THE PEOPLE AND THE PRESIDENT.

In looking over our exchanges we observe that
many independent presses have come to the concIr-
sion TO support President Tyler, as a candidate for
tHe next PRESIDENTIAL term, aud have placed his name
81 the head OF their papers avowing him as their can
didate, subject only to the decision of the Amer-
can people. This movement has called forth moi
only the ire but the Of party men, and we have
heard utrsiss of both parties declare that even were
the american People in favor Of President TYLER
they could not re-elect him. The wings they saw
have denounced him and the democr ats have taken
up with other candidates, and 4" no party " MAJ
cannot stand against the organized efforts Of powerful
parties They say that President Tyler stands be-
tween Two hres, and that political humiliation must
be the result. Now II is very apparent that polt-
clans have moderated the power OF the people and

THE WORKING OF THE NEW TARIFF.
The new Tariff went into operation on the itb of
August last. Its effect upon the revenue iudgino
from the results of the experiment thus far is no, very
hsttering The entire revenue from customs during
the quarter ending 3lst Dec last inclusive was ony
S3,ll6,370 70, beng considerably less than in the
corresponding quarter Of lsil when the old Tariff
was in foil operation, and the rates of duties reduced
to the lowest grade established by the Compromise
Act until he final reduction to 20 cent Less also
10y bait million, than ia the corresponding quarter
Of 1910. Less, by sls9.l35 81 than in the 3d quar-
ter OF the present year, during iwo-ihirls of which
quarter, the duty article exceeded 20 Der cent
1t IS true, the past few months have been a time of
more than usual depression in business and allowance
ought perhaps TO be made on that account But some
would say the depression ITSELF far as commerce
IS concerned, Is IN great measure owing TO high du.
ties payable IN cash and that with this incubus upon
ITS shoulders, II has nothing else to expect in time 10
come. PROFESSIONALLY, when the rate Of duties is
increased beyond a certain point they produce less
revenue than " they were lower. In regard to many
articles this point has been passed in the present Ia
rlh should the revenue be found insult Gent for the
support OF Government, as il probably will, Congress

MIR. MALLORY remarked that he would have no

the gentleman would modify it. so as TO require re-
spon.e at the next session, instead of this, he would
have no objection 10 it.
Mr.. BURNELL remarked that the facts, when
