THE TARIFF.

We published, some few months since, the Tariff Bill,as it came from the hands ofhe Committee which drafted it. The bill received some triHing amend ments in the House, and s, further amendments in the Senate But as it stands it appears to find many enemies in the country, and that too among the real friends of the American System Why it is thus, we know not. From the "Comparative View of the Tariff Laws," given below, and for which we are in- debted to the N. Y. Journal of Commerce, we should suppose that the duties on wool and woollens are such to afford real protection to the wool grower and manufacturer; not perhaps however to as great extent the interests of those concerned in the business at present demands And to the addition
 al duty distilled spirits and moiasses, really nothing objectionable in that We wish the duty on fhe former had been double to what it now IS, and that the latter will be as equal an indirect tax as could be possibly levied The complaint that it will fall heavily on the poor is favore Lobby, alwaysre- sorted to when attempts made to render a meas are unpopular. But even the poor, for whom certain politicians occasionally have very strong regard, expect pay something annually for the support of government, and if they in their families 25 gallons ofmolasses each in year, the indirect tax which they will pay in consequence ofthis Tari will be dollar and twenty-five cents! Upon average but few poor families in New England, or rich ones either, annually consume more than halfthat amount
 and this be saved by using gallon of spir- its Iess in that dme This additional duty was very popular with the Southern enemies ofthe Bill Their members chuckIed at the idea that the Yankees were bit this time; and that they would not be able here
 after to "sOp their bread but upon one side" But how fond sOever the Yankees may be of Tapping
 nOlasses," they do not lOve consume more of the black sweet than their southern brethren, and they
 certainly better able to pay ori it. Very ma1y of

THE LEGISLATUI.r..

The District Bill has passed the Senate by unan- imous vote It must next go to the people, where we beliey. it will be entirely safe-Mr Huntingtons Bill
 relative to " Fraudulent Conveyances," has passed the lower house almost unanimously There was some little sparring the last week relative to the ap- pointment of Sheriff for Hartford County, and a Judge for Woodbury Probate District. The conten- ton did not partake of the character of old political disputes, although one or two members. who were iederalists until that party was broken down, were weak headed enough to introduce old names into the debate. Surely these men must suppose the people have very treacherOus memories, or they would say less about our federal enemies" Many Ofthe mem- bers declared that their vote against Mir.

 Upon the inner form of one of the Providence pa- pers, dated May 2l, we counted 3aOIery advertise mcnts, issued from Is different lottery offices. Surely the descendants of Roger Williams drive legalizcd @amhng a; great rate. Either the people Of that place get mnst tremendously shaved by the business, the vendors do not pay their hoard bills and rent. In some places the business of selling tickets IS be- coming rather sta!e purchasers heinz mostly of the poorer classes, cannot he depended upon to take of tickets fast they are issued, d,-heir daily earnings will not cover the expense,-and those who know Ie worth of money very wisely conclude that ''a bird
 in the hand is worth two in the hush"
 The Tariff Bill is said to have been signed by the President on the Doth inst.
 The ladies in Boston have collected 3472 dollars for the Greeks. or this sum, 10lS dollars have been
 invested in clothes, and the residue Is to eappropria ted to the purchase of provisions. About half million gallons of molasses are import cd yearly into Rhode Island.

It is indeed very questionable wheth- CT American industry and ingenuity can immediately supply all the articles which additional duties levied, ,-some of which are very high.-n sufficient quantities and of good qualities, to save the peo pie from pretty heavy tax for the benefit of the A. merican System. But must remember that here- tofore the many millions which annually go into the treasury, except what derived from the sale oflands, come really from the people, as though tax had been laid directly upon them and it will do no more or less under the new law. Those who consume the greatest amount of the above mentioned artices will
 
 dependent live of foreign productions, the less we shall pay in the form of indirect tax for manufac turing or mechanical monopoies spring up among us to extort greater price for their productions than they are really worth. The equal distribution of wealth, and the individual enterprise of the people, which will create competition, will effectualy secure us from this.
 Considering the bill as it now stands we think it entirely ungenerous to praise blame the members of either house of Congress, for their individual vote, whether for or against the bill. majority of the members however whose names stand in the affrma-
 tive, the fast friends of the Administration, and eryfnany of the same class of politicians recorded their vote in the negative. Two members of the Connecticut delegation voted against the bill and by some people, rather disposed to find fault all occa- sions the rest of them blamed for doing like wise. We believe it rather difficult matter for the members to tell how they ought upon the question, and they generally governed themselves upon principles of policy. The Bill is however full as good as could be expected under existing circum- stances, and eventually the people will be satisfied with it.

 Every body has heard it said that distilled spirits operate the constitution as slow poison, and that the mere man takes of it. the he will pu, an end to his mortal cares and anxeries. A rather siu- gular trial has lately been had in England relative to poisoned liquors. A licensed retailer was brought to trial for selling spirits, knowing i: to be poson. The accusation rested upon the testimony nf physician, who stated that he attended the deceased drunkard during his last illness. and that his case exhibited mtted on the defence; but it cone"ded that the spirit sold was not more poisonous than that which is sold by other retai!ers,-hat all distilled liquors are poisonous. witness was introduced who stated that he had been planter at Jamaica,-that rum is disti- led in copper, ron would turn the liquor black in its appearance )-that the fermented liquor from which 1t is made the of acd-that its effect u turning the copper to gangrene and thus eating up great that the stills must often be renewed and that this deadly poison necessarily combines with the liquor Verdict, not guilty It thus appears that drinkers do really and Literally swallow poison, in ex. act proportion to the amount of spirits they drink
 But it does good to tell them of it;hey love rum and drink it they wi come what may. Ask them however to take little arsonic,-more speedy, but not more certain in its deadly effects,-and they eau turn from it with as much ease any other person. They can turn from rum, but they will not and the consequence sa continual increase of drunkard graves.
