The following letter from the Courier 5: En-
quirer, was addressed to Messrs. Albro, Hoyt &
Co. extensive carpet dealers in New York, and
maiifacturers of oil floor cloth, who have contri-
ved to get the exact dimensions of the Asliland
' Hall, and. fitted it with a beautiful cloth.
A AAirLA*i\‘ii, 10th Sept., 18-I-6
G'emrfem.en, :——I received your favor of
the 3d ult. several weeks ago, and within
ii few days past, safely received the piece
of Floor Oil Cloth, l.0‘.\\’l'll'Ch'it refers, which
you have kindly presented me to cover the
floor of my ball. It came in perfect order
having been put up with remarkable care.
It now occupiesthe place for which it was
‘designed, and is greatly admired for the
solidity of the fabric, and the taste and
beauty of‘the brilliant colors which adorn
it. It would successfully compare with any
piece-of floor oil cloth, manufactured in
foreign countries or at home, that I have
ever seen. I beg your acceptance of my
cordial thanks and grateful acknowledge-
ments for it.
You have done me the favor to present
me this valuable article, as you are pleas-
ed to state, for my “many mid great public
services,” and as a token for your grati
t‘l1'(le‘f(~)1? my “powerful "advocacy of the
interests of the American industry'”
I am happy, gentlemen, thusto have se-
cured your approbation. In looking back
from my retirement, upon my ‘public _ca-
1'-eer,. tl're-re is no part of my public exertion
WI)-lzG'll I contemplate with more satisfac-
tion than the support which throughout
the whole ofit, I constantly, zealously and
faithfully, gave to the industry of my own
country. Its prosperity or adversity has
been as infallibly marked, by the adequacy
or inadequacy of protection, as the ther-
mometer indicatesheat or cold. I believe
the system of protection, notwithstanding
the opposition which it has often encoun-
tiered, has pusliel the nation forward half
a century in advance of in here it would
have been, if the doctrine of free trade
had always prevailed in our public coun-
cils. VVhether it will be pushed back again
in the same way or any other extent, by
the Tariff recently est-ablislied, which has
sought to subvert the previous system,
' and to embody those doctrines, remains to
be seen. I confess that I seriously appre-
hend great injury to the general business
ofthe» country and ultimately to the Rev-
enue of the Government. If there shall
-not be a large addition to the amount of
our foreign importations, the Treasury
must experience a large deficit. If there
should‘ be an addition sufficient to compen-
sate the reduction ofduties, the increase
must be paid. for by an equivalent increase
in the value of our exports, or the balence
must be adjusted in specie. Iliave not
the remotest expectationtliat we shall be
able to effect payment, by additional ex-
portation of the products of the country.
\Ve, in the VVest, do not believe that the
relaxation in. the British system of restric-
tion-, is going to create -any considerable
demand for the surplus of our agricultural
produce. VVe shall, I fear, be constrained
to resort to the other alternative, in the
event of an excess of importations, and
pay for them in the precious metals. I
need not dwell on the commercial disor-
der, theembarrassment in eveiy depart-
ment of business, and the wide spread ruin
which would be occasioned by a constant
exportation of specie in large amoiints.-—
We have had experience enough of these
fatal consequences, whenever Protection
of our own industry has been inadequate.
In all these views I may be entirely
mistaken. It may turn out that our im-
portations will continue to flourish and
increase; that the country will continue
to prosper; and that the revenue of the
government will be ample. Anxious for
the welfare and prosperity of the nation,
whatever councils or systems of policy
may prevail, I shall be most happy to find
these results realized, and that I have er-
roneously entertained the opinions to
which I have so long sincerely adhered.
In every contingency, gentlemen, I pray
your acceptance of my best wishes for
the success of your beautiful manufacture
and for your health, happiness and prospe-
rity. I am, with great respect,
Your friend and ob’t serv't,
Messrs. Albro, Iloyt &. Co. [-1. CLAY.

