IshemselVeS will shape their conduct accord

already over grown fortunes, como veal o

ferS are well filled, they yet thirst for gold,
whether it be justly obtained or wrung by
fraud from the hands Of the labOring classes.
They have proven their incaPacity to act
as impartial judges upon this question by
resOting to every mode which their inge.

therefore cannot be expected to emanate
from them, but from those whose sole desire
must be to promote the good Of their com.
mon countrywide have no motive to &C.
tuate them but . desire to carry out the
principles Of justice, to retain in lie beau.
ty and purity our present just and equal
system Of government.
From that portion Of the wing party, dis.
connected with tho manufacturing classes,
we may anticipate just verdict, they, we
trust will await patiently and judge the tree
only by its fruit.
The advocates Of the new tariff system,
may congratulate themselves upon its pros.
PeCtivo, favorable effects. Never did circum.
stances give promise Of brighter period
than the one just dawning upon the country.
The farming community, the real source OF
it, wealth and prosperity, cannot fail to oh.
tain fair prices for their products. "The
very FIRST GTEAMER," says the Washing.

gence from Europe, since the receipt there
Of the news thatth new tariff has become
the law Of the land, brings US intelligence
which raises the price Of breSdstufs in all
our Atlantic ports. That this increase Of
price Il owing to the demand for our bread
StuftS cannot be seriously questioned. p
Thus il is that tho grain growers of the
West will be bensftIed by the liberal poll.
cy which our government has adopted.
At the last accounts the European Cot
ton market was in = firm and healthy state
the manufacturing establishments prOmis.
ing also to become still more fiOurishine
and prosperous. The opening Of our ports
to goods Of foreign manufacture will, while
1t enables the consumer to purchase them
cheaper, increase the consumption Of and
thereby increase the demand for, the raw
material. Thus il is that the cotton plan.

when he PFOsPerS every other industrial
class in the community PrOspeFs.
All Of these advantages will extend to the
labOriDg and consuming classes generally.
The tide Of oppression viii have been roll.

rights tor which our fore6thers struggled
will have triumPhed. A wise and saluta.
~ example will have been set, and policy
which will rebound to The hap.
