The tariff, for revenue, object, and protec-
ton an incident, is the rule which meet with ac-
knowledged favor, and just discrimination is urged
that the few may not be benefited at the expense Of
the many. The neAation question belongs exelu-

In the perusal Of the message, not to admire the
simplicity Of style asd the total absence Of rhetorical
flourish and hyperbole, he speaks unbecomng lit

bounding impulse rushed to bid her welcome. As to
Pennsylvania the pledge has been redeemed her in
dustry must prosper and the statesman Of Tennessee,
upon whom she has aided to confer exalted though
