THE TERM .wHIG..-wHAr IT MEANS.

We are well reminded by Southern paper, that
before Mr.. CALHOUN allied himself with the party
now ascendant in the Government he seemed TO
be greatly charmed with the appropriateness Of the
term Whig So strong indeed were the impress
sions made upon his mind by the abuses Of power,
by the then leaders of "the Democracy" that he
even sanctioned the use of the old Revolutionary
name of Tory An extract from his remarks on
this subject, made in the Senate in 1899, may not
be inappropriate at this time, as his views may
serve to remind some of his present followers Of
what he then thoughtof them. He then said:

Now, what are the articles of silk manufacture
which, under the existing tariff pay ad Ualoren
duties, and what those which pay specific duties
So far as we can find enumeration of the articles
subject to ad ualorem Duties they are as follows
Boiling cloths, manufactures of silk mixed with gold
silver, other metal umbrellas, parasos and
silk shirts and drawers; silk caps, urbans ornaments for
headdresses, aprons collars capes cus mantias pernes
and all other articles of silk made up by hand in whole or in
part and not otherwise provided for These excepting the
boting cloths pay adj uaem Duties varying from thirty
to forty per cent rE
The articles paying specific duties are
Manufactures Of silk specified 81 so per pound, equal
BY the Treasury valuation to 81 per dd ralorc.
Sowing silks and silk twists So per pound equal to SO per
cent. ad rolorem.
Pongee and plain white silk $3.50 per pound equal to 40
per cent. od ualorem.
Raw silk and silk in the gum 80 cents per pound equal to
l6 per cent dd Uaioren
The importation of Shoes slippers hats and bonnets is so
trifng as not to need noticing
We believe that the whole subject is now before
our readers /; and we have the authority of the Sc
cretary OF the Treasury, (Mr. SPENCER in March,
ls44,) as quoted by Mr.. MCKAY, in his report to
the House OF Representatives, as chairman of the
Committee of Ways and Means, for Saving tba,
when the rich belle Of the season., introduced 4,
the gallant editor Of the Union.- se,er,.d $50.
beautifully fine gauzeike, transparent silk scarfs
or mantillas, or ball-dresses, dainty 6oursd and
colored," she paid price for them which embodied
either an ad raloren duty of from thirty to forty
per cent, or specific duty which, according to the
aforementioned authorities, was equal on an aver.
age to hirfy-one per cent ad palorem.
Further, /" Mrs. John Smith, the workinpmau's
wife," the other lady introduced by the "oicial y
editor, when she bought her Sunday gown" paid
for il price which had been affected by an ad ga
loren duty Of thirty-one per cent. The official re-
turns and reports, and the phraseology of the tariff
ITSELF DO not enable to say whether the belle Of
the season had the advantage Of one per cent or
not over mrs. John Smith !" but if she had il
was all she could have, and it would be much more
than counterbalanced on the superstition Of . the
Union " that the latter purchases only one dress in
two years. whilst the former makes large selections
every year.
II we have arrived at wrong conclusions
we make no pretension to infalability---the fault
rests with the official reports, and not with u.s. We
have quoted fairly, and have endeavored to SGT not
only the truth but the phoe ruth before our readers.

THE FLOUR MARKET.

FROM THE ALBANY EVENING JOURNAL OF OCTOBER 10.
The intelligence received by the last steamer and the ship

class Of in the State than the Western mes Nor are
there any businessmen less likely, judging from their general
sagacy and TACT to be always losing in speculation what they
make by industry, diligence and economy There is no
branch Of business that would YIELD if pdeny conducted
better returns and yet there that has proved uni

moral worth, who had they observed single rule would
have been worth twice many hundred thousand dollars
That rule not to purchase wheat at speculative prices after
the close Of navigation few weeks before harvest The

summer that the world is to be shortened in its supply Of the
stan OF Iofgct tnese tnlngs reguat
