SLAUGHTER OF THE sHEEP.

All that we have predicted will be accom- plished and speedily unless efficient measures are adopted to prevent the destruction of our wOOllen manufactures-and yet some ,cise po- liticlans are willing to protect the grOactk Of 'OOot by annihilating the sndrket for t which we take to be a poiicy as,protol,adas that Of shs eaaiR tH sRat is hs sAi %is nis h his wine & he soon made the wOndeFltil discovery that he had c0ged himself! f!--snd that, by thus pro- tecting his wine, he should be starved; he then withdrew the nails with much more anx- siety than he had driven them into the door posts But we have not room for further re- mark.
 The following is an extract from private letter Of a gentleman of the west---a vrnera- ble and most worthy man, whose word will pass for more than he is worth''--a very :. man of Ross" of the neighbOurhoOd where he resides.
 "There is much excitement on the subject of the tariff.

 The prospect IS gloomy one; even if { favorable law gets through, the manufactur CTS will have to wade through most discoura glng dlfhculties-Our enemies are encouraged they are pressing into the market an i'm mense quantity of fgooasss From the dissio sures made by the testimony, they mus discover the state of depression into whicl our manufactures are sunk by immense los ses.
