! The three great bills of the season, namely,
the British tariff, the Sub. Treasury, and the
Warehouse bill, have now been passed, and
will soon become laws. Either, by itself, would
have been enough 10 rouse any people not be-
numbed by he deadly grippe OF party; but if all
three together do not prove dose that will
physic even The iron state, and purge her of
her supplying Locofoism, her case is hope
less one, and she may be given up.
Ii seems as if the administration, no, having
The fear Of The people before its eyes, bu, ns.i-
gated by the devil, have resolved 10 do as much
mischief and injury 10 The North as possible,
aud to see how long the patience and uncom-
planning endurance Of the people OF Pennsylva-
MIA will hold out, and what degree Of injury,
and suffering, and insolence they will bear with
out their political feaIly and loyalty being sha.

sylsanan 10 listen TO the remarks Of the South
rrn ati.iocra,ic democrats upon the people of
Pennsylvania. They seem 10 consider them
sci of stupid doit heads whose souls are iron
aud whose brains are coal; who know nothing
and care for nothing but democracy, and OF tha,
only the name, and who are 10 be managed as
other stupid and bigoued people are managed.
They laugh al the idea of Pennsylvania array
ing herself against the South, think it possible
that she may take the passage of the British
tariff bill lil,le hard a, first, and perhaps scold
ule about il; but ,ha. finding it useless 10 fret
about it.-.tha, The democratic party have resolved
that the country shall enjoy the blessings and
benefits of glorious free trade, she will fall in

be as peaceful and docile, and work as kindly
in the party traces as ever---content SO she can

have seen it stated that the issue is now
between the North and the Sou,h---be,ween the
free States aud slave States. This is not the
fact ; i, is between American labor and foreign
labor---be,we cen those who would protect, foster
and encourage The labor and The products Of the
labor of their own country, and those who would
encourage and protect the labor and products o

stated it, several of The Southern States will bs

States will be found standing shoulder 10 shoul

that will be found arrayed in favor of American
labor, are North Carolina, Georgia aud Ten

arIsyed against the protection OF American la
Dor, are Maine, New Hampshire. and n. York
