A little while ago, neither of them could have been elected a doorkeeper of the house of delegates, in evidence of the reliance of that house on their political integrity or private worth, and they were called by many hard names. But these gentlemen, We years ago, heard it given as a reason why congress without change in their politics or morals, have lived to did not legislate on the subject, that the members did laugh at and despise their opponents, and to envelope not understand it.

Thus prehensible. The best legislators may be very indiffer--but at a vast distance, and in respect to a particular subent mathematicians.

WEIGHTS AND MEASURES. It is much to be regretted that standards for these were not long since established by congress. The luminous report on the subject by Mr. Adams, while secretary of state, remains disregard- | ed on the shelf, and the public is suffering many and serious nconveniences on account of this neglect of the national government. New York has undertaken to establish standards of weights and measures. It appears that they vary considerably from those now in use; and we see it stated, that it will cost the dealers in the city, only, not less than $100,000 to supply themselves with new measures and weights, according to the law which is to go into operation on the 1st Jan. 1850; and it will also cause much trouble and calculation, when buying of or selling to the people of other states.

CASTOR OIL. Among the queer things of "these our days," we notice a communication of Mr. Edward A. Broddus, in the Georgia Journal, dated Monticello 28th Jan. 1829, informing the public that his "triend Dr. D. A. Reese" had manufactured some "anti tariff castor ail," a specimen of which was sent therewith; saying that he had made 600 bottles last year, “notwithstanding the dry weather," &c. and telling as how that he expressed and clarified it, &c. &c.

ject, when individuals would reason upon it, "Mathew Carey" and "Hezekiah Niles" are named, and the argument is concluded.

"Mathew Carey" has retired from the tariff "arena”—— but is eagerly pursuing other objects to benefit his fellow men, and especially to ameliorate the condition of the poor. His benevolent and vigorous mind cannot remain inactive; and his hand is always ready to second the thoughts of his heart. It is a proud thing to hear one's name associated with his--for a more honest, charitable and disinterested patriot, never lived than Mathew Carey, Such oil has long been made in the United States-in and so he will long be esteemed. When the ephemeral Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, and Ohio.

It is much better, because happy freemen. We take the liberty to say this of our of its freshness, than the imported, and a great deal venerable friend, because that, as just above stated, he has cheaper. A quantity was exported to England, to help retired from the contest, and, as we apprehend, with a a little in payment for calicoes, (seeing that our bread-resolution to take no further part in it. And this we sinstuffs were not taken in exchange for them), and our cerely regret-for the time is approaching when the best farmers would have made handsome profits on their talents of the friends of the "American system" will be crops of oil, but British "tree trade" interposed, and, by required to preserve it, against the theorists of the south, a duty of 150 cents per gallon, rejected our supplies.

"All eyes, says will be recollected that Mr. Haile, a member of congress a late South Carolina essayist, are turned to the congress from Mississippi, when the present tariff law was under of 1830, for an alteration of the tariff and on that subdiscussion, thinking that castor oil might be advantage-jeet, it is apparent to us, that parties will be newly ously made in the south, though a most decided anti-formed. tariff man, was willing to protect its domestic product by a duty of "two dollars per bottle"*-not knowing that it was already supplied in quantities exceeding the domes tie demand; and that ten thousand dollars per bottle duty would not affect the price the ten thousandth part of a cent. This Georgia "anti-tariff oil" is called "homemade." If the manufacture of flax shall succeed as it promises, in being spun and woven by machinery like cotton, how will Mr. B. like to hear the linen goods of the middle and eastern states called "home-made” and antisouthern, to induce people to use them instead of cotton?

*As the ordinary bottle contains only the 5th of a gallon, the proposed duty would have amounted to about seven times the selling price of the oil. What would Mr. Traile think of a dute of seventy cents per Ih. on cotton? |

In speaking of the resolutions above referred to, the Richmond Whig says-"The report and resolutions against the tariff were adopted by the house of delegates on Saturday; the minorities on the several resolutions, varying from 63 to 75. It requires no prophet to tell, that this is the last year, in all probability, that a Virginia legislature will pass equivalent resolutions. The change of opinion, in favour of the tariff, is advancing with great rapidity, and has already embraced men who a year or two ago voted for similar resolutions to those just adopted. The fate of the resolutions in the Senate is thought doubt
