have lived through wing pacs before, and can hari-
ly permit themselves 10 be alarmed at the threat of
new pgnie now For ourselves, We believe the wing
efforts will be utterly fruiess against the tafh siu
just passed. IL stands upon too hrm basis 10 DC

Compared with the law of 1912, 1t will be sustained
among The people almost by reclamation IL Is mad
ness IN the wing party to provoke the comparison.
No issue more favorable to the democracy eoud
possibly be presented. The tariff OF 1912 was
doomed at it's very birth. IL was condemned again
in the canvass of 1874 II has been finally destroy
ed by the Congress OF 1886. Il can never be re-
vived. Il will crush any party which shall under
take its defence. ..... .. ...
ave lament the Unnecessary excitement which
the wings will raise this subject and we marvel
that they have learned little from their political
experience. But we have no fear OF tho result.
Whatever may be lost from local causes IN partieu-
lar sections, will be more than balanced by what
will be gained in the aggregate throughout the ma
ton. The days of class legislaton--of excessive
bountes levied upon the many Cor the benefit of the
few-haye passed away and struggle as they may,
the privileged classes cannot turn back the tide OF
events, or arrest the progress which the world -
making in favor of equal rights. moderate tariff,
equally arranged, is the only tariff which the coun-
try needs-the only tariff which the country will
tolerate. Such a tariff Is not the tariff OF lo42;
and hence the irreyocable fate which has destroyed
that bill The new measure Will go into effect In
December next. Experience will demonstrate It's
value. The only ruin il will produce will pc the
ruin Of exorbitant profits and unreasonable boun-
ties. It will equaliEe the public burdens and inn

ELECTION NEWS.

No western mail was received this evening. We
arc consequently without further news in relation to
the electionsin Indiana, Illinois, and Missouri
BY careful compilation Of the news by las,
nights mail, we discover that partial returns have
been received from about fifty counties in Indiana
which includes much the largest portion of the
State. From these returns, we have doubt Of the
reelection Of James Whitcomb, the democratic can
didate for governor and p. c. Dunning, the candi-
date for lieutenant governor, by from two to three
thousand majority. The Senate will be democratic
and the House whig.
We will endeavor to compile correct table of the
election news for tomorrow evenings paper.

hope, at the time, it will allay any fears that
may have been created in the bosoms of our Penn
sylvania brethren to the possibility Of any foreign
supply Of coal being of sufficient consequence to af
feet their interests materially.
Nova Scotia coal is extensively used in the eastern
States, and in New York by glass manufacturers,
smelters ofcopper ore, steamboats,, blacksmhs, and
for family purposes; and the reduction of duty is of
some importance TO these interests.
The import of foreign coal for the year si5 amounted
to $ls7 ,962
Duty 81 10 per ton Iso,22l
which duty was sxty.nine per centum on first cost.
The coal mines opened and at work in Nova Sro-
tia and the Island Of Cape Breton are three in num-
ber--viz: the Albion, Sydney, and the Bridgeport.
The first is six miles from the depot where vessels
of large size may receive cargoes. 1t produces a
kind of coal remarkable for its excellence, not
only for domestic use, but for the purposes of steam
and manufactures; and especially for the manufac-
ture of iron, account of the absence of sulphur in
its composition. The Sydney coal is highly btu
minous, gnites readily, gives strong, lasting heat,
and leaves but little ashes
