THE zoLL vEREIN.

It was weak and unwise in our Senate to re.
ject the treaty concluded at Berlin with the Zoll
Verein or German Union, on the ground that it
regulated the duties on imported merchandise
without the Intervention Of the House Of Repre-
sentatives. The treaty provided that American
cotton should be imported into the ports of the
league free of duty, and reduced the duties on
American rice and tobacco on condition that GER
tam articles Of German manufacture should be
admitted into the United States on duty of 20
per centum. The treaty is violently opposed by
the merchants of Hamburg, the other Hanseatic
cities, and the kingdom of Hanover, because they
have not come into the league, and in consequence
OF low duties on tobacco, they possess an almost
entire monopoly of the trade in that article, and
under the treaty Of commerce negotiated with the
Hanse Towns by Mr.. Clay during the admins
tration of John Q. Adams, American vessels can
hardly hold any competition with them. Thus
it becomes the interest of Hamburg to keep the
trade in its present condition.
Had the Zoll Verein treaty been ratified by
the Senate, the Hamburg monopoly would have
been pushed aside-at present that city, with
Brem n and one or two others, import large
quantities of tobacco from this country, and SNUG
gle great part of into the interior of Germany.
Under the rejected treaty. the number OF German
ports into which it would have been admitted on
very low dntirs, woud have been multiplied, and
consequently the consumption Of the article would
have become more general md why-was the
treaty rej'cteda Merely to CRAFTY the caprice
and support the false principles the Advocates of
protection in this country! A few articles Of
German toys and dry goods were to-ee admitted
into the United States on duty of 20 per cent.
one-6fh Of their value. The prot cIionists urged
that own manufactures could not Withstand
the German competition with such rate Of duties.
1t was proved by the advocates of the treaty that
very few of the articles manufactured in the
United States. But they may be hereafter, said
the protectonists. In the meantime the growers
of cotton, tobacco and rice are excluded from a
market for twcnty-eight millions of souls, be-
cause at some fnrnre period certain German goods
may be produced in this coun,rvl

No sickness there

A11OOGE1l vi E1hANf6LN.
No sickness there.
No weary wasting of the frame away );
Nofearful shrinking from the midnight air,
No dread of summers bright and fervid ray
No hidden grief, .a
No wild and cherries vision of despair;
No vain petition for swift relief
No fearful eyes, no broken hearts are there.
Care has no home !
Within the realm of ceaseless prayer and song
Its billows break away and melt in foam,
Far from the mansions of the spirit throng!
.sH The storms black wing
Is never spread athwaTt celestial skies
It's waiIin9s blend not with the voice of spring,
AS soon 100 tender howeret fades and dies!
No night distils 90.
Its chilling dews upon the tender frame;
No moon is needed there ]! The light which fills
That land Of glory, from its Maker came
No parted friends
O'er mournfuI recollectiohs have 10 weep!
No bed Of death enduring love attends
To watch the coming Of pulseless sleep!
No blasted flower
Or withered bud celestial gardens know!
No sco ching blast or fierce descending shower
ScatIeTs destruction like ruthless foe |!

young gentleman has attained linle more than his

enough to show that he has commenced the work
of q pointing the way to heaven " at very early
age. We had an opportunity of hearing his ser
mon in the forenoon, upon the fricitirs OF tho
heavenly world, and we must certainly say that
we have listened in our time to many Oxford and
Cambridge men in holy orders, who could not
have delivered half so excellent discourse. It
was delivered extempores but it would, evidently
be going too far to say that it was not premedi.

been premedhated, it was an extraordinary effort
of memory, and more particularly so when we
state that it lasted upward of an hour. the heads
were clearly divided, the emphasis was properly
laid the action was good the several points were
effectively arrived at, and the youthful preacher.
