The Tariff.

We agree with the New York Eve
ming Post that the time 10 consider
the tariff question has arrived, and we
believe further, that the House should
proceed at once to pass the Joint
Resolution, directing notice to be
given to Great Britain that the Joint
occupancy Of the Oregon territory,
shall cease twelve months after date,
The tariff question is one in which
all are interested-it is a question
which divides the two great parties Of
the country in measure; and must
assume more Of national than a party
question; whenever lis considered.
and voted upon in the House.
We think that the giving the Ore
gon notice will have great effect
upon the proper settlement ofthe tar,
if. If there is baking on the twin
sister ofthe Texas question-Oregon-
We cannot say, what may be the fate
of an amended tariff bill in either
House of Congress. We are for a
REVENUE TARIFF strictly; and we are
for retaining OUR WHOLE COUNTRY at
any and every hazard. The bill from

authorizing the President TO accept
volunteers for the army, and 10 employ
merchant vessels for the navy in case
Of necessity, is one Of the most mpor-
tant bills of the session, and one
intimately connected with this ques.
ton. In laying duties, the probable
wants Of the country for the next four
years, must be taken into consider
alton. Should the proceeds of the
public lands be appropriated to the
navy, then the whole revenue Of the
country must be raised by imposts or
direct taxes. Ifwar should come, the
revenue ofthe country from imposts
would be uncertain, and dangerous to
depend upon. Congress should,
therefore, have an eye to all these
matters before coming to final
determination upon the tariff. The
probability of commercial treaty
between the United States and Great
Britain, should also, be taken into
consideration, and have weight with
wise legislators before definite action
is had. A resolution however de-
claring the sentiments Of both Hous'
es, as to the propriety of establishing
a tariff for revenue only, might be
passed at the present time, without
injury to any Of the great questions
that may hereafter arise, and would
satisfy for the present, the great body
of the democratic party.
What duties tariff for revenue on
ly would require, must depend upon
the wants of the country in peace OIL
in war: and those wants can only be
determined by future events. Pas.

On late occasion the Emperor Of

Nis the favorite argument Of The.
advocates Of high duties on foreign
manufactures. TO point ont England as
indebted for her high position in COM
merce and wealth, to her system Of
Legislative restriction on foreign i'm
portations.-That that country is in
possession Of great commercial pros
perity is universally conceded, but the
champions Of free trade have indubil-
ably shewn that she has attained that
prosperity not by the aid but in def.
ance of her llliberal commercial sys-
tenn, that she is indebted for her
wealth and power and even her Iiber.
~ to her geographical position-to
her many commanding harbors-to
the vast power Of production yielded
by her mines Of coal and iron, inter-
stratiied and conveniently disposed
for cheap use and Transport, and to
the industrious and persevering char
acter Of her people.
The whole of continental Europe
may furnish irrefragible arguments.
illustrative of the pernicious effects
ofthe restrictive system. Let US look
to them, and large volume is unroll-
ed for our experience, as beacons 10
warn US from pursuing similar fatal
policy. The impolicy Of restriction
is glaringly exemplifed in the case
of Austria. The natural resources Of
that country are equal ifthey do not
exceed that Of any other State in Eu..
rope. She might have been preemi>
nent in wealth and power, but she was
scduced by glittcring but mistaken
views Of national advantages TO adopt
a policy which, by its indirect taxa
ton, impoverished the nation, while it
produced an empty and bankrupt
treasury.
Spain likewise presents an instance
upon an enlarged scale, of the perni-
cious and runous effects of system
of commercial exclusion; and in def
ance Of the experience Of the disas.
trous consequences persevered in to
the present hour, Spain is the most
impoverished OF the great powers Of
Europe. France, it is true, fourishes
in spite Of external restrictions, but
her home trade is free, and thirty
years Of peace have developed her
vast resources.
We have before alluded to the i'm.
practicability Of enforcing the prohi.
bitive system, from the organized
smuggling to which it inevitably gives
birth. In defiance Of the Berlin and
Milan decrccs of Napoleon, enforced
as they we're with the most rigorous
despotism, British manufactures found
their way into the heart Of Germany
and Italy, and even in France the
soldiers Of the Emperor were clothed
with the products Of British manufac.
tories. The contraband trade, called
into existence by restriction, is the
worst feature in the system. Snug.
Cling puts an end to all honest and
open dealing. 1t demoralizes peo.
pie to such an extent, that nation of
smugglers can never hope to become
ointment as nation Of merchants,
manufacturers, or improved agricultu-
rists.-Jetersonian.

OURSELVES.

UUh0ElpED
its with modest pride that we
spreaentto our readers, this number Of
the Southern Journal. They can
discover that we have enlarged our
sheet considerably. Now we should
like to know what more we could do,
to entitle us to extended patrenage.-
Some nmy grumble, that we do not
give more particular account Of the
proceedings in our State Legislature.
II any such there be, let them read
the daily Mississippian, and satisfy
themselves that we are right. The
fact is, we begin to suspect strongly,
that wisdom will not die when the de.
cease ofall the members Of the legis-
lature occurs. According to our poor
judgment, the only redeeming quality
possessed BY that honorable body is,
that there are few members, who
have sense enough to be silent when
there il apothing to make a4speech a.
bout. We venture the assertion, that
the arguments we have heard often in
village debating societies, on the
grave question ofs.Pursuit or Posses

ting Of the windy politicians, who
have managed TO get seats in the lie,

1t is almost but not altogst sther as
bad in Congress-, We are Nsorry 10
say it, especially at this juncture. 1t
is an old saying that"a barking dog
will not bite" Tojudge from some
speeches on the Oregon question, this
saying is very applicable, to a good
many members ofCongress. BY their
ridiculous bravado very hostile feel

country and governmental Great Brit.

iosurmountable barrier to an AMIGA
Bile adjustment Of this matter. Indeed
an issue has already been made up
between the the two countries, which
threatens war. The folly Of either
country engaging in war, at this
time, induced US to believe that sure
. ly there would be none. But how
upon any fair terms an adjustment Of
the difficulty can now be made, we
cannot for our lives imagine. The
propositions which each government
has offered as the best it will do, have
been positively, and emphatically re
fused by the other. Now here is the
domineering old foe, planted in a po-
sition, antagonistical to the one which
our government has assumed. AT.
