WHEAT AND Corfos.--The Middle
STATES and The Southe,n.-lf the British
markets weresopened 10 our grain a. they
are to cotton, the farmers Of the United
States would export -four and wheat to
Great Britain 20 the amount o tseme hIteen
or twenty millions annually. II England
and France would remove their eAorbltent
duties upon American tobacco, our planters
would find sales abroad to the extent OF
many millions more. But these two arti-
cIes, flour and tobacco, the chief staples
of this latitude. and Of the Middle States
generally, are taxed enormously in England
and France. Flour is almost entirely ex-

When We call for a tariff of regulatory

our Staples, the South raises a great cutlery,
and declares tbs measure to be uaconstitu-
tional. Let AS suppose that Southern cot
ton vas subjected in England to daties'as
heavy as those npon our -four and tobacco,
would u tariff be unconstitutional then!
We put the question in all candor.
1t is important, too, that this question
should be put, and that the South should
study out an answer 10 it. "Ihe time IL
rapidly app~roaehing,' says the Boston Al
las, ''when the corn laws of England Wi
become forgotten, while southern patriot

England, meet food for oil! the ind gnation

Simply berausc she cannot procure sutii-
cient supplies elsewhere. That necessity
will exist for some time, whether we raise
our tariff or net. But it may not contl-
nue. very long. Her efforts to raise cotton
in India will be pushed with all the energy
Of British genius and power. In the mean
time, before England can Cit of the cotton
of the South, is It not our policy to enlarge
the home market by the encouragement of
domestic manufacturers ii is for the South

PETIr1oSs.-One of the most aggrievcd
citizens Of this country, is the editor of the
Charleston Mercury. We hope Congress
| will attend to his case Immediately. When
mercury rises it indicates some heat, and
we shouldn't be surprised if the editor burst
ms boiler, if he meets with the neglect
usllI|y visited upon private petitions.
Most that he asks is very reasonable, and
as the treasury is full, the expense is no OBJ
ject. His prayer is for the enlargement Of
The Pacific Ocean, and a bridge across the
Atlantic also for the filling Up of Lake
Superior-to make a little more land--as
it IS very scarce this year.

TAcr.-Well connected murderers OF
%swindie1s, or such as are rich or have in
f~iuentlal friends or great political influence,
can always command two trials, while
your poor creatures are tried bnt once, are
sentenced and hung without the slightest
exhibition Of sympathy on the part Of a e2s.-
erous public. Such as these have not the
means to push through bills of exceptions.
It's a farce to talk of he impartiaIity and
sureiaess of jastice-unless in the case of a
poor wretch who cuts his wifes throat
while laborlng under d Fl. Of irasanity-or
in the case of a miserable wretch who steals
