Effects of the Tariff.


The New York Tribune, speaking of the pre-
sent tariff and its effects on the working classes,
says: ~
sit does not require remuch foresight to see that
there is storm ahead. We can see the clouds
of commercial adyersity in the distance-ihe on
ly question is as TO the time, when we shall be
overwhelmed in the ruin consequent upon our
prediction. There are now in progress OF erec-
ton in this region Pittsburgh twentysix new
furnaces; all of these will be completed during
The summer, Comment on this is useless. The
result will be the prostraiion of this business
the ruin of capitalists and laborers. The cotton
business is being overdonc too; so is the glass
business; so indeed is every branch upon which
working men depend or support, What is to
become Of the thousands who nolU live from hand
to mouth, God only knows There may be no
d0ahs from starvation, but crime of every kind
will increase TO a fearful extent.
This has been over and over again anticipated
by the opponents of a hot bed system of manu-
faclures or any other business Nor are the ev-
depces of their foresight confined to Pittsburgh,
We have heard of EXTENSIVE failures in domestic
manufactures, the apparent prosperity OF which
has been for a long time hailed as blessed fruit
of our most excellent tariff. 1t got protection
from foreign paupers, and now wants protection
from itself; domestic protection competition has
swamped those who were ured into the business
by the flattering bait Of government bounties, A
few men in such cases those who get the law
passed. generally manage to feather their nest,
but "what is to become of the thousands God on
ly knows" How many such lessons are 10 be
taught us beiorqa learn that nothing can be
gained by tinker4 the la,rs Of nature, 81 was
wel-wanted to be better-took government
physic, and here | am" is an epitaph fitted for
the wreck of many naturally healthy trades
But if all this over-producton with its disastrous
is taking place in spite Of Folks
election, which wo were told had checked and
depressed everything, what might we not have
expected from Clay's success, when men were
only waiting for it to rush headlong into every
species Of extravagant speculation?
That it has bad effect on the farmer, mechan-
ic, Iaborer, and in fact every branch Of industry
no one can doubt who has observed it, The
eastern nabob who ''lealhers his own nest" is the
only one benefited by it. This is what the de-
mocrats always said would be its effect, but when
the Tribune, the head and front of whiggery,
found it out we are at loss TO determine.-
When the effects the Tribune predicts are reali.
zcd, we will probably hear that the wings were
always opposed TO it.

Copper,

Several of the Pittsburgh company of copper
miners returned through this city yesterday, from
their operations at Copper Harbor. They say
there is world of copper there, and fortunes
are to be made at The mining business, but think
that fortunes are TO be lost as well as won.
The Boston company are doing thelargest
business and at the best profits. They have
sunk shaft about twenty feet into very rich
vein, and find the mineral better as they 90 deep
er This company are erecting works forsmelt-
ing, and will soon be shipping the metal in pigs
and bars.
The ore yields about rs per cent, 60 pei
cent. better than the English mines which 50
long have supplied The world. The copper re.
gion seems to be very extensive. We saw spe.
cirnen of the native ore found in mountain lake
many miles from Copper Harbor; showing tlia
the whole mountain range is probably infected
with the mineral.--Clepe. Plain y dlsr, Sep. g

G57A correspondent OF the Union says the
statement of the Chicago Democrat concerning
the military preparations of the British at Pene-
tangushine, is substantially correct, and makes
the following statement concerning the entire
inadequacy Of the military works Of Mackinaw
to the defence Of that important frontier;
"Between Peneiangushine and Green Bay,
and also Milwaukee, Lntlefort, Chicago, Mich-
gan City, ST. Joseph, and the other towns OH Lake
Michigan, there is but single American fort,
and that is Mackinac. This fort fell before the
news Of the last war had reached il. Every Of
icer that commanded there has given it as his
opinion that two.thirds of the men on the island
would be traitors and tories in case of another
war, and believe it. But, aside from this con-
sideraton, the fort, when best manned, and with
the best guns, can neither command the island
nor the passage. No wonder, when Penetangui-
shine is within only from SO TO 4S hours unob.
structed ride of the Lake Michigan towns, thai
not only they, but all towns in the Mississippi
valley, should watch British manGuwes there
and especially when they see Indians desertn2

The Laws of Ohio taxes the farmers property,
makes him individually liable for every dollar
he owes-sells his property TO pay his debs,an
lmprsons him if he attempts TO run off or de-

The Laws of Ohio taxes the Bankers profits
only--refuses to make the Banker liable for his
debts--plevents his property from heing sold to
pay his debts--and aids and encourages him 10
swinde his follow man, and screens him from
