TIE PROPOSED TARIFF TREATY.
What occasion there is for this country 10 enter INTO
"entangling alliances with Great Britain or any other
nation, upon the subject of the internal regulations OF
this country, dlicllt to conceive That great dan
ger of controversies aud collisions which might end IN
strife, would arise from such system Tor hxng the
Tariff duties Of this country apparent, and, unless
some great benefit would result theretron more IMAM
sufficient 10 concordance the evil and not capable OF
attainment IN any other way, 1t would certainly De
wiser still to pursue the cautious policy recommended
for our nation BY Washington, "not to entangle our
peace and prosperity in the tolls OF European ambition,
rivalship, interest, humor or caprice.
That great benefit might result 10 this country ana
especially TO its agricultural interests from the admis-
sion Of It's various products, and particularly lis bread
stus, into England at low rote OF duty, no one Will
deny But can this be brought ubou. By voluntary ar
raneement' viii the British Government ever, OF
their accord concede this in retntn for arg favor
that this country might or could grant them: we say
no. for the landed ueres, the all powerful interest oil

1t is only by sheer necessity, then, that England will
ever adopt a policy antagonist to her present Corn
Laws and we fully believe that necessity wall come.
Butt is the part of wisdom to await the event. 10 bde
the time when that necessity, like an overwhelming
food, shall sweep away the whole Corn Law System,
and sap the foundation Of many other time honored
abuses and then avail ourselves OF its advan-
tages. 1t is most unwise 10 go forward at this tme
when the necessity is daily and hourly becoming
nearer and proiier terms The part of this country
which may, indeed, avert that necessity and
be productive of benefit to u.s. but which will, in
the very nature of things, give much less advantage
than shall reap from the unchecked working Of the
present state of affairs. The Tory Ministers The
impending storm, and they hold GU, the white flag OF
