The Tariff Oftte merit Congress. There
was class ofpoiiticaI spouters in our late
canvass who maintained stoutly and con-
fidently that it was so we'll settled that the
present tariff law would not be disturbed
that they even affirmed that the President
would not recommend its reduction The
leading fact from which they deduced their
conclusion was, that Mr.. Polk had appoint
ed Mr.. Buchanan his Secretary of State,
and hence they were fully satisfied that he
would be content TO let the tariff stand.
They overlooked two important circum-
stances connect with this subject--frst, that
although Mr.. Buchanan voted for the
present law, yet he accompanied his vote
with the distinct declaration that his own
opinion was in opposition to the bill-and
second, that as Secretary of State, MI
Buchanan has nothing to do with the Ia
rifquestinn.
This delusion, however, has now passed
away---the emphatic annunciation of Mr..
Walker, the Secretary of the Treasury
having charge OF the subject, that "the ia
riff must be reduced" together with his
known energy in collecting information as
to the practical operation Of the law, back
ed by repeated declarations in the Wash
ing Union expressing the same sentiment;
these evidences have dissi pated all doubts
rs TO the course ofthe President, and have
produced universal conviction that the re-
duction of the tariff will be the prominent
question in next Congress. In view of
this state of the subject, the tariff is now
undergoing a general investigation and
discussion in every section of the Union.
The sentiment is becoming universal that
the subject ought to be definitely and per-
manently arranged during the next SEES
sion.
In no quarter Of the Union is the Tariff
undergoing so severe a scrutiny as in the
northern States. The extravagant profits
which ale there well known to be received
by manufacturing capitalists, have awak-
ened an intense interest in the public mind,
and call forth the most decided 'expreS-
sionof dissatisfaction with the law. As far
as our observation has gone, it satisfies US
that ont of Pennsylvania the sentiment Of
the democracy is universal that 'the tariff
must be reduced" The only difficulty
which will be presented in the next Con-
gress " i'll be in respect to the details ola
new tariff-this is at all times perpleXing
subject, but we have strong confidence
that the result will show that the difficulty
is not insurmountable. We shall contin-
ue to transfer to our columns such articles
on the tariff as will be calculated to throw
light upon il, whilst it gives peculiar plea
sure 10 present the views Of our correspon-
dents who may desire to contribute their
mite to the discussion.

DEATH OF JUDGE STORY.

The eminent jurist is no more! The
brightest ornament of the legal profession
has been taken from us. Joseph Story,
LII. D., ono Of the justices Of the United
States Supreme Court, and Dane Professor
of Law in Harvard University, expired at
his residence in Cambridge last Wednesday
evening, at a quarter before nine o'clock.
His pulse ceased to beat, and his hands
were cold, before eight p. m. His disease
was stopfage OF the intcstines, or strangu-
lation-the same sickness which ended
the life of Mr. Legare in Boston in 1913.
The Boston Courier Of yesterday says:
"Judge Story was 65 years Of age. he
graduated at Harvard University in l79S,
aud was appointed TO the judgeship Of the
United States court by President Madison
in 1911. He has filled high office in the
judicial service OF his country, and a high
oT station in the public eye, and he has
left a space which will not be easily filled"

Information Of much interest from Oregon is
contained in letter from an emigrant publish
ed recently in the Platte (Mo) Argus The
writer appears to be one Of the leading men in
the region beyond 'the far West" The pro.
gress of the settlement and increase the pop.
ulation have been so rapid as to render the or
ganzation of a regular government indispensa-
bic. This has accordingly been done. Dele
gates were elected by the people and met in
general assembly: by them such laws were
passed as were deemed necessary at the com
menccment of an organization. To save the
trouble of legislation, the Statute Law of Iowa
was adopted, where it was applicable, as the
code Of the territory. The settlements are d.
.vided into five counties in each of which two
terms ofthe Circuit Court are held every year
There is but one Judge who discharges the du-
ties Of the Probate, Chancery, and all other ju-
rislicions, including that of justice of the peace
A 'tall Tennesseean" was selected as Sheriff
who is described as f" a terror of evil doers,"
and most efficient officer. The practice Of
the law, as a profession, has already commenc-
ed. The writer ofthe letter is himselfa law
yer, and speaks of the "important suits" he
has on hand Such is an outline Of the pro-
viSional government now organized and in ope-
ration. Among the people, there is an evident
disposition to set up for themselves, and form an
independent government They are only
waiing intelligence oGlhe action of Great Bri
tain and the United States on the boundary
question before movement is made. So soon
as the posture Of the pending negotiations and
the improbabiiiy of an early settlement is as
ceraned, there is no doubt but that the emf
grants beyond the Rocky Mountains will see
the necessity Of taking care of themselves and
will at once set about it The letter writer ex-
presses the conviction, that if tho United States
do not extend their jurisdiction over the Ore,
gon region before another year, that the people
will meet ia Convention, organize a Republic.
and declare their independence. Necessity
will compc. them to this step, as it will be in
possible to conduct the affairs and guard the in
tercst Of population so numerous and wide.
spread without the superin,cnlenco Of some Ma.
tional Government. The predictions of the
writer are, doubtless, well founded. The in.
fat colony will be grown 10 manhood before
It's decided who its daddy" is The saucy
giant Of a baby may then snap his fingers atthe
pair Of parental claimants, and set up business
on "his own hook, asking no odds of the old
folks" Such is most likely 10 be the result, if
the negotiation about the Oregon lasts twelve
months longer A separate and independent
goveumon; will be formed by the cmigrants,
and afterwards, al the right time, and when all
things arc ready, ihcre will be another annexa-
lion-anl who shall SET limits to the union Of
free s,alcs-io the expansion Of LiboItys do.

CczRsels 10 The Young .-Resolve to form
yourselves upon some certain principles, and to
regulate your aclious b. fixed rules. Man
was made to be governed by reason, and not By
mere accident or caprice 1t is important.
therefore, that you begin early TO consider and
enquire, what is the prors- course OF human
conduct, and to form some plan for your future
lives The want OF such consideration is man
ifesi in the conduct Of muliiiudes They arc
governed by the impulse Of the moment reck-
less Of consequences They have fixed no
steady aim, and have adopted no certain princi-
pies Of action. Living thus at random, il would
be a miracle if you went uniformly right Ia
order 10 your pursuing right path, you must
know what Il is, and to acquire this knowledge
you must divest yourself OF tbOUghtleSs giddi-
ness you must take time for serious reflection.
Ii will not answer to adopt, without eonsidera-
ton, the opinions ofthose who may be about
you, for they may have some sinister design in
regard 10 you, or hey may themselves be mis-
led BY error or prejudice. Persons already
involved in dissipation, or entaLgled 10 error,
naturally desire to keep themselves 10 counie-
nance BY the number Of followers they can &c
duce into the path Of vice. As reasonable erea-
lures, therefore, Judge for yourselves the course
