In reference 10 the apprehended coils
ion Of the British and American naval
squndrons in the Pacific, the Philadelphia
North American has these remarks:
The statement made in relation to the
instructions under which the English fleet
in the Pacific is required 10 oppose the seiz
ure, by our squadron, Of any Mexican port
is, if il be true, most serious. Our fleet
has, doubtless. been instructed to act upon
the offensive; if that action be opposed BY
the English, collision must ensus, and
from the nearly equal force of the squad
rons, the conflict mus, be a bloody one.-
But Of all his we have not the sIightes,
apprehension. The statement is without
authority, and is. in itself, improba ble.-
There is no imaginable motive or justiica'
ton for such 40 interference on the par
of Grea, Br,,,;;.. The English Govern
ment, with characteristic prudence, mas
stationed considerable naval ,.c"rce
upon The western shore o. the continent in
contemplation OF possible contest upon
the Oregon question; and that fee, would
probably protest against the renewal Of the
expe riment Of occupying Monterey in the
name of tho American Government, in
time of profound peace. But war pro
claimed, there Is no reason TO believe,
from any thing that has ,ranspired. tina,
England would take part. II. however
her officers. falling into the error of Com
modore Jones should proceed to Institutes
there can be little doubt that the govern
ment would follow our example under like
circumstances. and alone tor the wrong.

The TARIFF IN CoNGRkss.-Mr. Brink

lHE TARIFF IN CONGRESS.- Brink
erhof Of Ohio, elected as a Democratic
representative, took occasion for himself
and 1--WE know not by what authority for his
Democratic colleagues, 10 announce their
determination to oppose the tariff bill from
the committee Of wavs and means, and in
effect, to sustain the wing tariff of A. 1t
does not appear that Mr.. Brinkerhnf' 5
views as to the iniquity Of the tariff have
undergone any particular change, hn, he is
not sat SIZED with the Oregon treaty, and
some other measures Of the administration,
and particularly is he not satisfied with the
distribution Of Offices for he thinks The
south has been favored. We do not envy
Mr.. Brnkerhof the fame he will acquire by
this move. He will justly subjec, himself,
and will attain and maintain the scorn Of
all honorable men of both parties. Suppose
the administration Of affairs has been con-
Quoted solely TO the benefit of the south;
Mr.. B,akerhoff, and all other anti tariff
men, contend that the tariff is an injury to
all concerned, and now he proposes to still
further injure and abuse HE north by con.in-
tuning it. We have head of biting IF the
nose to spite the face, and this il strikes us
is a marked case Of this kind. But Mr..
Brnkerhof in his speech has mainly to
complain Of the unjust distribution of the
ffices. Here is where the shoe pinches
Mr. Brinkerhof, applied to the Presiden,
TO be made a pay master in the army; the
President refused, and in his blind rag,
Mr.. Brinkerhoff attempts to pull down the
p liars Of the temple even on his own head.
Probably this move will endanger the new
tariff bill. We care not. The tarffie>
are but treasurns up wrath against the day
Of wrath. for popular opinion needs bu
checks Of this kind to arouse it, in shor'
time, to the overthrow Of all denominations
IN the shape of tariffs, whether they be call
ed revenue or protective.

ONO, one man in ten we imagine has
an idea, Of the cheapness with which a
state government, might be administered
Having nothing but the exlravagant exam
plies Of other states before US, as gener..l
thing we hope only. that We may keep
within the bounds Of their expenditures
If The Government, is confiEed to It's legii
mate duties, its expenses will be mex. to
nothing. With the exception of few
permanent elective officers, who have
their regular salaries, we need incur bu:
little expense. Three four,hs of all the
time in all the states IRE spent by Iegisla-
lures, in matters which are none Of their
business and with which they should never
have been entrusted. The state should
never be permitted as state to enter into
any works Of internal improvement, she
should never be- permitted TO grant special
privileges Of whatever character. and all
local iegisia'ion, should be granted TO the
counties. Under these circums lances, ard
they are the true and proper condition. it
will be seen we shall have use for very
little legislation, indeed; some time may be
required to &c. up and establish a good
code Of laws, suited to our condition, but
once established, excep, in specia' emerge.
cies,we know of nothing tina, would require
a legislature or a, leas, keep 1t in session
any length of time. The salaries Of our
elective officers then, would comprise the
principal source of our expenditures. the
whole amount Of which could by no posi-
bility reach great sum. We sly this on
the presumption, that our constitution will
confne such slate legislature MS it may es-
tablish, TO its legitimate functions.
