LETTER FROM MK. VAN BUREN.

We arp proud to occupy our columns with the subpined interest ng corrpsponder.ee. The reply of Mr. Van Buren to the veiy excellent letter addressed to hiin by our State Committee is eminently chiracteristic of that great and good man, and will give hiin enhanced claims upon tiie esteem and ventral ion of everv lie stiles a last not generally know lo our citizens, or perhaps, known nt all. So long as Mr. Buchanan occupied the a competitor for the President in 1 nomination, it would seem Mr.

Van Buren uniformly des'red hisown friends in this State to waive all thrir predilections for and unite with the ret of the D-mocracy of Pennsylvania, in support of the claims of their own distinguish ed favorite. Tins was repeatedly and unreservedly communicated. We have in this conduct but another of the many practical exciiijil fications of perfect submission to ill" will of the majority, by wlrch the public career of Ex-President has been uniformly governed, and is an instance of generous s- If-dcniul, which cannot fail to meet with pr apprvcint on the hands of Mr. Buchanan, as well as of his numerous and devoted friends. But there is yet another aspect, in which the letter of Mr.

Van Buren commends it-elf strongly to public approval. How admirably it contrast with the puerile and sic' ly ulnjf that has recently emanated from the pen of Mr. Clay Tlio one those great principles of Government, upon which rests the whole -uperstructure of our free institutions, and places the i sue exclusively upon the important results to be apprehended from public measures. The otiicr studiously skulks from a fair examination of these principles, thrusts out of view rent character of the contest, and literally wastes his swectne on the desert by discussing the merits of a bottle of sweet-scented Cologne, or the beauties of a banner-slaif, cut from the shady groves of Ashland! The one manifests an index-1 ible determination to conduct the canvass with due re-1 spect to the important issues which it other seeks to divert public attention from them by the introduction of matters wholly irrelevant and trashy The one predicates his claims to success upon the purity of his past life, his consistent devotion t-j the immutable principles of f) mocracv. and the virtue and intelli- gence of his country men The other bases pros- i pccts of advancement upon th- supposed gullibility of those with whom lie has to deal, and the imaginary po-' tency of every species of harlequin trick and amusement! The course of the one a high and deserved compliment to the American people, whilst the coursc of the other is eminently an insult, worthy the sternest reprehension and rebu' e- Lj c.ich a contest, involving principles of such magnitude, it be a upon the intelligence of trie American pe ipie.

presume tint! they can again be ivtd iiv trie tit i debaucheries campaign jl lo40. But we cherish no gloomy The honor and integrity of the American nati trampled contemptuously under loot the la-' campaign, wiil be triumphantly indicated in the nut, and the great experiment of free government will thus receive additional iovigaration at our hands. li.tniiiSBt'RG, Jan. Van Putrcn: Dear this letter you will receive a copy of the proceedings of a State Democratic Mass Meeting, held at the seat of (iovermncnt of Pennsylvania, on the 17th instant, which we have the honor to forward, in compliance with a resolution adopted at the Meeting. The Democracy of Pennsylvania, ci mmon with their brethren of other are anxious to wine away the stain which rests upon our country in consequence of the result of the election in H40.

It will he a glorious reversal of that to rc-instute you in the position ivnicfi you filled with such distinguished honor to yourself, ai.d advantage to the couritn; and a return to those Republican principles which characterized your administration, and that of your will give assurance to the friends uf liberty, th.it our Republican institutions are destined to be perpetuated W'e ought iicver to despair of tlie KepQblic, when the popular voice is left to the guidance of reason and virtue; now, these are in the ascendant; lltcn, reason was dethroned, and a whirlwind of passion, fully, and madness, swept through the land. The deceived votary, I ike the wanderer in the desert, led by the mifogr, 11rested on to grasp the dvlusive representation. The -ober second thought will redeem us lVurn errors, and place tlie American character popular suffrage in the hijdi position to which they are justly entitled. V'our linn and indexible adherence Republican principles, our admiration, and fully entitles you to the warm -uppjit of every Democrat and friend of his country, and in so doing he feels tlie assurance that he is advancing and ning those principles which directed a Jefferson, a Madison, and a Jackson. Be pleaded to accept the assurance of our high re gard.

