I'VE confess ourselves agreeaby disappointed in

In common with u great ma jorlty of the people uf

to the repeal of the Tariff of lS42 and The pa>suge Of
McKay's Bill, otherwise the Tariff If 40 because we
afraid that it would work serious injury To the
iron and coal interests. and prevent The prospective
developments of our mineral resources. We adhered
TO the old doctrine of protection of sus-
tanning local interests. and feared that every mnoya-
ton was fraught with mischief. In word, we felt
and acted with the community about but in spite.
of our protests. majority of Congress determined up
on the reduction and modification of the Tariff. The
law went into operation the first day Of De-
cember last, and consequently, have had the
first Instant four full months of trial of provisions

MORE DoDGING.-The Mishawaka Bee late whig-

of his being a whig or no wing beyond all doubt
And, until this is known-until the people have be,
thoroughly acquainted with his sentiments

sound upon every principle for the triumph of which

CoRwlN AND ScHENcK REBUKED.-The wings Of
Montgomery county held their nominating convention
on Saturday last. correspondent Of the Ohio States
man says:
'After the candidates were chosen a resolution was
offered approving the course of Corwin and Schenck
in reference to the war, which almost unanimous
ly Uoted docn The friends of Schenck took the
alarm and moved reconsideration, when the reso-
luton was, by bare majority, laid on the table"
This is a most scorchng rebuke. The wings of
ScHENcKs own county could not stand an approval of
his cOursc-and the sagacous of the politicians
we presume were afraid TO base their party action
upon any such grounds. The Montgomery Represen-
tative is not the only who will, good time, be
rcpudiated by the people.
