Respective Sir: it is with great plea,
sure te perform the duty assigted to us
by a vote of the Democratic Association of
Norfolk Borough. 4)f forwarding to you n
copy of the following preamble and .reso
lutiontwhich were unaunimously adopted
on the23 or August:
-Wherens, the Republicans of the Bor
ough of Norfolk, in general meeting as
!embled. having heard of tie withd awal
of John Tylor, President of the U. Stateq.
as a Cinalidate for re-election to tie Presi
dential ollice, do unanimously resolve,
That, they deem this a proper' occasio
to express their high sense of the mail
istinguished services which during hi
able, dignifid, and prosperous admini
tration of public affairs, he has rendered
o. his country; and of the lofty. pure. and
patriotic motives by which he has bn*t
overned in fulfiling the responsihle tri
onfided. to him by the people; and anti
ipatitg that -jndgnent of impartial hi
ory" to which he hTas appealed to vindi
ato his reputation against the reckless
issaults of unscrupulous adversaries, they
)elieved their Repuplican friends through
he United States are now prepared to
iward-.iim all that he has asked-all that
is famerequires-JU'T1CE.
We are, with respect, your obedient

Genil'einen: Your letter, forwarding
he resolutions adopt d -in the 23 August
iv the Democratic Association, claims
nd receives my mosti profound acknow
ed;:ments. The kind expressions. .ew
loyed by the resolutions towards me,
ave been more acceptable, from the fact
hat. as the citizens of Norfolk and Port
outh were among the first to step for
ard and deferid me againist the attacks of
host of assailants, so now also when all
ny personal interest has ceased in connec
on with the approachin. Pielidentiale3

an I he indiffirent to the fact. 'that what
nay remain of my life is destined to be
massed in their vicinity-their good opin
otn, therefore, is of the priceless value to
tie. and their "resolutions" conveying to
no that opinion, n ill be boarded in my
remory as amongst thd most precious re
!ollections of mIV past life.
The voice of prophecy Itered by one
tfyour fellow citizens (whose exalted
alents. united - ith the highest moral and
)m'itical worth, has won for his name a
igh distinction) indulged, anterior to the
lection of 1840 in predictions which w'-re
tut tot) noar realized. _Auticipa ting the
lectioi of General Harrison and myself
he probable demise of General Harrison

is the Vice President-he dred in the

elfof'what would be my situation (n the
securrence of' such contingeticies. Hbi

nent-every thing into the hands of the
>litical managers. lie depicted fearful
:ombinations which I would have to en
.ounter and even anticipated my reigna
tion, as a measure to be forced upon me.
[-ow near these predictions were being
realised the country has had fair opportu
nity to knowV. Because 1 would not sanc-:
tion measures, which to have sanctionid
with my knownm opinions concerninetihem
would hatve covered- 'me with disgrace, I
was' dentunced-my 'name rendered a
bye wo~rd of reproach-the harshest, and
foulest abuse cast upon rme by an affiliated
press-and burning emlgies made to re
lect their light along the streets of our
cities. All this..was accompained by ihe
rsignation of. an entire Cabinet save a

There can be but litlelifficuly in draw

was eitber so ite as to. merge.all

more feeble and impotent in the exercise'
of an independent mind and judgement
than a Vice Preilet idt. I considered the
path of my dutyr.wns clearfy marked out
before me, and I.resolved to pursue it.
I have been reared in tile vicinity of
Norfolk and Portsiouih.. M-any of their
citizens have known me from early youth.
They knew-I reel a'proud consciousness
of the fact-that dishonor could never
attach itself to my character or, conduct.
They vindicate me then andi by their
resolutions, they avow publiclitheir opin

nearat hand-the experimeni has been
fairly made, and I shall under rovidence
leavo the Government, to those .who may
come after me in all its diferenrdepart

unaltered in its letter or true import.. I
am content.
I pray you to make known these senti

