in this country with considerable interest ::
THE AMERICAN TARIFF.
The citizens of the United States resem
BILE all either men in having an eye to their
real supposed interests, and those who IN
terfere with such Interests. In return for
our imroliiic aud ubiquitous Corn bill, they
| have therefore passed the Tariff bill, which
aims formidable blow at the prosperity
oi the mercantile and manufacturing inter
est6 pfths country. Que of our cOntem
poraties observes that tins new aud alarm
ing measure does not reflect MUCH credit
upon the wisdom of the Americans and
we are of the same opinion, although tJerc
|
of the United States think otherwise for
America is the only country on earth
where the interests and wishes of the gov
ernment and thf people AT large are I" one,
and indi>lsihle." The people, for II IS they
who have wiled the tariff, may have taken
wrong view Of their own interests but
| they viii not long persist IN error and
! should the measure be found not to answer
! their expectations, the nation which sane
toned it can and will, in an instant, annullt
and return 10 sounder views of policy. In
! other countries, aud we are sorry to say IN
OFF own, laws are sometimes enacted IN
opposition to the interests and lucnations
Of the great mass of the NATION they arc
! imposed without necessity, and persisted
in after the ali'ged necessity which consti
tuted the prctcxt for their original enact
ment has eaniessedly ceased Witness
those most arbitrary acts which were pas
srd 10 stine the petitions of the Relormers !;
one of which acts empowers the govern
mcnt ia Danish for life British subjects,
who shall write any thing tending to bring
into contempt THAI Parliament, whose cor
ruptioa, has been declared by its own
members to be as notorious as the sun at
noon day.
Such IA measure as our corn bill could
never have been passed in any country
where the government and people 1T large
were completely Identified in feeling and
interest and the disposition lately e,inced
by some few members of the present al
mulstration, especially Of Mr.. Huskissen,
encourages the hope that the corn laws
will at no distant period, be resclnded, nor
permitted longer to remain monument
of national folly, at a time when such alb
| surdIty must be rendered more conspicuous
| by the contrast II presents 10 the improved
policy of late pursued by the administration
with respect to many great national ques
tons.
A writer in the Morning Chronicle calls
upon the people al large To petition for the
repeal Of the corn bin, and if his statement
be not very much exaggerated indeed, there
never was any measure that called So i'm
prriously for the reprobatlDn Of the CON.
munity. The corn bil, says this writer,
- is a barefacrd r"hhery of the people OF
twenty or twenty-five millions year, on
which not more than a fifth part enters the
pockets Of the landholdcls the remaiador
icing pure destruction of property.h
We have said that the new Tariff bill
must have been in accordance with the
wish Of a ma olily of the citizens Of the u.
States, but il does not appear TO have been
carried by that kind of majority winch be-
speaka any very decided national prepon
derancr in its favor. The votes in the Sc
nate, relative 10 certain notifications, were
very close, and, in one instance, there be.
ing an equal division, the point was decided
by the vote Of the Vice President. The
Representatives, in variety oi Cases, have
been about as nearly balanced one impor-
tnnt question having aIsp been decided by
the casting of the vote Of The Speaker.
Under these circumstances, an expert
ment, fro u which We have much tn appre
hrnd may be but of short duration and
