THE UNITED STATES TARIFF.

Hir,—ln the message of the Atilnican President a
strong ems is made out for the continuance of the present
r productive of an ample revenue. It is not, how-
ever, to be assumed that an effort considerably to increase
the bemire duties will be unsuccessful. Be it remembered
that the Is from a raiiring president, and that his
suecierer hes baea &seed by the party which u strongly
opposed to free trade. I have a letter before me from a
eeriness in New York who is decidedly in favour of free
' imports, or only of suet duties as shall ho revenue produ-
cing, aad he tells me that the election of Gin. Taylor
hr guile_ elated the protectionists, who are in the
fell belief that the duties on the importation of
manufactured goods will be largely increased. When re-
cently in the States I everywhere heard complabib that at
the present rate of duties no profit could be derived from the
manufacture of any dmaiption d oaten goods, except these
in which labour forms the smallest component part. Of
thirty of the most prominent manufacturing companies of
New England, there are only eleven, the shares in which
were a premium. The 1,000 dulls shares in the &lig-
bury company were recently quoted at 1,250; and the Cer-
ritos& company at 1.2041; but in a number of other com-
panies the 1,000 dollar sham were quoted at 800, 750, and
800, while the 120 dollar shares of one company were quoted
an low ai 200. The manufacturing interest is concentrated
and active; the agricultural interest is scattered and supine.
There is not much energetic action to be expected from the
southern sides, till lately so determinedly opposed to high
import duties; while their " peculiar domestic institution,"
eavery, was believed to he unassailable, they were dere-
tainest flee-treders, but they now greatly fear the efforts of
the norhern abolitionists, and they are anxious to avoid any
further quarrel with the New Englander. They are ready
to say, ' Let us alone and we will let you alone. Say
nothing inert slavery, and we will say nothing against
your manulaaturing
The great state of New Y rk, which gave a dearest
and free-trade vote at the election in 1844, has given a whig
and wreaths vote in 1848. Pennsylvania is rapidly availing
WW of its abwidenee of iron end oaal, and is making •
greet outcry for additinael errs .ties against Beglish com-
petition in every ankle of boo manufacture; and Pitts-
burg sod Cincinnati are kerning in the same cry. In theft
imnortant districts there is the disposition to cany en the
. Mg-rolling " process—" Help us to roll our log, and we
will help you to roll yours. Let us have additional duties

Bet the western steam—will they permit themselves to be
taxed for the benefit of the iron-master and the cotton
mentifeeterses ? I fear they will. They are more anyone
to rival the mariabecarere of the eastern states than to have
chap goods fros England. Tilers is a soel-field ea the
corm due of the Ohio, extending 700 miles in Leath, with
an average breadth of 100 miles ; and with the coal there is
iron. There is another field, extending over one half of
Indiana ..ed one half of Illinois equal to the whole an
ices of England and Wales in the centre of
there is soother coal field squid to one half of die surface
measurement of the state. With the great materials for
umlaute:tune in abundance, the demand is for
irae.u/seures. People say, we have wheat, end trr
mend
pork ; we have iron and coal ; let us have manufactures that
we may have boom markets fee our produce."
All this seems very foolish to us who know • little more
.bout the priaciphis of free trade ; but La ear calculations
.and speculations, as to what other men's or other nations'
nurse of action may b., we must no more leave out of sight
'heir tally than .heat wisdom. My own belief is, from etre
oloservation, that the folly of the United States will predomi
cat,', and that they will act be convinced of their error until
tt.,y have tried a patially prohibitive tariff and feted that it
wi..l nut primes t revenue. In their dislike of direct taxa-
, ion they wilt then again resort to moderate import duties,
Should • prohibitory tariff be enacted, we shah have •
bowl here tor retalistory duties on the import of American
produce. But I cannot suppose that, because they are foolish
enough to pay Cony per sent, more for their iron aid sottoa
manufactures than they can have them at from us, we shall
be tiolish enough to tax ourselves to the same amount on
every barrel of 8 ter we buy from them, and on every bale
ei oaten we ime,rt. If they be foolish enough to bay in
the dearest market, let us b• wise szoirli te buy in the
diespeit.—A TICITNI.J.II4 Manchester, Dec. 23.
