OF all the difficulties with which we. as Demo-

union. Our opponents manage these matters
much better Though totally opposed to each
other IN various sections Of the country, both in
principle and policy, yet whenever the con,es,
between them and the democratic party is to be
oecioed' when do we ever see their ranks divided

throwing power into the hands of their opponents.

Webster asked at what time it might be exnected
that the Committee would make lite report on the
subject of the independent treasury bill; whether
it would he reported with amendments, and if so
what would be the nature, and finally when il,
was probable that the subject would come before

TO give precedence, in the action of the Senate

This capital has doubled itself in few years.
The Merrimack has paid to its stockholders I6O
per cent OF their investment, and while these per.
sons say they can compete with England in the
China market, they pretend that they cannot
compete with her in This market. Why can they
not sell as cheap to Americans as they can to
Chinese? Because Congress taxes Americans

taxing the distant people Of Asia. If they deal
