TOPICS IN DISPUTE.

What surprising harmony has been produced BY
the controversies of the last fifteen years The
u. s. Bank and the great doctrines by which it was
sustained and by means of which the whole country
was convulsed for ten years,-where they all p
That question is at rest forever. The country has
with surprising unanimity determined that the laws
which are inherent in currency sufficient; or at
any rate that bank cannot control those laws or
make their operation more salutary. No great party
unless bent sefdestruction, will ever again unite
ITS destiny with the doctrines of bank Internal inn
provements by the general government, have ceased
to be talked of Once, politicians agitated the coun-
try from one end to the other, on that subject The
internal improvements (by the nation) and the Bank
are buried together never TO rise again The only
remaining feature of the great american System"
which has power to agItate the community. is pro-
ective tariff; and that has not much power-for the
difference IN opinion among our citizens is not great
All agree that the necessary for the support
of Government should be raised by tariff on i'm
portatlons, and that would be protection of tw MY
five per cent at the least This i'm itself would sat
isy more than half the whole manufacturing interest
But the friends of Free Trade would go still farther
and consent to discrimination, reducing the duty to
fifteen per cent jewelry and such other article. of
great value III proportion TO their bulk as would be
Struggled under high duty, and raising the duty to
thIrty-hve per cent on some interests which have es-
peclal need of help. This would satisfy almost all
the manufacturers In truth, therefore, there is very
lltte controversy among the people on this subject
1t IS the politicians only, who keep up the agitation,
and they will not be able to do it long. The tariff
question will soon be permanently settled If this
congress is recreant enough to its duty TO leave the
work undone, the next Congress will perform it.
This is fair view of the tariff question. The only
other topic of general controversy the proceeds Of
the public lands. These two questions are all that
divide the country All the rest is personality Can
IL be that anything in these differences makes me-
cessary that the Government should be without a
revenue, and the whole business Of the country pros
trated IN uncertainty If the people could but ex
press their opinions in one general assembly, they
would settle everything in day. If the powers at
washington would for one day put themselves under
the influence OF patriotic DESIRES the country would
be at once relieved In fact such is the pressure to-
wards peace in the settlement Of all disputed points
that IT requires the most desperate efforts Of poll
ucians to prevent it.
