Here we have the round sum OF s42, 900 600 OF
domestic products consumed m tho State oil Mas
sachuseus-u State OF 1917 900 nhnbitants-in
single year. The importance of such i home mar
ket will appear when We consider that the average
of entire export from the United States for :ha
last ten years, exclusive OF the manufactured arti
cles, amounts 10 only $50 100000. So that the
State OF Massachusetts consumes annually, of the
products Of other States, more than half the amount
Of our whole foreign export, less the manufactured
articles; and the articles thus consumed in nv own
State are the ptoduc, OF every State OF this Union.
Maine supplies lumber, wood, lime, leather, and
potatoes; New Hampshire, wool, butter, cheese,
beef and pork; Vermont wool, iron beef, pork, but
ter, cheese, and potash; Rhode Island lime; Counec
tcut iron; New York -four, wool leather, butter,
cheese, and gran New Jersey grain, grass seed, and
fruit; Pennsylvania iron. coal, wool, leather, and
potash; Delaware grain; Maryland corn, tobacco
and leather; Virginia corn, flour. tobacco, and coal
North Carolina tar, pitch, and turpentine; South
Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi, cot
ton and rice; Louisiana cotton, sugar, and moasses
Arkansas cotton, beef and pork; Tennesse, cotton,

OF some OF the leading articles which the different
STATES furnish 70 tho Massachusetts market Be-
sides these, there other articles, which pro
duced 10y the whole valley Of the Mississippi, such
as hides, fur, beans, castor oil, Ink seed, &c.
The great West is Immediately connected with
New England, and there finds the best market for
her product. BY means OF the great lakes, canals,
and railroads, Ohio, Michigan. and the upper por
ton Of the Mississippi valley, communicate with
New England; and the rapidly increasing commerce
between New Orleans and Boston brings tho pro.
ducts OF all the States bordering upon the Missis-
sippi into Boston market, where a vast amount Of
them are disposed OF. BY returns from Boston, fur

SATURDAY MORNINGS. OCT. L.
The Tariff and fse Land .Nentp

f~tU ana fac Luna
Onc Of the main objections to the Distribution OF
the Land Fund, the part of tho Locos, was that il
would render higher Tariff necessary. We never
could admit that there was any force in this OBJ
lection the simple reason, that the greater the
amount Of money at the disposal Of the Federal
Government, the greater its expenditure. This
has been the case ever since modern Democracy
had sway. The more they had, the more they
would spend-and in Mr. Van Buren's time, they
spent all their resources, and eight millions year
in addition-for large portion Of which they went
in debt. But fthere any force in the objec-
ton, it is now removed. II is conceded, that the
Tariff Bill Of the late session will supply revenue
adequate TO all the wants OF economical admin
istration OF the Government. The Federal Gov
ernmeni, therefore. has no occasion for the Land
Money-und if permitted to retain II, will squander
II, as 1t has squandered it for the last ten years.
The wants OF the Federal Government being thus
provided for, no plausible pretoXt can be urged
against the States receiving the Fund which belongs
TO them. They stand dreadfully in need of it,
Thsec fourths Of them greatly embarrassed, and
to maintain their faith have TO resort TO additional
taxation. This increased burden, the people were
never worse prepared TO bear. The cry OF hard
times is universal, and it is not uttered without
cause. The policy of the Locofocos-which has
had unchecked sway for twelve years-has wrought
its legitimate and predicted results. II has subs.
tuted widespread distress for general ptosperity-
and instead of the better currency and the better
times, which it promised, has pretty nearly deprived
us Of any currency, and made the times worse than
they have been during the present century.
The people aud the States, therefore, want the
land money to relieve their embsrrussments;-ihey
want it to diminish their taxes, to educate their
children and to carry forword their systems Of im
provemeni. They want it too, on the score OF
policy. They wish to deprive the Federal Govern
mcnt Of a fund, which only ministers TO the prod
galiiy OF our Federal rulers. They wish TO aug
mcnt the resources, and increase the responsibility
Of the States. Ii the land money had been dis
tribu,ed ten years ago, proposed by Mr. Clay
every State Government would now be free OF
dsbt, ard efficient school sysIems, and extensive
Internal Improvements would exist in every State.
The waste and corruption, which, to the disgrac
Of the age have been exhibited in the Federal Ads
ministraton, would, for lack OF means, never have
reached the pitch OF extravagance, which we have
to deplote.
I The Wings, if entrusted with the Government,
will undertake 10 administer the affairs of the
try with the present tariff, and at the same time,
distribute the land fund among the States. Can
the Locos promise rs much Will they no, waste
the land money aud the customs and millions in ad
ditionl Their past conduct answers the question.

