A STRIKING FACT.

A few days ago Mr.. CAMERON, of Pennsylvania,
presented TO the Senate the proceedings of meet
ing of Democratic citizens residing in the valley
OF Wyoming, expressing their entire opposition to
any alteration in the tariff of 1912 - among the
prominent actors at which meeting was HENDRICKS
b. WRIGHT, Esq, the President of the Baltimore
Convention which nominated Polk and Dallas, and
by which the famous resolutions were adopted of
which so much has been said, and in conformity to
the doctrines of one Of which Mr.. DALLAS profess
ed TO consider himself pledged to give the casting
vote in favor of /" the British tariff "a tariff Of
which Senator CAMERON truly said " If the bill
had been drawn by British statesman it could not
have Disseminated more in favor of British work
men "a tariff of which Senator NILES declared
in his place "not one-third of the Senators APP
proved "a tariff which Senator BENTON brands as
contradictory, incomprehensible grossly defective
and fraudulent And yet such tariff, thus dis
paraged by those who voted for Titus confessedy
crude and impractcable in its Details and threaten
ing in its results the most disastrous consequences
this tariff, repudated and scofed at by considera-
BILE number of the very men who, under some
strange infatuation, have nevertheless voted for it
this odious and Inefficient measure, which is 10
bankrupt the Treasury, to lead to large national
debt to diminish the wages of labor, to derange the
currency, to check our manufacturing prosperity,
TO cripple commerce, and TO paralyze agriculture
this abominabe measure has been forced upon the
country by means which even its own friends dare
not ayow, and which they shrink from char
acterizing And this is done, too, in pretended
conformity with pledge said to have been given in
the resolutions Of the Baltimore Convention in the
teeth Of the fact that the President Of that Conven
ton is seen among the number Of its active oppo-
nents, and uniting with his Democratic /" neigh
bors of Wyoming in the declaration that Polk and
DALLAS never would have been nominated by that
body had it been presumed that they were oppos-

THE TARIFF -LocoFoco CoNsIsTENcY.-Ist there
not something curious in the fact that party claim
ing TO be essentially American in its character-par
excellence the Democratic party, the men who nave
an exceeding love for the people-are doing their
best to destroy the business of the country, and
open ports to admit the pauper labor of Europe
In the discussion Of this question during the last
election, they told that the present Tariff raised
too much revenue and must be reduced I; and now
they tell us that it does NOT giue enough, and must
still be reduced to raise more. standing theme OF
their orators has been that the country imported too
much-that that the cause of the distress and
embarrassment in the last great revulson which the
country underwent! "Over-trading," " over-im-
portations," rang through the country, until the
people were made to believe that this was almost
the sole cause of the evils under which our trade
and financial concerns labored. Now, when they
succeed in reducing this tariff some fifty per cent,
we must buy twice much as before of foreign
nations to raise the amount of funds to carry
on the Government. Is there not beautiful con-
sistency in all this Nashville Banner.

THE sUBTREAsURY BILL.

This measure, an innovation and novelty in our
administrative system-once already tried and de-
liberately and signaly condemned and renowned by
the peoplethis offspring of absractionism has pass
ed the Senate, and is again to vex and annoy the
country. If ever measure was demonstrated to be
and unwise, this Subtreasury scheme
was shown TO be SO by the debate which has taken
place on it. In the Senate as well as previously
in the House, the arguments against it were I'M
answerable that in the former body, the able gen.
temen who favored the bill did not attempt to an
swer them. But the " Baltimore Convention - had
willed it, and reason and experience and the public
convenience must yield. So the Government must
set about building vaults and iron safes in which to
keep secure, and free from bank contamination and
risk, the treasure of the Government its Treasury
notes. 1t is about as wise step as if man hav-
ing peck of corn to grind should set about build
ing mill for his own use.

ted IN the correspondence from this city in sundry
Northern papers that the subject Of elaboration has
been communication from the President of the

statement TO be correct, but in regard to the nature
Of the communication Of the President, we appre-
bend the speculaons of the writers are not entirely
The rumor in this city, in which we are inclined
to place reliance, is, that the Presidents commune
cation to the Senate contained proposition to be
empowered 10 treat with Mexico for peace, boun-
daries, &C., and asking for an appropriation of
sum of money the better to enable him to accom-
plish that purpose. We do not hear that any thing
has been done on this subject, and what the deci-
sion Of the Senate will be on it must be mere mat
ter of conjecture
If we may venture conjecture ourselves, il is
that the sentiment of the Senate will be- that as the
Administration rushed into this war without any
bodys advice or sanction, SO it will be holden on
Its proper responsibility to propose and settle terms
OF peace. We speak without authority, but such
we collect the most current and the most proba-
BILE opinion.

THE CHEROKEE TREATY.

We understand that the Commissioners appointed
TO investigate the Cherokee difficulties have finally
brought their abors to close and that the three De-
legations Thursday signed treaty Of twelve ar
tices for the adjustment of their difficulties among
themselves and the settlement Of all their affairs
with the United States We have not seen the
treaty, but have heard some of its details. They
are, generally
For the issuing Of patent the Cherokee lands granted
by the treaties Of 1888 and 1885, in accordance with the law
Of $780, (Which reserves the ultimate fee the United States
In case the Indians become extinct and for the enjoyment Of
said lands in common. For general amnesty among the
Indians the pardon of all past offences the privilege to all
Cheokees out of the country for any whatever
there free from molesaton prosecution the aboishng Of
all police Lighthouse regulations the assertion Of all the
great principles Of civil liberty, and the right all Cheokees
assemble and petition their nation the United States
for redress Of grievances and the mutual pledge of par
ties enforce wholesome laws and Of the United States
aid them, by delivering offenders to justice.
The treaty provides general principles for the settlement

Fifteen thousand dollars also divided among the orphans of
the Ridges and Boudno for losses consequence Of their
nations and S27, 900 given the Cherokee treasury
for some losses and national claims
The friends Of the Cherokees maintain that the
treaty is quite as favorable to the United States
to themselves, and the main inducement to them
was the restoration of peace among themselves.
The Commissioners thought the treaty equitable to
| all parties.
We understand that it is probable the President
will lay the report of the Commissioners and the
treaty before the Senate to day, he having approved
| it before it was signed by the Commissioners and
the Delegations. 1t is important that this treaty
should be ratified, and the appropriations under il
made. The very fact that the investigation has
been so laborious, and decision which acknow-
leges the justice of the complaints, prove that many
of the evils in the country may have grown out Of
unnecessary delays. The Indians having resolved
upon harmony among themselves, they should be
literally dealt with, it is far creditabe tc
give too much than too little to people who have
| suffered much.
