A NEW PANIC.

N ANG w hlNiO'
The scare-crows Of the Anli-TariH men are
dissipated by experience about as fast as they
can be got up. FIRST the New Tariff was to
destroy our Shipping interest, and all the sal
lors in our port were induced to vote the loco
foco ticket last fall, on the false pretence that
the Wing Tariff had reduced their wages and
stopped their business. Now our shipping is
fully employed and freghts as high as any
reasonable shipper could ask. Then the Tar
i'll was to destroy the Revenue: but that hum
bug has had its day. The present larlli w'n
raise more revenue than that which the wings
found existing when they came into power, and
if the Rerenue Tariff men had not grossly de-
serted their proessed principles by resisting the
imposition Of duty on Tea and Coliee, we
might have paid off the Governments indebi-
etlness in three or four years-'8ut the Farm
enhances the price of the Protected Articles to
the consumer say the Free Traders. We'll,
sirs, you assert this; now prove 1t! Here are
the Prices Current of this year ana former
years; show us where and whai has been the
increase Of price to the consumer You can
not do if The facts show irreSistihly that on
the articles of whirh the Home Production was
efficiently protected bv the New Tariff there
has been an average diminution of price equal
To fifteen or twenty per cent. witness iron
and Hardware, Coal, Cotton and Wooen fab
RIGS, and all other great staples protected by
the Tariff. What prctext is left, then, for as
sailing the Tariff The journal of Commerce
has discovered the last one-it imports that
Foreign Nations cannot pay us for our past
amount of erporiabie Produce under this Tar
if! We like this. The Tariff has turned the
balance of trade largely in our favor, and now
specie by the shiplbad is coming over in pay
ment for our Exports instead of the labrlcs
which we used to buy abroad, but which we
are now making much cheaper at home, and
thereby giving employment to our own Peo-
pie Foreign nations can't pay us, and must
stop buying! Excellent We can buy OF
other nations as easy as when their duties
are 100 per cent. and ours 90 but if we raise
ours to the neighborhood of theirs, they can't
trade with us at all! Our Free Traders can
see clearly that other nations cannot buy unless
they are allowed to sell: but lce can buy
whether we are allowed 10 sell or not !-But
let them be comiored- the case is not without
alienation: In the first place, we need an in
fusion Of specie, especially if we are not to be
allowed any other kind of National Currency:
and i( England and France have as much as is
generally believed, they can spare us some with
benefit TO all parties. Then we o,ce them two
or three hundred millions Of State and Mercan-
tild debts, incurred during the years of our de-
clining Tariff; and they are ready 10 sell the
debt dog cheap, and take Cotton, Pork and
Wheat in payment So there need be no
trouble borrowed about the manner of getting
our pay for while yet. After our currency
shall have been reinforced and our debt cancel
led, there is no doubt that we shall buy of Eu
rope quite as much as we can pay for, even un-
der our present Tariff Tribune.
The TwIHs.-In Berlin some twenty years
ago, two brothers started in business together;
they were small in stature, and slightly built;
rtr hot l.a
people prophesied they would not hold out
long, especially as their place OF business was
in one Of the very worst parts of the town.
The prophecy did not prove true; fortune
smiled upon the two brothers and before ten
years had passed, their house was one of the
largest in the best part of the city and their
business heaviest in Berlin. These brothers
were twins, and strange to say, so like each
other that even their own mother could scarce
distinguish the one from The other 1t so hap
pened that the mother of these Diosculi hired
servant girl, who was so handsome, that
both the brothers fell in love with her. Each
of them made known his sentiments in man
ner not TO he mistaken, and each had the salts
faction to find thai the prudent maid had no
objections to becoming Madame II. Mean
while, the brothers disclosed to each other. and
to their mother, their feelings and wishes; and
as the affair threatened to produce fatal col
llSIOfl, IDSy HHFttu W III pfbptsdl,
that the girl should choose between them. But
the latter on learning their agreement, declared
herself unable to choose, as it was impossible
TO tell one from the other; and even if there
existed corporeal mark Of distinction, still, so
like were the brothers in speech, thought, de-
pertinent and character, that whatever senti-
ment she entertained for the one, she must
have for the other. The result was as follows;
The pretty maid continued 10 live in the house,
was by both brothers treated with attention,
received presents, &c. All the parties, moth
er, brothers, and girl, came to an understand
ing that as soon as one of the brothers should
die, the other shouldmarry their beloved. For
fifteen years and over, the brothers lived to-
gether without the slightest misunderstanding;
and at last, few months since, one Of the
brothers died, at the age of foriy-iwo, and the
survivor is now about to marry the lady.-For-
