The Federal farce performed on Friday las
al the Battery and in the Tai ernacle, has pro-
duced very little impression here at least, so
infer from the fact that "The Life of Henry
Clay with portrait" published in the New

Wing Committee, has been hawked about The
streets, to day, almost without elictlng bid
The little news boys have been what they tech
nically term ''struck" This, however, is 10y

city were inclined TO treat this exhibition of
Wing arrogance a joke, they felt that the
wanton outrage upon the dignity of the nation,
and the Presidential Office, perpelra:ed at the
Ashburton dinner" on Thu sday lasr, demands
graver notice. The insult 10 John Tyler,
dastardIy and malignant as ii was, is nothing
in comparison to that offered to the american
people in his person-an insult Intentionally rem
dered more palpable by the demonstration of
profound respect for the Queen Of ENGLAND, by

best to impress the representative OF Great Bri-

South in relation TO what they characteristica-

Poor fools--they cannot believe in any thing in
which self-nterest is not the central principle
They will learn, ere long, that the People know
neither North nor South, when the country is
in danger, and that majority, vaster, as be-
heve than ever sanctioned any nomination for
Office in these States, will acquiesce, one man,
in the decision of Democratic National Con-
vention, be its voice for JOHN TYLER JOHN c..

The merchants here are awaiting somewhat
impatently the arrival of an authenticated copy
of the late Tariff act, and the Treasury insruc-
tons for its application. No goods have yet
been entered under the new law. The general
impression is that it will not work well even
for revenue The high tariff fever is pretty well
over, not only in this country, but throughout
the liberal portion Of the civilized world.
