VICE PRESIDENT DALLAS AND HIS
CONSTIT u ENTS

We are gra,itied 10 in the Philadelphia
Keystone, an apProba,ory letter from about two
hundred of Mr.. Dallas's immediate friends, for
the course pursued by him. in casting his vote for
the Reform Tariff bill. He replies to it at length
and with overwhelming force, and concludes as
follows:
"It is not my desire. in this letter of acknowI-
edgment. to vindicate the new and enlarged sys
lem of commercial intercourse which the Ameri-
can people have determined TO enter upon To
wards that system. however. no observing man
can avoid seeing that all Chrstendom as if by 81
multaneous impulse, is rapidly tending 1t is the
offspring of expanding Liberty and prolonged
Peace; and feel such unwaverng confidence in
the enterprise, skill, spirit, hardihood and perse
yerance of my countrymen, that ! cannot doubt,
however severe the sacrifice involved in begun
ming may be, that the end of generous and uni
veTsaI competition must be their triumph over all
the rest of the world
am. truly and respectfully,
Your fellow citizen and friend,
g. NJ. DALLAS"

DANIEL WEBSTER-AND THE RICH
MOND TIMES

This distinguished pauper, and feed attorney
of the old L. S. Bank, and latlerly the pensioner
OF the eastern manufacturers, put himself forward
IN the SENATE as the spologist of WiHiam II
Hdy,Dood, IN the course of which argument he
attempted To read lecture to the editor of the
Union, which is thus noticed by our cotemporaries
of the Richmond Times -
The unprecedented attack Of the Wasbioo,on
Union, upon Senator, so lately the s,b;oo, e -.
laudatIons, has elected from Mr.. Webster Terri
Bile rebuke. II will be said, we presume Tho,
Mr.. Webster IS no better than Mr. Havyood .
and as Mr.. Haywood is openly charged with base
corruption, we cannot expect his assatlanfs f., -,
frain from imputations equally injurious agains,

another form it would have been found ,b,, ,ho
indomitable frmness and honesty Of greater maj
than Webster, saved him from falling lowe, h.
the lowest depth of contempt.
Although the charges Of Mr.. Iogersoll were No,
sustained, the PEOPLE have not forgotten tina,

the reason that he was unable to effect any thing
Neither have they forgotten that he received a

Tor letter, which committed. as FAR as his act
could do it, this country to the shaving shops y
of Europe.
And above all. they have not lost sight of the
fact. that Daniel Webster is now the purchased
bond slave of the manufacturers, at the price of
one hundred thousand dollars, the interest of
which sum is paid to him at stated periods
Now, 1t is limited that these very manuafac-
turers are the cause Of the deep degradation of
Haywood if such is the fact, then was his advo-
cate every way worthy of his client. and we may
write over their names "par mobile fratup,." and
give JOY to our friends in Richmond for the glory
of their cause.

We were somewhat surprised this morning on
opening the Norfolk Herald. to find paraoraph

OF the Federal press for year past to keep the

April last. and now they are sending him off on
a foreign missinn-but it wont do. The pb;I,-
dephia Ledger correspondent, by Magnetic Tele-

WASHINGTON, August d, 1876
" hasten TO inform you that the u. S. Senate
to-day confirmed the nomination Of Col .James
Page, as Collector of the PORT of PhiladeInbia
and Judge Robert c. Grier, Of PiusburT as

So that game is blocked.
