government editor pours forth such a tor.

leading Democrats in Congress, and 10
them we refer the organ of the Adminislra-
ton for Information as TO their motives
and purposes. They will perhaps let him
into their counsels, Of which are know no
more than what common report says.
The government paper seem to have Ia
ken up the idea what we desire an early
adjournment of Congress 10 defeat the
proposed reduction Of the tariff. Not so.
We do not so much fear the adyersaries
OF the great Americas interests involved
in the tariff question as TO be afraid to
meet them. We feel an entire confidence
in the ability of the people, through their
Representatives. to protect themselves up
on question like this, which comes home
TO their business and their firesides, aud con-
Germs the food and the raiment of the hum
blest individual in every class Of soI: sty
which depends upon the wages OF daily la
Dor for daily bread. No: let them come on,
and DO their worst. We shall al least have
The whole people for interested spectators of
the contest: and, shOuid victory side with
the enemies of the protective principle, we
shall have the consolation ofknowing that
the PEOPLE have in their own hands the
power to redress such an abandonment of
their interests, and will not fail to exer-
else il. .....- TIT
We're we capable Of being governed by
party considerations merely, without re-
ference to the general interest of this great
Commonwealth, we should desire no
more effective arms against the now do
minant party than the party itself would
furnish us by the twin measures of the
prostration OF the Tariff and the establish
ment of the Sub-treasury system.
