eyes Of ito political friends who arc in favor of
domestic industry. While their party in Co.
gress, throughout the cnun'ry--ay, even in our
own Massachusetts, legislature, show, by their
votes, their hostility to the interest of the la
borer and their preference for the products Of
foreign pauper labor, their press is busly en-
gagged in throwing dust into the eyes Of the reo-
pie by spccious promises, made only 10 deceive,
and meaning nothing. II the Post really is in
favor Of judicious discriminating tariff, let il
say what will suit it. II Mr.. Saltonstall's re-
port is good one, and his proposed tariff jn-
dicious one, why not be honest enough, MIR.
Post, to say SO! II not, why not give the pub
lie the benefit of your objections The great
organ Of the Locofoco party, the Globe, is, how
ever, less cautious and non.committal than the
Post. 1t has come ont, upon the proposed iarlh
bill, with the whole force of its fccbleness.--
vi The raw.head and bloody. bones OF the Hart
ford Convention are enlisted in the assault. j.
seems almost at loss even for words of suf1i-
cient vrulence and bitterness Of party venom
and party slang to testify its hate. Hear the
Globe for a moment:
awe endeavored few days ago, to give to the
country some idea Of this new bill OF utter
denominations, in which protection is openly Ia
ken as the object of the bill, and revenue follows
behind, az the consequence and the incident; and
in which every species Of duty-specific, ad va
loren, cumulative, Fl .icu', and reta'ia'ory-
were collected together and heapcd up in pile
on imported articles, in order to throw millions
upon millions of dollars into the hands Of a few
manufacturers, and thus make this tariff in adj
dition TO it's first object, substitute for national
bank, in enabling the few to plumber the many.
The general view which We presented of the
bill would do this but to have any adequate
itpa IF tho opDrp,itv and pictoIppss nj the
new Hartford Convention tariff, we must view
it in detail, and give separate examination to
some Of its prominent PROVISIONS
The above hardly requires any comment. II
is but short extract, but it can speak for the
whole. 1t shows the spirit of the opposition
which every and any tariff bill, having for its
object any discrimination in favor OF home in
dustrv, will encounter from the party of which
the Globe is the organ. This attack Of the
Globe upon the bill Of the Committee on Man.
ufactures, will be echoed and reechoed by the
Locofoco presses in every portion Of the coun-
try, and will form the text for many partizrn
harangue. Meanwhile the Post and its few
doubIe-dealing, hypocritical, caniing prctenders
in favor of home labor will continue their futile
Efforts to deceive the people of the United
States, and blind them to the trcachcry and hos
tlity Of Locoiocoisn to the best interests of the
ton. they will tell us, if word be said to en-
pose the open hostility Of their whole party to
the cause of American labor. Not make it a
party question! Who compcs us so to make
it, if we would not give up entirely the whole
question in Issue Who but the leaders of the
very party of which the Post is a most subms-
sive member! VINO have ever attempted to
stit1e all investigation into the wants Of a suf-
ferlng country! The entire Tory portion #
Congress Who made it a party question when
Mr.. Winthrop moved, last summer, for a com.
mttee Of Investigation for the sake of much
needed information, and whc by their votes
showed they preferred darkness to light, Who
made It party question in our own Massachu-
sets House of Representatives Who made
it party question in the legislature Of Ohio of
Maine, and of New York, by voting down reso-
lutions favoring discriminating tariff! Who
have uniformly gone, as party, in solid col
umns, both in Congress and c!sewhere-ves,
unlformiy-in opposition to protection! Who
but the locofoco party and it's leaders! Not
make it a party question! 1, is too late now to
use such language as this You have driven us
into the arena of party strife upon this question
and because the whole country is rising tumul-
tuourly, by unequal efforts it is true, but still
with constantly increasing strength in behalf of
protection, portion of those who have provok-
ed the storm would now beg off from its conse-
quences.
Unhapply for than, TIER own par,izar friends
will not permit them to play this double part
with ease. The Globe m III es no bores of ma
knga party question of the Tariff. 1t has
thrown down the gauntlet, and is calling its le-
gions 10 back it in its unholy war upon The best
interests Of the nation. But we must not take
it up. Oh no We must not make it party
question. We must stand peacea5!e by, and
see the iie-bood Of the country drained, drop by
drop, into the Golfers OF the overarown manuac.
turers of Europ. We must see our own coun-
trymen dependent upon the pauper laborers oil

those very manufactures whose raw material:

chanicS, laborers and operatives ruined ant

prived of their home market, unable TO sell the
produce either al home or abroad. We mus
stand by, and see all these things drawing near
