" We will cling to the Pillars of the Temple of Our Liberties. and if it must fall, we will per isA amidst the Ruins." In consequence of the great length of the Address of the Rev. Dr.- Johnson, which we published in our last, much selected and some original matter was omitted. We have how ever, inserted it in our columns of to-day. Thc -Jews in England.-In the House of Lords, on the 17th April, the Lord Chancellor obtained leave to introduce a bill to repeal the civil dissabities of the Jews, so fat as muni cipal and capital offences are concerned. It was read a first time, and has since passed. T/e East Indies.-The Supreme Govern tnent of the Anglo Indian Territories, accord ing to lite foreign papers, has andertuien a legal reform of great intfportance--which is to declare the law of England the general law throughout the whole country, and for all per sons except Hindoos and Mahomtnedans. Education in Ireland.-The Fieeman's Jour. nal, a Catholic paper. states that in -Ireland there are three millions and a half of people who can neither read nor write. The piopula tion of Ireland is something more than eight -millions. Harvard College.-The Hon. John Picker ing, L. L. D., of Boston. has succeeded Mr. Harvard as President of Harvard College. Friction J.atches.-Editois of newspapers often urge upon their renders caution in the stowage of friction matches. It is befleted that many of the fires which are said to be cansed by incendiaries, or to result from unknown causes, are occasioned fr'in jilaciigtbiies dangerous articles where they are jostled hy rats, or where something' falls upon he boxes whieh contain then. Tola.%s RITcHIE, Esq.-We noticed some time since, the retirement of Mr. Thmnas Ritchie from the editorship of the Richmond Enquirer. lie is now at the head of the Vaslr ington Globe, which will hereafter be c,.Iled the Washington Union. This paper doubt less will be the princip'al organ of the Admin istration. The opinion of so distinguished a politician and writer as Mr. Ritehie, on the subject of a Revenue Tarify.is of considerale importance. Before he abandoned the Ricli mond Enquiter, he was appointed Chairman of the Democratic Central Committee of Vir ginia, and wrote the Address of the said Coin mittee, to the People, prepar-itory to the.Spring elections.. We quote the concluding part of the address. We have finished the examination of the course of the Whig party. All the facts are now befoire the people. It is for them to decide upon the conduct of their public functiona'ries. Itmportant issues are still before th,- country. I'Te victory of I844 bas not destroyed the Whig patrty. It must ho followed up and sustained, be. fore it effects arry-lung w hich Whig energy may tnot destroy. The annexatiorr of Texas is not yet completed. The~ Taritf is not yet reduced to a revenue standard ; dd the next Virginia Leuish.ntre may de fat the t wo leadling measures of~ then De mocratic party, by3 placing~ thme United States Senate io the-hanmds of ottr av ries. We have the people mthdi m if misrepresentaltion cati lhe avoided,all will he well, and the fruitsq of the late arduous contest will be realized to the nation. The cmotest was decided in favor of the Demiocra~tie pri: ciphes. Tih-- voice of the people, mn elevatintg Mir. Pltk to the Chief~ Magistracy of the Unoited.

