Sinking tho Issue.


The Nliaois State Registers Loco-Foco or
gan which has done its full share In dctamlng our
present Tariff and the principles on which it is
based-thus crawfishes on the I'd inst
"7he democrats hare been tie .frn friends Of
The Tariff sYsten--that is, tariff for revenue,
with incidental protection to our manufactures.
Mr. Van Buren,, Col Johnson, Mr. Calhoun, Mr..
Buchanan, Col. Benton, and all our eminent de-
mocrats, are its acknowledged advocates. They
are the enemies ola protective high'pressure Ia
riff, such as the Wings have made--a tariff made
for the benefit ofmanufacturers alone, which robs
every other class of community and enriches
them; such a one as the Wings passed last Con
gress.''
We have all along foresecn that when the day
of trial comes, the Van Buren, section of the Loco
Foco party will endeavor to put their allies off
with big words-not, perhaps, that they hate Pro-
lection less, but that they dread defeat more
They can safely deiame the Tariff at random, but
when asked to put their finger on the clause they
would have altered, they will find themselves in
pcrplexity. There is not prohibitory clause in
it, and the strongest Protection is given by it, not
to Manufactures, as that term is popularity un-
derstood but to the tailors, seamstresses, hatters
shoe-makers, &c. of the country. When Van
Burcnism plainly commits itself to the cutting
down of all these duties TO 20 per cent. al ra!o-
rem-twenty per cent. on paper and the same on
rags-twenty percent. on cloth, wool, hides, hat
stuffs, &c. and the same on hats, boots, shoes,
and rcadv-madc clothing-thcn we'll see.
IL We are confident thatthc insidous attempts
now making to pervcrt the growing sympathy of
Americans for Ireland to the base of interested
partisanshp will fail of their intended effect The
Albany Argus generous soul y considers it g cx-
ceedingly significant that the only papers which
have taken ground against the agitation in this
country, belong to the Wing party" This
assertion is great deal more significant than
the falsehood it atfirnls. The biteres adversary
of the Irish People and their Cause In the country
is the Journal of Commerce, a more thorough
Loco Foco paper than the Argus itself, and fully
us adroit in its advocacy of the doctrines of the
party.
~ The eo-Bcdford Mercury has a severe
cvitcism-in part just in part otherwise-on the
Repeal movements in this Country, in which The
Tribune comes in for its share OF ccnsurc, clos.
As individuals let us deplore the OF Ireland if
will; bat communities, lie; IT'S not agitase questions which
do not concern US
We trust the friends OF Repeal viii bear this
important distinction in mind, and hereafter agi
tate the question as individuals and not as com
7aunities.
