A New Panic.

our Shipping interest, and ali the Sailors in our
port were induced to vote the Loco-Foco ticket
las, all on the false presence tina, the Wing Tariff
had reduced theif wages and stopped their bust
ness. Now Shipping is fully employed, and
Freights as high as any reasonable shipper could
ask.-Tnen the Tariff was to destroy the Revenue,
bat that hlmbug has had It's day. The present
Wings found exciting when they came into power
and if the Reuenue Tariff men had not grossly de-
serted their protested principles by resisting the
imposition Of duty on Tea and Coffee, mil ht
have paid off the Governments Indebtedness IN
three or four years But the Tariff enhances the
price of the Projected Articles tc TIE consumer,
say the Free Traders. WeR sirs, you assert this;
now props il! Here are the Prices Current Of
this year and former years; show US scbere and
,rhGt has been the increase Of price to the consum
er! You cannot do it The facts show irresist
bly, that on the articles o; which the Home Pro-
duciion was efficiently protected by the New Tariff
there has been average asminnt'on OF price
equal to fifteen Or twenty per cent. Witness Iron
and Hardware, Coal Cotton and Wooden fabrics,
and all other great staples protected by the lert
What pretext is left, then, for assailiRg the Tariff
The Journal of Commerce has discovered the last
one-lt imports that Foreign Nations cannot pay
for our east amount Of exporta5le Produce
Under this Tariff, We like this The Tariff
has turned the balance of trade largely in favor,
and now Specie by the shpoad is coming over in
payment for our Exports instead of the fabrics
which we used to buy abroad, but which we are now
making much cheaper a, heme, and thereby giving
EN- ployment to our own People. Foreign nations
CAM pay US, and must stop buying Excellent
we can buy of other Nations cesy a. not when
their duties are 100 per cent. and ours 90, but if
we raise ours to the neighborhood Of theirs, they
can t trade with us at ALL Our Free Traders can
see clearly that other nations cannot buy unless
they are allowed to sell; but ~e can buy whether
allowed to sell or not!-But let them be
comforted-the case is not without alienation:
In the first place, we need an infusion of Specie,
especially if we are not to be allowed any other
kind Of National Currency; and if England and
France have as much as is generally believed they
can spare us some with benefit to all parties. Then
we ore them Two or Three Hundred Millions of
State and Mercantile debts, incurred during the
years of our declining Earif'g and they are ready
to sell the debt dog cheap, and take Cotton Pork
and Wheat in payment So there need be no
trouble borrowed about the manner OF getting our
pay for while yet. After our Currency shall have
been reinforced and our Debt Cancelled, there is no
doubt that we shall buy of Europe quite as much
as we can pay for, even under our present Tariff.
HACKS AND CABs.-If any man Of enterprise
and means would go into the Cab business and
prosecute it on terms Of advantage to the public,
we feel confident that ne would lay tAe foundation
of fortune. At this moment, while the Omn
busee of New-York as cheap as those of any
other City-as cheap as could be asked-our cur
rem, rates of Hack and Cab fare are ezorbitantly
unreasonably high. At Boston, Providence, Phil
adelphia or Washiugt you are conveycdia good
two-hcrse carriage any distance within the City
Limits for quarter of dollar; in Providence from
the Railroad depot to any part Of the City, or at
least two miles in Washington eftea full that dis
lance while here the charge is half dollar fer
conve vance to or from Standardization less than
helf mile. This charge is not merely oppressive
to the treveler--it is runous to its shor,-sghted
exacters. In these hard tises, ten take valise in
hand or hire boy for a shilling to carry trunk
and walk up TO Howards's or the Aston, where one
pays the half dollar. We are sure that regular,
uniform charge of Is cents for any distance less
than mile would be far better for the Cabrnen
than the present unwise rate. For short time, it
rnght not be; but soon people would return to the
habit of riding who now uniformly 60 afoot, and
the of public carriages would ge, four quar-
ters where they How getone half. But if they will
not consult the public interest and their own some
en,erprising citizen who will procure hall dozen
cabs, attend the steamboats,, and let the people
know where carriage may be had for twenty-five
cents mile, will do the public service and Sc
cure himself rich remuneration.

made no effort, and Hubbard's reelection is al