Wea have received the joint resolutioti for the atnnexation of TVex as. as the fruit of that vie~ory ; and the Tarif remain~s as the all-.absorbing ques tion now to be decided. Trhat question having been cotmpromised, and the coin promise having beetr violated, must cumn tinue to agitate the co'untrv until one of the great parties shall be utterly vanqluish ed. One "-Treaty of Peace" having beetn destroyed, without scruples or hesitation, we can see no guarantee that aoy other will he observed longer than policy might require. Firmly resolad, therefore. to make hostility to protection a test of po liical faith, the Dernocratic Presidetnt, ssained lby a majoty ntot only on the flor of Congress, hut throughout the coun try, for arnple redress of our long sus tained grievances. The people of the agricultural and ex porting States have suffered suflicie-utly long under a system, which forces them to bear an nnttc share of the burthens of Government, whilst they see their sister States enriched, because the Government is burthensotne. That duties on importa tions operate as a tax on consutption, was never, to our knowledge, dented, un til a necessity existed to uake a line of policy palatable to our people, which had been forced upon them against their earn est remonstrances. That being conceded, it follows, as a,tnecessary- consequence, that the labor invested in any unprotected employment must pay whatever duties way be levied, and collected on the arti cles which it consumes, whilst the doimes tic producer of those articles noi only 'avoids the payment of the impost, but is enabled by those duties, to sell a portion of his products at higher rates than if no revenue was needed by the Government. The exigencies of the nation are thus made a source -"f profit to the manufacturer; for protection-not only shilts the burthen of Government from his shoulders, but makes his trade more profitable than it would be, it there was no'burthen to be sustained by the people. This we hold to be so un'ust and.oppressive-so contrary to the le iti mate functions of a good government that nothing but an express recognition in the fundamental law could give such power to Congress. Ttfs recogmition can not be found in the Constitutio.. We admit the power "to lay and col lect taxes, duties, imports and excises, to pay the debts and provide for the corn: mon defence and general welfare of toe 'United States;" but den. it for any other purpose whatever. To provide a fund to be thus expended being the only obiject recognized by the Constitution, or consis tent with justice, we hold it to be evident that a tarifishould not be levied for any but revenue purposes which should be made to apply tn levying every item of duty. Although revenue and protection are inci dental to each other, within certain lim its, yet they are hostile in their natures. Revenue depends upon the amount of in poriations which comes into the country while protection can only be uflorded by ex.cluding'a part or the whole product of foreign industry. If a desire to diseriti nate, with a desigo ti'afford protection. be allowed to fix and determine any item of duty, it gives, to that extent, a protective character to any scale of duties which con tains such a discrimination. If the de gree of the protection thus affurded should not amount to prohibition, the merefact. that revenue is incidentally produced. does not prevent its being a fraud on the onustitution, as well as an aet- of oppres sIontrhe'people. A principle is thereby smuggled into the Government, and allow. ed to control the course of legislation, though hostile in its nature to the power from which it is applied, and destructive in its operation, to the pretext by which it is admitied. Should-this point be yielded the whole question is surrendered. Under the power to discriminate for purposes of protection,. the revenue may be destroyed by prohibitory duties. Anti tithe interests of the country require that .the power should be exercised in one instance, and to a certain degree, we can see no reason that it should not be exercised in every in stance, audio any degree, whier would not force the government to resort to di rect taxation, as the only means of de fraying its expenses. - Experience proves, that low duties, by increasing importations, affect the greatest amount of revenue, and, although pro tection to most articles of domestic tanu facture be the necessary and unavoidable incident to any system of duties, yet we deny that this consequence is one of the Constitutional purposes for t he accomplish. mcni of which a Tarifishoule be framed. 1i therefore tbecomecs the duty* f Congress to fifil the ex pectatin of the peop:c, by eniacting a revenue bill, and, in framriing the torif oh idutie's, to mnake its purpose nutcjtiv)call by aidopting the limit oef the Comtpromtise as lie miaximtum duty. Th'le Demoicratic party having beeni onace be trayed shouldt no-t consent to further con cessioni or longer delay, but task all its en ergics to carry out the deectrine of rree trade, sentcti-oned as it is by justice, atid de iuttdedi by thec peoplle in the election of out Ceiif Magistrato. The Coinvention which made hiim the candidlate of the party in the late conte-st, by the same authority pronounued for the party againast a pro iectiv~e sysiem. Havitng recently poincted th~e tition to his past history to tmake clear his pre-sent positioni and en-able us to forsee his future course, we feel nissure-d that the President wil obtain to the end that zealonis supp~ort w~e have heretofore given hiimMby sustainitig those views which madce hitm the candidate of his par:y. and the Chief Magistrate eof the Untion. With this vital questiotn before tihe coon 1ry-with the Jeoint keselution for the an nexationt of Tex as, niot finally det,-rminied -we call upotn our fiiends every where to exert themselves in favor of the Demiocrat ic principles-pinciples which have beetn sanectionted not only by the State, lbut hy the Union. Every- whore to the Nort-h, we see the ,Whig and Ahnhttion parties contending that ii is lawful and dlesirable yet to defeat the antiexetion of Texas to the U. S.-and this unheard of doctrine is sanctioned by many members of the WVhig party of the South. Under these circum staces, wve earnedly recommitend to our friends throughout the cotnutry,. to dis eharge their whole dutj' to themselvesand to their cause. The next Congress of the Uniited States may be fraughit with the most miotmentuus conisequenaces. The next Legisla ture orfVirgintia is very imtport ant.

