THE TARIFF.

,ve ,boro,otly agree with the New York Evening
Post that "Wnen the Southern Democrats ask OF thf
Northern that they should assist IN undoing what oil
most every Democrat admitted when the new Tart

very reasonable and hat they have Alright 10 demand

TO immediate and conclusive action on the subject
We know not Whit the Van Buren, men $50 called wi

they will grossly miscpresen his views and wish

sure both the principle and the dtaIS of the law. In
this come on lay the following article from the

and in our next, we shall lay before hem the correa
tive statements of the January No. of the "Democratc
Review:

Bucn on Tho Tariff supposed fecrtad the proceed
ings State Convention nj New York Syr
ci.e September last, we copy much of them Wa pub
,i;led in the Alabama Beacon of the a September, with the
comments Of the Editor of that pint Monitor.
sNr Van Burens Ind lana letter is better index to
his Tariff opinions, than the Tariff resolutions OF the
Syracuse Convention. He says therein:
sTa protection arising from Tariff al
;hc e:i- alive which day he Conferred upon
m .nufacturer without great injustice ooher incTc.t-.
" incidental protection follows, necessary coGse
ouence upon thrift taxation; and Mr.. Van Buren,,
therefore, recognises discrimination beiom The mari
mum rate Of duties upon imported articles the only
Just and equitable system. Where facts of such
easy access, those TO winch have referred, il
savors of csvlrng 10 any thing else. This, OF
course we do not expect from The Monitor. But the
comments Of the Editor Of the Beacon, condemnato
ry of The Syracuse resolution, introduced we
are pleased to find they highly priced. Even
The Globes comments, and The Richmond Enquirer
comments passed by to make room fer the Bea
cons.
"I'he Monitor is not, perhaps, aware that the Jour
nails first named, have both condemned the peculiar
feature The Syracuse Tariff resolutions, TO which 1t
refers; and lpasmuch as ii may prefer The higher au
thorty, we deem il proper thus 10 advise it.