of the States, and tinder our system, the
converse is almost as universally true
Interest in the principles of .the Statr
Rights school, therefore, is not conibed to
any particular seciion.or exclusive clique
On the contrary they involve the existence
of democratic government itseif, and the
friends~ of the last cannot be indifferent to
the fGret. They appeal to the rule of mor
al obligation ii every hea '. for they pres
ent a question( of chartered rights, and all
ronest men moist admit that the deed
should be construed as it is,' although
they may desire that it should:have been
otherwise. To the lriends of the Union
and of the general harmony of the States,
they make the highest possible appeal, for
they .preslnt the. only certaini means by
which we may seenre both to the lasting
glory and happiness of our people. . For
ourselves, we believe that these ends can
only he ;nttained by preserving in integrity
the be-tutilful anti nell ordered system of
governunent which our fatlers have given
us, and wo to the man who-shall lay on.
hallowed hands upon it. . Thetr can te
nothing more beautiful in'political th'eory
than our system as developed in the con
stitution by tihe State Rights rule f con
struction. Nor would it be difficult to
.der.ostrate thatthie most serious difficul
ties to'which our general governmtent has
been exposed. have arisen ouit o f a depart'
ure in practice from these salutary prin'ci
ples. rt is byt a strict adherence to the
constitution thus constructed, that our fed
eral government can .continittito condtuct
the march of Amerieati-civilination,and
the -progress of our people. .,. Under-the
opposition .principles' of ad ministering' in
its'powers, this' advance would become
impossible, as it would increase the' tumn
ber and bitterness of. those' sectional col
lisions which would he introduced wvithin
ths hosntn of the' General 'Governmetnt, 'by
this verycotnstruction,. which' invites..ifer.
ences,. when there'-are' no' meahs'ofcomn

to the American genius'is the State Righits
theory of our systeint which extends tts
capacitier, with' the mamrch of-our people,
'and: fulfls all the detmands which cani be
made by their progress!" Elih nev 'State
or peolj wito may be associat'ed'with us
to the client ofrtheir-common itrest and~
fcelings,'an~d- to that extent only; would in
crease the strength' and extend thte.hene'
ficience of our institutionts. The difference
in' oational eaenius. wthich t're inevitable
in so large a confederacy, would then cease
to preseot feormidhble diffienties for they

'THE PRESENI TARIFF REDU1
CED THE PRICE OF' COTTON.
We find in the lasi . iobile Register a
table showing the prices at. which cotton
has sold in Mobile since October..~1830,
down to June .pasit, inctusive.. Ti.e i-i
ces aire stated for each. month of the cotton
season, commencing with .October of eacli
year and ending with Juue.. The average.
for each year is also given : the crops of
1842-'43 and 1843-'44,have aveiage4
lower.prices than those. of any previous
year since '30., .Withont having made the
calculation, we should say, from .glaicing
over the figures, that the . qvcrage prices
for twelve crops preceeding that of 1842
'43 are nearly 50 per cent, higher thRn for.
!he last two crops. ...The crop of H39 '40
vias the.largest ever raised in . the United
States-the average prices that year for
inferior".and ogood fair,".and all inter
mediate'grades, vere, 84 0.81 cents; for
1S42---'43.the averages ..jwer!. 51 a 8; for
ro 1813-'44 6A a 8. ow.lie iflerence
in price between either 06of t o last
naned years,' and a'ny, otheq,ro .O

is near 50 per cent.
No man ca examine this lable wi lbot
bing fully convinced that.some powerful'
:anse has been affecting the .price of cot-'
to for the 'ati '.rwo years. ...The only
fuestion . is wo/ls is that cause? Some
ear friend of the present tariff. replies;
that the two last cropb . have been heaLvy.'
We reply that several crops conporatively
large have been grown since 1830.--ive
therefore reject his answer as pnsatisfacto.
ry.. ..Ve are, aware. that abianamat crops
necessarily affect prices, provided" the de.

within the last fifteen years. ..The increase
in.the demand husbeen.Iwe have very libile
doubt, as great as the increise in the sup