1 cannot refrain from siying, that 1 have received your communication with feelings of no ordinary clnracter. An expression of opinion eu imposing that which you have been deputed to nvey me, coming from any portion of my political could not fail, at any me, to excite my profound gratitude. There are circumstances, however, at'ending this, which seem to deserve a more particular notice at my hands My relitions with tiie Democracy of ynnr great State have been in some respects peculiar. They sustained me by their confidence and support, at a most interesting crisis in my political career 1 have been honored and cheered by good will, when it was not in their power render it effective, arid their support was at one time withheld from me and rrert upon another, when 1 received that their political brethren of the Union. Why should 1 not embrace an occasion so opportune, and poss'hly ti last tint may occur, to assure lh.Mii, that neither then, nor at any other time during the whole course of my political life, have 1 ever, for a moment, iiibted their disprs tion to do mo ample just-ce A.though dissented fruin my nomination, I felt assured that they were aetoaled by motives which were entitled to my entire respect 1 have, therefore, never ceased to cherish, in common with the friends of our cause throughout the Union, towards the unconquerable, and dm tlie fullest experience has proved, the unpurchaseable Democracy ot Pennsylvania, sentiments of sincere respect for theii adherence to Deinocritic principles under ci ro is ces the most adverse, ami a dui ra iJn of the unfaltering spirit with which they have, from tune to time, with domestic 1 cannot, therefore, gentlemen, too higi.ly r-cirt" an expression of conlidence and favor, procei u.h.j so respect jr.

tion of them, on 1 is? oo which mv name can ever be prcsei.teJ to the country for anypublic station. Yet these are not (heonly Considerations which give interest to the proceedings which you havj transmitted to ine. It ii kuown ti all, and by no one n. rc cheerfully admitted than by my self, tint a large majority o' our political friends in Pennsxivin a preferred the honor, which whin you represent have now so cordially awarded ine, iinuld be bestowed upon a justly distinguish-d of ibeir own admirably qualified fur the successful dischirge of any public duty, and possessing likewise, in an eminent degree, the confidence and good will of the Democra-' cy of the Union. It certainly becomes others br'trr than myself, to comment o-i the propriety of withdrawal from the canvass, when it had been ascertained that the shrsoi ins more immediate friends were not, for reasi n3 however not detracting from the merits of their favorite, in i u.tii those of the great body of their political brethren in oilier 1 should ucl, however, do justice to the occasion, nor to hiy own feelings, were 1 to puss over in lence the fact, thai but lor this surrender ol pretensions to ptomi the general harinouy, the proceedings lor which 1 am ollering my g'atdul acknowledgments, could not now have tikeri place.

will it, 1 hope, be thought amiss in any (juurter, mail myself ol the occasion to slmw, inn'- this commendable d-sue to promote unanimity among common friends had previously, though to a less important ext. in, been acted upon bv myself. It is well known, that oinirt the prevailing preference of the Democracy of I'ennsylvania her distingU'shrd sui, there was a portion of iheni, of whose confidence any p'iblic man might well be proud, who avowed a preference, which they had early imbibed, and zealously cherished, for It is not, however, so well known, that, without attempting to interfere with their free exercise of opinion, I caused them to be informed, that as far as my individual feelings were concerned, it would be entirely satisfactory to have them unite wrli 'he slot our political friends the Slate, 'Is" Convention to him who was. the elf see of a majority That this nugges tson had not been adopted, was, h-el assured, not I.e. cause tit ii it was ad.fr.

ssed were Ir? Irisniii ly liie of the State, or sensible of his claims upon the respect and confidence of his countrymen, but altogi-th owing to considerations growing out of the contest of lb-10, which they deemed imperative. 1 cannot, 1 am confident, add any thing to the martcrly anu eloquent description which yon have given of tint national struggle. Neither am 1 unmindful of the bias, which the relation in which stood towards it, calculated to exercise upon my opini of its character. Vet 1 cannot, 1 think, deceive myself in believing that the justice of the cen sure which vou have pronounced upon those extraordinary scenes, will now, at least, be recognized by a vast majority of the American l'eople. However difficult it may then have been, to define with requisite certainty the political objects for which our opponents waged the eonti st of 13-10, there can now assuredly be no rosin for misapprehension upon that subject.

