JOURNAL.
SATURDAY, MARCH al, 1870.

The signs of the times plainly indicate that
the nation is again to be convulsed by the agi-
Triton of the Tariff question. The period is
at hand, when by the terms of the compro-
mise act, it will be open to legislation, and he
is blind to passing events, who does not see
that the manufacturers of the north, will ask
from congress at the end OF that period, pro-
lection for the products of their industry. by
the taxation oliorcign imports. In a recent
speech of Mr.. Webster, in reply to Mr.. CAL
houn. on the assumption OF state debts, he
took occasion III responding to some of the
views of the Carolinian, OF protection and
protective duties, to describe most glowingly
the advantages which had flowed 10 the whole
country from the protective system, and re-
GREETED that Mr.. C's. views on that subject
had undergone no change. In addition to
this, We observe several leading papers Of the
east, and north. have taken up the subject,
and are pressing upon the country, the lnpor-
lance of sustaining our domestic manufac-
lures. 1t is too soon TO a system
ATTIC organization on this subject, but at the
proper time, congress will be crowded with
petitions and memorials. for imposing duties
on foreign importations, for the avowed Pur-
pose of fostering home manufactures. With
in the next Presidential term, W. may expect
TO see the whole Tariff disinterred. and the
south and west taxed again, to sustain and
support the manufactures of the north ana
east, and congress legiIating for the benefit
OF the few, to the injury of the many.

BLooDHouNDs.-Much has been already
said, and much more will be said, about the
employment of bloodhounds in the Florida
war. 1t has been charged that this ne'oiy m
pcntel soliiery, were introduced by authority
and consent of the general goTernment.-
This has been publicly contradicted by Mr..
Buchanan. in his place in the senate-anl the
truth seems to be that, these animals are alto
gether under the direction and control of the
territorial government of Florida.
When ~stripped.of all the exagge:ation and
poetry, which nave been thrown around this
matter, there seems 10 b, nothing SO very re-
puls!vc, or terrific in the employment OF these
animals. Theyl are not what their name
would import, literally hannibal bloodhounds;
but are used for the purpose of trailing and
not eating the poor Indians. The trail il fol-
lowed by the regular soldiery. until the saSa,
ges, are overtaken; and then comes the
"tug Of war;" Experience has demon trated
that the Saminoles are not to be subiucd by
ordinary means, lnl tia; this is the only hope
OF f~erreting out and exte~rninlting this unior-
tunate race ofmen. The history OF the coun-
try, from It's first settlement, proves conc.u-
sively that the Anglo Saxon, and the indian
race canno. exist together. Wherever there
has been an attempt TO incorporate the one
with the other, the effort has signal'y fliled,
and only strengthened the conviction OF the
inability OF their partaking of the virtues OF
the white man by civilization. Wherev": Il
lingering remnant Of the race remains, Their
condition is debascd and corrupted, with all
the vices ofthe white man, and without any Of
his virtues. And. what has been the history
of the Florida war! Four or five yea-s have
been spent in the attempt to subdue the In
dians-a vast amount of treasure and of blood
has been expended, and yet we are as far
from reducing them to subsection, as we
were when we first commenced. Formed
as their name imports, of the fragments OF
other tribes, they pay no respect TO treaties
and no act of one set of chiefs is considered
binding on the rest. Defence!ess women
and children have been butchered by the
score; and massacre after massacre, has
been committed, after the fairest promises Of
peace and security. The peculiar character
of the country, the total lack of honesty,
which they have exhibited, have rendered
the arm Of the general government power
less and Intellectual in the determination o.
the Seminoles and we do not wonder thai
the good people Of Florida, are disposed to
rid themselves Of this pest, even at the haz
ard of ioosing some little Of their character
for civilization and humanity.
