This very letter, we have no doubt, was the prime cause (if append iig those queries to the duties of the cen sus takers. If there is any thing wrong imL the matter, the President could only be culpable so far as his signature of the hill might involve him. The bill was the work of Congress." a Mr. Webster in his great Speech lately made at Saratoga, held the following lan guage: "One of the gentleman of the South, of that Nullifying State ltights pa,-y that has absorbed the Administration, or been ah-rtied by it, comes boldly out with the declaration that the period is arrived for a direct tur on land, and among the reasons assigned for this project is this one. that it will bring the North to the grindstone. Ie shall see, before this contest is orer, who will be the parties ground, and who 1t grinders." We sup)ose that the "dentlemstl of the South" to whom Mr. Webster had refer eice is Mr. Rhett, who no doubt did as sign as a reason for prefering n system of firect taxation, that instead of being a bur len to the South and a benefit to the North it would he a burden to both alike, (as all taxes ought to be). If to use Mr. Web ters own words, it would bring the North W the grindstone. would it i.ot equally ring the South to the grindstone! But what does Mr. Webster mean by he declaration that. wce shall see before this ,ontest is ovrr who will be the parties grounl nd icho the grinders? It is impossible to mictake his meaning He exults in anticipation over ihe glorious prospect that upon the election of General larrison, which lie professes to regard as ibsolately certain, we are again to have a tystem of taxation which will bring the South, and the South alone to the grind dtone for the benefit of the North or rather if the Northern nanufacturers-in other ords the Tariffis to he revived. We have long believed that this hope was one of the chief contributers to the r.eal which animates the Harrison party at the North. Now we have it from the highest authority. What will Mr. Weh ster's Southern allies say to this-the Pres ons, the Thompsons, the Dawsons, &c. They know that the eflfort is to be made. yet they say not a word about it to their constitients, and when the strugle comes they will endeavour to disguise their treachery by abundance of empty .bluster ing. But we say to the Northern specttla tolrs and Southeri traitors that iv'en if they should succed in electing Harrison (of which we have no apprehension) their ef forts to establish a Bank and revive the 'ariff will he in vain. For even if they should triumph at Washiigton it would only be to rouse the slumbering energies W, Nullification.

He mentioned, incidentally, that he was 46 years of ae and frot childood to the pesent day hie had swalloived at the aver rge rate of six gallons of water every 24 tors! Ca pt Bealq, the conmmandler of the toat, besides several other persons on oard who had formterly known htim an a esdnt of H inghanm, very distinctly recol lected the talkt hat this eiiormous constttp !iont of cold water used to make in the eighorhood: atnd they all moreover, a greed in saying that Mr. Webb was a nman f veracity. The anti-hydrophobist is a 'ort, rather muscular man, with a yellow "t skin, has unif'ormly enjoyed excellet beath, and believes that he always shall, o long as he can obtain water. A phiysi :ian, tnow retired from practice, who was passenger, remembered how marvellons his case was cotnsidered, in his early pro. essional life. On being guestioned par iciarly with regard to some physiological oints, the subject of these remarks said hat he rarely pierspiredl. hut it seemed to tim that all the water lhe dtrunk passed off' apidly by the bladder. He invariably has. leveral gallons of wvater by the side of' his. ed to gtetich this raginig thirst through he night-and if, by any means, the ustual mipply were wvithheld, it would be impos. ile for him to sleep.
