first great step is now taken this party has for the
first time got the majority in Congress and the iirat
act of its triumph is marked for lis decislycness
against the enterprise and industry Of our citizens.
The election of il jackson Speaker has been follow
ed by the appointment OF a jackson committee on
manufactures opposed TO the Iarlii, or IN other
words opposed to the vital interests OF the country
Whether the party will be so perfectly united as TO
he strong enough to PROSTATE the present tariff sys-

may bid farewell 10 all our greatness, and prepare
to bow with what grace we can, to Southern mono

From the present tariff the farmer. the mechanic

at no distant day supply market for the farmer, far
pref rable to all the foreign markets that the world
can afford. Take off the tariff and nearly this whole
system falls TO the ground at once Our stores are
at present filled with goods, purchased at protected

Thus will be seen that if the ani-tarilf, the
jackson party succeed, the farmer, the miller, the
abInet-maker, the halter, the sadder, the shoe ma

lmost every professional man, will have the price
