THE TARIFF.

The chief surplus products Of Michigan are
wheat, -four, beef, pork, butter, and cheese The
duty wheat, flour, beef pork, butter, cheese, and
indeed agricultural produce generally, does not ena-
BILE the farmers TO get cent more for their crop
than If there was no duty. The farmers do moi
want duty on wheat &c. They are willing that
il should be taken of. The South have demanded
that Congress take the duty off cotton. The farm
ers know very well that foreign wheat, butter, pork,
&C., will not be imported-snply because it is moi
wanted; we have surplus; and besides that, we
can grow and make these articles much cheaper
than they can be imported. duty on wheat or
fits nobody. But suppose we take the article sugar,
instead Of wheat or cotton. The duty on brown
sugar is 81 cents per pound. Sugar can be import
ed of as good quality as our domestic brown s,i-
gar at about "a cents the poupd: the duty on the
low-priccd brown sugar is Hooper cent. Sugar, the
same in quality, in New Orleans, costs about 5
cents the pound. Here we see the principle fully
illustrated. In all cases where duty affords any
protection, it increases the price to the consumer.
If the article can be imported cheaper than il can
be made here, then the duty enables the grower or
maker here to increase his price about the amount
Of the duty; and thus the home article will come
are such plain truths, that none but knave or a
fool would deny them. If they were not truths, a
duty could not protect or benefit any one.
So with all those descriptions of goods, whether
Of iron, cotton, woollen, or silk manufacture. II
the quality of goods can be made here as cheap as
they can be made in foreign country and imported

increases the price to the consumer.

AN EXAMPLE FOR ALI DEMOCRATS.


twill be remembered that, at the late election in
Alabama, Nathaniel Terry, the democratic nominee
for governor, was defeated by j. l.. Martin, an in
dependent democrat This was, Of course, calcu-
lated to excite bad blood between the different Sec
tons OF the party, which had hitherto always moved
forward in unbroken harmony. Under The unpleas-
ant feelings produced by UNEXPECTED defeat, the
friends Of Terry, In the strongly democratic county
Of Limestone, invited him to public dinnss, Al a
testimony Of regard from his friei,ds and nephbors
for his republican prinsibes, his unwavering adhe-
renee to those principles, and hts many domestic
writes Fearing land most wisely, tooI thar this
public demonstration would Tend TO widen The breach
Of party association, already SO unfortunately pro-
duced-and most Justly conceying that the efforts
Of all rue democrats should be exerted to heal the
dfssensions and soften the aspcrities engendered-
Mr.. Terry, in respectful language, most honorable
TO him, declined the proffered honors. Such sac.
r6ce Of selfish and personal feelings ntakes his CON-
ism and devotion to principle ab8ye everything else,
he not only fofegUeS lhS Temptation which Is held
out 70 him 70 Crafty his feelings, and 10 enjoy Ike

sue hs course, 10 Sacrifice everything to principle
and TO March onward in the good cause with an un-
faltering step and an unclouded heart No personal
sacrifice is too great, when the safety of ones prn-
ciples and country depends upon il. The following
passage, in Mr.. Terry's letter, speaks d laneuAee
which should be deeply studied BY every democrat.

JUDGE OF THE SUPREME COURT.

We Sbnonnee with great pleasure the appoint
fheft of Hon. Levi Woodbury. to the vacancy or
the bench Of the Supreme Court of the United States
caused by the death of Judge Story. II is a high
trust like that of President Of The United States
neither to be sought nor declined. Mr. Woodbury.
has not sought it, and the country requires that he
Should not decline it. His position, ability, expe
rience, soundness, and pre-eminent fitness for The
office, directed all eyes toward him as the man, as
soon as the vacancy occured and he has received the
appointment, ii should only be made in such case
from the spontaneous action of the appointing pow.
or. The promptness with which the President has
made the selection renders Il ai higher tribute 10
the position Of Mr.. Woodbury., an the safest and
suandest constitutional lawyer to whom so grave
trust could be committed. That he will accept IL
under, such circumstances we cannot doubt, fof
though 1t sewers him from direct political action in
the Red the cabinet or the senate chamber, in all Of
which he has stood unsurpassed, il nevertheless re-
serves his great abilities and sound principles for the
service OF the people at point where, more than at
any other in our institutions, is required fearless
sentinel TO guard their constitutional rights.
This consideration reconciles to the transfer OF
Mr.. Woodbury. from the Senate to the bench; and
in his appointment we can congratulate not party
merely, but the whole people, that one SO digni6ed
in manner and courteous in department, so able in
learning and 30 sound in doctrine, has been selected
to supply the place Of the late Judge Story. With
the New England bar, Of all parties we believe the
appointment Will DC more acceptaDie than tndt OF
any lawyer who could have been selected in the cir
cult, holding political views in accordance with the
national administration. - Boston Post.
JubeE WooDsuRY.--The appointment of Senator
Woodbury. to the post lately vacated by the death
of Judge Story gives universal satisfaction to the
democratic party.-Propidenee Gazette.
The New York News says,
"We scarcely know whether to feel qualification
or regret at this appointment. Mr. Woodbury. will
make an excellent judge, and will adon the bench;
but he can i'll be spared from the democratic ranks
in the Senate at the present time"

Boughton was arrested and about fortnight ago
he was found in Connecticut, and brought here to
stand his trial. After he came here, he offered to
disclose the whole matter; and has, accordingly
been put upon the stand witness.
He answers that he was notin disguise on the day
Of the robbery loaned part Of his disguise to
Boughton; and was present when he put it on, be-
fore the robbery, and also when he took it of, after
the affair.
He testifes that Boughton told him he meant to
terrify the sheriff, and take his papers from him.
and he mentions the startling fact, that several of the
disguised men on that day had their pistols loaded
with ball; and that, after robbng the sheriff and
burning one of the landlords in efigy, Boughton
proposed to and feather two Of the agents Of the
landlord, but was deferred from doing it.
On Saturday, three Of the disguised men came
forward witnesses; and there seems to be now
quite strife among them which shall first and most

Il il very gratifying to feelings to learn that
the President of the United States has conferred the
Office of consul to Londonderry, Ireland upon this
distinguished gentleman. Mr.. Med. is resident
of this town. and is Of the bright stars that have
SO frequently led the noble and worthy democracy
Of this section on to victory. He is ripe scholar,
and, as merchant and businessman, he has not his
equal in any country. He is also gentleman in
every way qualified 10 dignity and adorn any situa-
ton in which he may be placed, with credit to him
SELF and honor to the American nation, Of which he
is an adopted citizen. No man is more devoted to
this country and its institutions than he is; and il
he accepts the appointment zoe, who know him well,
will guaranty that he will discharge his duties as
consul with honor and fidelity. This appointment
was very unexpected to the many friends OF Mr..
Med, from the fact of his known aversion TO hold
ing any Office whatever being always content with
discharging the duties Of useful private citizen,
and pursuing his business svocations. His extern
sive business transactions are now Of such char
acer that il s doubtful whssher he will accept the
appointment which has been SO graciously conferred
upon him. He is now absent at the North, having
left home few days before the appointment reach
ed here.
