THE MEMPHIS CONVENTION.

This body adjourned after session oflour days.
The result of It's labors will be found in our col
umns to day, in series Of resolutions which make
astonishing and important recommendations to
Congress. They are really startling To us
particularly those which recommend the improve
ment of the Mississippi and her tributaries, by
the General Government--lhe cutting of ship
canal from the Lakes to the Mississippi-the ex-

10 RESOLVED, That as many Of the projected
Rail Roads pass through the public land this
Convention recommends 10 Congress to grant To
the respective companies not only the right of
way, but alternate sections of public land Oh the
route, as we believe that the increased value con-
erred by these works on the residue of the public
land would be at least equal to the value of such
grant.

be taken by the General Government to remove
and prevent the recurrence of the obstruction i'm

H. ResOlred, That dry dock and convenient
arrangements for the repairing and refitting of

THE TARIFF.

A writer over the signature of &c Bundlecund"
has been entertaining the readers of the Wash
ington Union with a series of articles which he
Is continuing upon the subject of the Tariff. We
have copied into previous numbers of our paper
one or two Of these essays, and could To advan-
tage copy the whole series they not too long.
We do not remember ever to have seen this sub
ject treated in such mastery style in the news
papers. In the last g Union" - Bundlecund"
shows up in good style what he thinks should
justly be termed the 90 humbug" duties of the
IarIf, meaning those which imposed upon
Wheat, Corn, Beet, Pork, Cattle, Cotton, &c.,
&c. The trainers of the present Tariff for no
other reason than to gull the farmer of the coun-
try, imposed duties upon these ariicles-to make
them believe that they were protected from for
elgn competition, when every farmer in the land
knows that nature has done that for him already
The able correspondent of the Union says: "Of
the principal agricultural staples of the country,
an immense greater quantity exported to
foreign countries, than are imported into this
country, Of the articles of the like kind coming
into competition with them thus showing that
the farmers and planters of This country produce
a large surplus of those articles beyond the con-
sumption of the country, which mast find mar
ket abroad, or perish upon their hands. How
idle. then, is it to talk about protecting articles
OF which we produce large surplus, and which
we iIuSl Hhu CONSUMERS iOr In foreign countries
How can the foreign producer of cotton afford to
bring his commodity to this country and compete
with the American planter, who can undersell
him in any market in the world How absurd
is 1T 10 talk OF protecting wheat, when our far
mers raise millions of bushels more than can be
consumed In this country, and which they can
sell at a lower rate than any other wheat growers
in the world. And how ridiculous, not TO say
insulting, TO the farmer, it is to talk to him about
a protective duty of ten cents per busheI on pc.
taiOes, when he is glad in good seasons, to sell
them TO the starch manufacturer at from ten 10
twelve cents per bushel, as thousands do in the
Middle and Northern States. How absurd to
talk of protecting butter cheese, lard, beef, pork
&c, when our farmers raise millions upon mil
lions of pounds more than can be consumed in
this country, which they must export to other
countries Yet these duties--Hunlbug duties,
they deserve to be caed--are introduced into the
present Tariff by its framers to reconcile them to
the enormous bountles which it cOmpels them to
pay to the manufacturer, the iron MASTER the
sugar planter, the salt boiler, and even 10 the
pin maker, for the whole nation of women are
put under contribution, in ORDER in order to raise

he had spoken imPertinenty of the ladies of Mr.
