BRITIsH legislation.
Resolved, That in the language of the
Senate Resolutions, .'ihe Tariff of ls42,
produces no more than sufficient revenue
to defray the necessary expenses Of the
general government, and affords only an
adequate incidental protection to Amerl-
can Industry and American Manufactures
against foreign competition and foreign
policy, and consequent encouragement
to commercial enterprise, to agricultural
pursuits, and to the development OF our
own internal resources. z-
Resolved, That the miserabiy abortive
attempts by few members OF the House
to pass resolutions condemnstory-ze the
Tariff of 1912, is, we tear, bu, the en-
,ering wedge of an open systematic op-
position on the part of the Loco party, to
the protective system, to be hereafter
waged, when it is necessary again to sue
cumb to the South in the choice of Pre-
sident.

can saw. in the language of Baker, noble
whig member Of congress from Illinois,
"what may be in future, We 90 not pre-
tend TO foresee, but of one thing we are
certa in, we shall abide the fortunes OF the
whig party cheerfulIy and gladly and that
we would rather be wings defeated, than
successful modern democrats"