Th fint is preceded by a preamble decl that, whereas, the United States hae olued to annex. the territory of 'Texs and, whereas, such a mode of appro ting foreign territory to which othel- ions lay claiqi, is a monstrous in. nova pon the p.ace of the world and the igumy of other powers; and where this act had long been in prepar ion, en while the United States were profes peace and friendship for Mexido, and ' e- the latter reuspected and ob serve ty}pulously the terms of existiu P trroiG whedlas, the said annexation is a violation of eiry conservative principle of society, an asault upon the.rights of Mexico, an insulito her dignity as a sovereign nation, s and setiaces her independence and politi cal sistence. therefore, the Congress of the ilexican Republic solemnly declare, that he law of the United Staies for tire annetation of Texas to the American Uniue, in no respect impairs the rights whtil \lexico possess and will maintain to thuaepartment; Furuermore, that the United States having disregarded the principles upon whichire based treaties of amity, coin merceond navigation, and mord especially of huwdary.

' knother Earthquake.-Our readers doubtless remember the details we pub-: lished a few days since of a frightful de structive earthlquake which was experi enced at Mexico on the 7th inst. We have now to adld a repetition of this awful dlisaster in the Catpi'ol on the 10th inst. Our exaiinatin of the papere has failed to enable us to discover many details of the amount of ruin and desolation ocea sioned . by this convulsion, -but f ram tie fact tbat the journals unite in describing its eff-ects as terrific, we presume the de-. struction nmust have been great. The Diairio of the 1] th. states that the earth. quake occnrred aboui 10 o'clock. A.

This system would soon wake our waste places and old desolated and depopulated homesteads resound with the merry whistle of the ploughman, and plenty would crown his labors. Most of our planters are ignorant of the first principles of agricultural econ om', and know nothing at all of 'the fornation and perfect use of the best manures.; a subject which has been thoi oughly investigated both- in Europe and the sterile regions of the North. Ib some. places we have seen where industry has. first eradicated stones where in the first cultivation of the soil the plough could not enter, and that same industry with untiring zeal has waxed on, until those sterile beds. of New .Eirgland granite have become. rich in agricultural products--so rich as to. repay the cultivator for all the labor he. ever has bestowed them-and now allords: a handsome remuneration as a reward for his enterprise and perseverance. When, such difficulties can be surmou.nted and: crowned w ih remnuerating--which by' thre bye, is the most flattering success to . the agriculturist, why cannot our agricul turists, at one glance perceive that.t render ani acre of hatnd washed ir' lies amd ditches rich and pro:,ncive by manurmig, is .an ehsier ta'at than to. pre pare for cultivation Sr. acre of heavily timbered wood land, '-.hich will after three or four years cuhtv ation requires the same aids to keep up its productiveness which the improved. s'uil requires to make its cul-. t avatton . ,oatable.

The " Veracruzano" of the 14th inst., states that private letters furuish a gloomy picture of the desolation that has fallen upon Mexico. The "Hes peria' of'the 12th, states that the earth quake of the 10th completed the destruc tion of the -cupola of Santa Teresa; and increased the damage done to the church es of Santa Domingo and San Francisco. But for. the shortness of its duration, the entire city'would have been laid in ruins. Mexico' did not sufter alone. The shoae was felt in a number of towns and villages within a radius of several hundrej'ies. At Puebla the earthquake.was experien ced on the 7th, about 4 o'clock, P. M., but its effects were comparatively- slight. Several churchos were injured, and many private edifices were greatly damaged though none were absolutely destroyed. At Acuartillo and Toluca the eflects of the shock:;were more considerable. At Gaudalajara, Morelia and Vera Cruz. the earthquake was experienced both on the 7th and .10th, but on neither occasion was the injury very serious.
