The Tariff nsulrania-Mr. Poll. &c

The ig-Pennsylrmid-Mr. Polk, dc.
This State is in quite fluter about the Tariff:
The wretched dupes, unworthy To- he free, who
could he imposed upon by the gross imposturc
that Mr.. Polk was better friend of the Tariff
than Mr.. Clay, and who accordingly under Nj.
Buchauan's boasted representation TO that effect,
voted for Mr.. Polk over Mr.. Clay, begin now to
see their error and TO tremble at It's consequences
IL severe retributve justice was ever deserved by
communities, Pennsylvania deserves it, for her
abandonment of the friend who had uplifted her,
whose counsels. whose exertions and whose pc.
tential eloquence had sustained her interests and
rendered them triumphant, for those Of sneak.
ing time server, who openly got astride of the
fence, in view of the whole American People
and who said, plain words could say II lin
his Kane letter. "Come | mean 10 humbug you
all!-you the South, by certain phrases in favor OF
free trade-you, Pennsylvania, by certain phrases
IN favor Of protection"
There never was as we view IT, so enormous
and successful humbug played off upon a ere.
dulous public, as the "Kane Letter" Pennsyi-
udnia especially. was fooled beyond her ordinary
foolery. But the day of re,ribution is at hand
and if the Tariff can be so cut down or modified
as to make the Pennsylvania Tariffites sensible of,
and penitent for their folly, without hurting any
body else, we shall earnestly rejoice at the lesson,
both as some atonement for the past, and sone
better promise for the future.
But, the Tariff is not going to be touched: A

A distant friend asks us (as if n Wing had any
r;rht to know y is the Tariff to be changed, and
the protective feature altogether abolished for a
uniform per cent?
We answer candidly as VIC think: There IS
no such expectation the part of The Admin'strd'
fioa there is no such trish on the part OF Mr.
Polk himself!
The subject has been used, and used with pro-
figaie disregard to consequences, which ought 10
draw down the deepest indignation upon the ac-
tors at Washington, purely with reference to tho
lowest and vilest Of party There is not
only on the part of the Executive, II thorough
conviction that the Tariff ought not to he chang
ed essentially, but perfect knowledge that II VIII
NOT be essentially changed, and that all mankind
cannot prevail with the ruling powers to change
III And this accoris perfectly with Mr. Folks
own sentiments in his "kane letter."
Are we asked, then. srhy MIR. Polk should ST.
mulate. should pretend n disposition to abolish the
Tariff The answer is plain party purposes, oil
the lowest kind, are expected and intended 10 he
s,Ibserved by the preiension. IL is wished to CO.
cree Mr.. Buchanan 10 resign, by placing him IN
hostility with the Cabinet, and it is wished to Sc
cure the election of Public Printer and other
officers, cabinet measures,) by tickling and
humbuyging the Free Tade Party in Congress.
Gan attempt which will prove successful, rs Mes
merism always proves successful upon those sub
iects predetermined to be magnetized!
This, rs we verify believe, is the whole scope
and aim Of the demonstrations against the Tariff
made by Mr.. Polk aud those who express his
views: They do not mean Ia repeal it: They do
not ,oish to repeal it: They would not if they
could, and they could not if they aoouidi Their
sole end is to throw dust in the eyes Of the Peo-
plel
IL our conjecture is right, and looking at Mr..
Folks "Kane Letter" and the state of public OPT.
MON, we cannot believe it wrong-what n con-
temptble Administration have WEI The Admin
istration of such a country this-so great and
influential in the affairs of the collective world
applying its influence TO accomplish the most petty
ends, by the most petty means To secure three
years hence the nomination Of particular ndi-
vidual for the Presidency, and to secure now the
election Of another individual for a mechanical
though lucrative office, by stimulation and decep-
lion, and by jeoparding and deranging the great
interests of the country For nothing is more
obviously true, than that the threats of change
against the Tariff system, and the approximations
thereby excited in the public mind, are extensive.
ly calamitous to the prosperity of the country.
