TIE LAW SCHOOL AT CAMBRIDGE
The Catalogue of Harvard University for
this year contains the names Of one hundred
and twenty persons in the Law School,
This, we presume, is the largest body ever
gathered together in our country for the
study of the law. A large number came
from distant parts of the Union and there
are graduates of nearly all the Colleges of
the country. Yale College alone has sent
twelve other Colleges have smaller num-
bers. We observe the names Of students
from Alabama, South Carolina, Ohio, and
Louisiana. II is in conformity with the de
sires of the distinguished Professors. that
the Law School is not regarded as local
institution teaching the law of particular
State, but as national in its character, and
dedicated 10 those great rules and principles
Of jurisdiction, which are Of equal authority
in each and all oil the States. Some Of The
technicalties of pleading may fail 10 practi-

State.
1t will be interesting 10 our readers TO
know that the Judge and professor has been
restored to his former health, so that he has
been enabled TO resume his arduous labors,
both on the bench and in the lecture room.
His lectures which are the source Of so
much agreeable instruction 10 the students
Of the law school, attract the attention Of
most strangers of distinction who visit Bos.

America Vespucci.--We have met the
following paragraph in many of our recent
exchanges:
"The Countess Vespucci, who was recei-
we'd into the best families here as a virtuous
woman, and asked grant of land of Con.
gress, is represented in Noah's Weekly
Messenger TO be now living in a state of
most immoral intimacy, at Ogdensburgh,
N. Y, with nephew of Van Rensselaer,,
son Of the late PATRON of Albany. He has
built huge wall around his place to keep
out prying visitors"
We should scarcely take the trouble TO
correct the error, but for the injustice done
to Mr.. Van Rensselaer,, who is most wor.

the Countess America Vespucci lives at
Ogdensburgh. is Mr.. Parish, foreigner

this connection implies. 1t was commen>

Free Trade theories, seems to us about as
conclusive as anything well could be.
From The Nep York Courier.
Mr.. EDIToR.-Those wise and sagacious
free trade advocates, the Editors of the
Journal Of Commerce had an editorial yes

the Tariff" IN which after telling all about
the way in which the law was fixed impO-
sing duty of 10 cents per pound on the ar
ucle, they wind up by saying land now
every woman who buys brass kettle pays
one dollar for every 16 pounds 10 our friend
(the manufacturer Just as really and truly
as if his collector were authorised TO call
upon her for it." As we are interested IN
the manufacture and sale of the article, we
beg leave to state what is no secret to those
at all acquainted with the subject, that Brass
Kettles of American manufacture OF equal
quality to any ever imported, are now sell
ling at the same price that English were
sold at before the last Tariff went into ope>
ration, and that the only effect of the pro-
lection Of IL cents per pound IS to secure
to our country branch of manufac.
lures which would otherwise be entirely
monopoIized by foreigners. So much for
Brass Kettles and the Tariff. Truly yours.

Mr.. CLAY AND THE TARIFF.
From the Nep Yoyk Tribune.

As the chief ground of Loco Foco assault
on our present moderate, wisely adjusted
and efficient Wing Tarlff-efIicient equal>
ly for Revenue and Pfotection-is the vo.
ciferous assertion that it is a high Tariff,
prohibitory and Exclusively Protective Tar
if, the Wings Of the South have been cs-
Pecsally compelled TO bear the odium Of
sustaining such Tariff or to Sissipate the
misrepresentation industriouslv dissemina-
ted by its enemies. The latter they have
done by showing repeatedly that tho Tariff
is not nearly so high as that of 1923. which
was cOncocted by Silas Wright, voted for
by Martin Van Buren, Il Co., and claimed
as Jackson Tariff. But the Loco-FocoS
of the Planting States, as here, insist that
the Wings are in favor of much higher, e.
ven ProhibitoIy, duties
Thereupon, the Editor of the Herald, a
Wing paper Just established at La Grange
Ca, appealed to Mr.. Clay for his views on
the subject, to which he responded as below,
showing that Ire IS in favor of sustaining the
present Tariff and that so far from con-
templating higher and higher Duties, he
believes the continual and rapid progress of
our Manufactures tends ever 10 diminish
instead of increasing the necessity for deci-
ded Protective Duties. Such is doub tEezs.

in the debate in the Senate of the United

contended that American labor was to high;
that it must be reduced, and that 10 cents
day was enough for laborer. Nor was

of labor must be reduced.
