The Manufacturers and their Friends.
Our citizens engaged in Manufacturing must
be cutie overwhelmed with the goodness OF the
Loco.Foco party in saving them ftom the rum
on which they were rushing. That party, with
that keenness Of Economical foresight for which
it is distinguished, perceived that the Iron and
Cloth men would certainly ruin themselves under
a Protective Tariff; SO they have elected Polk
and ditto Congress to break down the Tariff
and save the Manufacturers from the destruc-
ton into the jaws Of which they we're bent on
rushing Can they ever be sufficiently grateful
for this unmerited kindness
These novel and sclf-created protectors of the
spindle and trp-hammer are willing to sacrifice
even their consistency TO their bensyolence. Be
fore the Election, they made the People stand
aghast at their computations of the enormous
end augmenting profits of Manufactures-the
exorbi.an. prices and profits secured to the
makers of Hardware, Sheetings. Calicoss and
Cassimeres by our Protective Tariff. These
prices and profits were represented as inevitable
results Of Protection. So argued Silas Wright
in his Watertown Speech TO the Farmers.
1t was in vain that we urged the impossibility Of
maintaining higher rate of profit in any busi
ness than that realized by Business generally
no matter If the duties were FIVE per cent. on
some articles and five hundred on Others Mr..
Wright had assumed that if any branch of busi-
ness were protected by duty of forty per cent.
while another enjoyed no Protection, then the
former ought to pay forty per cent. more for ma
terials and labor or it could not fail to realize
forty per cent. extra profit But since the Elec-
ton, the admiring retailers Of this very logic are
contending that these highly protected Manu-
facturers would have been ruined by their own
mutual competitien-that IS, by excessive pro.
duction, inordinate)y low prices and less than
no profits at all, if the Tariff had been allowed
to stand as it is, and Foreign competition been
entirely excluded. Is it not easy to perceive
where the truth lies between these antagonist
falsehoods7
Blu. now that it is settled that the Tariff is to
be cut down-for the Polk journals that were
shyest on this point bafore the Election are now
eager in the cry for lower Tariffs it not
little unreasonable in these friends of the Manu-
facturer to abuse him because he hesitates anG
concludes to wait little before he invests more
capital in building and furnishing foundries and
factories? Lovers are known 10 be often unrea-
sonable in their jealousies and faultfndings but
is not this too palpably irrational? The Loco,
Foco portion of the South is demanding and
confidently expecting the complete overthrow Of
every Protective feature of the Tariff; the gene
raj sentiment Of the Jacobinism Of the North re-
sponds to the demand. Who can foretell, or
even imagine, what the next Congress will do
with the Tariff Is it not the clearest dictate |
of prudence to wait until some indication is
afforded before building more factories Does
the experienced mariner put to sea when the
sampest is brooding and lowering
And yet we see in the Loco-Focn journals all
around us, even in those, like the Albany Argus,
which were not wont TO play the part of incen-
diaries, the most atrocious attempts to excite the
more ignorant against the Manufacturers on the
allegation that they are discharging their Loco.
Foco ,rorkmen on account Of their politics. Ii
s a lie-a miserable, wicked, hagitious lie. Oh
Half Million Loco. Focos for the last year en-
,loyed and paid by Wings, there have not been
fifty discharged on account of their politics-not
half go many as are the Wings deprived of their
means of securing livelihood by John Tyler,
,olely on account of their politics, and in obe-
iience to LEGO Foco petitions. A dozen times
have we traced up stories that this OR that Loco
Foco had been discharged on account of his po- |
litics, and in every instance the charge has |
proved an uniounded calumny. Made Cautious |
by repeated exposures, the calumniators now |
rarely venture TO specify at all
When Manufacturer, of whatever politics, |
is compelled by the effect of the Loco Foco tn
uuiph 10 reduce the number of his workmen, we
think he ought clearly to retain tho Wings to
the last. 1t seems to us their undoubted right
The Loco Focos won their victory expressly on
the ground OF vulgar hatred to Manufactures

It was warmly responded to by sympathizing
crowd. Mr.. John lie oyard, q Loco. Foco leader,

NORTH RvER.-The steamer Rochester, which
arrived a, s. yesterday morning. left Albany at 10
O'Clock A. NJ. Of the previous day. The River op.
posite Albany was much obs,ructed by hsaing ice.
1t was with difficulty that the r. made her way
through until she arrived at the Overslaugh, where
she was detained until P. M. when she succeeded
in getting over, and arrived Coxsackie al clock
P. NJ. She was again detained by snow-storm
until near IL o'clock. The snow having fallen some
10 or u inches deep, is considered that the nav
CATION al Albany must be closed.
