\ WHAT is A REVENUE TARIFF

This question, we believe, has never been salts,
factorily answered, and we doubt whether it be
or whether, strictly speaking, there can be such
thing az unmixed revenue tariff. But there are
certain principles which should characterize such a
tariff, to the standard Of which we should approx
mate nearly a. the nature Of things will permit.
A revenue tariff will proportion the burdens OF
the government, a. nearly as possible, according to
the wealth Of each individual placing but slight du-
ties on articles which are indispensable for the poor
and high duties on articles of foreign luxury, the
consumption of which is confined TO the rich. In
the present tariff, this principle is entirely dsre-
garded. l&5
revenue tariff imposes no burdens upon the
people, except TO pay the expenses Of the govern
ment avoiding, far possible, the operation OF
the present system, which imposes double taxi the
duties upon foreign imports alone going into the
public treasury, while there is another tax in the
higher prices of our own manufactures, which
makes up the enormous profits Of the manufactu-
rers. This is as much tax upon the people as
though it was levied directly upon their property,
and then paid from the national treasury in the form
of bounty--with this advantage in the last method
Mat 1t would then fall upon each according TO his
means, while the burden is now placed dispropor-
tonally upon the poor
A revenue tariff looks upon all classes and inter-
ests, and all sections of the Union equally enti-
tied TO favor, not making the particular pet and
favorite of the government and building it up at the
expense Of others and in this manner il avoids the
jcalousies and disaffeciion which have heretofore
threatened the pcrmanence Of the Union. II also
approximates the income Of the government as near
ly as possible to the amount of its expenses thus
preventing large surplus revenue and its attendant
evils. -asts
Such tariff being at all times necessary, and reg
ulated by standard which has little variation, Is
sure and permanent, not stimulating by temporary
benefits or deceving by false hopes, producing e-
verish excitement and vacillaton in BUSH
ness and making the politics of the nation misera-
bic scramble for pecuniary gain. ,8
In the Incidental protection" which it may con-
fer il avoids raising the profits of occupation far
above that of others, but rather aims at whole
some and permanent equality in every branch of in
dustry in the nation.-BGrs Gazette.

Ma. CUSHING ON CHNA.---Mr. Gushing has been
lecturing at Newburyport on China and the Chi
nese, an abstract of which we find in the last Her
aid. He thinks the people to be more learned than
they have credit for. Papers and books abound
among them, One of the Pekin papers circulates
10 the remotest parts Of the empire. They need
only military skill and discipline to make formi-
dable nation. He infers from this that the .sUte-
plan dreamers Of peace" who would extinguish the
martial spirit of nation, would destroy it, without
which spirit the Independence of nation could
never be maintained" They did not want foreign
trade; they had all the arts among themselves
Commissioner Lin said that trade had been forced
upon them. The population of that country, he
thought, had not been over-estimated. The soil
fertile, that in the southern attitudes, two
crops year were raised Machinery was not
used. From that reason it was that many articles
Of our own manufactures found market there The
introduction oft would probably produce reyolu
ton, from the numbers thrown out of employment
He found no difficulty in procuring such persons
as were needed in the mission, at five dollars per
month
The Herald says that Mr.. Gushing has lost that
smooth style of speaking which he formerly pos
sessed. He had acquired more vigorous, ener.
getic, bold manner, from his addressing tumutuous
popular assemblies, and from writing into other
languages. --Boston Daily Whig.

SINGULAR PHENOMENON ON LAKE ONTARIO -
On Saturday last most extraordinary occurrence
was noticed in the lake at this place. Shortly be-
fore noon, some gentlemen walking upon the wharf,
happening to cast their eyes upon the water be-
tween the piers, were struck with the very unusual
appearance of strong current tide, as if it were
setting directly out to It seemed if the whole
lake was going bodily away. In few minutes,
nearly third part of the inner harbor, with
responding portion of the shore on either side, was
left entirely bare; when suddenly the tide turned,
and came as rapidly back again, filling the harbor,
at least two feet higher than it was before. This
extraordinary action Of the lake was continued at
regular intervals of every eight ten minutes, till
after dark; the highest tide noticed being little be-
fore six o'clock in the evening" when the water rose
several inches higher than il was last spring. and
just two feet and inch above its present level
We understand the same occurrence was noticed
at other places the lake, and hear that at Port
Hope the effect great that the Princess Roy.
al could not get into the harbor at ALL running hard
aground when more than her length outside the en-
trance to the PIERS The cause Of so extraordinary
phenomenon is at present matter of various con-
lecture; but the general opinion seems to be- that it
could only have been produced by violent earth
quake in some part of the continent which we shall
probably soon hear of.-Cobotug Wing.

