4 The desperation which is manifested by ,v q
Trade and Foreign Commercial interests within the
few last days; their recklessness of common de-
cency; their resort to the basest imputations upon
the Senate Of the United States, in which body the
Tariff bill is now pending, justify some hope, on
the part of the friends of Home Industry that they
have information which induces them believe thai
the Bill which has passed the House, may not after
all, pass the Senate.
What is remarkable in these venomous insinua-
tons against Senators is that it is Senators of their
own party alone who can be wounded by the poi
soned arrows which these Democratic journals dart
about at random, not in sport, but in hate and I'M
goyernable rage. To give our readers taste OF
these things, we subjon two or three extracts from
the latest New York city papers, which SO
much the more remarkable, as the papers from
which we copy them SO generally decent, and
sometimes so quite rational, that they the very
last in which we should expect to find such gross
and malevolent aspersions the following:
IL the Tariff bill should not pass, can the most
painful suspicious be prevented as to the cause
How great a calamity it is, that there should be
an interest, or a combination of interests, in our
country, who can afford to pay hundreds of thou
sands Of dollars to corrupt the elections when they
are pending, and corrupt the men ,oho are chosen
after the election !-Journal Of Commerce.
Ho,c has Mr.. NILES been turned about from
the principles of the men who elected him; and
as is common with apostates, berating with ten
fold hatred the men and the principles whom he
: has just deserted Same paper.
No effort will be spared to defeat the BILL

: kaoscs, that $4,000 or even 5000 would be
given for vote: and that the party then here
: ready for such an arrangement, should DISPOSE
ton to accept be intimated. cannot believe that
any man can be base enough to make such pro-
! position directly to any honorable Senator, much
: less do believe it would be accepted but it is
painful indeed to knoto that such base PROPOSE
lions are rumored AND FEARED."-" Occasional
correspondent Of same paper.
Here are the miserable politicians of Pennsyl
vana, crying Polk, Dallas, and Free Trade ant
not hesitating to avow the fraud in the face of the
nation, and by that means shifting the real Free
Trade opinion of their State. They are Bank
Democrats, Tariff Locofocos, any thing for Of
: flee. Same paper.
"There are Wings in this city who boastfully
declare that sufficient money has been sent on 10
: Washingfon to defeat the new tariff BILL This
: assertion is generally believed here. How this
money is to be used in what way expended is
neither stated nor known. The opinion prevails
here that sum of money has been raised and is
at present in Washington, in the hands of those
anxious TO defeat the new bill, and continue the
operation of the law of 1912. This money is 10
: be used by them in such ,cdy as UiH best accom-.
phsh their otject."-EUening Post.
We find in another New York paper, the Iele-
graph, (which, if not Democratic, is certainly not
Whig,) reply to this last paragraph, so just and
so much to the point, and SO applicable also to those
that precede it. that we do not think it necessary to
add single word of comment of our own:
"We regret to perceive broad insinuation in
the Evening Post of yesterday, that large sum of
money has been taken to Washington for the cor
srupt purpose of influencing voters against Mr..
McKay's bill.
Who are to be bribed! The only persons to
be brought over at this moment are Democratic
Senators! Is this charge proper one 10 be
made by Democratic print? Has it SO little
confidence in its great men as to believe they are
10 be bought? And how will this charge look
when repeated in the English papers, coming from
a source that will be considered an authentic one
We do not believe there is man of either party,
in the Senate, sunk so low TO be influenced by
money to vote against his convictions. Surely,
the hardest things snid by The Btig presses z