The extra session, following immediately upon its heels, unmasked tbose objects too clearly to admit of their being again obscured, or misrepresented An opportunity, and it is earnestly to be hoped that both patties wiil concur in endeavoring to make it a fair one, will, therefore, now be presented for the people of the United States to make a choice between two oppos jig systems fur the administration of their government, the influence of one of which, will in all probability affect the interests of the country, for good or evil, for a series of years to come. Nor is the only, ncr even the most important aspect, in hich the renewal of the contest ol which you have spoken with much and tn so patri' a sp'rit, may well fcc regarded. Singol ir as it may seem to those who are not in rf the cireumstmces, it is' I Hcvrtie-leMJ tru--, that condemnation by ti people of ihe 1' uited States, man of the means to which I our opmuieuts had recourse in cai.vr.s-, is not less ii.iu to tin- Ttnanet'l of '-ur country and its political institutions, than the overthrow ol the principles they labored establish. While the effects of the success of the latter were in a measure limited and temporary, the employment of the former struck at the foundation upon which our political edifice was It has hitherto been our pride to live under political institutions which are founded upon reason and virtue, in the esttblminent of which neither force nor fraud wa? employed, and we have cherished Ihe belief that it is only by ari inflexible of the exalted principles which prevailed ct the pfriod of formation, that our Government can be upheld. Without more particularly noticing the humiliating details to which you allude in your communication, can it be tended that tln-re could be any expectitun of success for such efr'-rts, unless founded upon the assumption that the popular voice was not "under the guideai.ee of reas and virtue," or upon the supposition, that the moral prmoiples of the people to whom tho9e degrading appeals were made, might he corrupted by i resort to Mj' The belief that the of such ans ceiitr.buted to the resultof 540, must have lowered the character of our people in the estimation of mankind, nr.d if oo, how much would their respect or us be diminished, should trip coming canvass he so conducted, as to establish the impression that Ihe Aine rican people are liable to be always thus imposed upon.

Liabil ly to occasional error is an infirmity from which no ind.vi fua! is exempt. What r'ght have we t'len to e.rp'ct that tn tiLRilicstJi he it iSut there is a ivule fl between an acasionil aberration, a confirm'd deleft ol cisaraot r. Can we expect the people i.f jfiis country ti maintain the tlevaieri standing in eyes the world, which liiey have hi'herto enj tyed, il, after the 'apse of years, and the fullest opportunity for reflection, they suffer themselves to be a second time operated upon by appliances, from the use of which every friend of free Government must turn with mortification and disgust? Ynu do therefore, gentlemen, in my judgment, over-estimate the importance winch the proceedings of 1640 are destined ti give to those of 164-1. Considerations will be brought into view by thst connection, of grater magnitude than any which have ever been involved in our pohtif al conflicts, and compired with which all personal and parly interests dwindle into insignificance.

I'm Duren und Mr. Clay on the Tariffs contrasted. The ojiiiiiojjg of these vo nifii on the subject of the TnrilT, are as opposite ns light an! darkness. The policy ol the one is friendly, other hostile foreign commerce. Mr.

Cloy tivor of protection, the salt of protection in favor of discrimination or diflVr I'ncea in duties, for the- sole and fjiiliisive of benefitting different -sea of industry. If a duty laid ou revenue principli is not sufficiently protective, is in favor of increasing the duty, with the sole view of protecting the interests of the manufacturing classes. Timt our renders may see that we do not rnisrrpre sent Mr. (-lay, we will stUe his views as expressed by himself in Ins hsi speech in ihe Senute of the United Sm'es, Mircli 4th, 1642 In tins speech, Mr. Clay entered into a view of what he termed "a true public policy" of the United States.

His remarks were made in anticipit nn of retirement from public life, with a desire Hut Lis countrymen should fully understand the line ol policy he would pursue if called upon to fill a more dign'fted station. Hear him: it is siul that, by the adoption of our fixed ar? bitrary maximum of nd valorem duty, we shall not dej rive that measure of protection which is expected; and I admit that there maybe certain articles, the product of the mechanic mis for example, us shoes, hats, land ready-mnde clothing, und sugar, iron and pepper? some or all of which may not derive the protection which ihey need under the plan 1 propose. On that subject I ran only say what 1 said al the time of the ol tiie Compromise Act: if some few articles shnll not prove to be sufficiently protected beneath the I established maximum rate, 1 should hope that in the (spirit of harmony and ccmpromise additional above that sufficient to afl'-rd reasonable protec-1 tiou to those few articl by general consent would be impt s-'d. 1 not prepared to say whether rule I have sujgi o' will afToul adequate pri ct.on to I jiii.s-1 or fear it may nril Cat if she ct be look- at in the spirit of patri-1j ism, wtrioot pariy bias or loral influences, it will be found the few articles alluded to, nre so tlis? tributed, or ere of such a nature as to furnish the grounds of Iriertily adjustment. 'J'he interests of the sugar of the may then set against the iron ol the centre, tt.e production of the merhanio arts, wliich, although prrva ling everywhere, are the most concentrctFd tt the North.

