Hon. JoHN BATTAILE says, in his let

" 1t is evident that we must rely for success

sion, declared, that ifhe knew be was cleo
ted to Office, by the aid of wing votes, he
would refuse to accept - Gzoo City Wing
The Wing knows and breads the increas-
ing popularity of our candidate for the Sem
ate, Judge Battaile, and thus by indirect
assertion and inuendo attempts to circulate
a report that he has stated he would not ac-
cePt Office if obtained BY whig votes. This
is grave charge, and without consulting
with Judge Battaile upon the subject, we
take the liberty Of calling upon the Wing

suits to build up mighty power which
would eventually trample down their lber.
ties.
We have thus hastily sketched the iniu.
rious effects Of imposing restrictions upon
foreign commodities-such as our present
high tariff system has a tendency to do
we have shown how detrimental tariff tar.
ationis to commerce, the great ligament
which binds in unity, harmony, and peace
the nations Of the earth--we have shown
that prohibitory duties weakens instead Of
strengthens nations, as in the case Of
China-we have shown il is the fruitful
source of wars and dissensions among ma
tions--we have brought forward the opin.
ions to sustain outlassertions, Ofthe great
est statesmen, the purest patriots who have
lived since the beginning Of time-we, have
shown the dangerous effects of rearing
powerful institutions and bestowing upon
them special privileges-we have moreover
proved tina: the present Tariff system is
destructive of the rights Of every industrial
pursuit, save that of manufacturing, for the
entire benefit of which it was created
We might here dissect the monster and
show further its defDrmities-and how well
it works for the benefit of the rich, and to
the injury of the poor-but we have already
gone to too great length.
While our forefathers were Indignantly
throwing over board the cargoes of tea at
Boston they did not think their posterity
would be more heavily taxed upon such ar
ticles of necessity as iron, sugar and sat
than they were upon that, merely to sus-
tain pampered aristocracy in their midst.
Until we rid ourselves Of such an odious
and oppressive system of commercial ty.
ranny as the present Tariff, let us no lon
ger boast of equal rights. While we boast
of the freedom of speech, the privilege Of
suffrage, the freedom of the press, the free
dom of religious worship, LEI US, also boast
Of the freedom of trade.
Again we say "REPEAL THE TARIFF!
Justice demands it, our country's happiness
demands it, and the rights of the industri-
BUS laborers demands it. REPEAL THE
TARIFF !"