TARIFF .,AND DIRECT TAXATION.
We noticeiindications‘ in certain quar-
ters of an effort to make an issue in the
Loco-Foco party in favor of absolute Free
Trade and Direct Taxatian and in opposi-
tion to all Tariffs whether for Revenue or
Protection. Sir’ Robert VValker, .it is
thought has no objection to being made a
Free Trade candidate for the Presidency
in’ oppositiin to Silas VVright, or Wl109Vel‘
else may be put forward as the Reprcseiv
tative of the Van Buren swindle of a larifl
for Revenue and “J'm:2'¢/enlal Protection-”
ufhe Progressive Democrat,’ just started
in this City, is on the Free Trade tack,
and we shall not despair of seeing the lines
drawn between the advocates ofGenuine
Free Trade and the Friends of the Protec-
tive policy. A clean Issue on this point
is all we ask. ,
According to a repert in the Herald,
Secretary VValker lately presented to the
"Democratic Association’ of VVasliiiigtoii
a Tariffproject with a flyleaf attached,
which, ifadopted, would have been tama-
mouiit to a recommendation of undiluted
Free Trade and Direct Taxation for rais-
ing the twenty six millions required for
the annual support of the Government in
addition to-untold extra millions for war
expenses, &c. The proposition was voted
down almost by acclamation; those only
voting for it who in consideration oftheir
services during the late c.anvass have been
elevated to offices in the several depart-
ments. Resolutions were then proposed
approving of the Administrations, and
these too were rejected; one of the offi-
cers stating that the object ofmaiutaining
the Organization of the Association was,
not to uphold the existing Administration
but to secure something more reliable and
substantial. Officers were then elected
for the Association to the number ofsome
twelve or fourteen subordinates, and of all
the number not an office holder was lion-
ored with an appointment Blair and
Rives, formerly publisher ofthe Globe, are
attached to this association, the latter
being a principal executive officer.——'['r-i-

Inlcresiing from C'ulz'forn'a.—Tlie Com‘

mal possession of California. It affords
the most particular account yet published
of this conquest.
On the 6th of July all was bustle in the
cabin of the Savannah; some four or five
men were busily employed in writing let-
ters, proclamations, &c. preparatory to
taking possession of California. It was
long after the witcliing hour of midnight
erelwas enabled to catch a short rindl
troubled repose, as all was to be prepared
by six o’clock the following morning,
which came as bright and beautiful as a
July day of our own favored island. At
6 A. M. Capt. Mervine came on board to
receive orders, and at '7 he left with a
summons to the military commandant of.
Monterey to surrender the place forthwith
to the arms of the United States, and also
a similar summons to the military Govern-
or for the surrender of all California.

upsetting ofa boat employed near Cedar
Island, when crossing the channel to Point
Frederick. The sea was rather heavy,
and about mid-cliannel a wave struck the
boat, and threw in a large quantity of wa-
ter, alarming several of the men, who, en-
tirely forgetting themselves, suddenly rose
up, and the boat immediately upset. A
terrible scene ensued. Some of the men
were able to swim, and endeavored to save
themselves, but were grappled by others,
andthus sunk beneath the waves. Six
men only out of the number succeeded in
clinging to the boat iinil assistance arrived.
Most of the men were married, and, as
the awful news spread through the town,
the screams and sliricks of the women as
they rushed, many of them with children
in their arms, through the streets to the
water’s side, were terrible to heal‘. On
one family the dreadful blow has fallen
with peculiar severity, five of them lmvgm,
perished——the father, the husband, twf,
brothers, and a brother~in-law, were laid
down dead before the agonized wife and
.sister. They were recent emigrants, only
six weeks in the country. The poor wo-
man went into fli.S,,i1'fl(.l is since dead.-
Altogcther there are fourteen women
made widows, and seven children left or-

The Nnuvooitvs built breasiworks for their
