FAN THE EMBERS.

The Tribune is rejoiced at the prospect of nomi-
mating Mr. Calhoun the candidate for the Presi-
dency, in hopes that the rich manufacturers and high
protective tariff men will have the power to over
throw him. We think the days of these exclusives,
and the power OF these capitalists, who desire to
prosper at the expense of every other interest," are
numbered and the tariff which they have now forced
upon the country, by the unholy waged upon the
Executive, has given final blow to their prospects
Smuggling will be rife on our Canadian borders-the
manufacturers will find that their voracous and eX
elusive doctrines in running up duties which amount
to prohibition, will set the ingenuity of foreign man
ufacurers at work to devise ways and means for the
introduction of their fabrics, and with exposed
line of coast, there great difficulties in detecting
and Furnishing them. The ultra Wings it is very
clear will make the fight upon the United States
Bank-the distribution of the public lands and high
tariff and ZACH of these interests will be strongly OPP
posed by all the other interests of the country COM
bined. The high tariff men will soon have reason
to exclaim, "save me from my friends" Few will
invest their capital in manufactures, and the princ-
pies of free trade will make rapid strides the
whole country, the ground Of preferring open and
direct taxation to the many devices foot to
extract money indirectly from the pockets of the
people
The Tribune and other journals in the pay of rich
manufacturers will discover, whenever the period Of
discussing the Presidential question shall arrive, that
but ONE candidate will be presented by the Democra-
tic party for the support of the people, and that one
candidate will be dnti-bank, anfi-hgh tariff and
against the distribution of the public lands and such
one will undoubtedly succeed. A high tariff cand-
date alone, opposed by the interests of commerce and
agriculture, can make but little Roadway in these
times
While on the subject of high tariff and the army
of operatives it necessarily enlsts, may as well
look to of the consequences illustrated in the fol-
lowing manner at Philadelphia:
(Reported for the Evening Journa)
DIsGRAcEFUL.--A number of the weavers who pa
raded the streets Saturday, strike, committed
several me st outrageous acts on persons who were
disposed and absolutely compelled to work for the
SUPP ort of their families. Among the rest, the Zen
tered the house of named Edward Finegan Ii
wing in Brmton street. Moyamensng, and ordered
him to stop work, which he refused to do. Where
upon they commenced beating him with clubs and
drove him from his own house. A daughter of his,
child of about five years ofage, struck over the
forehead with club, and knocked senseless to the
ground. Upon examination it was found that an in
dentation was made in her forehead, which NAV
probably cause her death They afterwards tore the
unfinished work from the loom Of Mr.. F. and carried
it to the manufacturer for whom he was working
This is the commencement only of the system of
bringing together in masses the operatives of Eng
land We must find them in work, or in bread when
there is work, we shall have repetitions of the
above scenes frequently.