there is essential article of is a great central interest; whether it will require a higher degree of protection than it will derive from such a system as 1 have sketched, 1 have net sufficient information to decide; but this I ain prepared to say, that question will be with the Representatives of those Slates which are chiefly and if their iron is sufficiently protected, they must make out their case to be un exception to lhe eenrrnl arrangement 1 airsm siv, I em willing to follow, but 1 will not Now, wc to the people of the South and West, and the friends of Free Trade everywhere, the policy of Mr. Clay is well defined. There is no ambiguity, lie tvorof protection, exclusive of revenue, and all iie a-ks is, that if the various interests of our people want a higher protection than will be afforded by a revenue duty, to slate their and it shall be granted, lie would, in order to win the South, advocate a protective duty on sugar, and in order to the centre, he would protect iron. So of ihc different sections of the Union having different interests i.e would plunder the great mass of agriculturists and consumers to support and protect class interests. This the policy of Henry Clay! lie has no constitutional difficulties; but calls upon those engaged in the several spccies of industry to make out tiicir case, Ihc decree of protection require, and it ought to be granted.

Now, what are ti-vyie ws of Van Burpn lie would limit roiect i-n affo vi-d by the Tariff, to that which would accrue from a pun- revenue outy; and oil h's tcriminaMons icottld be below the maximum, of urse made for other purposes than t-rtirn. us explain the meaning of the word maximum, as used by Mr. Van Buren and Mr. Calhoun .7 maximum duty is of duty thai icill bring into the Trrasury the greatest amount of money. Consequently, if the duty should go above maximum, the jevenue would foil off, and il would I be purely a Protective dulj.

Such a duty would prohibit importation, and give to the home manufacturer a monopoly of the markt and tax the consumers for Ins benefit, liut if the maximum rate of duties should bring more money into the Ireasuiy than the necessities of Government should require, tho rate of duly can bo lessened, and thus the revenue decreased, and this is what is meant by "discriminating btlow the This species of discrimination, instead of increasing the protection to the home manufacturer, I ease its it. Hut discriminating above the maximum has an opposite effect; il not only In tens the revenue, but it increases the protection, and taxes the people for a double the support of Government and for the protection of the manufacturer. It is true, that duties, even when laid for revenue solely, are in a degree pro leclite in their character; hut the protection is purely incidental, or perhaps the word inevitable would be better. Some have used the word accidental to explain the kind of protection that results from the duties being laid on revenue principles solely; but this is of all terms the most objectionable. There is no such protection as accidcntul protection.

1 lie term is a fallacy. Not a dollar can eoino into the Treasury (unless it arises upon the importation of articles not grown or lade here,) without affording protection to the grower or manufacturer, lience, it will be seen that protection is inevitable, nut accidental. Nu.v let us see what Mr. an Buren says in'his Indiana letter: the Convention speck of a discriminating Tariff for revenue, I understand them as referring to dipcriininat ons btlow the maximum rate of duties, not designed to increase the protection already afforded to domestic manufacturers; but to carry out views of policy different in their character and which inay properly be embraced in such a measure." Can the pol cy of two men be more antagoniatical, than that of Mr. Van Buren and Mr.

Clay? Mr. Van Buren says all of his discriminations are for other purposes than protection; while those of Mr. Clay ire for protection solely. The one would discriminate above tin maximum, and thus lessen the revenue and increase the protection, and add to the burdens of the community; the oilier would discriminate bcluic the maximum, and lessen the burdens of the community, and at the same time increase the revenue. These different Bytterns of supporting the Federal Government, are us wide apart as the des.

That of Mr. Clay operates unequally on different sections of the country, taxes some more and others less, benefits particular'classes nt the expense of the rest, and is calculated to foster jealouses, and engender ill-reelings between those engaged in different pursuits. That of Mr. Van Buren would be the least burdensome to the whole people; would not operate unequally on the people of different sections of the country, or, at leatt, whatever inequality should exist, would he inseparable from the defects of our system of taxation; and if, as In? recommends, discriminations were made below the nnximum, for the purpose of equalizing the burdens of closes by inxing the luxuries of the rich h'jjher than the necet'snries of the poor, as near an approximation r.n possible, to equal und exact justice to the different ciisKs of our citizens under our indirect taxation, would result. Expenses Martin Van Buren's Whiffs continue to tell falsehoods about the expenses of Mr.

