DO. The "National Intelligencer" has fired its

is altogether Mexican in its views It would
surrender into her unmolested possession the whole
territory between the Nueces and the Rio Grande.
We have no such sympathies. The great body Of
our people are Americans. They go for our
whole right, whilst they would make no aggression
upon the property of Mexico. We shall pay our

THE MONEY MARKET.

The advocates of protective tariff are aVrse to a
commercial treaty between this country and Eng
land, because, say they, 1--WE should send more
grain and meat to that country and take Of her far
more cloths, wares, &C., in return. Commerce
would, for brief season, be stimulated; but our
manufactures would be shaken and crippled, II not
FRUSTRATED; and our agriculture, compelled to seek a
market the ocean for vast surplus product,
would be doomed to subsst ON low prices forever
This argument is quite curiosity in logic. II It
were said that agriculture, tied down to home
market, by laws prohibiting free interchange of
commodities between different nations, "woud be
doomed to subsst on low prices forever" one
could see something approaching common sense in
it, but TO say that the opening to US OF new mark
ct, where all farm products are much higher than
here at home, must produce that effect, is a refine
ment in litco-economical logic that would puzzle
a Philadelphia lawyer, or any other probem-solver,
to explain. lift is meant that the dmnution Of the
northern and eastern manufacturing markets would
be so great as to outweigh the entire market Of
Great Britain with her twenty five millions of souls,
then we can but marvel at the credulity presumed in
the public 1t is doubtful whether, if the restric-
tons upon foreign trade were permanently reduced
to the standard Of the compromise act, one single
pound less of pork, or one bushel less Of corn,
would thereby be consumed in the eastern markets.
prohibitory or high protective tariff is, therefore,
maintained at the direct of the agricultural in
terest, 10 the exclusive benefit Of the home manu-
facturer, when the currency is down to the mini
mum point, and to the profit Of the foreign manu-
facturer when the currency is inflated as to null
