part OF this is very well, and the suggestion, if
carried out, might perhaps, do good, but England must

In ve free trade from US. We have been humbugged
long enough by theories. Here is another common
tary from The Liverpool Times of the Goth ult 1t in
PRODUCES the articles upon the Trenty with the following
remarks:
"The Americans gain some islands in the Upper
Lakes The Treaty is undoubtedly very favorable 10
America and especially to The State of Maine, but the
sacrifices may have been worth making for the sake OF
preserving peace, and putting an end to dispute OF
sixty years Standing.
The Treaty articles are followed up with these re-
marks
1.-THE satisfaction produced by the Of Lord Ash.
burton treaty has been greatly diminished by the m
telligence that Congress and President Tyler have
passed Tariff of duties on imports, many of which
prove most oppressive, if not destructive, to the trade
of England This is precisely the result winch was
anticipated and predicted to follow, from The
obstinate refusal Of Sir Robert Pees Administration
To admit American wheat and -four such terms
as would have given the wheat growing States the
same interest in resisting high duties on British
goods as the cotton growing States now have
The representatives of the latter have been ouivoed
| by combination Of hostile members, oil whom q
few have been rendered hostile by their interest IN
American monopoes but the greater part by their DIS
gust at British exclusions Our Legislature has i'm
posed duty which is intended to be prohbitory, ex.
cept in years Of scarcity on the only description oil
produce. with which the Western and Northern States
ca supply 49, and can then wonder that they should
have realaed by imposing heavy duties on our goods:
II is 10 little purpose indeed that the Government sent
negotiaors arrange treaties Of peace, when it has
thus thrown away that commercial freedom which is
the greatest of all the advantages which can give,
and the only security for IFS continuance.
Tmr IssuE-lt appears TO US that while good
fre nds the Wings are condemning Captain Tyler for
refusal 10 carry what they aege was the well un.
derstood policy Of the Wing party at the last Presiden-
tal election they are We, unwilling to avow the same
policy that of their party al the present moment;
they unwilling TO risk The pending elections ana
the approaching Presidential campaign upon II: they
are preparing the way justify another candidate, it his
success possible, in treating them exactly as MIR.
Tyler has done.
In the late contest in this city, they did not venture
to nut their claims to success the ground fthe sup
port of a National Bank IT, in instance, speak.
er declared himself friendly TO one, 1t was as an express
sion of his private opinion, and not rs stating the poll
cy Of his whole party In their handbs and plucards,
while the Tariff and Henry Clay were seen IN staring
capitals, National Bank not mentioned.
We observe that they pursue similar course in N
York and in other States In New York their State
Committee has issued long address advertng to ma
tional policy and tie Tariff but making no allusion 10
a National Bank In the Southern sections of the
country, however, they equally careful TO make no
mention Of protective Tariff 10 come out openly
against ONE and alegc that Mr. Clay has abandoned IT,
Thus we have great party contendlDg without prIn-
cples for the public eye; for even the principle they
lately mninaned in reference to Rhode Island, OF The
right of the ,w 10 rule over the many, 10 endeavofed
10 be kept out of sight.
If we mistake not the good sense Of the people, they
will neither sustain party which has no principles,
nor one which draws veil over such rs It has

DEMOCRACY TRIUMPuAST.-The news that reached
us Yesterday from The interior Of the Sinte was of the
most gratifying character 1t will be seen that the
Democrats have trumphcd glnrinusy in Bucks, Mont
comery and Chester, and that have gained Sena-
tor in the Chester, Montgomery and Delaware District
I'm the district composed Of Lancaster and York, Judge
Champneys has been elected 10 the Senate, beng
Democratic gain. This secures ma orty IN the
Senate matter of considerable importance just now,
as various subjects of importance are TO be decided on
al the approaching Pennsy'raman, set. ID
M,1yr-The most complete sweep that has probably
been made since the days of William the Norman, ls
that of the Wings in Maine, before that tavorile Demo
cratic leader, Governor Fairfield So utter has been
their discontinue that almost disposed TO pity
them kind, commiseratlng genius, tina, of delay in
making the returns in some counties, seems 10 have
been disposed break their fall little by keeping back
the worst news. In Oxford county, for instance, tie
resul, is not even yet precisely known but Fairfield s
majority over Robinson Whig) ascerained to be not
rss than 1900 votes. There several in the
