Ter oil thursday, that the question of referring |
that portion of the Presidents MESSAGE which |
relates to the Tariff. to the Committee On Mn
ufactures, had been carried in the afr;rn,at;~o
This question has been considered as the tsst
question in relation to a protective tariff; and
doubtless each member voted upon it as he will
when it comes up for final action. We rejoice
to record this vote. A Wing House of Repre-
sentatives have decided that the laborer shall
be protected from the competition of the rich
capitalists and poorly paid operatives of the old
world.
The vote stood upon Atherton's resolution
SO to 1O4; II Opposition and 90 Wings voted
yea, 81 Wings and Is Opposition voted nay.
Protection triumphant By nine majority. Ofthe
IL Opposition who voted with the Wings, ten
uere from The stale Of Pennsylvania !; one of
The other three was Parmenter, of this State.
We are glad that he had independence enough
not to be drawn into the wake of the New.

MORE NEW STATES. Gov. Chambers, of
Iowa, and Gov. Doty, of Wisconsin territory,
recommend 10 their respective Legislatures
that immediate application be made to Congress
.,xt- Al H. e L
sons assigned for an early application is, that
they may receive their proportion of the reve-
nue. arising from the sale of the public lands.
The debt of Iowa is only about ten thousand
dollars. The debt of Wisconsin is $4,000
1t seems, from Gov. Doty's message, that the
most gross Encouragement of the affairs of the
Territory has prevailed by those who have been
his predecessors.
VtRGrsIA.-The resolution which has been I'M
de: debate in the House Of Representatives oflthe
state of Virginia, for instructng its Senators 10

"THg HOME LEAGUE" -More than 6ftY thou
sand papers issued daily from the press of this
city New York which advocate doctrines d.
rectly adverse 10 the interests of the laboring
classes of our citizens, and calculated 10 BRING
down The recompense Of their toll 10 level with
that of the vassals OF Europe. We ask them 10
think and inquire for hem> elves. In many parts
of Europe, days labor will not procure more
than one-fourtt Of the reward il will here. The
Journal of Commerce, the Evening Post. and q e
Sun contend that the workmanship of other |
counrri should be admitted free Of duty, altho' |
these same countries prohibit or tax "eSsvely |
every article made in America that is attempted |
TO be Carried into their ports. This the papers |
mentioned, say is Free Trade Our ports open |
10 foreigners, and their closed against pro1uc-
tons The Home League was formed 10 expose !
these decep,ions, and Ia show the LahoIiIg Poo !
pie that those who tell them this are deceived OF !
not their fiiends-io expose them publicly, and
show TO all interest d in American Labor that
these are pretended an | net real friends. All
parties and all denominations who desire the

les and Wofkingmen begin TO through this
imposition. They are satisfied that it is not Free
Trade 10 admit the articles male n foreign coun-
tries TO come here without paying any duty.
when the articles made in America ,ent abroad
are refused abundance into foreign ports unless
on the payment of duties So high as 10 prohibit
them. We have already proof that the Hume
LIE que has done good. Several petitions agains,
this ruinous doctrine have been drawn up and
are now in circulation and dawn up by hands
that work every day. We published one of these
petitions On Saturday last (; we republish il TO-
day, and ask all who earn their living bv THEN
Labor 10 read it, and Judge for themselves whether
ii is wise OF permit foreigners TO bring over and
sell TO our customers when We can abundanIiv
supply them ourselves, and retain the money in
our own country 10 circulate ard keep our own
industry alive.
