 ton altogether foreign to the practiss of modern days, the President has no doubt laid himself open to assaults (rom

 the friends of the tariff, and of broad construction; butprecisely y in proportIoe to the hostility which may be raised m against him from that quarter, should

 be the support afforded him by tbs friends of free trade and State rigbts

 We should indeed despair of the Re, public, if there were no virtue, indeuen. dence, and moral consistency enough ta sustain him, in those whose princlples are greatly advanced and established by his course. What motive. Mhat ;1 centiye can there be, for a noble and high-minded act on the part of one hold. ing high and responsible station, if he cannot meet with the appreciation of. those whose interests and political views alone are promoted by the sacri6ce?- That the restrictive party, and those who advocate perpetual taxes, and the permaneney of the public debt, should

 be dissatisfied with tue course of tbe

 President, was to have been expected

 But we cannot persuade ourselves that a single individual in the land, who pro- fesses a devotion to the principles re.

 ferred to, shall lend his aid to the ele- vation of men whose object it would be to riyit anew the chains which have now

 for time happily been loosed. For our own part, without the slightest de. gree of persona! bias on the subieet, We should consider ourselves as delaulting in the discharge of public duty, were

 we to withhold our anqaliaed approba- tionof theindependenee of course, which has done more, if properly sustained, to slay thedeyouring monsteragainst which our arrows have so long been aimed, than ali the argument and reasoning 5 that could have been penned by all the. free trade writers in the country.

 1Ae Workiag Allcrs.- Thc. question os "who are the working meng' is thus el- oqaently answered by tue Rochester Spirit of the Ages

 They are such as were the pilgrim

 fathers of America; they are in short the people of the United States, who

 having, in two hemispheres, for the last

 7W years, been struggling for their nat- uFal freedom, sand obtained it-have

 the same spirit to maintain, as they had to acquire. They are the men before. whose presence the wide forests of

 America have been for 1O0 years rap- idly and steadfastEy reced..s;, q! | e gre the men whose busy hammers, and cheering enterprise, resounds il our cit les and villages, and along the borders oi oiaIT inland seas, and whose canvass l flaps in the breeze en the broad waters of the world; whose laboTs make our vallies bloom; and crowns our hilis with the ripened sheaf; whose products hoat on the bosom of our broad rivers. Their voice IS heard from the shores of the kennebeck to the rifts of St. Marinex and their footsteps may be traced oa tle snow crowned mountains of Ver- mont, and New Hampshire, on the road to Santa Fe, and on the sands of Cali

 folnia. They have built our canals, made our roads, erected and and endowed our colleges, and more than all. estab- hshed our government, and in war and peace sustained its supremacy. Think you, that they will quietly permit an aristoracy togrow up amongthem, which shall control their circulating medium, manaele their government, create invid- ious distinctions in society, and reserve to itself the advantages of an extended education? They were schooled to the tender mercies of a blood-proud aristoc- racy thousand years ago, and having annihllated that, in cur country, at least, they have no disposition to receive in Its stead the cent, per cent, tyranny of a purse-proud one. They have sent forth their voice that they are, and will be free, and it is the duty of all 10 list Ien to It's cheering tones, for it will soon

 be found that they are exchanging be- tween themselves sentiments. which tend to nerve their hearts and brace

 their minds. They say with Cassius each to the other

 :" Men at some time, are masters of their

 fates;

 The .faah, dear Brutus, is not in our starsy ibut in ourselves that we are uaderlings."
