Il would be idle for to affect indifference to the
proceedings of the House of Representatives to-
day. But we do not mean to mingle our own
humble matters with the great questions which are
now before Congress. Pass the reforms which the
administration has recommended in the name of
the peoples the tariff bill, which, in despite of the
democratic senator Of Connecticut, is still the great
question Of the day, and the great question, too, Of
the counry-psss the constitutional treasury bill,
according to the pledges Of the Baltimore conyen-
tion-adopt the warehousng and the graduation
systems-an who will not agree with us that this
is one Of the most brilliant sessions which Con-
gress has ever Witnessed What if we have suffer-
cd to-day--sufered in the retrospective operation
ofthe joint resolution, 1--WE complain Of nothing
else in what has been dons;) yet let the great work
Of the country be accomplished and we shall be
the first to honor the passing Congress That these
reforms may go on they have begun, we waive
the discussion of our own case until more season.
able opportunity shall arrive. We had the possible
result Of this days proceedings fully in our
"mind's eye" when, on the second of this month,
we said in this paper:
"What sacrifices Of personal comfort, what cares,
what labor, what exertions have made to sup
port the great principles Of the republican party and
the rights of the country and with ,oha soiictuds
hare sought to keep this great party united, is not for
US to say. We have not pleased every man. We have
offended some without intending it, We have
sought every fair and honorable means to bind the
party together. But zoe hare failed in proptiating
some preudices ,rhsrs do not hesitate to say
should hare succeededp
"Mave we not, then, the right Of expressing orr
opinions freely on the tariff, without reproach or
personal animadversion from any representative of
the people, although we printers to Congress-
They may sacrifice US, if they please. They may
cut at our Office if they desire it. 1t is their right
as it is their duty regulate its pay, the
of executing the public work. We have no RICH,
to complain; but we pray Mr. Brinkerhoff and
other members to leave at least our independence
and our principles" .m
No vote of Congress affect that independence
and those principles We are still freemen, and we
mean to remain so.

THE TARIFF IN NEW ENGLAND.

We have seen with regret the course which has
been taken on the tariff bill by the republican sem
ator from Connecticut. The following criticism on
his speech comes from citizen of New England,
whose name is well known to the nation. He bet
ter acquainted with the democratic sentiment of the
north than even Mr.. Niles himself
HISTORY SET RIGHT-THE NORTHERN DEMoC-
RACY NOT IN FAVOR oP THE TARIFF OF 1912.
To the Editor of The Union:
In the report Of the speech of the Hon. Mr..
Niles, senator from Connecticut, in yesterdays
Union, I observe the following statement, which !
read with surprise, and have not a doubt that
three-fourths, at least, Of the democracy Of New
England will read it with equal surprise The pas
sage to which allude is as follows.
After few Introductory remarks, in speaking OF
the tariff of ls42, Mr.. Niles said: "The act Of
1s42 had cper been object Of assault on the part OF
the democracy ofthe north. On the contrary, IL toas
the object Of defence. Certain details had been OBJ.
iected to-some of its provisions had been regarded
"a discriminating uniusty; but these objections had
been urged chiefly for the purpose of meeting the
extravagant pretonsions in its favor set up by the
other side"
That Mr.. Niles is mistaken in his recollection OF
the sentiments Of the democracy of New England
every northern democrat knows. | profess TO
know something Of the sentiments of the democ-
racy Of that section Of the Union on this well as
on other subjects; and | do not hesitate TO aver
that out Of the States Of Connecticut and Vermont,
the democracy Of that portion Of the Union have
very generally opposed the tariff of 1912
from the very first moment Of its passage TO the
present time. | might first point to the State Of
Massachusetts In that State the most eminent ad.
vocatcs of the democratic cuase have opposed the
tariff Of 1912 need mention only the names Of
such men as the Hon. George Bancroft our present
able and es,imable Secretary Of the Navy, Hon
Robert Rantoul, IT., Hon. David Henshaw, and
Hon. Benjamin F. Hallett, who are among the
ablest Of the democratic party of Massachusetts and
New England.
The democratic press Of Massachusetts, has also
| been opposed to the tariff of 1912, almost without
exception, from its passage. Among the most con.
| spcuous, will name the "Bosten Post" the abes
as well as one of the soundes democratic journals in
New England, and the Lowell Advertiser" ar
able journal published in the very midst Of the man
ufacturing monoposts Of New England. do moi
hesitate to say, from my knowledge of the democra
cy Of Massachusetts,, that a very decided majority
Of that party in that State have BEEN and are now
opposed to the tariff Of lst2 and hat they nspsr hav
| defended H.
And what is the state Of sentiment among Ii,
The daily union. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1845-1857, 1846-07-21

