to British agents &
many fee turers: they had vended their
gooods by auction to our merchants, real
ised the cash from the auctioneer, and
were in a good condition, for unotiier year’s
business, when the discussion commenced
at Washington about the Tariff. This
caused them to wait a little, to see how
it should terminate. The chances appear
ing against its passage, immense orders
were forwarded; but as the friends of the
American System appeared willing to sup
port the Tariff Bill, even with all the ob
jectional provisions, which a wish to ren
der it odious had attached to it, contrary to
my expectation, and those of the merchants
generally, it passed and became a law of
the land.
Upon this, immediate countermanding
orders went express in all directions, and
fortunately for our country, they reached
the British manufacturer iu season. For,
had the Tariff not have passed and taken
as early as it did, the amount of importa
tion would have entailed a debt of many
millions upon our country more than it
could pay, and consequently would have
scattered ruin and bankruptcy in every di
rection. The goods thus imported must
have been sold Tariff or no Tariff.
Notwithstanding the new duties, dry
goods upon the average are not higher this
year than they were last year, and the
consumer will get them as cheap. It is
true that expectation was raised and many
have held their goods, expecting an ad
vance; but they are disappointed—and
what is the cause of this disappointment? i
< ’ertamly not the Tariff—because wc^now.
tliaf 'n't to nmv in nnf>r:itinn
What then, if not the Ta, ill? The cause
is obvious:—for some years past there lias
been a gradual extension of business
throughout the country, and every mer
chant has more or less of last year’s sup
ply on hand, and he finds himself still in
debt for his old stock, while his available
means of payment are very ranch lessened.
!fis purchases are therefore limited; and
small as some have imagined our importa
tions to he, they proveto he more than c
nough. Those who expected a rise in
consequence of die Tariff, are of course
disappointed, and are glad to receive the
tverage prices of last year for their goods.
Now, suppose nothing had taken pi ice
<o prevent shipments, which the Tariff cer
tainly has done, and that the importations
of the goods ordered had actually been
made—what then would have been the
state ofbusiness and the consequences to
the merchants of this country # Already
saddled with a heavy debt, and a certain
curtailment of resources this year to the a
mount of several millions, can any man of
experience entertain a doubt what our sit
uation would have been, and that the. natu
ral consequence would have been fatal to
our merchants? Distress and bankruptcy
would inevitably have pervaded the land.
Whatever therefore may have been the
actuating motives in those who framed &
adopted the Tariff, I am thus far well sai
istied with its general effects; though parts
of the act appears to me ill slmperi and sus
ceptible of great improvement. It should
always be borne in mind, that some of its
provisions were forced upon its friends-, &
that the whole is open to amendment, it
will be far more agreeable to listen to de
bates in favor ol some alterations of the
Tariff, than to read the long lamentations
and doleful speeches, which would other
wise have been made in Congress on the
depression of trade and the ruin of the
country.
A PEARL-STItF.ET MERCHANT.
The Young Napoleon.—It would ap
pear from the following account in a Ger
man paper, that the young Napoleon pro
mises to prove “a chip of the old block."
The young Duke of Keichstadt, the sou
of Napoleon, went through his last exam
ination in every branch of his studies to
the perfect satisfaction of their Imperial
Majesties, and of his mother who were
present on the occasion. His grandfather
told him, alter the examination had been
concluded, that within a year he should
enter the army; upon which the young
prince is said to have exclaimed—“Thank
God! then mv fate is fixed!’’ There is a
rumor current that Austria means to pro
cure for him the throne of Portugal,’by ne
gotiating a marriage between him and tlie
young tlueen Maria da Gloria, all title to
whose hand her hopeful uncle Miguel has
forfeited. We do not know what truth
there is in the rumor.
Curious Ancient .Manuscript.—M.
Champollion, jun. who is about to embark
ut Marseilles tor Egypt, having inspected
a valuable collection of ancient manu
scripts in the possession of M. Sallier. an
inhabitant ofAix, has discovered two rolls
of papyrus relating to “The History and
Wars of the Heign ofSesostris the Great.”
These manucripts are dated the ninth year
of that Monarch's reign. Sesostris
Rhames, or the Croat, according to the
calculations of the Herman chronologies,
lived in the time of Moses, and was the son
as is supposed, of the Pharcah " ho per
ished in the Red Sea, while pursuing the
Isrealites. This remarkable document,
which, after a lapse of more than three
thousand years, M. Champollion has dis
covered, as bv a miracle, may contain de
tails, the interest of which will be readily
imagined, on some of the grandest inci
dents of Sacred History. On the *^d inst.
the Academical Society of Aix received
the report of M.^Sullicr, relative to this dis
covery. A thiril roll has also been tuund,
treating either on astronomy or astrology,
but more probably on both these sciences
combined. It has not yet been opened:
but it is hoped dial it will throw some addi
tional light upon the conceptions of the
Heavenly system entertained by tlie Egyp
tians and Chaldeans, the first People who
devoted themselves to that study.

