The cat is out Of the bag We "scribblersn have
wcrmed some more important secrets from Father
Ritchie the veriest scribsndib,s Of us all. In last
Saturdays U,,,on, he advises the N.y York Sun
against any such heresies, that all the enereies

Calhoun" and against certain OF the "stranpest.
most illiberal and most ridiculous doubts Of Mr..
Polk, in regard TO our foreign concerns" And
then with the imperative, ambiguous and portentous
tone of an oracle, Father Richie says" before
sixty days are over his head' the recusant editor
aforesaid, "will be ashamed Of having admitted
such stuff into his columns"

wise will another New York editor, who permits one
OF his scrbbers to nslnuate that the President OF

York editor, we take it, is the editor of the Herald,
whose permission TO his correspondents here, en-
braces very wide and interesting field of discus
sion, trenchng, perhaps, at times upon the exclusive
duties of the organ in heraldng the progress OF the
administration. But Father Richie must endure

to be sure; but he assumes too much when he
claims, and persists in il his right to do all the
"scrlbbling" for the administration.
But what is here lnsinuated" by Father Rtchie,
to the actual position Of the President "in regard
to foreign concerns" and the great question of
the Tariff! The country is informed substantially
that the views OF the President and Mr.. Walker on
the subject OF the revenue laws, are identical, and
that there need be no apprehensions as to the re-
commentators OF the Executive In regard to our
foreign concerns"
| There are important glimmering revelations in
sinuated" in this cabastic editorial of the Organ of
Saturday night last. We hold that the President
holds to the Kane letter. his latest expression
of oplnion"-thsf he advocates an equal protection
through the medium OF the customs to all the great
and the mechanic arts We are pretty we'll assur-
ed on the other hand that Mr.. Walker has planted
his stakes at the low water mark of the Compromise
Act-a horizontal 0d ualorem of 20 per centum. Tho
Organ clearly +" insinuates' that the views of the
President and his Secretary of Finance are the
same. Here, then we have it disclosed at last, that
fair Interpretation of the "Kane letter. is exactly the
same thing as Col Polk's Tennessee revenue ideas
twelve months prior to the latest expression of his
opinions uthCarollna,it appears, gave the "kane
letter" its true transation-that 1t was plainly re-
solvable into 20 per cent draorem But alas for
Mr. Buchanan and the other iron masters of Penn
sylvana. That equal protection was to them, not IN
the language of the plous Mr. Butler, " the SAVIOUR
of life unto llfe,'' but " "a SAVIOUR of death unto
DEATH" 1t was the wooden horse OF the Greek free
traders with which they were to scale the Keystone,
and subugate the Tariff men of Troy to the "equal
protection" of an inexorabe 20 per cent ad raiorem
We conclude, then, that the President will re-
commend twenty per cent tariff modification, that
he will recommend the twelve months notice to
| Great Britain for dissolution OF the compact of
1877 and 27 and such other lncipent steps by Con-
| gress as may be essential to our exclusive occupa-

very earliest practicable period
In the latter case, the President will be sustained
with enthuslasm-in the former, as Father Richie
has fairly "lnsnuated, . the administration will ex.
plode, only to be recognized upon an incidental
| protective compromises mere abatement OF the
| harsher features OF the act OF AZ.
