Sufficient proof OF the alsehood OF the high Tariff

also Of the doctrine that high tariff duties necessa
~ TO prevent an excess of mporatons Almost all the
high duties which the Tariff men want, are leveed
against England; and yet England, as we have seen,
buys OF good deal more than we buy OF her. Fur
Their II may fairly be deduccd from the above facts,
that high duties do not necessarily diminish importa
tons or il they do that they diminish also the exports
in at least an equal ratio. By examination OF the
first table above published, ii viii be found that from

after weh Mr.. Wood got up and begged to he excused

On the next evening, however, after the great majo

We do not hesitate, from all the evidence before us
to pronounce the meeting on Tuesday evening ma.
intended surprise upon the great body Of
The "Whigs" in the country. The meeting on Mon
dav be il remembered, had adjourned over To April
Court and most of the country wings had left under
the tni conviction that there would be nomination
until that time. Uader these circumstances the meet
ing Tuesday evening was gotten NJ, we learn, ~
tie friends Of Dr. Nass'e. The maEnuyre succeeded
and the Doctor got the nomination.
There was evidently combination in favor Of Dr.
Hlasse, which some may be disposed 10 regard
ther singular, but which, We think, is very natural
We the combination o! the Old Federal and the
Conservative influence. He nominated by gen
,lcnan Of the old Federal stamp, and, far are
able 10 Judge, sustained by nearly the whole of
that Influence in the meeting. Besides, he declared

being interpreted, meanch. in Wing nomenclature