From the Crawford Messenger.
Extract of a letter to a gentleman in ttus
jtlace dated
Washington City, Aug. 20. 1323.
“Your letter of the 6th inst. came duly
to hand.—In answer to your enquires in re
lation to what Christian denomination
president Adams belongs, I enclose (for
vour information on the subject) a state
ment certitied by James H. Handy, late
treasurer, now secretary of the 2d Presby
terian church in the city of Washington,
which I expect will lie sufficiently satis
factory to you that Mr. Adams belongs to
the Presbyterian order of Christians.”
Washington City Aug. 16, 1823.
“Mr. Adams rented a pew in the second
Presbyterian Church, in Washington city,
the 1st Oct. 1322, at the rate of $50 per
annum, and continued at that rate until the
1st of April 1825, when he purchased the
pew- for 8225, subject to the annual rent ot
*30—and the pew is now his property in
lee simple.
“On the 27th of Mav, 1823, he was c
lectcd by the congregation one of the trus
tees, in which capacity he served until
May, 1825, being two years, during which
time he was one of the most attentive
members of the board. During the peri
<xl Mr. Adams was a trustee, the church
was involved in debt and frequent meetings
of the board were necessary to devise
ways and means to relieve it. On one oc
casion when the treasurer stated to the
board thai the carpenter was in great dis
tress lor his money and would bo compel
leu tosueine nuiming commuiee, mr. ,\u
ams said “gentlemen 1 will loan £000,
if the other members of the board will loan
an equal sum”—to make £1200, thea
rnou.it due to the carpenter on the contract.
The other members required some time to
consider (their means being limited)—
Mr. Adams said, “if the treasurer will call
on me he shall at once have the £000. The
pastor of the church feeling a lively inter
est in the concerns of the church, culled
himself o.i Mr. Adams for the money, who
asked where the other £600 was to come
from, and on reply of the pastor “that he
did not know,” Mr. Adams immediately
drew a check for the full amount £1200.
This smn has l>eon reduced from time to
time by the payment to Mr. Adams ofstnall
sums. The treasurer lias several tunes
expressed to Mr. Adams that the board of
trustees would think unfavorably of them
for their delay in payment, hut Mr. Ad
ams has always said “gentlemen make
yourselves easy—pay me when you can.”
The last time this subject was mentioned
to him he told the treasurer to “pay theo
tlier debts first.”
On the 2d of July 1920, he made a
donation to the church, of..£50 00

“'The amount of Mr. Adams’ contribu

lar collections taken up on the sabbath for
the co.itingeilt expenses, charitable and
Presbyterian purposes cannot be ascertain
ed; but from liis known liberality to such
objects, there can be no doubt but that they
were considerable.
It may be observed that Mr. Adams was
amongst our most attentive hearers until
our late pastor left us—No weather kept
him from church on Sabbath afternoon.
On Monday 7th July current, an election
took place in the church for a pastor to
supply the vacancy occasioned by the re
signation of the Kev. Mr. Baker. Mr.
Adams was present and gave his vote in
person, and after having expressed deep in
terest in the matter, remained nntil the
votes were counted, when it appeared the
Rev Luther Hasley was unanimously elec
ted.
“I certify that the foregoing is a cor

recorded on the books ofthe church.

^Ton-Consumption of the South.—The
resolutions which have been entered into
by the citizens of South Carolina and |
Georgia, to avoid the consumption of ar- j
ta les the produce or manufacture of Ken ;
tuck;G and otlier States friendly to the!
Tariff, seem to be put in practice, so far,
with perserving firmness. The fallowing
instance of it, we copy from a late Charles
ton Murcury:
Extract of a Utter from a gentleman near Camden.!
“You may be, perhaps amused to bear
th;<t. some days back, a wagon from Ken
tucky, loaded with bacon, arrived at Cam
den. No inducement could prevail upon
the inhabitants to purchase a single pound
of it. Tliey were told tliey could have it
at four cents, if they would take it. Tliey
would not take it upon any terms. The
wagoners said they should be ruined, if
they were compelled to take their bacon
back. They were told it could not be
helped. ThejKhen drove all the way to
the Bradford Springs, and offered their
bacon to Mr. C, who would not purchase
on any terms.’

