PROTECTIVE TARIFF.
Mcssrs. EDGToRs:

MiSSFS EDITORS;
There is no question OF internal policy That has
excited more sectional interests and party spirit in this
country than that of the protective tariff.
1t Is probably owing TO the fact that such strong in
terests and prjudces have been excited in its discus
son. that more permanent and judicious basis has
never been found in its adjustment.
we appeal to the practices and precedents of foreign
countries England Particularly furnishing correct
grounds on which to build our system
SO far their circumstances local AMI political are
analogous 10 ours far this practice is correct The
defects OF system defects in principe but
inapplicaiion.
Congress has exclusive power to levy impos,s. and
IN dong so, has had reference to protection and rev.
enue as the primary objects
The latter object has heen accomplished permanence
and increase have characterized the revenues bat ex
perIence has shown how Inadequate have been our
endeavors to the accomplishment OF the former In
stead OF healthy growth, the manufacturing interest
has experienced the extremes of prosperity and adyar
slty IN periods, varying from three 10 six years. ana
this too with the additional stmulous of increased nro
lection from time TO time occasion seemed to reonre
have proved nadeqate for any length Of time and h,
has appeared real prosperity, has proved but an ephe
neral animation destined to yield to the force of other
causes and SINK again to It's former state of depression
hat are these causes? Let conne ourselves to the
consideration OF one, the prominent; viz an IN.
SOUND ana unstable currency. And here few general
observations may not be amiss. In proportion the
nominal capital OF any country transcends the real, in
that proportion Will the value of the products OF that
country DC fictitious and consequently liable TO ueua.

The Milwaukee Courier in commenting
on an article from the Globe, on the Sub
ject Of the admission ofthe Territories into
the Union, has the following with regard
to Wisconsin:
We do not think that The people Of Wis
consin would be willing a, present, to have
this Territory come into the the Union as
n State. Uncle Sam, Notwithstanding he
has been unfortunate in his late selection
ofagents, is a very good friend to the peo-
pie Of the Territory. lie pays all the cx-
penscs Of the Judiciary, and Legislative
Assembly, as we'll as the salaries Of their
Governor, Seer rotary, Marshal, sc. 10
defray the expenses Of those officers by
erect taxation, would Lc Il heavy burthcn
for 900 or 1900 taxable inhabitants
Hence the people would rather remain as
they are. 1t is believed, too, in this Ter
rtory, that some o. the Western Stotes,-
and particularly the State of Michgan,--
were in altogether too much haste in en-
tering the Union. Had Michigan remained
u Territory, she would not now be Iaboring
under debt Of some ten ortwcve millions
Of dollars. and have d host Of public i'm
proycments partly completed, which she
must finish, and double her debt, orabandon
and lose what has been expended. If,
however, the Territories coming into the
Union, would SO augment the democratic
strength in the Senate, as to prevent the
General Government from assuming the
State debts, and would prevent, too, an in
crease Of the tariff, the chartering Of q
national bank, and the monies arising from
the sale of public lands from being squan-
dcred IN buying up the the votes Of the old
states, it might be policy for them to apply
for admission. But we think that could
not be done. If tho grand schemes of
federalism which we have enumerated are
saddled upon the people of the L. State
at all, it will be effected during the extra
session Of Congress, and the Territories
would not in all probability gain admission
in time 10 prevent it.

Value Of Ashes.-P rofessor Jackson in
Lne of his lectures in Boston, n llustra-
ting the manner in which soils might be
rendered fertile, says, that "a farm within
his knowledge, which was a blowing sand,
pine barren, AID almost hopeless, on
which even ten bushels Of corn to the acre
could scarcely be grown, by the judicious
application Of ashes, had been made to
produce 40 or so bushels to the acre.
We do not question the correctness Of Dr.
Jackson's statements. Our observation
has convinced US that on sandy soils, with
the exception of clay mari, there is nothing
more beneficial in the application to such
soils, than ashes; and fortunately unless
uncommon quantities Of acid exists in such
soils, leached ashes are nearly as bencf-
cial as unlcached ones. Ashes do what
lime cannot: they render the soil more te-
nacious OF moisture, and although theirI
action is not as prompt and efficient on
our cold soils, they are for the reason as
signed, considered as valuable on light,
sandy ones. OF this fact the farmers on|
on the light soils Of Long Island and New
Jersey are well aware. and in the gather
ing and application Of ashes find a certain
source of proft.-CUHirator.
