GEN. DUFF GREEN

This gentleman, 50 long known the Editor of the u.
; Telegraph and for his opinions on the subject
OF Political Economy, and particularly st for his en-
thusastic attachment the chimerical doctrines of Free
Trade, has lately returned from long visit OF observation 10
England.
He addresses the public in late No. of the Madisonan OF
Washington, and allcdges that the British Government is
now disposed to extend great advantages T. States in
the way Of trade conditioned that such notifications will be
made in Tariff admit British manufactures on easy
terms.
Gen. Green says;
Indeed, was authorized BY Lord Aberdeen himself 10
say that his desire to place the commercial
iauons Of the two countries terms Of TseipToeitv and
am persuaded that treaty may be made providing for the
admission OF cotton, ricc and Indian corn into England
and her dependencies, at nominal duty or duty free and
that the trade in lumber and provisions and all our surplus
products, may be placed the footing the like
products OF her colonies; the same time that our nayga
ton may obtain concessions less important And that
for granting these uvors, England will ask Of us no more
than that our tariff shall be modified TO her manufac-
lures charge thereon higher rate Of duty than
indispensable TO provide for economical administration of
our Government
To this the Baltimore American iudicously replies as
follows:
There is doubt that the enactment of our tariff has
awakened the British Government to Of the fact
that it, restrictive might be returned with effect by
countries that had for considerable period Welded e. their
unequal operation. How happened il that no mention OF
RECIPROCITY occurred when receiving British manu-
features allow dues If the free importation party in this
country should prevail ia England can get the advan
responding favors. But let the language Of British states

"Mr. Buchanan is fairly before the country a.

with claims inferior other candidate He comes be-

"For all this, Pennsylvania will be thrust aside by the

party here, the movements favor of Col Johnson and
Governor Cas-, all intended beGet Mr.. Van Buren,
by dividing the party and thus preventing the appearance
Of Mr. Buchanan before the Convention with the full sup

managers. The tactics OF the New YORK School have
been long the theme Of remark and Of species OF dread
OF being oyeueaehed, in their opponents-Dyided the
