effect than 10 paralyzc all their struggles and to defeat

that almost any eoutse WAS preferable tC
being auxiliary to its adoption. No one
will deny that it is measure for pro
lection .throushout, who considers the
followin. points:
l. That there is not an article manu-
factureil IN the country, nor one that can
come into competition with domestic
manufactures, upon which high duty i.
not imposed.
Q. There is hardly a raw material u.
sed by the manufacturers, which is not Ell.
ther admitted duty free, or submitted It
a very light duty.
8. The NEST Of the articles f,r which
domestic manufactures are exchanged a,
broad have onlya light duty imposed up.
on them; while thetwo principal ones
for which they are exchange,i--colfte
and tea-are admitted duty free.
4. That on another hand, nearly all
the articles forwhich the great agriealtu-
raj staples are exchanged, including pro-
visions, are subject to high duty.
1t is perfectly evident, then, that the
bill, intended to be revenue measure.
is, fron beginning to end, tax laid up
on the community for the benefit Of a
particular class.

We are aware that the emergencies OF
the treasury are pleaded in extenua5ion ;
tIlat many say they could not go home to
meet their constituents without making
some provision for revenue. But we
doubt whether their constituents would
have held them responsible. if they had
proposed some better measure--one that
would have given ampleTevenue, and at
the same time avoided the policy OF pro-

CHANGE OF PUBLIC OFFICERS.

We heard yesterday, iiom two sources
entitled to credit, that the Hon. p. c.
FULLER, Second Assistant Postmaster
General, is to go out on the 1st proSino.
and bis place is to be supplied by JOHN
A. BRYAE.-esq., of Columbus, Ohio. The
Second Assistant Postmaster General APP
points tire postmasters ut all tie miner
post Offices; and, therefore, has more
patronage, in the way of appointment,
than any. other oficer.under the General
Government. The change will indicate
that Mr.. FULLER has not consulted the
wishes Of tie President in making the
appointments.
1t is now, we believe. reduced to a
certainty that Hon. WoLe1 Forward is to
give wav to the Hon. Caleb Cushing, al
