OUR FAITHLESS REPRESENTATIVE

Mr.. SaltonstaU represents constituency deeply in
teresed in the settlement of the tariff question, IN
some loay AS the Newburyport Herald says "any
thing better than the present uncertainty to the
course of policy which the Government of the coun-
try is to pursue" Mr.. Salonsall could whine and
whmper most patheticaly about the tancied dangers
that beset the Union, when the Veto of the Clay ST.
Iaoins plot was received in Congress, but he
failed to make the least effort to save the tariff by sep
aratng it from extraneous measure
Mr.. Saltonstal was of the first to proclaim the
opinion that duties could be legally collected under
the revenue law itnow stands. If such were his
real opinion, he, chairman of the Committee on
Manufactures, was the very nan who should have
moved for the passage of abl In accordance with the
suggestion of Mr. Gushing, to legalize the present
mode of evyng duties until law should be
passed This imperative matter of duty, Mr. Salton-
stall has neglected Mr. Roosevelt, democratic
member introduced bill to this effect, which was
voted down by the Clay majority MIR. Saltonsta
doubtless among the number
As protested friend of the manufacturing ne-
rest why has Mr.. Saltonstall neglected to for
separation of the twin projects of Tariff and Dlsrl-
button that each measure might be passed separate
ly, its own merits, and stand or fall separately
The Representative from this District has herein
proved most wantonly treacherous to his constituents
and if through his connivance and neglect of duty
the Government is ultimately left without revenue,
and foreign imports allowed to be poured in upon
us without any duty at all, what valid excuse can
there be for him? What can he say, on his return
home, to those who by their votes, entrusted their IN
erests to his care Will he have the effrontery to
attempt to soothe his betrayed and injured constu-
en,s by saying, in response to their justly indignant
complaints, that the mischief and ruin acclulDg from
the defeat of all repenue through Federal Wing
rickery and stratagem, will make good political CAPT.
tailor Henry Clay? Is this poor consideration to
compensate them for the evils inflicted upon them by
sagnant and unsettled condition of business We
opne they will decide that they pay quite too dear for
the wills tie.

COMMON SENSE.

friend, who is very anxious for the passage of a
Tariff, and who is also strongly in favor of the Land
Distribution measure, begs us to say that he thinks
they ought to be presented to the President in two
bills He says, if the President is in favor of one of
these excellent measures, that he ought to have the
opportunity of saying That If by pressing them
upon the President in BILL both measures shonld
be lost, the country will hold the members accounta-
BILE to the nation, who have joined them and thus
lost both. We give this view to our readers; and
trust that it may reach the eyes of some of our sena
tors, who may think Of yoking the two measures to-
gether. The members will find their return home,
that nneenths of the people they meet, are in favor
of dividing the Land from the Tariff measure, and
think that President Tyler is right in asking for their
separate consideration.

Snake 81 ry.-The Reading Democrat says:-"A
ratlesnake of the largest kind was killed Tuesday
last on Guldns Hill, in this county, the Black
Bear tavern, in the following singular manner. A
little boy who had been engaged on the hill in assist
ing to make staves mounted a mulberry tree in his
neghborhood. He had not been on long when his
hand ca ne in with the tail of the snake, which
was few feet above his head itgave its usual sig
nal of attack; when the boy became acquainted with
his situation he made rapid descent, followed by his
snake-shp. He fortunately laid hold of CLUB and
bruised his head before it reached the ground. The
snake me- asued feet and It's tail contained ii rat
ties, and supposed to be about Ia years old.
We doubt this story, and we profess to
have some knowledge of the manners and
customs" Of snakes Ratlesnakes do not and
cannot ascend trees, If ii had II rattes it was
II years old. After running twenty PAGES a
large rattlesnake could not catch child 2years

posTMAsTERs' COMMISSIONS.

We are glad to have 1t in our power TO an
nounce that the Postmaster General has re-
scinded the order re-adjusting and reducing
the commissions of Deputy Postmasless. This
order, originally made with great reluctance by
him, was precautionary. He had just grounds
to apprehend deficiency in the revenue OF the
Department to meet its current obligations
The economy which he has been enabled to in
troduce into the service, and the increased vigt
lance of the Deputy Postmasters in the execu-
ton and enforcement of the laws regulating
their duties, have satisfied him that with a con-
tinuation Of a like service by all the agents Of
the Department, its obligations may be met by
its income, during the present year

The attitude which the President of the United

mad designs. He will not sacrifice the principles that
have marked and characterized his political career by
sanctioning measures at war with them. He will not
re establish National Bank which he has always
oppo ed and denounced He will not strip the Gov
eminent of the last penny of Ievenue it has ndepen

reviled, by the party with which he has been
identified under the general cognomen of Wing.

A DRESSING.

"MAJoR Noah, it is said, has been appointed keeper
of the Presidents conscience. The Major has had
about as much as he could do to take of his own
conscience; how he will manage to take care of the
Captains is more than we can say, unless he should
turn his of, to shift for itself, which presume
will be the result"
The above is from the Philadelphia North Amer
can, paper said to be edited by the Rev. Mr.. Col
ton, Chaplain in the Navy. If this be so, it exhibits
very unchristian and unclerica-ke spirit, and for
officer in the public service very disrespectful

SHIP-BUILDING


1t is understood here that the bill now before Con-
gress has been so amended as to impose duty of
cents a pound on sheathng copper, and 5 cents
pound on tarred cordage These amendments will well
nigh put an end to the coppering and rigging of ships
in this country. They will destroy the marine rail-
ways, and in great measure put end to the occu-
patons of the ship-yards. This is of the most
unfortunate movements for American industry, if
that is the object which could be devised. Our
ships go abroad for all the rigging which it is
possible to go for. The cost of recoppering ship
wo-thirds of its labor and but onethird for the
difference between the old copper and the new. The
duty copper would stop the recoppering of ships.
There five copper-rolling establishments in the
country all of which have been very successful and
their owners all reputed to be very rich. Why
should such great mischief he done to commerce
and laborcrs, for the doubtful benefit of men who
have very little need of it
