oCho'oi 'y 'hC u'iii'SldiiS pdily III tue Northern States. The great mass ol the democratic party in the Northern States. are the true friends of ihe South they have communion of feeling, and entertain an identity of principle with us. IL has been sufficiently ascertained. that high protective tariff adds nothing 10 the wages of he operative, ahd allho' there is grea; vigilance and energy con tnually exercised on the part of the loidly owners of the manufacturing es- tablishments, in the prosecution of their schemes of pInnder and profit, by con , gressionai enactmenis;-ihose schemes of plunder and profit, when successful, add nothing 10 the wages of the laooriag man: they increase the magniicence of the semi annual dividend, but yield no additional reward 10 the hand Of indus- try. The great body of lhe working men in the Northern States are there's fore democrats, and they are only in> 6uced to separate themselves from their brethren of the South, when msled by the clamor of demagogues. There is no place in the world where the princi, pies of political economy, are better un- derstood, than in the city of New York. The merchants of that city put an end 70 the United States Bank of Pennsyls vanla, and relieved the country of an institution which was endeavoring 10 emulate, in it's fraudulent aspirations, tue monster Bank crushed by the aveng ng hand of Jackson. The tariff of l846 will be sustained by the merchants of N. York, and the country delivered from the regeneration of a system of plunder and rapne, under preteace of fostering A American industry. Hence the cordi |. alty with which Mr. Lewis was greeted on his recent visit 10 that ciiy,-a ust tribute 10 hIs eminent SCI elvlces in the cause of free trade, and equal rights.

 A genuine whig IS genuine Bourbon. He forgets nothing and he learns noihlrg z Like the boy that his master hrea ened 10 nog for using crooked words, Rams horns if die by ." Under what cir. cumstances more favorable tn whig principles could the people of the U. s. DuNC UCVI SuiiN VI hA'oii ioi Sulii ges than al the late Pre- sidential election? According to their own presentations, the candidate of the whig party, was in comparably the superior of MT. Polk in knowledge. experience, practical siatemanship and talents. Notwiths,and ing, they were most signally condemn ed, and their principles rebuked by the people. And yet-th,s party have the folly 10 i'm agine that their Bank, tariff and internal improvement schemes can be again brushed up and under other auspices, submitted with greater hopes of success to the favorable consIdera ton of the people! Eternal vigilance is the practice of liberty. The circum- stances of the country call imperatively for the closest union of lhe whole de> mocraIic party. The protective policy the Bank humbug- and the improve ment schemes, can never obtain per manent footing in lhe country, if ihe Re publicans will continue to act with any reasonable degree of union and energy A true democrat belongs to lhe progress sive party. His principles are expansi' ble, and his patriotic heart is large enough to embrace the whole country There is a catholicily in the school oI strict construction. which renders more intimate the communion of the various sections of the country, while it hold: fast by the constitution, and prevents the federal machine from desenel aline into a consolidalion-or in other words fl om being converted into bloated and unwieldly monarchy. The vigilance necessary generated by contest fol the rights of the States, is perennial fountain, continually dffusing freshness vivacI,y, and interest irto our politlca pnlemics in the highest degree sa'u'a' " to the body polite, and beneficial te the cause of liberty.

 M. VoItaire, in one Of his beauilfu discourses, remarks that the easiest ant most certain way 10 compel all men to speak well of us, Is to do well. The spirit of lhis remark, furnishes the key to Mr. Lewis popularity. His public life is specimen of uniformity and con sisteGcy, which it is charming, and 1T the highest degree satisfactory, to th' beholder, to contemplate. The follow ing statements hastily thrown together and taken from the record will sustain lhls assertion.

 In locking into ihe journals of thu Legislature, we find that ihe Hon. Dlxor Fl. Lewis took his seat in the House 0 Representatives of this State, in No vember 1926, and continued membe of the House for the two succeeding sessions. Immediate ly after his en trance into the legislative body, he dis ,ingnished himself as debater, and e vinced a minute knowledge of all lh' matters that came before the legislature during these two sessions. At the frs session in 1926, among other efforts, h' became conspicious by display of su pelior abilities, upon certain resolutions iniroduce1 into the Senate of the Stat' by the Hon. Matt Clay, of Lawrence These resolutions avoweG the doctrin' of the Virginia and Kentucky resolu tions of l79S and '99. Of course MT Lewis took sides with the Republicans and sustained win great spirit and sue