lCjS Wo cannot sloop to handy epthe;s with
the Editor OF the Enqurer. In n contest or that
kind, we ndmi, his superiority, and yield to him
the palm without struggle. Genr Jackson, who
was famed for his knowledge of men, once pro-
nouncej him "the greatest scoundrel in Americs; /"
and we are conten, to abide by the decision of so
grave an authority.
AS 10 our being the organ, and the unworthy
organ OF the Whigs-which seems to make this
disinlerested patriot very unhappy-all we have to
say, is that appreciate his soiici:udc but he lies
under a Misrepresentation. We arc not the organ,
nor do we aspire to be the organ of any man, or
set OF men. We speak our own sentiments for
which we alone answerable. We are proud TO
believe that large, respectable, intelligent and
PATRIOTS portion Of our countrymen concur with US
in our views Of political affairs. But they neither
dictate TO us our conduct, nor are they in any de-
gree responsible for it. That the Editor Of the
Enquirer, who has ever been the servile tool Of q
clique, should judge by himself was natural,
and may be, TO those who recolect his recent de
fence Of his Dotage, excusable. But no is hearth
ly welcome to monopoly Of the business OF or
ganism. We will compete with him in that no
more than we will in billingsgate.
The cause Of his aniable anxiety for the Wings,
in having such an organ as the Wing, we well I'M
derstand. Notwithstanding his inve;era.e Tory
ism, he has scruples against tlking little Wig
money-parIieularly, # he could thereby deprive
the Wing of the means Of paying its workmen-a
Circumstance, which was won; TO impart to his gen
erous bosom the most unalloyed satisfaction He
never can forgive us for having larger subscrp
ton than he has, and enjoying an advertising pat.

ANOTHER CASE OF EMBEZZLEMENT.


JoHS AuERs, the lat, Clerk in the Mayors office,
was arrested last nigh, by officers MeGra,h and
Stevens on a warrant issued 10y Justice Mcrritt'
on charge OF Felony. MIR Ahern, it appears has
helped himself annually, for number Of years
back, 10 some four or FIVE thousand dollars by
making short returns Of the Communication mouies
reeeived for emigrants arriving here. How much
the sum will finally foot up is yet impossible to
tell, as there appears to be re:ord in the Mayors
office, or, at all events very imperfect one, of the
monies paid in for these emisrants.
A partial examination was held last night, and
for upwards of $4,000 it is already ascertained
Mr. Ahern is deficient. The probability is that it
will exceed fifty thousand dollars This is a fl
sequel to the "rom Lloyd" robbery, and will not
il IS surmsed, be the last of the developments which
the Wing Aldermen in the course of their investi-
cations, will have to disclose.
correspondent sends US this paragraph:
The Mayors late Clerk, whom his Honor exc
pressed so much natural anxiety to keep in office
was arrested last evening on the charge of having,
IN democratic phrase "mis applied" but in hones,
paTlance stolen, public monies. The amour: is said
to be over $4,000.
We hear also that the 81, 900 which the Mayor
stock the responsibility" (that is another soft de
mocrauc phrase) OF taking from the public monte:
without the authority OF law, and which he stated
had been paid TO the Superintendent Of Streets, i:
not credited in Mr. Cages account and that he
brings the City in deb, to him SIl3.
The anxiety OF the Mayor TO retain his friends in
power, even at the risk of defraudng the electors
and suppressing the returns, is now explained.
The Wing committees ofthe Board have no, vet
completed their examinations, hut we hear that
more Of the "ncouuptible democracy" will be found
-corruplible. Y. Amer.