LATEST FROM ENGLAND.
The packet ship Napoleon, Captain
Smith, arrived last evening from Liverpool;
whence she sailed on the 26th tilt, to which
date inclusive we have our files. The in
telligence hv this arrival is not ot much
i moment. There is no later news from the
i Russians; although many rumors were
afloat. On this subject the London Cour
ier of the 23d says—Our surprise at the
delay of intelligence from the seat ot war
increases daily. We might to day have
been in possession of intelligence ten days
later than the dates ot the last bulletin.
There are no accounts in the Paris papers,
to Thursday last, of any importance, i lie
Constantinople articles in them, and in the
German papers, me always liable to sus
picion.
The accounts from different parts of the
country respecting the harvest, were, with
the exception of Scotland, generally satis
factory.
Bv the last French papers vve learn that
the first part of the expedition to the Morea
sailed front Toulon. The convoy consist
ed of IS transports escorted by S men ot
war. On the following day the second
division, consisting of 30 more transports,
3 men of war, put to sea, for the same
destination.
Greece,—Mr. Stratford Canning arrived
at Ancona on the 30th and Made Kibeaif
pierre left Bolonga on the 31st to join him
there. Count Capo d’Istrias, after having
visited the head quarters of Gen. Church,
who is. with 1000 men between Metica
and Dragornestre, intended to return to
Poros. It was said that Ibrahim Pacha
had capitulated with the Allied Command
nrs and that he was to evacuate the Morea
in three weeks.
It was reported mat tne l»urc oi i larence
had not actually resigned, and would re
sume the duties ofhis high station. Anoth
er rumor is, tliat Eearl Crey will be ap
pointed, to succeed his Royal Highness; but
a third, to which the most credit is given,
is that the office will again he distributed
among a number of Lords commissioners,
beaded by Viscount Melville. Another
report gives the first Lordship of Admiralty
to the Eearl of Maryborough.
The Russian Rear Admiral, SO gun ship,
Champencise, that parted from the squad
ron in the late gale oil’ Sicily, has not since
been heard of, and fears are entertained
lest she has foundered at sea. Report
says that this is the case, and that all hands
perished. The other part of the squadron
remains in Plymart.
It is stated that Don Migual is eager to
have proposals made in his name, to the
Princess of Havana, to whom lie formerly
oflercd his hand.
6ir Henry Torrens, the adjutant general,
had been killed by a fall from his horse.
The packet ship Pacific, capt. C'roker,
in which Mr. Harbour, our minister to the
eourt of St. James, was a passenger arrived
at Liverpool in 20 days from this port.
LONDON, Aug. 25.
At a late hour last night a Flanders mail
arrived, bringing Hrussels pajiers to the
23d inst. from which we have extracted the
following articles:
Trieste, Aug. 9.—According to the
accounts given by the captains of ships,
Ibrahim Pacha has received from his fath
er permission to evacuate the Morea, with
notice that the transports necessary to fetch
him and his troops, have already sailed
from Alexandria. It is therefore believed
that before the French expedition arrives,
Ibrahim Pacha will have left it.
Constantinople, July 25.—The ac
counts from the theatre of war, which the
government has reserved to itself the right
of publishing, are all very favorable to the
causo of the Turks, and inspire the porte
with fresh courage. According to the first
Turkish bulletin there was an action near
Hazanjik, with a division of Russian cav
alry, in which the latter had great difficul
ty in koeping the field. The following
bulletins, up to the 20th July, which treat
of the attempts on the 15th and 20th, a
gamst Varna, which is defended by the
captain Pacha, in which Russians arc stat
ed to have been’ defeated with very great
loss, also to have suflered much at Wid
den, Rudschik, Choumla, and Chuirgewo,
has filled the people with enthusiasm, and
rendered the public mind much more easv.
About 60,000 men have already entered
their names in the lists of Chosseres Pa
cha, and hundreds of artisans daily come
to oiler their service*. The resolutions of
government to expel the Creeks from the
capital, has not yet been executed, but
seems to be only deferred, as the Porte
looks upon the Creeks with distrust,
through their chiefs, and especially the
Patriarchs, endeavor to show the greatest
fidelity, and a prayer is read in all the
Creek Churches for the happy issue of the
war.
Brishels, Aug. 22.—News from the
army in Turkey, from the 23d to the 27th