CHESAPEAKE AND ONO CANAL.-The Chesapeake
and Ohio canal as will be seen by the following let
ter from friend, is to be forthwith completed.
From our knowledge of the gentlemen who have I'M
deraken this work, we have no hesitation in COM
mendng the attention OF contractors to their lettings.
Albany Journal.
New YoRK, Oct. 8, 1845.
DEAR SIR: Pursuing our recent conversation in re-
ation to the contract lately entered into by myself
and others, constituting the firm Of Gwynn & Co.,
with the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Company, for
the unfinished work of the canal, have to state that
our contract amounts to 81 ,625 900, including some
collateral stipulations.
The work extends over distance of fifty miles,
commencing at dam No. 6, few miles above Han
cock, and ending at the town of Cumberland; in
which distance work has been already executed
equal TO 81 ITO miles, leaving to be done that which
is equal to 10 $40 miles.
The amount Of cost will serve to give you an idea
of the heavness of the work to be done; and will
only state on this point that it embraces the compile
ton of tunnel, 1.-THE arching of which will require
5,000,OO0 of bricks dams, locks, aqueducts, and
culvers, besides considerable amount of heavy ex-
cavation.
The contractors contemplate subetting the greater
part of this work, and are now prepared to exhibit
this part to bidders, and receive applications for it,
One or more Of the contractors will remain on the
line for this purpose until after the 10Th inst when
subcontracs will probably be entered into, far
the bids are found to be satisfactory. Any of your
friends that may be disposed toexamine the work,
will be cordially welcomed and kindly treated; and
trust their visits may prove Of mutual advantage
The contractors are already prepared with money
sufficient to fulfil all sub-contracts they may enter
into. -
1t may not be amiss for TO state that those dis
posed TO examine the work to be done, can be con-
veyed on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad either to
Hancock or Cumberland, as they may prefer; and
at either place may readily find horses 10 convey
them along the line of work, and be directed either
TO the contractors or engineers of the company in
charge of the line.
The work must be commenced by the contractors
during this month, and is to be completed within
two years.

lightly laden, from the consumption OF her coal, was
particularly liable TO SO wander nom her course.
There may also have been some defect IN steering,
induced by error of the compass, from derangemens
caused by our iron vessel and It's massive mAchine-
ry If there was any fault in the navigation BY our
captain, which got us in the scupe, (but which no
one seemed to impue, } am yet the more pleased
that il happened, and would the sooner sail with
him again from Witnessing the admirable GOODNESS
and Judgment with which he lai9 his huge vessel in
safe place. with shoals reefs Of rocks and breakers
all around him, and where a cookie boat would have

He was among them from one o'clock in the morn
ing until about noon, when the farmers came on
board, feeling every inch of way with the lead and
their nautical eye. Could you have seen the place
and the monster vessel, you would have understood
the amazement of the Nantucket men to find her
there and safe.
The Great Britain is a noble vessel: its spacious
dimensions afford most ample room for comfort, yet
great complaints are justly made against the small
ness of the state-rooms-the iron rigging, wanting
sides, appear too weak. Her great length secures
her from pitching; and her length, being united
with her mode and tho materials of her construction
she is, in my opinion, very safe sea-boat; and
after all the vcisstudes Of our voyage, the greatest
cause of danger which now feel in reference TO
her, is in rejecting on the immense length, weight
and velocity of motion of her shaft, which turns the
propeller, and is situated along the keeson. That
shaft is about one hundred and twenty feet long, and
weighs about thirty TONS and is meant to revolve fifty
times in a minute, and is only boxed and fastened
at the two extremtes Such weight, united with
snch velocity of motion, readily suggest thoughts of
easy arrangement, while such arrangement might
in moment involve the destruction of the ship.
Should weak spot exist in its unusual length
should it break, often has happened to steam
boat shafs--with its immense weight and velocity,
it would probably in instant, and before the en-
gines could be stopped, dash through the vessels
sides, and hurl destruction upwards among the sa-
looms.
Ifguarantees of safety could be furnished in the
above particular, have no doubt she would prove
the safest, as have also confidence that proper inn
proyements being made, she will eventually be the
swiftest and most commodious boat that ever
ed the Atlantic, 'Facie Prnceps" surprising all
others in speed, comfort, and safety
With the kindest wishes, am
Ever yours, truly,

We ask the attention of our readers to an article
we copy to-day from the Washington Union,
headed-"The Kane letter again I" Il strips the
mask from the worthy; who for several weeks past
has been pouring forth volumes Of abuse, through
the columns of!he Charleston Mercury, upon the
President and his cabinet, Mr.. Benton, Mr.. Bagby,
and other senators, and has made himself notori-
by the rcckessness of his charges, and the i'm
prudence and presumption of his "fables," as the
'sUpion" styles them. Our whig friends, who have
been in the habit Of quoting this scandalmonger
with peculiar glee, and chuckling over what they
have denoninated democratic disclosures, will be
interested in learning that the author is struggling
Englishman, employed by the Charleston Mercury
to do its peculiar busness--for consideration, Of
course. These foreign patriots who prowl about
the capitol, always keep sharp lookout for the
ways and means.
There is something rich and refreshing in the
idea Of subject Of Queen Victoria installing him
self into the Office of public censor, and reading
homilies TO the American people ppon the conduct
of their rulers, their duties, and obligations. Who
will hesitate to say that we are favored people
