American Republican and Baltimore daily clipper. [volume] (Baltimore, Md.) 1844-1846, 1846-11-30

I forwarded in the forenoon, If quotations they
were, we're hieroglvphlcs. They we're adj
dressed TO the New York Sun, and must have
| reached New York, according to the time Ia
BILE Of this Office, thirty minutes past eleven. Hr.
| Beach knows best tOhen he gaze these, u at all,
| to his brother editors They we're as follows:
"Back l65, $50 lbs.
Lead SO per Dbl.
Stone to 5-S,
Flint Ia 10 SO
Brick 6 3 4 to I III.
Brass 99-corrccted, write instead Of lead.
| Now, if any set Of quotations were made up
from these enigmatical terms, and gave an er-
roneous impression, let .Ns,o York editors and
merchants look 10 Mr.. Beach, and not to the
| Telegraph, for redress. IT the editors had not
the benefit OF these emigmas, uRtithe long hours
Of The afternoon, instead ofby the hour OF noon,
when they certainly reached New York, lei
them settle that account, also, icih Mr. Beach.
And when they find the Telegraph fautless,
let the editors so decare-as that is all the ta-
Vor its agents ASK
Seeing that the telegraph has been thus used
by monopoliSts for purposes of fraud, it is rea-
sonabIe to coaclude that it will continue to be
50 used, unless the management Of it be taken
under the direction of the general government.
Every farmer and miller in the country, as well
as every merchant, is interested in having the
telegraph honestly conducted; and we venture
to assert, that if it continue to be controlled
by mOnopolists, the whole machinery will be
destroyed.
The most impartial and correct (and at the
same time, the most proStable) mode Of con-
Quoting the telegraph, would be, to forward
news to the Exchange Reading Rooms Of the
cities, to be entered upon the books or not as
might be deemed proper, and to authorize all
editors and others to copy it at a stated price
or else authorize the telegraph agent thus to
communicate it indiscrminately TO all persons,
who would pay for it. At present, the news is
sent 10 one editor, who takes Others into part
nership, to diminish his expenses. Thus, sup
posing the charge from Philadelph a to Balti-
more to be 25 cents for every ten words, this
sum is divided among three papers IN this city,
50 that each has to pay only eight and a third
cents Nov, instead Of thus permitting one
person to say which papers shall, and which
shall not, have tho advantage of the telegraph,
suppose that the price to each paper, or ndlVi-
dual receiving the news, were to be put at
eight cents for very ten words, the telegraph
would enhance its incoMe considerably and the
public could not be imposed upon.
w, see that the Philadelphia Spirit of the
Tin,ny init ,,atcs that tho iob
we have spoken, does not exclude honest men
from participating, We presume that the wri-
ter speaks somewhat from practical knowledge,
as tho Spirit of the Times, was for long
time, excluded from "lhe holy aance"--of
which the editor complained in bitter terms
but the sturdy mastif has been suddenly
changed into the cringlng spaniel SO that its
yelpjng one way or the other is OF little conse-
quence.
LATER FROM HAvANA-yHerican Letters Of
yunque Advces from Havana to the 18th
inst. have been received at New Orleans. The
Picayune says nothing has been done as yet
under the letters Of marque and naturalization
which Mexico has sent there for sale. From
very interesting commercial circular of the
18th inst. we extract paragraph touching
these letters:
We understand letters Of marque have been
received here from Mexico, ina letters of natu-
ra Iizatlon likewise, Tor sale. In the printed in
structons attached TO the letters Of maque, it is
stated that captures are to be taken 10 Mexican
purts, but # that is not practicable they are to
be carried to neutral ports, and will there be
condemned by the Mexican Consul. We be-
l,eve however, that by the treaties betYeen the
United States and Spain, the latter power can
neither allow privateers to be fitted out, in any
Of her ports, nor permit American vessels cap
ured and brought il, to be condemned ard We
nave good grounds for The conviction that our
will faithfully adhere TO these trea-
les. We suppose other governments at peace
prth the United States w,I act Oh the same
principles; and If So, rriVnt"crng enterprises
Will be rendered d,llicuh; beMdss which, the
ear of being treated as pirates 10y the American
'essels Of war, il likely to deter persons from
entGrInto them.
THE TARIFF Act. Tho Secretary of the
Treasury has published notice, thst the tariff
Ict, passed at the last session Of Congress, will
70 into operation on the first of December, Ito
norrow.) Our impressions are, that this act
will diminish the revenues of the country and
niure domestic manufacture; but others hold .
contrary opinion. Speculation on the sub
ect is now useless, as the effects of the act
will soon be felt for good or evil As we de-
ire only to promote tho Interests of the coun-
ry, We hope that the new tariff will accom-
,Iish all that has been predicted fer it by lis
friends.
SANTA ANNA. A good DEAL says the N. o.
