AND BALTIMORE CLIPPER.

VJ ESDAY MORNING, OCT. !, i845.
The ELECrloN To-MDREow. 1t may not
be unimpurlaut to apprlzc all persons, that the
law Of the last session of the legislature, III
Alcing severe puushmcnts for Illegal voting
and requiring certificates Of naturalization TO
be stamped. is as applicable to corporation as
10 general elections; and we therefore trust
That no person will subject himself 10 its penal
ties by attempting to give am Illegal vote,
With the election Of city councilmcn to-
morrow will close the elections for the year,
ind Of course the people will settle down to
their usual avocatons Immediately thereafter,
without further excitement. The election to-
morrow is Of importance TO the citizens OF
Baltimore and they will no doubt select pro-
per men to take care Of their Interests In
some Of the wards there are three, and i'll
others but two, sets of candidates; and of
course the two Branches Of the city council
VIII be Of mixed political sentiments. the
Native American party have, we believe, fill
nomination for both branches, to which they
will, of course, give 4 united support.
"THE CRY IS SILL, THEY COME Three
hundred and thittysiX passengers arrived from
Bremen at this port on Saturday last, and will
DC manufactured into "bettet citizens" with all
practicable DISPATCH for party purposes. They
can, however, enter at once upon the grat,iy-
mg business of taking the stations of SO many
American mechanics and aborcrs. at half price.
and the Americans will have the satisfaction of
being driven into the interior Of the country for
support, or living here on "short commons. y
Political leaders fold their arms, and look on
with indifference; OF perhaps, are engaged in
Do mustered into their party ranks. Mechan-
ics and laborcrS will be the principal sufferers
BY the great innnx of foreign population, and
by the Introduction Of foreign criminals and
PauPcrs-and if they are pleased with the pros
pect before them, they are likely to be gratifed
10 their hearts content.
If their be no change in the naturalization
law, 50 as to require longer residence than at
present before becoming Il citizen-and if grea-
Ter guards be not provided against frauds, a
few years more will place the whole power of
his country in the hands of comparative sran-
gers to our institutions. The evil of such po-
yrtion Of affairs will be readily admitted by
members of both the old parties, but they want
hTmncss to apply the proper remedy, and abuse
those who have the independence to step for
ward for the protection of "our country"
The TARIFF. 1t is mistaken idea which
appears to be entertained by the editor of the
Union, that the vote given at the recent cleo
hon in this city, was designed to favor the re-
duclion of the tariff to what is called the reve-
nue. standard, which seems to have been fixed
by the secretary of the treasury at twelve and
a half per cent. When the duties under the
compromise act had fallen to twenty per cent. |
The effect was SO runous to the citizens of Bal
tmore that there was unanimous voice in
favor of an increased tarl-and we venture to
say, that the member Of Congress elect from
this district, will never give vote to replace
the citizens of Baltimore in the condition in
which they were in 1912, 1t must be apparent
TO every man who has paid the least attention
10 the subject, that duty oftwclve and half
per cent would not afford half the revenue re-
9ujred for the ordinary expenditures of govern
ment; and that as necessary consequence,
loans or direct taxation would have to be re-
sorted to in order to supply the deficiency. A
writer in the National inte.igencer shows con-
eluslvely, that ruin would result from such re-
ducton. He says:
"Wll not reduction of the tariff to twelve
and half per cent. (icss than has ever been
thought of or seriously suggested beiore) efiec-
lually ruin every mechanic, manufacturer, and
farmer in the United States? At twelve and a
half per cent. what will become, sir, Of
