THE TARIFF BILLS.

Three tariff bills already occupy the
House of Representatives, and u fourth
has just appeared in the Senate. 1t
comes from the Committee on Manufac-
lures, the members of which are CHEZ =
manufacturers and, having the dish in
their own hands, they have cut and cary
ed for tbemselse in high style. In OBJ
ject. it is the same with all the other
tariff bills-mercIy. the transfer of mo-
ney, by law, from the pockets of the peo-
pie to the pockets OF The manufacturers ;
but the mode of operating is new land be-
speaks talent in the modern art Of legis-
lative depreciation. Cumulative and
compound ad uaioreas duties are assessed
on arbitrary statutory valuations, which
take a maximum of double or quadruple
the REAL value OF the best article Of the
class, and then make it maximum for
the whole class. Upon this Fictitious
valuation, duty generally of Is per
cent. is first imposed, with emulation
of go per cent. more for articles above that
class, aud further duty Of 10 per cent.
more II the al ticle is imported IN TO-
reign ship, and further duty of 10 per
cent. more if the article comes from be-
yond the Cape of Good Hope.
We hope some practical hand will take
up the whole bill, lay it open to the core,
and display its enormities and in'quties
This is the fourth bill now on hand to
establish protective tariffs. In the shame

them all. Ii holds on to the land revenue,

things and the progress Of truth in reforming the
world. And It's even contrary to common sense
The men Of one generation not to follow those
that were on the stage before them any farther
than they were right. They are to receive and
act up to the increasing light that is shining upon
the world. 1t might as well be said that the
beard on the face should be suffered to grow with
out being shaved, to say that it is right to use
strong drink now, because the best of men used to
do so. Good men did not shave the beard for
merly. Or it might be said that the same mple-
ments must be used in husbandry or in mechani
cal labor, and the same books for study, and that
any thing else would be an innovation not to be
tolerated The argument that intoxicating liquors
may be used now as beverage, because they
were used once, is of the weakest ever brought
and does not demand scarcely a moments atten-
ton Or ante Pillar.

PROGRESS OF TEMPERANCE.

Judge Patton, in his recent address to hegrand
jury of the court of quarter sessions of Allegheny
county, thus notices the progress Of the temper
movement in Pittsburgh and its vicinity. 1t is
working wonders throughout the country.
"Ihere is one subject, however, on which we
take occasion to tender you our most sincere con-
CALCULATIONS. Our community teens at this mo-
ment with the most cheering evidence of great
and successful movement in the cause of temper
ance. Hundreds of our citizens have been sudden
ly reclaimed from long confirmed habits of intern
perance. After years of enlargement from all
the ties that men should respect on earth, they
have by their ownyoluntary act of self-denial, be-
come restored to themselves, to their families and
to society. 1t is a spectacle on which no man of
philanthropic views can fail to dwell with feelings
ofunbounded satisfaction. To us personally, as
well as in our official relations, it affords peculiar
pleasure, when we recognize amongst their num-
Der, some who have heretofore been amongst the
foremost of our valuable and public spirited cti-
.zens and others towards whom we have long
cherished the most friendly regard, whose genius
we have long admired, and whom the proper en-
ployment of their time and the legitimate direction
of their mental endewments, would by this time,
have placed amongst the Hottest spirits of the
land.
1t will afford us great pleasure, gentlemen, to
cooperate with you in any measures that may be
calculated to promote the great movement that IS
now going on, and to foster and encourage the spr
it by which it is animated. 1t is one of deep in
terest to every good and virtuous member of soci-
ETY.. 1t gives cheering promise of the removal of
a sore excrescence, which has long been fostering
in the vitals of the body politic.-Aqe.

THE WAY TO BEGIN.

Many man who drinks moderately, or who
does not drink at all, thinks it of no for him
to sign the temperance pledge. He can drink or
not, as he chooses; he does not love it--why
should he sign2 Read the following from an ex-
change paper
You must abandon an object, if you do it at all,
before you begin to love it; you must abandon
drinking before you begin to love the taste of it

OLD SUFFOLK WAKING UP.
she that is not for me is against me.

On the 4th of July last, temperance celebration
was got up at Patchogue, and large procession
marched through the streets with appropriate ban
ners after which plain but thrilling address was
delivered by the Rev. Mr.. Matthias. The effect
was the conversion of several confirmed inebriates
and the work has since continued to progress un-
til they now number over 400 who have Joined
the tee-total ranks. On the lOth'insant we were
at Patchogue, and visited one of the weekly meet
ings, and found it we'll attended, but from the
physiognomy of some present, we Judged total abb
stnence was not pleasing to them. There is
class Of people, Of respectable standing in society,
some of whom are church members too who still
uphold and practice moderate drinking, and like
the Pharisees of old, stand aloof from the work.
The Rev. Mr. Matthias, whose zeal for the cause
cannot be damped nor overcome, has attacked this
respectable class of drinkers, and has given them
no peace, nor shown them any quarter. In their
agony they cry out " let us alone, we are friends
Of temperance - but his reply has been, while
thrustng his cold water lance amongst them,
+" come out from among them, and be we sepa-
rate" The consequence has been that these "l
can drink or let it alone sort of men, feel deep
rooted hostility to the Rev Mr.. Matthias and his
cold water party. And their situation is rendered
still more unpleasant from the fact that the liquor
dealers and rum drinkers praise their temperance
principles to the skies. All, said liquor dealer
the other day, how do abhor these cold water fa-
natics, but there is Deacon R. and Squire S. who
take glass occasionally, what valuable members
Of society they are Yes, hiccoughed fellow
who was sitting by, and who was too drunk to
stand, /" -I-It-t-told you had respectable COM
pany to drink with in Patchogue." 1t is report
ed that man who has made a fortune by dram
selling, and has utterly ruined by the bottle,
said that he tould afford to have one drunken soa
in his family. Such are the blighting whitening
effects of this traffic, that parental feelings are
smothered, and for the sake of paltry pence, men
are found who will calmly pour out the poison,
which consigns their own children to-the untoEd
horrors of drunkard's grave, and drunkard's
eternity. Moderate drinkers, pause-think before
you go further; if you never become confirmed
sots, dare you say that the influence of your ex
