MR.. VAN buren, AND THE TARIFF.

Having heard some doubt expressed as to Mr..
Van Buren's support of the Tariff Of 1924, with
ouf snstrtsetions, we have taken the trouble to
look back little into the history Of that era, and
find Mr.. v. b. declared that sat that time he had
the honor of sea. in the Senate of the United
states, and had giren The tariff Of thai year decid-
ed support" Speaking of the application Of the
Woollen Manufacturers for further protection Tin
1850 Mr.. Van Buren, said that 'upon the best
rejection he had been able to give to the subject,
ne Thought heir application founded in justice, and
ne iods ready TO sustai" oil proper measures for their
rsGec"
This was said in his Albany Speech in 1897.
at meeting to appoint delegates to the Harris
burg IariT Convention, which assembled in the
course Of that year. At page l6 Of this speech,
commonly called the "!Sheep Speech" we find the
following memorable and characteristic passage.
Mr.. Van Buren, said:- -
''He owed many thanks to the meeting for the
very kind attention with which he had been lis
tened to by gentlemen, between many of whom
and himself there had, upon public matters, been
differences OF opinion of long standing. His sit
uation In reference to the wool growing in.eres.
was well known to most of them. He had at
present invested more than $4,000 i'm SHEEP,
and farms devoted, and which he meant to devo
TO- that business. He felt all proper concern for
M: own interest. and would of course, cheerfully
unite In all suitable measures for its advantage.
"Whilst he would not feel himself at liberty TO
withhold his aid from the support of great and
saintary public measure, because he might be in
dividually benefited by its adoption he would
forever despisc himself if he could be found ca
pabe OF availing himself of his official station TO
secure his own advantage at the unjust expense
OF others.''
In Mr.. Van Buren's Indiana letter, he express
~ states that determination for the encourage
ment Of home industry, has been the settled pol
ICY OF the country" and his friends at the Syra-
~use Convention have declared for s.such Tariff
Tor Revenue as will give encouragement to Amer
lean labor in agriculture, commerce, and manu-
factures." His letter to Mr.. Richie, denouncinp
the Tariff of 1912, sin principle and in DETAIL"
may, therefore, be considered mere CANNON for

The Washington correspondent of the Boston

ton. observes
IL has been said, and / fear with too much
truth, that this question of war on account Of
Oregon, is political movement to advance the
interests of Mr. Van Buren, and Mr.. Benton. II
Is only necessary to expose this fact to the public
gaze TO make the attempt recoil with oyerwhem.
ing force upon the heads of its authors. 1t is
worthy OF remark, that the members of Congress
most furious on this Oregon question, and who
seem ready to plunge the country into war with
England. on point of honor, and who express
high disdain of counting the cost-of mere dollars
and cents, belong TO the Bankrupt States.

The trial Of O'Connell was progressing, but it
appeared to be the general Impression that il

combat.
MIR. O'Connell was to commence his speech on
Monday, the 9Th. His statement, it was said,
would be much more OF a political, personal and
historical character than an argument on the law
OF conspiracy, or commentary upon the evil
dence.

gents for the naversers had determined not to ex-
anime single one Of the many witnesses now in
town, summoned up from all parts of the country,
and including Roman Catholic Bishops, members
of Parliament, and ex-mag istrates. The cause
assigned for this arrangement was, that the case
of the defendants was already so triumphant "a
one, that defensive evidence had become wholly
unnecessary.
