Sign S. In the recent state conventions III New
York, massachusetts, and New Jersey, the Wings
have Ia ken high and bold stand in favor OF
PROT ECTIVE TARIFF. On the other hand,
to use he language of the Albany Journal in ref
erence the political meetings in New York.
"the lot !ofoco conventions either silent ON this
vilaHy important subject or with lated breath
speuk of being friendly to Incidental proection,"
or boldly take ground against any and every Tar
if and in Eapor Of British free trade" In tie n.
York legislature recently, the Wings offered resp
lulions in both branches in favor Of Protective
Tariff. the locos would mol adopt Them. The ~
York locofocos in their state contention under
took satisfy both branches ofthe party, the Nor
thcrn and Southern, The protectonisis and the
freel .nders but it was failure. The iree-tra.
ders complained, and forthwith lucofoco organ
leaps TO the rescue-by explaining aicay all |duor
10 protection. Read the following. The Cutsk
Recorder is an organ of the country locoiocos ;
Tie Pos, is city paper
From the CatskW Recorder.
PROTECT ON
The Daily Morning .st thinks that The resolu-
ton adopted o. tie Syracuse Loco Foco] Con-
yentou in reference to the Tariff, is not sufficient
Iy clear, and protests against lis spirit because ii
recognizes The principle Of protection. The follow
ing is the language of the resolution the italics
being ours:
"Resolved, That we are the friends OF per-
manent tariff sufficient to meet the wants of gov
eminent, economically administered, and discrlm-
naling in its character, so as to afford protection
to the mechanical and manufacturing, withom bur-
dening The agricultural and planting interests"
Ir APPEARS TO US THAT THIS is AN EFFECTUAL
PAR TO "pRorECTIoN," IN THE ORDINARY ACCEP.
rArIoN OF THE TERM. IL we go no farther in
protecting one class Than we can go without bur-
dening another, it will be but precious little
ways--no, far enough either to help or hurt any
one. This is the idea which in our judgment the
resolution is intended to express, although Toe con-
fess zoe should haze liked ii beiter fhe language had
been more du eel and pointed.

CONGRESSIONAL.

Mr. Allen, of Ohio, proposed call on the Pre-
sdent to state the progress OF the negoclation on
the Caroline affair; but Messrs. Calhoun and
Rives were suddenly very much afraid of embar-
RAISING the President by asking for such informa-
ton while the negotiation was in progress 1t
did not occur to them in the Creole case, when
slavery, and not Northern rights or interests were
concerned. But they prevailed, and the matter
was laid on the table. A bill to appropriate
$25O,OOO to build an iron steam frigate, on Ste
vens' plan, to be bomb, shot and she'll proof, was
passed, and also read twice in the House. If
such vessel can be built, il must supersede all
other harbor defences.
The most important item | have reserved for
the last. mean Mr.. Webster's letter, enclosing
his despatch to Mr. Everett about the Creole case.
1t excites much indignation among the Northern
members. 1t asserts that the constitution guar
antees slavery; that these Creole men were guilty
of mutiny and murder, Mr.. Webster well knows
that they were out of the limits of any slave

one would have thought much about it. But CO.

public liberties, full of danger and dread. The
time has now come when the free States must de-
eide whether they will be drawn into bloody
war to waste the resources of the nation, and de-
prave its morals, in order to defend the american
coast slaue trade. What say your readers? Are
