These two brief paragraphs furnish conlusve an
swer TO the clamor raised by the Loco Foco press
against the present Tariff In anticipation Of the adop
ton of thisgreat by the Wing Congr ess, the
Country was flooded in ls4I with foreign fabrics. OF
course Tor year after the Tariff went into
operation the imports comparatively small, and
the receipts from the Customs greatly diminished
Yet this result which had been foreseen and predict
ed by the friends Of the Tariff, was seized upon by
the enemies OF that measure proof conclusive that
it would drain the country Of its specie, and deprive
the General Government OF its most lucrative source
OF revenue.-And for much Of that period these pa
pers could point to diminished customs and increased
exports ofspecie in support Of their assertions
But the tide has finally turned. The unusual a
mount of European manufactures with which our mar
kets were glutted in ls4l, has been gradually
sumed.-Demand begins to revive and with the
newal of demand comes renewal of supplies. Our

The tariff of ls4l is length 'n full operation,
and instead of running commerce and draining
US of our specie, predicted by the advocates Of
British Free Trade, it is imparting healthy stmu-
ous to the business fhe country, adding largely and
steadily to our supply of the precious metals, and
laying broad and deep the foundation of the National
prosperity and glory And yet these great measures

TUNE, n Reformed Melody
Awake, awake, and take the pledge,
Without fear or doubt;
Twill weave around your heart hedge,
TO keep the demon out;
Twill wake thrill of heavenly joy
In her who weeps at home;
And laughing girl and prattling boy
Will smile to SEQ you come.
o. take the pledge, and break the cup
That poisons all the land
Twill sweetly come and raise you up,
Where honor waves her hand,
Twill wipe contempt and scorn away,
Which all that knew ye bore.
Till ye become beloved as they,
And ye are brutes no more.
o. take the pledge, poor trembling sot
Dash down the poisonous wave!
Ye see the dreadful path ye've got,
To travel to the grave.
Come joyful up; there's hope, there's bliss,
And blessings yet in store,
Fen IN checkered world like this,
If ye will drink no more.
o, take the pledge, all we that think
OF moderate cups to day!
For yo may win the sot from drink
If ye but lead the way.
Twill be a sweet and thrilling thought,
AS on through life you go,
That one poor wretch was timely caught.
And snatched from shame and wo.
O. take the pledge, al we that sell
This poison Of the soul!
What good yen do no tongue can tell
BY dashng down the bowl.
The drunkard's wife, with tears of joy,
Will bless you morn and even;
And lovely girl and happy boy
win lisp your rame to Heaven.
o. take the pledge, both old and young
The resolution seal!
1t would require an angels tongue
To tell the joy yen feel.
Your heart will then the deed approve,
Though grovellng sense should frown;
And God himself would bend in love,
And send u blessing down.
