/ As to Revenue and Protection, his Is narrow
mind who can bring them into collision we
would have Tariff which secures enough ffo-
lection and enough Revenue, as the present SUD-
stantialv does. We would have sufficient duties
on foreign articles which rival the products OF our
own Industry to protect the latter from depressing
rivalry: and we would then lay such duties on
other articles-Teas, Wines. Coffee, Spices, &c.
sc. to make up the required amount of Revenue.
Thus both ends would be completely answered.
| The commencement at Brown University,
We learn from the Providence Journal that the
annual literary celebrations Of the University and
it's Societies were held on Tuesday and Wednes-
dav of that week and from the extended report
of them which appears in that paper we Judge
that they must have possessed deep and most
pleasing interest. Indeed, the accounts which
reach Us from all the College Commandments
throughout the country indicate more general
and ardent literary enthusiasm than has usually
been exhibited The addresses delivered before
the Societies seem to have had closer connec-
ton with the Intellectual lie Of the present age,
and to have been marked by higher ability and
more earnest tone than have been manifested
heretofore. The anniversary OF the Alumni OF
Brown University was held on Tuesday. The
Grafton was delivered by Hon. Judge PiTMAS,
and had special reference to the History OF inc
University with which the association was con-
nected. The Journa! speaks of It IN the highest
terms and it seems to have been received with
marked applause. 1t embraced sketches OF some
Of the most distinguished graduates, and enforced
eloquently and earnestly, the peculiar duties OF
educated men to the state and times IN which
they live. After the Grafton, the Alumni had a
dinner at Commons Hall, at which toasts were
given and capital speeches made. The venera-
BILE and distinguished Trisram Burgess presided
and made brief and effective address. VIM
Wilkinson, Esq. the Oldest graduate present, 1t
being the SEVENTEEN anniversary since he gradu-
atcd, also made some very interesting remarks
Among the other guests who responded effective
! ly and happily to toasts were Hon. Asher Rob
bins. President Maryland, VIM. L. Stone, Rev.
Mr.. Hall, Hon. ]. L. Tilinghast, Rufus Coffin,
ESQ. r. NJ Burgess, the Mayor Of Providence,
and several others. In the afternoon of Tuesday
Benz. f. Thomas, ESQ. of Worcester delivered
an address before the Literary Societies upon
"the causes Of the prevalent neglect OF spiritual
culture" A Poem was also delivered on the same
occasion by Thomas A. Jenckes, Esq. of Provi-
dence.
On Wednesday the exercise Of the graduating
class were attended Orations were delivered by
fourteen young gentlemen, and the premiums
founded by Rev. Henry Jackson of New Bed
ford, and the late Hon. Nicholas Brown were
awarded by President Wayland. The first degree
was then conferred upon 90 graduates, and that
of Master fArts upon eighteen gentlemen. The
honorary degree of Doctor OF Laws was conferred
upon Hon. john PITa1AN, U. S. District Judge
for Rhode Island, and on the Hon. EZEKIEL
WHITMAN Chief Justice of the Supreme Court OF
Mane-boh graduates of the University In
the afternoon Hon. JOE DURFEE, Chief Justice OF
the Supreme Court of Rhode Island, delivered an
address before the R. !. Alpha Of the Phi Beta
Kappa, upon the Influence OF Scientific disco
very on Social Progress 1t is SAID to have been
a performance of great ability. Like that OF
Judge PIrMAN, it touched upon political matters
and was very decided in opposition to the radical
movements that have 50 recently disturbed that
State. The University is said to be IN very
iourishing condition. The library already num-
bers about 10000 volumes, there IS fund OF
$4,000 devoted to its increase, and the phlloso
phical apparatus is very good

These facts are stated by the Boston Post by
way we suppose, of proving the prophecies, in
which that print once delighted to indulge, of the
prostration and utter ruin which the odious
black Tariff" would inevitably bring upon all the
business and industry of the country. Yet Re.

which Loco Focoism itself is forced to acknow-
led-is the watchword with which this party 90

every friend Of American Industry, Is ready to
meet them there

anxiety to find fault with US makes itself very