ACE Of such manifestations of the popular will, they
arc altogether unnecessary" because, being self
contradictions, they cannot but be Intellectual, even
petitions in its favor are Unnecessary, because
wholly superhuous. The will of the people is au.
chemically aseertained without. them. ....
The Inteligeneer says further "Unsought by the
country, unsolicited by any direct voice Of people the
proposed reduction OF the tariff is the voluntary
move Of power and Of party only, in The enforced
discharge Of personal pledges betossn politician and pol
tetan, the price Of former and Of further support
II Is the voluntary move of the people holding
"Power't nd welding ''power" through the forms Of
the constitution. II is the move of "party" true
to the principles in the strength of which it has tr-
umphed, and to the sacred obligation of which it
now in good faith responds. The redemption OF
such pledges will, we doubt not, be "ths price" Of
at least '.fiTthr support"
Such is the argument Of the Integencer's two
columns on the fright of petition" as applied to
ture, by "her very privilege are not to be QUESTIONED
sssshsrs Or Thai they may say IN The course Of pro-
essdngs there" What doctrine is this for the press
Of a free county-and that a press which has
exhausted every resource Of abuse and of calumny
against the administration Away with such driv-
cling! Il is the prerogative Of free press TO
question every public man for the performance of
his public duty everywhere. 1t is a Prsrogative
which We at least have renquished, and shall
never relinquish.
Having exhausted its logic in such precious pas
sages these, the Intellgencer proceeds through
column Of very discreditabe defamation. IL luxu-
rates in the citation Of the most arbitrary of the
Tudors and the most impudent Of the stuarts;" sol
Caliphs, and Sultans, and shahs of Turkey, Persia,
or Morocco !" "of dwarfs and eunuchs of the pal.
ace;" "of Philip drunk and Philip sober" With
these phrases we have no concern. They and their
associations belong TO no American topic. When
applied in defamation Of the American government,
the lnelligeneer applies them, they disgrace the
columns Of an American journal. No wonder that
the metropolitan lnteigeneer pointed at and stig
matzed as the Foreigners Organ, when its tongue
is black with such venom as this against an Amerl-
can administration called by the people to power,
and now redeemng its pledges to the people Such
abuse is harmless as it is gratuitous. Ii only
shows that desperate strait Of defeat and detection
under which the wing organ now labors in its at
tempt to get up "panc" by false pretsnces, and so
to fssify the great of the people. But the vi
tuperaton Of the Intelgencer, bad il is, is quite
as good as its logic. When,t can persuade the peo-
pie that "Caliphs, and Sutans and ShahS" have been
sent up to Washington by the popular voice to form
an administration, thsn and not before, will il
vince the country also, that the tariff of 1912 should
not be modified or repealed

SIR ROBERT PEEL.

We lay before readers copious extracts from
the eloquent and impressive speech which the min
lister delivered in the House Of Commons on the
close Of his administration. II breathes liberal and
conciliatory spirit; but there is passage in the
speech which we find it difficult TO reconcile to sub
sequent events. The following is the extract:
"Mr. Pakenham, knowing the spirit Of his
government, being aware OF the occurrence Of these
hostilities, having discretionary power in certain
cases. If he had thought this offer would have been
likely to prolong negotiations or diminish the chance
Of successful issue, yet wisely thought the occur
renee Of Mexican hostities with the United States
was not one of the cases to which had adverted,
and therefore most wisely did he tender this offer
Of peace to the United States his discretion,
and the confidence of his government. Now let me
say-and | am sure this house will think II to the
credit Of my noble frend-that the occurrence OF
these hostilities between Mexico and the United
States, before were aware of the reception which
the offer on our part would meet with, the first
packet that sailed rendered to the United States the
offer of our good Offices for the purpose Of mediation
between them and the Mexican government Loud
cheers Sir do rejoice, therefore, that, before
surrendering power at the feet Of majority OF this
house. had the opportunity Of giving them the OH
cial that every cause OF quarrel with that
great country on the other side of the Atlantic Is
terminated, before we retire from Office. Loud
cheers.l Sir, | feel that have now executed the
task which my public duty imposed upon me-"
We have already stated more than once that no
offer of mediation had been submitted to our gov
eminent, and feel ourselves authorized to repeat
the declaration. Sir Robert Peel was no doubt under
the impression which he avowed; but no such Offer
has been made, and we doubt very much whether
the able minister of Great Britain in Washington
mas vet received instructions to this effect.
