THE OPERATION OF THE TARIFF.

We are confident that if the farmers, the
mechanics, and laborers of our country
could see the amount of tax which they
pay, from the proceeds of their labor, on
every article of personal or family use, un-
der this tariff, scarcely a vote would be
given by them to elect the men who advo-
cate the present system. They would be
appalled, 10 see how much, under the tariff,
they paid over the natural price on axes,
scythes, chains, cast-iron, horse-shoes,
nails, spades, shovels, tongs, knives, forks,
pots, kettles, and every article of iron,
steel, brass, copper, and tin. that is neces-
sary In buiiiiag and furnishing house
Sill more so, it they knew how much ad.
diilonal price they pay for coats, pan a.
looms, shirts, funnel, hats, shoes, and hand
kerche,s; a'sp, on shawls, bnnne,s, gloves,
dresses, and other articles worn by fe-
males; on sheets, blankets, counterpaues,
beds, AMI pill rvs. Not even the articles

sugar. SAT-, and pepper cost much more
under the tariff than The natural price. BIT

THE WASHINGTON SPECTATOR.

This excellent paper which we have
heretofore had occasion 10 speak of as one
of the best in the conlederacy, has put up
the name Of Mr.. Calhoun at the head Of
lis columns, as candidate for the Presi-
dency, and advocates his pretensions with
great spirit and ability. 1t will be host
IN his cause, and that Of Southern rights,
and Democratic principles, and we hope
will receive the most liberal support from
his friends. Its course so far is very s,rik-
ing and effective, especially in relation to
the late Virginia Convention, and we re-
greet that we are compelled TO postpone till
next week, several excellent articles mark
ed in it for publication. A subscription
list has been sent TO US by friend, and
may be seen at our Office, where we trust
The friends Of Mr.. Calhoun, will signify by
their signatures, their grateful appreciation
of this new and powerful accession to the
cause Of their iavorte candidate--remem-
bering how much their support Of such
paper in Washington city, must tend to in
crease its means of influence and efficien.

rect and effective mode of securing the

The Major General Of the Armies Of

is proven by the following letter, which is
more full Of abolition heresy than any
thing we have seen from any man from
the South, The fana,ical abolitionist al
the North, viii he delighted with his views
in favor Of the right Of petition for the
abolition Of slavery, and will, doubtless
for The same reason, regret, as deeply

The following beautiful lines, written by
B. F. Butler, Ksq, are extracted from
the Boston Post.
LINES
Suggested by the Musket and Drum taken
at Bennington, and nov hanging in the
Senate Chamber.
Ye trophies Of our fathers might,
Which their firm-hearted vaor won,
Amid the hot-consested fight
OF the red field Of Bennington!
And there ye hang, and there have hung,
While they sleep on the dreamless sleep;
And scribes have penned and bards have
sung
Their daring and devotion deep!
These walls have witnessed oft the strife
OF party, and the hot debl.e,
And here high passions have been rife,
And men have met almost in hate;
Sons of those sires, who erst have stood
Shoulder TO shoulder for the right;
Sires who'ye stakcd their hearts best blood
And given their lives in pa,Tio. fight.
Their sons have here, in hostile mood,
Arrayed against each other been;
The look OF scorn, the mantIing blood,
Have oft, too often, here been seen;
But never, never, may the war
OF party conflicts faint the name
Of these our glorious sires, nor mar
The peerless statue OF ,heir fame.
No! by the blood these sres have poured
On many well Tough, field and height;
By their right arms that raised the sword
OF freedom for our coun,ry's right;
By these proud trophies of their fame.
Wen cherish deep their deathless name,
And guard the freedom W hich they won.
