LITIGATION.
CoNGRrss. The following pleasant sketch i:
from the West Chester, (Pa.) Village Record
This is the first Congress for many years
when the public looked TO the meeting with
fears that they would do positive mischief
much positive good in the temper Of parties
and the present posture of affairs, cannot
DC expected. The negative good-the pre-
venton ofevl. is the most that can he hop
ell for. Judge Peck's Impeachment will go
on, and Mr. Buchanan, as Chairman of the
! Judiciary Committee, will distinguish him
self; for he has ability TO do So but he will
have TO arouse his utmost energies: for
Sforrs the New York giant, will, like MIN.
be making mis- last effort in Congress, under
present arrangements and the able Judge
return, will rome odt in power if the matter
/ prove Of much Importance.
Then the Tariff will he attacked in de-
tail. To detach Louisiana from the Ameri-
can System party, the protecting duty will
be repealed, If the anti-tarfparty can get
enough dough faces to join them.
! 1t is II very nice question. At first blush,
every onp, here. in Pennsylvania. at least
wonl'l say-"To he sure, take off the duty
on sugar. Reduce it from three cents to
one cent. 1t is a necessary of life, and in
/ dlspPnsabie to the comfort 0fthe poor. WHY
sbonld we pay three cents pound, or two
cents ponnd, on all we use, to fatten the
overfed rich planter of Louisiana ?''
In reply, we ask one question: Did you
ever get snrar chenp and so good in
your life ? Very true but how comes it !?
Because the duty. by protecting in its in
fancy, the Louisiana planter. has encourag-
ed him to introduce the cultivation of sugar
there-investing heavy capital in the bust
ness. II has greatly EXTENDED, and is still
extending. The quantity raised in the U.
States. coming in competition with the
West India and other. has reduced the price
more than the tax. The poor ale benefited,
not oppressed hy the dmty. In few years,
Louisiana. Georgia, Mississippi, Alabama,
and Florida, will not only he able TO supply
the home market, hut export sugar. Do
mesiic competition will reduce the price to
its minimum. In Il few years we shall get
sugar at cents.
A dead set will he made on Internal I'm
provements: and with the executive power
against it. all the firmness Of the friends of
the system will be requisite to bear mp
and sustain il against the Establishments
and frowns of the high powers that rule
the Influence that office and patronage al
WAYS have. To Pennsylvania, without re-
gard to party division. we look with conf
dence and hope. Judge Hemphill, and his
future fame. are more identified with the
system, than any other public measure. The
eyes of the whole country will he turned on
him.
PUNs. The editor of the United States
Gazette expresses regret at having RULED
one of his New York brethren by a remark
about shirts. A CORES pondent of the Phil
adelphia Chronicle applauds the editor of
the Gazette for having shown no choler on
the occasion, because, he says, when man
gets angry, it is all dickey with him. The
New Yorker says, We are not in the hab-
ii of being rutaed in the manner the editor
Of the U. S. Gazette intimates, and dislike
being Paper choisred, even when we are
puny as our neighbor."
The Philadelphia Chronicle says: ".Slrect
yarn is spun in as large Quantities now as
even. 10y us pretty spinning Jennies as dis
tinguished the Days Of our mothers. and
orr young men reel t,cice as much" And
/ the severely sober editor of the National
/ Gazette condescends to record the follow
ing: Before the late meeting ofthe grand
/ Literary Convention in New York we read,
in New York paper, of convention of
sdUonS-that is, of soaps; and piincely
punster near us, TO whom we showed the
text SAID, "he feared that the meeting would
he SopOrifc" Upon which their neighhor
Of the U. S. Gazette remarks, I" the editor
of the Chronicle may talk as he will hereaf-
ter of the Philadelphia puns being imported ;
he must acknowledge, that each Of the above
is homeS-Pttn.
Pun. Somebody has sent us the follow
ing hrers and lights: When the famous
Mather Bles was told that some "new
lights" had appeared in the religious world,
he replied. Il wish we could heat of some
new huers." -Phiiadeiphia U. s. CGzette.
THE LAST oFTHE PUNs. The following
! clever pun upon puns, we find in the Phila-
dclphia Chronicle. "If we're punish ell
for every pun she'd, should wish to find
puny shed to hide my punish head"
