Omr Candidates.

~ Ia aaother Column will be found the pro-
seedlings of the Convention of Delegates
which assembled in Wilmington on Tuesday
- last, for the purpose Of nominating Candidates
-fof 4he: Legislature: 1t will be noticed that
all thu districts were not represented. This
we presume was owing in great measure to
ths<alarm which pervades the minds of our
country friends, on account-of the Small Pox.
a majority however was represented. and we
feel confident, that the ticket which the Con-
xOntion has presented to the county, is such
as will meet the cordial appreciation of every
Democrat. They are all good and true men,
They are all capable, and we know they will
ba all faithful to the trust about to be reposed

The Tariff.

The Committee of Ways and Means, Of
which Gen. Mckay is Chairman, has at last
reported tariff bill. We give below sy-
nopSis Of its principal features. 1t is substan
TALLY tho same as that drawnup by Mr.. WAL
ker for the use OF the Committee. There is,
perhaps, no task more difficult than to frame
a tariff bill, so as to suit the views Of all clas-
SEES and all sections. The interests, the
views, and the feelings Of those whose pur-
suits and occupations are SO diverse
those Of the people of the United States, spread
as they are over a vast extent of territory. re-
quire at the hands of those who frame q tariff
bill, degree of experience and judgment with
which few men are gifted. That the present
bill has been framed with a view to meet the
interests Of all sections, we believe, but still
that there are some features in it, which, as
an individual and Democrat, we cannot en-
tirely approve of, we are free to confess. AS
an instance, we notice that Tea and Coffee are
put down amongst the list Of free articles,
whilstSugario taxed 80, and Salt 90 per cent.
Now, according to our notions, Tea and Cof-
fee ought TO be taxed as we'll as Sugar and
Salt. Are not Saltand Sugar as much neces-
saries Of lie as Tea and Coffee Certainly.
We think they are. Sugar and Salt, however,
are Produced in the United States, whilst Tea
and Coffee are not. The Sugar makers of
louisiana, and the new State of Texas, want
TO get better price for the product of their
plantations, and therefore duty Of 80 per
cent. is imposed. There is, however, one
feature in the bill which we cannot too high.
" commend. Bv it the duties are laid ad va
loren. The minimum and specific princi-
pies are entirely discarded. Every one can
now know, by referring to the bill, what tax
he pays upon every thing he purchases. We
shall allude to the subject again.
From and after the LIST December next the du-
ties on imports shall be as follows:
Goods TO pay IS per cent nd raIorem.-Bran.
dy and other spirits, cordials.
Goods to pay 81 per cent. ad vaOrem.-Ala-
baster, almonds" anchovies. German silver, gold
AID silver embroidery; articles worn by men, wo-
men. and children, made wholly or in part by
hand; asses, skins, balsams, cosmetics, &C.; has
