Empire boys, have now an opportunity to put in
practice some of the patriotism they have talked
of for some years past. Patriotism points to the
Rio Grande-Eyes right

Mexico. twas got up for the purpose Of manu-
featuring reasons against any alteration in the
tariff; but the market is now gutted with reasons
against any alteration, which will continue in
operation for years to come. Those manufac-
turers who have despatched their products to the
fair, may well order them back again.
The WAR FEELING IN New YoRK.-It will be
perceived on referance to the proceedings before
the Board of Common Council, yesterday, in
