A few days revealed the mystery: and 1t appear
ed that few housing politicians IN The Cham
Der, anxious to make political capital out OF the
reputation and authority of that body had secret
" got up Free Trade ticket and carefully con-
ceaing their designs from the majority of the
members, had succeeded By deXterous move
rnent IN electing their candidates. Under these
circumstances the officers elect, as might have
been expected, with single exception, resigned
their places. new Election was Immediately
held and the old Boord Uas nj oace rcinstated.
Thus foiled in their first attempt the ntriguers
resorted to another trick whereby they hoped TO
effect their design. A circular prepared an
nouncing that the opposition to the reelection Of
the officers had been withdrawn-bccausc 1t was
ascertaincd that personal considerations would
enter into the canvass. But for the purpose OF
procuring vote Of the Chamber upon the question
OF a Protective Tariff, they had resolved upon
submitting to the Chamber at lis meeting on
Tuesday, the 9th inst, the following resolutions:
ResDued That in the opinion of this Chamber the power
Of TAXATION vested IN Congress for thu purpose Of raising
revenue, and for no other purpose wha,soerer
ReSooed That whereas would beilicgal aud Outrageous
full business and occupation and less and be-
sides, fraudulent and dangerous nscPaton Effect th4
came purpose by suppressiye prohbitory duties.
ReSoieed That whereas all protective duties are,

rhChamber is decidedly opposed to Protection pnci
pie while II fully acquesc~ III the necessity OF Tamil for
revenue and of mach suppression and protection
voIdably results from sIch raIh.
Res0iUed That whereas the interests which this
Chamber is appointed 10 watch the which under
Protective Tariff. singled suffer it especial
duty to protest most energetca against any injury done as
wantonly and unnecessary, aud without demanding that

Of the State have clear right demand that it should
be made 10 bear more.
This circuar-a!though dated June Cd was
not distributed until Monday the 5tE--the day be-
fore the meeting was to be held. The consplra-
tors thus hoped to take the Chamber by surprise,
and cheat them into Free Trade vote; but in
this, too, they were disappointed AT the open
ing of the meeting yesterday, Mr.. JONATHAN
GoopHuE offered the resolutions and moved their
adoption A motion was Immediately made 10
Ian them upon the table and it was carried by
a decided majority. What will be the next ma
neuvrc of the clique to obtain Free Trade vote
remains to be seen. Beyond all doubt they will
continue their praiseworthy efforts in the same
praseworthy manner; but we apprehend they
will scarcely again obtain even the temporary sue
cess which seemed to crown their first attempt
u, There seems TO be general desire for
Silk Convention in this city, during the Sixteenth
Annual Fair Of the American Institute early in
October next. Many new and most encouraging
facts in relation to the Silk Culture, made known
by the experiments of the last year, would then
be developed and brought before the public. Our
climate, without a doubt, is better than the eli
mate of the most genial portions OF Europe for
the health and perfection OF the Silk-Worm. The
policy of buying twenty-five millions of dollars
worth of Silk of foreign countries is suicidal. y
glance at our Treasury Reports will show that
over twenty-five millions of dollars value has been
imported in single year. The check which our
late and most wholesome Tariff has given 10 the
1noney.changing Frenchmen, who were, under
the former Tariff, collecting the hard dollars
every day to send home, has of Itself given
face to the money affairs of this whole nation
This is one of the reasons why the Government 8
per cent. loan which, few days since, went
begging at par, and which was repudia,ed in
England, is now bringing ll6 per cent, as may
be seen by looking at the daily sales of Stock
Suppose the people OF the United States were
now to be called upon for a sum which would
make this years importations of silk equa! 10
twenty-five millions 1t would check al once
the circulation of money throughout, the country
Our people should not be deluced by propositions
for commercial treaties The ludicrous folly of
making England great market for Indian Corn
should be secuted.
