THE DISTRICT OF COLIJMR1A


Congress have done wisely in receding to Vir-
GINA all that portion of the District of Columbia
originally coded by that State, as part ofIhe ten
miles square. Ii contains about thirty or thirty
i've square miles, or about one third Of the Dis
trct Being separated from the other portion by the
Potomac. 1t was perfectly useless to the seat of
government, and participated in none of its bene-
hts. II was too remote from the capital for public
buildings or boarding houses and hotels, and there
fore received nothing of The sums which strangers,
and officers Of the government, both ysitant and
resident. continually pour into Washington and
Georgetown. II received, in common with the
Of the District, the legislative protection Of
Congress. But practically, this amounted TO lii
tie, except occasional appropriation from the
National treasury, to pay the debts of the Dis
trict. II is now restored to Virginia, and will
participate in all the benefits, Whatever they nav
be, if any, which the Government Of State can
confer upon all its citizens.
The people of Alexandra are rejoicing in this
restoration, anticipating from it the revival of
thelr trade; and one Of these profound political
philosophers, the letter writer's for the CONNER
cia newspapers, says that it will rapidly revive
since lis emancipation from " the trammels Of
loco foco legislation" 1t adds that the boon would
have been greater, had Congress receded it free
from debt, or in other words, paid its debt of
100000 before the recession. We hope that
the expectations of the Alexandrians will be full
filed, but fear the contrary. Cities are not built
by legislative acts, and commerce does not rise
upon paper and ink, resolutions" and manifestos

THE, FREE. LIST

ne LID
In the Tariff Bill reported to Congress by the
Committee of Ways and Means, there are several
articles, not the growth of the United States, and
which are imported into this country, upon which
no duty is proposed to be laid. We do not intend
To notice all these articles. We will speak only
OF two of them-Coffee and Tea These, should
the bill reported by Gen. Mckay be adopted by
Congress, will be admitted duty free. Under
present circumstances, with foreign war upon our
hands, and consequen, large increase in our en-
penditures, we think that il would not be good
policy to continue these two articles on the free
Iis' IL is said that they are necessares of life
mat they are consumed by the poor man, and that,
therefore, they have claims on the free list But
we cannot see the force of this, especially when
we turn to other portions of the same bill and find
that Iron Is taxed 80, and Sugar and Salt 90 per
cent ad valorem. Now we would ask the rea
der, 1t Sugar, Salt and Iron, are not more the ne
cessarIes of life than Coffee and Tea DO they
not enter as largely into the CONSUMPTION Of The
poor man as Coffee and Tea2 Sill these latter
are admitted duty free, whilst the former are
taxed. Why is this? We know of but one soIr-
ZION Sugar, Iron and Salt, are made in the Uni
ted states, and their producers here must have
inc foreign article taxed. in order to prevent com
petition. On the other hand Coffee and Tea are
mol grown In the United tates,--consequentIy
hee is no class to be protected against the foreign
article. But we ask, when money is wanted for
The national defence, would it not be well to Law
moderate duty on these articles. Certainly thew
can bear il as well as Sugar and Salt And most
certainly the people of the Union would much
sooner pay little more for these articles than in
cur national debt, which must, one day or an
other, be paid off by taxes, in some shape.
