Virginia and Pennsylvania, for example, have
almost always gone together in the election of
Presidents, but have always separated when
they came to vote upon tariffs.
Pennsylvania is Democratic, but always
votes for high tariff, because she has impor-
tant interests connected with it.
New Jersey is nearly balanced State poll
tically, but it is always high tariff State, let
whichever party be in the ascendent.
Louisiana always goes for high duty on su-
gar and molusses, and New York always goes
for high duty on salt. Interest controls them,
and not party politics.
The truth of the matter is, that the tariff
question is not, never has been, and never can
be, party question. 1t isa question of sec
tionai interests, which overridcs everything
else
1t is in this, the plain and obviously correct
view of TIE matter. that we mean to discuss it
keep in view those general principles of justice
which should govern everywhere, but it is moi

New York Charter Elections.

The Town Elections which have re-
Gently been held throughout the State
Of New York, have resulted in favor oi
the Wings in large majority of the
counties, affording the best proof that a
thorough change of political sentimen,
has taken place, and that Martin Van
Buren cannot hope for the vote Of even
his own State at the next Presidential
Election. Even his own county went
strongly against him. If we are not
much mistaken, he will be beaten in
New York by larger majority next
fall than he was in the fall Of l34O-anJ
that was bad enough.
The annual charter election for the
city Of New York, took place yesterday
There are three sets Of candidates for
Mayor, Aldermen, &c. The new par
ty, called the American Republicans, is
composed Of mon from both the old po-
lItical parties, whose object is, if posi-
BILE, to reform the city government, and
prevent foreigners from holding all the
best and most responsible Offices. A
reform in that respect is undoubtedly
very much wanted in the city of New
York.
