The Tariff.

I Up to tie 23d inst. the Wigs and Tariff Demo
crass in the L. 5. Senate sFeectiyiag against
the reform tariff bill. THIS is done in the hope of
killing time, and thus endeavoring to give the meas
ure the ego by,-for of course they cannot ex ,ect
to change the welmatured opiuion of tie country by
their speeches at this time of day On this subject
the Journal Of Commerce has the following uppropri
ate remarks:
THE IRoN- Mex AGAINST THE CoUxrRr.-The ques-
ton seems 20 be fairly at ISSUE whether one interest
shall rule the country, and that an interest more stall
fed on protection tban any other Men who have
(some Of them leas0 been clearing their whole In
vestments in year, are thronging the Senate, and
besiegng every member with al The arguments al
luremenis and iniimidations, which immense wealth
can present What mOnstrous exhibition it is
How 1t makes every patriot anxious for tie purity of
legislation, when lie knows that influence more cor
rupng than that Of the Z. S Bank is thus striving
TO destroy the freedom Of elections IF the Tariff
bill should not pass, can the most painful suspicious
be prevented to the cause! How great calamity
it is that there should be an Interest, or a combna-
ton of interests, country, who can afford 10
pay hundreds Of thousands of dollars corrupt the
elections when they pending, and corrupt the men
who chosen, after the eectionI This is a comb-
nation, not OF interests common TO the country at
large, but against the country, combination Of
men, not TO establish liberty and security bat monop
oily, excessive profits, at the expense of the labor of
the country. How has Mr.. Niles been turned about
from the princip pies of the who elected him; and
IS common with apostates, berating with ten-fOld
hatred the men and the PRINCIPLES whom he has lust
deserted. He denounces Tariff because the officers
of the Customs were consulted by the Head of the
Treasury preparatory framing a bill. Those Off
the ttest persons in the world to consult
on such OCCASION They are the men whom every
financial Minister of every government, the world
over, would consult They DISTINGUISHED, and ac-
quainted with the subjects ali t-cir details; and
their time is at the command of the government.
How incomparably more fit 70 assist in the making
cf Tariff these officers of the Customs than the
swarms who made the Tariff of 1872 each one cry
ing Protect - :" Protect me - That Tariff if
we NAV believe the declaration of one likely to know
was actually framed and agreed upon in grand log
rolling assembly holden In this city. Now how is
| it, The proper representatives, of the people, by
their committees, have. with great labor prepared
bill; and if the representatives, of the people were
left TO their discretion, the bill would unques-
tionaby pass What patriots are they who now in
terfere to prevent II! They the men who impu-
IDENTIFY insist that every farmer who uses dollars
worth of ron shall not only pay dollar and a half
for IT, for this the bill ensures. but greater
sum; two dollars at least They demand that iron
shall never be cheaP,-that however much it may de-
cline elsewhere, it shall never decline here. Who
set bounds TO the corrupng influence of proiec-
tion and its Of corruption. It has corrupted
one whole section Of our country from its avowed,
well-considered opinions, and brought it round indi-
ydually and collectively TO disavow and repudiate
those opinions. What a melancholy subject Of con-
temptation is here But we feel confident that the
bill before the Senate under the circumstances most
excellent bill, Will pass. 1t is measure demanded
by vast majority of the country; by the purity Of
our political Institutions; by the example Of the
world; by position among the nations. Our
honor our interests every consideration demands the
passage of this bill If Senators who were elected
do fa,cL
find that it has made diSgraceful mark upon them.
WHICH will not be easily eaced. If the iron interest,
which has been treated with such great beraty by
the trainers Of this BILL and whose position under it
would be most prosperous,-if they by any means are
able defeat the bill, say with great propri-
ETY. that they will have no claim to consideration
hereafter If know anything, their is
only of great injustice, but of monstrous folly;
and must react with vengeance upon their own heads
The great agricultural interest, all the interests OPP
pressed by protection, who as ten TO one Of their
oppressors cannot always be oppressed If such
bill this viii not satisfy the cravings Of
the manufacturers, then the effort should be aban-
\ doued as hopeless, and different policy adopted.
We hope that something will bring about real
and true division the subject. Here are the mise
rable politicians of Pennsylvania, crying "Polk
Dallas and Free Trade" and not hesitatng to avow
the fraud in the face of the nation and by that
shifting the real free trade opinion of their State.
+ They are Bank Democrats, Tariff Loco Focos, any,
thing for Office. We hope it will be known in Penn
sylvana and Connecticut hereafter, as we have no
doubt it WILL that the Democratic party party for
Free Trade; and that all attempts to blink the ques-
ton, will be abortion. The interests of Pennsylva-
MA are clearly the side of free trade Protection
does affect her coal In the least and cannot; for
coal is cheaper there, and in other parts Of
try, than any where else in the world. 1t is tie
Reading Railroad, the Schuylkill and Lehigh, and
Delaware and Hudson Canals, which make coal cheap.
There is imported which is at all the thing
with our coal, nor is the quantity imported now or
ever to be of the least Importance in fixing the
ket price. Pennsylvania is cheated by her politicians
in this respect and some Golden must and will arise
to disspate the shameful delusion. Let the battle
rage, if rage it must 1t will only the more
perfect triumph Of truth.
GFThe Louisville Democrat pops lick into our
!, neighbOr thus:
The Indiana Journal is so enraged at the Wings
who have publicly declared their approval of Gov.
Whtcomb's course that he lets off the following
against them:
's9Ress csrtifers may NOW approve It, lchea has
management resalted IN the advancement Of their
personal aspirations but many Of them did not dp-
prors Il until that accomplishea.'
Is it not more probable that those dissatisfied with
Whitcomb are so so because they could not get Office
The same paper contains the following, which viii
relieve some of our Wing editors as well as those
the Louisville Journal
, We can now relieve our neighbor who was some
days ago dying with curiosity if he is yet alive