Van Buren's Administration These falsehoods have been so often refuted, that it is only necessary to call public attention to the facts, to show the utter recklessness and audacity of the Whig orators and presses. We presume, the testimony of Mr. F.wing, the first Secretary of the Treasury, under Mr. Tyler, will not he disputed in this matter. In reply to a call from Congress, he put down the whole expenditures of Mr.

Van Buren's Administration, as follows 1537, 00 1839. 25 443,716 94 1540, 22,389,356 31 Making a total of 53 Less than $23,000,000 per onnum. But this is by no means for the ordinary expenses Thrse sums are the whole disbursements except for the pul'lic debt nnd indemnities.

In both cases, the rales of duty is highest upon the least expansive qualities. In reference to "spun silk Handkerchiefs, and Dress Goods," Mercalor" says "Spun silk is made from the waste of silk, and is carded and spun like cotton. Handkerchiefs and dresses, to a large amount, were annually imported, until this Tariff law passed The cost of the yarn is about one-third to one-fourth of the price of Train or Organsine silk, yet, goodti made of it, are charged two dollars and fifty cents the pound weight, or nearly one hundred per cent, on cost." From the eighth table, it appears (hat the duty on flannels, commences the rate of forty cent, upon flannels costing fifty shillings per piece of forty, ci and runs up one hundred on Ihnneis costing twenty shillings per piece. The ticlc bought by the rich, pays less than half of the duly imposed upon the article bought by the poor. It also appears from this tible, that the duty on "Hvcking varies front eigh'y-nine ti one hundred and ninety per and on "Printed Floor Cloth Baizes," from forty -eight to eighty per cent.

In both cases, the duty rises, an the price diminishes. The next two tables are as follows Statcmemt of duties on Carpetine. by the Tariff Act of 30tli August, 1843. Description. Fine Ingrain, Super do.

Thi GRf.iT Commercial Excitement On every hand the evidences are multiplying in favor of the belief that the year 1844 will be marked, both in America and Europe, with extraordinary commercial excitement and activity. The first movement haa begun in cotton almost simultaneously in Liverpool and New York, and it will soon spread over the whole United States in New Orleans. Now we are glad to see these movements, and on right principles we shall aid them as much as we can. When the great staples of this country fetch a good price, every thing goes "merrily as a marriage bell." We have had several excitements political excitements; but of all excitements, commend us to that which puts money in the purse. The future looks brilliant with Arrival ok tuk British Special Envoy Her Itritannic Majesty's ship Vestal, of twenty-six Captain Charles Talbot, arrived early last evening from England, with the Right Hon.

Richard Packenham, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary from the Court of St. James, on board, as pis sengor. She left Plymouth on the 16th ultimo, the same day that the Europe left Liverpool, and, there-' fore, brings no later news. But we have received by her the Evening JUaiLt of tho 15th ultimo. Tip Vestal wa3 h-mrded by our news-boat, five niiies South of the Highlands, where she was left at anchor.

She has experienced very severe weather on her passage? m'jre particularly on the 25th and ultimo On the former day she was struck by a sea, which sprung her bowsprit, and knocked away the forecastle netting. And again, on the cth instant, only one hundred and sixty miles from Sandy Hook, she met with a terrific snow-storm, which drove her away to leeward. This clipper sloop-of-war, will be up lo the City this morning, when Mr. will land. It is said, that he will leave immediately for Washington, to enter upon negociations on the Oregon Question We suppose that the Vestal will remain here, to take home the Hon.

Mr. Fox, the present British Minister to litis country. It is thought, that in these new negociations, the Packenham family will meet with another New Orleans The United States Ship on Friday morning the Princeton st-am frigate, Stockton, left her moorings opposite the navy-yard at Philadelphia, for Wilmington (Del.) having in tow the brig Caraccas, bound for Laguayra. When, however, she had arrived off the Horse Shoe, she could proceed no lurther, the ice being so thick that her ice-breaker had no effect upon it The sudden check whieh sbe received instantly brought the Caraccas in contact with the stern-boat of the Princeton, breaking it to and one of the quarter-boats also was damaged. The hawser by which the brig was otlached to the frigst-? became entangled around the propeller, and was soon cut in two The brig then let g-i her anchor, and the Princeton, with great difficulty, worked through the ice.

So siy the Philadelphia papers of Saturday. The Princeton is bound for ihis port (Washington,) and is simewhere or other on her way, nothing having been heard of her.
